C108 (1/2)

For the next few days, Jiu Mu Li was in closed door cultivation and did not take a single step out of the room. It was as if he felt that he was being treated coldly, and finally, Meng Bu Si did not disturb him, causing him to heave a huge sigh of relief.

She was worried that Meng Bu Si would pester her the most, and if he did, she would really fly into a rage.

Only, what made her more at ease was that Qin Zheng hadn't come to disturb her in the recent days. She didn't know what Qin Zheng was thinking, but she had a feeling that it was related to the argument that happened that night.

”This is good as well. At least we can avoid that kind of trouble in the future.”

Jiu Mu Li was very optimistic. The maturity of her soul allowed her to be more decisive than ordinary people, and very quickly, she fell into a state of cultivation.

She did not know how difficult it was to receive a 'Heavenly Flame'. Other than an alchemist, no one would know that this was a secret that was not passed on. However, she was confident that she would be able to receive it.

Other people had their own secret methods and inheritances, but she had a lot of help. Even if it was Qin Zheng, she would only use his external help a lot of the time, so her final secret would still be the glazed palace lamp.

This palace lamp had already given her many miracles. She believed that even if she failed to obtain the Heavenly Flames in the end, she would not die. At the very least, she would not be burned to death.

The cold war with Qin Zheng had come so suddenly, but Jiu Mu Li was not too distracted. She had to walk the road herself, she had always been very clear-headed, and she also hoped that Qin Zheng could understand what she meant.

After all, there were still more than two months before the Star God Pagoda would open. It was as if within these two months, she could not abandon Qin Zheng and leave by herself.

Ten days was neither long nor short, and it was difficult for cultivation to notice the passage of time. After ten days had passed, and just as the day of the inheritance site's opening arrived, Jiu Mu Li, unaware of anything, was still awakened by the people of the First Island Owner. Only then did he understand that the time had already come.

When Jiu Mu Li left the room, he saw that Qin Zheng had also been alerted, and was already waiting outside.

”Is it time?”

Jiu Mu Li was still a little confused and regretful. She felt that her cultivation had been going smoothly recently, and that these days of not disturbing others really made her feel at ease. It was a pity that she didn't have enough time.

”Let's go.”

Qin Zheng nodded lightly. Ten days had passed and he seemed to have become a lot calmer.

When Jiu Mu Li and Qin Zheng saw First Island Owner, the First Island Owner became more passionate than ever before, and laughed: ”Little friend, you're out of seclusion?”

”I have to thank the Island Lord for telling me.” Jiu Mu Li laughed.

Being polite to many people was not strange. She did not put on airs, nor did she show her kindness by saving her life. She still placed herself in a junior's position.

First Island Owner gave a surprised smile and said: ”Since that's the case, I wonder if we should prepare any pills?”

”There's no need. You can't force your luck. If you're too greedy, it'll just be too beautiful for you.”

After all, the inheritance grounds this time was very strange, allowing her to enter even the Starer Stage s, this did not give her much of an advantage. In the ninth floor of the Starer s, the difference in strength was obvious, no matter how strong she was, it was impossible for her to fight against the cultivators in the ninth floor of the Starer.

”If that's the case, then we won't have to delay any longer. I believe that everyone is already here.”

First Island Owner glanced at Jiu Mu Li with appreciation, and then took the lead to walk forward.

Seeing that, Jiu Mu Li followed closely behind, just at this time, Meng Bu Si elegantly arrived next to Jiu Mu Li, and smiled: ”Ninth Miss, it is my pleasure to meet you. I still have some pills and spirit stones with me, please accept them.

Jiu Mu Li's good mood instantly flew beyond the ninth heaven as he dryly laughed and said: ”Many thanks to young master for your good intentions.

”This is nothing. I'm just trying to be a host, so there's no need to shirk.”

”There's really no need.”

Jiu Mu Li rejected her once again.

Meng Bu Si was about to continue speaking, but he suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill from behind him, causing his face to freeze. He turned his head to see Qin Zheng, and his expression changed slightly as he cupped his fists in embarrassment.

Qin Zheng coldly glanced at Meng Bu Si, and was immediately disinclined to pay attention to him.

Meng Bu Si was enraged, and wanted to teach Qin Zheng a lesson, but remembering the chill from earlier, he immediately extinguished that thought. He knew how powerful that coldness was, the opponent's cultivation was definitely higher than his.

”The Ninth Miss actually has such a strong bodyguard, looks like her identity must be extraordinary.”

Meng Bu Si's heart was burning with passion. Only such a woman was worthy of him.

Jiu Mu Li did not notice the small confrontation between Qin Zheng and Qin Zheng and immediately followed. They left the majestic city and arrived at a small deserted area on the west side of First Island.

At this time, on this seemingly quiet and desolate outskirts of the city, stood many cultivators. Jiu Mu Li roughly scanned the place and found that none of them were weak, there were not even a few with cultivation lower than hers.

”Greetings, Island Lord.”

Seeing that the First Island Owner had appeared, everyone bowed in respect.

The First Island Owner smiled and nodded, then pointed to the few cultivators that were in the middle and said to Jiu Mu Li: ”Every time the inheritance land opens, there will be eighty-one slots, split among the nine islands in the Sea of Nine Serenities, and each island will have nine slots. Those are the cultivators that will belong to my First Island, you will go in with them later on, I have already instructed them to take care of you.”

”Thank you, Island Lord.”

”There is no need to be so courteous. This small favor is nothing. You have saved my life.”
