Ji Hong said it was fine, but after being at the Feudal Town for more than a year, he had encountered quite a lot, so his mind couldn’t help but beco anxious.
"Yes, yes, yes, Master is so strong, there will definitely be no problems!"
Su Xing’er, trusting in Xia Hong’s strength, was instantly comforted by his words, and her emotions cald down imdiately.
"Then if we hide inside, this year’s trial will be wasted!"
After calming down, Su Xing’er began to express concern about the trial.
Su Jing and the other two’s faces slightly sank when they heard this. They had given all the Blood Jade Pearls to their sister in the first ten days, and now the trial was inexplicably halted. Naturally, they were in a bad mood.
Cai Shiqin was full of confusion at this mont. Seeing the four still concerned about the trial, she felt amused but helpless.
"You want Blood Jade Pearls, is that right?"
Ji Hong saw the expressions on Su Xing’er and the other three’s faces and smiled and asked. Without waiting for their response, he casually picked up a leather bag from beside the campfire and tossed it to Su Xing’er.
Su Xing’er opened the bag to have a look, and her expression instantly froze.
Su Jing and the other two, along with Cai Shiqin, were puzzled and crowded around to look, and their bodies jolted in shock, their pupils filled with horror.
In that bag, it was densely packed with countless Blood Jade Pearls, roughly estimated to be at least over a thousand.
However, this wasn’t all...
"I have three more bags. My Skin mbrane is in perfect condition, and these low-quality Blood Jade Pearls are of no use to anymore. I’ll give them all to you!"
With those words, Ji Hong threw all three bags to Su Xing’er.
Su Xing’er held the four bags, her face full of astonishnt.
Ten days ago, she was unhappy with Cai Zizheng over three Blood Jade Pearls, but now, she was confused and had four to five thousand Blood Jade Pearls?
Cai Shiqin looked at the many corpses behind the campfire and quickly understood the origin of these Blood Jade Pearls. While a hint of surprise arose in her heart, she couldn’t help but feel a little envious when she looked at Su Xing’er.
Ji Hong spoke casually, but these Blood Jade Pearls were not cheap items; even if unused, one could be sold for five hundred silver.
He casually gave them to Su Xing’er...
"Alright, you should stay here and cultivate! I still have so business."
Ji Hong casually instructed and promptly walked towards the cave entrance.
Su Xing’er, her three brothers, and Cai Shiqin were left standing there, looking at each other, and after a brief discussion, they could only accept Ji Hong’s arrangent.
They didn’t know the extent of the cold wave outside or when it would pass.
The Yellow Candle has a limited duration and should not be used carelessly. Taking it outside recklessly might result in it burning out, or as Ji Hong ntioned, it could strongly attract Cold Beasts, making it uncertain whether they could survive until the Yellow Candle was exhausted.
Therefore, hiding in the cave and waiting for the cold wave to pass, as Ji Hong suggested, was undoubtedly the safest option.
Moreover, with the unexpected acquisition of four to five thousand Blood Jade Pearls, it was naturally ti to seize the opportunity to cultivate and enhance their power!
"There’s no way soone would give us so many Blood Jade Pearls for no reason, and he just killed those people to save us. Brother Ji definitely knows our Master, and their connection should be very deep..."
Su Xing’er pondered for a mont, hurriedly distributed so of the Blood Jade Pearls to Su Jing and the other two, as well as Cai Shiqin, then directly began cultivating.
"Seize the ti to enhance strength so that there’s an opportunity to repay in the future..."
Thus, Su Xing’er and the four of them lived in the cave.
At first, they didn’t know what Ji Hong was busy with outside every day, but five days later, when Ji Hong returned with three bodies of young people from Chen Cang in front of them, and occasionally brought back several corpses after that, they suddenly understood.
Ji Hong, when he went out every day, was actually luring and killing the trial disciples from Chen Cang!
Wasn’t he one of the Chen Cang people?
Even Cai Shiqin, as well as Su Xing’er’s three siblings, were full of confusion.
However, Ji Hong’s temperant was too cold most of the ti; except for the first day when he said a few words to them, he never communicated with them. Even when Su Xing’er tried to initiate a conversation, he only responded perfunctorily.
Most of the ti, he was inquiring about Master Hong Yu.
In this way, Su Xing’er was also afraid of saying the wrong thing, so she reduced her interaction with Ji Hong.
And so, ti slowly passed.
Ten days... twenty days... thirty days... forty days...
After staying in the cave for forty-five days, one and a half months later, Ji Hong ca back from outside once again and finally brought good news.
"The temperature outside is rising, the cold wave should pass soon, you can start preparing to go ho..."
Hearing the good news from Ji Hong, the four’s expressions imdiately relaxed a lot.
"32 Zong, still in Late-stage Cold Resistance cultivation, with the Skin mbrane in perfect condition, I can feel that there’s still quite a distance to the final round of Blood and Flesh Reorganization. When I finally break through to Peak of Cold Resistance, I should have a strength above 40 Zong, that’s excellent..."
The happiest, of course, was Su Xing’er.
In these forty-five days, she had made great progress!
Of course, it wasn’t just her.
Su Xing’er turned to look at her three brothers, her face full of joy.
"Big brother 22 Zong, second brother 22 Zong, third brother 21 Zong, all the strength improved by 9 to 10 Zong, this trial turned out to be well worth it, Master will definitely be happy for us!"
