Qin Feng knew that Ye Shen's solo challenge against the monster this time was not a whim. The other party was already feeling a bit embarrassed to keep relying on his favor.
Ye Shen's objective in killing monsters was likely to obtain some money, which would allow her to buy enough spirit stones in the cultivation world, or even purchase what she desired at auctions.
Although Qin Feng had no concept of money due to his infinite replication ability, money was exceptionally precious to Ye Shen. It represented strength and confidence!
If Qin Feng directly gifted money to Ye Shen, she would feel extremely uncomfortable and indebted to him. This would be detrimental to Ye Shen and their relationship. It was better for her to go out and gain experience. After all, with Ye Shen's capabilities, she was more than capable of dealing with ordinary monsters. Even encountering commander-level monsters would not be an issue, and she even possessed the ability to fight against overlord-level monsters.
Her Golden Core stage cultivation was already very strong in this world. Few people could reach such a high level of power, so he didn't need to worry too much. Even if she encountered danger, he could be notified immediately through the chat panel and rush to her rescue.
For now, he had to guard this cave to ensure no one traversed between the two worlds through the teleportation array.
However, just waiting was quite boring. Qin Feng took out the alchemy furnace from his storage ring and decided to refine a few batches of pills during this time. Simultaneously, he continued to expand the strength of his Red Alert domain in his mind. He now had dozens of barracks, significantly increasing the speed of troop deployment and the rate at which money increased. His money was growing almost every second.
Yet, Qin Feng was not satisfied with this speed. He needed to increase the rate of money accumulation even further to be able to purchase legendary equipment.
Thus, not long after, Qin Feng heard a notification in his mind.
[Ding... Congratulations, your team has killed one ordinary monster. You have gained 100 experience and 50 gold coins.]
[Ding... Congratulations, your team has killed one ordinary monster. You have gained 80 experience and 40 gold coins.]
Seeing these notifications, Qin Feng knew that Ye Shen was slaughtering ordinary monsters. He was quite satisfied with this pace. Ye Shen, having just reached the Golden Core stage, was already too powerful for monsters to resist. Ordinary monsters were instantly killed upon encountering her.
Not long after, Qin Feng heard another notification in his mind.
[Ding... Congratulations, your team has killed one commander-level monster. You have gained 300 experience and 400 gold coins.]
Qin Feng was not surprised by this notification. With Ye Shen's strength, dealing with commander-level monsters was not a problem. However, he was a little worried. If killing commander-level monsters went too smoothly, Ye Shen might go on to challenge overlord-level monsters, which were already at the limit of her current strength.
She did not possess items or techniques like the Peerless Good Sword or the Sword Control Art that greatly enhanced combat power. If she encountered a powerful overlord-level monster, she could be in danger. Therefore, Qin Feng privately messaged Ye Shen in his mind, saying, "It's better to kill some ordinary monsters. Commander-level and overlord-level monsters carry some risk. Be careful."
Not long after, Ye Shen replied, "I know, don't worry, I have it under control."
Seeing this, Qin Feng stopped persuading her and continued refining pills. However, after a short while, a notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding... Congratulations, your team has killed one overlord-level monster. You have gained 800 experience and 2000 gold coins.]
Seeing this notification, Qin Feng quickly messaged Ye Shen, saying, "Are you alright? Overlord-level monsters are already your limit. You don't have suitable weapons and equipment right now. Don't easily challenge overlord-level monsters, or you might encounter danger."
Not long after, Ye Shen replied, "Who says I don't have my own weapons and equipment? Did you forget? I have an S-grade item, and you gave it to me!"
Hearing this, Qin Feng remembered. Ye Shen was indeed wearing an S-grade item, a bracelet that could summon a fierce ghost. This item was very magical but also carried some danger for the user.
Therefore, Qin Feng said, "That item is too sinister. We are cultivators. Using such things will be detrimental to our future! You've killed many monsters, gaining a lot of money, experience, and treasure chests. Don't continue challenging high-level monsters, and don't use that bracelet anymore. I have many weapons and equipment here, items of various levels. You can choose one. It's better not to use such sinister things."
Ye Shen replied, "I know. I'll head back now. However, this bracelet isn't as sinister as you say. On the contrary, I feel a bit of sympathy for this fierce ghost. That's all, I'll clean up the battlefield and head back."
This time, Ye Shen's gains were very rich. A long-lost smile appeared on her face. During this period, Qin Feng's entanglement with Wang Feng had made her very angry. More importantly, Wang Feng had mocked her multiple times, making her feel ashamed. Now, she had the capital to kill monsters and had money. In that world, her cultivation would improve very quickly. It wouldn't be long before she surpassed Wang Feng's cultivation.
Thinking of this, she became happy.
She could finally control her own destiny through her own strength. This happiness made Ye Shen smile sweetly.
Ye Shen's appearance was already top-notch. With this smile, Qin Feng was also stunned. He also became happy and said to Ye Shen, "Why are you so happy? Did you open something amazing from a treasure chest?"
Ye Shen shook her head and said, "The items opened from the treasure chests were all ordinary, but in that world, these things are very valuable. And this time, the gains were very rich. I've obtained a lot of money again. This way, I can exchange it for many spirit stones to cultivate there. It won't be long before I can catch up to your realm, hahaha... In the future, the team we form will be even more formidable, and we can challenge even stronger monsters. It won't be long before we both become immortals and return to our original world. If we are both immortals and can return to our original world, won't we be able to do as we please? Just thinking about it makes me happy!"
Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded, but he couldn't help but pour cold water on her enthusiasm. He said, "With our current cultivation, it will take a long time to become immortals. Even in that cultivation world with abundant resources, it won't be accomplished overnight. It might even take hundreds of years of cultivation. Are you prepared for that?"
Ye Shen nodded and said, "Of course. However, time passes very quickly during cultivation. Perhaps a hundred years will feel like the blink of an eye to us, hahaha... With resources, cultivation also becomes a happy thing!"
Feeling her happiness, Qin Feng was also happy. He didn't say anything more and focused on refining pills while expanding his Red Alert domain's money-making capabilities.
Thus, three days passed unknowingly. When the teleportation array was about to close, Qin Feng and Ye Shen packed their belongings and stood between the teleportation arrays again. With a flash of white light, they disappeared from the cave.
When they regained their senses, they had already arrived within the Qing Xuan Sect.
This was exactly the same as the first time they teleported from the cave to the cultivation world.
The location they were in was also the same.
