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

If he had practiced diligently every day over the past twelve years, he should have reached the fourth level of the Human Realm and be stronger than Fusu.

But for some unknown reason, his realm stopped at the second level, and there is no sign of a breakthrough yet.

Xiang Yu remembered that it was Xu Fu and the master who led him into the path of cultivation, so he was always looking for opportunities to repay them.

Hearing that Xu Fu was the Qin State's imperial teacher, he hid his identity and waited at the gate of Xianyang Palace, waiting for Xu Fu to appear.

Fusu saw that he was there every day and was more sincere than anyone else, so he would chat with him every day when he passed by, and gradually they became familiar with each other.

Later, he was admitted to the Great Qin Temple and worshipped with the resources of the Great Qin. Xiang Yu had come to Xianyang City because of its cultivation resources, so he naturally would not refuse Fusu's kindness.

Xu Fu was casually carried on Heibingtai's shoulders and walked in front, so he was easily recognized. He was not treated as well as Yang Ling, who was carried in the sedan chair that Fusu was sitting in, and there were many people protecting him. Even if someone recognized him, they would not dare to step forward.

However, even if only Xu Fu was recognized, it would be troublesome. Fusu still stopped the team and explained: "Lord Xu Fu was drinking with his friends and accidentally drank too much. I will take him back to the palace to sober up. Master Xiang Yu does not need to worry!"

Xu Fu was also a symbol of the Qin Dynasty, so his background naturally could not be known to anyone. Even Xiang Yu and Fusu would not say much.

"Master Xu Fu went to drink right after he came out of seclusion?"

Hearing Fusu's explanation, Xiang Yu frowned slightly, as if he was confused about something: "Shouldn't he serve beside his master?"

Xiang Yu was not deceived by the rumors spread by the Qin State, because he had witnessed with his own eyes Yang Ling and Xu Fu leaving the Qin State and stepping into the depths of the Kunlun Mountains.

Xiang Yu practiced in Kunlun Mountain for many years, but he never saw the two men come out of the mountain. He once thought that they chose other ways to leave, so he also left Kunlun and went to the holy place of practice, Xianyang City.

After arriving in Xianyang, Xiang Yu confirmed that Yang Ling and Xu Fu had not shown up, and he stayed in Qin waiting for Xu Fu and the master to return, which was also the main reason why he had not left for many years.

When Fusu first learned about the existence of the master from Xiang Yu, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He had never expected that Xiang Yu knew so much inside information.

"Lord Xu Fu usually has only this one good thing. Perhaps the master has specially granted him free time to go out and relax." Fusu's face was calm, without showing any abnormality. He looked at Xiang Yu and smiled, "Master Yanyu, when Lord Xu Fu wakes up, I will tell you about it. At the moment, I need to take him back to sober up, so I can only go first..."

Fusu hadn't finished speaking, but Xiang Yu already understood his meaning.

"Please do as you please, Master Fusu. I don't want to waste your time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Yu stepped aside and asked them to go first.

Fusu smiled and nodded politely, then led Heibingtai and his group towards the depths of the Qin Palace.

When the sedan chair passed by Xiang Yu, his eyes were fixed on it, as if he could see through the curtain and see the person inside.

Yang Ling felt this gaze, and even though there was space between them, he met Xiang Yu's gaze.

Xiang Yu shuddered involuntarily, feeling a sense of guilt as if he was being spied on.

This feeling made Xiang Yu feel strange, but he became more certain that the person in the sedan was the master he met in Kunlun Mountain.

The person in the sedan has been observing Xiang Yu, but his focus is quite unique.

Yang Ling was surprised at Xiang Yu's growth rate. He was just a child when they last met, but now he was much taller than him.

Yang Ling secretly marveled at the extraordinary height of the ancients, and at the same time doubted whether his memory of his past life was wrong.

The Xiang Yu he met was not as brave and fearless as described in history books. Instead, he knew how to hide his edge and go deep behind enemy lines.

Times are changing, and history will naturally change with them.

The Qi training era has arrived, and people in the farming era are also gradually changing. However, Yang Ling is influenced by his education in his previous life, so it is difficult for him to accept the people of the new era.

There is a spirit gathering formation hidden in the Qin Palace, which was set up by Xu Fu when he left last time, and it has been in use until now.

Usually Ying Zheng practiced here. If he went out to handle state affairs, this formation would be used by Fusu.

However, such opportunities are rare. Nowadays, Ying Zheng rarely shows up, and Fusu has not had the opportunity to practice in this formation for a long time.

Yang Ling continued to receive the spiritual energy from Xu Fu on the way, and his body gradually recovered. However, the thunder tribulation consumed all his spiritual energy and damaged his soul, so he could not wake up for a while.

Although the level of the spirit gathering formation set up by Xu Fu is low, it is better than nothing.

Yang Ling was carried into the center of the formation, and his body began to absorb spiritual energy autonomously.

In an instant, the sky above the Qin Palace changed violently, and the spiritual energy within a hundred miles gathered around Yang Ling, forming a terrifying vortex, which rushed into his body frantically.

"The way the masters absorb spiritual energy is truly unique!" Ying Zheng said as he stood at the bottom of the stairs, staring at Yang Ling in the formation with wide eyes.

"Father, let's stay away from him!" Fusu couldn't help but remind him as he looked at the astonishing scene on the spirit gathering formation.

"Okay..." It was also the first time that Ying Zheng saw someone absorbing spiritual energy in this way. He took two steps back and ordered the eunuchs in the hall to carry Xu Fu away.

With the way Yang Ling absorbed spiritual energy, no one inside could get any spiritual energy.

Moreover, they were worried that Xu Fu would affect the master's recovery, so they took him away without hesitation.

Xu Fu may not know what Ying Zheng is thinking, but even if he knew, he would not say much. After all, he also hopes that Yang Ling can recover as soon as possible.

Yang Ling did not notice that they took Xu Fu with them when they left.

When he almost recovered and opened his eyes, the hall was empty.

Yang Ling stood up with the help of the table, his steps were a little unsteady. He felt unbearable pain all over his body, but he still decided to leave.

The dragon veins in the Qin Palace are suitable for nourishing qi, but what Yang Ling needs most now is nourishing qi. His meridians were already broken, and the thunder tribulation made things even worse. The spiritual energy entering the body is like being tortured in hell. If the dragon energy enters the body again, the meridians may never be repaired.

The newly absorbed spiritual energy was quickly compressed into Yang Ling's sea of ​​consciousness. He only needed to use the spiritual energy to restore the connection between his consciousness and his body. Any more would be unbearable. "Bang...crash..." Yang Ling accidentally knocked over a candlestick, instantly bringing down a series of neatly arranged candlesticks. The noise was as loud as an earthquake, and it could be heard even outside.

Ying Zheng and Fusu, who were guarding outside the palace, heard the sound and pushed the door open almost instantly. They saw Yang Ling standing next to the first candlestick, his body slightly tilted, as if he would fall at any time.

Ying Zheng and Fusu looked at each other, both showing worry. Then they walked to Yang Ling at the same time, supporting him on the left and right.

"Master, please tell us if you need anything and we will do it immediately. You are weak now, so there is no need to do it yourself." There was no imperial airs in Ying Zheng's words, but rather, he sounded more like a student in front of his teacher.

In fact, in front of Yang Ling, Ying Zheng could only be regarded as a student, and a student who had not been formally accepted. His behavior was not surprising.

"Send me back and let Xu Fu come in to recover." Yang Ling said, holding Fusu's hand.

He really needs external help now, he can't leave quickly by himself.

"Yes, Master, I will take you back right away." Hearing Yang Ling's order, Fusu seemed to have received a rare opportunity, with excitement flashing in his eyes. He immediately walked in front of Yang Ling and prepared to carry him on his back.

He knew that Xu Fu once carried Yang Ling from outside the city to inside the city, and at that time he was somewhat envious of Xu Fu for being so close to the master. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally did not want to miss it.

However, Yang Ling did not give him this opportunity. Seeing Fusu bending down, Yang Ling pushed him away and said, "Take the sedan chair."

Even if Fusu had achieved success in his training, he couldn't move faster than the sedan with an extra person on his back. Yang Ling didn't want to waste time on the road, he had to go back as soon as possible to check on the Moon Jade.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Fusu's eyes, but he soon returned to normal. He ordered the people at the Black Ice Terrace to prepare a sedan chair to send Yang Ling back.

The duty of the Black Ice Platform was to protect the safety of the First Emperor and Prince Fusu. Since both of them were here, they would not be too far away. After hearing Fusu's order, someone soon came over with a sedan chair.

Xu Fu was sent to the spirit gathering formation according to Yang Ling's instructions, and Yang Ling's sedan chair quickly left the Qin Palace. As soon as he left the palace, Fusu felt that someone was following behind the team.

He asked Heibingtai to protect the sedan in the middle, while he himself fell to the end of the team, waiting for the tracker to reveal his flaw.

However, they walked all the way to the gate of Yang Ling's villa, and the pursuers did not show up. Fusu could not help but feel a little worried. He ordered the people of Heibingtai to strengthen the guard force and not let anyone approach the villa.

The stalker behind the sedan was not far away, watching from across the street. He had no ill intentions, he just wanted to see where Yang Ling lived.

Fusu's realm was not high enough to detect the existence of the pursuer. But Yang Ling was different. He knew Xiang Yu was following him. However, he knew that Xiang Yu had no ill will towards him, so he did not tell Fusu to get rid of him.

After returning to the courtyard, Yang Ling did not invite Fusu to come in and sit down. Fusu himself was too embarrassed to ask, so he took people to guard outside to protect Yang Ling's safety.

After Yang Ling returned to the courtyard, he locked himself in the room and urged his consciousness to guide the spiritual power into the jade to help the spirit recover quickly. After surviving the thunder tribulation, Yang Ling found that he could use the power of the jade. Although it was weak, it was enough to open the jade and send the spiritual power into it to help the spirit wake up.

Outside the house, Fusu's nervous behavior made Xiang Yu, who followed him, more convinced that the Black Ice Terrace was surrounded by the master's residence. Xiang Yu's main purpose of coming to Qin was to find the master and Xu Fu. Now that he had found the master, he didn't even want to know where Xu Fu went, so he was much more patient than Fusu.

Xiang Yu did not show any intention to leave, so Fusu stood guard at the door. The deadlock was not broken until half a month later when Yang Ling opened the door. Yang Ling's move was not out of his unwillingness to see Xiang Yu and Fusu confront each other, but because he needed to go with Xu Fu to pick spiritual herbs. This was the itinerary he set two days ago after Xu Fu told him that he had found many spiritual plants but could not pick them.

Xu Fu retreated in the spirit gathering array for three days before he recovered a little. His meridians were damaged due to excessive use of spiritual power.

As soon as the spiritual energy was absorbed, it was either transmitted or used to fly, causing the meridians to be overwhelmed. However, with the help of Yang Ling, Xu Fu's meridians were quickly repaired.

As the spirit of the Jade Jue had not yet awakened, Yang Ling was at a loss as to what to do, so he ordered Xu Fu to find plants with their own spiritual energy and plant them in the Jade Jue space, hoping to stimulate their self-generated spiritual energy and thus awaken the spirit of the instrument.

However, this type of plant is extremely rare and mostly grows in remote areas such as the Kunlun Mountains, so Xu Fu had difficulty finding it.

After half a month of trekking through mountains and rivers, Xu Fu finally found a small area of ​​spiritual plants on the border of Qin State, and then rushed back to inform Yang Ling. Although Xu Fu had heard about the confrontation between Xiang Yu and Fusu, he did not say much when Yang Ling did not mention it.

Seeing Yang Ling opening the door, Xu Fu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Master, how are you!" Yang Ling raised his hand slightly, motioned Xu Fu to stand up, and ordered: "Call the person opposite and go together." Xu Fu responded and immediately pulled out Yan Yu from the dark, which shocked Fusu, but no one could explain his confusion to him.

Xiang Yu was also shocked that his whereabouts were exposed, and Xu Fu easily took him out.

Xiang Yu apologized to Yang Ling in panic, saying that he had no ill intentions and was just looking for an opportunity to repay him.

Yang Ling calmly said that he brought him along to seek help and there was no need to worry.

Yang Ling's meridians have not yet fully recovered. Although Xu Fu has recovered, his spiritual power is still limited, so he needs help picking and transporting spiritual medicine. Although Fusu is a better choice, Yang Ling does not want to get too entangled with Fusu and Ying Zheng, so he chooses Xiang Yu.

When Xiang Yu heard what Yang Ling said, he was very excited and expressed his willingness to work for Yang Ling.

Yang Ling didn't say much, as his relationship with Xiang Yu had just begun.

Before arriving at Kunlun Mountain, Yang Ling gave Xiang Yu a chance, but unexpectedly Xiang Yu actually practiced hard and came to the capital of Qin to find him.

Now that they have met, it means that their destiny is not over yet. Yang Ling wants to explore why the heavens are guiding them together and what is waiting for them ahead.

There is a magical medicine garden in the easternmost part of Qin State, where magical herbs are lush, but they seem to be planted by humans.

Yang Ling questioned how Xu Fu discovered this place, but Xu Fu firmly believed that this place was remote and inaccessible, and the fence wall might have been formed naturally.

However, when Xu Fu tried to pick them, he was blown away and dark blue lines appeared on his palms, which seemed to be a sign of poisoning.

Yang Ling quickly detoxified Xu Fu and told him that these elixirs all had owners and contained poison on their bodies. Once they left the soil, the poison would quickly spread throughout the body. Xu Fu was ashamed, as he had never expected this to happen.

Just as the three were about to leave, a pleasant voice was heard, as quiet and gentle as a blooming spring flower.

Turning around, I saw a farm girl dressed simply. Although she had no fancy clothes, she had an extraordinary temperament, just like the Queen Mother of the West.

Yang Ling nodded to the girl, who showed a hint of surprise in her eyes and then invited them to follow him.

Although Xu Fu and Xiang Yu had not yet greeted each other, they were relieved to see that the girl was only paying attention to Yang Ling.

Following the girl to her residence, it was a seemingly ordinary thatched house, but the interior was a different world.

There was only one set of bed and chairs in the room, and it was obvious that the girl lived alone and rarely had visitors. (End of this chapter)
