After Yi Qing left the Blackheaven Sect, he headed northwest. Perhaps it was because he was holding back his anger, but he flew quickly and hurriedly. He only turned back after he left the Black Sea.
"Master, it'll take us another four hours to get to the nearest market," he suggested. He looked in front of him and suggested, "It's getting late. Why don't we rest here for a while and continue on our way after Master has lunch?"
"Alright!" Shen Ying rubbed her tummy. I was waiting for you to say that.
Yi Qing immediately turned his spirit sword around and flew down to an empty space. He conjured a wind-elemental spell to clear the area.
"Master, wait a moment. It'll be ready soon." As he started a fire, he took out the spirit beast meat from his storage bag. "This is still within the Blackheaven Sect's territory. It's hard for spirit beasts to appear here. However, there's a transportation array at the market in the east. Once we pass through it, we'll be able to return to the thatched cottage in three days."
"Huh? Thatched cottage? What cottage? "Shen Ying paused.
"The cottage that Master used to live in." Yi Qing paused. "Master, aren't you going back?"
"Er …" Shen Ying suddenly thought of the baskets full of radishes. Her mouth twitched. She patted his shoulder and said, "That chef, actually …"
She was just about to dismiss his idea of going home to eat radishes when suddenly, a suppressive force swept toward the two of them. A spirit wind blew, causing leaves to fall from the sky. Five figures in green and white descended from the sky and landed in front of the two of them.
"The two of you left so quickly. It took us a while to find you!" One of them stepped forward and smiled.
"People from the Xuan Yuan Family!" Yi Qing's expression darkened. He stood up abruptly. These were the five Traveling Immortals on the lotus seat. He was about to summon his spirit sword when Shen Ying pushed him back down.
Shen Ying pressed him back down. "Go roast your meat."
"… Yes, Master." Yi Qing had no choice but to squat down again. He could not help but glare at the five of them. Although he had guessed that they would come to snatch the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit, he did not think that they would come so quickly. Could they not wait any longer? He did not think that the aristocratic families of the Upper World would have such ugly manners.
"Fellow Daoists, sorry to disturb you." The middle-aged Traveling Immortal stepped forward and smiled politely at Shen Ying, but the greed in his eyes seemed to be overflowing. "Please forgive us for following you without permission. We really had no other choice. We have a presumptuous request that we hope Fellow Daoist can fulfill. "
Without waiting for Shen Ying to ask, he took the initiative to explain, "My Xuan Yuan Family has always produced many alchemy cultivators. In the entire Three Azure Realms, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a stronger alchemy cultivator than my family. The family head is even a tenth-stage alchemy master. The Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit that you obtained is a sacred pill refinement treasure. It is only useful for pill refinement cultivators and is completely useless to other cultivators. I don't think you're an alchemist, so why don't you give it to my Xuanyuan family and make the best use of it? "
Shen Ying bent down and picked up a certain leg pendant that had been wrapped around her foot ever since she left Blackheaven Sect. "You mean this one?"
"Ji …" The radish pendant immediately waved its leaves.
Everyone's eyes lit up. The middle-aged Traveling Immortal took a few steps forward and said excitedly, "That's right."
"You want it?" Shen Ying tilted her head.
The Traveling Immortal's expression changed. His smile deepened as he said, "Fellow Daoist, this Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit is quite intelligent. If you take good care of it, it might be able to take human form in no time. Forgive me for being blunt, but other than my Xuanyuan family, I'm afraid no one in this world can take care of such a treasure. Fellow Daoist, you're all alone now. You don't belong to any sect. Why do you want to offend an aristocratic family? "
"Oh, and then …" Shen Ying still looked nonchalant.
The Traveling Immortal's face darkened. Someone beside him could not help but say, "Why do you have to waste so much time talking to her? Anyway, this Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit cannot fall into the hands of anyone other than the Xuanyuan family. She has to give it to you even if she doesn't want to!"
With that said, he flew up and raised his sword to stab her. In an instant, the huge sword Qi brought with it a huge gust of wind. Wherever it passed, the grass and trees flew and the Spirit Qi was overwhelming. His speed was extremely fast. In a flash, he was already in front of Shen Ying. The long sword was about to sink into her head.
Shen Ying suddenly raised her hand.
There was a loud clanging sound. The sword in the Traveling Immortal's hand broke into pieces. It broke into pieces in Shen Ying's palm, along with the sword hilt.
She clenched her hand and instantly grabbed his fist that was still holding the sword. The gust of wind brought by the Spirit Qi immediately stopped.
But Shen Ying … did not even move a corner of her robe.
Huh?
"You …" How was this possible? She had broken his ninth-grade spirit sword so easily.
Before he could figure it out, Shen Ying suddenly sighed. She shook the radish in her other hand, which had been secretly wrapping a leaf around her wrist.
"Actually … I'm not interested in such vegetables. If you had told me nicely, I would have given it to you. But … "She narrowed her eyes and turned to look at the people in front of her." Giving it to me is one thing, but if you want to snatch it from me, I won't be happy … "
As she spoke, she suddenly clenched her fist.
Ah …
A strange cry pierced through the air.

By the time Lonemoon caught up with the two of them, it was already noon. After leaving Blackheaven Sect, he followed Yi Qing's aura all the way here. He flew very quickly. There were many emotions in his heart. Touched, guilty, worried … all kinds of emotions. All he wanted was to catch up with the two of them as soon as possible.
Until he saw a wisp of green smoke not far away, he finally found traces of the two of them.
Then …
He saw the five Traveling Immortals lying on the side like a human pyramid.
"Holy shit!" His flying sword was halfway down. He lost his balance and almost fell. Weren't they … the five Traveling Immortals from the Xuan Yuan Family?
"Hey, Father Niu." Shen Ying waved her greasy hand at him. She habitually gave him some space. "It's time for lunch. Do you want to join us?" She pointed at Yi Qing, who was feeling the meat. He returned a look of disdain to Lonemoon. Shameless, you still want to steal my skills!
The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. He turned to look at the "Arhats" on the ground. "They … What are they doing?"
"Oh, they're robbing!" Shen Ying casually explained.
Robbing?
Lonemoon immediately guessed what was going on. It must be because of the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit. But … how long had it been? Five Traveling Immortals were lying on the ground just like that. And they looked so pitiful. What exactly did you do!
"Don't worry, they won't die. They just fainted." Seeing that Lonemoon had been staring at those people, Shen Ying kindly explained. She shook her head and said, "Young … middle-aged people these days, their bodies are too weak." They could not withstand falling at all. They were not even as strong as small animals.
Lonemoon: "…"
"Want a piece?" Shen Ying directly handed a piece of meat to him.
Lonemoon hesitated. He took it and sat beside her as usual. Thinking about what happened before, he felt like something was stuck in his heart. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
After finishing the piece of meat, he said in a low voice, "I've left Blackheaven Sect."
"Oh."
"Just now … I'm sorry!"
Shen Ying paused. She turned to look at him, her expression confused. "What?"
"I was the one who invited you into the ancient mystic realm." Lonemoon took a deep breath and said seriously to the two of them, "It wasn't your fault that the Xuan Yuan Family came to Blackheaven Sect. But they … At the end of the day … I implicated you."
"…"
