Meng Qi was in a daze for a moment. She didn't even react when Yun Qingyan held her hand and ran for a long distance.
She subconsciously looked down at her wrist. The man's slender fingers were warm and strong as they pressed against her palm.
The originally silent forest seemed to have become a little different. At least, she could hear her heart beating faster and faster in her ears.
"Qing Yanzhenjun …" Meng Qi opened her mouth and murmured.
He should be able to hear her voice, just like she had heard his voice just now.
Yun Qingyan turned his head and smiled at her. His eyebrows relaxed, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
Meng Qi's face suddenly became a little hot.
Even though they were still in the Starfall Sea and in this treacherous forest, she didn't seem to be nervous or afraid anymore.
With Yun Qingyan by her side, there was nothing to be afraid of when she was with him.
Yun Qingyan slowly slowed down. The forest was still very dark. They had already run for a long distance, but they still hadn't reached the open space where Pei Mufeng and the others were just now.
Meng Qi's dazed mind finally began to clear up.
She looked around, looked at the slowly walking man, and asked, "Qing Yanzhenjun, why are you here?"
Yun Qingyan smiled at her and didn't say anything.
He was still holding Meng Qi's hand, as if this was the most natural thing to do.
The two of them walked slowly in the forest, hand in hand.
Meng Qi was in a daze for a moment. It was as if they weren't in the Starfall Sea, but in a beautiful garden with birds and flowers. They were strolling leisurely.
"The person who spoke to me just now …" The two of them walked for a long time before Meng Qi murmured, "Was it really Senior Lin Yan?"
She was a little confused. What was going on in this place?
Why did she run into Senior Lin Yan?
"Yes." Yun Qingyan nodded casually.
He suddenly raised his finger, and a gust of wind shot up. Two leaves fluttered and landed on his palm.
He handed the leaf to Meng Qi.
Meng Qi opened his hand and caught the leaf. He looked down at his palm.
They were two small, emerald-like leaves.
It was heart-shaped and slightly thick. In the middle of the leaf, there was a small, bright red mark that looked like a raindrop. It looked rather strange.
"This is …" Meng Qi frowned and quickly tried to recall. "Ah!"
She couldn't help but cry out in surprise. She suddenly remembered, "This is Falling Heart Wood."
Meng Qi held the two small leaves and sniffed them.
A faint fragrance assaulted his nostrils. It was very similar to the elegant fragrance of the girls in the countryside when it rained. It also had the smell of bamboo leaves. It was very pleasant to the nose.
Most importantly, this smell was not aggressive at all. It would make people subconsciously relax.
"Is it really Falling Heart Wood?!" Meng Qi still couldn't believe it. "I've only seen this thing in books. It's said that it can be used to make the world's most powerful knockout drug. It's colorless and odorless. After inhaling it, it can make people fall into an illusion without them knowing. It's just that no one has ever obtained it. I thought it was just a legend. I didn't expect Falling Heart Wood to really exist in this world. "
Meng Qi raised his head and looked at the surrounding trees. "Are these all Falling Heart Wood?"
Yun Qingyan didn't answer him.
He let go of Meng Qi's hand and stood in place with his hands behind his back. He raised his head and looked at the trees that had been growing for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
"Probably." His tone was faint and sounded a little melancholy.
Meng Qi looked around. Her heart skipped a beat.
"Legend has it that Falling Heart Wood only grows in the place where a great power has fallen. Not all places where a great power has fallen will have Falling Heart Wood, unless …"
She hesitated, "What unfinished business did this fallen great being have?"
This was the record of Falling Heart Wood that Meng Qi had seen in a book.
"Oh." Yun Qingyan looked back at her and seemed a little surprised. "And then?"
Meng Qi shook her head. "There have been medical cultivators in the trichiliocosm for tens of thousands of years. In the books I've read, no medical cultivator has really seen Falling Heart Wood. Before today, I didn't know whether this thing really existed or not. According to the book, the essence of Falling Heart Wood's leaves is extracted, boiled, ground into a fine powder, and scattered in the wind. The person who inhales it will completely lose their mind. They won't know whether they're in pain, whether they're awake or in a dream. It's the world's most powerful knockout drug. There's no antidote. "
As she spoke, she looked at the two leaves in her hand. Her heart skipped a beat.
If it weren't for the fact that this forest was strange and unusual, she would have tried to see if the legend was true.
Meng Qi suppressed the curiosity in her heart and said, "I heard Senior Lin Yan's voice just now. Qing Yanzhenjun, did you hear it? "
Yun Qingyan shook her head. "No."
"Perhaps it's because I have the Five Spirit Cauldron and Senior Lin Yan's medical letter," Meng Qi said.
She didn't hide it from Yun Qingyan. The other party had been following her in the form of a little white tiger. She had also seen what happened in the barrier of the competition. There was nothing to hide.
"In the Apricot Forest Competition's barrier is the will that Senior Lin Yan left in the world. This place … "
Meng Qi thought about the legend of the Falling Heart Wood. "Maybe."
Her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say that sentence in the end.
If the legend of the Fallen Heart Tree was true, then this might be the place where Lin Yan, the legendary doctor from the ancient times, had fallen.
If the Falling Heart Wood recorded in the book was true.
Did that mean that a benevolent Profound realm expert like Senior Lin Yan had something that she couldn't let go of?
Meng Qi's gaze fell on Yun Qingyan, who was standing with his hands behind his back. She looked at the white robe on the other party's body.
He was wearing a small silver crown today. His black hair was tied up, and he was wearing a wide-sleeved robe. He looked as beautiful as an orchid tree.
"We …" Meng Qi opened her mouth and looked around.
Yun Qingyan was holding her hand just now, so she didn't notice where they went at all.
Now it seemed that they weren't going to the open space where Pei Mufeng and the others were.
"Qing Yanzhenjun." Meng Qi lowered her hand and clenched the jade token in her other hand. "I haven't thanked you yet. Thanks to your jade token, I was able to bring my friends out of this forest."
She paused and said, "But Pavilion Master Pei and the others are still in the forest. Let's take them out first, okay?"
"Pavilion Master Pei?" Yun Qingyan turned around and looked at Meng Qi. "You want to leave?"
"This place is a bit strange. If it weren't for the token Qing Yanzhenjun gave me, I wouldn't have been able to pass through it smoothly. My friends are trapped here, and the longer they stay, the more dangerous it is for them. So I want to take them out first. "
Meng Qi paused for a moment upon saying this.
When she spoke again, her voice was even lower than before. "I … They all thought I fell into the Starfall Sea and came to save me. After I take them out of here safely, Qing Yanzhenjun, if you don't plan to leave, I … I should also stay and serve you. "
As Meng Qi spoke, she subconsciously held the jade token in her hand tighter.
She had been holding the jade token for a long time, and it was warm and comfortable.
There was nothing wrong with what she said. In her previous life, they had been together like this for several years.
Yun Qingyan was very strong, but he was very easy-going.
With his cultivation level, he didn't need to eat when he met Meng Qi.
However, Meng Qi was only in the Zhuji Realm at that time, so she couldn't completely abstain from eating. Besides, she also liked to eat.
So when the two of them lived in seclusion in the valley, Meng Qi often went to look for fresh fruits and vegetables, edible spiritual flowers, spiritual herbs, and spiritual fruits, and even snacks sold in the town to bring back to the mountain.
yawenku.com
She often cooked by herself.
Yun Qingyan ate at the same table with her every time, and he never felt that there was anything wrong with what she did.
Cultivators didn't need to do any trivial things. Cleaning, tidying up the room, washing clothes, and picking vegetables … these kinds of things that ordinary people needed to do, cultivators could do it with just a spell.
Occasionally, when there were some things that needed to be done, such as dealing with strange beasts, planting spiritual flowers, and spiritual herbs, Meng Qi would obediently rush to do them all herself.
It wasn't wrong to say that Meng Qi served him and respected him as a master.
What she said was nothing, but Meng Qi's voice became softer and softer.
She also didn't know why she was like this.
The jade token was still in her hand, and it was warm. But even she could feel that there was something different between her and Yun Qingyan.
The white-robed man glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes and changed the topic. "You are going to find them?"
"Yes." Meng Qi stilled, but still nodded.
She faintly felt that something wasn't right, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Alright." Yun Qingyan nodded slightly, identified the direction, and continued to walk forward.
"Qing Yanzhenjun." Meng Qi hurriedly followed.
"Are you familiar with this place?" she asked.
What she was more curious about was that after Yun Qingyan appeared, the sounds in the forest started to increase.
The wind rustled the leaves, and the occasional sound of insects. The birds started to become active, and the clear sounds of birds would occasionally come from the depths of the forest.
When they spoke, they could hear each other's voices.
Yun Qingyan didn't answer Meng Qi's question and slowly walked forward.
His steps weren't big, and his boots stepped on the withered leaves on the ground, making a "cha cha" sound.
Meng Qi bent down and picked up a few withered leaves. In the middle of the withered leaves, she could still see the red mark that looked like a water droplet.
"I don't know if Senior Lin Yan has any unfinished business." Meng Qi opened her palm and looked at the withered leaves that were blown by the wind.
"Qing Yanzhenjun." She turned to Yun Qingyan and asked, "Do powerhouses like you and Senior Lin Yan also have regrets?"
She sighed softly. "Since Senior Lin Yan, there hasn't been a Profound Realm great doctor among the medical cultivators. In addition to the disputes of the three realms for tens of thousands of years, some medical cultivation sects were cut off. Three thousand years ago, the only Ninth Realm great perfection medical cultivator also died during the Immortal Tribulation. After that, there weren't any Ninth Realm great doctors. "
Yun Qingyan responded casually, as if he wasn't interested in these things.
Meng Qi obediently shut her mouth and didn't say anything else. She followed behind him silently.
She didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this. It was probably because they had spent several years together in her previous life. Although the two of them weren't master and disciple, they talked about everything.
They talked about the secrets of the three realms, the difficulties or chores they encountered during cultivation, and the people Meng Qi saved when she occasionally went out to look for medicine or when she was training.
Yun Qingyan would sometimes leave for half a month or twenty days. During that time, things big and small happened.
He would always listen to Meng Qi patiently, and sometimes he would talk about his own things.
Meng Qi was used to getting along with him like that. She had long been used to speaking directly and saying whatever was on her mind.
She would even cry and laugh whenever she wanted to.
Because …
She took a step forward, but her mind was a little absent-minded.
Because Yun Qingyan had never shown the slightest impatience or disdain in front of her.
Even though he was so strong and his cultivation was far superior to hers.
But right now, Yun Qingyan didn't seem to want to talk.
Meng Qi gently bit her lower lip. She obediently shut her mouth and didn't say anything else. She just silently followed behind Yun Qingyan for a distance.
It was difficult to tell directions in this forest. It was a little dark, and all the trees looked the same.
The last time she came in, she followed the location of the signal fireworks and walked straight in that direction. She found Xue Jinwen and the others.
After being pulled for a distance just now, she couldn't tell north from south.
Fortunately, Yun Qingyan was leading the way in front.
The two of them walked for a while and turned around a few tall trees. Sure enough, the front suddenly opened up.
Meng Qi hurriedly quickened her pace and walked forward. Pei Mufeng and Lu Qing Ran were still in the open space in the forest. She didn't know if something had happened to them.
She was a little worried. She didn't notice that Yun Qingyan suddenly stopped and let her walk past her.
"Huh?" Meng Qi had just walked to the edge of the open space when she suddenly stopped.
There was indeed a small open space in the forest in front of her, but there was no sign of Pei Mufeng and Lu Qing Ran.
"Here …" Meng Qi suddenly turned her head and looked behind her. "Qing Yanzhenjun?!"
Behind her, Yun Qingyan also disappeared.
The forest became quiet again. The rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the chirping of insects seemed to disappear in an instant.
"Hahahaha …" Lin Yan's bell-like laughter sounded in Meng Qi's ears. "Little sister, are you looking for your little lover? But … "
She giggled. The more pleasant her laughter was, the more demonic it sounded. "But I'm very curious. Who is your little lover? Is it those young cultivators waiting outside the forest, or the little cultivator in the open space who is good with the sword? Or … where's the white-robed male cultivator you've always been thinking about and hiding in your heart? "
"Senior Lin Yan." Meng Qi's expression became serious, and she looked ahead.
Lin Yan's voice seemed to sound in her ears. It seemed to be very close, but also seemed to be very far.
"Senior Lin Yan." Meng Qi clasped her hands and bowed respectfully. "Junior is also a medical cultivator and has received great kindness from Senior. If Senior has something you want to do, please tell me. I will do my best to do it for Senior. "
As she spoke, she stood up straight and said in a firm tone, "I will go through water and tread on fire, no matter what."
"Hahaha …" Lin Yan laughed very happily. "What can I possibly need a little Jindan cultivator like you to do?"
Although she said that, Meng Qi only saw a shadow flash in front of her eyes.
In the air in front of her, a woman wearing a gorgeous and exquisite palace dress was lazily sitting on a willow branch.
That willow branch looked soft and thin, but the woman in the palace dress looked very comfortable sitting on it.
Her feet were hanging down, and she wore a pair of soft silk embroidered shoes. There were two pearls at the top of the shoes that emitted a lustrous pearl light. At a glance, one could tell that it was not an ordinary item.
The woman in the palace dress swayed her feet lightly. She held her chin with one hand and looked down at Meng Qi with a smile that was not a smile. "Tell me, what can you do for me?"
"Senior … Lin Yan?" Meng Qi murmured, and couldn't help but blink lightly.
The woman in front of her was bright and moving. Her light smile was enough to cause the downfall of a city.
On her peerlessly beautiful face, there was even a hint of innocence in her smile.
She looked at Meng Qi with one hand holding her chin, her eyes moving and extremely lively.
Meng Qi could be considered to have seen many beauties.
Sikong Xing, Lu Qing Ran, the Xue sisters … … they were all great beauties that could be ranked in the top of the three thousand worlds.
But they were not as good as this Senior Lin Yan.
This … … tens of thousands of years ago, her medical skills were unparalleled in the world. Everyone had to respectfully call her a profound realm doctor. She was a senior medical practitioner who was willing to sacrifice herself to save the ordinary people of six cities and eight towns.
Meng Qi really did not expect Lin Yan to be so beautiful.
"Little sister." Lin Yan stretched out a slender finger and waved it gently. "You haven't answered my question just now. Who is your little lover?"
As she spoke, she chuckled and waved her slender hand.
A vine suddenly hung down from a tree beside her.
A man in a black robe was tied to the vine — —
"Pei Mufeng!" Meng Qi immediately recognized the man tied to the tree by the vine. It was the pavilion master of the Falling Star Pavilion, Pei Mufeng.
The other party lowered his head and seemed to have fainted.
"Or …" Lin Yan waved her hand again.
Another vine hung down from another tree. On the vine that was as thick as a child's arm, the head of the black-robed young man hung low. His long black hair fell on his chest.
"Chu Tianfeng!"
Meng Qi looked up at the scene in front of him, but countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Little sister." Lin Yan chuckled. "Are you going to attack me?"
As she spoke, she flicked her fingers. There was no spell, no weapon, or Dharma treasure.
A strong wind swept past in front of Meng Qi and drew a deep trench in the soil in front of her.
"You have the Five Spirit Cauldron and my medical manual. I like you. Don't force me to attack you. "Lin Yan smiled coquettishly and waved her hand again.
On the trees beside her, several vines hung down with a rustling sound.
The vines were like living creatures with crisp leaves on them.
In addition to Pei Mufeng, Qin Xiumo, Xue Chengxuan, Sikong Xing, and others were all unconscious and tied to the trees by the vines.
All of Meng Qi's friends were here. Even Lu Qing Ran was among them.
Meng Qi's hands slowly clenched and then loosened.
Calm down.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She definitely couldn't win against him.
Even if Senior Lin Yan's cultivation level had fallen, she was still an Insightful Emptiness Realm powerhouse. It was easy for her to deal with a Golden Core cultivator.
The other party was a Mysterious Realm great doctor from tens of thousands of years ago. It was impossible for her to want the things on her.
Moreover, if she really wanted it, she could easily take everything away from him.
Then why did she do it?
The Five Spirit Cauldron?
Meng Qi remembered that the other party had just said that she wanted her to see the bamboo slip of refining the Five Spirit Cauldron.
Meng Qi closed her eyes and stretched out her hand.
In the middle of her fair palm, there was a small and exquisite bamboo slip.
The bamboo slip was yellowed. At first glance, it was obvious that it had been through the baptism of time.
"Senior." Meng Qi's tone was still respectful. "This is the bamboo slip of refining the Five Spirit Cauldron."
"Huh?" Lin Yan seemed a little surprised.
She stretched out her hand and the bamboo slip flew into her hand. "It really is the Five Spirit Cauldron. The imprint is still there. Since you can refine the Five Spirit Cauldron, it really was passed on to you."
Lin Yan muttered softly as she flipped through the bamboo slip.
She put away the bamboo slip and glanced at Meng Qi again. "Your Five Spirit Cauldron has just been refined with Buddhist sand. If you give this bamboo slip to me, it will be difficult for your natal magic weapon to improve. Are you willing to accept this?"
"No." Meng Qi said.
She still wanted to become stronger. She didn't want to be left too far behind by Yun Qingyan.
She also wanted to make sure that when he was injured again, or when he was in danger of losing his mind, she would no longer have to rely on gambling and risking her life for him.
But …
"Senior, please let them go." Meng Qi cupped his hands and bowed, saying politely.
"Who said that I will let them go after I get the bamboo slip of refining the Five Spirit Cauldron?" Lin Yan chuckled again.
She blinked her eyes and suddenly jumped down from the willow branch, standing in front of Meng Qi.
"I almost forgot." Lin Yan raised her hand.
The willow branch she was sitting on suddenly extended and curved into the shape of a bed.
Meng Qi looked up. "Qing Yanzhenjun!"
The white-robed man was lying on the bed woven from willow branches. His eyes were closed and he had also fainted.
Lin Yan chuckled and walked to Meng Qi's side with her hands behind her back.
"Look how good I am to you. This is the one you like and care about the most. I didn't tie him up. I let him lie comfortably on the bed." She walked to Meng Qi's side and reached out to pinch her hair.
"Little sister, it's impossible to get out of this forest alive. But … "
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Since my Five Spirit Cauldron and Medical Practice Manual are with you, it can be considered that we are fated. So … "
She said, "I'll give you a chance to save them."
Meng Qi's hands hanging by her sides clenched and then slowly loosened.
"You like this guy the most, most, most, most, most, most, right?" Lin Yan said and gently shook her finger at the bed woven from willow branches.
The bed, along with Yun Qingyan, swayed in the air.
Meng Qi bit her lower lip and didn't say anything.
"Even if you don't say anything, you can't hide from me," Lin Yan said with certainty. "There's nothing in this forest that can hide from me."
"As for me …" She circled around Meng Qi and looked at her. "I need their spiritual aura."
Meng Qi's heart suddenly stirred. "Spiritual aura?"
"Yes." Lin Yan nodded. "But since we're fated to be together, I can give you a chance. It's not bad that you know Falling Heart Wood. "
Meng Qi didn't say anything.
Lin Yan didn't seem to want to wait for her to speak. She continued, "You're in the Golden Core Realm, and your medical skills have reached such a high level. What's rare is that your mind is nimble … "
Meng Qi's heart stirred. She saw Lin Yan holding a small medicinal pill at her fingertips. "You can actually think of a way to fuse formations and medicinal pills into one."
When she said this, her cheeks suddenly flushed red. Her eyes wandered, and she seemed to think of some beautiful memory. Her entire person became sweet and shy.
However, the sweetness didn't last long. Lin Yan's expression became more and more gloomy.
She seemed to be infatuated. She looked at the medicinal pill in her hand and murmured, "I didn't expect that there would actually be a medical cultivator who could do it … Didn't they say that formation cultivators were slightly …"
When she said this, her voice came to an abrupt stop, and she fell silent.
After a long while, Lin Yan suddenly looked at Meng Qi with a charming smile. "So, you and I are also fated. I like you very much."
As she said this, she waved her hand again.
In an instant, dozens of Falling Heart Wood leaves flew down from the tall trees.
Lin Yan's fingers moved in the air for a moment, and the leaves flew towards the people who were either tied up or lying on the ground. They stopped in front of them and didn't understand.
Meng Qi looked up and saw that there were three leaves in front of each of them.
The leaves were very close to Sikong Xing and the others' lips. She knew that as long as Lin Yan waved her hand again, the leaves would be sent to her friends' mouths.
Meng Qi had never really seen Falling Heart Wood, but its usage was recorded in books.
Just inhaling the powder was already the most powerful knockout drug.
Then what if …
"I heard what you said just now was quite right." Lin Yan put her hands behind her back and tilted her head slightly to look at Meng Qi. "Inhaling the powder can make people feel pain and not know whether they're dead or alive. They'll be muddle-headed, and there's no antidote for it. They can only wait for the drug to dissipate. Hmm … "
She smiled sweetly, revealing two cute dimples on her cheeks. "If you inhale a little, it'll take three to five days for you to slowly wake up. But if you eat it directly … "
Lin Yan moved closer to Meng Qi and said softly, "Then you'll become a walking corpse, like an idiot. Apart from eating and sleeping, you don't know or understand anything … Probably, for them, it's even worse than death."
"So, little sister." Lin Yan raised her arm and drew a semicircle in front of her. "You choose."
"Choose, choose what?" Meng Qi's voice became a little dry.
She vaguely guessed Lin Yan's meaning.
But why? This Lin Yan was completely different from the one he had met at the tournament.
But the other party knew about the Five Spirit Cauldron, knew about the Medical Handbook, and her voice was the same …
It wasn't that Meng Qi didn't suspect that the other party wasn't Lin Yan.
But was there any difference whether she was Lin Yan or not?
No!
She was so strong, even Qing Yanzhenjun …
Meng Qi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Choose what?"
"Him, or them." Lin Yan chuckled. "What about your most beloved little lover? Or these people that you like less … Why don't you choose one? "
She paused and said, "I can let you and the person you choose go. As for the rest, they must stay and eat my Fallen Heart Tree leaves and be driven by me until they die. "
The author has something to say: Sorry, yesterday's chapter was an old version. I changed the outline and revised the new version. I didn't notice when I posted it. I was wondering why the word count was missing by a few hundred to reach 6,000. Thank you for reminding me. I've changed it. Recently, I've been taking anti-allergy medicine, so I feel a little dizzy every day. I'm so confused that I cover my face.

Everyone:?
Pei Xia:!!!
After Pei Xia transferred to Huo Chenxiao's school, she found that the Regent was not the only one who had transmigrated.
Her prime minister, guards, eunuchs, and empress also came, all of them rubbing their hands and rubbing their hands to defeat the Regent.
Pei Xia: I don't dare, I don't know how to, please don't take me with you.
