Chapter 38 How many people have you told me that you are my best friend?
Qingxuan received no support from Xie Xiyi, and could only hold Mingxin in one hand while struggling with the other, standing and retreating. In the end, he had nowhere to retreat and could only let Mingxin be swept away by the crimson fog.
Chi Yu saw this scene and was about to say something to Xie Xiyi, but Xie Xiyi interrupted him, "If you want to beg for mercy on his behalf, then you don't have to bother."
Chi Yu was stunned and quickly said, "No, no, I don't mean to beg for mercy on his behalf."
How could he possibly be so confused about right and wrong? He'd listened to the Crown Prince and secretly attacked him. Senior Brother Qingxuan hadn't denied it, so he'd likely seen it too. If that was the case, how could he possibly ask the Crown Prince to save him? Wouldn't that be like being a nobody?
Chi Yu said, "I want to ask, Senior Brother Xuanji, can you really handle this?"
As he spoke, he used his sword to blow away the thick fog. Although he was extremely nervous, Chi Yu was not afraid because he had the prince by his side to protect him.
Xie Xiyi said, "This isn't something you should be worrying about—upper right, don't be distracted. Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"
Chi Yu: "..."
Even the principal is not so strict!
However, he knew that Senior Brother Xuan Ji was guiding him without any effort. Although he was only a senior brother in name, he was already a master in reality.
He no longer divided his attention to others, and honestly and wholeheartedly swung the sword according to Xie Xiyi's instructions. Even though his arms were dull and painful from swinging, he did not dare to stop for a moment, for fear of disappointing the prince's kindness.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Chi Yu was completely out of strength. There was no spiritual energy left in his body, and his meridians were aching slightly. It was obvious that he had reached his limit.
The crimson fog attacked again. He gritted his teeth and was about to hold on when a large hand grasped his sword. Senior Brother Xuan Ji's voice, tinged with laughter, rang in his ears, "That's enough."
Chi Yu raised his head and looked at Xie Xiyi, a smile appeared on his face, "Senior Brother Xuanji, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
Xie Xiyi lowered his head slightly to look at him. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his small face, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and his eyes were as bright as stars.
Xie Xiyi's heart moved slightly, but his smile remained unchanged. He chuckled and said, "It's still a long way from the point where I won't be disappointed - but you have done the best you can."
Chi Yu's smile deepened, and he said happily, "Yes! I've made a lot of progress!"
Xie Xiyi looked at his smile, paused slightly, and looked away, "Come behind me."
Although he said that, he took a step forward without waiting for Chi Yu to move, protecting Chi Yu behind him.
Qingxuan, who was not far away, finally saw Xuanji take action.
The thick fog and light snakes transformed from the crimson demon seed were existences that could not be killed by ordinary spells. After all, they were demon seeds, a killer weapon bred by the demons to infect the righteous monks, and were naturally immune to many spells.
Only the techniques of Zen can truly kill the demons.
All the attacks they are making now are just to repel the demons.
Qingxuan has just entered the Zen sect for more than three months and is still in the stage of training his mind. He is not at the stage of learning Zen techniques at all. Therefore, if all the people in Paradise City are magic cultivators, the only one their team can rely on is Xuanji.
Xuan Ji entered the second level of Zen Light and Sound Heaven Realm. At this level, he could practice the secret Buddhist methods of killing. This was something Qing Xuan had inquired about early on.
Now I finally see it.
Xuan Ji made a hand seal with his hands, and a huge colorful lotus rose behind him. The lotus was magnificent, emitting golden threads of light. The light spun like a spinning bucket, and countless golden threads of light flew out, dispersing the deep red fog. Countless blood-like demon seeds had their blood color sucked out by the golden light, and turned into snow-white jade beads that fell one after another, making a pleasant "ding-dong" sound when they collided on the golden and jade tiles.
The golden light dissipated, and the huge lotus shattered into countless petals that flew everywhere. The tightly closed palace gate suddenly opened, and the petals spun around and flew out. A faint cry of surprise came from outside, and the hidden evil spirit in Paradise City broke free. In an instant, the sky was dark, and dusk was gloomy, revealing the momentum of an impending storm.
Qingxuan took a deep breath and immediately turned to look for Mingxin.
Mingxin was sucked into a wing room by the thick fog. This was a relatively safe nest for the demons. The cultivators were their prey. They were sucked into the illusion to extract their innate spiritual energy. If it was drained, they would become puppets of the demons, like the "female" cultivator named Wanwan.
Qingxuan figured out the secrets of Paradise Palace, and knew that after such a commotion, the remaining demons would not show mercy.
Sure enough, when he passed by the wing room he had pushed open before, he could see in his peripheral vision the monk trapped in layers of curtains making a vague "uh uh" sound from his throat. His struggling outstretched hand seemed to be drying up. This was because not only had his innate spiritual energy been drained, but even his flesh and blood had been drained.
We can't delay any longer!
Qingxuan quickly used the contract between them to find Mingxin. Mingxin's face was already pale. Qingxuan reached out to touch her, and his brows suddenly frowned.
Obviously, most of his senior brother's spirit had been extracted.
Without further ado, he pointed two fingers at the spiritual platform on his forehead, lent out some of his clear spiritual consciousness, and penetrated into Mingxin's forehead. After a lot of effort, he finally woke him up from the illusion.
After Mingxin woke up, his face changed drastically, his lips trembled, and he said in disbelief: "My cultivation has dropped! I've fallen to the initial stage of foundation building!"
His cultivation in the foundation-building stage was not very stable and was shaky. Not only that, half of his innate spiritual energy had been extracted, and his talent would only be worse!
Qingxuan slapped him and said coldly, "It's good enough that you're still alive. Calm down."
Mingxin took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. His Yuan Yang was gone, and he had lost half of his innate spiritual energy. His talent had plummeted, and his ability to comprehend would also decline. His foundation! - It could be said that half of it was destroyed!
Xuanji!!
It’s Xuan Ji’s fault!
As soon as Qingxuan saw the change in his expression, he knew what he was thinking. He lowered his voice and said, "If you still have the strength to spare, stand up and follow me. The entire Paradise Palace is full of demons, and the demon cultivators have not yet appeared. If you don't kill the demon cultivators, your realm will have fallen in vain. Do you understand?"
Mingxin forced himself to calm down and said, "I understand."
He stood up, straightened his robes slightly, and listened to Qingxuan say, "I know you have many complaints about Senior Brother Xuanji, but Senior Brother Xuanji is very strong. I hope you can stay away from him for the time being and never have any conflict with him again. - The same goes for Junior Brother Long."
Although Mingxin was extremely reluctant, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.
After all, Qingxuan saved him many times, and this junior brother is the only one he can rely on and trust.
Qingxuan did not find it easy to do the psychological work of enlightening his mind.
Xuan Ji is too arrogant, Qing Xuan thought, so arrogant that people want to crush him.

Chi Yu picked up the jade bead that fell on the ground and found that although the material looked like jade, it was actually a seed.
Xie Xiyi walked up to him and explained, "This is a demon seed, but its demonic nature has been eradicated."
Chi Yu said, "I know."
The presence of the demon species in "Shentu" has always been very strong. This thing can infect normal monks and control them unknowingly. It is like a terminal illness that has no cure. Once infected, the only option is to kill.
Divine Path will inhumanely destroy any cultivator infected with the demon seed, leaving no room for negotiation. But seeing Senior Brother Xuan Ji's methods... Chi Yu couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji, if I accidentally get this demon seed inside me, can you save me?"
Xie Xiyi smiled slightly and said, "It depends on my mood."
Chi Yu's eyes lit up, "So it can be done? Then you scared me just now, Senior Brother Xuan Ji."
Xie Xiyi said nonchalantly: "If I don't say this, will you try your best?"
Chi Yu said confidently, "Of course I will. Even though you, Brother Xuanji, are there to back me up, I won't put all my hopes on you."
He paused, his voice deepened, and he said quite seriously, "I am also growing up. Brother, you can rest assured that I will not always hide behind you and beg for your protection."
Xie Xiyi looked at his face, his smile faded slightly, and said, "I hope so. ————Since you've made such a big promise, how many hours a day do you plan to practice in the future?"
Chi Yu: "..."
You only regret not having read enough books when you need them. Similarly, when you are in actual practice, you will realize how lazy you are in normal times.
Chi Yu said sadly, "From now on, I will practice for 10 hours a day!"
I won’t write the test paper for now.

Chi Yu thought of the monks in the Paradise Palace and asked, "Senior Brother Xuanji, shall we go and rescue those monks?"
However, Xie Xiyi was very indifferent to this and asked, "Why should I save you?"
Chi Yu was slightly surprised, "You won't save me?"
Xie Xiyi said in a cold voice: "If they choose to enter the Paradise Palace, they will have to face the dangers there. The world of cultivation is full of battlefields and the situation is changing rapidly. This is the way of heaven, and there is no need to interfere."
He smiled again and said to Chi Yu: "If you want to save me, I won't stop you."
Chi Yu felt a chill in her heart at his meaningful smile. She felt that he was holding back evil, and said dryly, "...but I don't know how to save him."
Xie Xiyi asked, "So you're asking me to save you?"
Chi Yu: "..."
He suddenly realized and immediately confessed: "I understand, Brother."
He didn't have the ability to do such a thing, so how could he force the prince to do it?
This is moral kidnapping!
Seeing him so well-behaved, Xie Xiyi had a thought and finally said a few more words: "Don't make close friends with other cultivators. The world of cultivation is a jungle of the weak. Some people will kill you just because they see a Xumi ring on your hand even if you save them."
He continued indifferently, "There are no so-called bonds in the world of cultivation. Friendship, family affection, and love are all stumbling blocks on the great path, as insignificant as dust."
Chi Yu said: "But Senior Brother Xuan Ji, you are very kind to me."
Xie Xiyi said coldly: "Is giving you a few words of advice considered good for you?"
Chi Yu said frankly: "Of course! Senior Brother Xuanji not only gave me advice, but also cared for me as much as he cared for Xiaoqiu, and treated me like one of his own. Senior Brother Xuanji, you are my best friend. I wish to thank you for all the years to come, and to be your long-lasting friend. [1]"
As he said this, he gave Xie Xiyi a brilliant smile. His sweaty cheeks now glowed with a soft glow, his lips were red, his teeth were white, and his eyes were clear, as bright as the sun.
Xie Xiyi looked at his face, his golden eyes flashing slightly, but his tone was still cold and indifferent: "Best friend? But I remember, isn't your best friend Xiaoqiu?"
The corners of his lips curved up, and his voice was pleasant yet tinged with sarcasm. "You're quite flexible. How many people have you said this to?"
Chi Yu's smile froze: "..."
Eh?
Why do I feel a little...sour?
