"Hey! Thunder Beast!" Murong Xue appeared, carrying a huge sword!

"Why is it you again? Why is it always you? Go away! I don't have time to play with you!" Thunder Beast looked impatiently at Murong Xue as if it had just seen some annoying flies.

In the beginning, when Thunder Beast saw Murong Xue, it would get excited and wanted to tear her apart to eat her. However, it didn't expect that Murong Xue was so annoying because it never defeated her. Apart from that, the more it fought with her, the stronger she would become. In the end, it thought that it was merely looking for trouble. If it had known this before, it would never have appeared in front of her.

"Take this!" Murong Xue started the fight without hesitation, grabbing the big sword with both hands and slashing towards Thunder Beast with an enormous amount of spiritual power.

"D*mn. I said I didn't have time for this!" Thunder Beast cursed and then stood up to take Murong Xue's blow.

Half an hour later, Murong Xue was wiping her sword in her hand pleasantly, but Thunder Beast squatted aside and cried aggrievedly. It spent a lot of effort to take care of itself. But this undefeated girl who came out of nowhere actually made its body covered with wounds. In the beginning, Thunder Beast was obviously stronger. However, Murong Xue was getting increasingly stronger as they fought. Now Thunder Beast could no longer beat Murong Xue.

Since it couldn't fight Murong Xue, it chose to hide away from her. But no matter where it hid, this wicked girl could always find it and start fighting it without hesitation. Now it could only cry out loud because everything was so unfair.

"Okay, stop crying. You're so big now. Won't you be ashamed of crying?" Murong Xue said contemptuously, completely forgetting how miserable she was when she used to fight Thunder Beast.

Thunder Beast was still howling. This girl was simply a devil!

"Here!" Murong Xue took out a middle-level magical fruit from the Space and threw it to Thunder Beast.

Thunder Beast stopped crying immediately. It happily caught the magical fruit, wiped it carefully, then put it in its mouth, and tasted it carefully. Actually, it had been crying for so long for the magical fruit.

Murong Xue was going to find the next opponent. As she was walking along the way, all the beasts and birds fled. She could hardly see any fur or feather.

After a long while, Murong Xue shouted speechlessly, "Come out! I'm going to give out the magical fruits."

In just one second, Murong Xue was surrounded by spirit beasts, all of whom were spirit beasts ranging from Level 6 to Level 8. Although Xiaobai (Murong Xue gave the white ball this nickname) said that there were Level 9 mutated spirit beasts here, Murong Xue never saw them after lingering around for half a year.

Looking at a group of beasts with eyes gleaming with excitement, Murong Xue glanced at them with contempt. Obviously, she saw no sign of them just now. She then smiled, "Do you want to eat?"

The surrounding beasts nodded their heads desperately.

The smile on Murong Xue's face became even brighter. "If you want to eat, you need to fight with me."

Immediately, the expressions of the beasts looked extremely depressed.

They wanted to leave, but they couldn't bear to lose the magical fruits. But being beaten was so painful. They looked so hesitant that even Murong Xue felt sorry for them. Well, it was impossible that she would be sorry.

An hour later, the beasts were holding the magical fruits in pain, feeling pleased.

Murong Xue already ascended to the early stage of purple-level. She had been cultivating in the Space for hundreds of years and battling with high-level spirit beasts outside. Her level soared significantly. She was improving so rapidly that even Xiaobai complimented her.

Now she was qualified to walk out of the Death Forest. She didn't know what the world was like outside and where her parents were.

In the Space, Xiaobai who was shaped like a ball barely revealed its eyes. During the days in the Space, its physical body had not recovered, but it gained a lot of weight.

Murong Xue looked at it speechlessly. "Xiaobai, you won't be able to walk if you continue to eat like this. Look at the fat on your body. You're fatter than a pig."

"You are a pig…" Xiaobai's cheeks bulging, it was slurring.

Murong Xue rolled her eyes. "I want to leave the Death Forest." No matter what Xiaobai was going to say, she didn't want to wait any longer.

Xiaobai glanced at her. With her current level, she might not be bullied by people as long as she didn't meet top-class experts. "You can go out if you want, and no one will stop you."

"That's it? Don't you have anything else to say?" Murong Xue asked.

"No." Xiaobai continued to eat. After a while, it seemed to think of something and then said, "If you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better disguise yourself before you go out. Your appearance is too conspicuous."

With Murong Xue's current level, she was not strong enough to ignore everything. In the Fengyun Continent, purple-level was not the highest level. Many people liked to catch some women with strong cultivation to be the tripod furnace. They had all kinds of cheap tricks to achieve this goal.

"You mean I should disguise as a boy? But I'm afraid I'll be easily caught even if I pretend to be a boy." Murong Xue frowned.

"Didn't you open the second floor of the Nine-stage Pagoda before? There should be some spirit weapons with self-defense spiritual qi. You can look for them." Xiaobai said while nibbling at the magical fruits.

The nine-story pavilion in the Space was actually the Nine-stage Pagoda. According to Xiaobai, it was a high-grade Immortal Implement. It could be enlarged or reduced. Its main function was protection. As for the power of its protection, no one knew. Because the Nine-stage Pagoda was merely a legend, no one expected that she could see it here. Xiaobai was not completely sure. But based on the description in the legend, it was exactly the same as the Nine-stage Pagoda.

After Murong Xue ascended to purple-level, the second floor of the Nine-stage Pagoda suddenly opened. Xiaobai said that the opening of the Nine-stage Pagoda should be related to her level.

After going to the second floor, Murong Xue found that it was full of high-level spirit weapons. Murong Xue directly picked a large sword to use. The handle was carved with a phoenix pattern, and the blade was shaped like a crescent, which was about half of her height.

She tried to go to the third floor but found that there was no entrance. Even if she flew up from the outside, there was no entrance. It seemed that she could only try to improve herself, but she found that Phoenix Soaring didn't have any change since she reached purple-level. It didn't change anything no matter what method she used. In the past, every time she ascended to a new level, Phoenix Soaring would always automatically show the cultivation methods of the next level.

She asked Xiaobai, and Xiaobai said that it might be because her level was not high enough.

After listening to Xiaobai's words, Murong Xue went directly to the second floor of the Nine-stage Pagoda and began to look for useful spirit weapons.

The spirit weapons on the second floor were neatly categorized, and Murong Xue could easily see the spirit weapons, which could help one become invisible, most of which were masks. Although it was not bad to change her appearance, Murong Xue wanted to see if there were any better ones. Without knowing the situation of the outside world, she wanted to keep a low profile.

After searching for a long time, she saw a worn ring in a corner with rust stains on it, but Murong Xue did not underestimate it because her bracelet was also rusty in the beginning. Some things wouldn't show their original appearances before they recognized their owners.

Murong Xue bit her finger, dripping blood directly onto the ring. And then there was a sound like a dragon's growl.

After the bright light flashed, it immediately returned to normal. However, the ring did not change into its original appearance like her bracelet. It still looked battered. Did she hallucinate?

That was impossible. Based on the sound which was like a dragon's growl, she believed that this wasn't an ordinary ring.

She put the ring on her hand, and the ring instantly became a suitable size and fit tightly on Murong Xue's finger. She tried to take it off, but she failed.

Murong Xue tried to use her spiritual sense to detect the ring. However, she did not encounter any resistance. It seemed that she had successfully been recognized as its owner.

It was the Dragon Ring in its primary state. It could change one's gender and hide the cultivation level. It could resist attacks below level 7 at a time, and it took a long time to recover after each resistance. Other attributes had not yet been developed.

Murong Xue withdrew her spiritual sense, feeling overjoyed. Changing her gender was what she needed most right now, which indeed came in handy.

She controlled the Dragon Ring with her mind and activated the transformation function. Then she went to a mirror, looked at it, and found that it could actually cover up her feminine features. There was a faint Adam's apple in her neck, and her face still looked the same. It just became a little more handsome, with a kind of indescribable beauty that made it hard to tell whether she was a woman or man. Murong Xue was quite tall, about 1.75 meters. Fortunately, her battles with the spirit beasts outside made her whole temperament change dramatically.

Now, Murong Xue looked a little callous.

She didn't experience those actual combats in vain.

Murong Xue found a set of casual men's sportswear and put it on and then tied her hair up. She now looked like a handsome young man.

When she walked out, Xiaobai dropped the magical fruit in its hand.

"How... How did you become a man in such a short time?" Xiaobai threw itself on Murong Xue's body and was about to hit her chest.

Murong Xue pushed its paws away speechlessly and shook the ring in her hand. "I did it with this."

Xiaobai thought it was some kind of treasure, but when looking at it, Xiaobai found that it was an extremely ugly ring. Thus, it said with disgust, "What the hell is this? It's so ugly!"

Murong Xue knocked on its head and said contemptuously, "It looks much better than your chubby body." She didn't think the Dragon Ring was ugly at all. Perhaps, because the Dragon Ring was closely related to her at the moment, she could actually feel that the Dragon Ring seemed to be wailing. She was stunned, feeling that this must be a ring with a story.

...

In the depths of the Death Forest, a handsome young man dressed in strange clothes was holding an unknown creature similar to a ball in his hand. With a large sword that did not match his handsome image on his back, he was leisurely walking as if he had been wandering in the courtyard at his home.

This person was Murong Xue. Now she had walked out of the depths of the Death Forest and passed through the poisonous miasma. Fortunately, she refined a lot of detoxicating pills. Otherwise, with her cultivation at the early stage of purple-level, she would have suffered a lot. However, this fat creature, Xiaobai, didn't want to stay in the Space. It said that it felt suffocated for staying inside the Space for too long. Of course, as its contractor, Murong Xue had to protect it, and she felt that she was running out of her spiritual power several times.

After spending so much time in the Space, Murong Xue also became a qualified alchemist. She was originally an herbalist, so she was able to understand pharmacology better than the average person. She could get twice the result with half the effort when refining pills. However, in order to find her parents as soon as possible, she mainly focused all her energy on her cultivation. She only made a small achievement in alchemy. Now, she could only refine Level 6 pills, which were the high-level pills for alchemists. She needed to refine Level 7 pills if she wanted to become a master in alchemy.

"It's so boring!" Xiaobai sighed while staying in Murong Xue's arms.

Murong Xue also felt a little bored. She didn't even see a rabbit along the way, and she was eager to have a battle.

Xiaobai glared at Murong Xue. "This is the center of the Death Forest. Generally, there are many spirit beasts of Level 4 and Level 5. You're wandering around with purple-level. How can any spirit beasts dare to come out?" Xiaobai was thinking about whether it would be better to separate from Murong Xue. What was the difference between staying in Space and this?

"Can the spirit beasts detect my level? Why don't you tell me earlier?" Murong Xue instantly activated the second attribute of the Dragon Ring, suppressing her level to yellow-level.

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment. "D*mn, you can hide it? Why didn't you do it earlier?"

Murong Xue glanced at it, thinking that she was not the one to be blamed.

Sure enough, before they could go far, some bold beasts already came to them.

Standing in front of Murong Xue was a Level 5 giant-tooth beast. Only after reaching Level 6 could the spirit beasts convert languages and speak like humans, so the giant-tooth beast in front of them couldn't speak.

"Ha-ha, I finally got something to practice my skills!" Murong Xue cheerfully put down Xiaobai and pulled out the big sword.

The giant-tooth beast was furious. How could a human at yellow-level be so arrogant? The giant-tooth beast was a spirit beast relying on its power, and its speed was very fast. Many cultivators were defeated by it because of its speed.

It charged towards Murong Xue, and the two long sharp horns on its head were also one of its weapons.
