"Poyue! What's wrong with you!"

The Red Lotus Fairy hurriedly supported Venerable Broken Moon, who had fainted after applying blood, and anxiously shook his body, asking him questions.

The elders nearby were startled by what they saw.

"Fairy Fanglin, come quickly and see! Venerable Poyue has vomited blood!"

Fanglin Fairy, the medical elder of Xingxing Peak, pushed through the crowd. Her face was elegant and she exuded a sense of compassion, but her actions were completely contrary to her appearance.

She frowned, pulled Venerable Broken Moon's wrist from Fairy Red Lotus's embrace, and placed it heavily on top of her.

Fairy Fanglin closed her eyes and sensed for a while. After a moment, she shook off his hand and said coldly, "It's nothing. You were too emotional and your blood rushed to your head. You'll feel better once you vomit it out."

After saying that, she was about to walk away again when Fairy Red Lotus grabbed her, her tone somewhat urgent: "Is it that simple? Po Yue is only at the Nascent Soul stage, how could he vomit blood and faint just from emotional excitement?"

Fairy Fanglin glanced at her sideways and said in a emotionless voice, "So what if a Nascent Soul cultivator coughs up a couple of mouthfuls of blood? Are you worried about it? If you are, then feed him two pills yourself and stop bothering me."

The Red Lotus Fairy was speechless, her beautiful face turning slightly dark as she watched the Fragrant Forest Fairy turn away with a flick of her sleeve.

She looked upset, so the other elders tried to smooth things over, saying, "Never mind, that's just Fanglin's temper, you know that."

"Hey, look, Poyue has woken up."

Venerable Broken Moon pushed Fairy Red Lotus away with his eyes closed, his aura somewhat low.

The Red Lotus Fairy looked at him with surprise, not noticing that he pushed her away as soon as he woke up.

"Poyue, what's wrong with you just now? Is something on your mind?"

Venerable Broken Moon held his forehead, his voice magnetic and charming, yet it was like a bucket of cold water poured over Fairy Red Lotus's head.

"Don't get so close to me, it smells terrible."

The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The Red Lotus Fairy's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and after a long while she smiled again, "If you don't like the sachet I'm wearing today, then I'll change it."

She reached out and forcefully pulled off the sachet embroidered with a full moon from her waist, lit a ball of fire in her hand, and burned the sachet to ashes.

"Okay, that's enough smoke, right?"

Venerable Poyue pinched the bridge of his nose and turned his gaze toward the water mirror in the council hall.

Not embarrassed by the lack of a reply, Fairy Red Lotus naturally stood beside him again and looked at the water mirror together.

But her gaze gradually darkened.

...

Qi Yu had no idea that the "master" she had casually made up had garnered so much pity and lamentation, and had even caused a farce.

At this moment, she was busy working with Ren Pingsheng to deal with several spider-like monsters.

The spider was about half a person's height, covered in purple bristles, and could spit out a kind of highly viscous silk. If you accidentally touched it, you would get stuck and it would be difficult to deal with.

During the fight, Qi Yu also noticed several humanoid "mummies" wrapped in layers of spider silk not far away.

Those "mummies" were still struggling to move, so they must still be alive.

However, they did not sound the distress bell, whether due to mobility issues or unwillingness to be eliminated.

Qi Yu nimbly dodged the spider's silk, then used a fire-igniting technique to burn the silk to ashes. She even had a moment to spare to consider whether to save the spider or not.

Well, since today's task isn't finished yet, I'll just help them out and maybe boost my favorability with the elders of the Flying Star Sect.

"Young Master Ren, let's finish this quickly!"

After saying that, she quickly formed a hand seal, and three blazing fire swords appeared behind her, with a few faintly bright red flames mixed in among them.

"Behold my triple blast of fire sword!"

The three swords were fired simultaneously, each aimed at one of the three demonic spiders.

With a loud "boom," the spider screamed and turned to ashes.

Ren Pingsheng also used vines to bind the remaining two demon spiders, rendering them unable to move.

Qi Yu walked over and burned the remaining two demonic spiders to ashes with a single burst of fire.

Ren Pingsheng laughed and said, "Miss Yu has quite a few tricks for starting fires."

Qi Yu, who secretly mixed the Phoenix Spirit Fire into the ordinary flames of the Ignition Technique, said: "Haha, not at all, it's just so-so."

She changed the subject, walking towards the mummies who were either dying or their movements were gradually decreasing because they knew there was a rescue coming.

"Get these people out of here, don't let them suffocate."

Ren Pingsheng nodded, "I'll have to trouble Miss Yu to use her spiritual fire to remove these spider webs again."

Qi Yu used a simple fire-igniting spell to burn away the spider silk covering the first "mummy" in front of him, bit by bit.

Beneath the spiderweb was a woman in her early twenties. Her face was flushed red, her limbs were stiff and she couldn't move, and her eyes were filled with tears.

She said in a trembling voice, "Thank you so much for saving me, young lady. This spider silk can paralyze your hands and feet. I couldn't reach the call bell and I thought I was going to die here. Thank you so much."

"No need to thank me. Even if I hadn't come, the people from the Flying Star Sect would have come to save you."

Qi Yu burned off the spider silk on her body and then went to burn the next person.

"My name is Qin Zhao." The woman gradually regained her senses and pointed to the man whose face was showing under Qi Yu's hand. She said, "This is Zhao Si, my teammate. We didn't come here to provoke the Silk-Spitting Spider, but we were lured here by a group of weasel demons. Those weasels were too cunning and woke up the sleeping Silk-Spitting Spider. We were caught off guard and that's how we got trapped."

As they spoke, Qi Yu cleaned the spider silk off Zhao Si's body.

She walked to the last "mummy" and stared at the butterfly hairpin on the ground, which was crushed and misshapen, for a while.

Zhao Si stared at the clothes that Qi Yu had burned a hole in, and instead of thanking Qi Yu for saving him, he said in a very bad tone, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and save her too."

Qi Yu sighed softly, picked up the familiar, pale purple butterfly hairpin from the ground, and said, "I also want to save her, but I just used up all my spiritual energy. What should I do?"

Qin Zhao exclaimed "Ah!" and said anxiously, "What should we do? Neither Zhao Si nor I have fire spirit roots."

Zhao Si roared, "Hurry up and eat the Rejuvenation Pill! Didn't the Flying Star Sect give us Rejuvenation Pills?!"

Ren Pingsheng walked up to Qi Yu, standing between her and Zhao Si. His expression also turned indifferent. "Brother, let's speak properly."

"Human life is at stake, how can you expect me to speak politely!"

"Sigh." Qi Yu pushed Ren Pingsheng aside, frowned slightly, and said to Zhao Si with difficulty, "This time the elixir is so precious, there are only two, I can't eat them easily. It's only the first day, what if we encounter a powerful monster later?"

Before Zhao Si could object, she kindly suggested, "How about this, since this person is your teammate and the points will be split equally between you two, either of you can give me a bottle of Rejuvenation Pills."

Qin Zhao stammered, "I've already eaten mine, Brother Zhao..."

All eyes turned to Zhao Si, who had just been shouting for help.

Zhao Si: "..."
