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

Xu Fu, who was lying on the palace wall, gradually calmed down, a hint of shyness appeared on his face, and then he suddenly turned around and looked at Yang Ling.

"How could the progress be so fast?"

Feeling Xu Fu's gaze, Yang Ling couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Master, you are back! It's just right, let me introduce you to a young lady, she and I..."

Xu Fu seemed to have really seen Yang Ling. His face was filled with joy and respect, and he ran towards him quickly.

Yang Ling had not yet figured out what had bewitched them, and naturally did not want Xu Fu to disturb him, so he casually made a puppet gesture and threw it at Xu Fu.

The puppet technique transformed into an illusory Yang Ling, who stood in front of Xu Fu. Xu Fu was in no state at the moment to tell the real from the fake. When he saw "Yang Ling" stand up, he knelt down, saluted respectfully, and then took "Yang Ling" to see the wife he was looking for.

Yang Ling couldn't help but frown as he watched Xu Fu's emotions sinking deeper and deeper.

Although Xu Fu's strength was not as good as his, he had also entered the third realm of the human world. Logically, he should not have been unable to wake up for a long time.

However, common sense does not include inner demons.

If getting married and having children is Xu Fu's inner demon, then he will find it difficult to get over it even in a few years, let alone now.

Seeing that Xu Fu had entered the wedding ceremony, Yang Ling stood up helplessly, turned his wrist, and used a magic spell to hit Xu Fu.

The spiritual spell fell on Xu Fu, and a Heart Purifying Mantra suddenly exploded in his mind, and the sound of the Heart Purifying Mantra kept echoing in his ears.

The stunningly beautiful woman in front of Xu Fu's eyes was replaced by the rune of the Purifying Heart Mantra, and the soft gasps in his ears were also replaced by the sound of the Purifying Heart Mantra.

When Xu Fu regained his clarity of vision, he discovered that everything before was an illusion. In the illusion, he met a woman and forced her to marry him.

"Master, when did you come back?"

Xu Fu's face was filled with shame and he tried to change the subject to ease the embarrassment.

After not getting a response for a long time, Xu Fu couldn't help but feel strange. He looked up at Yang Ling, but saw that his upper body looked like a real body, but his lower body was virtual, obviously not the real body.

Xu Fu was startled, and thinking back to his ridiculous behavior just now, he cried out in regret: "Master, why did you only leave me with a virtual body! I was just confused just now, I am not that kind of person, please don't abandon me, I know I was wrong! Master..."

Xu Fu's voice was not pleasant, and could even be said to be a little harsh. It was fine when he spoke normally, but at this moment he was shouting like a funeral, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"I'm not dead yet, why are you howling like a ghost?"

Yang Ling really couldn't stand Xu Fu's shouting and responded impatiently.

However, even just such an dissatisfied response made Xu Fu feel relieved and smiled.

"Master, it's great that you didn't abandon me..."

Xu Fu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yang Ling's real body sitting not far away. He immediately crawled over, and with the tears still on his face, he smiled and said sincerely: "Master, you are so good to me!"

At this moment, a huge comfort enveloped his whole body, making Xu Fu feel that being with Yang Ling was the safest place in the world, and the only person who could treat him well was his master.

Yang Ling had heard similar words from Xu Fu so many times that his ears were numb. Whether they were sincere or false was not important to him.

"There's a photo stone over there. I'll give it to you."

Yang Ling raised his hand, pointed in a certain direction, and said with a smile.

Yang Ling didn't care whether Xu Fu's words were true or false, but he was very curious about how Xu Fu would react when he saw what he had done after being deceived.

"Given to me?"

Hearing Yang Ling's words, Xu Fu was obviously stunned.

This was the first time he received a gift after becoming Yang Ling's disciple. No wonder he couldn't react.

Yang Ling nodded slightly and said nothing more. The more he spoke, the less surprised Xu Fu would be.

"Thank you, Master. You are so kind to me. I will definitely repay you in the future, even if it means going through fire and water..."

Seeing Yang Ling nod, Xu Fu became even more excited and kowtowed to show his loyalty.

"Take a look at what's inside first."

Yang Ling didn't want to listen to Xu Fu's nonsense, so he raised his hand and helped him up.

"Yes, I'll go and see it right away."

Xu Fu was so excited that he forgot to pay attention to the contents of the photo stone for a moment.

Hearing Yang Ling's urging, he immediately walked to the palace wall and picked up the photo stone, but he didn't know how to use it. After picking it up, he couldn't help but look at Yang Ling with a helpless look.

"Just inject your spiritual power into it."

Yang Ling saw through Xu Fu's thoughts at a glance and responded calmly.

Xu Fu did not waste any time and immediately injected his spiritual power into the photo stone. The image in the photo stone quickly appeared and came into Xu Fu's eyes.

Looking at the disgusting pictures on the photo stone and the sweet words coming to his ears, Xu Fu's face became redder and redder. He felt embarrassed and annoyed, but he did not dare to show it.

When he just woke up, he felt that he was shameful enough, but he didn't expect that he had done something even more shameful before that.

After the image stone finished playing the picture, Xu Fu did not move, so it started playing the picture from the beginning in a loop. Xu Fu was so scared that he immediately withdrew his spiritual power.

Without the supply of spiritual power, the photo stone could no longer be used, and the previous image disappeared.

"Master, I...I..."

Xu Fu opened his mouth, but he stammered and couldn't say a word.

"I didn't expect you to have a love affair."

Yang Ling looked up and said with a faint smile.

"No, Master. I don't want to get married and have children. The things in this illusion are not what I pursue. Master, please believe me."

Hearing Yang Ling's words, Xu Fu immediately knelt down and shook his head to deny it.

He looked serious and spoke in a solemn tone, and he didn't sound like he was lying, but illusions were about trapping the person using something that they lacked or desperately desired in their hearts.

If Xu Fu really didn't want these, he would have walked out of the illusion long ago and wouldn't have to wait until Yang Ling took action.

Yang Ling's face showed a clear look of disbelief, which made Xu Fu even more panicked. He took two steps on his knees and stopped in front of Yang Ling. He said seriously: "I can swear, I swear by the opportunity to follow my master."

This matter was extremely important to Xu Fu. He had finally gotten the opportunity to follow Yang Ling, so he naturally didn't dare to joke about it. Yang Ling was well aware of this.

Since they have sworn to follow him, what Xu Fu said cannot be false.

"If what you desire most is not to marry and have children, then this illusion is interesting."

Yang Ling looked up at the sky cut out by the palace wall, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The illusion here is different from that in other places. It is not the inner demon that can trap Xu Fu for such a long time. If the inner demon is found, it will not take long for the illusion to completely stay here.

"Master, be careful!"

Before Yang Ling could look away, he heard Xu Fu's voice and stood up subconsciously.

"boom!"

Xu Fu's spiritual power burst out from his palm and collided with an unknown object flying from a distance. The object was knocked away and fell straight to the ground, making a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Seeing the things on the ground, Yang Ling frowned, feeling a little horrified. Something was attacking him from behind, but he didn't even notice it.

The weirdness of this place was far beyond their imagination!

The heavy object that was knocked flying by Xu Fu was two meters long. After it fell to the ground, it lay motionless, like a dead object.

"Master, such a big thing flew over here, didn't you feel anything just now?"

Xu Fu turned his head and stared at Yang Ling, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Xu Fu knew Yang Ling's strength very well. Whether in terms of reaction speed or strength, Yang Ling was far superior to them. Xu Fu was confident that he could detect such a huge object flying over just now, but Yang Ling, who was much stronger than him, had no reaction, which made Xu Fu curious.

"I didn't feel anything." Facing Xu Fu's question, Yang Ling shook his head slightly and answered frankly.

He doesn't need to hide it. If he doesn't feel anything, then he doesn't feel anything. There's no need to make excuses.

"Master, we must be more vigilant." Xu Fu looked worried and could not help but remind Yang Ling, "If a stronger attacker comes next time, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist."

"We do need to be more vigilant." Yang Ling nodded in agreement.

The weirdness here was beyond imagination. He stood up and quickly carved a seal on his back. Once this seal sensed anything unusual, it would be triggered immediately, reminding him to be prepared.

"Master, let me go and see what's wrapped in that black cloth." Xu Fu said, and wanted to get closer to the black cloth.

"Don't go over there!" Yang Ling stopped him, snapped his fingers, and a stream of energy shot out, directly turning the human-shaped black cloth over.

Then, he quickly changed his seals and a fire gathering seal fell on the black cloth.

The black cloth was instantly burned to ashes, but the things wrapped inside remained intact, which showed Yang Ling's precise control over spiritual power.

After the black cloth disappeared, a two-meter-tall strong man appeared before his eyes. He was stiff and lying straight on the ground, motionless, as if he had been dead for many days.

"Master, is this man still alive?" Xu Fu asked curiously.

"He's dead." Yang Ling shook his head slightly.

"For a corpse like this, with its skin and flesh not rotted yet, it must have died not long ago, right?" Xu Fu asked uncertainly.

He used to be a fake alchemist who made a living by cheating people for food and drink, and he had neither interest in nor understanding of these things.

After following Yang Ling, he began to practice diligently, hoping to improve his strength and realm, and had no time to pay attention to other things.

Therefore, when faced with such a situation, he could only seek help from his master.

"If it were in the outside world, such a corpse would not have been dead for more than seven days. But here, no one can say for sure." Yang Ling glanced at the man's body and shook his head slightly.

This place is so weird that nothing can be judged by common sense.

"Master, it's too scary here. How about we leave first?" After experiencing the previous sneak attack, Xu Fu is still frightened.

"Two guests who have come from afar, are you leaving without coming in and sitting down? Do you look down on us?" Before Yang Ling could answer, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded.

The sound seemed to come from all directions, and each word appeared in a different position.

"Who is it?" Yang Ling condensed his spiritual power into a long sword, blocking in front of him, and asked with a frown.

The one who could appear here was definitely not an ordinary person. Based on their previous strange encounters, the person who spoke was most likely a powerful being from ancient times.

Even Yang Ling did not dare to relax at all. He clenched the sword in his hand and kept observing every corner of the palace complex with his consciousness, fearing that someone would attack again.

Xu Fu didn't know how he could help, so he could only stand back to back and guard Yang Ling against possible attackers from behind. With Xu Fu behind him, Yang Ling felt more at ease, but he remained vigilant.

"Since you are here, just stay!" The ethereal voice sounded again, eerie and terrifying.

Before he finished speaking, Yang Ling discovered that the palaces around him began to move, quickly forming an encirclement that trapped the two of them.

Before the two could react, the palace complex had already blocked the entrance and exit.

After ensuring that they could not escape, the outer palace complex began to change again.

Yang Ling frowned, he could feel the power of the formation rapidly building up. This formation was undoubtedly aimed at them.

"Be alert, we have entered the formation!" Yang Ling turned his head slightly and reminded Xu Fu behind him.

The palace complex began to move and arrange formations around the two of them.

The result is self-evident, the two of them are at the center of the formation.

Although it is not clear what formation we have fallen into, since we are already in the center of the formation, it is still necessary to be on guard.

"Yes, Master!" Xu Fu nodded in response.

The outer palace complex moved very quickly, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

They all know where they should be and when they need to move, they can move quickly to a new position.

Yang Ling was worried that Xu Fu would really die here, so he left a spiritual power mark outside his body in advance, adding an invisible layer of protection for Xu Fu.

This layer of protection is stronger than the protective measures Xu Fu took himself, but he was unaware of it and continued to devour the treasures he collected from the human world.

When the outer palaces stopped moving, the formation had already been set up. Now the outer palaces almost stopped moving.

Yang Ling instantly felt the invisible pressure sweeping over him, directly breaking through his spiritual power shield and trying to force him to his knees on the ground.

However, Yang Ling never gave in. Even after traveling back to ancient times and growing up in a feudal dynasty, his thoughts did not change.

He has always been far away from the secular world, and has not been tainted by the red tape of the outside world. Even the current world leader Ying Zheng is respectful in front of him. Who in the world can suppress him and force him to kneel?
"Do you think you can make me surrender with this little trick?" Yang Ling inserted his sword diagonally into the ground, using the force to support his body. His back was straight and his knees did not bend at all.

His neither humble nor arrogant appearance made Xu Fu, who was lying next to him, feel a little ashamed, so he also struggled to get up from the ground.

However, Xu Fu was not a person like Yang Ling after all. He was different in strength, character, and personality. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't hold on.

"Arrogant boy, do you know what the final fate of those who would rather break than bend is?" The ethereal voice was full of sarcasm, as if looking at an ant that was still fighting like a trapped beast when it was about to die.

"So what if you know? So what if you don't know?" Yang Ling asked with a cold snort. (End of this chapter)
