"Let's see where you can run now."

Jiang Xiyue snorted coldly, collected the more than ten magical artifacts that Ma Ke had knocked down, and then used her long whip to lead him away from where he stood.

About fifteen minutes later, she led Ma Ke into a dense forest.

"What is your cultivation level?" Because she saw that the other party's cultivation level was only the fourth level of Qi Refining, which was definitely impossible.

Ma Ke hadn't expected this to be the first question, but he still answered honestly, "Ninth level of Qi Refining."

As he spoke, he revealed his true cultivation level.

Jiang Xiyue's expression hardened: "How is it possible that someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining is so difficult to deal with? Moreover, even I couldn't detect their method of concealing their cultivation level."

She didn't ask any further questions, but simply took Ma Ke's storage bag, opened it, and probed it with her divine sense.

Seeing that there were hundreds of various talismans, dozens of different magical artifacts, over a hundred bottles of pills, and more than five thousand high-grade spirit stones inside, he couldn't help but grin secretly.

How could a Qi Refining disciple be so rich?

She originally thought that these items used during the Qi Refining stage were the most valuable things Ma Ke possessed, until she opened a jade box.

"A thousand-year-old spiritual herb!" she exclaimed, thinking her eyes were playing tricks on her.

After a second examination, it was confirmed that this was a thousand-year-old Cold Marrow Grass.

So, she couldn't wait to take out another jade box and open it: "Blue Flame Fruit, this is at least eight hundred years old."

Upon seeing that there were seven or eight jade boxes inside, Jiang Xiyue could not hide her joy and opened them all to check.

Sure enough, they were all high-grade spiritual materials, with the youngest being over five hundred years old.

"Looks like my luck has finally turned around. I can catch a big fish at random today. I don't have to risk going into Lin Yuan City anymore." Jiang Xiyue was overjoyed.

While feeling frustrated, Ma Ke also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had only given up less than 30%, otherwise he would have been doing all the work for this witch.

However, he quickly said, "Fairy, you don't need to silence me. Actually, these are all stolen goods. I took them from someone else. You can take them without any problem."

Jiang Xiyue sneered: "Stolen? Which Qi Refining stage cultivator has so many spiritual materials for you to steal?"

"Does the fairy know of the secret realm of Chanyuan?"

Jiang Xiyue's heart skipped a beat: "You went in?"

Ma Ke nodded: "Moreover, I entered as an outer disciple. At that time, I only revealed my Qi Refining Level 3 cultivation."

"Do you take me for a three-year-old? Everyone knows that when the Chanyuan Secret Realm opens, each sect sends multiple Golden Core cultivators, and even Nascent Soul cultivators, to oversee it. Do you think a Qi Refining cultivator like you can escape their notice?"

Ma Ke quickly explained, "Fairy, you may not know this, but just a month ago I was only an outer disciple of the Ziyang Sect at the third level of Qi Refining. Of course, my true cultivation level had long been at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but I had been hiding in the outer sect all along."

"Look at my identity jade token. It doesn't show which peak I belong to. That's because it shows that I'm only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, less than a month ago, and I just joined the inner sect."

"That's why I entered the Chanyuan Secret Realm this time as an outer disciple. Why would those important figures even give me a second glance?"

"Then, I took the opportunity to break away from those inner disciples within the secret realm and seized a few teams, which is how I gained these spoils."

Jiang Xiyue asked suspiciously, "Judging from your performance today, I believe you can indeed succeed in stealing it, but how did you manage to sneak it out without the knowledge of those Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators? I know those storage bags are specially made."

"It's simple, just swallow that storage bag and then find a chance to poop it out," Ma Ke replied immediately.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyue almost threw away the storage bag in her hand.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to flaunt that storage bag in public. I've already secretly disposed of it. This is a storage bag issued by the sect."

Jiang Xiyue sneered: "Just by eating it, you think you can fool so many Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators? Who are you trying to fool?"

"Whether I entered or left the secret realm, I was always in front of a group of Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators. Did they ever notice that I was concealing my cultivation level? You didn't see through my true cultivation either, did you?"

"If that's the case, what kind of cultivation technique do you practice?"

"The secret manual is in the storage bag."

Jiang Xiyue immediately took out a book that she hadn't paid much attention to before. It had the words "Open Source Limitless Kung Fu" written on it. It was obviously handwritten and very new.

Upon opening it, it's immediately clear that the handwritten characters inside are not from any senior writer.

Ma Ke seemed to know what she was thinking and quickly explained, "I copied this from a stone tablet. With your knowledge, you should be able to tell the difference between good and bad after just a few glances at the content of the technique."

Jiang Xiyue immediately examined it and indeed found that this cultivation technique was not simple, which made her believe it to some extent.

Ma Ke quickly added, "Don't even think about silencing me. The entire Ziyang Sect is practicing this cultivation technique. Even if you kill me, you can't keep it all to yourself."

Why should I believe you?

"You must have heard about how the Ziyang Sect recalled all its disciples."

That's true, and she also knows that the other five sects are secretly capturing Ziyang Sect disciples, seemingly trying to find out why.

"And then?" she asked quickly.

"Because this technique was spread by me, the higher-ups of the Ziyang Sect realized its extraordinary nature and did not want it to spread to other sects, so they urgently sealed it off throughout the sect."

"But they never expected that this was passed down from an outer disciple."

Jiang Xiyue pondered the matter carefully, trying to determine how credible the young man's words were.

Upon analysis, it seems that apart from what he said, it is difficult to find any other explanation.

So she hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll trust you this time for now. If I find out you've lied to me, you know the consequences."

"Of course I know, my life is in danger."

"But my biggest secret is this cultivation technique, and now that you have it, what else do I have to hide?"

"You're smart enough to know what's good for you." Jiang Xiyue chuckled, then flipped her hand to take out a jade bottle, poured out a pill, and stuffed it into Ma Ke's mouth without saying a word, making him swallow it.

"What you just ate was a Corpse Demon Pill. If you don't take the antidote in time, it can turn you into a walking corpse."

Ma Ke's expression immediately changed: "My lady, we are righteous people, how can we use such demonic methods?"

"Who said I'm on the righteous path?" Jiang Xiyue sneered.

"You..." Ma Ke was dumbfounded. Could this woman really be a witch?

But he quickly added, "The distinction between righteous and demonic paths is not determined by cultivation techniques or sects. Many so-called righteous cultivators are hypocritical, and their methods are no less ruthless than those of the demonic paths they speak of."

"If the fairy wanted to kill me, she would have done so long ago, and there would have been no need to make me eat any Corpse Fiend Pills. Moreover, she didn't make me suffer much, and she is much kinder than many righteous people I have met."

Jiang Xiyue nodded in deep agreement: "There are indeed many hypocrites in the righteous path."

"You're smart and sensible; people like that are more likely to live longer."

Ma Ke quickly replied, "I have always looked down on many righteous people, after all, I have seen them many times in the secret realm, so I feel no burden when I take their things."

"If a fairy leads me into the demonic sect, I am willing to sincerely join."

Jiang Xiyue was speechless for a moment, but she also felt that the boy was teachable.
