After consuming the pill, He Qingxue immediately circulated her cultivation technique to absorb the medicinal energy within the pill. An hour later, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face. She realized that the internal injuries she had sustained were much better than before.
Opening her eyes, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Gongzi, this pill of yours is truly miraculous."
"It's alright," Linlong replied with a smile.
"Thank you, gongzi," He Qingxue followed Linlong's lead and expressed her gratitude.
"May I know why gongzi has come to the Black Ridge Gorge?" Seemingly due to this reason, He Qingxue, who didn't seem to be a talkative person, asked Linlong this question.
"I heard that there are often auctions in the Black Ridge Gorge for treasures that can't be found anywhere else, so I came here to take a look. I also want to broaden my horizons … May I know why you have come to the Black Ridge Gorge?" Linlong casually asked.
Hearing Linlong's question, He Qingxue's expression immediately darkened. It took her a long while before she answered his question.
As it turned out, there was an internal strife in her clan, and they were split into two factions. The faction that she belonged to was clearly at a disadvantage, and in order to avoid being implicated, she had no choice but to escape from her clan.
However, the other faction of her clan still caught up to her in the end. If not for Linlong's interference, they would have been doomed.
"Where are your parents?" Linlong asked.
"They asked me to bring my younger sister away. I wonder how they are now." A hint of worry surfaced on He Qingxue's face. She subconsciously reached out to hug her younger sister, He Tiantian, who had fallen into a deep sleep at some point in time.
He Tiantian was her biological younger sister.
Hearing He Qingxue's words, Linlong nodded inwardly.
He was already certain that He Qingxue was the Spirit Master who slew a Martial Saint in his previous life.
Even though Linlong had never met that Spirit Master, he knew that she was He Qingxue. Due to her beauty and powerful strength, she was known as the Spirit Immortal.
There was another aspect that matched He Qingxue with that Spirit Master, and that was that both of them had experienced a calamity before they became powerful.
Under such circumstances, how could Linlong not be certain that He Qingxue was the Spirit Immortal from his previous life?
Of course, He Qingxue's current strength was still very weak. Not many people even knew that she was a Spirit Master. Because of this, no one had any ideas about her.
After saying this, He Qingxue looked much more relaxed. Because she opened her heart like this, she was no longer as unfamiliar to Linlong as before.
After that, the two of them continued to chat. This kind of chat diluted the sorrow in He Qingxue's heart.
As the two of them chatted for more time, He Qingxue became even more amazed. She discovered that Lin Long was extremely knowledgeable. Not only did he have his own insights on the martial way, but he was also able to speak clearly and logically about runes, which was supposed to be her forte.
There were even some opinions that she had never seen or thought about before.
Afterwards, He Qingxue couldn't help but sigh, "Young Master is truly knowledgeable and talented. I wonder how long Young Master will be staying in Black Ridge Gorge this time? If I can learn from Young Master for a long time, I will be able to take another step forward in the study of runes."
This time, He Qingxue came to Black Ridge Gorge to seek refuge with a person who owed her father a favor. She heard that he was a very righteous person.
It could be said that if nothing unexpected happened, she would be staying here for a long time.
After pondering for a moment, Linlong said, "I don't know about that."
Linlong did not intend to stay long in Black Ridge Gorge this time. If he did not find any information about the spiritual fire in a short period of time, he would not stay and continue waiting.
"Oh." He Qingxue responded rather disappointedly.
Apart from the attacks of some ferocious beasts, nothing major happened during the rest of the journey. These ferocious beasts were not strong. Even the short old man, Elder Dong, did not attack, so they were not affected at all.
After five days, they finally arrived at their destination, which was the market of Black Ridge Gorge.
This could be considered a very small town. However, there were many people inside and it was very lively. It was many times more prosperous than ordinary towns.
From time to time, there were some Martial Masters patrolling the outskirts of the town.
When the group arrived at the entrance of the market, they were stopped by the guards there.
One of the cultivators in charge of communication hurriedly walked up and said, "Brothers, our master is a friend of Deputy Palace Master Mo Wenlang. Please make an exception. This is a token …"
As he spoke, he took out a letter and a heavy bag of silver and handed them to the other party.
The other party first weighed the bag of silver in his hand before receiving the letter. He then said, "Deputy Palace Master Mo's friend?"
"Yes." The cultivator hurriedly nodded his head.
"That's good. Then we can help you inform him. However, there are so many of you. If you want to enter the market, you need to pay enough gold." The other party said again.
"Of course." The cultivator hurriedly turned his head and waved his hand behind him.
Then, two cultivators carried a box of gold and walked towards the other party.
After opening the box and confirming that it was enough, the other party nodded his head and passed the letter to the person behind him. He then said to that person, "Go, tell the brothers inside that Deputy Palace Master Mo's friend has arrived."
"Yes." After replying, the man quickly walked towards the door.
"Alright, everyone, follow my people into the market. They will arrange accommodation for you." Then, the cultivator from before turned his head and said to He Qingxue's group.
The group was led into the market by the other party.
Not long after, they were arranged to stay in inns. These inns looked very clean and tidy. It was obvious that the Yunyan Palace had done their duty after receiving the money.
Lin Long was treated as a distinguished guest. Not only was he alone in a room, but he was also in a room next to He Qingxue's.
This naturally made He Qingxue's cousin, Wu Peng, unhappy. However, as it was personally arranged by He Qingxue, Wu Peng could only accept it even if he was unhappy.
Of course, he could not help but grumble in front of others. However, due to the strength that Lin Long had displayed previously, he did not dare to say anything in front of Lin Long.
Wu Peng's strength had not reached the Rank 9 Martial Master Realm. However, He Qingxue said that he had some experience in Runes. Of course, compared to He Qingxue, he was still far behind.
Lin Long naturally did not care about Wu Peng's strength.
