Behind the curtain was a painting, a portrait of a beautiful woman.
"This old man is still a lecherous old man," Yun Qingran clicked her tongue.
Men, there's no one who isn't lustful!
Just then, the wind blew in again, lifting the curtain once more. This time, Yun Qingran felt that something was off about the painting of the beauty.
This beauty has purple eyes!
Yun Qingran walked to the curtain, reached out and lifted it, carefully looking at the beauty in the picture.
This beauty appeared to be in her early twenties, dressed in a pale gold feathered robe, her chin slightly raised, exuding unparalleled nobility.
She was stunningly beautiful, especially her pale purple eyes, which were alluring and enchanting, captivating all who beheld them.
"Could this beauty be Bayahashi?" Yun Qingran looked at the beauty and had a vague guess in her heart.
Having lived in this world for so long, apart from Jun Molin and Bayaheshi, she had never heard of anyone else with pale purple eyes. Moreover, this noble and aloof temperament was very similar to the legendary Bayaheshi.
But isn't Bayaheshi Jun Molin's mother and the woman of the Northern Yin Emperor? How could she be involved with a leader of a Jianghu cult?
This painting is spotless; it's clearly been cleaned daily. A portrait of a beautiful woman, cleaned every day—even someone with corns on their feet could guess that Jinghongying (the artist) must have been fond of Bayahashi.
Yun Qingran couldn't understand the connection between the two, so she could only return to her seat and sit obediently. What if Jing Hongying found out that she had seen the painting and killed her in a fit of rage?
Sure enough, a short while later, Jinghongying returned.
"Senior Jinghong." Yun Qingran saw him, stood up, and stepped forward to give him a junior's greeting.
"What, have you remembered the secret of the treasure?" Jing Hongying asked, looking at her.
This little girl, in such a situation, was still able to remain calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, calling me "senior" and showing me the respect due to a junior; she has courage.
"I don't know the secret of the treasure, so how could I possibly remember it?" Yun Qingran chuckled.
You can earn money again in your next life if you lose it, but once you lose money, it's really gone. The treasure is absolutely not to be revealed, not even if you're beaten to death!
"Then what do you want with me, priest?" Jing Hongying had already anticipated that she wouldn't easily reveal her secret, but he had plenty of time to wait.
"Senior Jinghong, I have a favor to ask of you." Yun Qingran smiled obsequiously at Jinghong Ying.
Anyway, a smile won't cost you anything.
"Speak." Jing Hongying couldn't help but smile at her obsequious manner.
She really knows how to bend and stretch!
"Could you lend me two people with good light-footed skills? I want to go down into the Abyss of Darkness." Yun Qingran grinned, revealing a set of flawless white teeth.
"What!" Even Jinghongying, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, was almost startled and stumbled.
First, as a prisoner, she actually asked to borrow people; second, she actually wanted to go down to the Abyss of Darkness.
“The Abyss of Darkness is unfathomably deep, and there is no way out of the valley,” Jinghongying said after calming her mind.
"Senior Jinghong, you misunderstand. I went down into the Dark Abyss not to escape, but to find a medicinal herb," Yun Qingran said.
“There’s no sunlight in the Abyss of Darkness all year round, so there’s no way there are any medicinal herbs,” Jinghongying said.
"The medicinal herb I'm looking for is called the Abyssal Bat. It lives in the bottomless, perpetually dark crevices of the earth," Yun Qingran said.
“The Abyss of Darkness is dangerous; you cannot go down there,” Jinghongying refused.
"I must go down," Yun Qingran said stubbornly.
"Is that Abyss Bat really that important?" Jing Hongying asked with a stern face.
“Yes, it’s very important.” Yun Qingran paused, then continued, “I was once in danger and someone saved me, but I found out he had a terminal illness. I promised to refine a top-grade elixir to cure him, and the Abyss Bat is one of the ingredients for refining this elixir.”
People in the martial arts world value loyalty and righteousness. If I am so loyal, Jinghongying should be a little touched.
"You said you sought out the Abyss Bats to refine elixirs to cure your friend's illness?" Jing Hongying asked, her gaze fixed on Yun Qingran's eyes.
Xingyun said that Yun Qingran agreed to refine a top-grade elixir to cure Yuan'er's illness. Could it be that the Earth Abyss Bat she is looking for is the medicinal material for refining Yuan'er's terminal illness?
“Yes.” Yun Qingran nodded.
“This priest will personally accompany you down to search,” Jinghongying said.
"Ah!" Yun Qingran looked at Jing Hongying in disbelief.
He actually wants to come down with me to find the Abyss Bats! He must have a death wish!
“Princess Rongchang, your loyalty to your friends is truly touching, so I have decided to accompany you down here.” Jing Hongying looked moved.
I don't believe you for a second, you old geezer, you're a really bad guy!
"What, you don't want this priest to go down with you to search?" Jing Hongying asked, looking at Yun Qingran's expression.
"Of course I'd like to, how could I not?" Yun Qingran chuckled.
Free experts are always welcome; why not take advantage of them?
"Then get ready, and start preparing first thing tomorrow morning," Jinghongying decided.
"OK." Yun Qingran nodded. "Then I'll go back and prepare."
"Go." Jinghongying waved her hand.
After Yun Qingran left, a puzzled look appeared on his face. What did that "Ouke" mean? Semantically, it should have a positive meaning. But he had never heard of "Ouke" having a positive connotation.
This little girl is so strange.
Back in her room, Yun Qingran washed up, got into bed, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating her inner strength.
She had never cultivated internal energy, but the Green Immortal told her that cultivating internal energy was very simple; it was simply about controlling the internal energy to circulate continuously within the body.
She began to control her internal energy, circulating it throughout her body. After circulating it for less than three cycles, she got so bored that she fell asleep without realizing it.
Internal force: ...
The next morning, after Yun Qingran got up, a servant immediately brought in hot water and a set of light armor for her.
"Princess Rongchang, the High Priest will have you wash up and change into light armor. Then, I will take you to the edge of the Dark Abyss to meet the High Priest and the others."
"Okay." Yun Qingran nodded, then began to wash up. After washing up, she put her slightly curly hair up into a neat bun, then put on her light armor and went to the Abyss of Darkness with her servant.
"High Priest, why are we suddenly going down into the Abyss of Darkness? Is there some unexpected event down there?" Qian Sanxing asked respectfully and with a hint of doubt.
"No, we're going down to find a medicinal herb," Jinghongying said.
"Will medicinal herbs grow down here?" Qian Sanxing peeked down the cliff. It was pitch black, and it was impossible for medicinal herbs to grow there.
“It’s not a plant, it’s an animal called the Abyssal Bat,” said the Green Immortal standing nearby.
After saying that, he marveled inwardly. His master was truly amazing. As a prisoner, she had actually managed to persuade the high priest to accompany her down into the Dark Abyss to find medicinal herbs.
