"Disciple." Jing Li quickly picked up the unconscious Ye Xiruo, but Xiu Qiyu was not so lucky and fell heavily to the ground.
Yi Ruowu silently walked over and cast a powerful Holy Light spell. Seeing that Xiu Qiyu's complexion had improved considerably, she stopped and began to examine Xiu Qiyu's injuries.
Unfortunately, her spiritual power was insufficient to assess Xiu Qiyu's internal condition; his external injuries had already healed under the Great Holy Light Technique.
Several fairies from Saintess Peak were also surrounding Ye Xiruo, fearing that something might happen to her.
As for what happened to Qingliantian, it's really not something I can think about right now.
After checking Ye Xiruo inside and out several times and confirming that she had fainted because the spiritual energy in her body was too concentrated and she couldn't digest it for a while, Jing Li finally felt relieved.
"Uncle-Master, is Xiu Qiyu alright?"
Huan Yun glanced at Yi Ruowu and shook her head: "He's fine."
"Then I'm relieved."
"Let's go!" Huan Yun walked straight outside.
Yi Ruowu and the fairies of Huantian Palace followed.
Out of respect for Ye Xiruo, Jing Li also took a look at Xiu Qiyu. Her bewitching eyes widened in surprise. What kind of elixir had she taken? She was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and could break through to the peak of the Golden Core stage at any time.
Moreover, Xiu Qiyu's spiritual energy was extremely abundant, several times that of an ordinary person, and also very concentrated and pure. It seems there's a reason this kid can dominate the younger generation. However, thinking about Xiu Qiyu's terrifying talent and bloodline, Jing Li was still speechless with shock. At this rate, it probably won't be long before they are surpassed.
"He won't die, will he?" Qianye said awkwardly, as if he was afraid others wouldn't know there was something going on between him and Xiu Qiyu.
Jing Li squinted her eyes: "It has damaged the internal organs. He needs to be taken back to the Pill King Palace for proper treatment."
"I think your Pill King Palace wants to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the Azure Lotus Heaven!"
This was a highly skilled rogue cultivator who showed little respect for the Pill King Palace.
"The Azure Lotus Heaven is not on him."
That's the truth.
"So it's your apprentice. You've certainly got a good plan."
Jing Li raised an eyebrow: "The Azure Lotus Heaven is a divine object of heaven and earth, and it has already developed sentience. It is free to choose whomever it wants. Can we stop it? Besides, I have not sensed the aura of the Azure Lotus Heaven."
"Everyone knows you're deliberately protecting your apprentice."
A fairy from Saintess Peak stepped forward: "She indeed does not possess the aura of the Azure Lotus Heaven."
Saintess Peak is one of the four super powers on the continent, alongside Pill King Palace, Medicine King Valley, and Taiyan Divine Sect. It only recruits female disciples, and each generation's Saintess is a powerful figure in the Integration Stage; the sect also boasts many Loose Immortals.
Saintess Peak rarely ventures out into the world, but when the continent faces calamity, the many white-robed disciples of Saintess Peak can always be seen saving lives. Therefore, Saintess Peak enjoys a high reputation on the mainland.
Therefore, the fact that the elders of Saintess Peak are now speaking up for Ye Xiruo has raised a question in everyone's mind: why is that?
"Fellow Daoist Ye is a distinguished guest of our Holy Maiden Peak forever." The fairy took out a small jade token from her spatial ring and handed it to Jing Li.
"This was instructed by the Holy Maiden to be given to Fellow Daoist Ye, so please trouble the Palace Master to pass it on."
"So, the Holy Maiden has given up on competing with me for her disciple?" Jing Li raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. After all, she was the esteemed Holy Maiden, a figure of the same generation as his master. He couldn't very well refuse her outright, but he also couldn't bring himself to hand over his disciple. He was quite taken aback that the Holy Maiden Peak had actually given up first.
"Perhaps it's just not meant to be, but Fellow Daoist Ye will always be the most honored guest of my Saintess Peak."
This was said to everyone present. You may not give face to the Pill King Palace, but if you add the Holy Maiden Peak, the entire continent will tremble.
A big question arose in everyone's mind: what exactly is Ye Xiruo's virtue and ability that makes her valued by both the Pill King Palace and the Holy Maiden Peak?
"On behalf of Xiaoye, I would like to thank the Holy Maiden for her kindness."
The fairies of Mount Sainte quickly departed.
Other factions no longer cared about Qinglian Tian; they needed to quickly spread the news within their sects. Now, the person they couldn't afford to offend had changed again. Her name was Ye Xiruo, who had just been accepted as a closed-door disciple by Jing Li, the master of the Pill King Palace, and was also favored by the Holy Maiden. She herself was weak, and her parents had died early.
These messages reached the hands of major powers across the continent in an instant. Some dismissed them, while others earnestly instructed their disciples to restrain themselves and not to offend this important person.
As for Qinglian Tian, did it fall into the hands of Ye Xiruo, or Xiu Qiyu, or did it escape after severely injuring Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo?
No one knew the truth. Just as those who wanted to find out more information were about to leave, Luoxia Valley announced that Bingxinyan had appeared in the world two years ago and had been subdued by Xiu Qiyu.
The entire continent was once again shocked. No wonder Xiu Qiyu possessed such strength at such a young age; it turned out he had the aid of a different kind of fire. No wonder he was able to easily defeat the Demon Prince, Wuqingzui, last time. Different kinds of fire are the nemesis of all demons.
It wasn't that no one doubted the veracity of this news. After all, Xiu Qiyu had never used any strange fire in battle, and coupled with his mutated ice spirit root and icy sword energy, it seemed to create a sense of both ice and fire.
Jing Li directly posted a message: "The Ice Heart Flame is indeed on Xiu Qiyu. The two have fought before. Xiu Qiyu has become a guest elder of the Pill King Hall and is protected by the Pill King Hall."
The mainland was once again thrown into turmoil by the Ice Heart Flame, a terrifying existence ranked ninth on the list of extraordinary flames of heaven and earth. It was translucent and appeared delicate, as if a gust of wind could blow it away, but it could suppress inner demons and burn the soul, combining ice and fire. Those with ice or water spiritual roots would be greatly enhanced if they possessed it.
Xiu Qiyu is indeed a chosen one of heaven, with astonishing luck.
As for the whereabouts of Qingliantian, no one is curious anymore. It's unlikely that Xiu Qiyu is the one to take over. Qingliantian's ranking is far lower than Bingxinyan's, and if it were to choose Xiu Qiyu as its master, it would certainly be devoured. Qingliantian would never make such a choice.
As for Ye Xiruo, there's no way to secretly kill her or threaten her into handing over Qingliantian now.
Didn't you see Jing Li personally carry Ye Xiruo back to the Pill King Palace, and even ask the Supreme Elder to check her injuries? Three days later, the bright red invitation to take on disciples spread throughout the entire continent.
Everyone was incredibly curious about Ye Xiruo, and at the same time, incredibly jealous of her. What incredible luck she had!
Jing Li didn't care about any of that. Anyway, Qinglian Tian was now in his disciple's hands. Let's see who dares to make a move under his nose.
