Qin Shu subconsciously thought that it was her grandfather and second cousin who came to see her.
Xue Chen's next words dispelled her speculation.
"Those people are too crazy. All the suspected female monks were brutally killed. One of them was an elder of our Qingyun Sect."
Anger lingered between Xue Chen's brows. "There was a Nascent Soul cultivator who did all kinds of evil. No man or woman who got his eyes on him could escape. Fortunately, I ran away quickly, otherwise I would have been spotted by the old man."
Qin Shu was confused: "You mean, they not only look for people, but also kill people? And they kill women?"
Xue Chen nodded: "Yes, they are looking for a woman who suddenly appeared in Lingyun Country more than half a year ago. They would rather kill the wrong person than let her go. Many victims have died in their hands."
He looked at Qin Shu with complicated eyes, and intuitively felt that the person those people were looking for was Qin Shu.
Qin Shu's face was extremely solemn and cold, and she guessed in her heart that those people were probably coming for her.
Hua Qingxuan suddenly spoke up: "The people they are looking for are more inclined to be women who can make pills. Dan Pavilion was the first to be targeted. Several new disciples were brutally killed. My father has come into contact with those people and learned that they are from the Eastern Continent."
Qin Shu's heart tightened, and she asked in a deep voice, "How many people are there? Which sect are they from in the Eastern Region?"
She suspected that something had happened to her grandfather.
Hua Qingxuan shook her head: "I'm not sure about that. I only know that their cultivation is very high and they have many magical instruments in their hands."
Qin Shu's eyes flashed with hostility, and she asked, "Where are they now?"
"Are you going to look for them? Don't do that!" Xue Chen exclaimed.
Qin Shu looked at him strangely: "If those people are really looking for me, so many people died because of me, even your Qingyun Sect lost an elder, and you were almost targeted, don't you think it would be better to hand me over?"
Xue Chen shook his head: "How is that possible! If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth! It would be fine if I didn't know you, but we are close friends, I will never hand you over!
The elder that Qingyun Sect lost was a lackey of the former leader, whose surname was Tu. So he is dead, and that’s it.
As for me, I was just disgusted for a bit, and I didn't lose any flesh, so I just need to stay away from those people!"
Qin Shu remained expressionless, but was very pleased in her heart.
No matter how many people died, it was not as important as her and Xie Lanzhi's safety.
Those visitors from the Eastern Continent can do whatever they want. Qin Shu’s most important task now is to wake up Xie Lanzhi.
Qin Shu stretched out her hand to Xue Chen: "Give me the spiritual herbs, I will go and make an elixir for Fellow Daoist Hua."
Xue Chen handed over a space ring and said worriedly: "You are quite famous in Lingyun Country. I am afraid that some people will expose your existence. Axuan and I have come to look for you twice. Your current place is not safe. When you finish refining the elixir, leave here and find a place where no one knows you."
Qin Shu listened to Xue Chen's caring words and the smile on her face became more genuine.
She smiled and nodded: "Okay--"
A few hours later.
A faint golden light enveloped the sky above the small mountain village.
With a loud bang!
The small house where Qin Shu lived was bombed into pieces by the power of the top-grade Yellow Dragon Pill that was about to be produced.
Qin Shu walked out of the dusty ruins gracefully, her beautiful dress not stained with a speck of dust.
She handed two bottles of pills to the stunned Xue Chen: "The white porcelain bottle contains Hui Xin Fu Yuan Dan, and the green porcelain bottle contains the top-grade Huang Long Dan. Maybe I used too much force when refining the high-grade Huang Long Dan, and accidentally refined it into a top-grade one."
"..."Xue Chen.
"..."Hua Qingxuan.
It was the first time they heard that excessive effort in alchemy could lead to the pills being upgraded to top-grade elixirs.
Qin Shu turned around and looked at the ruined cottage, with a look of pity in her eyes.
After all, she has lived here for so long, so she still has some feelings for this place.
"I have to go now. You guys should go back too." Qin Shu left alone, her back elegant and cold.
Xue Chen stuffed the pill into Hua Qingxuan's hand and went after Qin Shu.
"Qin Shu! Fellow Daoist Qin! How about we go together?"
"You are unfamiliar with Lingyun Country. I will lead the way wherever you want to go!"
Xue Chen also had a sudden idea. With Qin Shu's incredible alchemy skills, it would be a loss for him if he didn't hold on tightly.
Qin Shu left without saying a word.
Silence sometimes also means consent.
Xue Chen and Hua Qingxuan left with Qin Shu.
They left the small village during the day, and several groups of people came one after another at night, including people from the Eastern Continent.
Endless sea and dense forest.
Qin Shu sat in front of the fire roasting spirit fish, Xue Chen and Hua Qingxuan sat opposite her.
The three of them were whispering to each other from time to time. The atmosphere seemed cold but not awkward.
Qin Shu was eating the delicious spirit fish and asked out of the blue, "Do you know the dragon clan?"
Xue Chen and Hua Qingxuan exchanged a glance. The former knew that Qin Shu had a contracted beast, a golden dragon, and said cautiously, "I have read some ancient books, which record that the dragon race is born with unique advantages. They inherit some of the power of their ancestors at birth and are born with a certain level of cultivation. The dragon race is naturally compatible with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and can efficiently absorb and use spiritual energy, so their cultivation speed is faster than that of ordinary cultivators."
Qin Shu pursed her red lips, thinking that Xie Lanzhi's body had recovered very quickly after coming to the world of cultivation.
Xie Lanzhi's spiritual power is also stronger than hers, which is not an advantage that can be brought by dual cultivation.
What Qin Shu was concerned about was not Xie Lanzhi's cultivation speed, but another aspect.
She asked tentatively: "Can dragons and humans become Taoist couples?"
Xue Chen's eyes almost popped out: "Are you going to abandon your brother Lan and want to be with the contracted beast?"
Qin Shu glared at him angrily: "What does it have to do with me? I'm just asking!"
Her angry and humiliated look only confirmed her intention to dump her husband and find another good husband.
Xue Chen gave Qin Shu a thumbs up with great admiration: "People who can become partners with the dragon clan are all like this!"
Qin Shu frowned: "What do you mean?"
Xue Chen said: "It is recorded in books that the dragon race attaches great importance to the purity of their bloodline. In order to maintain the strength and purity of their bloodline, they usually choose people of the same race as their partners.
Moreover, the dragon race has two reproductive organs, which ordinary cultivators cannot bear at all. The dragon race is physically strong and powerful, and their physiological characteristics and needs during reproduction are difficult to match with humans. The difference is too great..."
Xue Chen couldn’t continue talking.
Hua Qingxuan, who was sitting next to him, pinched him hard!
Xue Chen grimaced in pain and asked plaintively, "Why are you pinching me?!"
Hua Qingxuan winked at him, and Xue Chen looked up and saw that Qin Shu's face was covered with blush and her ears were red.
Xue Chen said quickly: "In fact, if your cultivation is higher, you can withstand the terror of the dragon race..."
"hiss!"
Xue Chen cried out in pain again!
Qin Shu stabbed his hand with the fish bone she had eaten.
Qin Shu gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I get it, you don't have to explain it in such detail!"
Xue Chen was angry but dared not say anything. He looked at Hua Qingxuan aggrievedly, his face full of requests for comfort.
Hua Qingxuan glanced at him, silently lifted her veil, and ate the spirit fish in small bites.
The atmosphere fell into a deathly stagnation.
Qin Shu asked again: "Does Lingyun Country have a dragon clan?"
Xue Chen rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Lingyun Country has very little spiritual energy, how could there be dragons? Dragons can't survive here at all. It's possible that there are dragons in the East Region Continent, but the probability of dragons existing in the cultivation world is very small."
Qin Shu asked: "Where are the dragons usually located?"
Xue Chen said uncertainly: "In the fairy world, or the god world, after all, the dragon race is a legendary existence."
Qin Shu nodded to show that she understood.
After the three of them satisfied their appetite, Hua Qingxuan took a Huixin Fuyuan Pill. The elixir needed to be refined after taking it.
Qin Shu and Xue Chen stayed with her, and they talked about the injury on Hua Qingxuan's face.
"After Dan Pavilion knew that Axuan used her heart's blood to make pills, they wanted to marry her to Fanyin Palace. Fanyin Palace is a place where yin and yang complement each other, and focuses on the yin-yang grafting technique for men and women, and pays more attention to dual cultivation. Axuan's condition requires taking yang to replenish yin in order to recover. The young master of Fanyin Palace has always had a good impression of Axuan, and took the initiative to go to Dan Pavilion to propose marriage, and also proposed that Axuan be made the principal wife..."
Next, Hua Qingxuan would rather die than obey, and even used a special secret medicine to disfigure herself to show her determination.
The scars on the face left by the secret medicine cannot be easily restored.
Qin Shu was deeply saddened when she heard this and asked Xue Chen, "Hua Qingxuan has been disfigured for her entire life, don't you have any thoughts in your mind?"
She had seen the wives that Xue Chen had married. All of them were as beautiful as flowers, as beautiful as Hua Qingxuan, but their status was not as noble as the eldest daughter of Dan Pavilion.
Xue Chen smiled and shook his head: "I don't mind, and Xuan is very smart and has a backup plan.
Women dress to please themselves. Ah Xuan loves beauty very much. When her cultivation recovers, the wound on her face will also recover. "
Qin Shu looked at Hua Qingxuan who was sitting in the open space, refining the elixir.
"She's very beautiful, very affectionate, and very silly."
For a man, she used her heart's blood to make elixir and disfigured herself to refuse marriage.
Xue Chen retorted unhappily: "Axuan is not stupid, she just likes me."
Qin Shu smiled and said nothing, thinking to herself that she was quite stupid too.
If she had been a little harder-hearted and abandoned Xie Lanzhi to come to the world of cultivation, perhaps under the protection of her grandfather, she would have achieved some success.
But she just couldn't let go of Xie Lanzhi.
I can’t let go of the sweet feeling of being deeply loved and pampered.
Xue Chen looked at the bitter smile on Qin Shu's face and mistook it for disdain. He couldn't help but ask sarcastically, "Your brother Lan, if he needs to use his heart blood to refine pills to wake up, what are you going to do?"
Qin Shu was lost in thought, her beautiful eyes slightly widened, with a startling light in them.
Xue Chen immediately realized that something was wrong and said anxiously, "I said if, but I didn't say that if you use your heart blood, your brother Lan will definitely wake up!"
Qin Shu couldn't listen at all and patted Xue Chen on the shoulder: "Why didn't I think of that! Thank you!"
She turned and left quickly, eager to put it into practice.
"!!!" Xue Chen's expression was filled with horror, and he felt numb.
Who is this stupid?!
