Xue Lingxiu was caught off guard and slid onto the sword. A hurricane roared, yellow sand filled the air, and the scenery changed. Behind him, the Sword Sect members were chasing him fiercely, shouting, "Don't run! Stop!"
“…” He tried to hold it in, but in the end, he couldn’t stand it anymore and complained in disbelief: “Your trick is too bad, isn’t it?!”
"Where's the rotten thing?"
Yun Xian poured all her spiritual energy into her sword. Now at the ninth level of the Golden Core, she was no match for the day before. She was running even faster. As she ran, she waved to Feng Ye and his men on the hillside to hurry up. "Lingshan, go ahead."
Qiao Lingshan flew forward.
Xue Lingxiu was full of wind: "Isn't this bad?!"
It's so bad that it makes people laugh and cry. Every time I think about it, I feel like I'm insulting my IQ. What's even worse is that Liu Shi was actually deceived. The water in his brain has affected his normal life, right?
"Even bad moves depend on who you're fighting against. I call this teaching according to the student's aptitude." Yun Xian said confidently, "If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn't dare. Not everyone is like Liu Shi, who insists on reciting the names of his moves before a fight."
Xue Lingxiu thought about it for a moment and felt that what he said was right, but she remained silent: "..."
Sure enough, she was not being modest when she said she was not good at academic subjects. Is this how the idiom is used?
It was obvious that she could not catch up with the group of remnants of soldiers behind her. Qiao Lingshan was worried that if Liu Shi kept chasing her, the matter might never be settled. But for some reason, Liu Shi only chased her for a few steps and then called back his men.
It looks like he has given up.
How could you give up so easily?
The three of them couldn't help but feel suspicious, but the situation couldn't be changed. Xue Lingxiu saw that Yun Xian's eyes were determined and he didn't seem to be running around randomly, so she asked, "Where are you going?"
Are there any independent cultivators in the Eastern Realm who can help?
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that Yun Xian was returning along the same route and rushing towards the battlefield where the battle between the two northwestern realms started.
As expected, Yun Xian said, "Let's go find the Buddhist land."
Qiao Lingshan: “…”
Although Yun Xian always seemed to act recklessly, his choices always made sense upon closer inspection. His inability to find Foxiang before was another matter, but now he was going to look for them. First, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but that wasn't important; the second point was what mattered.
The way they fought proved that those monks were incredibly kindhearted and wouldn't refuse anyone. If Yun Xian really wanted to come to their door and throw a tantrum, the Buddhists wouldn't refuse to help. Even if they didn't offer any major favors, it wouldn't be a bad idea to just give him a helping hand.
But the more she thought about it, the more sad she felt.
This is what it means to lack strength. There are only two of them in Jiange, and they cannot stand alone without cooperation with other realms... Alas!
I just hope that one of them can advance to the Nascent Soul stage sooner rather than later. Only a Nascent Soul expert can possess the absolute power to protect everyone in this secret realm.
Oh, except for medical training. Music training is not very good either.
Outside the secret realm, there was a suffocating silence.
Liu Chang's fingers, which were tapping the stone platform carefreely, froze. He took a few deep breaths, his chest rising and falling, and closed his eyes, unable to bear to watch any longer.
it turns out……
it turns out!
Liu Shi, you idiot!
As his grandson, Liu Chang naturally knew Liu Shi's character. He knew he wasn't bright, but at least he had enough brains. If he had planned things out ahead of time, there wouldn't have been any problems. He hadn't realized...why had he thought he was smart enough in the first place? How embarrassing!
"Are you okay, Senior Liu?" Li Peimei's eyes were filled with worry as she leaned over and asked, "How old is your son this year?"
Liu Chang: "Why are you asking this?"
Li Pei said with concern: "If the child is still young, seize the opportunity to have another one."
Liu Chang's veins bulged, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You don't have to worry about it!"
The two of them were fighting passionately, and over there, Master Mingguang was beating the wooden fish. Seeing that Yun Xian was fine, Su Chi started to wipe his sword again. Each of them had his own little world, which was very peaceful.
"..." Liu Chang assumed Yun Xian had no idea about the jade seal, and that she had taken it along unintentionally. Even if she knew, would she have the ability to set it on fire?
Liu Shi had no idea that he had been scolded in his mind by his own grandfather, but with a sullen face, he told all the disciples of the Sword Sect to return to the sand cave to recuperate and accumulate energy, and then set off again after they recovered.
Liu Hui gritted his teeth, still unwilling to give in: "Brother, these people swept away almost all our supplies... not even a blade of grass was left!"
When he said "not even a blade of grass will be left", he was not exaggerating at all. He really meant that every blade of grass would be pulled out.
Even the most outrageous thief has never seen anything like this. You wouldn't feel bad if it wasn't your own stuff, right?
Liu Shizheng slowly sprayed the powder onto his wound. The powder was crimson in color, and as soon as it was applied to the wound, it emitted a sizzling sound and emitted white smoke. The edges immediately turned black, but the effect was remarkable. The bleeding stopped, and the wound, deep enough to see the bone, slowly healed.
Even though he was in obvious pain, Liu Shi remained calm and just smiled softly, "Do you think I, Liu Shi, am so stupid?"
Liu Hui: "...Uh, but, even the imperial seal..."
I didn't feel that way at first, but after what happened just now, I actually felt a little stupid. What should I do?
This is not a good idea.
How could Liu Shi not see the flicker in his eyes? He couldn't hold it back and almost got angry. In the end, he forced himself to suppress it, and a subtle and smug smile appeared on his face.
"Even if I gave her the Jade Seal, would she know what it was? Even if she did, would she know how to light it?" Liu Shi sneered. "Do you know why I placed the Giant Lin Flower in the most prominent position? Although it's rare, compared to other things, it's not precious at all."
Liu Hui was startled and raised his eyes suddenly: "Could it be?"
"Even if the worst happens and someone breaks into the camp and steals the magic weapon, I will make sure they never return. Furthermore, the jade seal can't remain in the storage ring for more than a moment. Once the time is up, it will continue to glow. If she runs around with it, she'll be a sitting duck. If she wants to hide it somewhere, with the hidden guidance of the chalcedony, we'll know where it's gone." Liu Shi tossed the powder and stood up coldly. "Right now, we shouldn't worry about these petty thieves, but Qi Xingye. The other bald donkeys don't matter. As long as we catch him, the Western Territory won't have anything to fear."
Are Liu Shi’s things so easy to get?
“………”
At this time, Yun Xian was still leading everyone to the battlefield.
I don't know why Liu Shi didn't finish him off after seriously injuring Qi Zhiye. Given Foxiang's peaceful nature, if he could force Qi Zhiye out of the secret realm, this obstacle would be easily solved.
Yun Xian thought, maybe this guy couldn't help but talk too much nonsense again, that's just his personality.
While flying on the sword, Yun Xian noticed Qiao Lingshan secretly glancing at her, "What's wrong? Tell me if you have something to say."
"You've actually reached the ninth level of the Golden Core." Qiao Lingshan had always been competitive, and now seeing Yun Xian suddenly widen the gap between them, she felt worse than death. "But it's okay, I'll surpass you soon."
"Fellow Daoist Xue is already in the Nascent Soul stage, why don't you say anything?" Yun Xian suddenly had an idea. "Do you look down on medical practitioners? Do you look down on auxiliary practitioners? Do you look down on Xue Lingxiu?"
How could she say that? Qiao Lingshan immediately denied it: "! How could I not!!"
Feng Ye said weakly: "Well, actually, I am also very strong even in the Nascent Soul stage..."
"Strong, how strong?" Yun Xian asked, "I can peel ten apples at once."
Feng Ye was anxious: "You you you you...!"
"Yun Xian, stop teasing them. Look at the road carefully. Where are you going?" Xue Lingxiu was exhausted and didn't want to participate in the debate between the three children. She frowned and said, "How can we find the Buddhist land? We haven't even figured out where we are in such a short while."
Yun Xian calmed down and said, "Just look for the bald guy."
It's shiny and easy to find in the desert because it reflects light.
In reality, Yun Xian was still thinking about something else. Although it had been a long time since Zhong Changyao was slapped away, Jimo Shu hadn't appeared in public during this period. According to the rules of the storybook, the two of them wouldn't have run into each other again somewhere.
...So why did Jimo Shu slap him then? Did she already know Zhong Changyao's name? Or did she know about his engagement and think he was shameless, daring to seduce her when he already had a fiancée?
I can't figure it out, but it's good to fan it anyway, so fan it a few more times.
After walking for a while, they didn't find the shiny bald head, but instead found a shiny peacock.
Qi Zhiye was bleeding from all seven orifices, two of his limbs were broken, and he lay facedown in the sand, unconscious for who knows how long. The yellow sand, carried by the wind, covered his ankles. If it had been another incense stick, he might have been buried.
There was no one around. The other monks were all gone. No one knew where they had gone, leaving the leader here.
Since Qiao Lingshan entered the secret realm, she had never seen such serious injuries. She was immediately shocked, but when she was halfway shocked, she remembered that Feng Ye was fainting from blood behind her, and she felt that she had no right to be shocked.
Feng Ye had now mastered the miraculous skill of not fainting on the spot. He held the zither, his face pale and his legs weak. "Is this...death?"
Yun Xian stopped and went over to feel the breath first.
He's still breathing, so he's not dead, but he's probably not far from death.
This reckless fighting style will lead to endless troubles. You can ignore the injuries during the battle, but you can't ignore them later.
Xue Lingxiu stood far away and showed no intention of coming over.
"Hey, some porridge and side dishes!" Yun Xian waved at him, "The whole banquet is about to spill, come and help!"
Xue Lingxiu's forehead veins popped up: "…………"
At this time, the importance of having a medical practitioner in the team becomes apparent.
Xue Lingxiu was a kind-hearted doctor, so no matter how reluctant he was, he still came over. After that, he turned the man over to the front. Yun Xian was afraid that he couldn't see clearly, so he carefully wiped the sand and blood off Qi Zhiye's face, revealing an extremely gorgeous face.
Xue Lingxiu felt that his patience with this swordsman was growing every day.
He took a quick look at the situation, pondered for a moment, and prepared to act. Yun Xian hadn't expected that what he pulled out from his waist wasn't a needle box, but a rather small golden abacus, only slightly larger than the longevity lock. Xue Lingxiu placed her soft fingertips on the beads, glancing sideways at Qi Xingye, whose life or death was unknown, and quickly dialed the number:
"Reattaching a broken limb costs one thousand spirit stones."
"Internal injuries and blood stasis, two thousand."
"Cartilage restoration, five hundred. Spiritual energy transfer, five hundred. Acupuncture treatment, five hundred."
Yun Xian: “…”
Qiao Lingshan: “…”
Feng Ye: “…”
"What a pity." Xue Lingxiu calculated everything, put away the abacus, took out a piece of paper, and wrote a long list of bills. She then taped it to Qi Zhiye's neck, intending to ask for it back from Foxiang later. She didn't know what the special material of the bill was, but she couldn't tear it off. "If his injury was a little less serious, I could break both of his legs to treat him. I lost two thousand spirit stones. What a loss."
"Brother Xue." Yun Xian couldn't help but sigh, "Really, you deserve to be rich."
Xue Lingxiu snorted coldly, then bent down and began to give acupuncture.
Everyone rested for a while and didn't even notice that a huge, transparent spider slowly crawled out of the sand river in the distance.
It's not really transparent, it's more like it changes color with the ground. Even though the human eye is fixed on it, it seems as if its attention can be forcibly diverted and it is impossible to stare at it no matter what.
The spider's body was only the size of a wine gourd, and its eight huge tentacles were abnormally deformed and hard, covered with needle-like hairs, and it made no sound when it moved.
A ten-tailed rabbit, easily frightened, was drinking water by the lake, its long ears twitching as it vigilantly observed its surroundings. At the slightest sound, it would bolt and dive into its burrow.
This is its only advantage in surviving in the secret desert. It can quickly capture even the slightest sound.
But this time, something fatal went wrong. The spider inched closer and closer to him, and he was completely unaware until its tentacles penetrated his ear canal, causing him to suddenly stiffen.
After a moment, the tentacles were pulled out, and the Ten-Tailed Rabbit's eyes had turned pure white as it fell limply to the ground.
The spider had a taste of its brain, but still felt unsatisfied. Its countless rotating eyes slowly moved towards Yun Xian and his group, with blood-red eyes.
It smells.
There, there is the smell it likes.
“…”
Qi Zhiye slowly woke up after a stick of incense had burned.
When he woke up, his vision was still blurry and bloodshot, his whole body was in extreme pain, his mind was blank, and he didn't know where he was. He only felt the wind rushing past his body, making it extremely bumpy.
The wounds on his body seemed to have been roughly treated, and his legs had been reconnected. Some spiritual energy that did not belong to him remained in his empty dantian. Behind his ears, two people were arguing:
"Fellow Daoist Xue, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you shouldn't act like this. How can you take advantage of someone in distress? Everyone's watching. How can I have the nerve to ask the masters for spirit stones later?"
"Miaoshou Sect has always clearly marked its price. It's a well-known fact. If you can't afford the treatment, then don't treat it. If you don't want it, I'll go get it."
"You can't say that. You have to consider this. He beat Liu Shi like a dog. Isn't that considered a hero?"
"You'll understand when you're a little more mature. ... Can you please stay out of my noisy adult affairs?"
The wind and waves were flowing, and the ground was shaking violently. Qi Zhiye was already dizzy, and now he was shaken a few more times. He felt nauseous and opened his mouth to vomit.
"Hey, hey, hey, young man, bear with it for a while." Yun Xian looked around and covered his mouth skillfully, "Spit out three hundred swords."
