Endless Ascension

Chapter 67: Chapter 67, Professional Street Sweeping Team ?

After several casual conversations, Qin Ze became quite familiar with Lin Yan and the others. When he heard that they were disciples of the Thousand Machinery Sect, his heart was greatly shaken. He never expected to have contact with the Thousand Machinery Sect so soon, which conflicted somewhat with his plan. Secretly, he was also beginning to change his original plan.

As the sun set in the west, the sky gradually darkened. The monster beasts in the forest grew restless, emitting heart-pounding roars. It wouldn't be long before they would come out in groups to hunt for food. At night, it was their domain.

"Brother Qin, let's part ways here. I'll always remember your great kindness." Lin Yan cupped his fists and said generously. He waved at his companions, getting ready to set off.

Qin Ze originally wanted them to stay in the cave where he lived for one night, but seeing their eagerness to leave, he didn't mention it. He knew better than anyone how dangerous the nights in the Kunlun Mountains were. Traveling at night was likely to be fraught with dangers.

Of course, Lin Yan and the others weren't hurrying back to the Thousand Machinery Sect.

The mission to kill the Thousand-Year Corpse King failed, and losing two Evil-Suppressing Talismans was already a huge loss. If they returned like this, it would truly be a total loss.

The Kunlun Mountains were both a dangerous place and a treasure trove. Hunting the Thousand-Year Corpse King was a gamble, and hunting a fifth-rank monster beast was also a gamble. They simply decided to go all out.

From Lin Yan's eyes, the other companions had already sensed his intentions, so when he waved, they were already prepared.

Qin Ze didn't know the tacit understanding between them. He thought they were in a hurry to return to the Thousand Machinery Sect, so he didn't try to dissuade them and simply parted ways.

Before leaving, Yi Qianhan gave Qin Ze a cold glance. Qin Ze immediately felt a chill throughout his body. Her icy gaze was like the ice from the Nether Sea, empty and extremely cold. He immediately turned his gaze to the other side, a little afraid to look directly at her.

He felt that taking advantage of the situation to act like a rogue was truly inappropriate, but he didn't think he was wrong. He even felt somewhat justified. He was a man, and sometimes a man driven by lust. Kneading those tall and soft breasts a few times felt really good.

Avoiding Yi Qianhan's gaze, Qin Ze also quickly walked towards the other side and disappeared into the forest...

"Qianhan, did he do anything to you just now? Your gaze at him is not right."

Chang Feng was always meticulous. Since Yi Qianhan woke up, her gaze was not right. When she saw Qin Ze, her expression changed repeatedly, and he guessed that something must have happened.

Yi Qianhan didn't answer. She seldom spoke. Lin Yan gave the orders, and she carried them out. In the team, her strength ranked second. She was at the ninth stage of Gathering Spirit, only one step away from the Lian Gang Realm.

Yi Qianhan was very beautiful. In the Thousand Machinery Sect, she was known as the Ice Beauty. Her style of doing things was astonishingly fierce. Anyone who was slightly disrespectful to her would definitely not be let off easily. For this reason, she also got the title of 'Spicy Handed Ice Fairy'.

For Qin Ze, she harbored a killing intent in her heart. But when she knew that Qin Ze defeated Yang Han with one palm, the killing intent in her heart receded, and there was even a little joy.

Yang Han was the person she dreamed of killing.

"Alright, don't mention this anymore. Let's start assigning tasks..."

Seeing that Yi Qianhan didn't speak, Lin Yan naturally assumed that Qin Ze hadn't done anything to her, and then several people began to assign tasks.

Fifth-rank monster beasts weren't everywhere.

Lin Yan and a few others wanted to find a fifth-rank monster beast to hunt and obtain a core. This way, they wouldn't have suffered any losses. The core was very important for their current cultivation. For this reason, Lin Yan ventured deeper into the hinterland of the Kunlun Mountains again...

Lin Yan, Fang Kui, and Yi Qianhan were responsible for killing the monster beasts. Chang Feng was responsible for collecting the monster beasts' essence blood, bones, and hides. Xue Dingshan specialized in collecting various spirit herbs.

The five of them had clear divisions of labor, cooperated tacitly, and moved as fast as the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

A professional street sweeping team.

Wherever they went, everything that could be sold or utilized was swept clean. Not even a single spirit herb seedling was spared. It could be seen how difficult their days in the Thousand Machinery Sect were.

No matter how powerful the Thousand Machinery Sect was in the world of cultivation, being qualified to be selected as an outer disciple was an unparalleled honor. But no one was as down and out as their group, needing to rely on these low-rank monster beasts to make a living.

The word 'iserable' was not enough to describe their downfall.

However, they had happy smiles on their faces. Having brothers by their side was more important than anything else.

At midnight, dark clouds gathered.

The sky was very gloomy, and the atmosphere was very oppressive. A heavy rain was about to fall soon.

Qin Ze leaned against the rock wall at the entrance of the cave, recalling Yang Han's domineering attack. His heart trembled faintly. That kind of power made him deeply afraid from the bottom of his heart and made him deeply aware of the gap between the Gathering Spirit Realm and the Lian Gang Realm, like a huge chasm.

Pressure, heavy pressure.

Qin Xiangtian was at the ninth stage of Gathering Spirit two years ago. Would he break through in a few years?

What kind of reaction would Qin Zhantian, this old fox, have at that time? Would he stand on his side?

At first, Qin Ze didn't think about these. He only thought of killing them one by one three years later, but he overlooked their strength. Facing the strength of the Lian Gang Realm, he really had no confidence in his heart.

Offending Yang Han today, he would definitely have no good days in the Thousand Machinery Sect in the future. If he didn't want to be bullied and be able to kill the two bosses as soon as he returned to the Qin family, there was only one way.

Become stronger!

He must break through to the Lian Gang Realm within half a year!

In an instant, Qin Ze's eyes became extremely determined. He stood up and jumped down without hesitation...

The soundly sleeping Maomao bounced up instantly and quickly followed and rushed down.

The night was oppressive and extremely dull, but Qin Ze's heart was as clear as a mirror.

Under the bone knife, monster beasts kept falling. The experience points were refreshing crazily. Around his body, blood was everywhere, and he was covered in the blood of monster beasts. Many fourth-rank monster beasts' legs were shivering, and finally, they ran away frantically...

Killing all the way, Qin Ze didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he became more and more excited. On one side, Maomao, as if stimulated by the fierce body during today's battle form, was also killing brutally. But as soon as it pounced, it was slapped away by a fourth-rank monster beast. If it weren't for its thick skin and tough flesh, it would have been smashed into meat paste.

Slapped away, Maomao bared its teeth and brandished its claws, looking fierce. It released several tiny wind blades that couldn't be any smaller. Then its whole body became limp and lay there again, like a dead dog.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer monster beasts. There were monster beast corpses everywhere around, and all had been dissected. The essence blood, bones, and even the surrounding spirit herbs had all been collected.

Qin Ze couldn't help but wonder, "Street sweepers?"

This was too clean! Who was so short of money? How many people who could kill fourth-rank monster beasts would care about the essence blood and bones of the monster beasts, and even the low-rank spirit herbs around?

He really couldn't understand. People who could enter the hinterland of the Kunlun Mountains were all of considerable strength. No one would care about these. The scene in front of him was like a swarm of locusts passing by, sweeping everything clean.

"No matter how poor, it wouldn't be like this, right?"

He didn't think much about it at the moment and followed the trail of the monster beast corpses. He really wanted to see who could be so poor...
