Xuanyuan Qi, under the golden dragon mask, watched Ling Xiang dragging his severely injured and poisoned body to treat others, and said unhappily, "The secret realm is dangerous. A mere Spirit King shouldn't come here to die."
Xuanyuan Qi didn't mention anyone by name, but it was obvious that he was talking about Ling Xiang.
Ling Xiang answered seriously: "Everyone has his own path to take. Fuxian Secret Realm is the path I must take."
Thinking about Ling Xiang's refusal to come with him to the Fuxian Secret Realm, and finally choosing to go with Yuan Zhengqing and a complete stranger, Xuanyuan Qi felt very uncomfortable:
“Since this is a road we must take, we should choose the right people to walk with us.”
Ling Xiang crushed the pill and carefully treated Lian Cailiang's injuries. He turned to look at Xuanyuan Qi and said with a smile, "So I made a quick decision and chose fellow Taoist as my companion."
Xuanyuan Qi was a little annoyed by Ling Xiang's deliberate misinterpretation of his words, but not much. After all, Ling Xiang had said that he was the right person in the same profession.
He waved his hand and brought Ling Xiang to him, circulated his spiritual power, and transferred spiritual power to her to help her recover.
"Senior?" Ling Xiang was surprised.
"Concentrate your mind and follow my spiritual power."
Ling Xiang didn't know why. Even though it was their first time meeting, and she didn't know his identity, she inexplicably felt that his spiritual power was very familiar, and she couldn't help but accept his spiritual power...
With Xuanyuan Qi's help and the effect of the spiritual spring water, Ling Xiang's spiritual power quickly recovered to a large extent.
Xuanyuan Qi felt that it was about time and withdrew his spiritual power.
"Thank you, Senior." Ling Xiang thanked him sincerely, took out the best spiritual nourishing pill in his hand, and presented it respectfully, "Please forgive me for expending my spiritual energy. This is the spiritual nourishing pill refined by my master. I hope you don't mind it."
Xuanyuan Qi confiscated the pill and looked at Ling Xiang's hand: "If you really want to thank me, give me the ring on your finger."
Ling Xiang raised her hand and saw the ring on it. She remembered that it was a gift from Xuanyuan Qi's mother and couldn't take it off. She politely refused:
"This item was given by an elder, and it's not easy to give it away. Senior, please ask for something else. I will respectfully offer it to you if I have it."
Seeing how Ling Xiang treasured the token given by his mother to his future daughter-in-law, Xuanyuan Qi's expression changed from gloomy to bright under his mask. "Then remember it for now. When the time is right, I will ask you for a thank you gift."
The Lord of Luosha Palace could accept the joining of the Golden Dragon Masked Man. After all, the other party was very powerful and he couldn't drive him away. However, when facing Yuan Zhengqing, who was picked up along the way and almost caused their entire army to be wiped out because of saving him, he was not so polite:
"Master Yuan is not serving as an official in the capital, why is he here?"
Yuan Zhengqing didn't know why, but the emperor suddenly gave him a secret order, asking him to come to the Fuxian Secret Realm to search for Lingxiao's immortal soul.
Originally, he had received the news and headed towards the dense forest in the west. However, while avoiding the attack of the spirit beast, he accidentally broke into the territory of the Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion and was forced to flee all the way to the southeast.
He was also surprised to meet someone in the southeast, and it was Ling Xiang.
But he didn't need to tell a person he met on the way: "I am deeply grateful for your help, fellow Daoist. From now on, I will not take any of the natural treasures I encounter on the road. When I leave, I will definitely prepare a generous gift and come to your house to express my gratitude."
"That's not necessary. I don't like dealing with officials. After Mr. Yuan has rested, let's go our separate ways."
Faced with the Rakshasa Palace Master's rude expulsion, Yuan Zhengqing glanced at Ling Xiang from the corner of his eye, using all his life's thick skin today:
"Everyone was seriously injured in this battle, and their fighting power has been greatly reduced. The future is uncertain. I think the best strategy is to unite. Moreover, I don't want any rare treasures, so no matter what you give, you will not lose out."
The Fuxian Secret Realm is full of dangers. Xuanyuan Qi would naturally not let his friend take risks. He glanced at the Lord of Luosha Palace:
"If you feel that there are too many people and it affects your chance to seize the treasure, you can leave on your own."
Hearing this, Ling Xiang was once again certain that the man with the golden dragon mask was a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and he would protect all the unrelated people he rescued along the way.
I just don't know why he only targets the Lord of Rakshasa Palace?
The Lord of Rakshasa Palace was confronted and had no way to refute the man with the golden dragon mask. After all, he had been saved by the man, so he had to find a way out.
He looked at Yuan Zhengqing and said, "Since Lord Yuan is willing to help you for free, please remember your promise and don't regret it in the end."
At daybreak, the group packed up and headed southeast.
At this time, Yuan Zhengqing looked in the direction that the Luosha Palace Master was leading and questioned: "Aren't you here to look for Lingxiao Immortal Soul?"
"That's right, what's wrong?" Ling Xiang asked in confusion.
Yuan Zhengqing asked, "Isn't Lingxiao Immortal Soul in the west? Why are we heading southeast?"
Ling Xiang: "So Lord Yuan is also here to look for Ling Xiao's immortal soul?"
Yuan Zhengqing nodded.
Ling Xiang explained: "The news in the west was fake. It was only after I met the Lord of Luosha Palace that I learned that Lingxiao Immortal Soul was actually in the southwest."
Yuan Zhengqing looked at the Rakshasa Palace Master: "Is the information reliable?"
"If Lord Yuan doesn't believe it, you can turn around and leave at any time." The Lord of Rakshasa Palace said expressionlessly.
The Rakshasa Palace Master's words killed the conversation. In order to ease the atmosphere, Ling Xiang teased:
"There's only one Lingxiao Immortal Soul. Lord Yuan has already voluntarily given up the treasures of heaven and earth. You're no longer in a position to obtain Lingxiao Immortal Soul. Whether the information is reliable or not doesn't seem to be that important to you, right?"
Yuan Zhengqing walked down the stairs and said, "That makes sense. This time, I'll just treat it as a training session."
With Xuanyuan Qi joining them, the group headed southeast. They didn't encounter any spirit beasts anymore, and their injuries gradually improved. They were approaching the deep pool where Lingxiao's immortal soul was.
Suddenly, the man with the golden dragon mask changed his expression, told them to stay where they were and be on guard, and quickly flew towards the deep pool.
"Miss Ling, you stay here to support us. I will go and explore the way." Ling Xiao's immortal soul was not far away. The Lord of Luosha Palace naturally would not give others the opportunity to get there first, so he led everyone in Luosha Palace to rush to the deep pool.
Ling Xiang and Yuan Zhengqing exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously: "Set up a defensive formation and wait and see what happens. If the Rakshasa Palace Master and the others are in danger, we will rush to support them."
Chi Ren and the people from Canglong Palace kept their aura hidden and waited by the deep pool, waiting for Xuanyuan Qi to come back.
However, before they could wait for Xuanyuan Qi to return, they waited for Lingxiao's immortal soul to be born.
The colorful Lingxiao Immortal Soul slowly broke out from the rocks beside the deep pool, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire deep pool.
The mythical beast Sibu Xiang, which had been guarding Ling Xiao's immortal soul, used its magical powers to cover the sky with water, blocking out the light of Ling Xiao's immortal soul.
Chi Ren immediately deployed his forces to seize Ling Xiao's immortal soul and engaged in a fierce battle with Si Bu Xiang.
Xuanyuan Qi arrived, drew his sword, and joined the battle to snatch Lingxiao's immortal soul.
