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

Fewer and fewer worshippers came, not because they were scared by the beatings, but because those who were supposed to come had come, and those who couldn't come would never come again.

It was the first time they witnessed Xu Fu's strength and they were so shocked that they were speechless. They were considered to be defeated.

But some people refused to admit defeat and had already begun absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy in preparation for another attack.

After Xu Fu collected all the offerings, he sat down and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, preparing to recover his strength as soon as possible so that he could help Yang Ling.

However, when he began to absorb spiritual energy, he discovered that the spiritual energy in the air in this place, which was originally full of spiritual energy, was so thin that it seemed as if there was none.

Moreover, the little remaining spiritual energy was gathering towards the direction of East Desert Mountain, with no intention of stopping.

Not only Xu Fu discovered this, but other priests and the defenders of Donghuangshan also noticed it.

They all looked up at the sky above the ruins of East Wasteland Mountain at the same time, and saw a vortex of spiritual energy dozens of feet wide. The spiritual energy was pouring into the ground at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

They were too far away to see, but in fact, all the spiritual energy entered Yang Ling's body.

Inside the barrier of East Desert Mountain, beside the sacrificial array of Lord Shiva, Rong'er, Xiang Yu and Fusu were all stunned.

Fusu had seen Yang Ling absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before, but the shock he felt then was far less than what he felt now.

It was the first time for Xiang Yu and Rong'er to witness such a scene. Xiang Yu usually did not consume much spiritual energy around his body when absorbing it, and his spiritual energy was replenished not long after he absorbed it.

Although Rong'er was talented, she was unable to cause any strange phenomena. On the other hand, the strange phenomena caused by Yang Ling were astonishing. The way he absorbed spiritual energy was not like ordinary absorption. It was more like the spiritual energy was actively coming to him and was eager to flow into his body.

If the spiritual energy absorption of an ordinary gifted person is compared to a trickle of water, then Yang Ling's absorption is like rivers flowing into the sea. His cultivation has already opened up a huge gap with everyone else in this world.

Yang Ling himself did not care about all this. Instead, he disliked the narrowness of his meridians and the slow speed of absorbing spiritual energy. If he encountered danger again in the secret realm of Kunlun Mountain, this speed might not be enough to meet his needs.

Now, his meridians have been reshaped and not only have they been widened several times, but his sea of ​​consciousness that stores spiritual energy has also expanded. He will no longer have to worry about this in the future.

However, Yang Ling was not satisfied with this. He still believed that the wider the meridians, the better, and the larger the sea of ​​consciousness, the better.

Only he himself knew this thought, otherwise, if others heard it, he would definitely be scolded.

The strange phenomenon caused by Yang Ling in Donghuang Mountain made the Qin Palace priests in the outside world believe that a treasure was about to be unveiled in Donghuang Mountain.

"If I don't go in now, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch even a hair! I have to go in now..."

Someone shouted loudly, and the originally listless team of worshippers suddenly became excited and rushed towards the barrier of East Desert Mountain, each ready to force their way through.

Heibingtai wanted to step forward to stop them, but Xu Fu stopped him with his hand.

Only Yang Ling could trigger the phenomenon of absorbing spiritual energy just now.

Since Yang Ling has begun to absorb spiritual energy, it proves that his meridians have been repaired. If these people force their way in, their fate may not be better than staying outside.

Xu Fu did not take ruthless action because he did not want to cause trouble for Yang Ling. However, if these people really went in and met Yang Ling, it would not be just a simple trouble.

"Write down the names of these worshippers and report them to His Majesty without missing a single one when you return!" the commander of East Wasteland Mountain ordered the soldiers.

"Yes, General!" The soldier took the order and immediately went down to record it.

Xu Fu flew through the air, always one step ahead of others, but stopped in front of the barrier. He couldn't break through the barrier, and naturally those people couldn't break through it either.

But judging from the situation just now, Yang Ling should come out soon, so these people can just wait here to be dealt with.

Xu Fu just came to watch the show and had no other purpose.

After Yang Ling absorbed the spiritual energy, the strange phenomenon in the sky also dissipated.

He slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the boulder. Rong'er sensed the movement outside the barrier and immediately informed Yang Ling of the incident.

"Don't worry about it, let's solve the problem of the sacrificial formation first!" Yang Ling knew the identity of the outsider very well. With Xu Fu here, there would be no big chaos. Their first priority now was to solve the problem of the blood rain.

After hearing what Yang Ling said, the others felt relieved and followed him towards the direction of the sacrificial formation.

Yang Ling gathered the spiritual power in his body and gathered it in his palm, forming a spiritual power ball half a person's height. In his other hand, he gathered the power of Yu Jue, which was full of destructive power.

"Stand back!" Yang Ling stared at the location of the sacrificial formation and ordered.

"Yes, sir!" Rong'er responded and immediately retreated. Although the other two did not say anything, they did not dare to disobey and retreated faster than Rong'er.

After confirming that the three had retreated to a safe location, Yang Ling threw the spiritual power ball in his hand out.

This ball of light contained all of his strength, and had the power to shake the heavens and the earth. It hit the sacrificial formation of Lord Shiva, and instantly exploded with powerful force.

The bones and ruins of East Wasteland Mountain piled on the sacrificial formation were blown away, and the ground sank hundreds of feet deep and continued to collapse. However, the sacrificial formation was hidden too deep, and the power of the spiritual light ball could only break the soil, but could not continue to penetrate and destroy the sacrificial formation.

At this moment, an old lady wearing a blood-red cloak far away in the South China Sea suddenly shuddered and looked towards the Qin State. But she was not substantially affected.

After a while, when she retracted her gaze and was about to continue her work, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood energy in her body quickly weakened.

On the ruins of East Wasteland Mountain, Yang Ling took back the power of the jade pendant and sealed off the destruction of the sacrificial formation within a radius of ten miles.

This was the smallest range, and apart from causing the ruins of East Wasteland Mountain to be impacted again, no other damage was caused.

It is worth mentioning that along with the ruins, the group of worshippers in the Qin Palace were also knocked away.

Xu Fu was also knocked away, but his cultivation was much higher than that of the group of worshippers. He quickly got up from the ground and ran inside.

The Qin Palace servants who were still groaning on the ground saw Xu Fu's appearance and thought that there was some amazing treasure inside. They didn't care about the pain in their bodies and stood up and ran into the depths of the ruins of East Desert Mountain.

They stopped not far away because they saw Xu Fu stopped in front of them, and there were several people with extraordinary temperament standing beside Xu Fu. Xu Fu was very attentive to one of them. They had never seen the first person in Daqin be so respectful and flattering to anyone.

Yang Ling was just worried that no one would deal with the underground blood river from Donghuang Mountain to Xianyang City. When he saw Xu Fu and the group of Qin Palace priests running over in a panic, he waved and said, "You've come at the right time. Take them and deal with the blood here!"

"Yes, Master!" Xu Fu nodded and agreed without thinking.

When he reacted, he realized that the blood Yang Ling asked him to deal with was the blood river they found on the East Wasteland Mountain last time—the blood river that had rotted and smelled. Xu Fu instinctively felt a little disgusted, but this was Yang Ling's order, and he dared not be disloyal.

So he stopped those Qin Palace priests who were about to approach.

"Everyone, it takes a thousand days to raise an army and only a moment to deploy it. His Majesty the First Emperor has raised you for such a long time, it is time for you to do something for the people of the world!" Xu Fu had been mingling with important figures for many years, so he could come up with such high-sounding words with ease.

Before everyone understood what was going on, Fusu also came out and responded, "Lord Xu Fu is right. Over the past decade, my father and the Qin Dynasty have taken great care of you. Now it's time for you to serve the elders and do things for the people!"

"Prince Fusu, Lord Xu Fu, what task do you want to give us? Just tell us directly. We are definitely not ungrateful people!" The leader of the Qin Palace offering team responded righteously.

Xu Fu and Fusu looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

This is the response they both wanted.

The words came from the mouths of these Qin Palace priests themselves. If they regretted what they said, they would have no use as human beings.

"All of you seniors have experienced the bloody rain incident in Xianyang City, and you must be very clear about the harm of bloody rain. Now there is a master who has helped our Great Qin to eradicate the bloody rain, and this kind of thing will never happen again!" Fusu put his hands behind his back and looked at the group of Qin Palace worshippers and said with a smile, "But the master has helped us too much, and we can't trouble him with the rest. I also ask all of you seniors to clean up the blood in this blood river!"

After laying the groundwork for a long time, Fusu finally got to the point.

The Qin Palace priests followed the direction of his finger and saw the blood channel that they had dug together not long ago.

They knew it when the blood channel was first dug.

The blood inside was smelly and disgusting, and no one wanted to touch it a second time.

Now Fusu actually wanted them to clean up the blood in the blood channel, but naturally no one was willing to do so.

But then again, they had just promised it themselves, saying that the Qin had supported them for decades, and no one was ungrateful.

Now they are unwilling to help with even a small matter like cleaning up the blood. If this gets out, their reputation will be completely ruined.

"Master Xu Fu, Master Fusu, is the blood in this blood channel formed by the accumulation of blood rain?" Someone in the Qin Palace's offering team raised a question, "If it is formed by the accumulation of blood rain, wouldn't we be sending ourselves to death if we touch it?"

"Don't worry, senior. The blood here is not bloody rain!" Fusu knew that someone would ask this question.

In order to prove that the two were indeed different, he walked directly to the blood channel, scooped up the water in it and walked towards the worshippers.

The water from the blood channel was indeed smelly and fishy, ​​but it was definitely not blood rain. The fact that Fusu was not burned was the best proof.

"It seems that there is no problem, so let's help with this!" There were still some people in the Qin State's offering team who could not bear to take the Qin State's salary for nothing, so they took the lead and walked towards the blood channel to clean up the blood.

After watching the Qin tribute team pass by, Fusu turned and walked towards Yang Ling, saying respectfully: "Master, please forgive me for not being able to send you back. Fusu is the crown prince of the Qin State. If I cannot stay, some people will definitely feel resentful..."

"It's really hard work."

Yang Ling gently raised his hand and patted Fusu's shoulder, his voice calm and deep.

He was well aware of the ways in which the kings manipulated people's hearts, but he had no intention of intervening. After all, Fusu's presence in the team did not have much impact.

Xu Fu was originally worried that Yang Ling would let him stay to intimidate everyone, but when he saw Fusu take the initiative to step forward, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quietly walked behind Yang Ling.

After everyone left, the priests who were cleaning the blood channel began to discuss Yang Ling's identity.

"Could he be the master who has been supporting us behind the scenes?"

In the Qin Empire, Yang Ling's reputation may not be as loud as Xu Fu's, but in the cultivation world, he is quite famous. Especially those who have some cultivation, more or less have heard that there is a master behind Xu Fu, who has helped the Qin Empire many times.

However, these rumors were actually spread deliberately by the two leaders of Qin State. Yang Ling only made some deals with them and did not really stand on their side.

After leaving Donghuang Mountain, Yang Ling returned to his own house. Ying Zheng had arrived in advance. Recently, the remnants of the six kingdoms were ready to make a move, and the capital of Qin was not safe.

Yang Ling was a little surprised to see Ying Zheng appear in his own house, but he quickly guessed the purpose of Ying Zheng's visit, but he did not take the initiative to speak.

Ying Zheng's patience has always been limited. Since he came with a purpose, he naturally would not waste time.

"Master, some of the Qin Palace's priests saw your heroic appearance in East Desert Mountain and mistakenly thought that a treasure had been discovered, so they came to disturb you. I have learned about this matter and will punish them severely!"

Although Ying Zheng was anxious, he was embarrassed to be too direct in front of the master, so he found an excuse as a prelude.

Yang Ling picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then looked up at Ying Zheng and replied calmly, "Just handle it yourself."

Those worshippers were all Ying Zheng's people, so he had the final say on how to deal with them. Yang Ling didn't want to interfere in their affairs. If the bloody rain had not been related to him, he wouldn't even bother to go to the Blood Channel and East Desert Mountain.

"Yes, Master..."

Ying Zheng paused here, looked up at Yang Ling, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Ying Zheng had anticipated Yang Ling's reaction. They were used to the fact that masters were as unattainable as gods. But this did not stop him from revealing his true purpose.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

Yang Ling put down the teacup and urged.

Yang Ling knew Ying Zheng's purpose today. He needed an introduction to start the conversation, and Yang Ling didn't mind giving it.

"Master, the guard of Kunlun Mountain has reported that a paradise has been discovered there recently, and it seems to contain many opportunities. Do you have time to go and take a look?"

Ying Zheng laid the groundwork for a long time, and finally revealed his real purpose. He looked up at Yang Ling and asked tentatively.

Yang Ling knew that he was using the Qin Palace's offering to enter the East Wasteland Mountain to mention the Kunlun Mountain Secret Realm. He did not show any surprise, but simply responded calmly: "I am not free recently, you can go find your own opportunities."

After saying this, he waved his hand, a nonchalant look on his face, and his words already showed his intention to drive the guest away.

When Rong'er heard what he said, she immediately stepped forward and looked at Ying Zheng coldly. She said nothing, and did not give Ying Zheng a chance to speak. She just made a "please" gesture and wanted to send him out. (End of this chapter)
