Jiang Ji and the other two also ran over and saluted Xiao Baidao and the other three.
Feng Xi took the opportunity to use a cleaning technique. Although the tribulation lightning hadn't struck her directly, she was still covered in dust from head to toe.
Moreover, she had sweated profusely when establishing her foundation and expelled some impurities, which left her feeling far from refreshed.
After she cleaned herself up, everyone froze.
Feng Xi was already very beautiful before, now she's even more so!
Her ink like black hair, her skin like jade, and her bright, lively eyes were like a clear spring that made people unconsciously sink into them.
Jun Wen felt like the saying "breaking out of a cocoon into a butterfly" was no longer sufficient here, Little Junior Sister had undergone nirvana and become a phoenix!
Feng Xi took out a small mirror and looked at herself, revealing two small dimples, "Fifth Senior Brother, I should look into mirrors less often."
Jun Wen asked in surprise, "Why?"
"I'm afraid I'll be charmed to death by myself."
Jun Wen: "..."
Everyone chatted and laughed for a while before Feng Xi remembered the purple lightning.
She recalled that she hadn't completely absorbed it. Where had it gone?
In the end, she found it lying motionless in the grass.
It was now only as thick as cotton thread, and its color had faded to the point that the purple was barely visible.
It "looked" at Feng Xi:
Do I still resemble my former self at all?!
This was all because of you!
If I do not avenge this, I swear I will not be lightning!
Feng Xi flashed her small white teeth, "Thank you for helping me achieve Heaven-grade Foundation Establishment. I'll send you on your way!"
She slapped it with one palm, and it dispersed!
Purple lightning: You dog! Just you wait! I will come… back…
After talking a bit longer, Xiao Baidao and the others returned to the outskirts.
This was a trial after all. They couldn't interfere too much, or it would defeat the purpose.
Feng Xi was extremely excited and couldn't wait to find a demonic beast to test the power of her Foundation Establishment Stage.
But after walking for quite some time, they didn't encounter a single demonic beast.
Jiang Ji analyzed, "Little Junior Sister, the demonic beasts were probably frightened by the tribulation lightning and are hiding away.
It's almost dark, let's find a place to stay for the night."
Jiang Ji found a relatively flat area and had Feng Xi and the others rest while he kept watch.
The three didn't argue, as they would be staying in the Mysterious Mist Forest for several days and could take turns.
The next morning, they continued forward, still encountering no demonic beasts.
Suddenly, Feng Xi stopped and pointed at a tree beside them, "I saw this tree yesterday."
Jun Wen said carelessly, "Little Junior Sister, the trees here all look similar. You must be mistaken."
Feng Xi shook her head, "I'm not mistaken. Look at that patch of grass ahead, there are signs of being trampled, and there's a fruit pit I threw."
Jun Wen crouched down and really found a fruit pit.
They were stunned!
"So we've been going in circles? We're lost?
But we've been using the sun to determine direction. How could we get lost?"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ji said, "There cannot be a formation here. The only explanation is that we've fallen into the mist, which has confused us into thinking we're walking in the correct direction."
Jun Wen scratched his head, "But we don't see any mist!"
Feng Xi curled her lips, "We're trapped inside it, of course we can't see it."
This mist was quite interesting, it had actually enveloped them silently within it.
Thinking of this, she said to the little black ball, "They're mist, and you're mist. Don't you feel a little ashamed?"
The little black ball blinked, "No, I don't."
Feng Xi: "..."
But she had no time to deal with it right now, finding a way out was more important.
Meanwhile, Qin Shifeng and the others had also fallen into the mist.
Meng Huainan, who was proficient in formations, began searching for a way to break it.
Although this was caused by mist, it was similar to a formation. With some time, a flaw could be found.
Qin Shifeng said worriedly, "Our three sects all have formation masters among the personal disciples. Xuantian Sect's four are all sword cultivators, they may be trapped.
Once we break free, we should go check on them."
Xing Wu said lazily, "There's no problem in this world that Little Junior Sister cannot solve!
But going to take a look is also fine, we can walk together with Xuantian Sect then!
Only by staying beside Little Junior Sister do I feel at ease."
Ah! The second day without Little Junior Sister! Every day feels like a year!
Qin Shifeng said seriously, "Little Junior Sister Feng Xi is indeed very capable and I also admire her a lot.
But you cannot always rely on her, you must stand on your own.
Otherwise, one day, you won't be able to keep up with her and will be left far behind."
Xing Wu was stunned, then jolted!
That's right!
Little Junior Sister is so monstrous. Once her dantian fully recovers, her cultivation will definitely advance by leaps and bounds. What if she leaves me behind?
I must cultivate!
I must cultivate with everything I have!
As long as I don't die from it, I'll cultivate!
"Eldest Senior Brother, you figure out the solution first. I'm going to cultivate!"
He immediately sat cross-legged.
Qin Shifeng: "..."
Now you decide to be diligent!
At Wan Jian Sect's side, Ling Qianting had similar thoughts to Qin Shifeng and planned to look for Feng Xi and the others to help after breaking free.
At Hunyuan Sect's side, they were also trying to break the mist. Lu Xiuhan unexpectedly proposed going to help Xuantian Sect after escaping.
Mu Zihuai and the others were very surprised.
They themselves bore no hostility toward Feng Xi, as she had saved them before.
But they knew Lu Xiuhan hated Feng Xi deeply. Now he was actually proposing to help?
However, they also wanted to repay Feng Xi, so they all agreed.
Lu Xiuhan sneered inwardly. You fools are all soft-hearted!
Do you think I actually wanted to help?
When I see Feng Xi, I'll present her with a big gift!
Meanwhile, Feng Xi, who was assumed to need help, was throwing explosive talismans one stack after another!
As long as the impact was strong enough, the mist would definitely disperse!
Brute force defeats clever tricks!
Of course, this method worked only because the area of mist trapping them wasn't large and because she had plenty of talismans to waste.
Jiang Ji and the other two stood there like wooden stakes.
Little Junior Sister seemed to have developed many new uses for talismans!
It's just a bit…of a waste of talismans.
Feng Xi declared that this wasn't an issue at all. With one stamp in hand, the world is mine!
