Chapter 4

She looked around and found that she was still standing in front of the small cave opening. After thinking about it, she began to walk in the southeast direction. Until it was dark, Feng Zhijiu rested on a small stone under the giant tree. She sat there, massaging her tired legs and calves.

'This forest is so vast. I walked all day and still couldn't find my way out of this forest. I'd better get into space and fill my stomach first.'

She immediately flashed into her own space and appeared in the yard of the bamboo house. Breathing in the fresh air, she felt her tired body recover. Walking into the yard, she stopped to look at her clothes.

'Eh? Why do my clothes still look clean? The ground I walked in the forest was wet and dirty. But even the shoes are clean? Um. . So weird.'

She ignored the problem of clothes and went to the orchard to pick two peaches. Then she went to the kitchen, picked up a bamboo cup and scooped some spring water in front of the bamboo house. She drank water and suddenly felt as if she had just woken up. So fresh and full of energy. Her eyes lit up and there was a look of joy on her face.

'Is this the fountain of life? It tasted sweet and my body felt good after drinking it. All tiredness is gone.'

She happily drank a full glass of spring water, then walked to the bamboo house and sat down in the lounge next to the front door. She looked up at the sky and could see the sky full of stars. It looks so beautiful and majestic.

The moon hanging in the sky looks round, big and pale blue. She sat there eating her peaches and drinking a glass of spring water, admiring the magnificent view.

'The atmosphere here is so good. I could live here and never go out. Maybe I can read all the books before I go out again? The forest is so big, it's too tiring to walk every day.'

She thought about it and decided to wait until she had read all the books and mastered all the skills in this space before leaving.

'Let's start. I'd better go out only after everything is perfectly mastered. If not, who knows how I will die. My life didn't come easy.'

In this way, she spent more than twenty years reading all the bamboo scrolls in her space, and it took another fifty years to master all the skills of the last owner of the space. Unknowingly there is one man who is already on the verge of madness trying to find his wife.

Seventy years later….

Within the space, Feng Zhijiu finally mastered the last skill left by the last master of the space. She put down the weapon she just completed and with a wave of her hand, the weapon was added to the countless weapons in the weapon room.

She came out of the blacksmith's room and took a bath in the hot spring pool. This hot spring pool is a new pool she built for bathing. Although she does not need a bath, as a former patient, she still feels that bathing is a necessary condition for good health.

She enjoyed a hot bath, then changed into a blue Hanfu with a set of blue Buyao hair accessories. She combed her hair into a simple young maiden hairstyle. Wearing a light blue butterfly pattern waist jade pendant with a long tassel under the jade.

After living in space for seventy years, she found that her body was like those of those who cultivated the Dao. She doesn't need to eat, she doesn't need to sleep and she just needs to cultivate to absorb the spiritual energy in her body.

Another thing she discovered was that everything in this space contained a very strong spiritual energy. Even a single stalk of grass can be used to refine high-level elixirs and stones on the side of the road can also be used to refine spiritual tools or talismans.

The air in this space also has a dense spiritual energy. She has practiced in space for seventy years and gained more than what ordinary people can achieve by practicing outside space for thousands of years.

This space contains billions of materials. Herbs, gems, metals, anything recorded on the bamboo scrolls, and things not recorded in them are also in this place. She only went out of space to search for herbs or spirit beasts in the black forest before bringing them into space and letting them grow.

Any beasts she brings in will happily stay in the spacious forest. Whenever she wanted to eat meat, she would go to catch a spirit rabbit or a spirit chicken. Life within the space is very pleasant and peaceful.

Now is the time to go out and understand the world. She believes that the world is very vast and huge. It took her seventy years to look at the middle and central areas of this dark forest. It is a pity that she has never encountered human beings at all, and can only see large and small spirit beasts.

Strangely, whenever she encountered dangerous spirit beasts, those beasts would run away after intimidating her. And it didn't take long for her to feel an extremely terrifying aura that rushes toward her at a very fast speed. Without a choice, she would always return to the space to hide. After she was almost caught by the terrifying aura's owner last time, she never walked out of her own space. Until today.

I hope whatever that thing is will leave this dark forest now. It has been more than sixty years since I last went out. If the master of that terrifying aura is still there, then I have no choice but to confront it head-on. Worst case scenario, I can always hide in this space.

After making a plan, she bravely stepped out of her space. Fortunately, this time she didn't feel anything around her. And the aura she was afraid of was not around. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

'So lucky. I don't need to live in my space until I die.'

Then she walked southeast, out of the middle area.
