Zhao Yarou was unconscious for two and a half days before she woke up.
Fortunately, when she was in the Xiang Clan, she had resisted with her life. Therefore, other than her body being a little weak, she did not suffer any other injuries.
After all, the Xiang family wanted to swallow up the Zhao family. In their eyes, Zhao Yarou and the Zhao family were the meat on the chopping board.
However, he had never thought that Qin Yichen would be an accident.
Over the past few days, Qin Yichen and the other two were treated with the highest level of respect in the Zhao family.
Although he didn't step out of the house, the Xiang Clan outside had already been annihilated.
Naturally, news of this matter reached the North Nether Sect.
The North Nether Sect was enraged. Once again, they sent out a message that they would severely punish the culprit.
Just when everyone thought that the North Nether Sect was about to make a big move, they were shocked to discover that the thunder was loud but the raindrops were very light.
In fact, not a single elder from the Dark North Sect stepped forward after the announcement was made.
This subtle attitude made many people understand one thing.
The Dark North Sect was terrified!
After their core disciples were killed and three to four elders fell one after another, the Dark North Sect chose to retreat.
He was indeed retreating.
He avoided Qin Yichen and continued to fight.
Was this the reason why the North Nether Sect feared Qin Yichen?!
Absolutely not.
Although Qin Yichen's strength was not bad, he was still stuck at the peak of the beginner level of Martial King.
This kind of strength was obviously not enough to deter a large sect.
Therefore, many people immediately thought of the power behind Qin Yichen.
This was something that could not be ignored.
After thinking about it carefully, many forces felt relieved.
Although the Dark North Sect had taken a step back, one had to admit that it was a smart decision.
For the North Nether Sect that stood at the pinnacle, this kind of loss was still bearable. Moreover, it would not cause much of an impact.
As for mocking the Dark North Sect …
Other than the Three Sects and One Mansion, who else would dare to mock the North Nether Sect?!
They avoided Qin Yichen because they were afraid of the power behind him. However, the other forces did not have this.
The situation was quickly calmed down.
However, all the forces remembered one person, a person that they should never provoke … Qin Yichen.
…
Qin Yichen was not surprised by the North Nether Sect's reaction.
However, the people of the Zhao Clan were different from him. They had been uneasy all this time. It was only after they inquired about some information that they finally felt relieved.
Looking at the youth in front of him, the head of the Zhao Family, Zhao Wengting, didn't know what to say.
In particular, those from the Zhao Family who had previously treated Qin Yichen with disdain looked ashamed.
To think that they still suspected others.
If it wasn't for Qin Yichen, the Zhao family would probably have ceased to exist.
"Mr. Qin, I can't thank you enough. If you need the Zhao family's help, just let me know."
Zhao Wengting's expression was sincere.
It was useless to say too many words of gratitude. He just needed to remember the kindness.
"Hehe."
Qin Yichen smiled and didn't say anything.
In fact, he was also here to repay the kindness.
However, the Zhao Family couldn't figure out why Qin Yichen would help them. Now, they were even more worried that something might happen to Zhao Yarou on her way to Shifang Dan Province. Qin Yichen even offered to send Zhao Yarou to Shifang Dan Province.
"Yarou, please take care of her, Mr. Qin."
Following Zhao Wengting's gaze, an elder beside him took out a bundle and handed it to him. "This is a small gift from the Zhao Family. We hope that Mr. Qin can accept it."
"This …"
Qin Yichen was a little hesitant. However, after seeing the expressions of the Zhao Family members around him, he hesitated for a moment before accepting it. "Then I'll accept it respectfully."
He knew that this was a gift from the Zhao Family. If he didn't accept it, the Zhao Family might misunderstand and think that he was looking down on them.
Qin Yichen left without alerting any of the factions in the city.
He, Zhao Yarou, Gongshu Zhiyi, and Lu Xiaoguan got into an inconspicuous carriage and left Ningyang City.
… …
Shifang Ancient City.
Shifang Dan Province.
Speaking of the Ten Directions Pill Palace, there was no one who did not know about it.
In terms of martial power, Shifang Dan Province might not be the strongest in this region. However, in terms of prestige, even the three major sects combined couldn't compare to Shifang Dan Province.
Most of the pill masters in the three major sects came from Shifang Dan Province.
Moreover, if the juniors of the three major sects were found to have outstanding spiritual power talent, they would be sent to Shifang Dan Province to study.
It was clear that Shifang Dan Province had a deep influence on this region.
However, this also caused the internal structure of Shifang Dan Province to become very complicated. It was divided into large and small factions.
Even if a newcomer's talent met the requirements to enter Shifang Dan Province, they could only choose to join a faction. Otherwise, no matter how talented they were, they'd be buried.
Moreover, in the Ten Directions Pill Palace, the competition between the various forces was also in full swing.
The strength of a faction was inseparable from the strength of its pill masters.
For example, the three major sects had a certain understanding of each other's strength. Even if an individual was slightly stronger, the difference wouldn't be too great.
This was when the usefulness of pills came into play.
Pills could make up for some differences in strength and make the strong stronger, thus widening the gap in strength.
Qin Yichen had been to Shifang Dan Province before, so he knew the ropes inside.
He hadn't planned on entering Dan Province, but after his trip to the Gongshu Clan and his strength had increased, he felt the need to make a trip to Dan Province.
This was because there was something in Shifang Dan Province that was worth fighting for — the Heart Burning Fruit.
If he could obtain the Heart Burning Fruit and refine the City Heart Burning Pill, Qin Yichen's mental power cultivation would be able to improve further!
That was Qin Yichen's goal.
Although his mental power cultivation was comparable to an intermediate Martial King, it was far from enough to go to the Feng Clan and face the Ouyang clan.
He had to continue improving himself.
The four of them didn't encounter any obstacles along the way. A few days later, they arrived at Shifang Ancient City.
Shifang Ancient City wasn't the largest in this region, but it was definitely the most prosperous city. The reason was none other than pills!
Pills were a necessity for any faction or powerhouse.
In Ten Directions Ancient City, one could buy the best medicinal pills and sell some medicinal herbs for double the price.
Many merchants bought pills at a low price in Shifang Ancient City and sold them to other cities at a high price. There were also merchants who bought herbs at a low price and sold them in Shifang Ancient City.
As time passed, Shifang Ancient City became more prosperous and became the most important economic hub in this region.
