Four people stood in front of a group of Egui who were hovering over a pile of carcasses.
The sun had set and the starless night sky was the backdrop for the annihilation that was about to begin.
The four people; mu Haocun, Meng Zhi, Master Yi and Chu Minishen exchanged eye contact and moved according to their plans.
Yep. After sunset they will start harvesting Siwang Mogu. But before that, they would eradicate Egui in order to safely harvest.
Mu Haocun was unmoved in place while Meng Zhi, Master Yi and Chu Minishen moved to the right, left and back of Mu Haocun.
They had no trouble walking on snow. It was as if their bodies were so light that their feet did not slither into the snow.
After being in their respective places, the three are ready with weapons that have been written protection characters.
An Egui realizes a group of humans not far from him are moving suspiciously.
His astral body trembled furiously causing greenish flickering. The Egui darted towards Mu Haocun who was activating the incantation paper.
Egui's instinct says that the yellow paper held by humans in front of him is dangerous.
"Kriee!"
With the shrill scream of an Egui, the entire Egui in the Siwang Mogu cultivation area darted towards Mu Haocun's group.
Egui's movements were more agile and his attacks were more deadly when night fell. Where the death energy is at the highest level.
Master Yi and Meng Zhi advanced to dispel some Egui with their jian. Their movements were no less agile than Egui's; resisting slashes, lunging and jumping.
The protective script shone brightly on their jian surface. When they slashed at Egui, their jian looked like a light sword used by the characters in the movie St*r W*rs.
Simultaneously, the incantation paper was successfully activated by Mu Haocun. There were several other incantation papers clasped in his left hand.
Some of the defeated Egui immediately recovered and re-attacked Meng Zhi, Mater Yi and Chu Minishen with an attack no less deadly than before.
They felt the effects of the spell so that it was increasingly fierce to attack Mu Haocun's group.
Meng Zhi and Master Yi dispelled the Egui coming from in front of Mu Haocun while Chu Minishen was in charge of guarding the area beside and behind Mu Haocun with his qiang that had a wide range.
Although Chu Minishen was not included in the list of the ten strongest people in this world, Chu Minishen was one of the strongest qiang holders.
Chu Minishen slashed at some Egui who were trying to attack them from behind.
The resulting wind waves roared like waves, troublesome Egui who was knocked back by the protection script.
Although a physical attack would have no effect on Egui, their bodies would still become unstable when exposed to the extremely strong wind.
Moreover, the wind there is little power of protection characters. A Egui who had managed to stab his body, charged back at Chu Minishen.
The Egui saw the front area that Meng Zhi and Master Yi were guarding impenetrable so chose to try his luck in the area that was guarded by Chu Minishen.
However unfortunate, the Chu Minishen qiang that had a wide range slashed down mercilessly. The Egui were knocked back.
"Kriee"
The two Egui tails returned to black smoke after being exposed to the extermination spell. Mu Haocun activated the second spell paper as the first spell paper burned away.
There are a dozen Egui who appeared tonight, as many as last day. But the only difference is the quality of his death energy that has been contaminated with negative feelings.
So to eradicate two Egui needed one sheet of incantation paper. Mu Haocun prepared twelve sheets of incantation paper just for tonight.
Six sheets is an estimate of the use of spell paper, while six more sheets for the prevention of bad things.
"Kriee!"
Two more tails turned back into black smoke. Meng Zhi and Master Yi looked even more relaxed as Egui switched to attacking Chu Minishen.
Seeing the group of Egui trying to break through his defenses, the Chu Minishen qiang moved increasingly agile.
Chu Minishen took several steps forward in order to freely use his body as a shaft and turn the qiang 360 degrees.
"Egui-Egui is stupid," Meng Zhi said as she shook her head then continued
"It looks like we can see Master Chu demonstrating his qiang skills,"
Master Yi simply stared at Chu Minishen while still denying the one or two Egui who used the opportunity to break through.
Chu Minishen seemed to have his own stage show. He moved his qiang around his shoulder then with the end of a sharp stab, an Egui was knocked back.
Chu Minishen's Qiang trembled as he felt his master's blood start to churn from the fight.
Yep. Chu Minishen was a consciousness-level weapon expert. His weapon had been upgraded so that it was enough to have its own consciousness.
Chu Minishen's Qiang resonated with the protection script, making its effectiveness one level higher.
Chu Minishen performed endless slashes and stabs. His movements flowed like waves and swallowed Egui into it.
The Egui-Egui were further enraged at not being able to break through the defense of the Chu Minishen who was only alone.
"Kriee!"
The two Egui tails turned back into black smoke. Now their combat power is half of the first.
They exerted all their remaining strength to attack Chu Minishen which was ultimately futile.
With the burning end of the seventh spell paper, there was an Egui that was so strong that it had to spend one spell paper, the extermination of the 3rd wave ended.
"It looks like we're not given a chance to show off, is it, Master Yi?" said Meng Zhi while shaking her head.
"Good work, Master Chu," said Master Yi not heeding Meng Zhi's words.
"Thank you, Master Yi. You could have, Master Meng," Chu Minishen said embarrassedly.
"Ah, Egui this time is quite extraordinary," Mu Haocun said as he stretched his body.
Meng Zhi and Chu Minishen were stunned. Pretty amazing? If the one who eradicated Egui this time was not Mu Haocun, it was possible that the person had already fainted after successfully eradicating the four Egui.
"We should harvest Siwang Mogu so that we can rest immediately" Mu Haocun said.
The person must use a sharp weapon inscribed with a protection character to harvest Siwang Mogu from the body of the carcass.
Then keep the harvested Siwang Mogu in a prepared cloth, which has been written the protection script as well.
The writing is red not derived from blood, but comes from the juice of herbal plants whose leaves are red.
The plant belongs to the magic plant whose properties are very strong just like fire lotus and others are the same into the group.
Ten minutes later, all the Siwang Mogu that could be harvested had been harvested. Mu Haocun, Meng Zhi, Master Yi and Cu Minishen were preparing to return home.
After resting for a few hours, they had to return at midnight to eradicate the 4th wave and then finish the annihilation that Mu Haocun's group did that day.
...
[In Mu Haocun's house]
"Aiyaa, why is this pill the color is still as turbid as before? I've been training my techniques, is it possible that this is due to my cultivation level?" mu Lian muttered while stroking her chin.
Throughout the day Mu Lian practiced her pill-making technique, producing up to eighteen pills in a murky green color.
If it was true, Mu Lian could not improve the quality of the pills due to her cultivation level, she did not dare to try any further because in this valley Mu Lian was already unable to cultivate anymore.
All of his cultivation during these two months was to practice manipulating his spiritual energy and making pill flames.
Mu Lian did not dare to tease the chi in the Eastern Ufuk Valley anymore. Resulting in Mu Lian's cultivation level was still the same as two months ago, the final stage chi condensation.
And Mu Lian did not bother about it, for her cultivation level was now enough to facilitate herself on the way to the capital.
"Lian'er, Master Mu has arrived. Let's have dinner" Ling Zizhou said.
"First off, I-I have to do something," Mu Lian said reluctantly. Ling Zizhou looked at Mu Lian and replied with an awkward smile.
"Hmm, Alright. Don't dawdle. Your food will be cold" Ling Zizhou said.
Mu Lian hurriedly took out her pills and equipment then returned to the room. After putting the pills and their quality, Mu Lian headed to the closet to bring clean underwear.Mu Lian saw the*********** said. Inside there is a cushion of rabbit skin.
"Ugh, the coming days of the moon in this world are very troublesome. Especially in winter," Mu Lian complained.
When Mu Lian first came to this world, she experienced a culture of shock about the absence of sanitary napkins.
Sanitary napkins are known as blood vessels in this world. Mu Lian was presented with several types of blood vessels at that time.
The first is a blood vessel made of grass with moss pads, the second is made of fine wood pulp from trees.
Mu Lian was stunned to see the 'blood container' and was at a loss about which one to choose because Mu Lian had never worn one like that.
Mu Lian also thought whether the blood vessels of the two ingredients were hygienic or not. Just thinking about it made his brain overload.
Finally Mu Lian chose a blood vessel made from the skin of the cute animal. Mu Lian felt guilty yet she could do nothing.
After all, the blood-bearing surface was so soft and comfortable, reminiscent of pads on Earth.
Recalling Mu Haocun and the others waiting for him, Mu Lian immediately wiped her lower body then changed her blood vessel.
After making sure her skirt was firmly tied, Mu Lian descended into the grounds. It seemed that Mu Haocun, Ling Zizhou, Master Yi and Han Tengfei were already sitting in their respective places and were drinking tea.
"Grandfather, Master Yi, welcome. Why haven't you started eating?" said Mu Lian.
"Oh, Lian. Come here, the weather is already very cold. We should eat the dish immediately, it's good that Master Yi used a spell to keep the food warm" Mu Haocun said.
"Sorry to keep you waiting" Mu Lian said embarrassedly. He did not say the reason but everyone here knew that Mu Lian was taking care of the moon.
A few days earlier Mu Lian had bought an interior with pads from rabbit skin. Hence Mu Haocun had also since a few days ago requested that Mu Lian not overextend herself.
Mu Lian sat beside Mu Haocun then they ate solemnly. After eating, Mu Haocun bailed back to his room to take care of something while Master Yi went somewhere.
Ling Zizhou went to the kitchen to wash the dishes followed by Han Tengfei. It seemed like the bond between the two young men was getting tighter.
Mu Lian was grateful that lately Han Tengfei had become more and more attached to Ling Zizhou so he could freely develop his pill-making abilities.
Mu Lian returned to the room then sat down to write her diary. Ever since he learned to manipulate spiritual energy, his diary turned into his journal of learning.
How is the progress today, what are the weaknesses that must be considered, the next steps to be learned and so forth.
Lately, Mu Lian has been doing a lot of research from various books that can be found in Mu Haocun's room on how to increase effectiveness in chi extraction.
But it seems Mu Lian will not find a hypothesis if she has not really done chi extraction.
There was still a lot to think about but before that, Mu Lian got up from her chair then laid her body on the bed.
"Ah, after work it is best to sleep," Mu Lian murmured as she closed her eyes.
Yet just ten minutes into closing his eyes, Mu Lian heard a slow knock. Mu Lian got up and approached the door.
"Grandfather?" said Mu Lian.
"Are you on a break?" said Mu Haocun.
"No, come in" said Mu Lian lying.
How could he refuse Mu Haocun if Mu Haocun himself who had just returned from the cultivation area had not rested at all?
"Well, it won't be long. Grandfather will only provide important points in chi extraction research," Mu Haocun said as he walked into the room and sat down on a chair.
Mu Haocun put down a package, a tweezers-like tool as well as several sheets of paper. Mu Lian closed the door of the room then stood in front of the table, looking at the items placed on it curiously.
"Oh. Please make it clear that I didn't make a mistake" Mu Lian said.
"This is the way we do research. On the other sheet are the necessary materials, just ask Zhouzhou or Han youth for help to collect the materials," Mu Haocun said as he handed Mu Lian a stack of papers.
Mu Lian skimmed through the writings on the paper. Mu Lian's mouth opened looking at the steps written down, not because it was so difficult, Mu Lian had already gotten used to the very many steps in concocting herbal medicine.
One word that could describe the situation that Mu Lian would face later, was dangerous. Pretty dangerous for him.
