The Spiritual Energy in Lou Mu Yan’s body had practically been exhausted, and her spirit was also a little sluggish.
She took out a few bottles of Spiritual Energy Replenishing Pills and took them, causing many Sword Masters in the resting area to twitch their lips irresistibly again.
How many bottles of pills did this woman have? Was it really good to waste so luxuriously?
The fragrance of the pills overflowed from the bottle and lingered in the entire resting area. The Sword Masters who were resting and meditating next to them opened their eyes one after another, just wishing to snatch the pill bottle from her so that she wouldn’t waste it like this.
Only after Lou Mu Yan took a few bottles of Spiritual Energy Replenishing Pills, was the emptied Spiritual Energy replenished by a lot. The effect of Grade 2 Spiritual Energy Replenishing Pills to replenish Spiritual Energy for her had already weakened a lot. It seemed that she had to find the Sea Serene Herb to refine the Grade 3 Spiritual Energy Return Pill.
Discovering that the eyes that were looking at her were too scorching, she decided that it was best to find an inn to live in when it was dawn.
But before dawn, a pained cry from Xue Xue sounded in her Sea of Consciousness.
“Owner, I can’t take it anymore.”
Lou Mu Yan asked in confusion: “What you can’t take anymore?”
“The metal attribute of the token you had me swallow is too strong. My Demonic Energy is not only suppressed buy it, but I even feel that the wood Spiritual Force in my body is slowly drained.” Xue Xue’s voice was slightly hoarse.
Lou Mu Yan opened her eyes abruptly. Now wasn’t an appropriate time to take the token out in front of so many people to examine it. She stood up and said to Yun Zi Mo and the others: “I want to go wash up, let’s go to an inn to stay.”
It was almost dawn now and there wouldn’t be any more Demonic Beast groups appearing. Many Sword Masters had already packed up and left to earn points, so the inns would also have free rooms.
The several people didn’t know why she was so sudden, but none of them asked, and they all stood up and left the resting area together.
In fact, Lou Mu Yan’s scruples were correct. After they went to the city wall resting area after the battle, many Sword Masters went to the battle area as if to look for something. The pile of ashes on the ground was also turned over countless times before finally being scattered by the wind.
Even the Elders of the Six Major Sects had been monitoring the battle area, only to withdraw their attention when they found that the pure gold token that Yi Zhao fused with couldn’t be found.
Those who coveted the pure gold token guessed that it was either merged together with Yi Zhao or was burned to ashes by Lou Mu Yan’s Elemental Energy flame, which was a pity.
Many people saw that Lou Mu Yan and the others didn’t take anything with them before leaving, not even the enemy’s interspatial ring, so the Sword Masters who were rummaging for things also wanted the interspatial rings of the few that died along with the golden token.
But they were doomed to have searched in vain.
At this time, many Sword Masters left the inn and went out of the city, so they also successfully found a few vacant rooms.
Lou Mu Yan addressed the other people, then went into her room and set up a Spirit-Proof Array to isolate all sounds and Mental Energy from entering and disturbing.
With a thought, Xue Xue appeared in the room. The humanised face on his trunk was currently filled with a pained expression.
“Owner, it’s so uncomfortable, I can’t spit out that token anymore.”
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes narrowed and she placed her hands on Xue Xue. When she found the location of the pure gold token, she forced it out with her Spiritual Energy.
While holding the token, she didn’t withdraw her hand, but instead operated her dan’tian and channelled slivers of Spiritual Energy with the green fog into the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King’s body.
The golden body that had dimmed a lot gradually regained its lustre and many soft shoots grew on his body. Such channelling lasted around more than two hours. Only when her Spiritual Energy was about to be exhausted, did she withdraw her hand.
Xue Xue moved his vines comfortably and it was a lie to say that he wasn’t touched.
After Lou Mu Yan took out the token, she didn’t check it immediately, but instead used the pure Spiritual Energy in her body to heal his wounds. Now he wasn’t only healed, but the bottleneck that he was stuck at just collapsed, and he successfully advanced to Middle-Phase Tier 6.
Of course, to be able to advance so quickly, aside from Lou Mu Yan’s special Spiritual Energy, it was also inseparable from the recent absorption of large amounts of blood essence.
“Owner!” Xue Xue waved his vines to hug Lou Mu Yan and even wanted to rub his head against her like Bing Ji did.
“Go over there to consolidate your cultivation base.” Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him and immediately waved away his vines. Why did all her Spirit Pets besides Mo Yan like to rub against her.
Then Xue Xue found that both Bing Ji and Mo Yan were throwing a look of cold knives at him. He swallowed and moved his rhizome to a corner to consolidate his cultivation, cursing the two beasts over and over inwardly.
Both desirable shoulders of Owner were occupied by the two beasts, and all he wanted was to get close to Owner, yet they tossed cold gazes at him. They were truly hateful.
“Mo Yan, do you think this is a token to open some place?” Lou Mu Yan flipped over the pure gold token, just feeling that it wasn’t that simple and was hiding some kind of secret.
There was a smile in Mo Yan’s light eyes, “Mm, although I don’t know what place this token opens, but it’s definitely worthy entering.”
“Even you don’t know where?” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow.
“Don’t know. It’s not like I’m familiar with Tian’ling Continent.” He wasn’t as familiar with this small interface as Lou Mu Yan was, who had read the Continental Records.
Seeing her think deeply, he continued in a light tone: “It could be a Secret Realm, it could be an inheritance place, or it could also be a secret space somewhere. Either way, any such places had endless benefits.”
Lou Mu Yan played with the pure gold token in her hand. She keenly found that there was an Array in it, and it was also a very advanced Array. But because her Mental Energy hadn’t yet woken up to be able probe into it, she could only temporarily give up.
Although the Array methods of this Continent weren’t as comprehensive as those she had, but there were also many that she hadn’t seen before, just like the Image Reflection Array that Mo Yan spoke of that day. A desire to explore also rose in her heart.
“The Metal Element in this token even made Xue Xue unable to stand it. I sure am really looking forward to the day it will actually be used.” She put away the pure gold token and there was just a feeling in her heart that she would use it one day.
Mo Yan glanced at the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King in the corner who was consolidating his cultivation and spit out some words: “Too weak.”
“…” Xue was still soaking in the excitement of having advanced, but when he suddenly heard Boss Yan’s words, it was instantly like a bucket of cold water was poured over him, and whatever passion was all gone.
“HAHA, Xue is a weak chicken to begin with.” Bing Ji was rarely able to watch someone else’s joke.
Mo Yan looked askance at him, “His combat power right now is no weaker than yours.”
Bing Ji chocked, “Well, for me, isn’t it all because my Demonic Energy was sealed by Owner’s man, so how can I compare to that weak chicken.”
“You, a Tier 8 Demonic Beast, was even one stage higher than that person’s cultivation base, yet you still had your Demonic Energy sealed. You sure aren’t embarrassed to say it.” Mo Yan snorted coldly—it really was losing the face of Divine Beasts.
“Well that man’s just an abnormal monster after all. When you fight him one day, you’ll know.” When mentioning the battle that day, he still felt a chill in his heart. It would be best not to provoke that man in the future anymore.
Xue had a face of grievance. This was basically getting stabbed even when he was lying down1, minding his own business…
Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at Bing Ji—what did he mean by her man?
Then she watched the two beasts bicker in amusement. She was also very curious about how Ming Xiu defeated Bing Ji that day. Each time this stinky bird mentioned the events of that day, it was like he still had lingering fears.

1a slight change to the popular colloquial saying/internet slang in China literally translating to ‘to get shot [by a gun] even when lying down’. Basically meaning to be implicated in something by just being there/while minding their own business. Obviously guns don’t quite exist in this world so knives it is hahaha
