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

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said to Rong'er: "Regarding the Western Region you mentioned, I have never heard of it."

"But I think as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke us, there's no need for us to be too nervous and act as if there are enemies everywhere."

When Rong'er heard Yang Ling's words, she was stunned for a moment.

She originally thought that after Yang Ling learned about the outside world, he would be eager to explore it.

After all, the Western Outer Realm has a completely different cultivation system, and such an unknown place must contain countless opportunities.

For a cultivator like Yang Ling, this temptation is almost irresistible.

She even believed that any strong person would be yearning for it upon hearing such news.

However, Rong'er found that Yang Ling knew nothing about the Western Regions, which made her at a loss for a moment. She also didn't know how to describe the situation in the Western Regions to Yang Ling.

Just then, the sound of footsteps broke the silence between the two.

Rong'er looked up and saw a group of people slowly approaching. They were dressed in ancient costumes, with a fiery red lotus embroidered on their chests, and each of them wore a gold coin-shaped badge on their chests.

They were big and strong, with fierce looks on their faces, and it was obvious that they were not good people. Behind them, there were more than a dozen huge carriages.

Seeing this scene, a gleam of light flashed in Rong'er's eyes.

When those people came closer, Rong'er's pupils suddenly shrank.

Because she saw a young woman lying in the middle of the carriage, her eyes closed and a faint medicinal fragrance emanating from her body.

The scent of this medicine made Yang Ling feel inexplicably close to it.

At the same time, the leader was also looking at Yang Ling.

After a moment, those people bowed and said, "Greetings to the High Priest."

"Well, there's no need to be so polite, everyone." Rong'er responded indifferently.

At this time, the young woman lying in the middle of the carriage slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Yang Ling and a clear voice rang out: "Are you the distinguished guest that the high priest mentioned?"

Yang Ling was attracted by the woman's eyes. Those eyes were like the deep ocean, as if they could suck people in.

Fortunately, his mind was stable and he did not get lost in the woman's eyes.

Seeing that Yang Ling was not bewitched by her, the woman couldn't help but laugh: "Little guy, what's your name?"

"My name is Yang Ling." Yang Ling did not hide anything and answered the woman's question directly.

"Oh, that's a good name, and your strength is not bad either." The woman said, and then looked at Rong'er, "Since you have brought the distinguished guest here, you can leave first."

"Sister Lingyue, Master Yang and I still have something to discuss." Rong'er frowned when she heard that.

"Rong'er, since you have a distinguished guest, it would be more appropriate for me to entertain you." Lingyue looked at Rong'er with unquestionable majesty in her tone.

Rong'er had no choice but to look at Yang Ling beside her, her eyes full of apology.

Yang Ling patted her shoulder, signaling her not to worry: "It's okay, you leave first, I'll find you after I'm done."

After Rong'er left, the scene fell silent again.

Lingyue said to Yang Ling: "Mr. Yang, there is no need to be restrained. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, but I'm still used to standing." Yang Ling replied.

Hearing this, Lingyue waved her hand, signaling the people around her to retreat.

After all his men had left, Yang Ling said to the Yin siblings, "You can also leave."

The Yin siblings looked at each other, bowed and said, "Yes, sir." After that, they left Yang Ling's side.

After everyone left, Lingyue invited Yang Ling to sit down again: "Young Master Yang, sometimes it would be more convenient to communicate while sitting down, what do you think?"

This time, Yang Ling did not refuse, he nodded and sat down next to Ling Yue. He could clearly feel the dangerous aura emanating from Ling Yue.

After sitting down, Lingyue continued: "Mr. Yang, do you really know nothing about the Western Outer Realm?" She always felt that Yang Ling did not seem to be really ignorant.

Yang Ling shook his head: "I really don't know. This is also the first time I heard of the Western Region."

"Then why did you come here today?" Lingyue continued to ask. She seemed to be very concerned about the things happening in the Western Outer Realm.

"I just came here at Rong'er's invitation." Yang Ling replied calmly.

Ling Yue fell into a brief silence after hearing this, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she suddenly said, "You and I are destined to be together, why don't you take me as your master? I promise that in just three to five years, you will become the new generation of Saint King of our Southern Border. By then, you will be able to do whatever you want in Southern Border."

Hearing Lingyue's words, Yang Ling looked at her in surprise.

This proposal was too absurd, and he didn't believe Lingyue was sincere at all. After seeing his shocked expression, Lingyue didn't get angry, but smiled: "Don't look at me like that, you can see that I am seriously injured now, and I don't have much time left. I can't protect my tribe anymore. Although Rong'er is strong and talented, she is too indecisive. Now that the spiritual energy is revived, strange people and things are emerging in the world, so I hope you can join our tribe. Although you are an outsider, you have extraordinary talent and great potential. I am willing to pass on all my life's learning to you, but I hope you can combine with Rong'er."

Yang Ling listened to Ling Yue quietly without interrupting her.

After Lingyue finished speaking, he did not respond immediately.

After careful consideration, Yang Ling decided to reject Lingyue's proposal: "Your proposal is very attractive, but in my opinion, Rong'er is like my sister. And now there are indeed many talented people, but I think your tribe is also constantly changing. And I believe that there must be talented people in your ancestors. Even if the bloodline is thin, the inheritance is still there. If you trust me, I am willing to treat you."

After saying this, Yang Ling looked at Lingyue quietly with confidence in his eyes. He believed that with the help of the elixir, he could save Lingyue even if she was dying. At the same time, he also believed that his words would make Lingyue change her mind.

After hearing Yang Ling's words, Lingyue fell into deep thought.

After a moment she actually burst out laughing: "Haha interesting little guy I like you you convinced me!"

When Lingyue's voice fell, Yang Ling said, "It was not me who convinced you, but your people. If it weren't for your people, I don't think you would be willing to let me treat you."

Lingyue nodded in agreement: "Mr. Yang, you are right. In my opinion, life and death are determined by fate and I don't like to force it. Unfortunately, my people are too weak and I know I can't protect them forever. But I really don't want to leave them at this juncture."

After saying this, Lingyue looked straight at Yang Ling: "Mr. Yang, I hope what you said is true. Please don't let me down."

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely do it!" Yang Ling said firmly.

After saying this, Yang Ling stretched out his right hand with a serious expression, and his index finger gently rested on Lingyue's wrist.

After Yang Ling's fingers touched Ling Yue's wrist, a stream of Qi was directly transmitted into Ling Yue's body. Then they both closed their eyes and rested.

Because Lingyue was seriously injured, she fell asleep after a few minutes.

After a long time, the sleeping Lingyue was awakened by a sharp pain.

She found that the blood in her body was flowing from her wrist to Yang Ling's fingertips. At this time, Yang Ling's skin was red as if it was burning with fire.

At the same time, his face was covered with sweat, and he was obviously in great pain.

On the other side, Lingyue frowned. She felt that the true energy in her body was about to be drained.

Lingyue's face showed a trace of suspicion. She felt that she might have been deceived by Yang Ling.

However, at this moment, Yang Ling opened his eyes. He slowly finished his exercise and looked at Ling Yue, who was full of suspicion, and said, "The toxins in your body have been cleared by 70% to 80%. I will use the elixir to help you completely eliminate the rest."

After hearing this, Lingyue's face was full of doubt: "Mr. Yang, are you telling the truth? But where is my true essence?"

Facing Lingyue's question, Yang Ling smiled easily, with unquestionable sincerity in his tone.

"Don't worry, I, Yang Ling, am definitely not that kind of person who would deceive others."

"The poison contained in your body's true essence will be returned to you intact after I have healed your body."

"Given your current condition, I estimate that you will be able to fully recover in no more than ten days."

After hearing this, Lingyue still had a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and it was obvious that she did not completely believe what Yang Ling said.

However, she could indeed feel subtle changes taking place in her body, which made her decide to give Yang Ling another chance to prove himself.

If her true energy cannot be restored in the end, she will never let Yang Ling go easily.

In the following days, Yang Ling began to order the tribesmen in southern Xinjiang to collect spiritual medicines everywhere.

After all the herbs were prepared, he went straight into the alchemy room and began his days of seclusion to make alchemy.

Although Lingyue remained calm on the surface, she was filled with anxiety and uneasiness in her heart. She could only pray silently, hoping that Yang Ling would keep his word.

Rong'er noticed that Lingyue was acting strange, and stayed by her side silently, but didn't say much to comfort her.

Because she had absolute trust in Yang Ling and firmly believed that as long as he said it, he would be able to do it.

At this moment, Yang Ling in the alchemy room was concentrating on refining the elixir. His face was covered with fine beads of sweat, and it was obvious that the process of refining the elixir was not easy.

Suddenly, with a "puff", a mouthful of blood spurted out of Yang Ling's mouth. His mind went blank in an instant, and he could only rely on instinct to control the surging true energy in his body.

At the same time, Lingyue also felt the disorder of the spiritual energy in the alchemy room, and felt mixed emotions.

Fortunately, three days later, there was no dangerous situation of furnace explosion in the alchemy room, and the originally chaotic spiritual energy gradually returned to peace.

Three days later, Yang Ling finally walked out of the alchemy room with the refined pills.

Holding the elixir in his hand, he said to Lingyue solemnly, "I need a quiet, safe place with plenty of spiritual energy to heal you."

Rong Er heard this and immediately said, "Sir, I know such a place. Please follow me."

After following Rong'er to the destination, Yang Ling looked around carefully and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he asked everyone to leave and solemnly warned them: "No one of you may come near, nor let anyone come near, without my summons."

Rong'er nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, I will guard this place and not let anyone get close."

After everyone left, Lingyue asked softly, "Mr. Zhao, can we start the treatment now?"

Yang Ling handed the pill to Ling Yue and said solemnly, "After taking this pill, it will be as painful as being eaten by thousands of ants. You must think carefully."

Lingyue looked at the pill in her hand and gritted her teeth: "We, the Nanjiang clan, have always been associated with snakes and insects. I can bear this little pain." After saying that, she resolutely took the pill.

Seeing this, Yang Ling did not delay any longer. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice his skills to refine the medicinal power of the elixir for Ling Yue.

As the elixir began to take effect in Lingyue's body, the entire cave was shrouded in thick fog.

Although Lingyue couldn't see Yang Ling's figure clearly, she could clearly feel the changes in herself.

After a while, Yang Ling took out dozens of silver needles, and with a light wave of his hands, the silver needles accurately fell into Lingyue's acupuncture points all over her body.

When the silver needle entered her body, Lingyue couldn't help but let out a series of muffled groans, and then she began to spit out large mouthfuls of black, dirty blood.

Yang Ling concentrated and regulated his breathing. After a moment, his face turned extremely pale, but he still stared at Lingyue nervously, not daring to relax at all.

Because he knew very well that if he relaxed, Lingyue might fail.

In the cave, Lingyue fell into a deep sleep again. Her skin turned pale and she exuded a faint fragrance, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

Yang Ling's silver needles stimulated her acupuncture points, forcing the toxins in her body to various parts.

Yang Ling knew very well that Lingyue was suffering great pain at this moment.

If she relaxes even a little, the poisons might take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, and Lingyue would be in great danger.

After a while, when Yang Ling's eyes suddenly widened, a powerful pressure instantly emanated from Lingyue's body.

At the same time, Lingyue opened her eyes, and two terrifying red rays shot out of her eyes.

This was a scene Yang Ling had never seen before, and he couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.

Lingyue slowly stood up, her eyes were extremely deep, as if containing the endless universe.

The dress on her body fluttered without wind, making rustling sounds, faintly emitting a terrifying pressure. This situation made Yang Ling's breathing stagnate.

Yang Ling reacted and quickly said to Ling Yue: "Congratulations!"

Lingyue simply responded: "Thank you."

Then, she whispered to Yang Ling: "You should take a rest first. I have something to deal with. I will be back soon."

After saying that, Lingyue planned to leave.

However, she found that blood was slowly flowing out of the corner of Yang Ling's mouth.

She was startled and asked hurriedly, "Are you hurt?"

Yang Ling chuckled: "It's okay, maybe I accidentally got some toxins while treating you."

As he spoke, he secretly looked inside his body and found that he was indeed poisoned. Although it was not very serious, it would become a hidden danger if not properly treated. (End of this chapter)
