Chapter 59 [059] Yellow Spring Valley
When he woke up, it was five days later.

The room was very quiet, the day was breaking, and the candles were burning out.

Cangying was lying on the table next to her, with a dark look in her eyes, and it was obvious that he had been taking care of her without sleep for several days.

Shi Qing lifted the quilt carefully.

But even so, Cangying was still awakened.

She sat up suddenly and looked towards the bed. When she found Shi Qing sitting on the bed, she was immediately delighted: "Awake?!"

"Yeah." Shi Qing nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Cangying yawned, "It's okay, as long as you wake up."

Before this, Shi Qing's health was very weak and he had been in a coma. Now that he has woken up, it means he has recovered and there is no need to worry.

His tense spirit finally relaxed at this moment. Cangying's steps became unsteady, his body softened, and he accidentally fell forward.

Shi Qing immediately stood up and supported her, pulled her to sit on the bed, and said, "Rest."

"I'm fine," Cangying waved her hand, "Since you're awake, I'll go get you some pills."

But Shi Qing held her wrist tightly, not letting her go, staring at her with a pair of brown eyes, "Rest first."

Cangying: “…”

Unable to persuade Shi Qing, she said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll take a rest. Then you can go directly to the first floor lobby to find Junior Brother Zhongli to get the pills. He hasn't slept much these days and is staying up with me. He will tell you the dosage and usage."

"Okay." Shi Qing nodded.

After Cangying finished speaking, she fell down.

She was indeed too sleepy and had not really closed her eyes for five days. Every time she closed her eyes for a short rest, she would open her eyes to check Shi Qing's body before sending him to the medicine pool.

Cangying fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow, her face slightly pale and her spirit listless. Shi Qing covered her with a quilt, got up and walked to a clothes rack next to the room, casually put on the white short undershirt hanging on it, and then left the room.

After soaking in the medicinal bath for five consecutive days, her body was marinated with the herbs.

But it doesn't smell bad. On the contrary, the aroma of medicine surrounds people, making them feel very comfortable.

It was very quiet around Baicao Pavilion. The east was already bright and the red glow of the sunrise could be seen in the distance.

Most of the disciples have not arrived at the pavilion yet. Only some early risers are busy preparing medicinal materials for alchemy.

The door on the first floor of the hall opened wide, and Shi Qing walked in. When the two disciples who were pounding medicine next to her saw her, they blushed and stammered, "Shi, Senior Sister Shi Qing?! Are you awake?!"

"Yeah." Shi Qing responded, walked to the place where Cangying had been refining pills, and sat down, waiting quietly as usual.

Zhongli Jin was probably in a room further inside. There was steam coming out of the furnace beside him. He must have just finished refining the elixir and hadn't taken it out yet, so it remained inside the furnace to maintain its medicinal properties.

After waiting for about an hour, the door of the room was pushed open and the young man in white walked out, holding a book of alchemy in his hand, seemingly studying something quietly.

Suddenly there was an extra person next to the empty seat.

Zhongli Jin was stunned, "Shi Qing?"

The girl woke up.

But the next second, the boy stopped.

Shi Qing had her hair loosely tied up, and was wearing a snow-white short shirt, the hem of which only covered the base of her thighs. Even though she was wrapped in bandages that concealed most of her skin, this tight-fitting style still made others think she was wearing nothing at all, which easily aroused people's fantasies and made them feel distracted.

Shi Qing saw Zhong Lijin was in a daze and thought that the boy was surprised that she woke up, so he reminded her, "Come and get the medicine, Cangying said."

It was Cangying who asked her to come and get the medicine.

"..."

Zhongli Jin did not respond immediately.

Shi Qing was a little confused, thinking that he didn't hear clearly, and was about to repeat it, but before he opened his mouth, he saw the handsome and delicate face and picturesque young man suddenly change his expression.

Then he put down the alchemy recipe in his hand, walked hurriedly to her, took off his long white coat, put it on her, and wrapped her up.

Shi Qing: “…”

Zhongli Jin's outer shirt was snow-white and clean, without a speck of dust on it. It also had a faint scent of snow lotus mixed with the fragrance of medicine, which was fresh and elegant, and very pleasant to the touch.

He washes all his clothes by himself, without any trace of other people's smell.

Shi Qing blinked and said, "It's not cold."

"Yes." Zhongli Jin's voice was hoarse, giving people a weird feeling.

"No need." Shi Qing was about to refuse.

Zhongli Jin said: "How shameful!!"

Shi Qing: “…”

Zhong Lijin took a deep breath, realized that he had lost his composure, tried to restore his previous calm and gentle appearance, and said: "...Forget it, please wait a moment, Senior Sister."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to the inner room. After a few seconds, he took out a robe and handed it to Shi Qing: "Wear this. Even if you are a cultivator, it is not good for your health to wear such thin clothes so early in the morning."

Shi Qing said: "No problem."

Zhongli Jin said: "It will affect your cultivation."

Shi Qing: “…”

She returned Zhongli Jin's clothes to the boy and put on the new robe.

——The impact on your cultivation will be disastrous.

——Still follow the doctor’s advice.

The clothes that Shi Qing had worn already left a trace of girlishness.

Zhongli Jin did not put it on immediately, but put it aside temporarily.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable after waking up?" the young man asked in a proper manner, just like Cangying.

Shi Qing shook his head and said honestly: "No."

Zhongli Jin took out the refined pills from the furnace. The effects were the best a few days after they were made. He said, "These are all medicines for replenishing Qi, blood and spiritual power. Take one pill three times a day, morning, noon and night. After three days, you should be fully recovered."

"Thank you." Shi Qing said.

"It's best not to practice sword and meditation in the next three days. Wait until your body fully recovers before doing it, otherwise it will also affect your cultivation." Zhongli Jin reminded.

Shi Qing: “…Oh.”

The conversation was businesslike. After receiving the pills, Shi Qing took them immediately. To his surprise, these pills all had a slightly sweet taste.

She raised her eyes to look at Zhongli Jin, her brown eyes staring directly into the boy's ink-black eyes, like two rays of light shooting straight into his mind, causing the boy's heart, which had finally calmed down, to inexplicably palpitate again.

"...What's wrong?" Zhongli Jin couldn't help but speak, his Adam's apple rolling slightly.

Under Shi Qing's gaze, although he warned himself not to panic, his slightly trembling hands under his long sleeves still revealed a hint of emotion.

Shi Qing said, "Sweet."

"With honey added." Zhongli Jin responded.

——Shi Qing likes sweet taste.

After Senior Brother Xu mentioned this point before, he never forgot it, so when he was refining the pill this time, he also added some of it. It did not affect the efficacy of the medicine, but only slightly changed the taste.

"It's delicious." Shi Qing said. She was not afraid of bitterness, but she would be very happy if it had a little sweetness.

She stood up, and the bandages on her limbs swayed like a puppy's tail, representing the owner's relatively happy mood at the moment. "No need to thank me." The boy said, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Qing, "Take this, I promised to refine it for you before-"

Shi Qing said first: "Baijie Pills."

Zhongli Jin didn't expect that she also remembered it.

It seems that I didn't give it to her several times before. She didn't say it openly, but she must feel disappointed in her heart.

"Thank you." Shi Qing thanked him, his voice still calm, with no extra expression on his face. Only the bandages on his limbs were waving towards the boy, as if he was delighted.

*
The immortal boat landed next to the large alchemy furnace in the center of the Three Pure Ones’ blessed land.

Shi Qing couldn't practice swordplay or meditate, which meant she couldn't use her spiritual power either, so she could only travel by fairy ship for the next three days.

The Sanqing blessed land was deserted, and the usually seen figure of Shi Yue was not here.

Master should still be in retreat.

The last time the spell was half-opened, her life was not harmed. The life-saving talisman that Shi Yue left for her did not work, and the man naturally could not feel it.

When he was eleven years old, he also half-activated the spell. His young body could not fully adapt to the power of the spell and he almost died. That’s why the head master was able to sense it through the life-saving talisman and rushed over in time.

Shi Qing felt that this was a sign that he was getting stronger. From being unable to adapt to now being able to adapt a little, he had made great progress. It was a pity that it still took a while.

After three days of rest, she still has to go to Huangquan Valley.

——The figs that only bear fruit once every fifty years are very important to her spiritual roots.

As soon as the fairy ship landed and made a noise, the door of a house not far away was pushed open by someone.

"Senior Sister!! You're awake!!"

The little junior sister rushed out like a small cannon and rushed directly into Shi Qing's arms!
However, the girl who used to like wearing pink dresses wore red clothes today.

Shi Qing's core was very stable. Even after being hit hard by his junior sister, he was still able to stand still.

She looked at her junior sister and found that the girl now was a little different from before.

The little junior sister didn't act arrogant or proud. Instead, she acted like a real junior sister and said to her coquettishly, "It's been a long time since we last met, Senior Sister! It's been two years! Two whole years! You must spend more time with me these few days!"

She leaned in Shi Qing's arms, holding her waist tightly with both hands, and her whole body stuck to Shi Qing like water.

Shi Qing: "...Your memory has been restored?"

She blinked and asked calmly.

Chen Xiang hadn't heard Shi Qing's voice for a long time. Except for the period of amnesia, this moment seemed to be the first time she heard Shi Qing speak to her again after two years.

"Yeah." She buried her head in Shi Qing's neck. Her excited words were already tinged with tears. With a longing as strong as wine, she said, "I remember that I just came back a while ago. Because of my amnesia, I started to be naughty again. I think I caused trouble for Senior Sister."

Shi Qing put his hand on her head and said calmly, "It's okay."

——After all, I’ve gotten used to it.

On the contrary, it is the junior sister who is now sensible and mature that makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

But no matter what, Junior Sister is still Junior Sister.

Shi Qing really wanted to ask about the current status of the so-called system, but she was worried that if she opened her mouth, the system would monitor her, just like she could hear the conversation between her junior sister and the system.

Thinking of this, she suddenly heard the woman's electronic voice in her ears -

[How ridiculous! If she knew how you feel about her now, do you think she would still treat you as her favorite junior sister? ]

Chen Xiang's arms around Shi Qing suddenly tightened, and Shi Qing felt that the girl seemed to be slightly affected by the voice.

[Then don’t let her know.] Chen Xiang responded coldly to the system with a mocking smile: [Stupid, it’s such a simple thing.]

She had fought her way out of a group of perverts, so she naturally understood how terrible this kind of paranoid and morbid love was. How could she bear to expose her crazy side to Shi Qing, in front of her most beloved senior sister?

Chen Xiang never thought about telling Shi Qing all this.

She even dared to reveal her thoughts and emotions only in the letters she exchanged with others, secretly relying on the fact that the world did not understand her.

"Have a good rest these days! I will accompany my senior sister in the Sanqing blessed land!" Chen Xiang took Shi Qing's arm and walked into the room together.

Unable to practice swordplay or meditation, Shi Qing could only close his eyes and rest at night.

So Shen Xiangzhen slept with her for three nights.

*
Three days passed, and it had been eight days since the incident at Tushiling.

During these eight days, the news that Fei Yi almost broke out of the seal had spread throughout the world of cultivation. Zhongli Jin told Elders Huanxu and Jingxu everything that happened on the mountain that night.

The two elders were horrified when they heard this.

After all, the demon Mei Zimu intends to make a comeback with his demon soldiers.

For the entire world of cultivation, the impact is no less than the great war between immortals and demons ten thousand years ago.

Mei Zimu also created some clones to travel the world for him and create all kinds of chaos.

The monster that was almost released in the Magic and Martial Arts Secret Realm, and the Fatty Yi this time, were all caused by his clone.

Fortunately, the boy and Shi Qing discovered it twice in succession and joined forces to suppress the beast.

Zhou Wu’s goal was not achieved again, and no one knows what he will do next time.

Elder Huanxu taught the formation talisman. This time, seeing that Zhongli Jin could even cast such a high-level formation as the Red Blood Sealing Array, he restored its formation plate and imprinted it to suppress Fei Yi. He immediately wanted to snatch the young man from Baicao Pavilion to Yuhua Peak.

Zhongli Jin smiled and declined, but decided to stay at Jinping Peak.

Huanxu was unwilling to give up and wanted to talk to Cangyan about it, but his junior sister slept all day and could not be disturbed unless it was an important matter, so he had to give up for the time being.

——Demons and the like are big things.

Elder Jingxu looked serious. After Zhongli Jin left, she looked at Huanxu beside her with heavy eyes: "So, as the most powerful sect in the past ten thousand years, Sanqing Mountain also shoulders the greatest responsibility."

"Next time, when the disciples of the sects in the cultivation world compete, we will not only invite all participating elders and their disciples to Sanqing Mountain, but we must also invite the heads of all the sects to come here to discuss the fight against the demons."

*
Shi Qing packed up her things. Three days later, her body recovered and she could use her spiritual power again.

As for the figs in Huangquan Valley, I just hope that they will remain there during these days and not be picked by others.

When Shen Xiang saw Shi Qing was about to leave, he immediately followed her and asked, "Where are you going, Senior Sister?"

Shi Qing: “…”

She didn't know whether her junior sister would still clamor to follow her like before after she told her the destination.

Perhaps seeing what Shi Qing was thinking, Shen Xiang suddenly reached out and hugged her intimately, saying coquettishly: "Senior sister!~ I won't cause you any trouble now, I also have the ability to protect myself, not only am I not afraid of heights, I can also fly a sword, swordsmanship and so on. After two years of experience in the mortal world, I have already practiced to perfection, you don't have to worry."

Shi Qing: “…”

Shi Qing: “No.”

The junior sister has learned the policy of appeasement, but even if she has changed from crying, making a fuss and threatening to commit suicide to twisting her body, flattering herself and acting like a spoiled child, she still has to refuse what should be refused.

The journey to Huangquan Valley is not only long, but also prone to danger. The little junior sister has indeed grown a lot now, but the sight of her covered in blood in the cave that night still made Shi Qing dare not take her on the road.

Seeing that the girl was so unmoved, Shen Xiang let go and said disappointedly: "Okay, then I will wait for Senior Sister in Sanqing Blessed Land."

Shi Qing: “…”

It is abnormal to backslide so easily.

——It surprised her.

Here we come!! Good night everyone! ~~~
