The short Daoist covered the swollen half of his face and complained,
"I was just joking to ease the atmosphere. Little Jiu, why are you so rude!?! This Senior Brother has endured many hardships to feed you until you were brought up …
Ahem, let's get down to business. "
The short Daoist was known as Jiuwu. When Jiujiu entered the sect at a young age, Exalted Wang Qing had already started to go into seclusion all year round. It was indeed Jiuwu who took care of and raised her.
Although they were fellow disciples, their relationship was like that of a father and daughter. They were used to playing around.
Seeing that Jiujiu was about to flare up again, Jiuwu rolled his eyes and quickly changed the topic. He pointed at the few people behind him and asked, "Their masters are all here.
"Their masters are all here. Who is missing? Where did they go missing? How long have you been trapped here? "
Jiujiu's expression turned gloomy. She lowered her head and bowed to the few people behind her. At that moment, she did not know what to say. When she lowered her head, she bit her lips.
Liu Yan 'er and Wang Ji looked delighted. They flew over from behind and hurriedly bowed, calling out Master, Aunt-Master, and Aunt-Master.
Among the people behind Jiu Wu, there was Jiang Jingshan of the Heaven-Breaking Peak, who was a Perfected Immortal. She was Youqin Genya's master and the current Sect Leader of the Duxian Gate.
Lin Qi of the Heaven-Breaking Peak was a Perfected Immortal and Yuan Qing's master.
There were also the two immortals of the same generation as Jiujiu from the Du Lin Peak and Little Ling Peak. At that moment, they had already found their beloved disciples, so they did not talk much.
Jiujiu's gaze landed on the white-haired Lao Dao, who was standing at the back.
Xiao Qiong Mount Qi Yuan, Li Changshou's master.
The old Daoist priest looked so haggard that Jiu Jiu did not dare to look at him directly.
She lowered her head and sighed. In her heart, she knew how important this disciple, Li Changshou, was to Lao Dao, and how much hope and hesitation Lao Dao had entrusted to him.
Jiujiu said in a low voice, "Shixiong Qi Yuan, the last time I saw Changshou, he went north.
Yuan Qing and Genya headed northwest. Accompanying them was a general from Genya's family. His name was Yuwen Ling.
If I'm not wrong, this is a plot against Genya. "
"Sigh." Qiyuan Laodao laughed bitterly. He cupped his hands at Jiujiu and bowed deeply. He said, "Life and death are decreed by fate. This is how it is to go out and gain experience.
Everyone, I have yet to become an immortal, so it's difficult for me to use it in the North Continent. Please … please help me search for my disciple.
The lineage of Xiao Qiong Mount is forever grateful! "
Jiuwu, who was at the side, hurriedly said, "We're family.
Shixiong Qi Yuan, don't worry. We'll split up now. Jiujiu and I will accompany you to the north to search.
Ninth Junior Sister, don't be in a daze. Cheer up! If you want to be punished, you have to wait until we find them!
These two Essence Immortals were guarding outside the array formation. When I found them, they were constantly repairing the array formation. Obviously, they are one of the culprits who schemed against you. Let's each capture one of them and interrogate them. We'll definitely be able to find out something!
Let's go, let's go! "
Jiang Jingshan and Lin Qi immediately agreed. It was obvious that they were very anxious.
The short Daoist, Jiu Wu, waved his sleeve. The two unconscious Essence Immortals in the distance were immediately pulled over by him and casually thrown to Lin Qi.
They did not say much. At that moment, finding and rescuing their disciples was the most important thing.
After deciding on the frequency at which they would communicate with each other and the search area, they finally split up into three groups.
Wang Ji's master brought Wang Ji and Liu Yan 'er to the town outside to gather information.
Liu Yan 'er's master went with Jiang Jingshan and Lin Qi to search in the northwest direction.
Jiuwu brought Qi Yuan and Jiujiu to search in the north.
The few immortals from the Duxian Gate continued their journey to find their disciples in a hurry.
At the same time, a handsome man who did not want to reveal his name was hiding in a cave that had just been opened up thousands of miles away in the north.
He lit a bonfire, held a scroll, and quietly waited for the arrival of these strong reinforcements.
Not only did he not panic at all, but he even felt a little … satisfied.
Youqin Genya sat cross-legged in the innermost part of the cave. She closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing. Every once in a while, she would open her eyes to look at the figure at the entrance of the cave.
Every time she wanted to find something to talk about, she could always feel that Li Changshou did not want to talk to anyone at that moment.
After killing Yuan Qing, she had been unconscious for three days. She had just woken up half a day ago. Her injuries were no longer serious, but … her scalp hurt a little.
"Senior Brother Changshou, are we going to wait here?"
"Yes," Li Changshou replied casually. "I have left many secret marks that are unique to the Duxian Gate within a radius of 150 kilometers. I have also set up array formations outside this cave to conceal our tracks. This place is considered safe for the time being.
According to what you said, Yuan Qing and his group have other accomplices. If we continue to head south, we will easily run into their hands.
Based on the time, regardless of whether Aunt-Master Jiujiu has escaped or not, the immortals from the sect who came to help us should have already entered the North Continent. "
Li Changshou paused and looked up at Youqin Genya. "If you are still worried, we can also take a detour of about 15,000 kilometers. However, there is also the risk of being met by the other party."
"I … don't worry …"
Youqin Genya said softly and looked up at Li Changshou. Their eyes happened to meet for a moment.
She did not know why, but she had always felt that she was upright and had never done anything shameful. At that moment, she subconsciously lowered her head and looked away.
Her heart felt a little empty, as if a small cat's paw was gently scratching it.
She felt slightly uneasy and uncertain.
It should be because he had been saved twice by this Senior Brother.
Youqin Genya thought that she should think of a way to repay him, even though she was still enjoying Senior Brother Changshou's protection …
"Senior Brother, is there anything I can do?" she asked softly.
Li Changshou replied casually, "Yes, don't release your spiritual senses so easily."
"Yes," Youqin Genya answered solemnly. She felt a little disappointed.
She had become a burden to him.
Crack!
The bonfire let out a soft sound, and the fire became smaller.
Li Changshou took out a gray piece of dry wood from his sleeve and placed it in the bonfire, causing the fire to rise.
At that moment, Youqin Genya realized that the fire was quite strange. There was no smoke at all, and it even emitted a faint fragrance.
"Senior Brother, what's the story behind this fire?"
Li Changshou looked at the bonfire and said calmly, "This is a kind of wood that is not considered precious.
It is taken from the Northern Elemental Winter Pine, which grows in the south of the North Sea.
This pine wood is not a spirit root. In ancient times, it was just an ordinary pine wood. Its special characteristic is that it can withstand the cold.
After the North Continent was covered by the miasma, this pine wood almost became extinct. However, in the end, it flourished again.
"Since then, the Northern Elemental Winter Pine has some kind of magical effect. It is not afraid of the miasma, and it emits a certain aura that can make poisonous insects and beasts hide from it subconsciously.
This small bonfire can make sure that there are no poisonous creatures within a radius of 3,000 feet.
It is said that large patches of Northern Elemental Winter Pine can often be seen in the places where the Magi gather today. This kind of pine wood is not worth a few Spirit Stones, but very few people use it. "
Youqin Genya was a little engrossed in listening. Her eyes reflected the side of Li Changshou's face. She said softly, "Senior Brother, you are really knowledgeable …"
"It's all recorded in the ancient books in the sect," Li Changshou replied calmly. He continued to read the scroll and had no intention of continuing the conversation.
Youqin Genya pursed her lips and thought about something.
After a while …
"Senior Brother, have you found the herb you are looking for?"
"I'm quite lucky. I found it." Li Changshou smiled. He was in a good mood when he thought about this.
Youqin Genya did not want the conversation to end there. She asked, "Senior Brother, you seem to have prepared a lot for this trip."
"That's right." Li Changshou did not even raise his head as he replied casually, "I've been preparing for this trip to the North Continent for 15 years. I've accumulated a lot of poison-repelling items."
15 years?
Youqin Genya blinked lightly and asked again, "Then … What happened to Yuwen Ling and those evil thieves?"
Li Changshou said, "They perished together with the Three-Eyed Blue Wave Serpent that was about to become an immortal. We were very lucky this time. The snake's poison was very powerful."
"Yes." Youqin Genya sighed and said, "Such evil thieves will definitely not have a good ending. I just didn't expect retribution to come so quickly."
Li Changshou said, "Well, poisonous, ahem, Junior Sister Youqin, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Senior Brother, please speak!"
Youqin Genya immediately perked up. Her eyes were filled with light as she looked at Li Changshou with a burning gaze. "If I can repay Senior Brother for saving my life, Genya is willing to give up this life of mine!"
"There's no need to be so serious." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Our trip this time was full of twists and turns. When we return to the mountain, Master will definitely ask about it in detail.
I've always been afraid of trouble, and I don't want to attract too much attention. I don't want to get involved in any trouble. Junior Sister, please don't mention anything related to me when you report to Master.
My cultivation level is not high, and I only have the ability to escape through the earth. I'm afraid people will laugh at me if they find out. "
"Senior Brother …"
Youqin Genya's expression changed. A small bolt of lightning flashed across her heart.
He did not expect to be repaid for his kindness and did not provoke others.
He sought the Immortal Dao wholeheartedly and behaved like a gentleman.
She had mixed feelings in her heart. Her eyes darted around, but she was filled with emotions.
Senior Brother Changshou is a true gentleman. His magnanimity is really something that I can't compare to. It's even more difficult to compare to Yuan Qing.
Youqin Genya, there are so many arrogant people around you that you think that the Qi Refinement cultivators of your generation are nothing more than this. However, you don't know that such a person is hidden among your peers.
If I can become good friends with Senior Brother Changshou, my trip to the immortal sect will not be in vain …
"Senior Brother, don't worry," Youqin Genya said firmly. "Genya understands. I'll remember all of this."
Li Changshou blinked. Did this fellow really understand?
He felt that she was still poisoned. Why …
Forget it. After he returned, he would stay in the Xiao Qiong Mount and not leave. Even if this matter caused a commotion, it would probably calm down in a few months.
Only by keeping a low profile could he avoid karma.
As long as nothing went wrong in the future, his trip to the North Continent would come to a perfect end.
All of a sudden, Li Changshou's expression changed. The spider silk of the Strong-Pupil Three-Headed Spider that he had set up outside suddenly captured an image …
A few figures flew past hurriedly 50 kilometers away. The person at the outermost edge was dressed in hemp clothes and had a slender figure.
Although the other party was flying too fast, and he could not see her face clearly, he could tell from the tightness of her hemp clothes and the shocking curve that appeared only when the wind blew …
Jiujiu!
"Get ready. They're here."
Li Changshou laughed. The stone in his heart was finally lifted.
