Before no one came to bother her, Su Li stilled her mind. After killing the corpse demon, she finally had time to carefully sort out her cultivation at this moment.
The first thing was that she had successfully broken through and entered the third hurdle of Suiyu Tactics. As the corpse demon broke the barrier set by Ma De, she absorbed enough jade energy and finally completed the breakthrough. At this moment, changes caused by the breakthrough were also clear in her heart.
The third hurdle of Suiyu Tactics was Huayu Realm.
Entering this realm, Su Li finally began to be proficient at Suiyu Tactics and the terrifying side of such tactics finally surfaced. Only after entering this realm, could Su Li finally understand why this method could stand out from various mental methods in the ancient age and become the top-one method in the Kuiyu Palace.
Immediately after the breakthrough, Su Li sensed the huge improvement in her strength, speed and reaction ability, which were at least three times higher than before.
In the past, her strength was not inferior to any demons of the same realm, but was still far from surpassing those demons. However, Suiyu Tactics managed to help her achieve this feat. And this was also the reason why she could crush the corpse demon in the battle.
The improvement of such a fundamental level was completely beyond her expectation.
Black Lotus said a long time ago that her physical body had reached the limit of Human Clan—turning blood into the tide. The next realm was physical sanctification that only the legendary immortals could reach. Even among the immortals, only very few people could reach this realm.
Su Li estimated that she was at most in between the two, beyond the realm of turning blood into the tide and below the realm of physical sanctification. But she did go beyond the physical limit of the Human Clan through Suiyu Tactics, and she did not feel any discomfort.
The other thing was related to the body of evil ghost.
After absorbing the corpse demon, the evil ghost became different from before. She had not found time to confirm whether there were other changes, but she was sure that she had become stronger now.
“The pneuma of Divine Thunder of the Five Elements is still far away, and it seems that I can only ask Chi Tian for help. But since Chi Tian is stabilizing the situation in Qingshui Circle, I can still take this time to improve my realm…”
Su Li opened her eyes and looked thoughtful.
She had always been cautious. Only in a dangerous situation where there was no other way, would she choose to gamble. At this moment, it was not yet time to fight against Bai Mo. And she must take advantage of all conveniences in Chimo Circle to improve herself as much as possible in a short time.
…
After the disaster, Ma Camp entered the reconstruction stage. Although warriors suffered heavy casualties, Ma Camp quickly stabilized and got back on track under the arrangement of Ma De.
“Uncle Ma, in fact, apart from warriors, there is not much other loss this time. Only the city gate needs to be rebuilt.”
Li Hong’s face was a little pale. His injuries were still unhealed, but they no longer affected his normal paperwork, “The warriors can only rely on time to recover.”
Ma De nodded and turned to Bing Feng who was sitting on the side, asking, “My Lord, do you have anything else to add?”
“No.”
Bing Feng leaned on the soft chair and said, “There is a very important person in your camp now. Why not ask what else she needs? You know, she is your savior, and of course…”
Bing Feng straightened up and said seriously, “She also saved me. Please tell me where Grand Elder Su lives and I want to thank her personally.”
“My Lord, you are right.”
Ma De got up with a sincere expression, “I will go with you.”
After a while, they appeared in front of the courtyard. Seeing the collapsed house on one side of the courtyard and the fragments of the rune tactical matrix on the ground, Bing Feng couldn’t help recalling the actions of Li Qingling at that time.
He smiled gently and thought that he still needed to thank one more person.
“Welcome.”
Su Li opened the door, showing her black skirt and elegant face in front of the people, “Come in.”
Bing Feng nodded slightly to show respect, but he was curious in his heart.
It was hard to imagine that this girl looking young and weak could actually swing a giant corpse with a height of several floors. That scene was so impressive that he thought it would be hard to forget in his lifetime.
Not long after, everyone was seated.
Su Li looked at Bing Feng and said calmly, “Since you are here, Chi Tian should have already known that I am here. Why doesn’t he show up?”
“Grand Elder Su,” Bing Feng quickly explained, “after you left Qingshui Circle, Ni Sect encountered a crisis. His Excellency is currently stabilizing the situation of Ni Sect, so he has not come back yet.”
Su Li already had such a guess, and this question was just for confirming her thought. Hearing what Bing Feng said, Su Li nodded, “I will go and meet him personally, but before that…”
Su Li turned to Ma De, and the latter lowered his head slightly, “What could I do, Holy Girl? As long as it is within my capability, I will do it for you.”
“I have never been the holy girl. You know it.”
Su Li shook her head, “I need your help in one thing.”
“Holy… Grand Elder Su, please.”
Seeing Su Li’s kindness, Ma De was flattered, saying, “It’s my great honor to help you.”
Su Li smiled, “I will heal Ma Jintian’s injury.”
Ma De’s treasure had helped her make a breakthrough and she had helped Ma De kill the corpse demon, so they were even. As for the Reincarnation Mirror, the instigator was Bai Mo. Strictly speaking, Ma De was just a pawn, so there was no need to blame him.
Now she wanted Ma De to motivate the whole city’s force to collect black lotus stones for her, which would be much more efficient, so of course she needed to do something in return.
Ma De didn’t know the cause, so he was moved and burst into tears because of excitement.
“Grand Elder Su, I am…ashamed!”
Bing Feng did not understand the ins and outs of the matter, but he was also touched by Ma De’s appearance. With a fist and palm salute towards Su Li, he left the room directly, leaving space for Su Li and Ma De.
Su Li watched quietly as Ma De cried, and said nothing.
When Ma De calmed down, she said, “The past is over, so you don’t have to worry about it. What kind of treasure is the green barrier you took out a few days ago?”
Ma De was redeemed at this moment, so he looked radiant. Although the corners of his eyes were still red, it did not prevent him from answering Su Li.
“That is the fragment of Tianhe Tripod!”
Tianhe!
Su Li was not surprised, “Then your identity?”
Ma De smiled bitterly, “On the surface, I was a talent in an ordinary holy sect, but secretly I was a spy of Tianhe Sect. And there are many other spies arranged by Tianhe Sect just like me.
Back then, I received an order to enter the Reincarnation Mirror together with my son with the secret help of Tianhe Sect. The purpose was not for you, but to find the remnants of Tianhe Tripod. Later…after we escaped, we found ourselves in Chimo Circle…”
Su Li nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, Ma De seemed to have made up his mind and he lowered his voice, “Grand Elder Su, I don’t know how much you know about Tianhe Sect, but Tianhe Sect is definitely not as simple as it appears.
I was just an ordinary servant in Tianhe Sect at first. Once I accidentally saw something that I shouldn’t see and became unconscious. When I woke up, I found my talent had reached the rank of talent. Overjoyed, I worked hard and cultivated to the level of junior holy boys. I was about to fight for the position of Great Holy Boy when suddenly I was secretly arranged to be a spy in another holy sect.
Later, I learned that my talent and cultivation were earned by my life span.”
Ma De pointed to his face, “I am only 3,000 years old and my cultivation has reached Huashen Realm, so I shouldn’t look so old. Besides, Tianhe Sect must have arranged spies in other holy sects with great ambition. Grand Elder Su…you also need to be careful.”
Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly.
Her knowledge of Tianhe Sect was only limited to the description of Fang Yuan and Tianyake Attic. Because of Fang Yuan, she did not hate Tianhe Sect although she had no contact with it. But now hearing what Ma De said, she seemed to be too careless.
In Ni Sect, Su Mu and Su Yang were also from Tianhe Sect. They seemed to be enemies sometimes and friends at other times, which was obviously problematic, but she ignored it all the time.
“I will pay attention to this matter.”
Su Li’s expression returned to normal, “What I want might require a lot of manpower. Time is limited, so please go and make arrangements first.”
After a moment, Li Hong looked at the warriors of all levels who had been summoned by him with a strange expression.
“Now there is an urgent task for you, which is of great importance!”
These warriors were depressed because of failing to provide help in the previous disaster. Being summoned at this moment, they shouted immediately, “Lord Knife King, please say what do you want us to do. As long as we can help you, we will take all risks to do it without hesitation.”
“Without hesitation!”
Seeing their enthusiasm, Li Hong did not know whether to cry or to laugh, “Please go to collect such stones in my hand. It is preferable to pick a whole piece, the bigger the better.”
Li Hong took out a black lotus stone, and the warriors suddenly fell silent, looking at each other in consternation.
Wasn’t this the most common black stone in Chimo Circle?
They were summoned to remove stones?!
As the crowd became agitated, Li Hong immediately added, “You also know that during this giant corpse attack, if Lord Su Li hadn’t helped us at the critical moment, Ma Camp would have not existed. Now she is going to use these black stones for special purposes, so you are needed. This is not an ordinary task. I want you to collect as many black stones as possible in the shortest time. Can you do it?”
Hearing this, everyone abandoned their dissatisfaction and became full of energy.
“Bros, let’s go! We must find the biggest stone for Lord Su Li!”
“Let’s go to the Death Region!”
“The corpse demon has already been dead, so the Death Region is relatively safe. Let’s take a risk and go deep into the Death Region to find stones. There are the purest black stones!”
“For Lord Su Li, let’s go!”
“Go! Go! Go!”
In the blink of an eye, the warriors all left. Li Hong was dumbfounded for a moment, and then he wore a big and bright smile.
Returning kindness with more kindness.
This was the spirit of warriors in Chimo Circle!
