Chapter 335 It truly is a Heavenly Spirit Body!
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the woman in black robes before them; she was the one who had possessed and hidden the soul within the city.
The man in blue smiled wryly and said, "Young lady, are you kidding me? He's at the late Nascent Soul stage now, and he has so many powerful cultivators around him. Who would dare to risk their life to take his blood?"
"Exactly, this suggestion is pointless."
"Everyone, please take a look." As soon as she finished speaking, Xinhun Yin took out a small, crystal-clear jade bottle from her storage bag. "There is a drop of blood in here. I obtained it by chance. It is Ye Luo's blood."
"What?! Is this real?!"
"Of course." Xin Hun Yin chuckled softly. "This young lady is also quite curious. I wonder if anyone here would be willing to step forward and verify this, thus answering our questions?"
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, and finally their gazes settled on the gray-robed elder. "Elder Lin, you are a Grand Alchemist, and your aptitude is the highest here. Why don't you come and take a look?"
A smug look flashed across the old man's face. He stroked his slightly long beard and coughed lightly: "Young lady, bring it here, let this old man take a look at it for you."
Upon hearing this, Xin Hunyin's eyes twitched, and he cursed inwardly. He could only respectfully present the small jade bottle, saying, "Elder Lin, you must take a good look at this."
"Hmm." Lin Qisheng held the small bottle in his hand, carefully examining the blood suspended inside, then opened the cap and sniffed it.
Suddenly, he opened his cloudy old eyes and swallowed the drop of blood in one gulp. He then sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
Everyone was puzzled by his sudden action. Just as someone was about to ask, Lin Qisheng, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly unleashed a powerful surge of spiritual energy and burst into excited laughter.
"Hahaha, I've actually gained over a hundred years of lifespan! Heaven truly hasn't forsaken me!"
"What?!" Everyone's faces were full of surprise as they looked at him, his face glowing and his eyes shining, clearly not faking it.
"This...this...could it really be the blood of the Heavenly Spirit Treasure?!"
"That's right, that's right, it's really a good thing..." Lin Qisheng seemed very excited, talking to himself, "I never thought that I would encounter such an opportunity when my lifespan was about to end! With this lifespan, I have hope of breaking through! Hahahaha!"
Hearing his mutterings, everyone present was filled with regret. They should have verified it themselves, instead of wasting this precious drop of blood.
Seeing the effect, the Soul Guide revealed a triumphant smile, then feigned regret and sighed, "Alas, it's a pity I only obtained one drop. If only I could get more precious blood."
More blood?
These words caused everyone present to exchange glances, each noticing a fleeting glint of greed in the other's eyes.
It was common knowledge that Ye Luo was still in the southern city at this time, and everyone was starting to make plans and were beginning to get restless.
"Fellow Daoists, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
"Hehe, me too."
One by one, those present found excuses to leave, and in no time, only a handful of people remained in the teahouse.
Xin Hun Yin chuckled softly, slowly rose, straightened his sleeves, and turned to walk into a side room. "Go, spread the news far and wide, and send people to keep an eye on the people from Peach Blossom Valley. Make sure they don't leave Nancheng."
"Yes!" Several black-clad cultivators responded and left. Xinhunyin pushed open the window of the pavilion and looked at the towering inn in the distance. The fiery red sunset on the horizon was very beautiful.
"Ah, it's my turn."
...
However, undercurrents were surging within the city, and the group from Peach Blossom Valley, who had been under surveillance and investigation at the inn, were completely unaware of the situation outside.
"Ugh, this is so annoying." Yu Qianling was in a bad mood, sprawled on the small couch fiddling with the tea set. "I'm going to find my junior brother and the others!"
The investigation over the past two days, which involved the Immortal Alliance separating them, has made her somewhat anxious.
"Alright, get up and eat some spiritual fruit." Yu Xuan soothed her gently, holding the peeled fruit to her lips. "Just bear with it a little longer. Tomorrow morning, Master will announce the results, and Peach Blossom Valley will be cleared of all wrongdoing."
"Hmm..." Yu Qianling chewed on the sweet fruit, looked at Yu Xuan in front of her and asked, "So... you've figured it out? Tell me about it!"
Yu Xuan looked at her without saying a word, glanced at the elder outside the door, smiled and nodded at her, and whispered, "Don't worry, you'll be fine."
Hearing his words, Yu Qianling breathed a sigh of relief and lay down, resting her head on the back of her head. "It wasn't us who did it in the first place, so I'm not worried at all!"
"Yes, I believe you."
"Trust me?" Yu Qianling looked at him, leaned closer curiously, and asked, "If I really did it, what would you do to me?"
The woman's delicate fragrance wafted to his nose, causing Yu Xuan's hand holding the fruit plate to tremble. He hurriedly looked away and said in a hoarse voice, "You wouldn't... and you're not like that."
"Well, since you said that, I'll give you a piece." Yu Qianling grinned, took a piece of fruit from the bowl and plate, and mimicked his mannerisms, bringing it to her lips. Seeing him staring at her blankly, she urged, "Tsk, open your mouth and eat it!"
Yu Xuan chuckled as she came to her senses, opened her mouth and ate the fruit she was offered. Her warm lips accidentally brushed against her fingertips, causing Yu Xuan to pull her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.
At this moment, a gentle breeze rustled through the window curtains, causing the red gauze to sway in the wind, creating a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
Yu Xuan looked at her dark eyes, then held her hand tightly and kissed her fingertips with burning eyes.
"What are you doing..." Yu Qianling blushed with embarrassment and tried to pull her hand away from his tight grip, but he held it firmly.
"I want to kiss you."
"If you go any further, I'll hit you..." Yu Qianling lowered her eyes in embarrassment and anger, speaking without any force, which made Yu Xuan's smile even wider.
"Alright, let's fight." Yu Xuan abandoned his usual aloof and reserved demeanor, kissing her palm affectionately and playfully, causing her delicate body to tremble and her eyes to redden.
"You, you bastard!"
"Knock knock knock—!" An untimely knock came at this moment. Mu Tai's attendant pushed the door open and entered. He covered his smile as he looked at the two of them and said respectfully, "Young Master, the Alliance Leader asked me to invite Miss Yu over for a chat."
"Oh, let's go, let's go!" Yu Qianling breathed a sigh of relief, quickly jumped off the small couch and ran outside, leaving Yu Xuan with a wry smile.
"Sigh, it really is a long and arduous journey..."
