Qin Shu took the Flame Grass from Xue Chen's hand without hesitation: "We can't stay here for long, let's retreat!"
Xue Chen nodded and summoned the three guards who were fighting with others.
The five people left quietly.
As soon as they left, several men and women holding compasses chased them to the Spiritual Medicine Valley.
A man said angrily: "They got away again!"
The people around him gritted their teeth and said, "Let's keep chasing. We must avenge Uncle Hong!"
They followed the guidance of the compass and chased in the direction Qin Shu and her companions left.
Qin Shu, Xue Chen and others ran to a dense forest.
Qin Shu took out all the flame grass she had picked and found that she had harvested quite a lot, with twenty-two spiritual herbs in total.
Xue Chen's eyes widened: "Fellow Daoist Qin, you are so amazing. You actually managed to grab twelve stalks of Flame Grass!"
Qin Shu said calmly: "It was just luck."
She put away the Flame Grass, thinking that whether Xie Lanzhi could wake up early depended on the spiritual herbs she had collected in the past few months.
Qin Shu decided to go into the Xumi mustard seed to study alchemy, and said to Xue Chen: "I have something to do and I'll be away for a while. You guys can go and do your work. We'll meet here later."
"I understand." Xue Chen was already accustomed to Qin Shu's occasional disappearance.
Qin Shu turned and walked into the depths of the dense forest and entered the Sumeru mustard seed.
As Qin Shu's cultivation level increased, the Sumeru mustard seed had changed greatly. It now had not only flowers, plants and trees, but also a small stream and a simple wooden house.
Qin Shu pushed open the door and saw Xie Lanzhi lying on the bed.
"Brother Lan, I decided to start refining the elixir today. Grandpa said that as long as we awaken your body functions, we can practice together."
Qin Shu held Xie Lanzhi's hand, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and her voice gradually became weaker.
With her soft, calloused fingertips, she gently stroked Xie Lanzhi's deep brows.
"You need to wake up soon. I feel so lonely without you by my side."
The man lying on the bed did not move or respond.
Qin Shu gently kissed Xie Lanzhi's thin lips.
"Brother Lan, I really miss you so much."
Perhaps because she missed Xie Lanzhi too much, Qin Shu did not rush to make the elixir and lay beside Xie Lanzhi.
She took Xie Lanzhi's hand and placed it across her waist, pretending to be hugged by a man.
Qin Shu sniffed the familiar scent that rushed into her nose, took a few deep breaths, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She really missed Xie Lanzhi so much. She missed the Xie Lanzhi who was gentle to her during the day and strong and domineering in bed at night.
Qin Shu gently stroked Xie Lanzhi's chest, buried her face in his shoulder, and sniffed hard.
Even though Xie Lanzhi was as cold as a corpse at this moment, Qin Shu still burrowed into the man's arms, expecting Xie Lanzhi to suddenly wake up and hold her in his arms.
“Brother Lan…Brother Lan…”
After a while, Qin Shu's sobbing sound was heard.
"I, I really...really miss you..."
Qin Shu couldn't see that there was a human-shaped golden light covering her behind.
Jin Guang hugged Qin Shu tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
Qin Shu cried and cried until she accidentally fell asleep, with her hands still tightly around Xie Lanzhi's cold body.
The room fell into a deathly stillness.
The golden light covering Qin Shu's back also disappeared.
The next moment, a golden dragon flashed out from the compass, and its slightly ferocious golden eyes became gentle and doting the moment it saw Qin Shu.
It raised its head slightly, slowly approached Qin Shu, and greedily sniffed the fragrance emanating from Qin Shu.
The golden dragon shrunk its body, which occupied the entire room, climbed onto the bed and wrapped Qin Shu with its dragon tail. It rested its head on top of Qin Shu's head, and a lazy satisfaction flashed in its eyes.
Qin Shu knew nothing about this, but her frown relaxed a lot.
Qin Shu opened her eyes again, and Xie Lanzhi's handsome face came into view.
She kissed the man's face and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Brother Lan, I dreamed of you. I dreamed that you were always with me, holding me and coaxing me to sleep."
The satisfaction in the dream made Qin Shu feel full of strength.
She stood up and went to the outer room and began to sort out the spiritual herbs she had harvested in the secret realm during this period.
Qin Shu threw the flaming grass and other spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace, and used the fire magic taught by her ancestors to make the elixir.
In the past few months, she had refined a lot of miscellaneous elixirs, and even refined Peiyuan Pills and Juling Pills at a higher level, so it was quite easy for her to refine the Yuling Pills that could awaken Xie Lanzhi's body functions.
Yuling Pills can allow a dead person's body to retain the breath of a living person. Although it cannot truly bring the dead back to life, it can make a person feel as if he is alive and awaken all the functions of the body, just like a living dead.
Half an hour later, Qin Shu harvested six jade spirit pills shining with white light.
Qin Shu held the pill in both hands, her breathing trembling with excitement.
She couldn't wait to give Xie Lanzhi a magic pill and sat by the bed, waiting quietly.
An hour passed.
Xie Lanzhi's body was still cold, without any change.
Two hours passed, and Xie Lanzhi's body still had no response.
Qin Shu gave Xie Lanzhi two more elixirs and stared at the man without blinking.
She waited for a long time, but Xie Lanzhi's body was still cold.
At this time, Qin Shu thought that the refining of the Jade Spirit Pill had failed, so she fed the remaining three pills to Xie Lanzhi.
Qin Shu waited for Xie Lan for a whole day and a whole night, but did not get the desired result.
She got up and left, continuing to refine the Jade Spirit Pills. This time she refined two more batches and harvested a total of fifteen elixirs.
Qin Shu fed five of the elixirs to Xie Lanzhi and left Sumeru Mustard Seed directly.

Dense forest.
Xue Chen and his three guards fled in a panic.
The five men and women chasing behind him were filled with indignation: "Boy! Stop!"
Xue Chenyang shouted loudly: "If I really stop, will I still be alive? I've heard that you guys have the wrong person. I don't know the Master Hong you're talking about!"
The person behind him said angrily: "The fate disk led us to you. Even if it wasn't you who killed Master Hong, it must be someone you know!"
Xue Chen rolled his eyes as he fled in a panic, thinking, I really do know him, that man is my savior, how could I tell you!
As soon as Qin Shu appeared, she saw Xue Chen being chased by several people.
Her appearance actually saved Xue Chen.
A man looked at the glittering life disk and shouted, "The one who killed Master Hong has appeared!"
The other four people stopped one after another. They no longer paid attention to Xue Chen and started to study the horoscope.
Soon, they followed the guidance of the horoscope and saw Qin Shu, who had a weak temperament and only had the foundation-building level of cultivation.
"This person is too weak. Did she really kill Master Hong?"
"Could this be a mistake? Uncle Hong is at the Golden Core Stage!"
Under the suspicious gazes of the five people, Qin Shu did not hide or evade, but looked at them with cold eyes without warmth.
Because the Yuling Pills didn't work, Qin Shu was now so angry that she had no place to vent.
The man holding the compass said with certainty, "The horoscope shows that she was the one who killed Master Uncle. Kill her to avenge Master Uncle Hong!"
