My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 413: Chapter 194: Commotion

...This is a lot of work.

But it’s worth it.

He strung the bamboo tubes together with vines, called Xile over, and hung the bundles on its back.

He then signaled to Xile and returned to the valley, where he found the lotus roots he had left on the cliff’s edge.

...He had come by a few days ago. After all, his last meditation lasted over half a year, and Qin Fang wasn’t sure if the lotus roots had spoiled.

Fortunately, as expected of an Extraordinary Treasure Plant, the golden lotus roots at least hadn’t gone bad.

But the more ordinary-colored ones had already started to rot.

This part could only be discarded. Qin Fang took the remaining golden lotus roots, which weighed over a hundred pounds, and also secured them to Xile’s back with vines.

He took one last look at the deep pool...

...There were still ’Dart Fish’ in there. Those fish also looked like an Exotic Species, and their meat was likely valuable.

But in the end, he didn’t touch the fish.

"I’ll study them next time I come back."

’I’ll have to study them next time I come back,’ Qin Fang thought.

...He would definitely return to Old Ox Back.

After all, his Cultivation had now reached the Primordial Stream Realm. It was clear the Cold Cave was of great benefit to his training.

This time was an accident that had put him in danger, nearly causing a disaster.

But now he had learned his lesson. As long as he wasn’t careless again, this place was a perfect training ground for him.

He would return to Old Ox Back after going back to the Sect and exchanging for the next level of his Cultivation Technique.

Once all this was done, Qin Fang mounted Xile’s back again. With a call, Xile broke into a run.

...Qin Fang planned to return to the Sect.

Xile was now definitely an Exotic Species... but there were other Exotic Species in the Sect.

For example, the unicorn-like horse Qin Fang had seen that day was an Exotic Species.

Many of the Immortal Cranes and Apes in Baichuan Plaza were also Exotic Species.

Although Xile now seemed much stronger than any of them.

However, with Qin Fang’s current status in the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect, he could easily protect a single Exotic Species.

With Xile for transportation, his return journey was much faster.

In just half a day, they had already left the True Martial Realm and entered the Gusha County region.

To avoid unnecessary chaos, Qin Fang had Xile try to stay away from people...

But in the end, they were still spotted.

While passing through Gusha County, as Xile bounded over mountains and through valleys, they were discovered by a few Hunters.

The sight stunned the Hunters, leaving them frozen in place with their eyes nearly popping out of their heads...

...A golden dog seven or eight meters long!

...These Hunters had never left the Gusha region in their lives; how could they have ever seen such a thing?

"A demon, it’s a demon!!!"

The Hunters were scared out of their wits and fled, scrambling and tumbling over themselves.

By the time Qin Fang, on the dog’s back, noticed, it was already too late.

...Because Xile hadn’t paid them any mind and had already run far away.

In the end, Qin Fang could only shake his head. He didn’t stop to explain.

’Oh, well...’

’If they saw us, they saw us. Even if they report a Demon to the Gusha County Government Office, the report will eventually make its way to the Sacrificial Hall anyway.’

’I’m heading back regardless. I’ll just mention it to the Sacrificial Hall when I get there.’

And so, Qin Fang decided to stop avoiding people altogether.

For the rest of the journey, person after person spotted the giant golden dog, their faces changing in shock and terror.

Naturally, some also noticed Qin Fang on the great dog’s back.

"Th-there’s a person on that demon’s back!!"

"He’s riding a demon? Wh-who is that?!"

They were utterly dumbfounded.

But by the time they tried to get a clear look at Qin Fang’s face, Xile was already long gone.

Riding Xile, they crossed every mountain and river in their path...

To Qin Fang’s surprise, the power within Xile, similar to True Essence, was quite remarkable. Although Xile couldn’t fly, it could run on water!

At one point during their journey, they even galloped along a river channel.

Xile ran across the river’s surface as if on solid ground!

It was an amazing sight.

Just like that, a mere five days later, Qin Fang arrived in Qingmu City.

When he appeared in Qingmu City riding Xile, it unsurprisingly caused a huge commotion. Everyone in the market panicked and scrambled backward.

This promptly alerted the Black Armored Soldiers.

When the fully armed Black Armored Soldiers arrived, Qin Fang took out his Sacrificial Hall Token and tossed it to them.

The lead Black Armored Soldier was startled but quickly caught the Token.

After a close look, his expression turned to shock. He quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Tributor Qin."

"Mm. Calm the citizens. This is an Exotic Species I raised. It’s not a Demon and won’t harm anyone. Tell them not to panic."

Qin Fang nodded calmly.

It had probably been a long time since Xile had been out in the open among people. Its doggy eyes darted around everywhere as it panted happily, tongue lolling out.

This, however, thoroughly terrified the surrounding crowd, who turned pale and kept backing away...

"Yes, sir!"

The Black Armored Soldier quickly accepted the order. At the same time, he took two steps forward. Standing in front of Xile, he looked like a small child.

Even for a True Essence Realm Martial Artist like him, his heart trembled with fear.

...It wasn’t that he’d never seen an Exotic Species before, but this great dog before him seemed particularly extraordinary.

He carefully handed the Token back.

Qin Fang simply dismounted and took the Token.

"What a fine Exotic Species... Which branch are you a disciple of? Where did this creature come from?"

Just as the Black Armored Soldier was about to go and calm the crowd, a familiar voice rang out.

Qin Fang looked up, and a muscle in his cheek twitched...

Who else could be walking over at this moment but Yun Guanyu?

He stared at Xile in astonishment, then looked down at Qin Fang, quickly recognizing his identity as a member of the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect.
