Seeing that the two were acting as usual, Qin Xin smiled more.

Qin Xin could sense through his spiritual sense that Lin Yu and Bai Zhi's cultivation had both made considerable progress.

Lin Yu seems to have begun to condense his inner world, and once completed, he will be able to enter the Void Core Realm.

However, both Lin Yu and Bai Zhi were somewhat deficient in qi and blood, and it seemed that they both had some hidden injuries.

Qin Xin also took out some Hunyuan Pills and Jinsui Pills and handed them to the two. The Hunyuan Pills were very helpful for cultivation, while the Jinsui Pills could eliminate some hidden ailments in the body.

Seeing that Qin Xin could casually take out such precious pills, Lin Yu and Bai Zhi were slightly surprised. However, considering that Qin Xin was now in Zhongzhou, he must not lack these things, otherwise he would not have given them to the two of them.

Only then did he feel relieved enough to accept the pill.

"Where is Senior Brother Pingyun?"

Qin Xin glanced around and, not noticing Ping Yun who had been with him earlier, asked curiously.

Qin Xin had a deep impression of Ping Yun. Among the three, he was the most composed. Now, only Lin Yu and Bai Zhi remained, which naturally puzzled Qin Xin.

“Pingyun had some trouble and passed away more than a year ago.”

Upon hearing this name, Lin Yu's aura visibly darkened instantly, as if it were a past event he didn't want to recall.

Just as Lin Yu was about to say something, Bai Zhi stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and whispered to Qin Xin, "So much time has passed, and we've all moved on from our grief."

"Qin Xin should have already entered the third stage of Core Formation by now. Compared with two years ago, his cultivation speed can be described as genius."

Hearing Bai Zhi's praise, Qin Xin felt a little embarrassed. However, he was also worried about the situation of the Qin clan in Tianyuan City, so he did not linger.

"Elder Yu, Senior Sister Bai, I must return to my family now, so let's get together another day."

After bidding farewell to the two, Qin Xin also left the inn.

Seeing Qin Xin leave, Lin Yu's face showed some regret, and then she looked at Bai Zhi with a hint of complaint and said, "Bai Zhi, why did you stop me from telling you about Ping Yun's murder?"

Seeing Lin Yu's reaction, Bai Zhi shook her head helplessly. "Brother Yu, this matter has nothing to do with him. Why drag him into this mess?"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Yu naturally nodded in agreement.

"However, if I do not avenge Pingyun, I swear I will not be a man!"

Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly after looking at the Hunyuan Pill and Jin Sui Pill in the jade bottle in front of him, and his aura suddenly burst out, startling many martial artists in the inn.

After leaving the inn, Qin Xin naturally sensed that Lin Yu seemed to have something she wanted to tell him, but Bai Zhi stopped him.

Qin Xin didn't want to ask them directly, knowing that if they wanted to tell him, they would.

Moreover, Qin Xin's journey back to his family will take several days, and encountering demonic beasts along the way could further delay him.

After a brief rest in the city of Suyab, and once the Yuan energy in his inner world had fully recovered, Qin Xin flashed away from the city and flew swiftly into the forest.

With the Heavenly Phoenix Fire Wings, Qin Xin's flying speed was faster than that of ordinary Yuan Dan Realm martial artists, disturbing some demonic beasts along the way.

However, after sensing the powerful aura emanating from Qin Xin, these demonic beasts all chose to avoid him and dared not directly clash with him.

However, with the help of the Heavenly Phoenix Fire Wings, Qin Xin was able to fly at a very fast speed, but the consumption of his internal energy was also terrifying.

While resting, Qin Xin found a spot under a waterfall.

The area around the waterfall was very quiet. Qin Xin scanned the area with his spiritual sense but found no trace of any demonic beasts.

This was a very good place for Qin Xin to rest.

Danqing also emerged from the fragmented map space, bringing Xiaofeng and Xiaojin with him.

These two little ones, under Danqing's care these days, have become noticeably rounder in the belly, and their aura has become much stronger.

However, this caused great distress to the various spiritual herbs that Qin Xin had planted in the fragmented map space, as most of them were directly destroyed by these two little guys.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Feng were not exactly peaceful either. As soon as they left the fragmented map space, they sensed the presence of spiritual herbs in the vicinity and immediately clamored to go and take a look.

Qin Xin used his spiritual sense to check the surroundings and found no powerful demonic beasts, so he let the two little ones run wild.

However, before leaving, he told the two little ones not to go too far, otherwise he would lock them in the Remnant Map Space and never let them out again.

Faced with Qin Xin's threat, the two little creatures nodded their beast heads very seriously before rushing off into the surrounding area.

Before long, the terrified howls of monsters could be heard from the forest, seemingly having suffered at the hands of these two little ones.

Upon hearing this, Danqing smiled slightly. He doted on these two little ones. Although Qin Xin had a lot to say, he couldn't say anything for the time being.

After recovering through the pills, Qin Xin slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his inner world was once again filled with Yuan Power. The Yuan Power vortex that was originally running at high speed also slowly came to a stop.

"You can now learn the Heavenly Rank martial arts I mentioned before."

Danqing, whose body was floating ethereally in mid-air, looked Qin Xin up and down before speaking.

Qin Xin was in a hurry to get going, so he said somewhat awkwardly, "There are things to do in Tianyuan City right now, so why don't I wait until I return to Tianyuan City before I start cultivating?"

Little did anyone know that Qin Xin's words would provoke Dan Qing to deliver a powerful blow, but fortunately Qin Xin reacted quickly and dodged to the side.

"Do you know how much turmoil cultivating Heaven-Rank martial arts will cause? By returning to Tianyuan City to cultivate, do you want to attract the attention of the entire Eastern Wilderness?"

Danqing said with a hint of disappointment, "The cultivation of this martial art won't take you long; what you really need is the later comprehension."

"Teacher, you should have said earlier that it wouldn't take up too much time," Qin Xin said with a slight chuckle.

Seeing Qin Xin's expression, Dan Qing said helplessly, "Alright, calm down first, and I will teach you the operating circuit of this martial art."

After he finished speaking, Qin Xin obediently sat cross-legged on the ground and calmed his mind.

Danqing came to Qin Xin's side and lightly touched the top of Qin Xin's head with his illusory fingertips.

Then Qin Xin felt a massive flow of information enter his mind, along with a phantom image of a figure. As the meridians in his body were activated, this phantom image moved rapidly.

Qin Xin, who was moving very fast, tried to detect the shadowy figure with his spiritual sense, but could only detect a faint image.

"Heavenly Rank Beginner Martial Art: Flowing Cloud Step!"

After digesting all the information in his mind, Qin Xin slowly opened his eyes and uttered a soft murmur of surprise.

This beginner-level Heavenly Rank martial art, Flowing Cloud Step, once mastered, allows the martial artist to move like a gentle breeze. In combat, the martial artist can appear in unexpected locations like a ghost, without causing fluctuations in the surrounding spiritual energy.

It's fair to say that they're top-notch when it comes to escaping.

Seeing Qin Xin's surprised expression, Dan Qing's lips curled up in a proud smile as he said, "Back then, when I stole... no, when I took my strange fire, I easily escaped using this martial arts technique."

"If you successfully cultivate this Heaven-Rank martial art, it will give you an extra means of survival in the future."

Seeing Danqing's true colors, Qin Xin had no doubts whatsoever.
