Chapter 29: I bumped into Luo Qingyao again and acted in vain
"Ah? I'm still alive! I haven't lost any limbs?" After waking up, Nan Si Ning touched his whole body and felt extremely surprised.
Is it that the Black Forest is not as powerful as the legend says, or am I just lucky and have a strong life?
Nan Sining only spent three seconds thinking and quickly shook off the question.
Just be alive, nothing else matters.
After putting away the mattress, blanket and defense array, Nan Si Ning decided that he must leave here today. Although he didn't know what happened last night, judging from the fact that he lost consciousness the moment he closed his eyes, the night in the Black Forest was really not easy.
So, she didn't waste time eating. She took out a bottle of fasting pills and ate one. Just as she was about to put the rest back, she saw the little beast standing on its hind legs, its pair of black eyes looking at her expectantly - or rather, the jade bottle in her hand.
This little beast hadn't actually left at night. Nan Si Ning felt a little strange, so he generously handed it a fasting pill. "This isn't as delicious as yesterday's, but it's very filling."
With the experience of last night, the little beast quickly finished the fasting pill. After sniffing it a few times with its little nose, it felt the fragrance of the pill rush directly into its brain, making it feel refreshed all over. What a good stuff!
Although the aroma was not as tempting as the one from last night, it contained extremely rich and profound energy, and the little beast fell in love with it immediately.
He swung his black tail quickly, and when he looked at Nan Si Ning, he had a more favorable impression of her: She actually has so many good things! I was right not to leave last night, I have to follow her!
After the fasting pill entered its stomach, a warm feeling emanated from its stomach. The little beast squinted its eyes with joy. This thing actually greatly relieved its hunger!
The little beast couldn't remember how long it had been since he had felt this full feeling.
It feels so good not to be hungry!
In addition, the little beast could clearly feel that after its hunger was relieved, pure power flowed to its limbs and all parts of its body, and it felt like it could crush several monsters at once!
Nan Si Ning felt relieved when he saw the little beast's satisfied expression.
According to experience in the Luoshui Secret Realm, the cultivators' elixirs are also effective against many demonic beasts and spirit beasts. It seems that this little beast of unknown origin is also effective.
"Okay, it's getting late, I have to go." Nan Si Ning said hello to the little beast and began to look for directions.
Nan Si Ning originally wanted to rely on his little experience from yesterday to choose a reliable direction, but after looking for a while, he felt that it was the same no matter where he went, so he simply closed his eyes and went in a certain direction.
What she didn't expect was that the little beast quickly followed. Nan Si Ning ignored it, as long as it didn't attack her.
So, Nan Si Ning walked in the Black Forest for a long time with his head down. When he found that he still couldn't get out, he immediately became discouraged: "How big is this Black Forest? Didn't Senior Brother Shen say it wasn't that big?"
At this time, Nan Si Ning was unusually impatient and wanted to tear down the forest.
The little beast came close to her, as if it had something to say, and a question mark popped up in Nan Si Ning's mind.
"Are you hungry?"
The little beast didn't say anything, but Nan Si Ning inexplicably felt that it didn't mean that.
After a while, the little beast turned around and walked away. After walking for a while, it looked back at Nan Si Ning.
Nan Si Ning thought for a moment and asked, "You want me to follow you?"
The little beast turned around and continued walking. Nan Si Ning couldn't understand what it meant for a moment. It was really inconvenient not being able to communicate!
After hesitating for a while, Nan Si Ning made up his mind and followed.
This little beast roams freely in this forest, maybe there really is a way.
But Nan Si Ning didn't hold much hope. Chen Tangyuan's words describing the treacherous Black Forest replayed in her mind:
"The murderous intent of the Black Forest is hidden and quiet, making it very difficult to detect."
"Anyone who enters the Black Forest will die."
"The Black Forest wasn't placed there by Medicine King City. I don't know how it appeared in the secret realm. Perhaps it was the power of some strange fire that caused it to do so?"
…
Nan Si Ning followed the little beast like a soulless zombie, lamenting, "Forget it, if I can't go out today, then I won't go out. As long as I can stay alive..."
Just before she finished sighing, she seemed to see something yellow ahead.
She was startled and looked over carefully. It was true!
Behind the patches of black branches, a faint yellow background appeared, which made Nan Sining think he was seeing things.
She could no longer contain her excitement and quickened her pace as she rushed over. Although the little beast was a little confused, it still followed her closely.
About a cup of tea later, Nan Si Ning looked at the vast expanses of yellow sand in front of him and almost burst into tears: "Damn it, I finally got out!"
Yellow sand everywhere is a normal place in this secret realm of strange fire. The forest that looks like it has been burned is not it at all!
Only in this vast expanse of yellow sand is it possible to encounter strange fire. Not only is there no strange fire in the Black Forest, but it is also full of murderous intent.
After a while, Nan Si Ning calmed down and hurriedly took out his jade slip to take a look. Sure enough, there were many messages sent by his third senior brother and seventh senior sister.
Nan Si Ning was about to go find them when he suddenly remembered the little beast beside him. Thinking that he was able to get out of this situation, it was also because of the little beast's help, he said, "Thank you very much this time."
The little beast looked up at her, still looking difficult to communicate with.
Nan Si Ning thought for a moment, then took out a whole bottle of fasting pills and gave it to the little beast: "Since you like this, I'll give it to you! There are twenty pills in it, which will last you for a long time."
Depending on individual circumstances, one fasting pill can last from half a month to a month.
The little beast blinked its eyes, took the jade bottle and was about to put it into its mouth. Nan Si Ning hurriedly stopped it and taught it to open the cork. The little beast showed a look of understanding.
The little animal was so happy to find that there was a whole bottle of "pills" inside that he had just eaten. He whipped the ground with his little tail and his whole body was filled with joy.
Seeing that it liked it, Nan Si Ning felt relieved and said with some sadness: "Thank you for your care these past two days. You are so comfortable in this Black Forest. This must be your birthplace, your hometown. Your relatives and friends are still here. I can't take you away."
Seeing the little beast's happy face, Nan Si Ning decided to leave now. It would not be so sad to say goodbye at the happiest time.
So she turned and walked towards the yellow sand.
I was too sad to look back, but I consoled myself by saying that life is like this, where separation is a constant. Meeting my seniors now was the most important thing. The joy of being together would dispel the sadness of parting.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
After taking out the jade slip and sending a message to each of his senior brothers and sisters, Nan Si Ning took out a flying magic weapon and jumped on it.
Just as she was activating the flying magic weapon, she suddenly felt it sink slightly. Turning her head, she saw that it was a little beast that jumped up. Nan Sining was so shocked that she almost fell down.
"You...you...how did you get up here!"
The little beast couldn't speak and could only look at her with its eyes.
Nan Si Ning thought of his childish farewell line and wanted to dig a hole in the yellow sand and bury himself in it!
It's so embarrassing!
Facing the little beast's bright black eyes, Nan Si Ning quickly came back to his senses. Fortunately, the little beast didn't understand anything. He had just imagined and performed a separation drama with all his heart and soul. It didn't understand what it meant at all, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
Nan Si Ning calmed himself down and said, "Then stand still. I'm going to fly!"
As he urged the magic weapon to fly up, the embarrassment in his heart gradually faded away, leaving only ease and pleasure.
After reaching a high altitude, Nan Si Ning couldn't help but turn his head to look at the dark forest. He found that the dark forest was indeed not very big, stretching for only about twenty miles. He had walked for so long in the past two days, but why couldn't he get out of it? He couldn't even see the edge of it?
Nan Si Ning thought for a while but still had no clue. When he turned around and saw the little beast, he found that the little beast didn't even look at the black forest, but only looked at the endless yellow sand with curiosity.
Nan Si Ning couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that this little beast had never left the Black Forest? There was nothing wrong with him leaving the Black Forest, so why didn't he leave?
However, looking at the innocent look on the little animal's face, it probably didn't know what was going on.
Nan Si Ning turned around and thought, forget it, I've picked up many kittens and puppies when picking up trash, and I'm familiar with the process. It's just a matter of feeding it, and this little animal looks easy to feed anyway.
After Nan Sining flew for a distance, a strong intuition came to his mind.
Without much hesitation, she lowered her altitude and jumped off the flying magic weapon. She put the magic weapon into the storage ring, then quickly took out a mercury-like cloak and covered herself and the little beast with it. In an instant, the figures of the man and the beast were covered by the yellow sand scene created by the mercury-colored cloak.
She had just left the Black Forest and was so busy happily contacting her senior brothers and sisters that she forgot that at the entrance to the secret realm, she and Luo Qingyao had planted a tracking method for each other.
That's right, when Luo Qingyao suddenly came up to chat with him and asked for a scolding at the entrance of the secret realm, Nan Sining realized that she had used the tracking method on him, and without thinking, he turned around and used the same method on Luo Qingyao as well.
When two people are within a certain distance, they can sense each other's position.
Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, several figures appeared: "Junior Sister Luo, there is no strange fire here!"
"It's not that there isn't anyone, it's just that there's nothing worthy of Junior Sister Luo."
"Could it be that Junior Sister Luo's perception is wrong..."
"How could Junior Sister Luo be wrong? That strange fire must have disappeared again."
…
Listening to the familiar arguments, Nan Si Ning had the illusion of dreaming back to the secret realm of Luoshui.
A bunch of male cultivators gathered around Luo Qingyao and served her wholeheartedly, and the competition of licking her hands began again.
After Nan Sining looked around, he found that he didn't hear Hu Yan's voice, and couldn't help but look over secretly.
She looked around but couldn't find Hu Yan. She thought he had simply left Luo Qingyao, but then she noticed Hu Yan standing far behind her, looking unhappy.
Nan Si Ning thought about it and agreed. Even if Hu Yan wanted to leave, it would depend on Luo Qingyao's willingness to let him go. Hu Yan's combat power was average as an alchemy cultivator, but he was still in the Golden Core stage. This strange fire secret realm was like the back garden of Medicine King City. With him around, it would be much safer, and the possibility of obtaining the Ziwei Heavenly Fire would be much greater.
Nan Sining could guess why Hu Yan looked unhappy.
With the pride of a third-grade alchemist and Medicine King's direct disciple, Hu Yan certainly wouldn't flatter Luo Qingyao. The two of them were at most a cooperative relationship. How could Luo Qingyao possibly tolerate such an injustice? So she recruited many male cultivators to assist her and pay her attention.
However, many of them were disciples from Yaowang City. Hu Yan must have felt quite ashamed when he saw those unmotivated fellow disciples. It would be strange if he could look happy.
According to what they said, Luo Qingyao came here because she sensed the presence of a powerful strange fire, but in fact, there were only Nan Sining and the little beast here.
Luo Qingyao must have sensed her own position, right? Nan Si Ning thought silently.
Based on the way Luo Qingyao kept chasing him, Nan Sining could easily guess that Luo Qingyao wanted to use him to find the strange fire.
However, in the original novel, the original body did not regain its spiritual intelligence in the Luoshui Secret Realm, and after losing its senior sister, it returned directly to the Canglan Sect. Luo Qingyao was invited by Xiao Jingwen to the secret realm of Yaowang City. Without the guidance and help of the original body, she successfully found the Ziwei Skyfire!
Is Luo Qingyao so unconfident about herself?
Luo Qingyao saw that there was nothing here, and her expression was not very good. However, she had to maintain her image, so she could not vent her anger. She could only say: "Search! Even if the strange fire disappeared, it must have left some traces. Only by following the traces can we catch up again!"
When the male cultivators heard this, they thought it made sense and began to search obediently.
Not only did he search with his spiritual sense, he also searched manually, as if he was determined to find the strange fire.
Nan Sining was very grateful at this time. This cloak was a high-grade magic weapon. It could not only provide visual obstruction, but also conceal the breath and avoid spiritual detection.
But this kind of physical search is a bit troublesome.
Nan Si Ning thought about it, and moved carefully with the little beast, avoiding the search of those male cultivators.
If Hu Yan, who was in the Jindan stage, came, Nan Si Ning would never dare to act so rashly. The rest were at most in the Foundation Establishment stage, and Nan Si Ning didn't take them seriously.
Seeing that everyone couldn't find it, Luo Qingyao gritted her teeth and said to Hu Yan, "Second Brother, can you help search for it?"
Hu Yan glanced at her coldly and said meaningfully, "I'm here to help you, not to be ordered around by you."
Luo Qingyao felt a little resentful, but couldn't refute.
Those male cultivators were not strong enough, and they would not doubt Luo Qingyao's nonsense excuses. But Hu Yan was not so easy to believe.
What kind of strange fire could Luo Qingyao sense, but Hu Yan felt nothing at all?
As long as there is no trace of that special fire, Hu Yan can stay put.
Luo Qingyao turned around, her face twisted with anger. The people she could order around were all idiots, and the capable ones were nowhere to be found. She was really infuriated.
Therefore, you still have to improve your strength and get in touch with more powerful male cultivators in order to better achieve your wish.
Therefore, she must get this Ziwei Heavenly Fire!
Seeing that those male cultivators were useless, Luo Qingyao's patience ran out, and she said in a sharp voice, "All of you get out of the way. I'll do it myself!"
The male cultivators were stunned and said hurriedly, "Junior Sister Luo, don't worry. I'll speed up later!"
"Junior Sister Luo, please wait a moment! I'm sure we'll find the trail soon!"
"Junior Sister Luo, please take a good rest. You haven't had a good rest from yesterday to today."
…
Luo Qingyao's patience, which was already limited, was worn out by the words of these male cultivators. She raised her eyebrows and revealed an unhappy look: "I told you to move aside, so just move aside. Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
When the male cultivators saw Luo Qingyao's expression change, they realized that Junior Sister Luo was really angry, and they all quickly moved aside.
These male cultivators did not think there was anything wrong with Luo Qingyao being angry. Instead, they secretly blamed themselves, thinking that it was because they were useless that Junior Sister Luo had to do the work herself.
Hu Yan rolled his eyes at his fellow disciples, feeling extremely ashamed.
Only Nan Sining was concerned. She had read the entire article and knew how shameless and crazy Luo Qingyao was in her pursuit of strength.
Unable to find her own trace, Luo Qingyao must be furious and might even use some deadly move.
Just as Nan Sining was on guard, Luo Qingyao quickly took out a handful of black balls and scattered them like flowers from heaven before anyone else could see clearly.
Nan Si Ning's sense of crisis suddenly increased. He no longer cared about hiding his body and hurriedly took out the defensive array to cover himself and the little beast inside.
Soon the whole piece exploded with crackling sounds.
Nan Si Ning tried his best to maintain the defensive shield of the formation, cursing Luo Qingyao's ancestors in his heart, and his dad used thunder bombs again!
Last time in the Luoshui Secret Realm, she also used a thunder bomb, which nearly caused her and her senior sister to die at Shekou. This time, she actually threw so many at once?!
One day, she will let Luo Qingyao experience the feeling of being blown up!
Hu Yan felt Nan Si Ning's breath when she took off her concealment cloak and took out the defensive formation. However, the thunder bomb exploded very quickly and was very powerful, so he waited until the thunder bomb exploded and then swept away the smoke and dust. Soon everyone saw Nan Si Ning in the formation.
When Luo Qingyao saw Nan Sining's figure clearly, she smiled happily.
Hu Yan was shocked and furious: "Luo Qingyao! What the hell are you doing! Are you crazy?!"
Although he had previously suspected Luo Qingyao's motives, he hadn't considered it in this direction! Who was Nan Si Ning? He was a guest personally invited by his master and brought to Medicine King City by his senior brother! He was a talented young man who had won the alchemy master exam and became a second-grade alchemist in one fell swoop!
If Nan Si Ning was anyone else from Cijian Peak, Hu Yan wouldn't be so surprised and angry. The main reason was that Nan Si Ning's talent in alchemy was something that even his master valued and cared about!
If Nan Si Ning met with an accident in front of him and his master knew about it, Hu Yan suspected that being expelled from Yaowang City would be the best outcome for him. Given his master's feelings for the master of Cijian Peak, it was very likely that he would kill him directly to atone for the crime!
Not only was Hu Yan furious, but the other disciples of Medicine King City were also horrified. There wasn't a strange fire here, but a person?!
After learning about Nan Si Ning's identity, many people gasped. Who in Yaowang City didn't know her reputation?
If she easily defeated Xiao Jingwen in the duel with him and completed the elixir upgrade in one fell swoop, it would only be spread in a small range. However, if she directly skipped the first-grade alchemist and became a second-grade alchemist in the alchemist exam, she would become famous in the entire Medicine King City and even the alchemy world!
Because the people who spread the former were all disciples of Medicine King City, many people suspected that it was exaggerated, but the latter was the authoritative certification of Medicine King City! It was a signboard and reputation of pure gold!
Although some of these people were helpers and guards hired by the disciples of Yaowang City, they had also heard of Nan Sining's reputation.
Everyone was frozen at this moment, especially Hu Yan's attitude, which had a significant impact on them.
Even the second senior brother, who is his direct disciple, can't handle this, so they can't handle it even more!
When Luo Qingyao heard Hu Yan's accusation, she was furious and scolded Hu Yan bitterly. Was he here to help her or to support Nan Si Ning?!
No matter how resentful she felt, Luo Qingyao knew that she was the one relying on them, not them relying on her. So she acted surprised and frightened, "I... I don't know! I clearly felt that this was the strange fire, so how could it be Junior Sister Nan? Could it be that Junior Sister Nan was somehow connected to the strange fire?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the little black beast beside Nan Si Ning.
She didn't recognize the little beast, but it was obviously not Nan Si Ning's thing. But since it was from this strange fire secret realm, Hu Yan and the others should know about it, right? Could it be related to the Ziwei Heavenly Fire?
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyao felt a little hot in her heart.
However, she soon thought again that in this plot, the book did not mention that there was a small black beast beside Nan Si Ning. Could it be that the plot had developed new complications?
Hu Yan also saw the little beast, but unfortunately, as a Jindan, he could not see anything. There was no news about this little beast in Yaowang City.
"If that little beast is really related to the strange fire, it is also an opportunity for Junior Sister Nan. What? Do you want to snatch the opportunity from your fellow disciple?" Hu Yan glanced at Luo Qingyao, unable to hide his sarcasm.
That look made Luo Qingyao feel like being pricked by needles, but these words also calmed the others down a lot.
After all, that was Nan Si Ning. Even if he snatched her opportunity now, he would probably suffer severe revenge after he got out.
Nan Si Ning not only has the support of Elder Medicine King and the eldest senior brother, but her senior brothers and sisters are also sword practitioners. They are all good at fighting and are really not to be trifled with.
After Nan Sining was blown up like that, although the defensive formation blocked most of the damage, the shock wave still affected her spiritual power. She hurriedly sat down, took the pill, and began to regulate her breathing.
The little beast sat aside, looked at Nan Si Ning who seemed a little weak, then turned to look at Luo Qingyao, as if trying to understand what had happened.
Nan Si Ning awoke after regulating her breathing. Seeing that the little beast seemed a little worried and frightened, she thought that she had also been affected. Although she could not tell the strength of the little beast, she probably could not be completely immune. So she stuffed a recovery pill into the little beast to let it recover.
Nan Si Ning felt relieved only when he saw the little beast swallow the medicine obediently.
Although this little thing looks a little unique, it is very lovable because it takes medicine well. When I picked up kittens and puppies in the past, feeding them medicine was always a big problem.
Moreover, it had just followed me out of the Black Forest, and it suffered this fatal attack because of me. I was a burden to it, and I felt sorry for it.
Luo Qingyao was still doubting the identity of the little beast, but when she saw Nan Si Ning treating the little beast so well, not satisfied with eating the pill herself, but also sharing one with the little beast, she suddenly felt that this thing must be extraordinary! Otherwise, how could Nan Si Ning treat it so well?
Since it is an extraordinary thing and it belongs to Nan Si Ning, she must snatch it away!
But she said innocently, "What did Second Senior Brother say? How could I be the kind of person who would snatch opportunities from my fellow disciples? Did Second Senior Brother get instigated by someone to misunderstand me like this?"
