Upon hearing this, Qing Xuanzi said, "Grandmaster, please have a cup of tea before you leave."
Leng Qianjue shook her head: "No, you and your master should catch up."
After saying that, he walked away slowly with his hands behind his back.
Watching Leng Qianjue walk away, Qing Xuanzi closed the courtyard gate, activated the array, and then had Rong Jiaojiao sit down before saying, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Qing Xuanzi brewed a cup of spiritual tea and pushed it in front of Rong Jiaojiao, his gaze sharp. "Besides your injuries, there is a power circulating within your body that does not belong to you."
Rong Jiaojiao was stunned. She hadn't expected her master to be so perceptive as to have noticed this.
She took a sip of spiritual tea and roughly told Qing Xuanzi about her experiences after going to the Ten Thousand Mountains. However, she did not mention the pain she had endured, nor did she mention Jun Yuangui.
Upon hearing this, Qing Xuanzi frowned and tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "So, you devoured the power of the Demon Lord's divided soul?"
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "The situation was critical at the time. If we hadn't done that, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape."
Qing Xuanzi remained silent for a moment, then reached out and grasped her wrist, sending a wisp of spiritual energy into her body.
Rong Jiaojiao did not resist and allowed her master to examine her.
After a moment, Qing Xuanzi withdrew his hand, his expression solemn: "Although this power has been purified, a trace of blood evil remains. If not handled properly, it may become a hidden danger in the future."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, understanding in her heart. These past few days, she could only suppress her emotions while out and about, and could only return to the Immortal Mountain to enter the small secret realm for proper seclusion and cleansing.
Qing Xuanzi pondered and said, "You need to refine this slowly with pure Yang power. Fortunately, your grandmaster recently obtained a 'Nine Yang Mystic Ginseng,' I'll go and get it for you to use in your medicine."
Rong Jiaojiao quickly waved her hand: "No need to trouble Grandmaster, I can resolve it myself slowly."
Qing Xuanzi glared at her: "What are you showing off for? If this bloodthirsty energy invades your soul, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Knowing that her master was worried about her, Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Master, no matter how good the medicinal herbs are, they can't compare to the purifying power of the Nine Dragon Seal. My little hidden danger can be cleared up by just going into seclusion for a while. There's really no need to waste Grandmaster's Nine Yang Mystic Ginseng."
Qing Xuanzi's expression softened slightly: "In that case, you should go into seclusion quickly, lest something unexpected happens if you stay too long."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded obediently: "Master, don't worry, I'll go into seclusion inside the treasure artifact right now."
She got up and walked towards her room, but then remembered the Soul-Replenishing Pills that Yue Ling had made. She turned back, took out ten bottles, and placed them in front of Qing Xuanzi, saying, "Master, these are Soul-Replenishing Pills. You should also cultivate diligently."
Qing Xuanzi's eyes widened: "Why are you giving me all this? Just give me one or two bottles, and you can take the rest back and use them yourself."
Rong Jiaojiao said with a grin, "Master, I've kept some for myself, so please feel free to use it."
Without waiting for Qing Xuanzi to say anything more, he returned to his room, had Yue Ling set up a barrier outside, and then flashed into the small secret realm.
Sitting cross-legged under the Soul Fruit Tree, Rong Jiaojiao took out the Nine Dragon Seal and circled it around her body, beginning to calm her mind and regulate her breathing.
As spiritual energy circulated, the residual blood and evil energy within the body was gradually forced out and dissolved in the golden light of the Nine Dragon Seal.
After an unknown amount of time, a blinding golden light suddenly burst forth from Rong Jiaojiao's body, expelling all the evil energy within her.
Rong Jiaojiao slowly opened her eyes, golden light swirling within them.
To her surprise, she discovered that not only had the bloodthirsty energy within her body been completely eliminated, but her cultivation had also improved considerably.
Rong Jiaojiao did not continue her seclusion. She took a look at Zi Ling, who was in seclusion breaking through to the Celestial Master realm, and then left the small secret realm.
Qing Xuanzi, who had been keeping an eye on her, sensed that the barrier around her room had been removed, so he also withdrew from his cultivation.
He pushed open the door and walked into the hall, where he saw Rong Jiaojiao sitting at the table, brewing tea with spiritual fire.
"Master, I'm all better now." Rong Jiaojiao looked up, her eyes full of life.
Qing Xuanzi walked over, reached out to check her aura, and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, the blood evil aura has been cleared, and her cultivation has also improved. This Nine Dragon Seal is truly miraculous."
Rong Jiaojiao poured Qing Xuanzi a cup of tea and said, "Master, I want to go back to the mortal world to see my parents."
Qing Xuanzi paused for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, you haven't been back for a long time, go and see them."
"However, although the demonic spirits have been mostly eliminated, just in case, you have had the Moon Spirit help you conceal your presence in the mortal world."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "Okay!"
Qing Xuanzi continued, "We can't linger too long at the Demon Sealing Array, so I doubt you'll be staying here for very long either."
"Yes, I know." Rong Jiaojiao nodded, but she hadn't been back to the mortal world for a long time and didn't know how her parents were doing.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"I'll go prepare now." Rong Jiaojiao got up, preparing to buy some things that ordinary people could use to take back.
"Wait a minute," Qing Xuanzi called out to her. "I'll prepare some things for you."
He took out some odds and ends from his sleeve, including jade carvings for children, low-level magic robes for a family, and elixirs that mortals could use.
“These are for your family. I was thinking that you might not be able to go back for a while, so I was thinking of sending them to them when I have some free time.”
Touched by her master's thoughtfulness, Rong Jiaojiao put away the things and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Master! With these things, I don't need to prepare anything else."
"Go ahead, and come back soon." Qing Xuanzi waved his hand.
Rong Jiaojiao spoke a few more words with her master before leaving the courtyard. Once outside the bamboo forest, she flew away on her sword.
She didn't even contact her friends when she returned to the mountain gate this time, as if the time had passed and the feelings had faded.
Along the way, thinking about how many years it had been since she had been home, she felt nervous.
She didn't know how her parents were doing, nor whether her brother, sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces were safe and well.
Standing on her flying sword, Rong Jiaojiao sent Han Yunshen a message that she had recovered from her injuries and was going back to the mortal world.
Han Yunshen replied: "[Okay, we'll notify you to return once Qi Lan emerges from seclusion.]"
Rong Jiaojiao understood; even Mo Bai and the others were still in the mortal world and had not returned to the immortal mountain.
Just as he put the communication jade slip into his waistband, it vibrated a moment later. He picked it up to check and found it was a message from Mo Bai.
[Rong Jiaojiao, I heard you've fully recovered and are out of seclusion?]
Rong Jiaojiao frowned. Who had leaked her whereabouts?
Who told you that?
Mo Bai replied: "I just asked Senior Chao Qingxuan about your injuries, and he told me."
Rong Jiaojiao's expression softened: "Yes, I'm fully healed. However, I've left the Immortal Mountain."
"You've only just recovered from your injuries, why did you leave the sacred mountain?"
Oh, I see. Did you go home?
[Do you live in Bingshi? I'd like to come visit you!]
Rong Jiaojiao only replied with a string of ellipses and then stopped talking to him.
Rong Jiaojiao never expected that she would see Mo Bai, dressed in a sharp Zhongshan suit, at the crossroads outside the 56th Division's garrison.
