Qi Cheng suddenly stopped. "This is also a problem. Otherwise, we can go back the way we came. We might run into Junior Sister and the others along the way."
"I still think that Junior Sister shouldn't show up immediately when investigating the Zhu family's affairs."
“Actually, we can follow Daoist Fuyue and act first, and then have Junior Sister come after things are settled.”
“I think it’s feasible,” Fang Yun nodded.
Pu Menglan shook her head, "Qinghe's personality won't allow you to take risks."
"Aunt Lan understands me best." The girl's gentle, melodious voice came from the void.
The three of them suddenly looked up and followed the sound, only to see a group of people coming from the other side of the road.
It was a group led by Wei Qinghe, the Daoist Master of the Moon.
The spirit boat was too conspicuous, so they deliberately left the spirit sect ahead of time.
"Junior Sister! Daoist Fuyue, Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother."
Qi Cheng was pleasantly surprised to see the group, but the thought of the Zhu family patriarch made him frown again.
The two groups did not exchange pleasantries upon meeting.
"Qinghe, has your blood curse been broken?"
Pu Menglan saw that Wei Qinghe had almost arrived at the city gate, but the Zhu family patriarch had not yet appeared, so she asked curiously.
Although Longquan Town is not small, how can it compare to a journey of a thousand miles?
But how can a blood curse be broken so easily?
Normally, spellcasters who practice curse techniques can break these spells if they are highly skilled, but they are not easily broken.
"The blood curse has been lifted?" Qi Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it had been lifted, that would be the best outcome.
Wei Qinghe touched her smooth forehead. "No, it was Daoist Fuyue who sealed the mark, but it can only be used three times within a hundred steps."
Qi Cheng was truly surprised by the fact that Daoist Fuyue possessed such abilities.
After a brief period of interaction with Daoist Fuyue, Qi Cheng had gone from opposing and rejecting him to being able to accept him with some difficulty.
"Only three times is far too risky, junior sister. You should come home with me first."
As he spoke, Qi Cheng hurriedly led the way to his home. His Qi family was a small alchemist family in Longquan Town.
The decline of these past years is probably not even worth noting for the Zhu family.
The Qi family was also far from the Zhu family, which made it safer for Wei Qinghe to stay a hundred paces away from the Zhu family patriarch.
"Let's go to Fifth Senior Brother's house first." Wei Qinghe did not refuse. Qi Cheng had been away from home for many years and had only returned a handful of times.
Even though he had already arrived in Longquan Town, he was still waiting for her there, instead of going home to check on her first.
The group followed Qi Cheng into the city.
Longquan Town is also very lively, with a wide variety of goods on the streets.
The most common items were talismans and medicinal herbs.
It is evident that the majority of people in Longquan Town are spellcasters, alchemists, or medical practitioners.
Qiao Luoning stayed close to Wei Qinghe, occasionally glancing at Fang Yun and Qi Cheng with a lewd smile.
She lowered her voice and whispered in Wei Qinghe's ear:
"Junior Sister, do I really not need to give a gift? I am the senior sister, after all."
Wei Qinghe looked at Qiao Luoning with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Although she had lowered her voice, Fang Yun could hear her at such a close distance unless she was deaf.
"Senior Sister, if you really want to give a gift, then go ahead and give it to me. You can buy it now."
Qiao Luoning awkwardly covered his Qiankun bag. "Buy now, just the amount of spirit stones in the Qiankun bag right now."
This seems a bit difficult. Couldn't I use other items from my own storage bag?
"Junior Sister, how about we look around here and see if there's anything worth buying? Or how about you choose whatever you want from my Qiankun Bag?"
Fang Yun was even more embarrassed when she heard Qiao Luoning's words.
Actually, she really wanted to tell Qiao Luoning that it was enough that he had such good intentions.
She doesn't need any gifts.
Wei Qinghe and Qiao Luoning stopped in front of a general store.
The owner of the grocery store was a disheveled old man who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, or perhaps dozing off.
He only opened one eye, glanced at Wei Qinghe and Fang Yun, and then closed his eyes again.
"Choose your items first, then we can discuss the price. If we're lucky, we'll give them away for free."
"Free? What a coincidence!"
Lei Wenxuan approached. Although he was a poor sword cultivator, he was skilled in formations. When he was really desperate for money, he would use some random formations to exchange for spirit stones.
However, he was more interested in the word "fate".
Wei Qinghe pulled **Fenfen out of the space.
**Pink immediately put her skills to use and unleashed a merciless barrage of shots on the stall.
That lewd laughter almost pierced Wei Qinghe's eardrums.
"Oh my, is this old man a born benevolent child? A benevolent old man? No, no, no, he must be the God of Wealth descended to earth!"
"Master, many things in this general store have unusual origins... um..."
Before **Fenfen could finish speaking, Qiao Luoning picked up a rusty alchemy furnace with a mixture of helplessness and disdain.
