It’s not beneficial to have a conflict with Qin Zheng and the others now.
The opposing party isn’t a pushover; even if they win, it would only be a pyrrhic victory.
By then, with their Primordial Qi greatly depleted, the Gongshu Family would be even more disadvantaged in this secret realm.
Thus, engaging in a battle for pride right now would be a futile endeavor.
Understanding this point, Gongshu Yu suppressed the coldness in his heart, and finally waved his hand.
"Let’s go."
The other Gongshu Family Members, seeing the Qiankun Sect refusing, also turned cold.
As they left, their gaze towards Qin Zheng and his group was filled with hostility.
"Second Senior Brother, I believe the Gongshu Family won’t easily let this go. When we meet again, we might be enemies."
After the Gongshu Family Members left, Ye Qingzhu spoke with some concern.𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"What is there to fear? If it comes to it, I’ll fight them. If Second Senior Brother hadn’t stopped me, I would have struck with my sword!"
A disciple of the Qiankun sect said loudly.
"Indeed, it would also be a chance to avenge Junior Brother Zhao Gang," Chu Xiaoqing shouted.
"Gongshu Yu and the others probably won’t confront us directly; it would be disadvantageous for them," Qin Zheng said. "But we should also be wary of their covert moves. In the coming days, don’t act alone to avoid being ambushed, understand?"
"Yes, Second Senior Brother!"
Upon hearing this, all the Qiankun Sect disciples felt a chill in their hearts and responded in unison.
They knew the shamelessness of the Gongshu Family; it was quite likely they would resort to such despicable actions.
"Alright, let’s retreat to the valley for now, and remain vigilant moving forward."
The group returned to the valley, seeing the Daoist Wubao still guarding there, and the log cabin where Lu Qing resided remained tightly shut.
"Master Wubao, has Mr. Chen not finished adjusting his breath yet?" Qin Zheng asked.
"Mr. Chen has just conveyed to me through voice transmission, saying that he gained insights while battling the Black Wolf Mutant Beast and needs to retreat to digest these insights. He asks everyone not to worry, as he should be able to emerge tomorrow."
The Daoist Wubao replied.
"Mr. Chen is truly gifted, able to gain insights amidst combat," Qin Zheng praised. "In that case, we don’t need to keep vigil here anymore. Let’s focus on our own tasks.Junior Sister Qing Zhu, Junior Brother Zixiao, your bodies haven’t fully recovered yet; you can use this time to rest."
"Yes, Second Senior Brother."
Ye Qingzhu and the others did not refuse.
They understood that only by fully restoring their strength would they not hold back their fellow sect members.
After all, this secret realm was fraught with dangers.
Now that they have truly fallen out with the Gongshu Family, it’s likely they will face more targeting in the future.
Only by quickly recovering their strength could they better cope with all these challenges.
Immediately, the group of Qiankun Sect disciples set about their own tasks.
Some started practicing cultivation through meditation, while others delved into comprehending cultivation techniques. Ye Qingzhu and the few held a Spirit Stone in their hands, extracting its spiritual charm to regulate their injuries.
In the log cabin, Lu Qing was staring absent-mindedly at a strand of dazzling blood floating before him.
Indeed, he had refined the Witch’s Primordial Blood from within the Black Wolf Beast.
The Witch’s Primordial Blood at the Golden Core Level in a mutant beast was indeed extraordinary.
Lu Qing sensed that within the blood strand before him, there was an immense energy.
He felt a strong desire deep within, wishing to devour it instantly.
Still, Lu Qing exerted powerful restraint to suppress his body’s instincts, preventing them from affecting his heart and spirit.
"Ah Qing, are you going to refine this strand of blood?"
Little Li stood on Lu Qing’s shoulder, looking at that blood diamond-like strand of blood, swallowed hard, then asked.
It also harbored an overwhelming desire for this strand of blood.
If it weren’t for its opened spiritual wisdom, and it had been journeying with Lu Qing for so long, its Dao Heart being similarly honed well.
It might not have been able to suppress the desire within its heart.
"Yes, I am still unsure of the risks in refining this Golden Core Level blood. I will attempt it this time.If the risk is not great, we will hunt other Golden Core Level mutant beasts later and extract the blood for your refinement."
Lu Qing stroked the little creature’s head, comforting it.
Within the Witch’s Primordial Blood lies Evil Qi, and Lu Qing was unsure of the strength of the Evil Qi in this Golden Core Level Primordial Blood, so he dared not risk allowing Little Li to refine it first.
Little Li understood this point, and immediately urged, "Then, Ah Qing, refine it quickly, or else I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist swallowing it!"
"Alright."
Lu Qing smiled, refraining from hesitation, and opened his mouth to devour the Witch’s Primordial Blood floating before him.
Once the Primordial Blood entered his body, Lu Qing rapidly activated his heart and spirit to refine it.
Immediately, the vast and peculiar Life Energy within the Primordial Blood exploded, continually absorbed by him, and his physical body began quickly strengthening at a visibly rapid pace.
