Shi Ling quickly stood up and took off the few clothes on his body to make a simple package. After that, he found a stone with a sharp blade to harvest the orchid fragrance.

Originally, Shi Ling prepared the collection tools before he came out. However, after he fell off the cliff, those things disappeared. Now, it was impossible to find them. He could only take the materials on the spot.

After a quarter of an hour, Shi Ling had already collected all the Faint Orchid Fragrance, and he carried it on his back. Along the way, Shi Ling counted: two hundred and thirty of them.

Thinking about this, Shi Ling couldn't help but to giggle foolishly. He immediately walked out of the cave and looked at the vast mountains outside. If Shi Ling searched aimlessly by himself, he estimated that he wouldn't be able to find his way back until next year.

At this moment, Shi Ling squatted down and took out a firework from his shoes. He stuck it into the ground and used two stones to fire it.

With a swooshing sound, the firework instantly soared into the sky and exploded in midair, creating a red mist.

Shi Ling raised his head to look at the red fog and muttered to himself, "It's okay, I hid the signal flare in my shoes when I came out. That's why I didn't lose my bag, otherwise, it would really be troublesome. Now, I just hope that the sect's people can find us here as soon as possible."

Of course, Shi Ling couldn't just sit there like that. Since Shi Ling had already reached the first level of the Refinement Realm, he definitely hoped that his strength would increase by another level, so naturally, he had to seize every minute and every second to train.

Immediately, Shi Ling's Lunar Level Spiritual Pulse started to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside world. Although the Lunar Level Spiritual Pulse was the lowest level of all Spiritual Pulses, it was not slow when absorbed at a place with such abundant Spiritual Qi.

Very quickly, streams of milky white spiritual energy entered Shi Ling's moon shaped spirit vein and entered his whirlpool, causing the circulation speed of the whirlpool to increase. At the same time, a very ingenious change happened to Shi Ling's body.

He could smell the remnants of the snake meat that he had smelled in the cave yesterday. He could hear the chirping of birds that was miles away, and even his vision had improved by a lot due to the nourishment of the spiritual energy.

After Shi Ling entered his cultivation state, although he looked like he was sitting still, he had actually released his senses to their maximum. Once an unknown factor approached him, he would wake up in the shortest amount of time.

Time flew by at this moment, and very soon, six hours had passed. Suddenly, the sound of soft footsteps entered Shi Ling's ears, causing Shi Ling, who was sitting cross-legged, to open his eyes. Soon, he saw two figures rushing over from the distance.

When Loong Yang saw Shi Ling, he was instantly overjoyed and quickened his pace. After arriving in front of Shi Ling, he sized him up once more.

At this time, Shi Ling stood up, looked at Loong Yang and said, "What's wrong? You don't know him? "

As he said that, he punched Loong Yang on the shoulder. Loong Yang immediately reacted and said in surprise, "Shi Ling, it's really you?"

Shi Ling sneered and said, "Are you stupid?"

Loong Yang said in disbelief, "That shouldn't be the case! You fell off the cliff, how are you completely fine? "

Shi Ling rolled his eyes and said, "Do you really want something to happen to me?"

However, Loong Yang nodded and then shook his head. He immediately reached out his hand and poked Shi Ling's body, as if he was trying to confirm if Shi Ling was an imposter.

When Shi Ling saw this, the corner of his eye twitched as if he couldn't stand this guy anymore. Then, Shi Ling threw a punch directly at Loong Yang's face.

Loong Yang was instantly stunned by Shi Ling's attack. However, it was also because of this that he excitedly said: "Shi Ling, it really is you!"

Saying that, he directly charged towards Shi Ling, placed one hand on Shi Ling's neck, and also punched Shi Ling. The strength of this punch was not small, it forced Shi Ling to retreat, and Shi Ling's face revealed a hoarse expression.

It was always the same when Shi Ling and Loong Yang greeted each other. They would first throw a punch and then say, in Loong Yang's words, the relationship between brothers is always fought out.

Seeing this scene in the eyes of the senior brother that came with Loong Yang, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that the two people in front of him were just like children who liked to play around.

But very quickly, the two of them stopped messing around. Shi Ling roughly described how he fell off the cliff. Of course, he avoided the matter with the mysterious old man.

It wasn't because Shi Ling didn't believe Loong Yang, but because no one would believe him even if he told them about it.

There was also the matter of Shi Ling finding hundreds of purple orchids in the cave, but he didn't say it because there was an outsider on the side. Although he didn't know what the other party was like, but it was unknown whether it was beneficial or not, so Shi Ling planned to give some to Loong Yang after returning safely.

As they walked, they were talking and laughing. However, as time passed, the sweat on Shi Ling's forehead started to drip down in large droplets. He was still breathing heavily.

Loong Yang naturally noticed this. He looked at the black thing on Shi Ling's back and thought it was a coffin at first glance. After a closer inspection, he realized it was actually a black broadsword made of wood.

Although it was made of wood, it gave people a feeling of metal. Especially when Shi Ling was tired and gasping for breath due to the broadsword.

At that moment, Loong Yang asked in confusion, "Shi Ling, where did you get that broadsword from?"

When he saw Shi Ling, he also revealed the same doubts, but since he wasn't close with Shi Ling, he couldn't ask directly. Now that he heard Loong Yang talk about it, he naturally wanted to hear it.

Shi Ling took down the Black Wood Sword and stabbed it into the ground. He sat down on the ground. At this moment, he was sweating profusely and said: "I picked it up!"

Even though Shi Ling had the physical strength of two bulls, he couldn't afford to waste more than two hours of it, let alone the fact that he was on a mountain path.

Seeing that Shi Ling had stopped, Loong Yang said to the Senior Martial Brother, "Senior Martial Brother, let's rest for a while. After walking for so long, I think you must be tired, right?"

The senior brother nodded and then sat down beside Shi Ling. He looked at the Black Wood Sword and realized that besides being large and heavy, there was nothing special about this broadsword. The question was, why did Shi Ling keep carrying useless things? Couldn't he just find a random spot and leave it there?

The senior brother said, "Junior Brother Shi Ling, your sword is quite strange. I just can't see any place that is worth such a long journey."

Shi Ling smiled and said: "Brother, you don't know, this sword could be counted as my savior. If it wasn't for it, I would have died a long time ago."

The senior brother said, "Oh, I would like to hear the details."

Shi Ling told him about the origin of the Black Wood Sword that he obtained. That senior brother immediately revealed a suspicious look, while Loong Yang secretly clucked his tongue at Shi Ling's experience and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Shi Ling immediately asked, "Senior Brother, from your point of view, if you take this thing back to the sect, can you exchange it for one and a half taels of silver?"

That Senior Martial Brother revealed a thoughtful expression as he shook his head and said, "That's hard to say. If you don't suggest, can I give it a try?"

Shi Ling made a "please" gesture, and the senior brother immediately stood up, walked to the Black Wood Sword's side, stretched out his hand and grabbed the sword hilt, attempting to pull it out from the ground.

However, what made the senior brother feel awkward was that even with all his strength, he was unable to move the sword in the slightest. It was as if the sword had fused with the earth.

His strength had also reached the second level of the Body Refinement Realm, Spirit Accumulation. Although his physical strength was not very great, with the assistance of spirit energy, his strength was not small. Even so, he was unable to move his strength by even a little.

The senior turned his head towards Shi Ling and said, "Junior Brother Shi Ling, I think your sword is too deep. You can't even pull it out now."

Shi Ling exclaimed and said, "Ah, that can't be. I just casually inserted it into the ground. It shouldn't be very deep."

The senior waved his hand and said, "Try it yourself."

At this moment, he could only say that Shi Ling had stuck the sword too deep into the ground in order to ease his embarrassment. Otherwise, in front of his two junior brothers, this senior of his would lose too much face, of course, he wouldn't think that Shi Ling could pull it out.

However, the next scene caused him to be dumbstruck, Shi Ling held onto the sword hilt with one hand and pulled it out with force. Immediately after, the Black Wood Sword was pulled out from the ground.

At this moment, Loong Yang's eyes were wide open as he saw Shi Ling brandishing the Black Wood Sword in his hand and then looking towards the senior brother as he said: "Senior brother, it's not that the sword is too deep, but the sword itself is a bit heavy, so it requires some effort to pull it out."

When the senior heard this, he coughed dryly and laughed, "So that's how it is."

At this time, Shi Ling walked over again and said: "Do you still want to try now?"

Hearing this, the Senior Martial Brother paused for a moment. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Sure, let me take a look."

As he said that, he reached out his "one hand" to receive it, and Shi Ling handed it over.

However, the moment Shi Ling's hand was released, the senior brother felt a huge force attacking him, causing the Black Wood Sword in his hand to fall onto the ground.

Immediately, dust filled the air and the ground trembled. A lot of leaves fell from the surrounding trees, and the birds on the branches flew up into the air.

This scene shocked Loong Yang and that senior brother of his. He was thinking, "Isn't this too damn heavy?" How could he take it?

That senior brother's expression was especially marvelous as he looked at Shi Ling in a daze and said, "About that, Junior Brother Shi Ling, can I know how strong your physical body is right now?"

The senior brother had already guessed that if his cultivation base wasn't high enough, then it was likely that his physical body was extremely powerful to be able to carry such a heavy object on his back for another two hours. He couldn't think of anything else.

Shi Ling smiled and stretched out two fingers: "The strength of two raging bulls!"

When those words were said, that senior brother and Loong Yang's eyes immediately opened wide, and the expression on their faces was as wonderful as it could get.

Loong Yang arrived beside Shi Ling with a surprised expression on his face and sized up Shi Ling from head to toe. "The strength of two raging bulls?!" A few days ago, when he was still in the sect, Yan Wuping said that your physical strength had reached the strength of a raging bull. Why did you reach the strength of two raging bulls in just a few days?

Shi Ling shrugged and said, "I don't know either."

After that, Shi Ling looked at the senior brother and said, "Oh right, Senior Brother, how much do you think I can exchange this wooden sword back to the sect?"

The senior brother looked at his hands, and saw that they were already completely red. When he pulled out the sword, he was unable to move, which caused his skin to rub so heavily against each other, causing his hands to become very red.

That senior brother couldn't help but twitch his eyelids and said, "You want to exchange something like that for money? "Junior Brother Shi Ling, it's not that Senior Brother is trying to beat you up, but even if you give this to him for free, he wouldn't want it."

At this time, Loong Yang also walked over to try and lift the Black Wood Sword, but in the end, he was no different from the senior. He also calmly said: "Yes, Shi Ling, I'm afraid all the disciples from Spirit Sword Sect have swords that are not as heavy as your sword, how is this even a wooden sword, it's not heavy at all, other than it's really heavy and heavy, there's nothing special about it at all. Rather than tiring and carrying it back to the sect, you might as well throw it away."

Since the two of them had said it like that, then the sword would be useless. Shi Ling could not help but sigh and said: "Okay, but I still don't want to throw it away and use it for myself. Even if I can't use it as a sword, it would be better to use it as a support for the house."

With that, he hoisted the Black Wood Sword up again and carried it on his back. "Alright, we've rested enough. It's time for us to leave."

As he spoke, he took the lead to walk out. Loong Yang and that senior also stood up and set off on their journey.
