Qin Feng stood up and took a deep breath. The advancement in his realm had made his overall strength even greater.
He glanced around and saw the little girl lying on the ground, her breath faint, on the verge of death.
Qin Feng hurried forward, helped the little girl up, and then sensed her physical condition.
The little girl now had no strength left in her body, and her life force was rapidly disappearing. She would die completely before long.
The little girl opened her eyes and looked at Qin Feng, saying, "Big brother, I still have so many delicious things I haven't eaten. They are in different places in this world. I only heard about them. I originally planned to go to various places in this world to eat delicious food after this closed-door cultivation ended, but I never expected that this closed-door cultivation would be the end of my life. How about you try them for me? And then tell me how they taste."
Qin Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will fulfill this wish for you."
At this moment, Ye Shen also walked out of the room. She looked at Qin Feng and asked confusedly, "Why did that terrifying pressure come to us? Huh, who is this little girl?"
Ye Shen had never seen the little girl before, so she didn't know. Qin Feng didn't explain to her because he could sense that the little girl was about to die. He quickly bought a pill from the shop and placed it in the little girl's mouth, saying, "If you eat this, your pain will be lessened."
The little girl was obedient and swallowed the pill. Then her eyes became heavier, and she slowly closed them.
Ye Shen came to Qin Feng's side and asked doubtfully, "I feel she is very weak, and now she has no life force at all. Who exactly is she?"
Qin Feng said, "She is the Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect, the one whose strength has reached the Mahayana stage."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shen was very surprised. She asked doubtfully, "Such a little girl has such powerful strength? Did she use a special drug to revert to youth? Is she actually an old monster thousands of years old? This doesn't make sense. If she has Mahayana stage cultivation, why did she die inexplicably? Why did she come here to find you?"
Hearing Ye Shen's question, Qin Feng casually explained, "Because we went to an auction together before, and we have some acquaintance. This little girl is very pure, not some old monster, but a nine-year-old girl. As for why she died here, it's because her cultivation technique is quite peculiar. She dies once for every step she advances."
After saying this, Qin Feng bought a special coffin from the shop, placed the little girl inside, and then commanded his Red Alert soldiers to carry the coffin to a secluded place, dig a hole, and bury her.
Seeing Qin Feng's actions, Ye Shen was again very confused. She asked, "I feel the pill you just gave her seemed a bit unusual. The medicinal scent seemed to have a special energy. Were you planning to save her but failed?"
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "That's not the case. That pill is called the Gui Xi Pill. After eating it, all bodily functions will stop. She will die completely after three years, but within these three years, her body will not decay, and her meridians will remain normal. I gave her the Gui Xi Pill because I wanted to take a gamble and see if I could save this little girl's life."
Ye Shen asked doubtfully, "I can feel that her life force has completely disappeared. Even an immortal probably couldn't save her."
Qin Feng said, "Man proposes, God disposes. Who knows what will happen in the future? Our coming to this world was also impossible, yet it happened. Perhaps after our strength advances by leaps and bounds, we can find a way to bring this little girl back to life. She is also a pitiable person. If there's a chance to save her in the future, that would be best. Even if I can't save her, I've done my best. Alright, our immediate priority is to improve our strength, because I plan to go to the Extreme Desert in a month. You need to be mentally prepared. The environment there might be similar to the Savage World, filled with powerful monsters and dangerous elemental surroundings. We won't be able to cultivate peacefully there like we do here."
Hearing this, Ye Shen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely become your capable assistant this time and will never be a burden to you. After that terrifying pressure, my strength has advanced further. I feel I am getting closer to being on par with you, hahaha... Enough said, I'm going to cultivate now."
After speaking, Ye Shen walked into the room and continued to cultivate with a coral-like treasure. Qin Feng, however, was not pursuing the increase of his own strength at the moment; he wanted to build his Red Alert army into his most powerful protective force.
He had the Body Refining Art and Body Refining Pills, as well as countless Red Alert soldiers. He had the ability to do so.
Qin Feng continued to refine pills, and at the same time, he used his mind for three purposes: refining pills, commanding the Red Alert army to practice the Body Refining Art, and continuing to build barracks in his Red Alert domain to rapidly increase his wealth.
The little girl's passing made Qin Feng vigilant. If a Mahayana stage expert were to become his enemy, without a powerful protective force, he would surely die.
Qin Feng knew that cultivation could not be achieved overnight. He wanted to maximize the benefits of what he currently possessed, which was training the Red Alert army.
Thus, a day passed. When Qin Feng continued to refine pills on the second day, he felt a familiar power rapidly approaching him. This power belonged to Wang Feng, whom Qin Feng was very familiar with.
She had finally returned from Qingxi City.
Qin Feng took two steps forward and then looked up at the sky. Wang Feng had already appeared before him in a flash.
Seeing the person she missed dearly right before her eyes, a smile appeared on Wang Feng's face. She said, "It feels like years have passed. I miss you endlessly even if I don't see you for a day. Now that all the tasks you assigned me are completed, can I stay by your side?"
Qin Feng did not answer her but instead asked, "What is the situation with the Taishi Sect and the Immortal Venerable? After I left Qingxi City and went to the Southern Wilderness World, what was his deduction?"
Hearing this, Wang Feng smiled confidently and said, "After all of you returned to the Savage World, the Immortal Venerable's deduction was that the disaster had been eliminated. Therefore, he lost the bet with you, and he led the people of the Taishi Sect back. Originally, I should have returned to the Qing Xuan Sect to wait for you after they left, but you asked me to help you monitor the situation there until the teleportation array completely closed, so I didn't return. However, I did have some gains by moving around Qingxi City these past few days."
Hearing this, Qin Feng asked, "What gains?"
Wang Feng said, "That demonic branch that was eliminated by the Immortal Venerable seems to be making a comeback. They seem to have found new masters and are plotting something. I captured a few people and interrogated them carefully. They seem to know that you have many items they desire, so they plan to find you."
