At that moment, Liang Qiu's face was ashen as he grit his teeth.
He felt as though his wrist was shackled by an iron cuff and he could not move at all!
He felt as though his wrist was about to break, let alone free himself from Su Zimo's grasp!
Liang Qiu was in so much pain that he almost fainted.
However, in front of everyone, he did not dare to make a sound for the sake of his dignity and could only hold on.
"I just … wanted to take your storage bag. Hurry and let go!"
Liang Qiu gritted his teeth and explained in a trembling voice.
"Fellow Daoist Su, you had better let go."
Xia Qingying noticed Liang Qiu's expression and could not help but say, "Liang Qiu's actions were too reckless. I'll apologize on your behalf. After all, we're all from Snow Ridge. Please show mercy."
"Alright,"
Su Zimo nodded. "Since you're pleading for mercy, I'll let him go."
Su Zimo released his grip.
As though he had been pardoned, Liang Qiu retreated hurriedly. He staggered and almost fell but was supported by two guards hurriedly.
Liang Qiu's face was pale and his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
His wrist was behind his back and most people could not see it.
Only a few people could see that Liang Qiu's wrist was trembling slightly!
Liang Qiu's attack was extremely vicious.
Although Su Zimo spared his life on account of Xia Qingying, he made him suffer quite a bit!
Liang Qiu's wrist was already broken!
"Fellow Daoist Su, did you hide your cultivation previously?"
Xia Qingying asked.
Liang Qiu could not help but say, "Missy, this person's background is unknown and he hid his cultivation. He must have ulterior motives!"
"In my opinion, we should inform the protector to take action and suppress this person for interrogation!"
Ever since Liang Qiu ascended, he had never suffered as such and naturally hated Su Zimo to the core.
The other guards looked at Su Zimo with hostility and wariness as well.
No matter what, Su Zimo had only ascended for a year and was still considered an outsider in their eyes.
Xia Qingying did not reply and merely looked at Su Zimo, as though she was waiting for Su Zimo to give her an explanation.
"I'm not hiding my cultivation."
Su Zimo said, "It's just that when I was ascending, something unexpected happened. That's why I landed on Long Yuan Planet."
Xia Qingying seemed to have heard something and suddenly asked, "How many heavenly tribulations did you pass before you ascended?"
"Forty-nine Heavenly Tribulations."
Su Zimo said indifferently.
"Ah!"
"It's the 49th Heavenly Tribulation!"
Cries of surprise rang out from all around.
One had to know that those who ascended to the Dragon Abyss Star had all undergone the 19th Heavenly Tribulation.
It was said that those who had passed the Twenty-nine Heavenly Tribulations, Thirty-nine Heavenly Tribulations, and Forty-nine Heavenly Tribulations could only ascend to other regions of the Azure Cloud County, where the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth was many times denser than the Dragon Abyss Star!
"I see."
Xia Qingying nodded.
She then shook her head and said, "What a pity."
"What is it?"
Su Zimo asked.
Xia Qingying explained, "I heard from Father that there are some immortal sects and academies in Cyan Cloud County. Those who have passed the Two Nines, Three Nines, and Four Nines Heavenly Tribulations have the possibility of entering these immortal sects and academies."
"There aren't any on the Dragon Abyss Star?"
Su Zimo asked again.
Xia Qingying shook her head and said, "The Yuan Qi on the Dragon Abyss Star is thin, and resources are scarce. Those who ascended from the Lower Realm and were abandoned by the Exalted Immortals. How could there be any immortal sects and academies here?"
Old Yan had said something similar before.
Liang Qiu secretly swallowed a bullet just now and felt the pain on his wrist lessen a lot. Hearing this, he could not help but sneer. "Even if you enter those immortal sects and academies, you'll only be a servant!"
"So what if it's the 49th Heavenly Tribulation? You can't get rid of your status as a servant!"
Xia Qingying did not say anything, as if silently agreeing with Liang Qiu's words.
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
The environment in the Upper Realm was crueler than he had imagined!
After passing the 49th Heavenly Tribulation, even if you enter an immortal sect or academy, you'll only be a servant?
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's too far away from us."
Xia Qingying smiled and looked at Su Zimo. "Since you're a Stage Four Mystic Immortal, it's not suitable for you to farm here."
"In Snow Wind Ridge, if you can cultivate to Stage Two Mystic Immortal, you'll be qualified to be a deacon. If you can cultivate to Stage Three, you'll be a guard of Snow Wind Ridge. "
"You're a Stage Four Mystic Immortal …"
Xia Qingying was hesitant.
Normally speaking, a Stage Four Mystic Immortal would naturally have the chance to become the guard commander of Snow Wind Ridge since he was of the same level as Liang Qiu.
However, Su Zimo had only ascended for a year after all. If he were to become the guard commander, there would probably be many people who would not be convinced and conflicts would arise.
Thinking of this, Xia Qingying said, "Fellow Daoist Su, you'll be by my side from now on. Temporarily, you'll be my personal guard."
The so-called personal guard was a personal guard!
This status was much higher than that of an ordinary guard!
Liang Qiu was the guard commander in name, but he was actually Xia Qingying's personal guard.
"Young Mistress, you can't!"
Liang Qiu hurriedly said, "Although this person is a Stage Four Mystic Immortal, his identity is unknown and his background is suspicious. You can't trust him easily!"
"It's nothing. Don't suspect people you use, and don't use people you don't suspect. I trust him."
Xia Qingying waved her hand and smiled at Su Zimo. "What do you think, Fellow Daoist Su?"
Actually, Xia Qingying's thoughts were very simple.
If Su Zimo really had other motives, he would continue to hide. Naturally, he would not cause such a big commotion and attract attention.
Duan Tianliang nodded at the side.
Old Yan, who was in the crowd, also signaled for Su Zimo to agree.
Xia Qingying smiled and said, "Although you're my personal guard in name, I won't restrict your freedom. Moreover, the treatment of a personal guard is similar to that of a guard commander. It's much better than an ordinary herb farmer. "
"Alright."
Su Zimo nodded.
Xia Qingying had once given him a spirit herb and a Dust Removal Talisman. Su Zimo still remembered this.
Xia Qingying reminded him again before turning around to leave.
After walking for a short distance, Xia Qingying seemed to have thought of something. She turned around and said loudly, "Oh right, ten days later, I'll bring people to escort this year's mature immortal herbs to Xueyanggu. Fellow Daoist Su, come along and take a look. "
With that, Xia Qingying left with everyone.
Liang Qiu followed behind Xia Qingying and secretly glanced at Su Zimo with a vicious gaze.
"Xueyanggu?"
Su Zimo muttered softly, a little confused.
Duan Tianliang explained at the side, "Xueyanggu is considered one of the eight major forces on this Dragon Abyss Planet. It's also the largest force in the vicinity."
"And the Core Condensation Pills of our Wind Snow Ridge are collected every ten years from a batch of mature immortal herbs and go to Xueyanggu to exchange for them."
"Oh?"
Su Zimo frowned and asked, "Since there are immortal herbs, why don't you refine them yourself?"
"Boss Su, you must be joking."
Duan Tianliang said, "The formula for the Core Condensation Pill is in the hands of the immortals in the Upper Realm. We flew up from the Lower Realm and are not qualified to learn it at all!"
