Chapter 18 [018] Escaped

Shi Qing saved a teleportation talisman and put it into the small bag on his waist.

"Hello, Senior Brother Muzhou! Hello, Senior Sister Yunying! Hello, Senior Brother Chucheng!" After Cangying arrived, she pulled Shi Qing over and saluted the three people here.

Although they both have some fame among the younger generation of disciples, they still have to follow the rules and perform greetings when meeting senior brothers and sisters with higher cultivation and more experience on Mount Sanqing.

Shi Qing: "Hello, Senior Brother, Hello, Senior Sister, Hello, Senior Brother."

"No need to be so polite." Shen Yunying smiled, her posture gentle and dignified. She looked to be about fifty years old, with a kind look, but her actual age was over two hundred years old.

She has the highest cultivation among the five people, and is in the late stage of the Spirit Severing Stage. This time she came to the Magic and Martial Arts Secret Realm, in addition to looking for some opportunities for herself to help her reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage, she also has a mission to protect the two younger generations, Cangying and Shiqing.

Governor Liu Muzhou looked resolute and upright, like a 60-year-old uncle, at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, and it was difficult to see a smile on his face. The disciples who had contact with him basically said that he was principled, had no room for maneuver, and was difficult to get along with.

But Shi Qing got along very well with him.

"Yeah." The man nodded, his voice was rather rough. He looked up at Shi Qing and said, "Failed to break through?"

He knew that Shi Qing had been in seclusion in the Wind and Thunder Pagoda for a month to achieve a breakthrough. Unfortunately, the clouds and mist above the Wind and Thunder Pagoda only gathered for a short while before disappearing without a trace, and there was not even a single sound of thunder.

Mentioning this, Shi Qing said: "Yes, it's a pity."

"There's nothing to regret. There aren't many things in this world that go smoothly." Although his voice was rough, his words seemed to comfort Shi Qing. "We have been exploring this magic and martial arts secret realm for more than a thousand years, and we have only explored one tenth of it. You will find what you need here."

Shi Qing looked at Liu Muzhou, a little light flashed in his calm eyes, as if he was really encouraged, and nodded: "Yeah!"

"Thank you, senior brother."

"I will definitely try my best!"

"Shiqing, Cangying." Shen Yunying's voice suddenly came from the front.

The two stopped gossiping and immediately followed her: "Senior Sister."

Shen Yunying smiled and said, "Did you bring all the sound transmission stones?"

"We all brought them." Cangying looked at the woman and smiled politely.

"That's good," Shen Yunying said, "You all came to the Magic and Martial Secret Realm to find your own opportunities. Now that everyone has finished greeting each other, let's temporarily separate here."

Before entering the secret realm, the five of them were separated and had no time to greet each other. They only met after arriving in the secret realm.

She warned: "If anything happens, you must use the sound transmission stone to tell your brothers and sisters in time, understand?"

Cangying nodded: "I understand! Thank you, Senior Sister Yunying! Senior Brother Muzhou! Senior Brother Chucheng!"

Opportunities are something that are found by luck and ability. If you keep going together, firstly, it will be inefficient and a waste of time. Secondly, if both of you happen to come across something they both need, it will easily cause some minor conflicts.

The senior sister was very thoughtful. After saying hello, they dispersed.

But Cangying is still with Shiqing.

One is a pill doctor and the other is a sword practitioner.

There is not much intertwining of interests.

Besides, Cangying needs Shiqing's protection, and Shiqing also needs Cangying's alchemy and medical skills.

They complement each other.

After parting with the senior brothers and sisters, the two walked aimlessly while chatting: "Shi Qing, tell me the truth, do you like burly guys?"

When greeting him just now, Cangying discovered that before this, Shi Qing had been praised tens of millions of times, but his eyes never lit up. But when he saw Senior Brother Liu Muzhou and received a comfort, his reaction was different.

"A burly one?" Shi Qing was puzzled.

Cangying: “…”

She asked in a different way: "Do you like Senior Brother Muzhou?"

I understand after asking this question.

His eyes lit up and he nodded, "I like it."

Cangying: "!!!"

No wonder!! That’s why I don’t like gentle and kind-hearted beautiful boys like Zhongli Jin! The type of guy Shi Qing admires – turns out to be a macho man?!

Shi Qing: “…”

Seeing Cangying's expression of truth, she became even more confused, tilted her head slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Cangying blushed, "I'm the opposite of you. I like gentle and pretty girls. I don't care if they are strong or not."

Shi Qing thought for a moment, "Zhongli Jin?"

"I like him very much." Cangying coughed lightly, "But he has been engaged before, so it's not possible."

Shi Qing didn't believe it at all: "It's a lie."

"Jia Ziying."

Cangying: “…”

After all these years, Shi Qing finally found a way to mock me, right?

Before she could think of a rebuttal, Shi Qing beside her suddenly stopped!
Cangying was stunned and turned to look at her, only to see Shi Qing lowering his eyes and staring at his bandaged right arm with a slightly solemn expression.

"Your bandage..." Cangying also restrained her love-minded and gossipy mind, and looked serious. She frowned and said, "Why is the end of the bandage on your right arm shorter than the other three limbs?"

The bandage strips on Shi Qing's four limbs were originally the same length, but there were fewer on his right arm.

"Cut it off." Shi Qing said.

"cut?"

As soon as Cangying finished asking, she saw the broken part of the bandage suddenly fill itself up and gradually return to its usual length.

Obviously, everything has returned to normal, but Shi Qing's expression has become even more solemn, as if something bad has happened.

"Junior sister." She suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong, little junior sister?"

Shi Qing's voice was slightly deep, and he said word by word: "——ran away."

*
"Hahaha, you didn't expect that, did you?! I finally managed to escape!" Shen Xiang broke free from the bandages and rushed to Yuhua Peak without stopping.

At this moment, all the elders of Yuhua Peak were protecting the Dharma, and her headmaster was not here.

Shen Xiang's expression flashed a bit of pride. No matter how the vicious female supporting role tried to obstruct her, she couldn't stop her from being with the male protagonist Zhong Li Jin!
【system! 】

【exist! 】

[Give me the Zangxi Pill I exchanged! ]

【okay! 】

As soon as the words fell, a small black pill appeared in Shen Xiang's hand.

She swallowed it in one gulp and immediately felt her body become light.

The Cangxi Pill can make a person invisible, hide their breath, and reduce gravity so that no one can detect them.

If I had to describe the feeling, it would probably be like walking and jumping on the moon without any equipment.

Just now, Shen Xiang used the points he earned this month to exchange for some props, an escape talisman and a hidden breath pill.

She had wanted to escape last night, but the system stopped her.

[Don't do it yet! The bandages of the vicious female supporting role are connected to her mind. She will definitely notice if you run away! Wait until tomorrow when she enters the secret realm and then break free. Even if she finds out then, she won't be able to do anything to you!] So Chen Xiang has been patient until now.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one on Yuhua Peak was paying attention, after taking the Cangxi Pill, Shen Xiang immediately ran towards the water mirror, and a huge suction force suddenly sucked her in!

A blinding white light flashed before her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she had arrived in a snowy area!
【??? System?! What’s going on?!】

The voice in my head explained: [Host! The secret realm transmission is random. You will appear in a certain place here. I can't control it.]

Shen Xiang: “…”

[A-choo! It’s so cold! Shit! How do I find Zhongli Jin? ! ]

[You can exchange for another teleportation talisman. After breaking it, read out the protagonist's sect and name, and you will be sent to him.]

"..."

Fine.

Shen Xiang had no choice but to spend some more points to get a teleportation talisman. After tearing it into pieces, she read: "Xuan Xiao Sect, Zhongli Jin."

*
There is no spring or autumn, the sun is scorching, and the rocky ground is as hot as an iron plate that has been burned by fire.

The four corners of the Magic and Martial Arts Secret Realm are divided into four seasons.

In some places, spring is here, the temperature is just right, the birds are singing, the flowers are fragrant, and it is peaceful and stable.

Some places have extreme climates, with either ice and snow all over the place with no life at all, or scorching hot and extremely dry.

The disciples who were teleported to areas with extreme climates were either shivering with cold or so hot that they wished they could shed another layer of skin.

"What kind of luck is this! Damn it!" someone cursed, "We ended up in such a crappy place right off the bat!"

"Okay, the more difficult the place, the fewer people come here, and the more secret treasures there will be. After all, it was an ancient battlefield millions of years ago, and raging fire burned the earth. Perhaps it is here that the original battlefield is still preserved because of the heavenly fire."

The male disciples who came here took off their clothes and put them into their Qiankun bags.

The female disciple had to use her spiritual power to cool down the area around her.

So Shen Xiang, who had just been teleported here, had no time to look for Zhongli Jin before he was frightened by a group of naked men and felt as if he was nailed to the spot by a sledgehammer, his face turned pale!

【……system.】

[What’s wrong with the host? 】

[…I have a stye.]

【…】

"You are... Junior Sister?"

Finally, a warm and bright moon-like voice rescued Shen Xiang from this terrible naked blue scene.

Shen Xiang turned her head and saw the man she had been thinking about, Zhong Lijin, right beside her.

The young man was dressed in white, still very tightly, and there was no sign of him fainting from the heat.

The fiery red headband was draped over his shoulders along with his jet-black ponytail. He looked handsome and gentle, just like the only source of ice in this Flaming Mountain. Just one look at him made one feel relaxed and cool.

"Junior Brother Zhongli!" Shen Xiang rushed over with a bear hug.

However, he didn't even touch the edge of the boy's clothes, but fell to the ground because he accidentally stepped on a stone!
"Bang!" In an instant, pain and intense burning sensation spread throughout her body.

"Ah, it's hot, it hurts! It hurts!" She got up in a hurry, her eyes full of tears. Her well-behaved little face was almost wrinkled together, and she was in great pain.

Seeing this, Zhongli Jin immediately took out a pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into the girl's palm, "Little Sister, please take it quickly."

Shen Xiang ate it quickly, and the burning sensation and pain immediately dissipated a lot, and he gradually felt cooler.

“Huh…” Shen Xiang let out a long sigh.

saved.

After everything was fine, Zhongli Jin frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you here, Junior Sister? I remember that you don't seem to be on the list for Mount Sanqing."

Shen Xiang: “!”

She rolled her eyes and said quickly, "I am unwilling to give up! I also want to come to the Magic Martial Secret Realm. If I hadn't been training at the foot of the mountain a few months ago and didn't get back in time, the quota for the Foundation Establishment disciple would never have been given to Shi Qing!"

"So... you sneaked in?" The boy raised his eyebrows.

Shen Xiang: “…”

Chen Xiang: "Ahem! Don't tell anyone!"

[What should we do? Young man, you have to take this little girl with you?] The old man said with some worry, [It's a place full of dangers and dangers, it might be difficult to take her with you.]

Zhongli Jin also had a slight headache. He never expected that Shi Xiang would actually come and use a teleportation talisman to find him.

After entering the secret realm, he deliberately said goodbye to the other four Xuanxiao Sect brothers and sisters, and used the teleportation array to send himself to the secret realm of Lieyan Mountain.

During the great war between immortals and demons tens of millions of years ago, this was the place where the war was most intense.

Therefore, there are the most remaining secret treasures.

At the same time, Senior Huanxiang was an alchemist who participated in this war tens of millions of years ago. He left behind many precious medicinal materials stored here.

This time the young man entered the secret realm, hoping to obtain those things, to refine pills to continue to nourish his spiritual roots and increase the speed of his cultivation. Otherwise, according to the current progress, he would have to be a hundred years old to form a pill.

Shi Xiang is the biological daughter of the leader Shi Yue. No matter what, Zhong Li Jin would never leave the girl here alone.

[I have no choice but to take it with me.] The young man sighed inwardly, but still kept a polite smile to the girl.

"In that case, please follow me closely, little senior sister." Zhongli Jin said.

"Okay!" Shen Xiang achieved his goal and followed the young man.

She knew that Zhongli Jin was going to look for medicinal herbs in the place where the old man with the ring had left his secret treasure, but she didn't expect that the place where the old man left the treasure would be so hot and dry.

Shen Xiang wanted to speed up the progress of the strategy, and his eyes fell on the sleeves of the young man in white in front of him.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, he deliberately took two steps forward and tried to hold the boy's sleeve.

Unexpectedly, before he even got close to her, he heard a sneer in his ear, "What a coincidence, Brother Zhongli."

The voice had some ill intentions, and Shen Xiang looked over and saw five disciples wearing light blue robes.

Under such a hot sky, they were surrounded by a circle of white light, as if isolating them from the heat.

The man in the lead had a more decent appearance, narrow eyes, and was not ugly, but the slight maliciousness in his face made Shen Xiang feel a little bit monkey-faced.

Zhongli Jin stopped, looked at them sideways, and replied with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Wang, nice to meet you."

[Young man, they might have used the teleportation talisman to find you on purpose.] The old man said in a slightly cold voice.

Zhongli Jin naturally knew this too.

Wang Yao would never let go of such a good opportunity to mock himself.

"Hey? The little girl next to you is pretty cute." His eyes fell on Shen Xiang beside the boy, Wang Yao rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes and said: "The way she is dressed, she should be a disciple of Sanqing Mountain."

Zhongli Jin blocked Shen Xiang behind him and chuckled, “Yes, this one is the daughter of the head of Sanqing Sect.”

"Daughter?" Wang Yao didn't seem to believe the boy's words. He sneered suspiciously, "How come I never knew that the head of Sanqing had a daughter?"

"Of course. I only knew this after I joined Mount Sanqing." Zhongli Jin looked directly at Wang Yao, his lips still smiling, but the warmth in his pupils had already cooled down.

　It’s here! It’s a two-in-one version! It’s still in the testing phase these days, so I’m still asking for a collection, comment, and recommendation vote!
