135 As the Earth Trembles

Xiao Yan was stunned when she saw Mu Yue killing a Tier 1 Wolf Magical Beast. She thought that it will take a while before Mu Yue could finish the fight. It just took under a minute as Mu Yue successfully timed her technique to accurately behead the wolf.

"I-impressive... I look weak if that's compared to my fight earlier." Xiao Yan said as she stored the wolf's corpse.

"Actually, I am still not at my strongest state. After we arrived at the school, multiple things distracted me that I forgot to cultivate under the moon. Now I have to wait for around two more weeks until I can absorb the moonlight's yin energy." Mu Yue explained. She only had around 3 nights worth of Moonlight Yin, but these nights were the closest to a full moon so she received a decent amount.

Xiao Yan quickly apologizes, "I'm 100% sure that one of the distractions was me. I am sorry for that. Does absorbing Moon related items help you? I can buy a lot of those."

"No no no it's fine." Mu Yue shakes her head. She then added, "I'm not in a rush to cultivate. Besides, I will just be late to start cultivating by less than a month."

"If you say so... Let's continue our hunt but we should stop hunting stronger beast if you can no longer kill them solo." Xiao Yan suggested.

Mu Yue partially agreed."I would stop hunting them solo but we could always try fighting a stronger one with us together."

"Then that would be our plan, Mu Yue. We will spend around 2 weeks and then go back so you could cultivate at school where it is safe. Also, remember to call me if you are going to cultivate. Spending the night alone is not what I want and I prefer being close to you."

For the rest of the day, they continued to hunt Tier 1 Magical Beasts. They could stay for a long time so they decided to also look for herbs that will be used by Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, is this herb useful?"

"Hmm? That is called chrysanthemum. Consuming it can help treat high blood pressure and chest pain. It can also help with headaches, cold, and fever. It is classified as a common herb and is used as an ingredient for Qi Gathering Pills. The age will determine which grade of the pill it can be used."

"Then this?"

"Ginseng. Also a common herb that is used to treat blood deficiency and fatigue. It is a blood tonic herb and is used as an ingredient for Healing pills. Similar to the chrysanthemum, the age will determine the grade of the pill."

Mu Yue was amazed. She knows that cultivators will get an improved memory but memorizing the details of the herbs will certainly be hard. She can't imagine doing the same.

Xiao Yan saw Mu Yue's expression and chuckled, "Looking at your face, it seems that you are amazed at me."

"Yeah... you should have memorized more herbs which I could never do."

"This is normal. Those of the Auxiliary professions need a good memory as they will need to remember a lot of details."

"Good thing I never chose one. I will stick to being a Spell and Sword cultivator. I'd rather fight than sit and read more books. What I have read are already a lot and I don't want to add more to it."

"Hmm... I guess that's fine. I have read a lot of books and I easily memorized them. I however do not have a photographic memory but it should be close. With all the things I said, you basically have me as a walking library."

"Yeah and I'm thankful for that!" Mu Yue cheered as she hugged Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan grinned, "Sadly... there are times I am not with you so I must force you to read more. Prepare yourself when we get home hehe."

She threatened Mu Yue but she still enjoys the hug. She hasn't gotten her fill yet when the ground shook. This was then followed by the noises of beasts sounding around them.

"Damn it, what is it now?" Xiao Yan asked. She then felt that the shaking was getting stronger, with the louder sounds coming from one direction.

They separated from each other and climbed a tree. What Xiao Yan saw placed fear in her heart.
