"It's just a small favor, you don't have to be polite, young lady." Chen Yang waved his hand and said in a flat tone.

"I'd like to ask for your name, sir?" asked the girl in red.

"My name is Chen Yang, just a casual cultivator." Chen Yang smiled faintly and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"So it's Master Chen. I, Li Qingge, am accepted as an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect."

The girl in red, Li Qingge, bowed slightly, with a hint of caution in her tone.

Casual cultivator?

She had never seen that casual cultivator have such a skillful sword-controlling technique!

There was also the extremely ingenious control of spiritual energy, with no signs of it escaping from beginning to end.

Even she, a genius who has been praised since childhood, can't do this!

Chen Yang naturally noticed Li Qingge's vigilance, but he didn't care. He just smiled and said.

"Miss Li, there's no need to be so. I just happened to be passing by here."

Li Qingge felt a little relieved after hearing this, but he still didn't let down his guard completely.

After all, people in the world of immortal cultivation are treacherous. Who knows if Chen Yang has ulterior motives?

"Mr. Chen, why are you in the Xuanling Mountains?" Li Qingge asked tentatively.

"To be honest, I am looking for a magical medicine to refine a pill to help me break through the realm." Chen Yang said half-truthfully.

"Mr. Chen, are you here looking for elixirs?"

Li Qingge's beautiful eyes moved around with a look of scrutiny.

"I wonder what kind of elixir it is. Perhaps I've seen it in some ancient book before."

She is not an ungrateful person, it's just that Chen Yang's situation is too special.

He inexplicably appeared in the depths of the Xuanling Mountains, where few people can reach.

Moreover, not long after they appeared, the group of dark leopards appeared directly, even though they had already placed drugs that could interfere with the smell around them before they took action!

The most critical point.

A casual cultivator who is only in the initial stage of foundation building can possess such exaggerated combat power and the ability to control spiritual energy.

Li Qingge doesn't consider himself a smart person, but he is definitely not a stupid person.

She didn't dare to trust him until she was sure that Chen Yang was just passing by unintentionally.

Chen Yang naturally understood Li Qingge's implication; she was simply trying to probe him. He didn't get angry, but simply smiled faintly and said.

"Miss Li, you may not know that the cultivation method I practice is somewhat special and requires some relatively rare body-refining elixirs, such as..."

He paused deliberately, observing Li Qingge's expression. Seeing that she had indeed pricked up her ears and looked as if she was listening attentively, he continued.

"For example, the condensed beads on the thousand-year-old blood vine, and the nine-petal lotus growing on the lightning-struck tree."

"The beads on the thousand-year-old blood vine, the nine-petal lotus on the lightning-struck tree..."

Li Qingge repeated the two names in a low voice, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She had indeed heard of these two kinds of spiritual medicines. Both were the main ingredients for refining rare body-refining pills and were extremely rare.

"Could it be that Master Chen is practicing the legendary body-building technique that involves risking one's life?"

Li Qingge asked tentatively, with a hint of curiosity in his tone, if Chen Yang was really practicing the body-building technique.

That would explain the powerful fighting ability he had displayed before.

After all, the body refining method at a low level is indeed much stronger than that of a normal cultivator.

But the pain involved is something that ordinary people cannot understand.

The Chen Yang in front of her looked fair and tender, and his temperament was like a gentle and jade-like gentleman. He really didn't look like a person who practiced physical cultivation.

Chen Yang smiled faintly, neither admitting nor denying, just laughed it off and said.

"Miss Li, please forgive me for laughing. The technique I practice is just a special one. It can't be considered a legendary magical skill."

"Mr. Chen, you're joking. There are tens of thousands of martial arts in this world, and all of them that can be called top-notch have their own unique features. Since Mr. Chen was able to embark on the path of cultivation with this, I think he is no ordinary person."

Li Qingge covered her mouth and chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in her tone.

Chen Yang was a little embarrassed by Li Qingge's sudden teasing. The little girl changed her expression faster than turning the pages of a book.

He was on high alert before, but now he acts as if nothing happened. I don’t know what he is planning.

He coughed lightly and said.

"Miss Li, you're joking. I'm just lucky. But Miss Li has already entered the late stage of foundation building at such a young age. I think her future achievements will be limitless."

"Mr. Chen, you are too kind. My humble cultivation is not enough to stand in front of you."

As Li Qingge spoke, he deliberately looked Chen Yang up and down, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

As a martial arts fanatic, now that she was more or less sure that Chen Yang did not approach her with premeditated intent, she really wanted to have a few exchanges of moves with Chen Yang.

Both of them used swords, and Chen Yang's sword-wielding skills just now made her a little greedy.

Chen Yang laughed in his heart. This little girl was really merciless. He could see that although Li Qingge looked gentle and lovely on the surface.

But in fact, he is a man who likes to play tricks on people.

But he was happy to have a few words with the other party.

After thousands of years of pure cultivation, when he was at the peak of his practice, everyone around him always treated him with respect.

And when you are at your lowest point, you will be ridiculed and mocked.

This kind of casual chat with friends was something Chen Yang hadn't experienced in a long time.

"Miss Li, you're joking. My humble cultivation level cannot withstand such praise. Let's get down to business. Does Miss Li have any clues about these two magical herbs?"

Chen Yang decided not to beat around the bush with her anymore and asked directly.

Seeing that Chen Yang stopped arguing with her, Li Qingge also put away her joking thoughts. She pondered for a moment and said.

"You're right, I've actually heard about these two kinds of spiritual medicines from cultivators who entered Xuanling Mountain."

"It is said that the thousand-year-old blood vine grows in a bloody place deep in the Xuanling Mountains."

"And the Nine-Leaf Lotus grows deep in the ancient southeast wind of Xuanling, in a canyon shrouded in thunderclouds, a wonder of heaven and earth."

"These two places are extremely dangerous. Ordinary cultivators dare not set foot there."

"The bloody land, the thundering canyon..." Chen Yang repeated the two place names in a low voice, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

In a small mountain range, only ten thousand feet high, there are now no less than three extremely unique landforms.

There must be some terrifying formation here, otherwise this situation would never have happened!

But such an obvious situation did not attract those holy places and large groups to rush to loot?

What is going on here?

Chen Yang frowned, vaguely feeling that there seemed to be some secrets hidden here that he didn't know.

"Since Master Chen wants these two spiritual herbs, we can cooperate."

Just as Chen Yang was thinking about the reason, Li Qingge's clear voice came again.

And when he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Chen Yang.
