C5 Exploring the Flame Domain

"If you stay by my side, I promise that you will be the only one I will protect for the rest of my life." Lichen promised, his eyes filled with affection for Su Pingwei.

"I only love him." Su Pingwei naturally saw Lichen's affection, but she could not give him a reply, nor could she give him hope, because she could not love another person.

After saying that, Su Pingwei disappeared in front of Lichen. Su Pingwei hid in the space and did not come out. In order to not let her thoughts run wild, Su Pingwei sat down cross-legged and cultivated.

When Su Pingwei opened her eyes and felt that the sky was about to light up, Su Pingwei left the space and laid down in the bed.

As soon as she laid down, Su Pingwei felt something hard pressing against her head. When Su Pingwei touched that thing, she knew what it was.

The warmth of the tentacles made Su Pingwei's heart ache.

Su Pingwei put the Warm Sun Jade in her arms. Why did Lichen and I not meet before?

"Pingwei, wake up." Shi Qingman's voice sounded.

"Oh, okay."

Su Pingwei went to class, ate, and cultivated as usual. However, the two of them, Shi Qingman and her, had become a group of four with Bai Jia, Wang Shitou, and Bai Yinian.

Half a month had passed, and there would be a day of rest in the academy.

On this day, Su Pingwei and the others came to the street of A Town.

Early in the morning, Shi Qingman and Bai Jia were discussing going to buy rouge, jewelry, and clothes. Su Pingwei was not interested in these things, but the Featherfruit and herbs in the space had grown a lot. It was time to go to the medicine store.

When they arrived on the street, in order to save time, they separated. Su Pingwei took out a bamboo hat from her space and walked towards the medicine store.

"Esteemed guest, you are finally here. Please wait a moment, I will go and call our manager." The shop assistant knew Su Pingwei and warmly welcomed Su Pingwei.

"Esteemed guest, you finally came." Not long after, the shopkeeper came out from inside with a smile on his face.

"The shopkeeper has broken through." Su Pingwei smiled and looked at the shopkeeper. His cultivation was a level higher than when Su Pingwei came the last time.

"Thank you for the Featherfruit. I wonder if you still brought the Featherfruit this time?" The shopkeeper looked at Su Pingwei with hope.

Seeing Su Pingwei nod, the shopkeeper immediately beamed with joy.

Su Pingwei took out some Featherfruit and some medicinal herbs, exchanged them for some Yin attribute Spirit Nucleus, and finally received four hundred silver notes.

Su Pingwei threw the things into her space and left the medicine store. It was still early to go back. Su Pingwei found a place where there was no one and entered her space.

Today, the Yin attribute Spirit Nucleus was all of the first level. Su Pingwei had absorbed all of the things inside, but she still could not break through. Su Pingwei thought of the Yin Meridian in the Starmoon Forest.

Other than not getting rid of the Spirit Beast, she could also lure it away. This way, Su Pingwei could also enter the Yin Meridian to absorb the Yin Energy inside.

"Master, are you still thinking about the Yin Meridian?" Little Li crawled into Su Pingwei's arms.

"Mm." Su Pingwei smiled as she stroked the fur of the small raccoon. This was the first time the small raccoon had been so close to Su Pingwei ever since the incident with Jiang Lichen.

"Master, why didn't you agree to Evil Emperor? With his help, Master will be much easier." The small raccoon could not understand why Su Pingwei would reject Jiang Lichen.

"Little raccoon, you don't understand. I can't afford to give Jiang Lichen what he wants." Su Pingwei closed her eyes and covered the sadness in her eyes.

"Isn't Evil Emperor looking for Master? Why can't Master give him what he wants? Could it be that Master still has that person in your heart?" The small raccoon raised its head and looked at Su Pingwei.

"Little raccoon, what Jiang Lichen wants is Zi Lin who loves him, not someone who doesn't love him and uses him to take revenge." Su Pingwei explained indifferently, not caring whether the small raccoon understood or not.

"Master, love can be cultivated slowly." The small raccoon understood Su Pingwei's words. The reason why Su Pingwei did not accept Jiang Lichen was because she did not love him.

"Yes, but do you think that my heart that is riddled with holes can still fall in love with someone else?" Su Pingwei smiled helplessly, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"We still have to rely on ourselves to deal with the Yin Meridian. I should think of a way. I should go out." Su Pingwei put the small raccoon down and went out to meet with the others.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Since that day, Jiang Lichen never came to find Su Pingwei again. Su Pingwei also thought that he had given up. She had been thinking about how to lure away the Spirit Beast under the Yin Meridian during this period of time.

After Shi Qingman fell asleep at night, Su Pingwei came to the Yin Meridian again. This time, she wanted to find out what was underneath.

Su Pingwei hid her aura and slowly walked towards the place where the Yin Meridian was the most powerful.

As soon as Su Pingwei got close, a large amount of Yin Energy rushed towards her. At the same time, Su Pingwei also felt that the huge thing below had also sensed something.

Su Pingwei controlled herself not to absorb the Yin Energy, but a large amount of Yin Energy still rushed towards Su Pingwei.

"Roar ~" The huge thing roared again, but this time, the roar did not hurt Su Pingwei.

Su Pingwei looked at the protective circle around her that was emitting a faint light. She took out the Warm Sun Jade from her pocket, and the Warm Sun Jade also emitted a similar faint light.

Su Pingwei smiled helplessly. If she didn't rely on others, wouldn't she still be protected by others?

"Master, what are you laughing at? Hurry up and absorb the Yin Energy." Xiao Li's voice sounded in her mind.

Su Pingwei rolled her eyes helplessly. She really wanted to ask Xiao Li which eye of yours saw me laughing foolishly, but Su Pingwei did not dare to ask. She hurriedly absorbed the Yin Energy around her.

As Su Pingwei absorbed it, more Yin Energy rushed towards Su Pingwei. The roar below became louder and louder, but it was all blocked by the Warm Sun Jade.

"Bam!" Su Pingwei broke through. Su Pingwei absorbed a large amount of Yin Energy before leaving.

Su Pingwei entered the space and hurriedly meditated to absorb the Spiritual Force in the space. Now that Su Pingwei had enough Yin Energy, she was not able to break through again.

After an unknown period of time, with a "Bang!", Su Pingwei opened her eyes. At this time, she was already a Level Six Martial Cultivator.

"The Yin Energy in the Yin Meridian is really abundant. In such a short period of time, I have already broken through two levels." Su Pingwei said happily. She really wanted to go back and absorb the Yin Energy again.

"Master, just now, when you absorbed the Yin Energy, the thing below kept roaring, but it just couldn't come out. Do you think it can't come out at all?" Little Liao analyzed.

"It's possible." Su Pingwei recalled the situation at that time.

"The sky is about to light up. Master, you should go back." Little Liao interrupted Su Pingwei's memories.

Su Pingwei returned to the dormitory. From then on, Su Pingwei waited for Shi Qingman to fall asleep every day. Then, she would run to the Yin Meridian to absorb the Yin Energy. The thing below was indeed as they had guessed.

In two months, Su Pingwei absorbed the Yin Energy every day. However, she only broke through one level and reached Level Seven Martial Cultivator. The Yin Energy below her was also getting lesser and lesser.

Su Pingwei was very puzzled. On this day, as usual, Su Pingwei came to the Yin Meridian. Before Su Pingwei could begin to absorb it, she heard a "Bang!" and the soil in front of her started to sink.

In an instant, a huge spider appeared in front of Su Pingwei. "Roar ~" The spider roared at Su Pingwei again.

Su Pingwei also knew that this was the thing that had been hidden under the ground all this time. The spider was as tall as Su Pingwei, and its body was as big as a small hill. Without the protection of the earth, its roar just now had actually shattered the protective barrier of the Warm Sun Jade.

"Acquired Peak." Su Pingwei determined the spider's cultivation.

No wonder her cultivation had been so slow during this period of time, but the Yin Energy had disappeared very quickly, and it had been absorbed by the spider.
