She no longer had the look of a panicked and frail woman.

With how she currently appeared, it seemed that she probably had the ability to swallow those bandits alive.

She looked at Li Ming and found that this seemingly weak scholar’s expression was still the same.

Ever since the beginning, the seemingly weak scholar did not seem surprised at all by the ghostly figure’s attack or her change in identity.

The beautiful woman stared at Li Ming in surprise and sized him up again.

It was as if they had a new understanding of each other.

This little scholar was quite calm.

From his temperament, he was indeed a good seedling, which she admired.

The beautiful woman’s calm voice resounded through the flickering bonfire in the ruined temple.

“Little scholar, you already knew?”

Faced with the question of the beautiful woman, Li Ming said lightly, “I was simply guessing.”

“Oh? You guessed it the moment I came in?” The beautiful woman was confident that her disguise was flawless.

Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even if it was an expert of the same level, she had the confidence to completely conceal her aura.

However, this little scholar was clearly weak, but he had been able to see through everything.

“Yes.” Li Ming nodded.

In fact, he had vaguely guessed from the beginning that the relationship between this beautiful woman and the ghostly figure was unusual.

This was why he had been quietly watching.

After all, how could a woman suddenly appear in the wilderness?

It just did not seem right.

He had also used his divine sense to investigate, but because this beautiful woman’s strength was much stronger than his, he could not find any flaws.

Often, not having any flaws was also a kind of flaw.

The beautiful woman’s gaze remained unchanged.

He knew of my identity from the beginning…

She then asked, “In that case, why did you save me?”

“You should know that those mortals can’t hurt me, but you still made a move.”

“Besides, you also said that it was just a guess. Why did you not use these mortals as a way to test me?”

Li Ming thought for a moment and then said, “It’s better to be safe than sorry. If a weak woman really got humiliated right in front of me, I would not be able to stomach not having done anything.”

A weak woman…

The beautiful woman looked at Li Ming. She was no longer concealing her aura, so it was now apparent that she was no weak woman.

However, Li Ming’s answer made the beautiful woman think for a moment.

A righteous and sincere heart and a clear mind.

This was a state of mind that was in line with the path of cultivation.

After answering, Li Ming quietly looked into the beautiful woman’s eyes.

He knew that this beautiful woman was testing him. If he gave a bad answer, he would fall into a life-and-death situation.

However, he still chose to give an answer true to his heart.

If there was really a woman who was humiliated in front of him, and he allowed the tragedy to happen because of his suspicion, it would go against his path.

Therefore, his answer and aura were all based on his own considerations.

However, he did not know if such an answer would anger these monsters.

If that were to happen, then a fierce battle would be inevitable…

Moreover, if he had to fight, just the ghostly figure was enough to keep him occupied.

In the end, there was still the beautiful woman to who the ghostly figure was so respectful and who his divine sense was unable to see through.

This meant that this beautiful woman was an existence that was at least stronger than the ghostly monster.

This meant that he would have to face two powerhouses alone. Not to mention his chances of winning, even his chances of survival were quite slim.

Thus, he was only calm on the surface, but he was actually very nervous.

Li Ming thought to himself.

“I never thought that after chasing after the demons all this way, I would actually meet two true experts in the wilderness.”

“It seems that my luck really is not that good…”

Li Ming looked at the beautiful woman calmly and found that the way she was looking at him was also very unusual.

What’s with this gaze?

Am I considered to have passed?

Although it was not a gaze filled with compassion, it was not like the way she looked at the bandits when her eyes appeared as if she were looking at ants.

If he had to choose a word, her gaze was one of appreciation.

Perhaps she did not hate human cultivators that much, or perhaps his previous actions had made her show mercy?

The ghostly figure had been quietly lying on the side, like a docile pet, waiting for the beautiful woman’s next move.

However, the terrifying aura it exuded was nothing like a pet’s. Li Ming did not dare to act rashly because of the aura it exuded.

It was said that some demons hated human beings the most, and it was especially severe toward human cultivators… Just by the fact that the ghostly figure had massacred those bandits in such a way showed that it was absolutely not some amiable creature.

Even now, the ghostly figure had not reduced its hostility.

As time passed, the bonfire in the temple had cooled down, and only a torch was still burning.

“Fum…”

A gust of cold wind blew, and the torch was suddenly put out.

Li Ming’s body gradually tensed up, and he unconsciously circulated the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art. A warm current circulated in his body.

He felt that this was probably the most dangerous situation he had ever encountered ever since coming to this world of cultivation!

Finally, the beautiful woman spoke.

Her voice was still very gentle, allowing Li Ming’s nervous heart to relax again.

“From your moves, you must be a body cultivator.”

“Yes,” Li Ming answered frankly.

There was no point in hiding such a fact from such an expert.

The beautiful woman was slightly surprised. “Your body refining technique looks a little familiar…”

Li Ming said calmly, “Senior, I practice the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art.”

The Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art?

“I’ve never heard of it,” the woman shook her head.

Li Ming thought to himself that this was indeed a possibility. After all, why would an existence at her level care to know about a cultivation technique of a low level like his.

However, he was also puzzled. Why did this beautiful woman suddenly mention his body tempering cultivation technique?

“This body tempering cultivation technique of yours. It seems to be an inferior version.”

The beautiful woman said without a doubt and then threw a jade slip over to Li Ming.

A delicate fragrance entered his hand. Li Ming could tell that this was a jade slip of technique impartation.

This type of jade slip only required one to use their divine sense to scan it and was very convenient.

Moreover, it was a one-time-use item.

She said that I’m practicing the inferior version? She even gave me a cultivation technique?

Li Ming was stunned for a moment.

In his opinion, the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art that he was cultivating was already a very profound cultivation technique.

He did not expect it to be worthless in the mouth of this beautiful woman.

It seemed that her strength might be a bit stronger than he had imagined.

“Thank you, senior.”

Li Ming took advantage of this opportunity to curry some favor. Seeing that she had belittled his cultivation method but had no ill intentions, he directly acknowledged her as a senior.

Even if the other party was a monster that turned their backs against old friends, it would not casually attack a junior, right?

The strong also had the dignity and face of the strong.

After taking the jade slip, Li Ming put it in his sleeve.

Even though he was curious about what kind of cultivation technique she had given him after calling his Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art as an inferior version, out of courtesy, Li Ming did not check it on the spot.

Instead, he carefully put away the jade slip and then expressed his gratitude.

Sure enough, the beautiful woman nodded in satisfaction when she saw Li Ming’s actions.

“You may leave,” she said indifferently.

“Thank you, senior,” Li Ming said with a smile.

Then, without saying a word, he turned around and left.

It was not until he walked out of the temple and was far away from the terrifying pressure that he slowly recovered.
