Two years ago, Master Hukui and two of his good friends—Song Yuheng, a Pseudo-Core cultivator and elder of the Song Family, and Xuanfeizi, a Pseudo-Core elder of the Xuanzun Sect—traveled together to Fengyuan to hunt for treasures.
Among the three of them, Master Hukui possessed the greatest strength. He owned four quasi-Tier 3 puppets along with a large number of Tier 2 puppet beasts, giving him a combat capability that fell in no way short of an ordinary True Core Cultivator. Puppet beasts possessed the trait of fearing neither death nor hardship, making them extremely well-suited for scouting the path ahead. Song Yuheng was a quasi-Tier 3 formation master, exceptionally skilled at breaking seals and restrictions; whenever they encountered ruins or the like, it required him to step forward and act. Xuanfeizi was a body cultivator who simultaneously boasted remarkable movement speed and owned a rare, Dharma Treasure-grade Flying Boat, allowing him to make a swift escape upon encountering danger.
The combination of these three was like fish in water within Fengyuan. In a mere two years, each of them had harvested treasures worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Master Hukui had reaped even more: materials sufficient to forge two more quasi-Tier 3 puppets. With harvests like these, the three of them were naturally completely satisfied, and they decided to head back home, traveling by night and resting by day to minimize their exposure.
