Wild Dogs

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan nodded.

"Yes, I have now reached the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

"After taking some more Heavenly Spirit Pills, I should be able to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage."

Then she lowered her voice and looked at Yang Fan.

"Are you about to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment as well?"

Yang Fan nodded, but then he sighed.

"My meridian injuries haven't fully healed yet, so my focus should be on recuperating."

"It's estimated that it will take some time before we can break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage."

To be honest, the Heavenly Spirit Pill was quite effective, and Yang Fan's cultivation improved very smoothly.

Logically speaking, if he hadn't been injured, he should already be attempting to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, it was precisely because of his injuries that he was unable to break through to the next level.

Seeing this, Qi Peilan clapped her hands.

"I told you not to worry too much, the path of cultivation is about gradual progress."

"Your eagerness to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage will actually lead to an unstable foundation."

Yang Fan nodded in response to Qi Peilan's words.

However, seeing Qi Peilan chewing the Heavenly Spirit Pill like it was candy was quite a sight.

His brows furrowed.

"Isn't it a bit too wasteful of you to eat like this?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan glared at Yang Fan.

"What's the point of wasting such a precious resource? Pills are meant for human consumption."

"Although my way of eating is not elegant, the effect is quite good."

Yang Fan sighed.

"We agreed that this pill would be split in half, so why did you eat it all?"

"Don't worry about them eating my share later."

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan shook her head.

"Don't worry about that, I know what I'm doing."

Then she continued to chew the other pills in large gulps.

What a joke! Yang Fan usually wants to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pill.

It took a lot of effort to collect those medicinal herbs.

But now the situation is different; these medicinal herbs were bought by Yang Fan.

She didn't feel bad at all when she made it, and she felt perfectly at ease eating it.

Seeing this, Yang Fan shook his head, completely baffled by the woman.

Then his gaze shifted.

"By the way, hasn't your sect contacted you yet?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan's expression darkened somewhat.

"We left the Purple Spirit Sect in a very rushed manner this time."

"There weren't many people in the sect who knew our whereabouts to begin with."

"Besides, all the other senior brothers and sisters are dead, and I'm the only one who's alive."

"How could the sect possibly invest too much energy in me?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan shook his head.

"That's hard to say, you know they're all dead."

"But the people of your Purple Spirit Sect don't know that. When they look for other people, they might also look for you."

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan glared fiercely at Yang Fan.

"What kind of talk is that? What do you mean by 'just happened to come see me'? If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconcerned.

"I'm just telling the truth, but you don't want to hear it."

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan snorted coldly.

Since the two are now in a cooperative relationship, she doesn't need to give Yang Fan a friendly look.

After shifting her gaze, Qi Peilan looked to the side.

Then she lowered her voice and asked again.

"Yang Fan, what would you do if you were abandoned by the sect?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan was taken aback, then smiled slightly.

"So what if you abandoned me? You've abandoned me, so be it."

Then Yang Fan took another deep breath.

"Remember this: it's not that I was abandoned by the sect, it's that I abandoned the sect."

As Yang Fan spoke, he looked smugly at Qi Peilan beside him.

Upon seeing this, Qi Peilan couldn't help but chuckle.

"You really know how to find joy in hardship."

Taking a deep breath, Qi Peilan shook her head.

"You're most likely a rogue cultivator who just got lucky and received the inheritance of some powerful being."

"That's why cultivation is so easy. You don't know how tough it is to be a rogue cultivator."

"Only by joining a sect and sticking together can we obtain more cultivation resources."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan smiled slightly.

In fact, he has joined more than one or two sects.

After glancing at Yang Fan and seeing that he was just engrossed in his cultivation, Qi Peilan suddenly had a thought.

"If I introduce you to the Purple Spirit Sect, would you be willing to join our sect?"

Hearing this, Yang Fan looked at the other person with a strange expression.

"Is your Purple Spirit Sect really a legitimate sect?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"What do you mean by that? How is our sect being improper?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan realized that Qi Peilan must have misunderstood, and he quickly waved his hand.

"That's not what you meant. I meant that nine out of ten disciples in your Purple Spirit Sect are female, right?"

Yang Fan sized up Qi Peilan, recalling the dozen or so people from the Purple Spirit Sect who had flown over earlier.

He did see a few male cultivators inside, but their strength was relatively weak.

More importantly, the majority of these dozen or so people are female cultivators.

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan nodded slightly.

"You're right, our Purple Spirit Sect is indeed predominantly female cultivators."

"However, in addition to female cultivators, there is also a main peak that recruits some male cultivators."

"Of course, male cultivators cultivate a more diverse range of techniques, mainly focusing on physical skills and other things."

"Most of the cultivation techniques are still in our hands."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan shrugged.

"Fine, since your sect doesn't value male cultivators at all."

"If I go, wouldn't that be a waste of time? I might as well stay here and be a wandering cultivator."

After listening to Yang Fan's words, Qi Peilan thought about it carefully and found that what Yang Fan said made a lot of sense.

"Fine, if you're not willing, then forget it."

As Qi Peilan spoke, she stretched her limbs.

"Alright, I'll go hunt some more spirit beasts."

With that, Qi Peilan walked out of the cave and continued hunting spirit beasts.

Over the next few days, Yang Fan and Qi Peilan continued this routine. With the help of the Qingling Pill and Peiyuan Pill, Yang Fan finally recovered completely from his injuries.

At this moment, he began to consume Heavenly Spirit Pills without restraint, hoping to improve his cultivation level as quickly as possible.

However, it would be troublesome to improve his strength in a short period of time after being seriously injured. In order to avoid being too weak to recover, Yang Fan was very restrained and did not let the spiritual energy damage his meridians again.

After Yang Fan recovered from his injuries, Qi Peilan did not leave immediately, but patiently continued to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pill.

There was no other way; it wouldn't be easy to find so many medicinal herbs again after leaving Yang Fan.

For Qi Peilan, this would not only allow her to refine Heavenly Spirit Pills, but also improve her alchemy skills.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Peilan immediately immersed herself in the task.

And so, over the next few days, Qi Peilan patiently continued refining the Heavenly Spirit Pill until she had finished refining all the medicinal herbs that Yang Fan had bought before, and only then did she stop.
