Although Qi Zhiye did not look like a disciple from the Buddhist village, he at least kept his word and kept his promise. Xue Lingxiu reluctantly healed his injury and gave him a few high-quality spirit stones.
This was the first time he treated someone and even lost money.
Well, this isn’t the first time. Yun Xian did it twice before.
Xue Lingxiu couldn't stand Qi Zhiye, and Qi Zhiye naturally wasn't the type to flatter someone. The two of them hated each other so much that they were speechless, and their faces were as sour as two stones in a cesspool.
Qiao Lingshan was more worried about the problem of disturbing the mind that Xue Lingxiu had mentioned before. She originally thought he was joking, but it turned out to be true.
Several times, she couldn't help but stare blankly at Qi Zhiye's face. This certainly wasn't a feeling of affection or admiration; it was like a beautiful scene that one couldn't help but look at. And Qi Zhiye's ability to wrap his arm around Yun Xian's neck had shown that, despite his exquisite features, he actually had a large frame and broad shoulders. Standing next to Xue Lingxiu, he actually made her look a bit thin—and yet Xue Lingxiu was clearly one of the taller men.
However, Qiao Lingshan was not worried about disturbing her own mind, she was worried about disturbing Xue Lingxiu's mind.
It seems that Fellow Daoist Xue has been so angry that he hasn't spoken to anyone for half a day. Although he is very reserved, it is still obvious. Yun Xian is still very happy.
She told Yun Xian about this matter very solemnly, and Yun Xian's response was very pragmatic:
"You said you couldn't help but look at Fellow Daoist Qi's face?" Yun Xian patted his head and suddenly pulled out a portrait of Su Chi from his storage ring. "Clang clang clang! Look at Senior Brother for a while longer, and you'll feel better."
Qiao Lingshan: "..." So your storage ring doesn't hold anything serious, right? When did you buy it?
But it is really useful. After looking at Su Chi's portrait for a long time, I feel that Qi Xingye is not so stunning after all.
Why are all the male cultivators getting better and better looking these days? It's really strange.
Everyone took turns holding the White Tiger Seal. They'd tried various methods, including rotating it, sinking it in a lake, and burying it in the ground. They'd tried everything, but nothing worked. But if they left it anywhere, there was a chance it might be taken away by someone from another realm. So, even though it was a hot potato, they had no choice but to do it this way.
Yun Xian originally wanted to let Qi Xingye go and help kill some monsters to earn points, and see if he could dig up Zhong Changyao's body or something, until everyone was behind a loess sand castle and saw the mysterious body-building gate from afar.
Although it was only a few days, it felt like a lifetime ago in the secret realm. Yun Xian saw Ji Rongxue, the leader, at a glance.
She had suffered some minor injuries and was looking at him coldly, with a familiar faint light shrouding her hand.
That is also the imperial seal.
From this perspective, whether or not to kill the monsters, and whether or not to get high scores, are now completely meaningless to the Four Realms.
Three of the four jade seals have been produced, one for the Body Tempering Sect, one for the Buddhist Land, and one for the Sword Pavilion. As long as the three can be ignited at the same time, the ancient battlefield will be opened, and the final battle will be fought for the "champion".
...Of course, there is also the possibility that this jade seal was snatched from the Buddhist Township by the Body Strengthening Sect, but Qi Zhiye took a look at it and said impatiently, "No."
Yun Xian: "Why not?"
"You won't get hurt fighting with my brothers." It seemed Qi Zhiye had suffered greatly, as he became more talkative. "They just opened their Golden Bell Guard and started chanting, 'Donor, why do you have to do this?', 'Donor, stop it!', 'Put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha!', 'You've done too much evil and there's no turning back!' And so on and so forth. I've only seen them plug their ears, never bandages."
Yun Xian: “…” What a terrifying scene.
The two groups looked at each other quietly from a distance. Ji Rongxue raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and observed each person slowly and calmly. After coming to a conclusion, he walked away quietly from a distance.
Throughout the whole process, her clear amber eyes were fixed on Yun Xian until she turned her back to her. Yun Xian's scalp was inexplicably numb from being stared at. He couldn't tell what she was thinking, nor could he tell what she would do next. He always felt that this expression was very similar to that of a large cat.
The secret realm was experiencing a brief period of calm before the storm, but outside the secret realm, there was another wave of unrest due to the appearance of the jade seal.
"I always thought the Jade Seal's appearance on the battlefield was just a rumor, but it turns out to be true?!"
"Don't you think this is amiss? Things that were impossible to find in previous sessions are now appearing one by one, like the truth has been revealed. Last time, the White Tiger Seal was buried in the lava. If it weren't for that person's lucky chance, it would have been impossible to find. But this time, it's hanging in the sand cave academy. It's too obvious, as if it's waiting for the Sword Sect to come and take it."
"How should I put it? Actually, I think there's something even more wrong with this year's contestants..."
"It's already chaotic enough now. Once the Ancient Battlefield opens and the leader emerges, all the disciples still in the secret realm will rush to the center. Wow, it will definitely be a bloodbath."
"It can only be said that whoever is stronger wins. In a melee, either there are more people or there is strength. The Sword Sect has both, so how can they not win?"
"But Dao Zong's brain isn't working well!"
“…”
Behind the dense crowd, the head of Xuanbao Pavilion, still wearing the same coarse cloth shorts and simple bamboo hat, strolled towards the gambling house on Liuqing Street.
Now, due to Liu Shi's series of magical actions, the odds in the Northern Realm have actually begun to rise slowly. At the same time, the odds in the Eastern Realm have also slowly dropped, but most people still seek stability, so the changes are not very huge.
The mysterious figure with a black veil behind the Pavilion Master said hoarsely, "Pavilion Master, if the battle begins, who do you think will win?"
"Well," the Pavilion Master touched the tip of his nose and casually threw 100,000 spirit stones into the East Realm gambling table, forcibly lowering the odds. "That girl from the Sword Pavilion. Oh, she should be called Yun Xian."
The pores on her face paused as the tip of her nose rubbed, revealing a little bit of her fair and creamy cheek underneath. If someone took a quick glance, they could see her neck.
There is no Adam's apple on the neck.
No one has ever seen the identity of the Pavilion Master of Xuanbao Pavilion, because she can be anyone.
The mysterious man was caught off guard: "Pavilion Master?"
"Haven't you noticed yet?" The Pavilion Master threw the spirit stone away and left, looking up at the sky. "Hmm, the horoscope is not bad. Look, you're at the peak of martial arts, with excellent luck and many friends and family. Oh, and the marriage palace is also quite prosperous... Hmm? Although there are no signs of reincarnation, there are children? What does that mean?"
It was so rare that even she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
There's a child, but she's not the one giving birth? Huh? Is there such a thing?
The mysterious man in black veil didn't understand and asked, "What did you find?"
"I'm talking about Yun Xian," the Pavilion Master said slowly. "It seems like she hasn't even tried her best yet. Do you know what her strength is?"
Realm is only a rough external manifestation to judge one's cultivation level. Only actual combat can reveal a person's true strength.
The mysterious man in black veil couldn't help but recall and frowned.
The others had almost already exerted their full strength, but Yun Xian had been in the secret realm for so long and had never even fought a monster. He was even more timid towards people, either running away, escaping, or attacking by surprise. He had never fought anyone at all.
As for her actual strength, apart from the general "ninth level of golden elixir", no one knows what other trump cards or treasures she has.
At the supervisory table, Li Pei was not concerned about such matters.
Others might be surprised, but she realized something was wrong - the matter of the jade seal could not be explained by a mere coincidence.
It’s better to say that there are too many coincidences in this four-way war.
The unusual appearance of the demon cultist Jimo Shu, the rumors of the ancient battlefield, and the jade seal that always appeared at the right time... Who told the cultivators that the jade seal could open the ancient battlefield? This rumor was not widespread. Seeing that Xue Lingxiu and Yun Xian took so long to observe it, it was clear that it was definitely not a well-known item. So who told everyone about this, trying to encourage the seizure of the jade seal?
No matter how she thought about it, she could only think of that ordinary passerby's face that was so forgettable that she would not even see it.
Liu Chang's fingertips tapped slowly on the stone platform, his expression tense, and there was no sign of anything unusual.
Master Mingguang also noticed something unusual, frowned slightly, and sat solemnly.
Su Chi seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Liu Chang with a cold gaze like lightning, and his fingertips on the hilt of the sword were tightening little by little.
“…”
Amidst this undercurrent, Yun Xian and his group were finally tired of flying and prepared to set up temporary camp on the ground. They would then sort out the things they had previously looted from Dao Zong to see if there was anything useful.
The White Tiger Seal was still glowing faintly, and was unusually bright in the dark night.
Before tidying up, Xue Lingxiu squeezed out some water from the giant Lin flower, wet a handkerchief with it, and forcibly wiped the three children's faces clean again. Only then did she stop when she was satisfied.
The thought of dirty paws rummaging through things made him feel like ants were crawling on his body.
He was secretly ostracizing Qi Xingye and not letting him clean up. Of course, Qi Xingye didn't want to clean up either, as he thought he was quite clean.
By midnight, the monsters were getting restless and the masters took turns to guard them, always on the alert for external threats.
At this moment, in the yellow sand not far away, the space changed slightly, and it seemed that something was slowly approaching.
There were several monsters lying nearby, completely dead.
The huge, deformed spider had finally eaten and drunk its fill and wanted to look for its companions. Its eight tentacles stomped joyfully in the yellow sand, and its countless crowded compound eyes looked towards the faint light under the sand dunes.
It likes the taste.
Right here.
