In the last life, Qi Zhiheng was a low-level cultivator with poor personal quality in the Xuanyue mainland, which was respected by martial arts. He was expelled from his home and became a small lan...
After some time, a piece of news quietly spread.
"I've heard there's a divine herb of god-level quality in some ruins in the realm of gods?"
"Yes, it's Ruyi Qingrui. She was surrounded by several divine lords, but she managed to escape in the end. We haven't been able to find her recently."
"It seems that other divine realms have also sent people to search. Let's hurry up and take a look, or we won't even be able to find a trace of the super-god-level spiritual herbs."
"Wait, I'll go with you."
Qi Zhiheng also received the news and informed his family.
Qi Zhiheng said, "I heard that a divine herb has mutated into a god-level divine herb. Does anyone want to go to the ruins of the divine realm to look for it?"
Qi Boyue wasn't interested; he didn't practice alchemy.
Qi Dong and Qi Boyue, however, were somewhat interested. A divine herb of super-god level would be fatally attractive to those who love alchemy, wouldn't it?
Finally, Qi Dong and Qi Boyang entered the ruins of the divine realm.
There are now many gods and immortal emperors in the ruins of the divine realm, but Qi Boyang and Qi Dong are not particularly prominent among them.
The divine power of this divine ruin is abundant; otherwise, there wouldn't be any super-divine herbs here.
The divine herb, at the super-god level, has developed its own consciousness and can quickly escape when it senses danger. It is a prime example of being slippery and elusive.
Qi Dong and Qi Boyang would occasionally hear news of Ruyi Qingrui in the divine realm ruins, but by the time they arrived, they would often hear that Ruyi Qingrui had escaped from the ruins.
After chasing for more than half a month, they had picked a lot of other divine herbs, but they hadn't even gotten close to the Ruyi Qingrui.
However, since the lifespan of a deity is long, Qi Boyang would be willing to spend decades, let alone half a month, for the sake of a divine herb of super-divine level.
After a three-month chase through the ruins of the divine realm, Qi Boyang finally saw the appearance of Ruyi Qingrui. Usually, Ruyi Qingrui would have already escaped before he even arrived at the location.
Qi Boyang seized the time and quickly used the laws he had comprehended to imprint his mark into Ruyi Qingrui's body.
This makes it easier for him to track and perceive in the future, which is similar to the method of marking a divine sense imprint. However, this skill is unconscious and imperceptible. Imprinting a divine sense imprint will be directly perceived by the other party. If the opponent has a strong soul, the imprint will be washed away.
The mark he imprinted is unknowable and undetectable, so no one can perceive it, let alone remove it. If the mark can't be found, how can it be removed?
This skill is his unique specialty, and even his father doesn't know how to use it.
Just like before, this divine herb escaped again, even disappearing without a trace.
Qi Boyang was just about to follow his mark to find it when the hidden mark disappeared along with Ruyi Qingrui!
Qi Boyang secretly realized his mistake; he hadn't expected that the divine herb, at the super-god level, would possess such abilities.
Fortunately, this concealment was only temporary. The super-god-level divine herb reappeared, and Qi Boyang also noticed his own mark. He wondered what the divine herb's abilities were. Just as Qi Boyang arrived at the scene, he heard that the divine herb had been captured by several divine lords, who were discussing how to divide the super-god-level spiritual herb among themselves.
Qi Dong felt a deep sense of regret: "If only I had arrived earlier, I could have participated and at least gotten a few leaves."
Upon hearing Qi Dong's words, many others echoed his agreement.
Qi Boyang didn't speak, but narrowed his eyes as he saw the still swaying Ruyi Qingrui.
If I'm not mistaken, his divine imprint wasn't on this tree, but nearby.
His divine sense spread out, surveying the surroundings, and soon focused his attention on a Celestial Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor was dressed in a blue robe. Although he was handsome, it was as if he could hide his good looks, making it difficult for people to focus their attention on him.
Qi Boyang guessed that the super-divine herb was probably not the one being divided up by the gods, but rather someone who wanted to make a fortune in silence.
Qi Boyang didn't want to compete with a group of gods for things, but he wanted to use resources to exchange for a super-god-level divine herb from this immortal emperor.
Seeing that the immortal emperor in blue was about to leave, Qi Boyang immediately followed.
Qi Dong was a little taken aback when he saw his great-grandson about to leave, but he still followed him. "Da Bao, where are you going?"
Qi Boyang said, "I'm going to catch up with some acquaintances."
This was said to others. Of course, one must keep such a divine herb in one's own hands. If others find out, they'll try to take it from him. Qi Boyang isn't stupid.
The immortal emperor in blue was about to leave when someone followed him. He wasn't sure if the person was following him or if they were going the same way, so he could only speed up his journey.
Once he was away from the crowd, the two people behind him were still following, and the Azure-Clad Immortal Emperor suddenly felt a little flustered. When he tried to continue forward, he was blocked by a barrier in front of him.
He forced himself to remain calm, turned around and bowed to Qi Boyang: "Greetings, Divine Lord. May I ask why you have stopped me on my way?"
Qi Boyang first sealed off the surrounding space to prevent the person from escaping before asking, "Where are you in such a hurry to go?"
Emperor Qingyi rolled his eyes and replied, "The super-god-level divine herbs have already fallen into the hands of the gods. We minor characters should naturally go and find other divine herbs to make up for the losses we incurred in the ruins of the god realm."
"The divine herb of the super-god level has already fallen into the hands of other god-kings? I don't think so." Qi Boyang glanced at the Azure-Clad Immortal Emperor with a hint of mockery.
The Azure-Robed Immortal Emperor froze instantly: "What are you saying, Divine Lord? Everyone saw that the Ruyi Azure Bud fell into the hands of several Divine Lords. Isn't that evidence?"
Qi Boxing smiled and said, "I don't need those pieces of evidence. I just need you to bring out the super-god-level divine herb."
"What kind of divine herb is this? I don't understand what the Divine Lord means." The Azure-Clad Immortal Emperor frowned.
Qi Boyang said, "I won't let you suffer a loss. If you give me the divine herb, I will give you pills. I have quite a few pills on hand, and I certainly won't treat you unfairly. I have another condition: the Ruyi Qingrui you possess."
"My Lord, I truly have none left. Why don't you come and search me yourself?" the Azure-Robed Immortal Emperor said helplessly.
Qi Boyang didn't believe it, so he immediately used his divine sense to search the other person's body. Surprisingly, he found absolutely nothing. Besides a set of clothes, the person had nothing at all. Not even a single storage device; it was as if he had hidden a super-divine level Ruyi Green Bud without being discovered.
Qi Boyang guessed that perhaps the Immortal Emperor and the God-level Ruyi Qingrui had signed a master-servant contract, and that Ruyi Qingrui had been taken into his dantian.
After a careful examination, he realized that his divine sense was inside the body of the Azure-Clad Immortal Emperor. This made him even more certain that Ruyi Qingrui had been subdued by this person.
Qi Boyang stopped worrying and asked directly, "Which divine realm's Immortal Emperor are you?"
The Azure-Clad Immortal Emperor thought for a moment and replied, "I am from the Realm of Unity."
Qi Boyang raised an eyebrow: "What a coincidence, I am also from the Guiyi God Realm."
Azure-robed Immortal Emperor: "..."
Before he could react, Qi Boyang said directly, "Since you are also from the Guiyi God Realm, then come back with me. My father is the Emperor of the Weird God Realm. I'll ask him to take good care of you. You should know that my father's pills are very famous in the surrounding God Realms. I'll give you a few when we get back."
"Divine Lord, I... I have other matters to attend to. How about we part ways here?" The Azure-Clad Immortal Emperor pretended not to hear Qi Boyang's words about taking him back and abruptly changed the subject.
"Where are you going? I'll go with you." Qi Boyang stepped forward and grasped the other person's wrist.
A bracelet appeared on the other person's hand.
"What is this?" The Azure-Clad Immortal Emperor's face darkened. Even if he couldn't sense it, he knew it wasn't anything good.
Qi Boyang said quite frankly, "The binding bracelet." After saying that, he put the other bracelet on his wrist.
The name itself sounded ominous, and the Azure-Clad Immortal Emperor asked with a bitter face, "What's going on?"
Qi Boyang explained, "Wearing this bracelet means that whenever you want to leave me for three miles, you will be pulled back to my side."
The Azure-Clad Immortal Emperor's face turned ashen as he tried to untie the bracelet himself, but to no avail.
Qi Boyang continued to stab him in the back: "Only I can help you open it. Otherwise, even if you cut off your hand, it won't help. If you cut off your hand, it will appear on your other hand. If you cut off both hands, it will appear on your feet. If you cut off both feet, it will appear on your neck."
Ignoring the ugly expression on the Azure-Clad Immortal Emperor's face, although this world is much more peaceful than the cultivation world, people don't fight mainly because they are afraid of causing too much damage to the surrounding area. The rule of respecting the strong has not changed.
Qi Boyang asked, "What's your name?"
The Azure-Clad Immortal Emperor was now in someone else's hands. Knowing he was no match for him, he could only reluctantly reply, "My name is Ruqing."
"My name is Qi Boyang. You'll come back with me first, and we can talk about any problems later." Qi Boyang didn't mince words and took out a pill. "Consider this my apology for keeping you tied up."
He didn't say much; after giving the compensation, he led the people back.
Qi Dong encountered other divine herbs on the way and immediately abandoned his great-grandson to dig them up.
When he thought about chasing after him, Qi Boyang had already returned with a man dressed in blue.
Qi Dong asked in confusion, "Da Bao, who is this?"
Qi Boyang said, "An acquaintance named Ruqing."
Qi Dong noticed that the two were wearing matching bracelets and immediately laughed, "You little rascal, what are you embarrassed about? You two are wearing matching bracelets, why are you still talking to your great-grandfather about being acquainted?"
Qi Boyang fell silent for a moment. This bracelet was indeed originally a lovers' bracelet. When lovers wore it, they could communicate their feelings and be teleported to each other's side in case of danger.
However, the love bracelet in his hand had been modified by Gui Qing, and its function was almost non-existent.
