The ancestor was surprised to see the trial illusion?!
It seemed like he had returned to the trial tower space. Qin Ruqing was not sure because it was pitch black in front of him and the armor did not reappear.
Qin Ruqing sat down cross-legged in the dark and began to face up to the strange feeling before.
Am I that cold? Qin Ruqing asked herself.
Although I am a little selfish, my sense of morality is not that strong, and I will do anything to achieve my goal... Putting these things aside, Qin Ruqing thinks that she is still a good young man with a righteous and kind outlook!
So, is it the effect of the little blue pill?
She had felt before that the pill that the armor asked her to take had a certain effect of paralyzing the nerves, so she was not so sensitive to the pain when she passed the lightning strike, and she was able to hold on for twelve breaths later.
Now it seems that the pill not only has the effect of numbing pain, it should also be able to numb emotions to a certain extent.
Qin Ruqing had just thought it through when the surrounding environment suddenly began to change.
Hmm? Is the next mission going to start so directly?
It has begun -
Qin Ruqing opened her eyes and found that it was still pitch black, but there was a smell of damp and rotten grass and trees coming from her nose.
She touched the ground with her hand, and it seemed that it was covered with dead leaves. She could feel the dry and rough texture. She listened with her ears to the side, and heard the sounds of frightened birds and beasts all around.
Hmm...it can't be what she thought.
Qin Ruqing was silent for a while, and suddenly stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes - she really couldn't see anything!
As expected! Qin Ruqing gritted her teeth in anger, and finally confirmed that she had turned into a little blind person in the plot of the new mission!
She was a little beggar in front, and a little blind person in the back, so couldn't she be given a normal identity? !
The little blind person was angry for a while, and finally accepted her fate.
She checked her body as usual, and then her face showed a bit of weirdness.
This time it seemed that she was not completely a mortal, but not much different from a mortal. Qin Ruqing felt the spiritual roots, but found that the spiritual roots could not be used. Forcibly injecting spiritual energy would cause severe pain in the meridians.
Okay, the eyes can't see, and the body is not normal.
The little blind person gave up and lay down.
I don't know how long it took, Qin Ruqing suddenly heard the sound of dry leaves being stepped on.
Someone is coming!
Qin Ruqing's heart sank, but he still lay there without moving.
It seemed like a person walked up to her and then squatted down - of course, Qin Ruqing was not sure if it was a beast.
Something probed in front of her nose, and then held her pulse at her wrist. Now Qin Ruqing was sure that it was definitely a person!
The characters in the plot appeared!
The person took her pulse for a short while, and after letting go, he commented indifferently above her head: "The spiritual pulse is sealed, and the body seems to be corroded by a strange toxin. There is no hope."
What? There is no hope? No, I can still be saved, I can be saved! Are you sure you don't want to take another look? !
Qin Ruqing shouted in her heart.
The person stood up, and it was not known whether he heard Qin Ruqing's voice. After thinking for a while, he actually stuffed a pill into Qin Ruqing's mouth and said calmly: "It depends on your fate."
Qin Ruqing: Did you give me medicine? Then it's okay. My life is Xiaoqiang's life! I will definitely not die!
The elixir seemed to work in the body. Qin Ruqing vaguely sensed that the mysterious man did not leave. Because she smelled the aroma of grilled fish nearby.
Grilled fish with cumin flavor! Qin Ruqing almost stole the corpse.
She wanted to eat it too!
After an unknown amount of time, the man came over and took her pulse again. Qin Ruqing was blind and could not see the man's expression. She could only tilt her ears and wait for the diagnosis.
As a result, the man did not comment on anything this time.
Hey, don't you tell the patient about the condition?
After Qin Ruqing finished complaining in her heart, she suddenly remembered that she was blind now, not mute, so why didn't she speak!
After calming down for a while, Qin Ruqing cleared her throat and spoke: "That..."
She was stuck at the beginning, how to address him... In a flash, she shouted: "Good Samaritan! Good Samaritan thank you for saving me."
Start by giving out the good guy card! There will be no problem.
There was silence on the other end for a while, and halfway through, Qin Ruqing heard a somewhat funny voice: "I didn't save you, and I didn't intend to take care of you."
Qin Ruqing: "But I felt that you fed me a pill before. It was you who saved me!" "
That pill is not worth mentioning. I just fed you one with a trial mentality because I saw that you were poisoned."
However, no matter what she said, Qin Ruqing insisted that it was the other party who saved her.
The shameless little blind man always makes people unable to resist. The man pondered for a while and waved to Qin Ruqing: "Then, come here and I will give you a formal diagnosis."
Hey. Qin Ruqing raised her legs to go over, but found that she could not find the direction. In the end, the mysterious man cast a spell to call her over.
After the diagnosis, the mysterious man said with a bit of surprise and complexity:
"You are poisoned. This poison corrodes your spiritual roots, making it impossible for you to cultivate. If that were all, you could still survive, but this poison corroding your spiritual roots is only the first step. It will then corrode your meridians and blood, pollute your internal organs, and when the poison enters your brain, your life will be over."
Qin Ruqing asked anxiously: "Then, has my poison entered my brain?"
"You can't see with your eyes? Your eyes are very close to your brain. Even if your poison hasn't entered your brain yet, I'm afraid it won't be long."
In other words, your brain is likely to have been poisoned, but she doesn't know why she didn't die.
Qin Ruqing was still calm. According to the plot, she would definitely not die. Now it depends on what this person does.
She just pretended to grab the last straw and begged: "Good man, please save me!"
The man sighed, hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.
"Well, if you want to follow, just follow me. But I have to say that I am just a casual cultivator, I only know a little about alchemy, and I can't guarantee that I can cure you."
Qin Ruqing opened her mouth with nice words, and after a long bow, she said: "I dare not expect to recover. I stay with you just to repay your kindness of giving me an elixir!"
So, Qin Ruqing began to follow this mysterious casual cultivator.
Casual cultivators are indeed at home everywhere. She usually moves around in this area. She met Qin Ruqing because she was going to the dense forest to collect elixirs.
This person has a small house at the foot of the mountain in the dense forest. Qin Ruqing stayed in the house and helped her with some cleaning and doorkeeping.
I don’t know if this person’s alchemy skills are not as bad as she said, or if it is necessary for the plot. The poison that has already invaded Qin Ruqing’s brain still did not cause her to die suddenly. Instead, her body is getting better day by day, and she can even vaguely see some human figures with her eyes.
Qin Ruqing certainly did not forget her mission. During the days she was with the mysterious alchemist, she had been observing her.
This person's daily routine is to collect herbs and refine pills. Part of the refined pills are used for his own cultivation, and part are sold to the pill shop in exchange for cultivation resources.
The rest of the time, this person is either cultivating or researching elixir recipes - he is indeed a normal casual elixir cultivator.
But Qin Ruqing still found clues. She has seen this person sell the new pill recipes he has researched to the noble families in the city.
New pill recipes are not something that can be researched. This person must be talented. In this case, why not find a noble family to rely on and become a member of the noble family with her skills?
This is not because Qin Ruqing is narrow-minded, but because she understands that it is too difficult to be a casual cultivator outside. Basically, there is no one in the world.
No status, no resources, and no protection.
In the territory governed by the noble family, as a commoner, you can at least settle down and have a household registration, but casual cultivators like the mysterious man have nothing.
A few years have passed since the plot, and Qin Ruqing's spiritual meridians are still sealed, but she no longer feels any pain, and her eyes can see the lines on the screen. The mysterious man said that after he gave her the last dose of medicine and then acupuncture, her eyes would be completely healed.
Today was the day when the mysterious man gave her acupuncture. After the last needle, the mysterious man said, "Open your eyes."
Qin Ruqing opened her eyes. After seeing the mysterious man's appearance clearly, her body tilted back and she fell to the ground in fright.
- Oh my God, the mysterious man in this illusion looks exactly like the ancestor! ! !
Ancestor, oh no, the mysterious man saw her fall to the ground in fear, but laughed, "Why, do I look so scary?"
Qin Ruqing took a breath, sat up again and shook her head: "It's not scary, it's that I feel you are kind."
How could the ancestor not be kind when he came in person.
The mysterious man who looked like an ancestor seemed to have a great interest in detoxifying her body after her eyes recovered.
The main task of the mysterious man's actions also changed from researching elixirs in exchange for cultivation resources to finding a way to detoxify her.
The mysterious man would occasionally ask Qin Ruqing for a drop or two of blood, and then study for days and nights, looking like he was overwhelmed.
And at that time, Qin Ruqing would remain silent.
Another major turning point in the plot occurred when they went to the Treasure Pavilion to look for elixirs. This was the main ingredient for refining Qin Ruqing's detoxification elixir, and it was very rare.
When they were going up to the third floor of the Treasure Pavilion, they met an "old friend" of the mysterious man .
The old friend said, "You are not dead yet!"
Well, it seems that they are not old friends, but old enemies.
The mysterious man looked cold and pulled Qin Ruqing away, even giving up the elixir that was about to be obtained. When going downstairs, Qin Ruqing vaguely heard the man shouting from behind:
"Why, are you still studying your poison sect evil arts..."
When they returned to their residence, the mysterious man did not explain what happened just now, but just said calmly: "I will find a way to get that elixir back for you later."
Qin Ruqing just nodded and did not ask more questions.
She has her own eyesight, and she can see the clues of some things without the other party explaining them.
The people she met in the Treasure Pavilion today, judging from their attire and the fact that the Pavilion Master had to accompany them, they all came from aristocratic families.
He and the mysterious person seemed to be old acquaintances, so, can we infer that the mysterious person was not a casual cultivator, but had a family?
This can explain why the mysterious person, who obviously has good alchemy skills, is unwilling to join the aristocratic family and become an ordinary priest. If she herself was once a core member of the aristocratic family and had a story of hatred on her body, how could she be willing to be a priest.
Thinking of that sentence again, "Still studying your evil poison arts", the mysterious person would not have been driven out by the family.
So, she is so busy all day now, is it to clear her name and return to the family?
-The
elixir in the treasure pavilion was still exchanged by the mysterious person. At this point, all the materials for Qin Ruqing's detoxification pill have been gathered.
The mysterious person's emotions felt like they had skyrocketed to the extreme, like a scholar who had studied hard for ten years just for this moment.
She prepared the medicine and refined the pill in front of Qin Ruqing without hesitation, concentrating on every move. To be honest, Qin Ruqing was a little uncomfortable with the ancestor's face showing such a crazy look.
The ancestor was a calm and elegant person.
Qin Ruqing watched with cold eyes as the mysterious man finally refined the pill. She handed the pill over excitedly, looking at Qin Ruqing with shining eyes:
"It's finally refined! Eat it and your poison will be cured!"
Qin Ruqing took the pill, but did not put it into his mouth immediately. Instead, he put it to his nose and sniffed it, and then said something lightly that made the mysterious man's face change drastically:
"What kind of pill requires my blood!"
Qin Ruqing said slowly: "I don't know if my poison can be cured after taking this pill, but I'm afraid I will turn into a pool of blood on the spot for you to use as a medicine... Benefactor, I regard you as a benefactor, and you have been using me?"
The mysterious man's face changed several colors in an instant with the ancestor's face, and finally stood up with a sinister expression, "You knew it a long time ago!"
Qin Ruqing pulled his lips and smiled.
Even if she didn't care about elixirs and had no talent, she was taught about elixirs by her ancestor when she was young, and the Qin family was also a serious elixir family.
What this mysterious man made was not a serious elixir at all.
This elixir can detoxify, but it is not just detoxification.
The mysterious man didn't know when he saw the magic of Qin Ruqing's body - the poison had already penetrated into her bones, but she was still alive and kicking.
It didn't matter to her whether the poison was cured or not. The mysterious man had already seen this, so what she refined was not so much a detoxifying pill as it was an attempt to dissolve her flesh and blood, making it easier for the mysterious man to replenish and absorb her evil pill!
"Yes, I saw it a long time ago. The reason why I kept it to myself was to see if you would actually make a move. After all, we have been together for ten years."
The mysterious man laughed: "Hahaha, ten years is nothing. As long as I can impress those people, I won't hesitate even if it's twenty or thirty years, not to mention ten years!"
After laughing, he looked at Qin Ruqing crazily: "You are the medicine man I have carefully cultivated for ten years. As long as I melt your flesh and blood, and then refine you into a precious pill and bring it back to the family, who dares to look down on me!"
"It's too late for you to understand now. Although you can't die, you can't repair your spiritual veins. If you can't cultivate, you are just a mortal after all-" That's it.
Before he finished the last two words, the mysterious man's face froze, and he slowly lowered his head, looking at the sword that pierced his chest in disbelief.
Qin Ruqing said indifferently: "Who said my spiritual veins can't be repaired? Unfortunately, they have just been repaired."
The mysterious man opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"Oh, you mean that the spiritual power that has just been repaired can't hurt you. Then you are ignorant. The sword body is blessed with rules. A little spiritual power can break your defense."
"In addition, I really want to complain that you use this face and act crazy every day. It really makes me feel very inconsistent, very inconsistent!"
"My ancestor can't be like you--!"
Qin Ruqing pulled out the thin sword with force. The mysterious man's body lost support and finally fell down softly.
——When did she realize that something was wrong?
In fact, Qin Ruqing really didn't find it that early. The mysterious man acted quite well in the early days, and the face of the ancestor naturally made Qin Ruqing feel close to her.
Qin Ruqing began to doubt, only because she suddenly sensed the sword given to her by the Trial Tower.
The appearance of this sword meant that her target had appeared. Who else could it be except the mysterious man?
In this illusion, Qin Ruqing was puzzled by only one thing from beginning to end, why did the mysterious man in the illusion manifest the face of the ancestor?
If the illusion was blessed by her subconscious deep in her heart, could it be that she believed deep in her heart that the ancestor had been using her all the time?
Qin Ruqing's body remained in place for two seconds, and suddenly she smiled and put away the sword.
"If you want me to kill, I will kill. If you want me to follow the plot, I will follow the plot. It's okay to pass the test of conscience, but don't ask me this - I have already thought about this question clearly."
"The Qin family, or the ancestors, they can use me if they want. The scary thing for people to gain a foothold in this world is not being used, but not having the capital and value to be used."
"Besides, I have always believed that it is easier and more stable to pursue eternal interests than to pursue eternal feelings."
"I have roughly figured out your mission in the Trial Tower," Qin Ruqing raised his eyes calmly, as if talking to the air:
"So, who do you want me to kill in the next level?"
