In a tavern on Tuocang Mountain.
After a few rounds of drinks, Qin Xin and the others went their separate ways to cultivate.
The martial arts competition in Yunxi Domain three days later will not have a significant impact on the number of places Tianxuan Sect can participate in the Nine Domains Martial Arts Tournament.
After all, most of the participants in the Nine Provinces Martial Arts Tournament are martial artists at the Dharma Aspect Realm. Even if martial artists at the Core Formation Realm are lucky enough to participate, they don't have much of a chance to occupy a top spot.
But for Qin Xin, this Yunxi Domain martial arts competition was different. He planned to use his name to tell everyone in the Qin clan of Zhongzhou.
Even after his martial bones were taken away, he was still able to walk step by step from the Eastern Wilderness to here.
Walking on the trails of Tuocang Mountain, a gentle mountain breeze swept by, completely dispelling Qin Xin's lingering drunkenness.
After arriving at the Pill Academy, Qin Xin learned that Yang Xiu and Yun Li had returned.
Led by a maid, Qin Xin went directly to the inner courtyard of the Dan Academy on Tuocang Mountain.
Upon arriving at the inner courtyard, Qin Xin did not see Dean Yang Xiu, seemingly because his previous injuries had not fully healed.
Yun Li was a bit different. It seemed that after learning of Qin Xin's arrival, she dressed up specially. Instead of wearing the alchemist's robe as usual, she changed into a long dress that revealed her legs.
She was slightly plump, and her fair skin was exposed to the air without any hesitation.
If Qin Xin hadn't been surrounded by many stunning beauties, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the scene before him, given his youthful vigor.
However, although Yun Li was over thirty, she had never experienced the ways of the world and lacked the skill to seduce others. She would often deliberately cover up any exposed areas.
"Elder Qin, thanks to your rescue, otherwise the Dean and I would probably have perished in that Yinfeng Ravine."
Yun Li had a big smile on her face, and her beautiful eyes kept looking Qin Xin up and down, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
“Vice Dean Yun, there’s no need for that. I am a member of the Pill Academy, and I’m doing this for the sake of the Tianxuan Sect. I wonder how the Pill Academy is doing now.”
After Qin Xin sat down, he shook his head. He didn't like these so-called empty titles, and besides, his trip to Yin Feng Ravine that time wasn't to save Yang Xiu and Yun Li.
It was just something I did on a whim, not worth mentioning at all.
"Sigh, don't even mention it. That traitor Jia Yi! He left me with a huge mess." Yun Li looked somewhat dejected, seemingly due to the recent exhaustion.
"Sigh! Hanyan is the same. After returning to the Qin clan, we tried to contact her many times but received no news."
Yun Li spoke softly, feeling somewhat helpless. If Ling Hanyan were in the Pill Academy, she could help her share a lot of the work.
However, after Yun Li finished sighing, a strange smile appeared on her face, and she stared straight at Qin Xin, saying, "Elder Qin, why don't you stay in the Pill Academy for a while and let the Dean give you a position as Vice Dean?"
"No, I don't like being tied down by these things."
As soon as Yun Li made her suggestion, Qin Xin flatly refused, not giving her any chance to speak.
"Has Senior Sister Ling not returned to the Pill Academy of Tuocang Mountain during this period of time?" Qin Xin thought for a moment, then asked out of curiosity.
Upon hearing Qin Xin's question, Yun Li didn't think too much about it and replied, "We only exchanged a few messages via spirit talismans."
"Han Yan said that she cannot leave the Qin Clan for the time being, so many things at the Pill Academy cannot be handled for the time being."
As Yun Li spoke, she took out the spirit talisman that she had previously used to communicate with Ling Hanyan.
Qin Xin naturally didn't read the girls' private conversations. After learning that she was currently safe, he had no other thoughts in his mind.
However, Qin Xin roughly understood that the Qin clan in Tianque City probably already knew all about him.
When Qin Xin went to Tianque City to attend the Pill Gathering, he used his identity as a Danqing to conceal his identity. In fact, he did this partly because he did not want to attract too much attention, and partly because only in this way could he better investigate the background of the Qin Clan in Tianque City.
Now that everything is out in the open, Qin Xin no longer needs to deliberately hide anything.
As for whether Qin Haotian would use any means against him privately through certain individuals, Qin Xin still doesn't know. However, he has seen quite a few shadows related to the Qin clan in Zhongzhou.
As for whether Qin Haotian is the mastermind behind it all, Qin Xin can't say for sure yet, but the only thing that is certain is that the Qin clan has always been eyeing the jade pendant fragment in his possession.
"Well, I'll go refine some pills first, and then I might have to leave for a few days."
Seeing that the maid had brought all the medicinal herbs that Yun Li had prepared, Qin Xin stood up and bid farewell to Yun Li.
"Oh? You're going to participate in the Cloud Tide Domain Martial Arts Competition."
"I imagine that your name will resound throughout the entire Yunxi Domain after this competition."
When Yun Li heard that Qin Xin was going to leave for a few days, she guessed where he was going. "At that time, someone from our Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy will also go to cheer you on. After all, you are an elder of our Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy."
Seeing Yun Li's smiling face, Qin Xin also smiled and said, "Then I thank Vice Dean Yun in advance."
"But I am just an honorary elder."
After Qin Xin took the spirit stones from his hand and put them down, he headed straight for the alchemy room.
Seeing Qin Xin leave so gracefully, Yun Li's expression darkened slightly. She looked at the maid beside her with a touch of melancholy, not even bothering to count the spirit stones Qin Xin had left behind.
"Am I not attractive to him at all?"
Yun Li pouted. She hadn't expected to dress so revealingly in front of a man for the first time, but he remained completely unmoved, not even glancing sideways.
"How could that be? The vice dean's beauty is among the best in the entire Central State."
The maid beside her spoke with a smile, but after seeing the exposed skin on Yun Li's body, a blush rose on her face.
"Does this guy have no interest in women?"
Yun Li seemed to have finally come to some conclusions, her gaze somewhat vacant, as if she were pondering something.
Meanwhile, Qin Xin, who was on his way to the alchemy room, sneezed loudly and rubbed his nose helplessly.
"I don't know who's insulting me."
Qin Xin pursed his lips and pinched his nose as well.
Qin Xin himself admitted that he was not exactly a gentleman, but he still knew how to maintain a proper balance in certain matters.
Qin Xin could naturally see through Yun Li's little scheme, but he didn't like it.
He relies entirely on intuition when it comes to feelings; if he has a feeling, he has a feeling. If he uses any means, he feels that the feelings are not pure and are not what he wants to pursue.
After entering the alchemy room, Qin Xin left a spiritual connection outside to keep watch and prevent anyone from rushing in.
