"Demon Lord, please spare us! We are just insignificant ants, please have mercy on us."
Valley Master Kang Dong was already emaciated, and this trembling made it seem as if his whole body was about to fall apart. He cupped his hands and asked in a trembling voice, "Alliance Leader, how did you end up with the Demon Lord?"
"It's nothing, get up. He didn't come here to kill anyone, he's here to investigate a traitor from your area."
Zhao Xi wanted to help the old doctor up as soon as possible.
"Abandoned disciple?" Kang Dong was slightly puzzled. "Our valley hasn't had an abandoned disciple for a long time."
"It must have happened ten thousand years ago."
This is something Zhao Xi suddenly remembered when he wanted to get closer to the origin at the bottom of the abyss.
There was once a person who researched how to make ordinary creatures grow spiritual roots, and a long time ago, she and Hoshino actually facilitated this.
The three fire beasts had very good spiritual roots but were unable to cultivate, which was probably related to their ancestors being fed medicine.
Now that she had recalled it, Zhao Xi naturally took another step forward.
Perhaps after all these years, that abandoned disciple has already developed a medicine to grow spiritual roots.
The location of Apricot Blossom Valley is secluded, and the people of the valley have devoted themselves to the study of medicine, a tradition that has never been broken. It boasts a large library. Many ancient texts are contained within its magical artifacts, but the original texts remain.
Kang Dong led them into the library and quickly found the name Zhao Xi wanted: Qing Sui.
Zhao Xi could only recall a tiny bit, and more would require investigation: "The name sounds quite elegant, yet it's a witch doctor."
Kang Dong flipped through other books and recalled: "When I joined the valley, there was a saying that if you didn't listen and didn't study medicine properly, you would end up like Qing Sui. At that time, everyone thought that Qing Sui was wicked and had fallen into evil ways, and would definitely be punished by heaven. Some people said that he made medicines and ate them himself, and grew three heads and six arms. Others said that he turned into a puddle of stinking water and died long ago."
Zhao Xi thought, "He must still be alive."
Kang Dong cupped his hands in greeting, indicating that he truly did not know the whereabouts of this abandoned disciple.
Hoshino had a fiery temper; upon hearing this, he grabbed Kang Dong by the collar, intending to kill him.
.
The old man was so frightened that his eyes rolled back, and he almost peed himself.
Zhao Xi hurriedly tried to stop her: "Xingye, let go quickly. By the way, I want to know the price of the Immortal Realm's Spirit Snow Rabbit."
Hoshino awkwardly let go.
It turns out the kindergarten director's investigation isn't over yet.
The alchemy shops in Xinghua Valley are scattered throughout the lower immortal realm. In addition to finished pills, they also sell individual medicinal herbs.
In the prescription given by Wuxing, the Spirit Snow Rabbit is the main ingredient. In order to deceive everyone, this prescription is genuine; it might even have been written by Qing Sui himself.
These dedicated experts often prefer to retreat to their own secluded caves, sometimes for hundreds of years at a time.
If anyone else has encountered the same situation, it's possible they were drugged by Qing Sui, and clues can be found in them or their ancestors.
After Zhao Xi found the place and investigated it, she urged Xingye to set off for the next location.
Hoshino's face turned sour.
"What's the matter?"
"You've come here to have me be your driver."
Zhao Xi wanted to tease, "That's how it is when I go out on business with the Water God. If you don't like it, you can stay at the Star Gate."
Hoshino snorted, "Follow me!" After thinking for a moment, she said angrily, "I told you not to mention him in front of me again!"
“Young man, competition is the only way to discover your potential. If you can help your children grow spiritual roots and successfully form their cores, it won’t just be good for them. Maybe we can also use this method to quickly cultivate a large army of cultivators to fight against that Wind God?” Zhao Xi patted him on the shoulder.
"Easy for you to say! This is a cultivator! Spiritual roots aren't radishes!" Hoshino muttered.
*
Two whole days.
Zhao Xi wanted to sleep in the wilderness with Xingye, cook over a fire, and searched for information about the Immortal Realm, even going to the Middle Immortal Realm.
Hoshino: "If it really is in the Celestial Realm, then we can't go there."
The road has been blocked by the demons over there.
Zhao Xi thought that as long as Xingye could control his power, not harm cultivators, and not break the rules of the Immortal Realm, even the Demonic Sect would be fine.
It's just that the food chain is a bit cruel.
But he can actually infect animals, not eat people.
Zhao Xi shook her head: "He won't go to the Immortal Realm. He's made too many elixirs and medicines; he'll just spend his whole life hiding from people, afraid they'll steal them. This is the last place; cheer up."
The mountains and valleys turned red in autumn.
The waterfall cascades down the mountain, and the mist condenses in the air, creating two rainbows. One is deeper, the other lighter.
After confirming that there was an aura of immortals here, Hoshino led Zhao Xi to the vicinity of the waterfall.
Zhao Xi wanted to reach out and feel the waterfall.
The spiritual energy in this water is noticeably higher than in other places; this waterfall is clearly a kind of restriction.
"Who's at the door?" someone shouted from behind the waterfall.
A head popped out from the rocks behind the waterfall, looked at Zhao Xixiang, then at Xingye, rubbed its eyes, and then looked at the two of them carefully.
He suddenly let out a strange cry and retreated back into the barrier.
Zhao Xi wanted to exchange a glance with Xingye before easily crossing the barrier.
There was indeed a hidden world behind the water curtain.
Hundreds of cage-like dwellings have been built on the repaired flat ground, filled with the mingled scents of various demonic beasts. There is almost no wind in this cave, and the heavy odor lingers.
Zhao Xi felt like throwing up.
The man was dressed in rags, like a beggar, his hair a tangled mess. If one didn't know he was the witch doctor Qing Sui, one would have thought he was a madman.
"How come it's you? How did you come back to life? Wait a minute, so much time has passed, who are you? Are you ghosts?" He stared at Zhao Xixiang and Xingye, rambling on and on.
Zhao Xi didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
Hoshino, annoyed by his noise, yelled, "Shut up!"
Qing Sui then shut her mouth and just stared at him blankly.
Zhao Xi took out the prescription that Wuxing had given her: "Is this prescription yours?"
Qing took the prescription, looked at it, tore it up, pointed to a small house, and walked over first.
Zhao Xi wanted to catch up quickly.
He took out a large box containing bamboo slips. He casually handed a few to Zhao Xixiang; the prescriptions inside were largely the same.
It is marked with the date.
As expected, Qing Sui's thinking was not quite normal. After being yelled at by Xing Ye, he started to perform a pantomime and made some gestures.
Zhao Xi was speechless, but made a gesture of invitation: "Please speak, but not too much. You can only say one sentence at a time."
Qing casually fanned himself with his hand: "Ah, I'm suffocating!"
Hoshino: "One sentence."
Zhao Xi looked at him and said, "Hoshino."
Hoshino whistled, put his hands on his head, and walked outside.
Qing watched Xingye leave, then stared at Zhao Xi, looking at her carefully: "You are Rongrong, yet you are not Rongrong. Who are you? Did you come to ask me for the new formula? I can give it to you, but you have to get me some of the Great Azure Phoenix's eggshells. That Great Azure Phoenix killed so many people, it has a lot of malevolent energy, and that's exactly what I need."
It seems that Qing Sui hasn't left the country for a thousand years.
"Where should I begin explaining..." Zhao Xi thought, tapping her forehead.
