Long Ying chuckled dryly and said, "Since that's the case, then it's all a misunderstanding. We'll be going now. Senior Sister, please enjoy your meal."
The others at the table gave a few dry laughs, then quickly pulled the dazed Zhu Yue away.
Suddenly, only Qi Yu's table remained in Ling Shan Tang.
Qi Yu was enjoying himself and picked up the half-eaten chicken wing to continue eating.
She sighed softly. In a little while, she would be going with Xu Canglang to the Crimson Flame Tempering Chamber of Venerable Poyue. She had just unintentionally revealed her slightly rebellious side in front of Venerable Poyue, and she was actually a little nervous.
Bai Huan felt uneasy at her sigh and said weakly, "Little Yan'er, have you been under too much pressure lately? Why don't you ask the sect leader for permission to rest for a while?"
Qi Yu placed the cleaned chicken bone on the table and said seriously, "How could that be? I love cultivation, and cultivation loves me."
Bai Huan and Liu Xing: "..."
Qi Yu took out a handkerchief, slowly wiped her hands clean, tidied the table, stood up and said, "Alright, you guys keep up the good work, I'm leaving now."
She took a few steps, then, as if remembering something, turned back and asked, "Meteor, how is your recovery going?"
Meteor said, "Senior Sister's medicine is very effective; I'm fully recovered."
Qi Yu nodded and said, "That's good. Let's not delay, let's do it again tonight."
"Okay, senior sister."
Bai Huan looked at them cryptically, tilting her head and asking, "What are you talking about? Meteor, are you injured?"
Qi Yu waved his hand and headed towards Xingyue Peak first.
Upon seeing this, Bai Huan immediately grabbed Liu Xing and continued questioning him.
When Qi Yu leisurely strolled back to Xingyue Peak, Venerable Canglang was already waiting outside the small thatched hut.
His expression was a little off, and Qi Yu thought it was because he was getting impatient, so she preemptively said, "Senior brother, I just ran into some trouble, let's go now."
Xu Canglang nodded absentmindedly and walked away in another direction without saying a word.
Qi Yu stood there, scratching his head, and said, "Senior brother, isn't Hoshizaki Peak in this direction?"
Xu Canglang then came to his senses and walked back in the right direction.
Qi Yu looked at him suspiciously, then, thinking of the weak and strange Yun Gui, asked, "Senior brother, have you seen Master?"
Xu Canglang frowned and said, "Master's health has deteriorated again for some reason. I'm afraid he will need to rest for a long time."
He glanced at Qi Yu and said, "Don't worry about the spirit stones. If you need more, just come to me."
Qi Yu pursed her lips, thinking to herself that it was better to just earn her own money and spend it herself.
only……
It seems that Yun Gui's situation is indeed not good.
He was clearly very old, but he presented himself as a child. He rarely saw anyone and left almost all important matters to Venerable Canglang. He always looked extremely lazy and seemed like he could fall asleep at any moment.
During the trial in the secret realm, the demonic cultivators caused trouble, shaking the foundation of the secret realm. It was he who stepped in to stabilize the secret realm. The day before yesterday, he was also affected by Zhu Xiuzi's sudden attack of blood and qi...
Qi Yu silently prayed for him for a moment; she still quite liked this master.
Please don't hang up!
Before long, they arrived at Hoshizaki Peak.
Qi Yu followed behind Venerable Canglang, idly looking around, only to find that everyone around them avoided them.
At first, she thought it was because Venerable Canglang had a fearsome reputation, until she met the gaze of a young man who was eight feet tall but had a weak and unassuming demeanor. The young man hurriedly looked away, as if he had seen some kind of ferocious beast.
The young man led several boys who looked like his junior brothers away, his low voice carried by the breeze to Qi Yu's ears.
"Be careful, that's the sect leader's new disciple. She's incredibly fierce; she even beat up the prince of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom. Don't go near her unless necessary."
"Ah! Senior brother, she's so scary!"
"She seems to be watching us, senior brother, what should we do!"
The group noticed Qi Yu's gaze and, startled, quickened their pace, almost as if they were racing.
Qi Yu: "..."
Her hard-earned reputation was ruined in an instant.
At this moment, she really wanted to grab Zhu Yue and beat him up again.
Qi Yu rubbed his hands itchingly a few times, his gaze gradually aligning with that of Venerable Canglang in front of him.
The same fierce and menacing appearance.
Finally, they arrived at the cave dwelling of Venerable Broken Moon.
Venerable Canglang stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The oddly shaped door opened automatically.
"Wow, it's automatic." Qi Yu looked at the door in amazement and couldn't help but marvel at how amazing the weapon refiner was.
Venerable Canglang walked straight in, and Qi Yu quickly followed.
The cave was a hidden paradise, quite large in area. Venerable Canglang led her through several winding corridors and into a small room.
Venerable Broken Moon was already waiting inside.
Upon entering the room, Qi Yu felt the temperature rise sharply. In the middle of the room was a pit with a raging fire burning inside, which must be the Crimson Flame Tempering Chamber.
Venerable Canglang brought her to the location and said, "Poyue, don't use too high a intensity at the beginning. Let her adapt gradually."
Qi Yu swallowed hard, looking at the fire in the pit, and tentatively asked, "Senior brother, maybe we should just forget about it..."
Venerable Canglang said coldly, "There's no room for discussion. I have other matters to attend to and I'll be leaving now. Once you're done, you can continue your cultivation on your own."
After saying that, he abandoned Qi Yu and left.
Venerable Poyue sat on a wooden chair in the small house. He pointed to the pit and said, "Go down directly. I will control the spiritual fire in the Crimson Flame Tempering Chamber. Remember to protect yourself with your spiritual power. If you can't stand it, tell me."
Qi Yu looked at the pit with great resistance, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Venerable One, is the Seven Cold Soul Stealing very painful?"
Venerable Poyue's expression changed, and he asked, "How did you learn about this?"
Before Qi Yu could answer, he seemed to have figured it out. His eyes lit up, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips as he asked, "Did...did she tell you?"
Qi Yu looked at him subtly, thinking to herself that Venerable Poyue really did have an ambiguous relationship with Hua Nongying. She hadn't even said anything yet, and Venerable Poyue had already automatically linked this matter to Commander Hua.
Thinking of the fire in the pit, Qi Yu deliberately said, "It's like this, there was a pharmacist in the Spirit Academy where I used to stay who told us about this."
Venerable Poyue immediately became dejected. His eyes dimmed for a moment before he regained his usual ethereal demeanor and said indifferently, "I see."
“However…” Qi Yu gasped for breath, “Commander Hua did mention this as well.”
Venerable Poyue's heart tightened again. He pursed his lips and said, "Why would she tell you this? Does she often mention me?"
Qi Yu said with a wicked smile, "No, actually it's because I also contracted the Seven Cold Soul-Stealing Poison. Master Hua was worried about me and wanted me to come to you, Venerable One, to resolve this poison."
