Venerable Poyue raised his head, his eyes trembling as he gazed at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow and said leisurely, "Why are you going back on your promise that you just made?"
Venerable Broken Moon pursed his lips, the figure he had been longing for flashing through his mind, and finally asked, "What do you want me to deliver?"
Qi Yu entered the space and found the Pegasus Flying Cloud, who was leisurely grazing. He said reluctantly, "Flying Cloud, it seems that we are not destined to be together. From now on, you should continue to go back to Chief An's place."
She dissolved the contract with Feiyun, stroked the celestial horse's mane one last time, and took it out of the space.
"Your Excellency, I was entrusted by An Yao, the head of the Wucheng An Yao Escort Agency, to take this celestial horse to protect his daughter. However, I couldn't resist the temptation to risk my life, so I beg you to help me return this celestial horse."
Feiyun seemed to know that he was about to be sent back to Anyao Escort Agency. His horse hooves pounded on the ground, unwilling to leave Qi Yu's side.
Qi Yu sighed, gently stroking Fei Yun's head, looking into Tianma's beautiful eyes, and whispered, "Let's go back, okay?"
Feiyun whimpered a few times, nuzzled Qi Yu's head, and walked towards Venerable Poyue.
Venerable Poyue took out a spirit beast pouch, put Feiyun inside, and then took a few more steps to walk out of the small house.
Seeing this, Qi Yu quickly grabbed him and asked, "Venerable One, are you leaving now?"
Venerable Poyue blushed slightly and said, "That's right."
"Oh...then there's no time to lose, Your Excellency, you should go quickly." Qi Yu's eyes darted around, and he said with a smile, "Also, Commander Hua has a fiery temper, so please don't tell anyone that I was the one who told you her location."
Venerable Poyue nodded, said no more, and, still wearing his wet robes, took out his flying artifact and headed towards the Vermilion Bird Kingdom.
Qi Yu turned to look at the flames in the pit and breathed a sigh of relief.
They escaped unscathed.
With Venerable Poyue gone, Xu Canglang couldn't possibly force her to undergo any body tempering, could he?
Feng Xiao looked at Qi Yu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why is Xiao Yu so happy?"
Qi Yu waved her hand, "This is called the thrill of skipping class, you wouldn't understand."
She hummed a few lines of a song leisurely and swaggered out of Venerable Broken Moon's cave.
Curious, she glanced again at the "automatic door" at the exit of Venerable Poyue's cave. Turning around, she was met with a beautiful red figure.
Qi Yu paused, then nodded and said, "Greetings, Fairy Red Lotus."
The visitor was none other than Fairy Red Lotus. She was carrying a food box, nodded to Qi Yu, and then stepped forward to knock on the door.
Qi Yu couldn't help but watch from the sidelines for a while, being quite gossipy.
If the story of Hua Nongying and Poyue Zunzhe were written into a book, Honglian Fairy would definitely be a scheming second female lead.
Despite all her scheming, Fairy Red Lotus still failed to win over Venerable Broken Moon's heart. Venerable Broken Moon had just been persuaded by her to pursue true love.
She can't even get into Venerable Poyue's house; this second female lead is really having a tough time.
Qi Yu shook her head with a sigh. At that moment, Fairy Red Lotus suddenly looked at her.
"Your name is Sheng Yan, right?"
The Red Lotus Fairy only called her by the last two characters of her pseudonym. Qi Yu almost didn't react and quickly nodded, saying, "Yes."
The Crimson Lotus Fairy approached, her red lips slightly parted, and asked, "Why did you come out of Venerable Broken Moon's cave just now? I remember you are the sect leader's disciple?"
Qi Yu said, half-truthfully, "Venerable Canglang brought his disciple to borrow Venerable Poyue's Crimson Flame Tempering Chamber, but just now, Venerable Poyue suddenly kicked the disciple out. It seems he was about to leave, and I don't know if he has already left."
"I see... then it seems he's no longer here." Fairy Red Lotus pondered for a moment, then smiled at Qi Yu and pointed to the food box in her hand, saying, "I have some freshly made pastries here. Since he can't eat them, I'll give them to you."
She stuffed the food box she was carrying into Qi Yu's arms, turned around, and walked away.
Qi Yu held the food box, opened it, and saw several exquisitely made pastries inside, clearly the result of a lot of hard work.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
She picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, and savored the lovingly prepared pastry for a while before descending the mountain in a cheerful mood.
...
As expected, the meteor arrived at night. When he arrived, Qi Yu was cultivating, so he did not disturb him.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qi Yu awoke from his deep meditation and slowly exhaled.
The grueling training she underwent these past few days has had some effect; she's absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth much faster now, and it won't be long before she breaks through the early Foundation Establishment stage and reaches the middle Foundation Establishment stage.
Meteor sat quietly at the table, waiting.
Qi Yu stood up and asked, "Of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—which one do you wish to activate today?"
Meteor took a deep breath, looked earnestly into Qi Yu's eyes, and said, "Senior Sister, I want to activate all my spiritual roots today."
"Hmm?" Qi Yu frowned and asked, "Why so hasty? Can you handle it?"
"I can handle it," Meteor said in a low voice. "I think I should cultivate even faster."
Seeing his appearance, Qi Yu didn't try to persuade him further. She said, "Then I'll help you activate your wood spirit root first. Wood spirit power can enhance your physical fitness. Then I'll activate the other three spirit roots."
Meteor nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
A faint green spiritual energy shone in Qi Yu's hand. She hadn't learned many spells using wood spiritual energy, so she could only use pure spiritual energy with some wood spiritual energy to attack.
"I'm starting."
After saying that, the spiritual energy flew towards the shooting star.
Throughout the night, various spiritual energies flashed continuously in the small thatched hut on Star Moon Peak, and low groans of pain could be heard from time to time, which gradually subsided in the latter half of the night.
...
Qi Yu sat listlessly at the table, sometimes casting a burst of spiritual energy at Liu Xing, and sometimes using a healing technique to heal Liu Xing's battered body.
There was a pile of empty pill bottles at her feet, some were Rejuvenation Pills and some were Rejuvenation Pills.
Meteor knelt on the ground, his whole body soaked in sweat, breathing heavily.
As yet another spiritual attack struck him, he finally felt a sensation of his entire body's energy channels being opened.
Meteor forced himself to sit up, and the five invisible spiritual meridians of various colors within his body were completely opened, expanding the channels for communicating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to the extreme.
The air inside the small thatched hut suddenly vibrated violently as countless invisible spiritual energies of heaven and earth surged into the boy's body, repairing his weakened state and reshaping his meridians.
Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew her hand, and stretched her somewhat tired body.
She tossed the pair of porcelain vases on the ground back into her storage ring, planning to refine more pills to make up for it next time.
She paid a considerable price to recruit this future villain as her follower.
After a while, the spiritual energy in the room gradually calmed down, and Meteor opened his eyes.
His eyes shone brightly, and his aura had changed dramatically.
Qi Yu smiled and said, "You've reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, right?"
When she activates a spiritual vein, her cultivation level rises by one level with each one she activates, which is likely a characteristic of chaotic spiritual roots.
Meteor stood up, about to speak, when a dark shadow suddenly flashed past the window!
