Yu Hengzi's eyes narrowed slightly, but his body remained motionless.
Feng Yuan and Lu Qing, who were beside him, did not try to stop him.
In the current Xuanmen (Taoist sect), although Yu Hengzi is in seclusion, if he claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first.
If this person dares to ambush the Old Master, then he should be prepared to die.
The full-force blow landed on Yu Hengzi, but only caused the hem of his clothes to sway slightly, without causing any harm to Yu Hengzi.
"What!"
"My Qi... has vanished!"
While everyone was still in shock, Lu Qing had already arrived and grabbed the man by the collar, pulling him out.
This man was Old Chen, who had regained his strength.
He thought he had restored his meridians using the Five Elements Spiritual Veins and even improved his strength, but he never expected that his proud strength was no match for Yu Hengzi.
Yu Hengzi ignored him and focused on extracting the Five Elements Spiritual Veins from Jiang Yan's body.
Old Chen knelt down with a thud:
"Grand Master, spare my life! I was ungrateful, I was a beast, I was a bastard, please spare my life!"
Yu Hengzi remained silent, seemingly having no intention of paying him any attention.
After extracting the Five Elements Spiritual Vein, he directly gave it to Lu Qing:
"Girl, you can keep this treasure!"
Before Lu Qing could react, Gu Xicheng became nervous:
“Master, this thing is not a good thing to have in your body.”
Even knowing that Lu Qing was powerful, Gu Xicheng feared that Lu Qing would suffer the same fate as Jiang Yan, as the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
The other members of the Chu and Gu families also looked at Lu Qing with concern.
Seeing how frightened they were, Yu Hengzi couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"Why are you all so nervous? I saved Qingqing with great difficulty and raised her single-handedly. How could I possibly harm her!"
“I have refined these five elements spiritual veins. Their power can no longer nourish others in that way. Now it is only effective for individuals.”
Lu Qing did not refuse, but she did not absorb the power of the spiritual vein; instead, she stored it away.
Consider it an extra treasure; we'll take it out when it comes in handy.
Without the Five Elements Spiritual Veins, Jiang Yan was much weaker, but a relaxed smile graced her face.
"Thank you, Master, thank you everyone!"
Feng Yuan helped Jiang Yan up:
"Girl, the Sui Shan Sect is gone. Have you decided where to go?"
Jiang Yan shook her head: "I have nowhere to go, but no matter where I go, I'm free from now on!"
Feng Yuan smiled slightly:
"Then why don't you consider going to Tianxin Sect? The sect leader is my senior sister, and she happens to be short of a disciple. I think you have good potential. If you can become her disciple, I believe you will achieve great things in the future."
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up: "Can I really go to Tianxin Gate?"
“I’ll send a message to my senior sister, but whether she can accept you as a disciple depends on your own abilities,” Feng Yuan said.
Jiang Yan nodded repeatedly, her excitement evident in her expression.
Tianxin Sect only accepts female disciples, and the sect is quite powerful, making it an excellent place for her.
After dealing with Jiang Yan's matter, Yu Hengzi was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that there was still a beast kneeling there!
"Qingqing, you should take care of that thing, don't let it cause a death!"
"Yes, Master!"
Lu Qing accepted the order and walked toward Old Chen.
Old Chen sensed something was wrong and repeatedly kowtowed, begging for mercy.
"Grand Master, spare me! Grand Master, spare me! I'll never dare to do it again!"
No one will let such a beast go.
Seeing no way to survive, Old Chen hurriedly got up to escape, but as soon as he turned around, a force pierced through his dantian.
In an instant, all the Qi in his body dissipated.
He suddenly knelt down, spitting out blood, desperately trying to grasp the departing Qi, but the departed Qi quickly merged into the world and could no longer be seen.
"No...no!"
Old Chen curled up on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, his expression filled with resentment.
He had finally regained his strength, only to lose it again in just a few days. Nothing is more painful than losing something, regaining it, and then losing it again.
"I won't kill you, but from now on you'll be a cripple!"
After saying that, Lu Qing left with the others.
After the matter was over, everyone returned to Yutai Mountain and lived a few peaceful days.
Every morning at six o'clock sharp, everyone in the Chu and Gu families was woken up by the Fifth Senior Brother's bell. After washing up, they would follow their fellow senior brothers to practice their morning exercises and cultivate.
After a few days, although they were a little tired, their complexions became rosier day by day.
"Life in these mountains is so comfortable, I almost don't want to go back!"
Chu Qianjue, dressed in a loose Taoist robe, sat comfortably by the mountain spring, one foot in the water. He was unadorned and unkempt, a far cry from the glamorous star he once was on the big screen.
"Fifth brother, if your fans saw you with this scruffy beard, would they still like you?" Chu Qianjin teased.
"Of course!" Chu Qianjue replied confidently.
"I attract them with my abilities and character, not my looks!"
"Fifth Brother, strike a pose, and I'll take a picture of you."
Lu Qing's voice came from afar. As soon as Chu Qianjue saw the camera pointed at him, his professional instincts, which were ingrained in his bones, quickly made him strike the most photogenic pose he could at the moment.
With a click, the photo was taken.
Lu Qing's photography skills weren't great, but Chu Qianjue was undeniably handsome.
Although he was unkempt and had a stubble beard, it didn't detract from his handsomeness; instead, it gave him a dashing and unrestrained air of a chivalrous hero.
"Great! I'll post this on Weibo right away!"
Less than a minute after Chu Qianjue posted the Weibo, Leng Wei called.
"Qingqingqingqingqing, is my idol by your side?"
On the other end of the phone, Leng Wei's tone was excited, as if she wanted to jump over the phone screen.
Lu Qing smiled and said, "Wait here, I'll have Fifth Brother answer your call."
"No, no, no!" Leng Wei was still a little shy, but Lu Qing had already handed the phone to Chu Qianjue.
When his face appeared on the screen, Leng Wei's face suddenly turned bright red:
"Absolutely... Absolutely... Brother Jue..."
Chu Qianjue slightly curved his lips, and his gentle yet magnetic voice rang out:
"Hello! Little fan, your name is Leng Wei, right?"
Leng Wei nodded excitedly, unable to speak.
Chu Qianjue was somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Calm down, drink some water. Getting too excited isn't good for your health."
Leng Wei nodded again, then took several deep breaths, finally managing to calm her excited emotions.
"Brother Jue, I've liked you for so long, I even voted for you before you debuted!"
"You deserve some credit for my successful debut, thank you!" Chu Qianjue said with a smile.
Leng Wei shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum:
"No, no, no! I should be thanking you!"
“My parents are busy with work and don’t have time to spend with me. When I was in high school, I listened to your songs every day, watched you work hard to debut, and saw your perseverance. I was inspired by you and didn’t give up on myself.”
Chu Qianjue: "Then let's consider this mutual support and encouragement!"
Leng Wei smiled and nodded: "Brother Jue, I really hope you will have a better and better future!"
Chu Qianjue smiled back: "You too!"
Chu Qianjue chatted with Leng Wei for quite a while, providing her with the emotional support expected of a die-hard fan.
When the phone was returned to Lu Qing, he saw Leng Wei's face turn red.
"Weiwei, is it really necessary?! You blush like this after just a few words!"
Leng Wei: "You don't understand the joy of fangirls!"
"Okay! My phone's almost out of battery, I'll hang up now, we'll talk again when I get back to school!"
"Um!"
Just as Lu Qing was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly noticed a bowl of light pink water on the table behind Leng Wei.
The water itself wasn't strange, but what was strange was the faint, eerie aura floating on it.
