After the hot air balloon was ready, Yun Qingran took the sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal prepared by Green Immortal and returned to her house.
Then, following the ratio of one part sulfur, two parts nitrate, three parts charcoal, and a little white sugar, the Ivan explosives were made.
Yun Qingran was very glad that she liked watching some science videos in her previous life, otherwise, who would know how to make explosives.
After mixing sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal, and white sugar in a certain proportion, put them into a bamboo tube.
After making the explosives, she put them in the bathtub, then lit a candle and put it in the tub as well. The candle was connected to a bamboo tube, and the explosives would detonate as soon as the candle burned out.
Finally, she covered the bathtub with a thin garment to prevent anyone from coming in and discovering it.
"God, please bless me! Please, please!" Yun Qingran looked up, clasped her hands together, and bowed to God.
After everything was arranged, she turned and left the house, quickly running towards the old man's thatched hut.
"High Priest." The servant in charge of guarding Yun Qingran came before Jing Hongying, clasped his hands in greeting, and knelt on one knee.
"What's wrong?" Jing Hongying put down her pen and looked at the servant.
“Princess Rongchang is acting strangely today,” the servant said.
What's strange about it?
"She bought some cowhides from the Third Elder and others. Today she sewed all the cowhides together, and the shape is a round bag, somewhat like a money bag, only much bigger." The servant said, his face filled with undisguised doubt.
Why would Princess Rongchang sew a cowhide bag?
After hearing this, Jing Hongying's face showed a hint of confusion. What was she trying to do?
“Let’s go take a look.” Jinghongying decided that she couldn’t give her too much freedom anymore; she had to find out the secret of the treasure as soon as possible.
Yun Qingran ran to where the Green Immortal lived and then lit the three kerosene lamps in the hot air balloon.
The reason we chose to take off from Green Immortal's place is because it's a remote place and not many people usually come here.
At this moment, Jinghongying and her servant were also walking towards the thatched hut of the Green Immortal. Just as they were about to see the hut, a loud noise suddenly came from afar, as if the ground itself trembled.
"What's going on?" Jing Hongying suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
The servant flew to a nearby tree, stood on high up and looked out, then said, "High Priest, something terrible has happened! A house is on fire and smoking."
Upon hearing this, Jinghongying lightly touched the ground with her toes and used her lightness skill to head towards the direction of the explosion, with her servant following closely behind.
Arriving at Yun Qingran's house, and seeing the ruins billowing black smoke, Jing Hongying asked the person next to her with a grim expression, "What happened?"
"High Priest, we don't know what happened either. It was like this when we arrived," the worshipper replied fearfully.
"Whose residence is this? Do you see any suspicious persons?" Jinghongying continued to ask.
"This is Princess Rongchang's residence. We arrived here immediately after the explosion and did not see any suspicious persons," the believer replied.
"This is Yun Qingran's residence. Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!" Jing Hongying was shocked and immediately used her lightness skill to rush towards Green Immortal's thatched hut at top speed.
Everyone understood that this was probably a ploy by Princess Rongchang to lure everyone from the valley to this place so she could escape.
However, she probably miscalculated. Once inside the Demon Valley, unless she grew wings and flew away, there was no way she could escape.
Jinghongying also knew this, but at this moment he had a strong sense of unease. He felt that Yun Qingran might have thought of a special way to escape from the valley.
As it turned out, his intuition was correct.
When he led his group to the thatched cottage of the Green Immortal, Yun Qingran and the Green Immortal had already left.
"Where did they go?" Jing Hongying asked with a gloomy face and clenched fists.
"I don't know," a follower nearby replied in a low voice.
"The fortune teller said that I will be blessed with immense wealth, and shameless romances will bloom one after another. No matter how much I eat every day, or how much I love food, I will have a figure that others envy." Just then, Yun Qingran's cheerful singing came from above their heads.
Everyone looked up at the sky, and when they saw what was there, they were all dumbfounded.
Yun Qingran has flown away! Yes, she has flown away!
She stood in a hanging basket, above which was a huge bag made of cowhide with a round opening.
The leather bag was bulging and looked incredibly light, as if it could fly.
They didn't see that there were actually three kerosene lamps underneath, covered with lampshades to prevent them from being blown out by the wind.
"Senior Jinghong, thank you for your hospitality these past few days. I'll take my leave now. May we meet again someday!" Yun Qingran shouted loudly down below, her voice clear and cheerful.
Hearing her voice, Jinghongying was so angry she wanted to laugh. The seemingly impenetrable Demon Valley had actually let her escape.
Actually, Jinghongying wasn't that angry. Anyway, he wouldn't really do anything to her. It's just that this girl is as clever as a monkey, and it will be difficult to catch her again in the future.
This time, their attempt to capture her failed in both obtaining the secret of the treasure and instigating conflict between Southern Chu and Northern Yin. They even alerted her, truly losing both their wife and their army.
"What is that thing? It can actually lift people up into the sky," Qian Sanxing asked Pang Xi, who was standing beside him.
"I don't know, it's amazing." Pang Xi shook his head. He had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.
"Ranran is truly amazing, she actually managed to reach the heavens." Gao Muqing looked at Yun Qingran with gentle and gratified eyes.
"Bragging can really reach the heavens; our ancestors were right." Someone murmured.
"Jinghongying, you old bastard, I'm leaving! I'm never working for you under the table again!" Green Immortal, always eager for drama, shouted at Jinghongying below.
After hearing what Green Immortal said, Jinghongying's face turned ashen. This old bastard, if she caught him, she would definitely smash his bones one by one.
"High Priest, what should we do now? Should we continue chasing?" the servant beside Jing Hongying asked respectfully.
"Do you have wings to chase after him?" Jinghongying said, then turned and went back to his small building.
The others watched the hot air balloon until it flew away and disappeared from sight, then left in twos and threes, all talking about it. The thing was too magical to them, and some believers even said that Yun Qingran was a fairy and the hot air balloon was her magic weapon.
In the near future, rumors will spread throughout the martial arts world that Yun Qingran is a fairy who can fly to the heavens and even take people with her. Of course, that's a story for later.
As the hot air balloon soared higher and higher, Yun Qing stood in the basket, looking down at the magnificent landscape with a joyful heart, while Green Immortal huddled in the basket, his legs weak. So high, how terrifying!
