Qin Xin followed Yun Li all the way through the Pill Academy.
It immediately attracted the attention of many martial artists.
As the vice dean of the Pill Academy, Yun Li held an extremely prestigious position and was also a sixth-grade alchemist. Few men dared to approach her, yet Qin Xin brazenly followed closely behind her.
Many people have also made some guesses about the identity of this young man, Qin Xin.
Of course, because Qin Xin is now tall and handsome, these people have accepted that he is a pretty boy.
After all, Yun Li is a woman in her early thirties, and she has never been known to have a sweetheart. It is perfectly normal for her to find a gigolo.
In this Central Plains, it's perfectly normal for a man to have a dozen or more women around him if he's strong enough. Of course, the same goes for women, since everything here is determined by strength.
Qin Xin could naturally hear some of the discussions among these people.
His gaze kept sweeping towards Yun Li in front of him, and he was somewhat surprised. Although Yun Li was in her early thirties, she had the figure of a young girl in her late teens and early twenties, and her skin was very fair.
As they were pondering, the two arrived at Yun Li's private pavilion in the Pill Academy.
Because of Yun Li's status, her private pavilion is more than twice the size of Ling Hanyan's.
Moreover, there are many maids serving in this pavilion.
After dismissing several maids who came forward to serve, Yun Li gestured for Qin Xin to sit down at the tea table inside the pavilion.
Then Yunli began to brew tea.
"I wonder what the vice dean wants to see me about?" Qin Xin asked, somewhat unsure of what was going on.
After all, there was still some apprehension in their hearts about the situation of a man and a woman being alone in a room together.
Yun Li smiled slightly and said, "No rush, drink this cup of tea first."
After saying that, Yun Li placed a cup of tea in front of Qin Xin.
Qin Xin was naturally not worried about this. Yun Li was very strong. If she wanted to attack him, she wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. So Qin Xin simply drank the tea in front of him in one gulp.
After the tea entered my stomach, a scalding hot sensation immediately spread out, as if it were being burned by flames, followed by a warm and comfortable feeling that spread throughout my body.
As you savor the aftertaste, a refreshing sweetness lingers on your lips and teeth.
"What kind of tea is this?" Qin Xin was also drinking this kind of tea for the first time and was very curious about it.
He discovered that this tea seemed to strengthen the meridians in a martial artist's body, and if there were any hidden ailments in the body, continuous consumption could lead to rapid recovery.
Seeing Qin Xin's surprised expression, Yun Li smiled slightly and said, "This tea is Chiling Yunye."
Qin Xin was puzzled when he heard the name, because he had never heard of it before.
Seeing Qin Xin's puzzled expression, Yun Li continued, "This tea is unique to Chiling Peak. In Zhongzhou, just one cup of this tea can be exchanged for ten high-grade spirit stones."
"Ten high-grade spirit stones!" Qin Xin was somewhat puzzled. Although drinking the Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf would have some benefits for the body, exchanging it for ten high-grade spirit stones seemed a bit foolish.
Not to mention in the Yunxi Domain, even in the entire Tianxuan Continent, many large families cannot obtain ten high-grade spirit stones in a year.
However, Qin Xin also knew that for some powerful individuals, these so-called spirit stones were nothing more than external possessions.
"I invited you here, naturally, for this tea as well." Yun Li stated directly the purpose of her summons to Qin Xin.
Qin Xin asked, puzzled, "Why did the vice dean seek me out? He could have easily found some powerful martial artists to help you obtain this tea."
Upon hearing Qin Xin's question, Yun Li simply shook her head and said, "Because only martial artists below the Solid Core Realm can enter that place to collect this tea."
"Oh? Below the Solid Core Realm, why?" Qin Xin continued to ask.
"Within the territory of the Tianxuan Sect, there is a Crimson Ridge Peak. There once lived a powerful expert at the Earth Profound Realm. This expert loved tea and planted all kinds of tea on Crimson Ridge Peak. The Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf was cultivated by him."
"When that Earth Profound Realm expert was about to reach the end of his life, he directly built his tomb in this Crimson Ridge Peak and planted Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves in his tomb."
Hearing Yun Li's words, Qin Xin was also somewhat surprised. After all, a powerful expert at the Earth Profound Realm could already establish a sect, but according to her, this person preferred to live in seclusion and enjoy tea, which was completely different from the Earth Profound Realm expert he remembered who could easily smash a city in a fit of anger.
Of course, Qin Xin also had many reservations about the tombs of these powerful figures, as many of them would set up various traps in their tombs after their deaths.
The main purpose is to ensure peace after death.
Qin Xin also saw through Yun Li's plan. She wanted him to find the Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf, but he was still somewhat wary of the unknown dangers within the tomb, and was prepared to refuse directly.
But what Yunli said next stunned Qin Xin.
“You must have a strange fire on you!” Yun Li said softly. Seeing Qin Xin’s surprised expression, she continued, “In that pavilion, I could feel the terrifying temperature emanating from the strange fire seed within you.”
Seeing that Yun Li knew, Qin Xin saw no need to hide it and simply nodded in acknowledgment.
"Having a different kind of fire makes things much easier, since the tomb's owner possessed one before his death." Yun Li took a sip of tea and continued, "That guy Hong Ye once heard that there was a different kind of fire inside. Apparently, he forced his way in, and came out looking disheveled, but he did bring back a considerable amount of Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves."
Seeing the smile on Yun Li's lips, Qin Xin put down his teacup and said, "I suppose the news about Crimson Ridge Peak was also given to me by the vice dean."
Seeing Qin Xin's intelligence, Yun Li nodded and said, "He is indeed exceptionally intelligent. Those who possess a different kind of fire will find it easier to approach the place where the Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf grows when they enter this tomb."
"If you can bring out the Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf from there, I can take each leaf for one high-grade spirit stone."
Yun Li spoke with great composure, and Qin Xin felt a stirring in his heart.
Qin Xin wasn't particularly interested in the Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf. The most important thing was that he had heard that Hong Ye had also been there, and that Hong Ye had previously tried to collect the Lava Core Flame in the inner courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, but Qin Xin had already collected it.
Therefore, Qin Xin also guessed that there must be a strange fire in the tomb of that Earth Profound Realm expert, and that even Hong Ye could not collect this strange fire.
