"Boy, don't waste your energy. It only takes me a few minutes to get her back." Liu Jingyun was filled with resentment, but he refused to admit defeat. He didn't have much time, and Wen Ziqing was still trying to trip him up. If it weren't for the fact that Master Baopu wanted a living disciple, Liu Jingyun would have wanted to kill Wen Ziqing.
"If you release Doctor Li, I will go with you. When we get there, I will give you the remaining half pill. How about it?" Wen Ziqing had been paying attention to Liu Jingyun. Even when he was feeding Li Hongmei the medicine, Wen Ziqing was observing Liu Jingyun's movements out of the corner of his eye.
After Li Hongmei recovered, the greed in Liu Jingyun's eyes did not escape Wen Ziqing's eyes. Although Wen Ziqing felt heartbroken when he gave the elixir to Liu Jingyun, he felt that human life was more important than Li Hongmei's life.
Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, I had to make up my mind in an emergency. Brother Ziqing will find you a better pill later. Deep down, Wen Ziqing felt very sorry for Zhou Yuanyuan. The pill was given to him by Zhou Yuanyuan for self-defense, but he "gave" it away so carelessly. He really felt a little guilty.
However, Wen Ziqing didn't know whether what Liu Jingyun said about the "master" was true at this time. His fighting skills were not as good as Liu Jingyun's. Since the elixir had caught Liu Jingyun's eye and Liu Jingyun wanted it, he snatched it from him. Now he had no way to get it back.
"Really giving it to me? You won't regret it?" Liu Jingyun heard Wen Ziqing say this, retracted his fist, and stood aside. Wen Ziqing's willingness to hand over the pill had Liu Jingyun somewhat overjoyed. Honestly, seeing such a valuable pill in Wen Ziqing's hands, Liu Jingyun had to control himself again and again before he finally resisted the urge to snatch it away.
"No, I, Wen Ziqing, keep my word." Seeing Liu Jingyun's heart moved, Wen Ziqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how much more, Wen Ziqing couldn't help Li Hongmei, he could only pray that Li Hongmei would have good luck and not get lost in the forest again.
Wen Ziqing's prayers had some effect. Li Hongmei, disoriented in the forest, wandered for two days before finally finding her way out. The road from here to the field hospital was through desolate mountains and wilderness. Li Hongmei, relying on a diet of grass roots and wild fruits, searched for nearly a week before finally finding her way back to the frontline garrison. Because of this, Li Hongmei missed Zhou Yuanyuan and her group who had come to investigate.
Seeing Wen Ziqing willing to use the elixir to save Li Hongmei's life, Liu Jingyun weighed the pros and cons and agreed. After all, he wouldn't be out for thirty to fifty years after returning to the mountains. Even if Li Hongmei remembered his appearance, what good would it matter? Even if the entire country wanted him, they'd have to find him. Wen Ziqing's elixir, however, was different. It was so good, and there was no telling if there would be a second one. If you missed this opportunity, you'd miss it.
After Liu Jingyun agreed to the terms of the exchange, he no longer paid any attention to Li Hongmei who had escaped.
On the rest of the journey, Wen Ziqing obeyed Liu Jingyun's arrangements and did not resist anymore.
Unlike Zhou Yuanyuan, Wen Ziqing was blindfolded by Liu Jingyun before entering the Langyuan Secret Realm. This was the rule of the Cultivation Alliance; every new disciple entering the secret realm must be blindfolded and only be allowed to enter and exit the secret realm after reaching the middle stage of Qi training.
After a few minutes, Wen Ziqing took off the black cloth on his eyes and found that they had arrived at the gate of Yushan Sect.
Unlike Zhou Yuanyuan, Wen Ziqing had no idea there were such things as "teleportation arrays"; he still believed he was in the "Forest of Death." According to the common sense Wen Ziqing had learned, a human could only travel a maximum of ten kilometers on foot in a few minutes. Even with Liu Jingyun's cloak, it would only be a few hundred kilometers.
Wen Ziqing had no idea that his own "common sense" would lead him astray. Because of this misjudgment, Wen Ziqing would suffer a great loss in the future. But that was a matter for the future, so let's put it aside for now.
After Liu Jingyun brought Wen Ziqing back, he would definitely go to Jinping Peak to report to Taoist Baopu as soon as possible.
Liu Jingyun's luck was a bit bad. Taoist Baopu had gone out early that morning and was not at Jinping Peak. Liu Jingyun's plan to brag about his achievements to Taoist Baopu and ask for a reward was in vain. Liu Jingyun did not give up and lingered on Jinping Peak until the sky was filled with colorful clouds. However, he did not see Taoist Baopu return and reluctantly went down the mountain.
Wen Ziqing was naturally kept by the Taoist boy from Jinping Peak.
Taoist Baopu often asks the Taoist children these days if they have any news about Wen Ziqing. The Taoist children have heard so much about it that they are naturally curious about Wen Ziqing, the direct disciple who is often mentioned by Taoist Baopu.
Last month, the Taoist Baopu, who never accepted disciples, accepted an "old" disciple. This event caused a great shock in the Yushan Sect. The Taoist Baopu had not accepted a disciple in hundreds of years, and the Yushan Sect's entire staff believed that the Taoist Baopu was too picky and looked down on ordinary people with simple spiritual roots, which was why he would not accept personal disciples.
Zhou Xi was already over sixty, and though he looked a decade younger, for a mortal, this was practically a rare age. Which cultivator didn't cultivate immortality from a young age? A cultivator entering the immortal realm in his sixties was a first for all the cultivators, both large and small, in the Yushan Sect.
These people didn't dare to ask Taoist Baopu, and they all rushed to ask Wu Xiuyun who brought Zhou Xi back, whether Zhou Xi's spiritual roots were particularly good, which was why Elder Baopu valued him so much?
Wu Xiuyun knew nothing, so how could she possibly give a clear answer? This made Zhou Xi's identity seem even more mysterious.
Furthermore, after Zhou Xi became a disciple, he did not live in the "Green Bamboo Cottage" of Taoist Baopu, but instead moved into the cave residence in the back mountain that Taoist Baopu had specially prepared for him, with only a Taoist child named Xiuzhu to serve him. This made Zhou Xi's identity even more mysterious in the eyes of the disciples of Jinping Mountain.
The Taoist child who greeted Wen Ziqing was named Wen Zhu. He was eleven years old, with large, round eyes and a certain cleverness. He had been designated by Taoist Baopu to serve Wen Ziqing, and upon his arrival, Wen Zhu quickly took to his role.
Jinping Peak boasts breathtaking scenery, boasting not only the rustling of pine trees but also dozens of acres of bamboo forest. Taoist Baopu's residence, the "Green Bamboo Cottage," is constructed from the "Emerald Jade Bamboo" grown on Jinping Peak. The "Green Bamboo Cottage" comprises a series of buildings, divided into three sections, front and back, capable of accommodating fifty to sixty people. Each courtyard is elegantly constructed, and the "Emerald Jade Bamboo" that forms the building emits a unique, subtle fragrance that evokes a sense of peace and tranquility.
Strangely enough, the 'Emerald Bamboo' used to build the house lives up to its name. Looking at the other materials in the house, they all have traces of time, but these 'Emerald Bamboo', even after experiencing ups and downs after being cut down, still retain their green color, and look no different from the bamboo growing in the bamboo forest.
