I can push my cultivation progress to the end

The fat man in front of Li Hai, who came from the Black Wolf Bandits, and the skinny man who had died tragically just now, were certainly not good people.

Although these two brothers were not skilled in martial arts, their level was only at the Vigorous Strength Eruption stage.

However, after some questioning, Li Hai learned that, relying on the Black Wolf Bandits' fierce reputation and ruthless nature, the number of innocent people who died at the hands of these two had actually exceeded twenty.

So, after squeezing all the information out of the fat man, Li Hai also blasted his head with a pipe, leaving only a headless, fat corpse lying on the spot.

As for the martial arts practiced by these two… one was the Savage Bull Fist, and the other was the Iron Fan Palm. Although they could only barely touch the Vigorous Qi Circulation realm even after reaching their peak, Li Hai didn't mind and learned them all.

Because for him now, learning one more move is a sign of respect for his own life.

This world is too vast, there are many experts and many secrets, so it's better to be cautious. If you can loot, then loot. Don't be picky.

“Other things aside…”

Li Hai lowered his head and looked at the old, coarse cloth clothes he was wearing, and muttered, “This outfit needs to be changed.”

Immediately, he began to carefully search the many厢房 (xiāngfáng, side rooms) in this courtyard.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Hai, who had washed up and changed into a new set of clothes and shoes, appeared in the center of the courtyard.

In addition to the clothes, Li Hai also found a lot of wealth in a certain side room.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to copper coins and gold and silver, the Jing Dynasty's currency actually included paper money.

However, compared to the paper money of modern society on Earth, the paper money of this world is slightly rougher, and both its face value and area are slightly larger, making it look more like a silver note.

So, not wanting to carry too many things on the road, Li Hai mostly took Jing Dynasty silver notes from here, rather than copper coins or silver.

“Time to hit the road～ Dust to dust, earth to earth.”

Standing at the door, Li Hai took one last look at the courtyard, then flung the torch far into the yard.

Whoosh～

Just then, a faint call came from a distance, reaching Li Hai's ears.

He immediately stopped, listened again, and his expression changed slightly as he blurred and rushed towards the direction from which the call came.

After traveling more than a hundred zhang, an extremely handsome figure came into Li Hai's sight.

It was… the young Guo Huaijin.

“Wife～”

Guo Huaijin walked blankly, shouting loudly as he walked, “Wife, where are you? Where are you?”

At this moment, he suddenly saw Li Hai standing quietly by the roadside, so his eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward, cupped his fist in greeting, and asked:

“This brother, have you seen where my wife is?”

“Your wife?”

Li Hai asked back, “What's her name?”

“Her name is…”

Guo Huaijin paused, then said embarrassedly, “I… I don't know.”

“Don't know?”

Li Hai said, “You don't even know her name, how are you going to find her?”

“I… I…” Guo Huaijin was at a loss, not knowing how to answer.

“That's right.”

As if thinking of something, Li Hai asked again, “What… what's your name?”

“This…”

Guo Huaijin froze instantly, then said blankly, “I… I don't know either.”

“Hmm～” Li Hai pondered, “I think I probably know what you are.”

It is… Asu's lingering obsession in the world.

Immediately, Li Hai turned and strode towards the distance, never looking back.

Guo Huaijin, after being stunned in place for a while, seemed to have completely forgotten everything just now, and stumbled towards the depths of the forest again, shouting as he ran:

“Wife～”

“Wife, where are you?”

“Can you come back? Can we go home?”

… …

After being burned by a monstrous fire, the Dark Forest has now become a veritable dead zone.

All the big trees and forests have been scorched, carbonized and turned into ashes, covering the ground with a thick layer. Stepping on it will sink into it, raising a cloud of black dust.

If you walk on this land of ashes, you will also hear a crackling sound under your feet, as if there are dead souls moaning in pain.

At the same time, this Dark Forest ruin is constantly filled with the pungent smell of burnt smoke, making it impossible to breathe.

But even in this harsh environment, Li Hai is walking quickly without changing his expression.

With his current strength of Steel Bones Iron Muscles, he can basically cross dozens of zhang every second, and no matter how thick the charred wood in front of him is, it will be broken and turned into dust.

The reason why Li Hai returned to the Dark Forest was to answer a question in his heart.

That is, where did Asu's 'Evil Spirit Earth Yin Absorption Method' come from?

Is there some kind of secret hidden in her old house that only exists in the Ghost Eye vision?

“Finally here.”

Under the vast misty sky, Li Hai looked at the black rocky slope covered with ashes in the distance. Suddenly, his figure became illusory and his face turned pale, transforming into a ghost form.

Then, the bare rocky slope also underwent a strange change in his vision.

An ancient black-tiled house appeared out of thin air.

“Hope there will be some gains.”

Muttering like this, Li Hai quickly floated towards the ancient house.

Before he could push the door open, a crisp, cold female laughter came from inside the ancient house:

“Giggle giggle～”

At the same time, the dark, heavy wooden door in front of Li Hai opened with a creak, as if urging him to go in quickly.

“You son of a bitch.”

To this, Li Hai laughed and scolded without fear, “You're a ghost, am I not a ghost? You're trying to scare a ghost!”

After saying that, he touched his toes to the ground and hovered his heels in the air, floating in like a ghost.

The wooden door slammed shut.

At the same moment when Li Hai entered this mysterious ghost house, a thin middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe and holding a divination banner also came to this Dark Forest ruin.

He frowned tightly, looking straight into the depths of the Dark Forest, while raising his hand to calculate, muttering:

“The evil energy soars into the sky but has no dim and turbid meaning. It's really strange. Could it be that a sober ghost can grow out of this nameless evil land?”

After thinking for a while, the middle-aged Taoist stretched out two fingers and took out a narrow yellow paper talisman from his sleeve and began to chant.

Whoosh～

After chanting a few words, the yellow talisman ignited without fire between his fingers.

Then, the strange Taoist held the banner in one hand and raised the talisman in the other, pacing into the dark Dark Forest ruins.
