Yu Kui and Han Chen have had a tough time these past two days.
The two of them came looking for the pills, and there were also many other demonic beasts who followed the scent with them.
Dealing with third-tier demonic beasts is not difficult. If it is a fourth-tier demonic beast, the two of them can easily deal with it together. However, if it is two or three fourth-tier demonic beasts together, it will not be so easy for the two of them.
The two originally intended to find Su Qing and get some healing pills to recover, but who would have thought that in the past two days, not only had they not found Su Qing, but they had also suffered many more injuries.
Han Chen, in particular, had only recently established his foundation and his combat strength was only average. If he hadn't been hoping to find Su Qing so he could have some medicine to heal his injuries, he probably would have been eliminated on the spot.
“Crescent Lake is just ahead,” Yu Kui said, looking at the simple map in her hand.
"If we pass Crescent Lake, then we can go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, right? Has Junior Sister Su Qing already gone in?" Han Chen wearily raised his head.
“Junior Sister Su Qing should be refining pills here. The aroma of the pills here is much stronger than in other places,” Yu Kui said.
Yu Kui was accompanied by a third-tier spirit beast, the Wind-Eroding Spirit Dog.
The Wind-Erosion Spirit Dog isn't a high-level dog, but it's very useful for finding people and things. Yu Kui chose this Wind-Erosion Spirit Dog from the Spirit Beast Room because of its sensitive nose.
Yu Kui originally thought that with the help of the Wind-Eroding Spirit Dog, she could find spiritual herbs and medicines.
I didn't find many spiritual herbs and medicines in this vast landscape painting, but I used it to find Su Qing first.
“Senior Brother Yu Kui, you are also an alchemist who has studied under Elder Shui Qingchen. Why don’t you refine a pill right here and we can heal our injuries here?” Han Chen said.
Yu Kui was depressed.
"I'd like to too, but in order to deal with that fifth-tier Ironback Giant Wolf, we even threw the alchemy furnace out to fight. How can we refine pills now?"
This is Yu Kui's greatest pain!
He, a dignified alchemist, had actually reached the point where he had no medicine to heal his injuries, and he wished he could just quit the game right there.
Han Chen then remembered that half of his head had been swallowed by the Ironback Giant Wolf's sharp teeth, and the stench had left him completely stunned. He thought he was doomed...
It was at that moment that Yu Kui threw something, and he was dragged away by Yu Kui. It turned out that what she threw was an alchemy furnace.
Han Chen's cheeks flushed.
The alchemy furnace is the lifeblood of an alchemist. Senior Brother Yu Kui sacrificed so much to save him.
Throughout the journey, he was carefree and thoughtless. Now that I think about it, he really dragged Senior Brother Yu Kui down.
"Senior Brother Yu Kui, I will definitely give you a super good alchemy furnace in the future," Han Chen said.
Yu Kui waved her hand, not wanting to say anything more to Han Chen.
Suddenly, Han Chen pointed ahead and shouted, "My God, what's that?!"
Beside Crescent Lake, a transparent ice pyramid stands, resembling a masterpiece of nature under the sunlight.
Inside the transparent pyramid, Su Qing was sitting cross-legged, cultivating.
At this moment, Su Qing was enveloped in a golden halo, and in the morning light, she looked as dazzling as a fairy!
"Junior Sister Su Qing!" Han Chen was about to call out when Yu Kui covered his mouth.
"Shh, don't disturb her cultivation."
Yu Kui whispered in Han Chen's ear.
Han Chen quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
Su Qing has been at Crescent Lake for three days and has taken three Yaoling Pills. At this time, her meridians and dantian are many times stronger than when she first established her foundation.
Even when using one's inner sense, one can vaguely see a faint golden light in the meridians and dantian. This is left by the Eternal Golden Lotus as it stabilizes the meridians and dantian. If one could imbue the meridians and dantian with a layer of golden light, that would be wonderful.
"What are you doing here?" A cold voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Yu Kui and Han Chen turned their heads and saw Xuan Qingye standing there straight, holding a sword. The area within three meters around her was icy cold, and her aloofness made people afraid to approach.
"Xuan Qingye?" Han Chen looked at Xuan Qingye, his face turning pale.
Almost none of the inner disciples of the Xuanling Sect had ever seen Xuan Qingye, but they had always kept her legends.
Xuan Qingye, a disciple personally taught by the sect leader, possesses an ice-attribute unique spiritual root.
After joining the Xuanling Sect, he reached the peak of the Qi Refining stage within a month, but he suppressed his cultivation and only reached the Foundation Establishment stage a year later.
Legend has it that when he was building his foundation, it caused a change in the heavens and earth, covering the area within a hundred miles with ice and snow, and even almost attracted heavenly lightning.
Such a dazzling genius is a legendary figure even among the inner disciples.
I never expected to see this genius in the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting.
Xuan Qingye frowned slightly. He recognized the disciple robes Han Chen and Yu Kui were wearing; they were both inner sect disciple robes, indicating that they were both inner sect disciples of the Xuanling Sect.
“Someone is cultivating here, don’t disturb her.” Xuan Qingye said, and with a light stroke of her sword, an ice line appeared in front of Han Chen and Yu Kui. “Do not cross this line.”
Han Chen and Yu Kui couldn't help but take a step back. Xuan Qingye's icy aura made them feel that if they accidentally crossed this line, they would probably be frozen solid.
Xuan Qingye glanced in the direction where Su Qing was cultivating and saw that the ice crystal-like pyramid was surrounded by dense spiritual energy with golden light. This golden spiritual energy swirled and was frantically absorbed into Su Qing's body, making Su Qing shine brightly.
"Senior Brother Yu Kui, Xuan Qingye, is he... protecting Junior Sister Su Qing?" Han Chen asked in a low voice.
“That’s Junior Sister Su Qing, she deserves it!” Yu Kui said.
Han Chen nodded in agreement.
The two of them felt that it was only natural for Xuan Qingye to protect Su Qing, after all, their junior sister was so outstanding.
However, the Xuanling Sect leader outside couldn't save face.
That's Xuan Qingye, his most beloved disciple! How could she be assigned to protect a mere outer disciple? Ahhhh, no, this absolutely won't do.
Therefore, the Xuanling Sect leader had already made up his mind that even if people called him shameless, he would still take Su Qing from Shui Qingchen and make her his personal disciple.
From now on, Xuan Qingye will be the senior brother and Su Qing will be the junior sister. It's only natural for the senior brother to protect the junior sister.
Shui Qingchen was unaware that her precious disciple had already caught the attention of the sect leader. At this moment, she was only thinking that Yu Kui had finally found Su Qing and that the two of them could enter the Ten Thousand Demon Valley together. Perhaps their two disciples from Jade Maiden Peak could achieve good results in this selection.
Finally, all the spiritual energy around Su Qing was absorbed into her body. Then, with a bang, the icy pyramid shattered, and Su Qing slowly opened her eyes.
After her meridians and dantian were nourished by the Eternal Golden Lotus, Su Qing felt as if she had been reborn.
With a gentle lift of her hand, a bolt of purple lightning swirled at her fingertips. Then, with a light pinch between her index finger and thumb, the purple lightning transformed into a purple streak that disappeared into her body.
Her spiritual root has actually evolved!
