Li Qinghai was heartbroken and distressed.

For him, improving his strength was undoubtedly a major obstacle in his rebirth.

He had to die quickly, or he felt that the longer he delayed, the more complicated things would become.

Before that, he needed to get rid of Wang Dafu to prevent him from ruining his plans for death.

"By the way, Senior Brother Wang, what brings you here to see me?"

"I noticed that Junior Brother Li didn't come to Morning Cultivation Mountain today, so I came to check on you."

"I see, I just woke up and missed the cultivation time."

"…"

Wang Dafu was speechless and envious.

Look at that, the benefits of having someone to rely on.

So lazy, yet still improving so quickly.

He wondered how many pills and spirit stones Elder Jian Jiu had left for Li Qinghai.

Wang Dafu instinctively felt that Li Qinghai's rapid progress must be due to the many cultivation resources Jian Jiu had left for him.

Since that was the case, he definitely had to cling tightly to Li Qinghai.

Wang Dafu blinked and asked a question.

"Junior Brother Li, did Elder Jian Jiu give you any techniques or magic artifacts to use?"

"No, he didn't," Li Qinghai answered truthfully.

Wang Dafu's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together, "Junior Brother Li, you're already a Qi Refining cultivator. How can you go without suitable techniques or magic artifacts? I'm willing to accompany you to choose some. I hope you'll reward me with a few spirit stones for my hard work."

Li Qinghai was taken aback, "But I don't have any spirit stones."

Wang Dafu was dumbfounded, "You really don't have any spirit stones?"

"Really, I don't."

Wang Dafu stared intently, "Really none?"

"Really none."

Wang Dafu couldn't believe it, "How could you not have any spirit stones?"

"Oh, I remember now, I do have a spirit stone." Li Qinghai took out a spirit stone from his pocket, "This spirit stone was given when I joined the sect. I forgot about it until you mentioned it."

"…"

Wang Dafu's face twitched. One spirit stone was useless; he didn't want to speak anymore.

But no matter what, Wang Dafu refused to believe this was true.

He was silent for a moment, still unwilling to give up, and asked again.

"Junior Brother Li, didn't Elder Jian Jiu give you some spirit stones for daily expenses?"

Li Qinghai shook his head, "No, Elder Jian Jiu told me to be self-reliant and to cultivate through my own efforts."

After speaking, Li Qinghai looked expectantly at Wang Dafu, "Senior Brother Wang, you mentioned taking me to choose something? Are you going to give me a magic artifact?"

"Ahem…" Wang Dafu coughed lightly.

"I suddenly remembered I have some matters to attend to, and I probably won't have time to accompany you to choose. Next time, when there's a chance, I'll definitely go with you."

After saying this, Wang Dafu quickly turned and ran.

He wouldn't engage in a losing deal.

Watching Wang Dafu's retreating figure, Li Qinghai's lips curled slightly.

His actions just now were all an act.

The purpose was, of course, to drive Wang Dafu away.

Otherwise, if Wang Dafu followed him, he would undoubtedly be a stumbling block on his path to rebirth.

Great.

Now, no one could stop him from courting death.

Li Qinghai regained his confidence and strode out the door.

However, Li Qinghai didn't notice that as he stepped out, a circle of light flickered faintly beneath his feet.

This was a talisman Liu Yaoyao had buried underground in advance.

With this talisman, every time Li Qinghai left the Green Bamboo Residence, Liu Yaoyao could sense it immediately.

This way, Liu Yaoyao could secretly observe in time and not miss any interesting events.

Moments later.

Liu Yaoyao, who loved to watch the drama unfold, hurried over.

She finally caught up with Li Qinghai.

When she saw Li Qinghai, her small mouth opened slightly in surprise.

"Li Qinghai, he's... already at the second level of Qi Refining?"

Liu Yaoyao remembered that when she secretly gave Li Qinghai the technique yesterday, he was still an ordinary person without any Qi Condensation.

In just one day, he had reached the second level of Qi Refining?!

This cultivation speed seemed even more outrageous than hers.

She herself was currently at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Although she was only six years old, she had actually been cultivating for six years.

According to Liu Daoyuan, she had some kind of pure spiritual constitution, able to attract spiritual energy into her body and cleanse her physique from birth.

It took her a month to reach the first level of Qi Refining.

The second level of Qi Refining was achieved when she was three months old.

Now, looking at Li Qinghai, he reached the second level of Qi Refining in just one day.

Wasn't he much more impressive than her?

But the question was, how did Li Qinghai cultivate?

Liu Yaoyao knew Li Qinghai's background; she knew Jian Jiu hadn't given him any cultivation resources.

That meant Li Qinghai had succeeded in cultivating solely with the technique she gave him yesterday.

Liu Yaoyao pouted and muttered.

"Father is too biased, giving such a good technique to him and not letting me cultivate with it. I'll have to ask Father for it when I get home."

Li Qinghai didn't notice someone following him. He headed west, solely focused on how to court death.

To the west, there was a Monster Beast Mountain Range.

The daily routine for many outer disciples was to cultivate, farm, and fight monsters.

Of course, ordinary outer disciples were mere cannon fodder when it came to fighting monsters.

To enter the Monster Beast Mountain Range, a disciple had to be at least at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Li Qinghai was clear about his plan. Those disciples at the fifth level of Qi Refining were all strong.

As long as he timed it right, getting killed by them would be easy.

The thought of dying soon made Li Qinghai's heart race with excitement.

However, the Monster Beast Mountain Range was quite far, and it took Li Qinghai one or two hours to reach the edge.

Li Qinghai looked at the dense forest ahead, panting heavily.

"Sigh, if only I had learned sword flight or something, this map is too big, and my feet are sore from walking."

Li Qinghai pounded his heavy legs, even considering lying down for a nap.

But the thought of death beckoning him filled him with energy.

Charge!

My heart for the Dao is unbreakable!

Li Qinghai wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued forward with large strides.

Following behind, Liu Yaoyao saw Li Qinghai entering the Monster Beast Mountain Range, her little head filled with big question marks.

She couldn't understand why Li Qinghai was here.

Was he sympathizing with the monsters for being hungry and cold, offering himself as their lunch?

Liu Yaoyao shook her head and flew to a large tree ahead, closely following Li Qinghai.

After all, this place was extremely dangerous for Li Qinghai.

If he wasn't careful, Li Qinghai might be swallowed whole by a monster.

By then, she might have to step in and save him.
