Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

As she opened the porcelain bottle, a shimmering light rose from its mouth. Even a single ray was enough to shake one's very soul.

Bai Xiaobai was a little confused. Was this really a low-grade spiritual liquid?

Why does it feel even more potent than the two drops that Snake Father gave her to drink before?

Forget it, whether it's high-grade, low-grade, or top-grade, as long as it's beneficial to her cultivation, that's fine.

She swallowed hard, then slowly dripped two drops of the spiritual liquid into her mouth.

As the spiritual liquid entered her throat, the next instant, she felt a warm and powerful spiritual force explode from her dantian and then slowly flow to her limbs and bones.

With the help of the spiritual spring, she only felt a tingling sensation all over her body and her meridians swelled slightly, but she did not feel any pain.

In short, everything went smoothly, and I felt no unusual symptoms; on the contrary, I felt warm and comfortable.

Seeing that Bai Xiaobai was perfectly normal, Shen Ji set up a barrier above the spiritual spring.

Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but speak up.

"Master, why did you lie to Xiaobai? That was clearly top-grade spiritual liquid. Also, the seal within your body seems to have loosened, and now the spiritual spring has been exposed. What if your aura is leaked and those people notice?"

Upon hearing what Xiao Qi said, Shen Ji gently raised his palm.

Upon seeing the black moon mark appear in his palm, his handsome brows furrowed.

After a moment of silence, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Little Seven, it seems we'll soon be facing another period of escape. But at least before we leave, as their master, I need to make sure they have some means to protect themselves."

Xiao Qi didn't understand, because his master was never so indecisive before.

"But Master, I don't understand. The seal within you won't last long, so why waste time on these disciples? As long as we leave Tianyan Continent now, those people definitely won't be able to detect your presence."

Seeing the confusion on Xiao Qi's handsome face, Shen Ji gently patted his shoulder.

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This seal can hold for another hundred years. After that, we'll leave the Tianyan Continent. These next few days, you'll be Xiaobai's sparring partner. The little one has a special constitution; she can't retain her spiritual energy. It's possible that the spiritual energy has transferred to other locations, or perhaps she also has a spiritual space. But these are just my guesses; we'll have to wait and see."

Upon hearing the word "divine consciousness space," Xiao Qi's eyes widened in surprise.

But how could a demon at the first level of Qi Refining possibly have a spiritual space?

He looked down at Bai Xiaobai in the spiritual spring, filled with curiosity about his master's newly acquired disciple.

But at the same time, I was also worried.

Can the seal on his master really last another hundred years?

Shen Ji stretched and yawned, a gentle smile on his lips as always.

"Xiao Qi, keep an eye on the time. She can only soak for a maximum of two hours each day."

Although Xiaoqi was worried, she could only nod in response.

"I understand, Master. Don't worry, Xiaoqi will take good care of Xiaobai."

"Then we'll have to trouble our little Qi."

Watching Shen Ji's figure disappear behind the waterfall, Xiao Qi's expression instantly turned serious.

He didn't know if his master's decision was right or wrong, but no matter what, he would do everything in his power to protect his master.

This time, he would make sure his master was never found by those people again, no matter what.

As for these disciples who are holding their master back, they must be made to become stronger as soon as possible.

Only in this way can their master leave sooner.

Having made up her mind, Xiao Qi stared at Bai Xiaobai soaking in the spiritual spring and began her sparring plan.

......

For the next two weeks, Bai Xiaobai experienced the extreme sensations of going from heaven to hell every single day.

As for paradise, it is naturally two hours spent drinking the elixir of the sacred spring and taking a wonderful bath.

As for hell, that is what she is experiencing now.

"Little...Little Seven, you...you've been chasing me for half a month straight, can't you just...can't you just stop? Do you even know what a sparring partner is? Master made you his sparring partner, not someone to hunt me down like an enemy."

Xiao Qi carried a heavy sword almost as tall as himself, its dark blade gleaming faintly. The heavy weapon dragged on the ground, scraping against the sand and gravel with a soft, grinding sound.

"You're too weak, I have to make you stronger as soon as possible."

Bai Xiaobai was on the verge of tears.

She wants to become stronger too, but even if she wants to become stronger, there's no need to do it this way.

This isn't about making yourself stronger; it's clearly a hunt.

If she knew that Xiao Qi's human form was even more terrifying than his original form, she would rather be chased and bitten by a giant crocodile than be chased and hacked by him with a big knife.

Moreover, the master who clearly said he would accompany him in cultivation disappeared without a trace after watching him cry and scream in agony as he was chased down every day.

Ahhhhh!

She's going crazy.

For the past two weeks, she has felt like each day was an eternity, and her days have been more bitter than eating bitter herbs.

"Hey, big crocodile, if you keep doing this... if you keep doing this, I won't be polite. Let me tell you, my lightning blade isn't something to be trifled with, you... please stop cutting me, okay?"

"Brother, we don't have any grudge against each other, do we? Why are you taking it so seriously?"

"Xiao Qi, my dear brother, please spare me, I really can't run anymore."

"You dead crocodile, you stinky crocodile, once I recover, I'll definitely chop you to a crisp."

"Next time I'll make Master roast your thigh, you bastard! You have no mercy at all, don't you? You even ate my roasted meat."

"..."

Xiao Qi remained unmoved by Bai Xiaobai's pleas for mercy and angry curses.

He only had one thought in his mind right now.

Bai Xiaobai's strength equals the safety of his master.

Therefore, she must become stronger as soon as possible.

No matter what method is used.

Only when she becomes truly powerful will her master not be held back.

Seeing that her pleas for mercy were of no use, Bai Xiaobai became angry.

She is now skilled at condensing lightning blades. With a crackling sound of lightning breaking through the air, several silver-white lightning blades struck the ground where Xiao Qi had just stood, instantly splitting the hard bluestone into small fragments.

Xiao Qi's eyebrows and eyes remained perfectly still, and even the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

This attack was completely insignificant to him.

So he was going to give Bai Xiaobai something to see.

Taking advantage of the moment when the lightning blade exploded upon landing, he twisted his waist and slid several feet away, his body brushing against the afterimage of the lightning. He then suddenly swung the heavy sword with one hand.

hum-

The deep clang of the blade reverberated across the land, and the heavy wind from the blade whipped up a howling gale, dispersing the surrounding aura of lightning.

Using the momentum of his forward charge, he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, raised the broadsword high, and slashed it down fiercely towards Bai Xiaobai.

Bai Xiaobai was almost scared to tears and could only run away in a panic, shouting "Master, save me!" again.

Fortunately, Shen Ji really came this time.
