Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

When the two of them first set off in this direction, the pressure quickly built up. Yang Ling could sense how strong the pressure was, and how unexpectedly Xu Fu had been able to follow him for so long.

Yang Ling found it hard to believe that Xu Fu was stronger and more determined. He had no rivals in the human world, and his strength had been enhanced by the principles of the Dao in the Rebirth Pool. He had already transcended the ordinary realm and was incomparable to Xu Fu and others.

He could sense the pressure, which Xu Fu would not be able to bear under normal circumstances. Following him for a long time like before was impossible.

Combined with these situations, the pressure in this space seems to vary from person to person. The stronger the strength, the greater the pressure; the weaker the strength, the less pressure.

Yang Ling and Xu Fu were both here for the first time and had never taken action. If they were only based on their aura, it would be difficult for the space to accurately judge their strength.

In addition to aura, the accurate way to judge strength is the speed and amount of spiritual energy absorbed.

The two have reached the realm of the human world and can actively absorb the surrounding spiritual energy in a spiritual environment.

Yang Ling's strength and talent were stronger than Xu Fu's, so he naturally absorbed more and faster. Space sensed this, so the pressure on him was far greater than that on Xu Fu.

Knowing that the pressure given by the space is determined by the amount of spiritual energy absorbed, it becomes much easier to avoid the pressure.

"Use your spiritual power to condense a spiritual power shield to isolate the surrounding spiritual energy!" After Yang Ling successfully experimented on himself, he immediately turned around and instructed Xu Fu.

"Yes, Master!" Xu Fu said nothing. He nodded respectfully in response to his master's instructions.

Before he finished speaking, he circulated the spiritual power in his body and quickly condensed a spiritual power shield to protect himself inside, isolating all the spiritual energy outside.

Soon after the spiritual power shield was formed, the pressure on Xu Fu gradually eased until it disappeared.

After hearing Yang Ling's words, Xu Fu didn't even ask why he had to use a spiritual power shield to isolate the spiritual energy, and just did it directly.

He was extremely smart and knew that Yang Ling would not harm him. If he really had bad intentions, he could have let him die at the gate of the other courtyard in Xianyang City.

Because of this, Xu Fu was very excited that Yang Ling could tell him the first time he found a way to avoid pressure. This proved that he still held an important position in his master's heart.

Yang Ling didn't know what Xu Fu was thinking at the moment, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After all, he was just an ordinary outer disciple.

"Come forward and walk side by side with me!" Yang Ling raised his eyes to look at Xu Fu and called out.

The space they were in was too weird. Not only was the power weird, the entire space seemed extremely strange, making people feel at a loss.

Without the guidance of someone as experienced and powerful as Yang Ling, Xu Fu would have no idea how to find a way out of this place in his life.

In this space full of unknowns and fear, Yang Ling didn't want any more accidents to happen around him. If Xu Fu had been following him, and something attacked from behind, they would definitely not have time to react.

"Thank you, Master!" Xu Fu also understood Yang Ling's intention of asking him to walk side by side. At this moment, he did not stick to the distinction between superiors and subordinates. After thanking him, he walked forward quickly.

After the spiritual power shield was erected, the pressure on the two disappeared, but they were now unable to use their spiritual power freely.

Practitioners need to draw in spiritual energy from heaven and earth to improve their strength and maintain their daily lives. Without spiritual energy, they are no different from ordinary people. In a place without food and water, they will soon starve to death.

Therefore, neither of them dared to use their spiritual power at will. All their spiritual power was used to maintain the formation of the spiritual power shield.

Yang Ling led the way, and Xu Fu followed closely behind. The fluorescent spells on their fingertips illuminated the road ahead.

However, in this pitch-black darkness, the fluorescent technique alone was not of much use, at least it was impossible to see clearly what was happening in the distance.

Yang Ling walked with Xu Fu for a long time, then stopped and extinguished the fluorescent magic on his fingertips.

Seeing Yang Ling's actions, Xu Fu looked at him with some doubt and asked, "Master, should I also extinguish the Luminescence Technique?"

He guessed that Yang Ling might have made a new discovery and thought that the fluorescent magic would hinder the next action, so he took the initiative to extinguish it. However, Yang Ling did not issue any instructions, which confused Xu Fu and he could only ask proactively.

"No need."

Yang Ling glanced at Xu Fu lightly, shook his head, and responded concisely.

He extinguished the fluorescent technique in order to make other preparations, and Xu Fu did not need to participate, so naturally he did not need to follow his actions.

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu immediately nodded in agreement with a respectful attitude.

Yang Ling's spiritual power surged, and he raised his palm slightly, and the spiritual power gathered instantly. Wonderful and obscure runes floated out from his palm and spread around.

These runes emitted light, brighter than the fluorescent spells they had used to illuminate the area before. As the number of runes increased, the area around the two people that was illuminated became wider and wider.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Ling felt that it was enough, so he withdrew his hand and looked forward.

At this time, the area was illuminated as brightly as day, and even though it was night, the vision was not affected at all.

The two had walked an unknown distance under pressure and were now far away from their original location. This was evident from the completely different architectural styles around them.

They stood in front of a magnificent hall, which was solemn and majestic, like a ancestral temple in ancient times. However, there were dozens of identical palaces in a row, covering an area that almost exceeded the palace complex in the entire Xianyang City. How could it be a ancestral temple of a certain family?
Yang Ling searched every corner of his memory, but was unable to find anyone with such power.

"Master, do you see anyone over there?"

Xu Fu's voice was filled with uncertainty, and it reached Yang Ling's ears. He immediately raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Xu Fu's finger.

At the foot of the palace wall about two miles away from them, two graceful figures flashed by. They were extremely fast, but before disappearing, they paused for a moment, as if they wanted to see something clearly.

The two figures were like girls who were being watched by a young boy while traveling. They were afraid that their reputation would be damaged, so they hurriedly avoided him, but they could not help but look back at the boy.

"It seems that they are still two beauties!"

Xu Fu knew more about women than Yang Ling did, and he could tell at a glance that they were two women.

Yang Ling frowned slightly, staring at the place where the two figures disappeared, alert in his heart. But he didn't say much, just called Xu Fu and said: "Go in and take a look!"

This place, whether in terms of architectural style or atmosphere, exudes an ancient feeling. Yang Ling doesn't believe that such an ancient palace complex is still inhabited.

But where exactly is this place? What is its purpose? What secrets are hidden inside? Who can know unless you go in and see for yourself?

Xu Fu wanted to go in when he saw the two figures, but he didn't dare to act rashly because Yang Ling hadn't spoken. Now that Yang Ling took the initiative to propose it, he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

Xu Fu was not a man who was greedy for beauty, but he had not seen a living person for a long time. When he saw the two of them at once, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

From a distance, the palace complex looks neat, compact and orderly. But once you actually walk in, it is hard to find your way around. Because every magnificent palace looks exactly the same, when you walk past one and look up, you still see the same scene as before.

If you can't overlook the entire palace complex, it would be difficult to find the right way here and get to where you want to go.

After Xu Fu followed Yang Ling around for two circles, he felt that his spiritual power was a little difficult to support. He held the wall with one hand and his waist with the other, panting and said to Yang Ling: "Master... I really..." Before he finished speaking, he began to breathe heavily, obviously a little out of breath. Yang Ling was very patient and stood there waiting for him to recover.

"Master, I can't walk anymore. My spiritual energy is exhausted, and I haven't eaten for a long time. I really have no strength left!"

Before he could finish his words, Xu Fu fell to the ground, motionless, as if he had lost his life.

It wasn't that he didn't want to move, nor was he pretending to be dead. It was that his spiritual power was truly exhausted, and he was filled with feelings that only mortals would have, such as fatigue, hunger, and thirst.

The light of the spiritual power shield on Xu Fu's body became weaker and weaker, and disappeared completely the moment he fell.

Yang Ling curled his lips slightly, walked over and threw a round pill to Xu Fu: "This is a spiritual pill. After taking it, it will immediately absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, and it can ensure that the spiritual energy in your body will not be exhausted for half a month."

Seeing the elixir, Xu Fu suddenly got the energy and strength to sit up from the ground, grabbed the white jade bottle containing the elixir, and knocked his head hard on the ground: "Thank you, Master, for the gift of the Peiling Pill!"

Xu Fu did not say much. Now that no one was competing with him for the master's care, there was no need to flatter him. Yang Ling always ignored these things. If he angered the master, it would be more trouble than gain.

After taking the pill, Xu Fu immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. Yang Ling casually made a seal and threw it at him.

When the seal fell, a spiritual power shield was formed, protecting Xu Fu inside.

Xu Fu did not realize that he had a spiritual power shield given by his master.

Here, you can't feel the pressure when the spiritual shield is on, and you can't feel it after stopping. It seems to be just to stop people from moving forward.

Xu Fu was not moving forward now. He felt no pressure on his body, and the feeling of having an extra layer of spiritual power shield was not obvious.

Yang Ling left a spiritual power shield and spiritual power mark on Xu Fu.

If anything happened to Xu Fu, he could teleport here immediately, so there was no need to worry about his safety.

Seeing Xu Fu completely immersed in the state of cultivation, Yang Ling left the place. Xu Fu sat here to absorb the spiritual energy, just as a mark for him. If they walked around and came back here, it would prove that they had been going in circles.

Yang Ling pulled out a line from the spiritual power mark and walked towards the direction where he had seen the figure before.

Wherever he goes, he leaves traces of his spiritual power.

If Xu Fu ended his training early, he could be found by following those traces; if he did not end it early, it would also be convenient for Yang Ling to use it as a reference.

He moved very quickly, taking routes that had never been taken before.

As the silk thread lengthened, Yang Ling's speed became faster and faster.

There were no more figures on the road, and nothing to attract his attention, so there was no need for him to stay for too long.

"Brother Taoist, I'm here, come here quickly."

Yang Ling paused, quickly channeled his spiritual power into his hands, and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

"Hehehe~ Taoist brother, why don't you recognize me? I am..."

The soft and boneless voice came from far away and approached, and in an instant it was close to Yang Ling's ear. He felt that someone was lying on him and talking.

This feeling made Yang Ling very uncomfortable. The spiritual power he had gathered long ago turned into a cold and sharp ice-blue long sword. He raised his hand and chopped it down behind him.

Although he had never attacked a woman or a demon, he had no need to show mercy to such an evil spirit. Therefore, Yang Ling used 60% of his strength in this sword.

Logically speaking, with Yang Ling's realm, a sword with 60% of its strength would be enough to split mountains and rivers. However, after he chopped it out, he couldn't even peel off the wall of the palace behind him.

Yang Ling's eyes flashed with surprise, and he thought to himself that he must take some wall skin with him when he left. The wall skin of this palace was so strong, it must be a good material for refining weapons when he returned.

The evil female seemed to have been chopped away by Yang Ling's sword, and did not appear again for a long time.

Until Yang Ling went around in a circle and returned to where he was.

"Miss, how old are you? Where do you live? Are you married? I am the only outer disciple of the Taoist master in the world. If you follow me, you will enjoy wealth and glory. Miss, what do you think..."

Xu Fu had almost absorbed all of the spiritual energy, but he stood there twisting his body like a madman, with a dazed look in his eyes.

Yang Ling stood there and watched for a while. Xu Fu seemed to be enjoying it very much, twisting his body into various weird shapes. He was even sure that Xu Fu could not make these shapes when he was awake.

Yang Ling took out a photo stone from his Qiankun ring and threw it next to Xu Fu.

Xu Fu was hit, but he didn't care about anything else and kicked it away.

The photo stone was not far from Xu Fu, so Yang Ling was too lazy to care about it.

He sat on the ground, released his spiritual power, and approached Xu Fu quietly.

"Miss, come home with me. Let's throw away the shackles of the secular world and enjoy our world together. Miss, are you interested in me..."

Xu Fu moved to the corner and kissed the wall at a speed that ordinary people could not react to.

Yang Ling showed a look of disgust on his face and immediately looked away, not wanting to look at the eye-catching scene.

Xu Fu ran to the palace wall, and Yang Ling's spiritual power naturally followed him.

As soon as he got closer, he felt a strong sense of oppression.

Yang Ling hadn't experienced this kind of feeling for a long time. After all, he was invincible in the world and no one could make him feel the slightest oppression.

The ancient palace walls carry the power of ancient times and the traces of people’s lives of that era, but these powers have not yet fully awakened and the traces are vague and difficult to distinguish.

Even if they are just unawakened powers, they are strong enough. If they are fully awakened, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, Yang Ling did not think that Xu Fu's disgusting behavior could awaken these ancient powers, so he did not awaken Xu Fu.

Xu Fu's character was weak, and he was easily deceived by illusions. He suffered such a fate because of his own actions. Yang Ling had no intention of helping him for the time being.

There was a strange smell coming from Xu Fu, which was neither fragrant nor smelly. Yang Ling could detect it as soon as his spiritual power came into contact with him.

Yang Ling had also smelled this strange smell when he was confused, but it was not as strong as the one on Xu Fu.

No one knew where this fragrance came from, and no matter how Xu Fu moved or what strange movements he made, he could not get rid of it.

"Miss, my master is right here. Don't worry, I will go and ask him to preside over our wedding..." (End of this chapter)
