 Yu Sanbian’s hearing was very keen, probably because it had not been used to see for a long time, and he could hear the sound of metal shing from a great distance away.<div>

 

 Following the path, there was a mountain cave up ahead, and the sounds of fighting wereing from inside.

 

 Li Xiaobai frowned, feeling that something about this ce was not right. Logically, the location from where the fighting sounds were emanating should have been on the outskirts of the cave, and all the treasures should have been taken by Ou Yezi. There shouldn’t be anything worth fighting over.

 

 Why would there be a fight in such a ce?<div>

 

 As everyone entered the cave, they found it somewhat dark inside. There was a faint red glow flickering, which seemed out of cepared to the pristine natural environment outside.

 

 “Was this also constructed by the Saint of the Confucian Path?”

 

 Li Xiaobai asked with a frown. Despite having read little, he could tell this ce was not in line with the Confucian Path at all; it wouldn’t be too much to say it was associated with the Demon Path.

 

 “Impudent ones, wanting to steal my treasure, go to hell!”

 

 A crazy roar came from inside the cave as several cultivators were fighting fiercely, killing one another.

 

 One of the cultivators was wielding a longsword, paying no heed to the injuries on his body, swinging wildly and chopping the surrounding cultivators to pieces.

 

 “Ha ha ha, they’re all dead, they’re all dead, the treasure is mine alone!”

 

 The cultivatorughed maniacally, seemingly in a frenzy, as he dropped his longsword and walked toward an empty space on the ground.

 

 He was rummaging through the air, as if searching for something.

 

 Li Xiaobai could see clearly that it was just an empty space; there was nothing but pebbles.

 

 “Is this fellow pitting his wits against thin air?”<div>

 Ji Wuqing was quite puzzled.

 

 “Brother Ji, this seems to be some kind of illusion. They are all trapped in an illusion, mistaking this ce for having treasures, and therefore killing for them. There must be something here that is disturbing their minds,”

 

 Yunkun exined timely. Since Ji Wuqing was Li Xiaobai’s pet, he was also someone Yunkun wanted to please.

 

 “Such trifles of illusion, I have never taken them to heart.” Ji Wuqing felt ttered by the deference shown by Yunkun.

 

 “No, I smell the scent of Flesh Mountain,” Yu Sanbian’s nose twitched.

 

 “This is Demonic Qi, which has the power to erode the minds of people. If we stay here for too long, we will also be affected,” said Little Monk Liaowang.

 

 “Are you also here to steal my treasure?”

 

 “Die!”

 

 Hearing the conversation of the group, the cultivator clutched a stone tightly to his chest.

 

 Bending down to pick up the longsword, he charged toward Li Xiaobai’s position with a loud shout, his eyes crimson and his face ferocious.

 

 Monk Liaowang’s expression changed, fearing that Li Xiaobai might react. He swiftly intercepted the cultivator, forming a hand seal that enveloped him in a faint golden halo. The cultivator’s crimson eyes slowly closed, and he fainted.<div>

 

 “Amitabha, this person’s mind has been overtaken by Demonic Qi. He must be sent out quickly,” Liaowang said.

 

 “No need for that trouble; nothing cannot be resolved with a single Huazi,” Li Xiaobai said lightly, taking out a Huazi, lighting it up, and cing it in the cultivator’s mouth. A few breathster, the cultivator coughed violently and took a deep inhale of the Huazi, slowlying to.

 

 “Cough cough, what happened?”

 

 “It was me, I killed them all!”

 

 The cultivator regained his senses, dropping the stone in his hand, and looked at the corpses on the ground in panic.

 

 “Lucky one, tell us what exactly happened here. Why did you all suddenly be so frenzied?” Li Xiaobai asked.

 

 “My fellow disciples and I followed the leaders into this ce. At first, there was nothing wrong, but gradually someone here lost their mind and became extremely violent. The leaders also became aware that this ce was not safe to stay long, and they wanted to find the treasure quickly and then leave.”

 

 “Where are they then?”

 

 “They should still be deep inside the cave.”

 

 “I saved your life, so it’s not too much to ask for some reward, is it?” Li Xiaobai asked with a smile.

 

 “Not at all, this life was saved by young master, here in this Space Ring is all my belongings, I entrust them to you, may I ask for your esteemed name?”<div>

 

 “Li Xiaobai, happy to help.”

 

 The cultivator nodded, willingly handed over the Space Ring, and then fled the cave without looking back.

 

 Li Xiaobai took inventory and nodded in satisfaction, noting that there were quite a few good things inside the ring; worthy of a cultivator seeking treasure, his foundation was solid.

 

 “So this Huazi actually has such a function, if we wait here, we might be invincible.”

 

 Yu Sanbian lit a Huazi and said calmly.

 

 Everyone agreed, puffing smoke, unaffected by the Demonic Qi invading their minds.

 

 “Master Li, saving a life is worth more than building a seven-level pagoda; we can use these Huazi to rescue everyone in this cave, what do you think?” Monk Liaowang asked.

 

 “You’re right, saving a life is worth more than building a seven-level pagoda. Today, many cultivators are in trouble, and I, Li Xiaobai, who loves to help, must rescue them from their misery!”

 

 Li Xiaobai patted his chest, filled with heroic spirit.

 

 Monk Liaowang felt a bit unsure inside, as his experience suggested that Li Xiaobai was definitely up to something.

 

 …

 

 The group continued on their way, with Huazi on hand there was no worry of losing their minds, and several captives also turned misfortune into a blessing; swallowing some Huazi, they felt their cultivation levels and understanding of Cultivation Techniques had improved beyond their previous state.

 

 In just a few breaths’ time, they had saved at least half a month of arduous cultivation. These Huazi truly were miraculous!

 

 In that moment, they secretly wished they could stay by Li Xiaobai’s side indefinitely.

 

 Along the way, all the cultivators they encountered were in a state of mental disarray, acting insanely.

 

 Some were hacking at each other with knives, others were matching wits with the air, looking very abnormal.

 

 Li Xiaobai’s eyes lit up as he stepped forward to block the attacks of the cultivators, inserting Huazi into their mouths; their eyes gradually became confused as their consciousness began to slowly return.

 

 Taking advantage of their dazed state, Li Xiaobai very considerately relieved them of their Space Rings.

 

 He drew his Longsword and left a message on the ground.

 

 “Li Xiaobai, happy to help, no need to thank me. Your payment for life has been automatically processed, please leave early.”

 

 Monk Liaowang’s expression darkened, he knew this guy was going to pull something; what was a noble act of saving people turned into a money-making opportunity in his hands, no wonder he was so proactive all the way. He really didn’t know what to say.

 

 But in the end, they did save lives, and naturally, life was more important than wealth.

 

 As they delved deeper into the cave, they encountered more cultivators, and the cultivation levels kept getting higher.

 

 Li Xiaobai stuck to the script, first checking everyone’s ount bnce, then saving them, and finally, automatic payment.

 

 The whole process was smooth as flowing water; in his words, that was the mark of true professionalism.

 

 It was then that a battlefield appeared before them once again, but this time, the one surrounded was a woman.

 

 She was dressed in a ck skirt, her long legs constantly dodging, her sexy red lips slightly pursed, and her alluring eyes like silk.

 

 “People of the Demon Sect, a Demonic Woman, everyone has the right to execute her!”

 

 “Seems like having a bit of fun first is okay, right? After all, there’s no one else here, no one will know, hehe…”
