"Me? I just happened to be passing by!"
"The location of Xuanling Spring is in this direction. I wanted to go there quickly, but I didn't expect to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess and Dean Qin Xuan on the way!"
After hearing Jiang Bingchan's words, Nie Wan hurriedly spoke.
He didn't mean to block Her Royal Highness the Princess and Dean Qin Xuan outside the cave. It was just a coincidence that he passed by here at this time and saw Her Royal Highness the Princess and Dean Qin Xuan walking out of the cave together.
"I'm just worried that Her Royal Highness the Princess might get into danger alone. If Dean Qin Xuan is with Her Royal Highness the Princess, I'll feel relieved!"
"I just don't know how Her Royal Highness the Princess and Dean Qin Xuan came out of this cave. Is there any opportunity here?"
Nie Wan continued to speak, and the more he spoke, the more a smile appeared in the depths of his eyes.
His previous sentence sounded quite serious. After all, he had basically been walking behind Qin Xuan all the way.
Relying on the corpses of those powerful ferocious beasts and the corpses of the elders of the Sky-Slaying Sect, it can be inferred that Qin Xuan possesses inhumanly powerful combat power.
With Qin Xuan by Jiang Bingchan's side, Jiang Bingchan must be safe.
...
...
The latter sentence was a little bit improper. He deliberately mentioned the incident of Qin Xuan and Jiang Bingchan walking out of the cave just to see Qin Xuan and Jiang Bingchan's reactions and hear how they would explain it.
Qin Xuan and Jiang Bingchan, one is the president of the Daqin Martial Academy, and the other is the eldest princess of the Dafeng royal family. Both of them have extremely prominent identities. It would be so sweet to be able to eat their melons!
“Ahem!”
"There is a magical herb in this cave. Bingchan and I entered the cave mainly to pick that magical herb!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan also started to make up a story.
It was actually his fault that he was a little careless. Before opening the barrier, he actually forgot to check whether there was anyone outside the barrier.
However, Nie Wan's arrival was really too damn coincidental, he blocked them at exactly the right time.
If he was not confident in his own barrier, he would even have suspected that Nie Wan had discovered something unusual about the cave and was deliberately blocking it outside, pretending to be passing by.
“That’s right!”
"Qin Xuan and I did discover a rare spiritual medicine in this cave, so we went in together!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Bingchan hurriedly spoke up with Qin Xuan.
“So that’s how it is!”
After hearing what Qin Xuan and Jiang Bingchan said, Nie Wan nodded on the surface, as if he believed what they said, but deep down in his heart he didn't believe it at all. Instead, he became more convinced that something had happened between them.
Didn’t you see that Dean Qin Xuan calls Her Royal Highness the Princess Bingchan, and Her Royal Highness the Princess also calls Dean Qin Xuan by her name.
Even though their intimate terms of address were exposed, they still wanted to deceive him. They were really trying to cover up the truth!
"Okay! The most important thing now is to go and bathe in the Xuanling Spring as soon as possible, and stop worrying about these things!"
"That's right! Time is running out, let's go to the Xuanling Spring quickly!"
Qin Xuan and Jiang Bingchan spoke in unison.
Immediately, the two of them ignored Nie Wan and flew towards the Xuanling Spring after they finished speaking.
"Why!"
"Dean Qin Xuan, Her Royal Highness the Princess, wait for me!"
Looking at the figures of Qin Xuan and Jiang Bingchan walking away, Nie Wan hurriedly chased after them.
If Qin Xuan were alone, he would definitely not go with them, but now that Her Royal Highness Princess Jiang Bingchan is also here, he must follow.
After all, Jiang Bingchan is the disciple of the Imperial Master. To the powerful men in the Imperial Master's Mansion, she not only has the status of the eldest princess, but is also the heir to the Imperial Master's Mansion and the person they need to follow in the future.
Besides that, he still hasn't figured out what happened between Dean Qin Xuan and Her Royal Highness the Princess. He still hasn't figured out the whole story, so how can he give up halfway!
Just like that, Qin Xuan, Jiang Bingchan and Nie Wan flew towards the location of Xuanling Spring together.
The valley where Jiang Bingchan was surrounded by Yan Sui and his men was not far from the central area where Xuanling Spring was located.
Therefore, as the three of them flew at full speed, they soon reached the central area where they could bathe in the Xuanling Spring.
Wow!
Above the sky, there is a huge crack, filled with a dark glow, like a black hole connected to the outside world, continuously pouring out mysterious spiritual spring water like golden spiritual energy towards this world.
The Xuanling spring water falls from the sky, and every drop of it contains wisps of pure spiritual energy, like a spiritual waterfall that is infused into this world from outside the heaven and earth. It is magnificent, brilliant and dazzling.
Under the mysterious spiritual spring water that continuously falls from the sky to this world, there is a huge spiritual spring lake. The surface of the lake is sparkling, flashing dazzling golden light, and a vibrant breath rises from it.
The spiritual energy in the void is extremely pure. Just breathing it in will make people feel relaxed and happy, and the spiritual power in their limbs will even flow faster.
Above Lingquan Lake, there are huge lotus leaves of various shapes floating on the water.
On these lotus leaves, there are figures sitting cross-legged.
They closed their eyes, practiced their skills, and bathed in the Xuanling Spring water that was pouring down from the sky, continuously absorbing and refining the Xuanling Spring water that contained pure spiritual power.
These figures were the many military marquises from the two dynasties who entered the Xuanling ruins. Like Qin Xuan, after entering the Xuanling ruins, they rushed non-stop to the location of the Xuanling Spring.
However, after they entered the Xuanling ruins, their initial position was closer to the Xuanling Spring, so they had to arrive earlier than Qin Xuan.
Of course, it also has something to do with the time Qin Xuan and Jiang Bingchan wasted in the cave. Otherwise, with Qin Xuan's speed, he would be able to catch up with them and arrive here in about the same time as these people.
"Your Highness, Princess, Brother Nie, you are finally here!"
When Qin Xuan and his companions arrived at the central area where they could bathe in the Xuanling Spring, the other six martial marquises of the National Master's Mansion gathered around them.
After they arrived here, they hadn't seen Jiang Bingchan. Only now, when they saw Nie Wan and Jiang Bingchan together, did they feel relieved.
"Master Qin Xuan!"
When the six martial marquises from the National Master's Mansion surrounded them, four martial marquises from the Alchemy Alliance also surrounded them.
The alchemists of the Dan League admired Qin Xuan extremely. Now that they were able to see Qin Xuan in the Xuanling Ruins, they naturally came over to greet him.
"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess is safe and sound, we are relieved!"
"Yes! Everyone can go and bathe in the Xuanling Spring without worry!"
"This is the last time the Xuanling Ruins will be opened. We really made it in time!"
The other six martial marquises of the Imperial Master's Mansion also exchanged pleasantries when they saw Qin Xuan.
Although they are not like Nie Wan, they know Qin Xuan's terrifying fighting power and they have awe for Qin Xuan from the bottom of their hearts.
But Qin Xuan is the dean of the Great Qin Martial Academy after all, and has a close relationship with the Free Sword King. Plus, the eldest princess and the imperial teacher both want to make friends with Qin Xuan, so their attitude towards Qin Xuan must be good.
After some greetings, they prepared to bathe in the Xuanling Spring.
Before, the eldest princess Jiang Bingchan had not arrived for a long time, and they were all worried. They had searched the surrounding area, but could not find any trace of Jiang Bingchan, so they kept waiting here.
Now that Jiang Bingchan has arrived safely, they can finally go to bathe in the Xuanling Spring.
They are basically at the level of six-star martial marquis or above. Every breakthrough in realm is a huge improvement for them, both in terms of lifespan and strength.
Therefore, they all attach great importance to the opening of the Xuanling ruins this time, because they are not like Qin Xuan, whose talent is unlimited, and the difference in breaking through the realm is just a matter of speed.
This time, the Xuanling ruins are an opportunity for them to break the upper limit of their talents.
They were naturally very anxious.
"Master Qin Xuan, look, this is the elixir I made. Is it very close to extraordinary quality?"
"Master Qin Xuan, why do I feel that the elixir I have refined is already flawless, but still cannot reach perfect quality?"
"Master Qin Xuan, what is the secret to refining an extraordinary elixir?"
Compared to the six marquises in the National Master's Mansion who were eager to bathe in the Xuanling Spring, the four marquises in the Alchemy Alliance were not in a hurry at all.
They asked Qin Xuan all their recent questions about the path of alchemy.
For alchemists like them, although the martial arts realm is important, it is still somewhat inferior to the improvement of alchemy.
Just like scientists in previous lives, they do not pay too much attention to the accumulation of wealth, but hope to make further progress on the technological level.
Therefore, for these martial marquises of the Dan League, the opportunity of the Xuanling Spring is certainly important, but being able to listen to the teachings of Master Qin Xuan is definitely more worthwhile.
Jiang Bingchan, Nie Wan and the six martial marquises from the National Master's Mansion were all surprised when they saw that the four martial marquises from the Alchemy League were so respectful to Qin Xuan.
In their eyes, these fifth-grade alchemists of the Dan League were all arrogant, because usually others would go to them to ask them to refine pills.
Even though he was a powerful Wu Hou warrior whose realm was higher than theirs, they were still rude to him and showed no respect at all. Instead, they had to be respected, otherwise they would not make good pills for you.
Just like Yan Sui, he was lucky enough to meet a fifth-rank alchemist who was in urgent need of money, otherwise, he would never be able to get the powerful Hualing Chunsan.
And now, the four fifth-grade alchemists from the Dan League in front of them were so respectful to Qin Xuan. They asked Qin Xuan questions one after another, like obedient and studious students. It really shocked them.
Especially Nie Wan. Among the four fifth-grade alchemists of the Alchemy Alliance, he had actually visited one of them and asked him to help him refine pills.
As a result, the fifth-rank alchemist ignored him and was very cold and even a little disdainful.
So much so that he paid a lot of price before finally getting the elixir he wanted.
At this moment, when he saw the fifth-grade alchemist speaking to Qin Xuan with a flattering and respectful look on his face, he couldn't help but feel nauseous.
This is not a master of alchemy, he is clearly a master of face-changing!
You really are treating people differently based on their status. Ugh!
"Everyone, we are now in the Xuanling Ruins. The most important thing is to bathe in the Xuanling Spring first and improve our cultivation realm!"
"After all, this Xuanling Ruins will not only be opened for the last time, but it will only be open for five days. Don't waste it!"
"After the Xuanling Ruins are closed, if you still have doubts about the Dao of Alchemy, you can come to the Great Qin Martial Academy to find this dean. At that time, this dean will definitely answer your questions and resolve your doubts!"
Listening to the four martial marquises of the Dan League constantly asking questions, Qin Xuan waved his hand and responded.
He entered the Xuanling ruins to bathe in the Xuanling Spring and quickly improve his cultivation level, not to answer questions for these alchemists.
He directly used the "delay" tactic and told these alchemists that he would answer their questions after the Xuanling ruins were closed.
As for when these alchemists come to the Great Qin Martial Arts Academy to find him after the Xuanling Ruins are completed, they will talk about it then.
"Okay, okay! Master Qin Xuan is right. The most important thing now is to bathe in the Xuanling Spring. It's us who are too impatient!"
"That's right! We should listen to Master Qin Xuan. After the Xuanling Ruins are closed, we will pay a visit to listen to Master Qin Xuan's teachings!"
After hearing what Qin Xuan said, the four alchemists of the Alchemy Alliance slapped their foreheads and spoke to Qin Xuan.
They really had too many doubts in their hearts, and in the entire Dafeng Dynasty, Qin Xuan was the only one who could answer their questions.
Therefore, they were very excited when they saw Qin Xuan, and wanted to ask all their questions on the spot and let Qin Xuan answer them.
Seeing that the four alchemists of the Dan League were so obedient, Qin Xuan only said two words, and they immediately stopped asking questions.
Jiang Bingchan and several martial masters from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion were as if they had seen a ghost.
It was the first time they saw the alchemists of the Dan League being so obedient. It really was true that there was always someone stronger than you.
"Let's go!"
"I can finally see for myself what mysterious effects this Xuanling Spring has!"
Seeing that the alchemists of the Dan League were so obedient, Qin Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Jiang Bingchan and said.
"good!"
Jiang Bingchan nodded upon hearing this, and soon everyone walked towards the lake formed by the Xuanling spring water.
Only in this lake where the Xuanling spring water converges can one fully bathe in the spring, absorbing the energy and spiritual power of the spring water to the maximum extent, thereby quickly breaking through the realm.
This is also the reason why every lotus leaf above this lake is filled with human figures.
"The president of the Great Qin Martial Academy, Qin Xuan!"
"The eldest princess of the Dafeng royal family, Jiang Bingchan!"
"I didn't expect you two to come together!"
Just as Qin Xuan and his companions were walking towards the lake below the Xuanling Spring, a series of figures came towards them and stopped right in front of them.
The leader was wearing a red martial robe, was tall, had a powerful aura, and had a calm expression. He looked at Qin Xuan and Jiang Bingchan and spoke.
It seemed as if he had been here, waiting for Qin Xuan and Jiang Bingchan for a long time.
