Chapter 70 [070] Where to go
Chen Xiang looked at her blankly. After Shi Qing said that, she suddenly felt that the other person seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.

But how is this possible.

Perhaps, it just happened that the look in his eyes just now gave Shi Qing some kind of illusion?

"..."

After a few seconds, she smiled bitterly, nodded, and responded to Shi Qing: "Well, I always have a senior sister."

There was blood on her collar, and Shen Xiang used her spiritual power to perform a body cleansing technique for her, sweeping away the bright red.

Cangying said: "Now that everyone is here, let's leave this place as soon as possible. I'm worried that the Three Paths Flood Dragon will follow us."

"And," Shi Qing looked at Zhong Lijin and reminded him, "Zhou Wu."

Zhongli Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and the seriousness in his pupils intensified. He said in a deep voice: "You mean, Zhou Wu is here too?"

"Well, the purpose, I don't know." Shi Qing said.

Chen Xiang stared at her body from top to bottom, "Did he do anything to you?!"

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt." Shi Qing raised his head and said calmly, "I'm strong."

After all, she is a strong person, how could she be hurt by that guy so easily?
Shen Xiang: “…”

Just as the immortal ship was about to start, Zhong Lijin suddenly heard a bunch of voices in his ears, all of which were chanting his name: "Xuan Xiao Sect, Zhong Lijin."

It is the name called when the teleportation talisman is activated.

The next second, a group of disciples in blue robes suddenly appeared around the immortal ship, both men and women. The leader was a white-haired man with wrinkles on his face, looking a little old. His pair of black eyes stared straight at Zhong Lijin on the boat. Without saying hello, he asked anxiously, "Where's my daughter?!"

As soon as he was teleported to Huangquan Valley, he saw a dragon that had been cultivating for about 500 years dead there. He was worried that Zhongli Jin and others had met with an accident, and that his daughter's soul was also missing.

Fortunately, the teleportation talisman can still be used, which means the boy is fine.

Zhong Lijin recognized the man and immediately raised his hand to salute, "Uncle Luo."

“Zhongli Jin!” The man’s eyes were red and he looked very tired. It seemed that he had been missing his daughter very much for the past two years. “Where is my daughter?!”

The young man handed over the porcelain bottle in his hand and sighed softly, "Her soul was swallowed by the burial fish. In the past two years, only these remnants of her soul have been left. I separated them from the fish body and temporarily stored them here.

Sect Leader Luo took the small porcelain bottle with trembling hands.

As long as there is still a remnant of soul, she can be sent into reincarnation. However, after reincarnation, she will be born with congenital defects due to the incomplete soul. It will not be until the soul is reconstructed after several reincarnations that she can slowly recover into a normal person.

But for Master Luo, he doesn't care whether his daughter is normal or not. As long as his daughter still has a chance to survive, it is the greatest comfort.

"Thank you, nephew Zhongli, for this time." The man said in a hoarse voice, "Also, I'm sorry for taking my anger out on you before."

He knew that whether she liked Zhongli Jin or went to Huangquan Valley to look for figs was her daughter's own choice, but after Luo Zhenyue's soul jade slip shattered, he still couldn't control his anger towards Zhongli Jin.

"It's okay. I understand Uncle Luo's pain of losing his daughter. I also know that this cause and effect ultimately involves me, and it's my responsibility to unravel it." The young man spoke calmly, with a gentle look, and he was calm and peaceful as if he had seen through many worldly affairs.

Sect Leader Luo looked at him and couldn't help but sigh, "Nephew Zhongli, you are extraordinary and handsome. After what happened two years ago, you were hit so hard, but you were still able to stand up again. You are so broad-minded and take responsibility. It really makes your uncle feel ashamed."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to the young man, saying earnestly: "This is the Qianling Pill, which can help you improve your swordsmanship. It is my apology and gratitude to you."

"..."

"...Thank you, uncle." Zhongli Jin was stunned for a moment, but finally accepted the wooden box. He didn't actually want anything in return from the man, and the Thousand Spirit Pills didn't have much use for him now. But he knew that refusing the man's things now would be tantamount to rejecting his apology and thanks together.

"Nephew, are you leaving Huangquan Valley now?" asked Master Luo.

Zhong Lijin said: "No, we still have some things to collect, it will probably take another two or three days. By the way, Uncle Luo——"

The young man asked seriously, "When you came here, did you see a giant dragon and a young man at the place where you stayed before?"

Sect Master Luo said, "You have never seen it, but when we saw it, it had been torn into two pieces by someone, and its heart seemed to have been dug out by something with bare hands. It looked like it had died miserably."

Hearing this, several people's eyes changed - dead? !

The Three Paths Flood Dragon that had cultivated for 500 years was killed in such a cruel way? !

There were only Jiaolong and Zhouwu there, so it could only be the young man who killed them.

I didn't expect Zhou Wu to be so powerful that he could even tear the Three Paths Dragon into two pieces!

If he continued to wander around in Huangquan Valley, there was no guarantee that there would be some unknown dangers ahead.

"Thank you for telling me, uncle," Zhong Lijin said, "Now that we have found Miss Luo's remaining soul, uncle should send her back to reincarnation as soon as possible."

"Okay." Sect Leader Luo nodded, staring at the porcelain bottle in his hand with red eyes, "In the next two days, you should pay more attention to your own safety. If there is any danger, run away quickly. If you can kill that dragon, I'm afraid all of you combined are no match for it!"

"We understand." Zhongli Jin nodded.

A group of people from the Xiaoyun Sect left here, probably to return to where they were just teleported from, using the sect's large teleportation array to go back.

After they left, Cangying looked at Disciple Xu and Zhongli Jin, and said seriously: "The red spider lilies have been collected. Now there are only scarlet grass, soul-breaking leaves and sulfur blood left. The scarlet grass grows on the cliffs of Huangquan. We can collect it when the fairy ship returns. The soul-breaking leaves are in the upper reaches of Sanzu River. If we rush over now, we should be able to collect them before dark and return safely. The last one is sulfur blood-"

She looked at Chen Xiang, who was wearing a red dress, and asked, "Junior Sister, can I ask you for this?"

Sulfur blood comes from a creature called the sulfur lizard in the Yellow Springs Valley. Its blood needs to be collected and stored in a porcelain bottle. However, the sulfur lizards move quickly and are difficult to catch. It requires a nimble person to catch them in the cracks of the rocks at the bottom of the valley. Also, be careful not to be bitten by them, otherwise the toxin will immediately enter the body and can make a person faint and die in a short time.

Chen Xiang nodded, "Okay, but if we all leave, won't Senior Sister Shi Qing be left here alone?"

"No problem," Shi Qing said, "The mission is the most important." Otherwise, this trip would be in vain.

"Junior sister, don't force yourself if you can't find it. Be sure to come back here before dark." Cangying instructed Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang said: "Don't worry, Senior Sister Cang, I will ensure that the task is completed."

Cangying nodded with relief: "You are indeed much more mature than before."

Shen Xiang smiled but said nothing.

After all, growth is achieved at an extremely painful price.

*
The four of them set off separately. Disciple Cangying Xu and Zhongli Jin went to the upper reaches of the Sanzu River, while Chen Xiang went alone to look for sulfur lizards in the crevices of the rocks in the mountains.

Shi Qing sat on the deck of the immortal ship, holding up a spiritual power shield.

The surroundings were very quiet, the sound of flowing water was not loud, and a faint cold breeze kept blowing through the narrow gaps.

About an hour later, it was noon. At this moment, the sun was shining directly on the earth from the sky, and more sunlight could shine into the Yellow Spring Valley, so those damp and poisonous creatures hid everywhere.

Shi Qing adjusted his breathing for an hour, and his breathing became much steadier and smoother, and his spiritual power also recovered a little. The bandages on his limbs swayed slightly in the air, as if he was relaxed, but inexplicably alert.

Shi Qing slowly opened his eyes and his complexion returned to normal.

She stood up, picked up the sword beside her, and looked around.

The situation was too urgent before, and she had no time to look around. Now, after a quick look, she felt that this place was as gloomy as Asura Hell.

The strange rocks stand in a row, their postures resembling struggling human bodies. The Sanzu River does not pass through this narrow gap, and the vegetation is extremely sparse.

Shi Qing walked deeper into the crack. The distance between the two sides became narrower and narrower, until it was narrow enough to accommodate only the body of an adult man.

But she also reached the end. At the deepest part, there was nothing but a huge pebble with a smooth surface and a faint light floating in the sky.

Shi Qing wanted to get closer to take a closer look, but suddenly he felt that there seemed to be some shadow floating on the surface of the stone.

She stopped and stared at the figure warily.

The picture became clearer and clearer, and what finally appeared in front of him was a green silhouette.

Judging from his body shape, he looks like a middle-aged man in his twenties.

Her hair was long like a waterfall and she wore a green headband on her head.

Shi Qing didn't know who he was and frowned slightly. The man suddenly moved, as if he had sensed someone behind him, and slowly turned around.

"..."

Shi Qing was a little surprised.

Not because they knew each other.

But the man's appearance was equally handsome, and his facial features and face shape were 60% similar to Disciple Xu's.

His eyes were extremely gentle, like the warm sun in winter, and some of his temperament was very similar to Zhongli Jin.

It seems to be a combination of disciple Xu's face and Zhongli Jin's personality.

Shi Qing felt a little strange and asked, "Who are you?"

But the figure did not give her an answer.

There was a gentle glimmer in his eyes, but it was as if he couldn't see or hear her at all.

The shadow soon disappeared again and the pebbles returned to their smooth surface.

Shi Qing felt a little pain between her eyebrows. She stretched out her hand and saw a red spider crawling between her eyebrows and biting her.

"..."

Is it toxic?
She threw the spider away, took a pill of Baijie, and turned back to the fairy ship.

It was not until the evening that Cangying and others came back.

They had a fruitful harvest today, and the junior sister also successfully brought back sulfur blood.

It looks like it won’t take two days at all, and we can leave early tomorrow morning.

After they came back, Shi Qing told them what he saw and what happened at noon.

Cangying was full of questions - "Wait! He looks like Junior Brother Xu, but has the personality and temperament of Junior Brother Zhongli?! No, who is this??"

Shi Qing shook his head: "I don't know."

A shadow that appears out of nowhere.

Chen Xiang was shocked. Could it be that the pebble could reflect what people were thinking? ! And Shi Qing had a crush on both disciple Xu and Zhongli Jin, so he took a picture to combine the two of them? !
But why is it disciple Xu's face? ! ! Does Shi Qing prefer Xu Zhongtian's delicate and handsome type to Zhongli Jin? ! !
"No! Doesn't the shadow have some of my characteristics?!" Shen Xiang thought of this and collapsed, with a face full of jealousy, eager to find an answer.

Shi Qing shook his head honestly: "No."

Zhongli Jin: “…”

Disciple Xu: “…”

Cangying saw the little red dot between Shiqing's eyebrows and reached out to touch it: "This is what was left after being bitten by the red spider."

"Hmm," Shi Qing blinked, "I thought it was poisonous."

As a result, an afternoon passed and nothing happened.

Perhaps its poison is within the scope of the common 100 poisons, so it was neutralized by the Baijie Pills?

Zhong Lijin suddenly asked, "What did the red spider that bit you look like?"

Shi Qing thought for a moment and said, "Eight legs, big eyes, red and black, and a pointed beak like a needle."

[Tsk tsk, there are a lot of spiders in Huangquan Valley, but the only one with a needle-like mouth is a species called the Red Memory Spider.] The old man heard her description and thought about it.

[Recalling the Red Spider?] Zhongli Jin asked: [Why is it called this?]

The old man stroked his beard and explained: [This red spider is non-toxic, but it feeds on the blood from the center of a person's eyebrows. When feeding, in order to avoid being discovered, it emits a unique projection that attracts people's attention and paralyzes the pain nerves. It will not stop projecting until it is full, and the content of the projection is often the person or thing that people care about the most.]

Zhongli Jin: […The person or thing you care about the most…did it really exist? ]

[Of course, memories cannot be imagined out of thin air.] The old man said.

But this is very strange.

Zhongli Jin stared at the girl beside the boat.

——After all, looking at Shi Qing’s expression, if that was someone she cared about very much, how could she have no impression of him at all, as if she was looking at a stranger?

Shen Xiang was deeply hurt by Shi Qing's word "no". She suppressed the violent impulse to kill the man and went back to her room to cry sadly.

Although I know that there is no possibility between her and my senior sister, but being so straightforward really makes people feel like being pricked by a needle.

In addition to the spiritual power shield, Zhongli Jin also added a golden light shield on the fairy ship to provide double protection, so that the evil spirits and poisonous creatures at night could not get close at all.

The boy returned to his room, but did not intend to rest.

[Youngsters, are you going to look for figs? ]

Zhongli Jin nodded and smiled: [I found out the location of the fig tree this afternoon. We will leave Huangquan Valley early tomorrow morning, so I can only pick the figs tonight.]

He did not tell Senior Sister Cangying and the others about tonight's actions. Firstly, everyone had been busy all day and needed a good rest. Secondly, he would feel bad if he implicated the four others because of his own affairs.

So he picked the figs quietly while everyone was sleeping at night, and returned with everyone the next day.

Zhongli Jin took the Cangxi Pill and his aura was instantly hidden.

This way you can avoid Shi Qing.

The young man disappeared into the night. He thought this operation would go smoothly, but unexpectedly, just when Zhongli Jin had left the fairy ship for only a hundred meters, a snow-white bandage suddenly caught up with him and wrapped around the young man's ankle!
He was startled and caught off guard. He staggered and fell forward!

The boy was about to put out his hands to support his body to avoid getting his clothes dirty, but another bandage seemed to be faster and directly wrapped around his waist. When his chest was only half a foot away from the wet ground, he was suddenly pulled back!

Zhongli Jin steadied himself, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a cold and indifferent voice came to his ears - "Where are you going?"

Zhongli Jin: “…”

Zhongli Jin: He was caught after all.

——Good night! !
