ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 170 "After I transformed and came down the mountain, I was loved by everyone"

"We monks travel down the mountain to broaden our horizons and improve our magic. If the abbot knew that you secretly left the Temple of All Laws, he would definitely be very angry. But if you don't forget to practice your Zhenwu Incarnation Technique while traveling, and show your progress to the sea monks when you return, won't they be proud of you? They will recognize that you have the freedom to travel! After all, you can't control the child when he grows up and matures!"

"Don't you want to give them all a scare?"

"We have been apart for three days, so we should look at each other with admiration!"

Seeing Jingxin looking at him in confusion, Du Xinghe tried to persuade him earnestly.

Jingxin asked: "Really?"

"really!"

"Then I will listen to you, but you have to say a few good words for me in front of the sea monk."

Seeing Jingxin happily transforming into a magical instrument, she suddenly felt that children who are inexperienced in the world are easy to deceive.

Du Xinghe jumped onto the unsheathed Xue Ming and disappeared in a streak of light.

The sword spirit controls the direction and searches for the location of Xinyue.

……

At the same time, Yanzhou.

A chase is taking place on the vast grassland.

Although the sun was shining brightly in the sky, Xinyue, who was running wildly on the grassland, was shrouded in shadow. The sky was covered with hundreds of ugly shadow bats. Wherever they passed, the trees were smashed to pieces in the blink of an eye. Even the Fengsheng leopard living on the grassland let out a warning roar and fled with its family.

Xinyue was not very proficient in flying with a sword, and if she flew a little higher, she would immediately become the target of bats. So after trying to escape with the sword, she quickly switched to using a short-distance escaping spell under the siege of bats, using the two-meter-high grass as her natural cover.

A faint shadow of butterfly wings appeared on her back, helping her dodge, jump, and change positions to the limit on the grassland, narrowly avoiding attacks from outside the bat group.

That’s right, it wasn’t just the swarm of shadow bats that were hunting her.

In fact, it was not she who attracted this group of bats.

The story begins two days ago.

After leaving the broken ship, Xinyue began to explore alone. Although she did not have the Purple Wisdom Pupil, the sound waves of the Bone Phoenix Flute could find the spirit beasts with soul flowers in the dense forest and kill them very efficiently.

She was busy killing monsters and looking for her master, but she didn't know that other cultivators who landed in Yanzhou had already found their respective organizations. Lone wolves like her were soon secretly targeted.

Although she has always been by Du Xinghe's side, she still lacks experience in field combat.

After all, before she met the master, she was just an illiterate peasant girl. Now she is not afraid of anyone in a one-on-one situation. If others want to team up to do something bad to her secretly, she doesn’t know how to defend herself.

So there was a scene today where the monk who knew how to tame beasts attracted the furious shadow bats and chased her for most of the day.

Bats were running and weaving together, and the sound of their flapping wings filled the entire grassland.

A little further away from the bat group, four monks continued to use medium and long-range spells to narrow her escape space.

The tired butterfly spider fell on her shoulder. A big hole was burned on its originally gorgeous wings. It rubbed against its owner in grievance.

Xinyue whispered to comfort it: "Have you reached your limit? Hold on a little longer. We can't fall here. We haven't seen the master yet."

She squeezed out a little of her remaining spiritual power and healed the butterfly spider's wings.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of those who were chasing her.

"Damn it, I finally managed to knock off one of his pet's wings, and now he's healing it again."

"A monk who can heal his wounds is hard to kill."

"do not be afraid,"

The leading cultivator among the four smiled calmly: "We take turns to use magic to endure him. He stepped on our magic circle before. He can't burn his blood and escape in these six hours. His spiritual power will eventually run out."

The swarm of bats separated the two sides. They could use low-cost, low-grade spells in a safe place to drain her spiritual power and make her fall into the siege of the swarm of bats.

This is what happens when you are a lone wolf.

The beast-taming monk observed the target's current situation through the eyes of one of the shadow bats.

The hair wet with sweat stuck to Xinyue's cheeks and forehead. Her current condition was certainly not very good. The overdrawn spiritual power made her skin pale and she was panting like a mortal, but her eyes were calm, without the slightest fear or anxiety, and she was still calmly looking for the route and direction to escape.

Xinyue set her sights on a huge mountain.

On the grassland, the opponents and bats could attack her from any direction, and she could even use magic to make noises to alert the bats of her location, but once she entered the mountains, there were more places to escape.

The pursuers behind her had obviously anticipated this, and cast more intensive spells in her direction. The spiritual power fluctuations from behind her even lifted the grass, cracked the ground, and even threw her into the air.

The lithe figure shuttled through the rubble like an elusive lightning.

In the final dodge, Xinyue finally used up the last bit of her spiritual power.

"hiss……"

A rocket pierced through the dense swarm of bats and pierced through her shoulder, causing her to scream out in pain. The butterfly spider flew around the bleeding wound in a hurry, but could not squeeze out even a bit of scale powder.

Is that it?

If only I could escape into the mountains...

She raised her eyes and looked forward. The mountain was not far away, but she really couldn't escape. If only she could give the soul flower in her hand to her master and then be eliminated... After all, it was her lack of experience that disadvantaged her.

She stopped and turned around.

Those who were hiding in the dark still didn't dare to show up, they just wanted the bats to knock out her heart-protecting amulet so that they could reap the benefits.

The dense swarm of bats pressed down on her like a giant net.

Just when the last chance for escape was about to be blocked, a beam of white light came from the west!

It was a strange beast that ran very fast. It picked up Xinyue by the scruff of the neck and threw her on its back.

【Get lost! 】

Ning Lin turned his head and roared, and the white flames he exhaled engulfed some of the shadow bats, but were there so many bats? New ones immediately filled that gap.

When the beast-taming monk saw a spirit beast coming to disrupt the situation, he could no longer sit still. He took out the talisman passed down from his ancestors and chanted a spell...

A deep human voice sounded in Qilin's mind.

Stop, stop...

Get the monk off your back, get him off...

[Sister, there are monks trying to manipulate us.] Ye Qi reminded.

【Who wants to teach me how to do things? ! 】

Ning Lin was furious. It was not a low-level spiritual beast like the shadow bat that relied on numbers to win. Those little black-nosed beasts did nothing all day long but hang upside down in the cave to give birth to their cubs. Other spiritual beasts did not mess with their caves, just like they did not want to step on an exploding cesspool. Their brains were not even as big as the black-nosed beasts. Did the cultivator behind this think that if he could control them, he could control it?
I look down on it so much!

The furious Ninglin gathered his strength, accumulated spiritual power and repelled the consciousness that tried to control him!
"what!"

The beast tamer spat out a mouthful of blood, covered his chest and knelt down, the talisman in his hand also ignited without fire: "How could it be... it's fine that I can't control it, but it can actually drive me out and let me suffer the backlash?"

"what happened?"

Seeing their companion vomiting blood, the other three monks also became anxious.

"Oh no! Is there someone coming? Who dares to steal the prey we have been waiting for three hours!" he was furious.

A female voice said in surprise: "Three hours, that's a long time."

"yes!!!"

After the monk finished speaking, he remembered that the four of them were all male monks, so how could there be a female voice?
The male cultivator froze and didn't dare to look back.

One hand clasped his head and slowly turned it back.

A tall and graceful figure appeared in front of him. She stood on a huge sword and looked at the four people with interest. Her thin lips were slightly raised, but her eyes did not show any smile, which made them feel cold all over.

This face, this face...

It’s Du Xinghe coming!!
"Senior Du."

They smiled uglier than crying, and one of them said cleverly, "We are here to kill the shadow bats with soul flowers on them. There are too many of them. We have been searching for three hours and still can't find one. It seems that there is another monk being chased by a group of bats, but it is too difficult to cross the group of bats to save him."

"However, if Senior Du takes action, he will definitely have the upper hand!"

"Is that someone Senior Du knows?"

The reasons they made up were not without reason, and their attitude towards Du Xinghe was very respectful.

If Du Xinghe was a reasonable person, he might be framed and have to reason with them and find evidence that they were targeting Xinyue...

But that's too troublesome.

In two breaths, the four of them were all hit with the Heart Protection Spell. They could only stare unwillingly as the soul flowers they had collected with great difficulty were peeled off from the back of their hands and floated above the barrier, waiting for the spell to teleport them out of the secret realm: "We really don't target your friends, how can Senior Du attack us without reason!?"

Du Xinghe wiped the sword and ordered Qilin to bring Xinyue to her.

When the beastmaster who was guiding the swarm of bats had his hands broken, the bats scattered like blind flies and fled back to their nests.

The Qilin carrying Xinyue returned to her with some anger still on its back.

"Ah? You misunderstood. I didn't attack you because of what you did."

Du Xinghe didn't even look at the four people: "It's just a matter of convenience."

——You have made up good reasons, but the strong do not reason.

With a look of reluctance on their faces, they were teleported out of the secret realm.

Du Xinghe accepted the soul flowers of the four people and went to check on Xinyue's condition.

Xinyue, whose spiritual and physical strength were both overdrawn, fainted and her face turned pale.

Before entering the secret realm, Zheng Tianlu also gave her some Soul-Restoring Pills, which could sustain her for three hours. However, after taking them for a while, she could no longer squeeze out spiritual power from her meridians, so the Soul-Restoring Pills lost their effect... Fortunately, those people did not cause any substantial harm to her, so she just needed to have a good rest and let her spiritual power recover naturally.

"Fortunately, I caught up."

Du Xinghe asked Qilin to take Xinyue into the mountains and find a place to sit down under the shade of a big tree and next to a stream.

A giant red and white rat passed by and squeaked at her in dissatisfaction.

Half an incense stick later, the fire beast, whose internal organs and fur had been cleaned, was pierced through with branches and roasted over the campfire. Its skin was made into fire-resistant cloth and covered Xinyue.

[Mom’s grilled meat is so delicious~]

Ning Lin changed her previous temper and ate the meat grilled by Du Xinghe. Her words became coquettish with repeated words: [Mom, don’t you want to eat it yourself? ]

Du Xinghe: "I don't want to eat rat meat."

Although the Fire Beast lives in the Fire Forest Mountain and feeds on wild fruits and small animals, and is not a dirty rat living in the sewers, she still has little interest in it.

Seeing this, Ninglin, after enjoying the roasted beast meat, set out on all fours to hunt in the mountains and forests.

Every time he killed one, he would bring it back and pile it up next to Du Xinghe.

It worked very hard, and in less than half an hour, the corpses of animals around Du Xinghe had piled up into a small hill.

This scene shocked the judges outside the water mirror.

"Is this a Qilin?!"

"Is Qilin so obedient? If the people of Wanling Sect saw this, they would be so angry that their Taoism would be unstable."

"I remember that a long time ago, an elder of the Wanling Sect left to look for a Qilin, but unfortunately he never returned..." A cultivator sighed in the judging panel, and others comforted him: "It may just be a spirit beast with the same features as a Qilin. A real Qilin doesn't have two heads! Even if it is really a Qilin, it must be a deformed species."

Deformed species are considered defective products in the spirit pet market and their prices are greatly discounted.

But even if it is a defective product, it is enough to make the monks envious.

Du Xinghe dared to let Qilin show up in public only after he reached the Golden Core stage. A cultivator at or above the Golden Core stage might be attracted to Qilin, but they would not tear their faces apart to snatch her spiritual pet… A spiritual pet with a strong personality like Qilin would rather die than obey if someone tried to kill someone to snatch her pet. "Okay, okay, I'll eat it. Don't hunt everywhere."

Du Xinghe patted Ninglin's head and lit the bonfire again.

The carcasses it brought back included all kinds of animals that flew in the sky, walked on the ground, and swam in the water. Du Xinghe took the trouble to remove the scales and clean the internal organs of the fish, skewered them and roasted them. The flames licked the fish's body, and the fat was roasted and dripped down into the fireworks, and the fire suddenly shot up high.

After being roasted, the aroma of the spirit beast meat was completely activated, and the aroma spread far away.

The spirit beasts became restless after smelling the fragrance, and the monks nearby could not help swallowing their saliva.

However, the spirit beasts and the monks seemed to have made an appointment and stayed away from this place.

Are you kidding me? Who dares to light a fire and barbecue here? Only a simple person can do that?

If you can't afford to offend them, they can afford to hide.

When Xinyue woke up in a daze, she almost thought she was dreaming.

She was extremely tired, her hands and feet seemed not to belong to her and she could not lift them at all. The temperature difference between day and night in Yanzhou was extremely large. When she opened her eyes, she saw the starry sky in the night sky. She was covered with a dry animal skin, and there was a blazing fire next to her at the right distance. It was not too hot or too cold, just the right temperature.

Isn’t she being chased by a swarm of bats, and is there a monk watching her from behind?
"you're awake?"

He cut off the thorns on a branch and placed a large piece of meat next to Xinyue's mouth: "You woke up just in time. Come and try some. I roasted it."

Recognizing the master's voice, her pupils shrank: "Master——"

He didn't have time to finish the second half of the sentence because he was interrupted by the barbecue.

The meat of spiritual beasts was a little too tough, so Du Xinghe shattered the tendons before roasting it, making it soft and delicious. The high fire locked the juice in the meat. She subconsciously took two bites, and the velvety smooth meat slid into her esophagus, soothing her tired soul and body.

"Is it delicious?" Du Xinghe asked.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

After responding to her master's words, Xinyue got up.

When she failed to crawl the first time, she circulated her spiritual power and injected it into her limbs, forcing them to prop her up. Her limbs seemed to have minds of their own. Her arms were twisted behind her back to support the ground, and her main torso was lifted high. Her movements were as stiff as a protagonist in a horror movie who was possessed by a ghost, or a villain who had just turned into a zombie. She used all four limbs and tremblingly moved towards Du Xinghe.

"You're a zombie!"

Du Xinghe had just finished checking the cooking time of the meat when he turned around and saw this horrifying scene. He was shocked and immediately hugged her into his arms: "Okay, isn't Master here? You have to lie down and rest if you want to."

Xinyue changed her posture and buried her head in her master's arms, just like a stray kitten who had finally found a warm home.

"Yes, Master, let me show you."

She took out the bouquet from her storage ring.

The black bouquets were still in full bloom, emitting a strange and not very pleasant aroma.

Du Xinghe had come into contact with many alchemy materials from Master Rong Yu. He remembered that this thing was called the Flower of Eternal Life, which specifically parasitized on the face of a corpse. Taking it did not give one immortality, but after being parasitized by it, it could reconnect the broken human nerves, allowing the corpse to remain intact and move freely, looking for new corpses everywhere, or turning living people into corpses and spreading out.

but……

After all, it was a token of his disciple's kindness, so Du Xinghe took the bouquet and thanked him: "Thank you, the flowers are blooming very well and are very beautiful. I like them very much."

She didn't even dare to take a deep sniff of the flower, so she put it into her storage ring.

Xinyue didn't care about the details. After getting the master's approval, the tense lines on her face relaxed gently: "As long as the master likes it."

Alas, there are risks in raising stray kittens.

After all, kittens love to bring dead cockroaches and mice home and place them next to their owners' pillows as a surprise.

Du Xinghe: "Now that you're awake, tell me what happened."

Xinyue shrank her neck and recalled what happened today with a guilty conscience.

Half an hour later, she realized that the bats were not just passing by, but were attacking her specifically.

It was even later that they discovered that there were monks behind the scenes doing bad things.

By then, she had already used up a lot of her spiritual energy, and it was impossible for her to fight her way out of the swarm of bats. She was caught in an awkward situation where she could neither advance nor retreat.

After listening to this, Du Xinghe understood:

"I'm afraid you've been targeted for a long time, but you just haven't noticed it."

It was like putting traces of silk on her.

"I understand. I was careless." Xinyue reflected dejectedly.

No matter how many times others scolded her, it was not as damaging as one scolding from her master with a frown. Her little face, which was always cold to everyone, immediately became dull.

"I don't blame you. There is no such thing as a thief who can stop thieves for a thousand days. Besides, I positioned you as a healing assistant. They just took advantage of my absence to bully you. I have already taught them a lesson."

Du Xinghe didn't blame her.

It is obvious that her training of Xinyue is all for her own benefit and full of selfish motives.

She wanted her apprentice to obey her orders and satisfy her desire for control, but she also required her to be able to survive independently when she was alone. Isn't that asking for both? Protection and treatment are the output's responsibilities. It's just that she came late.

The firelight illuminated half of Du Xinghe's body.

In contrast, her other side merged into the darkness, which made her already deep facial features even more profound. She lowered her head and smiled at Xinyue: "I didn't think it through. I will teach you how to check if you are being followed in the future."

Du Xinghe paused and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't learn it, I'm here anyway."

After saying this, she almost wanted to slap herself in the mouth.

She just likes to say such cool words! She is addicted to the feeling of being relied on and admired by her apprentice!
"It's great to have Master here."

But Xinyue was the most supportive. When she looked up at her master, her eyes were full of admiration and dependence. "When I was cornered by the bats, I thought it was a pity that I couldn't see my master. I wanted to give all the soul flowers I collected to my master. The moment my master fell from the sky... I didn't know what to say. How come my master always came so timely? I am so happy."

Qilin, who was eating and drinking nearby, frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

its not right.

Wasn’t it the one that rushed into the swarm of bats and rescued Xinyue?

Before Qilin had time to think deeply, Du Xinghe stuffed the roasted meat into its mouth. It quickly grabbed the meat, the aroma of the meat filled its mouth, and a sense of happiness filled its brain.

Forget it, forget it… chew chew chew, it’s ok to give the credit to mother… chew chew chew…

Du Xinghe raised his eyebrows: "I didn't know you were so talkative."

Xinyue was too lazy to say a word in front of others.

But when facing the master, he said all the nice things he could think of, and every word came from the heart:
"It's great that the master is around and the ginseng water is not."

Du Xinghe just leaned over to take the meat off. The firewood was burning so loudly that she didn't hear it clearly. She lowered her head and asked, "Huh? What happened to the ginseng water?"

"I did not say anything."

Xinyue quickly put on a very obedient expression.

In fact, she also missed the ginseng water, but in the secret realm, there was no real danger to her life——

Then what's wrong with letting her and her master spend some time alone together?
Xinyue acted coquettishly in Du Xinghe's arms: "Master, I can't even move my hands, but I still want to eat."

"Okay, okay, Master will feed you."

Du Xinghe pulled out Xue Ming, and the firelight reflected on the sword.

The sword spirit frowned and said, "Wait, you want to use me to divide the meat? My sword must shed blood when it is unsheathed!"

Xue Ming cut the large piece of meat into small pieces and dropped them into the leaves. The undercooked parts oozed a little blood.

The sword spirit's protest was in vain.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, Yudun, who was hung by Du Xinghe's side, also muttered: "What's roasting that smells so good? Xinghe, give me a bite too."

Considering that the sea monk's name was a monk and that he lived in a temple, Du Xinghe grabbed a handful of vegetable leaves and stuffed them under the jade shield.

It's strange, it smells good, but tastes like green leaves.

Jingxin was puzzled.

……

The next day, after Xinyue recovered, Du Xinghe suggested going to find ginseng water.

"We have nothing else to do anyway, so we'll search and collect soul flowers at the same time. We'll kill anyone who provokes us. What do you think, Xinyue?"

Xinyue nodded: "Master, I think so too."

Although she secretly prayed in her heart before going to bed yesterday -

Never think about ginseng water, never think about ginseng water, but since the master said so, she had no choice but to agree.

"But how do we find it?"

Xinyue already knew that her master was connected to her, which was why she was able to find the location so accurately.

Could it be that Shenshui and the master have a connection that she doesn't know about?
Xinyue's heart was filled with alarm bells.

"How do I find it..."

This question stumped Du Xinghe. She pondered for a moment and said, "I need someone to help me determine which state it is in."

"As expected of you, Master. You have connections everywhere!"

Xinyue flattered from the bottom of her heart.

The sword spirit was puzzled. It had been hanging on Du Xinghe's waist for twelve hours, but it had never heard of her having any connections! At best, it was Jiang Zeman, Luo Shaya and the son of the Ji family, but it hadn't seen those three people yet.

Soon, Yijian and Renzi found out how Du Xinghe got his connections.

She activated her Purple Wisdom Pupil and captured any cultivators she found wherever she went.

Those cultivators who were in the foundation-building or core-forming stage were almost scared to death when they saw a Jindan sword cultivator flying towards them on a sword. But when they heard that she was just asking them if they had seen a certain cultivator - Du Xinghe did not have a portrait of ginseng water in her hand, but Xinyue knew illusion. She played a short piece to make the other party fall into an illusion, and then showed the other party the illusion of ginseng water in the illusion. It was very simple and quick.

Du Xinghe was lucky enough to find the sixth person, who said he had seen ginseng water.

“I remember this woman!!!”

The victim monk showed resentment in his eyes: "It was her who instigated a fight between me and the other two monks. The heart-protecting amulet was almost knocked out. I also want to find him!"

After locking down the specific state where the Shenshui was located, Du Xinghe began a concentrated search.

There were actually quite a few people who had seen ginseng water, and she had also heard a lot of testimonies—

"I remember her, a very gentle and beautiful female cultivator. I gave her some spiritual food, but she didn't want to cause me any trouble and left." The man showed a nostalgic look: "Are you looking for her? If you find her, please help me tell her a message. My name is Wu Yanguang. After we leave the secret realm, can we add each other as friends?"

There was another one who was even more powerful: "Are you going to seek revenge on her? Even if you take out my Heart Protection Talisman, I will not betray her! She is just a weak female cultivator, you are not allowed to bully her!"

Crossing the Galaxy: "..."

Xinyue: "..."

Otherwise, don't look for it.
It is not necessary to find this disciple/junior brother...

When they were full of worries and hesitating whether to give up the search for ginseng water, they finally met a group of monks who were traveling together.

And Shenshui was surrounded by them, with the roasted spiritual food brought to his mouth. His face was round from being pampered. He saw his master and sister from afar, who were all weathered. He immediately put down the banana in his hand and waved to them:
"Master, I missed you so much! I finally found you!"

He ran over quickly.

Just as he was about to pounce on his master, he was stopped by Xinyue.

As soon as Xinyue put her hand on his shoulder, the male cultivators in the group stared at her with jealous and hostile eyes, as if she had done something very cruel and inhumane.

——Du Xinghe thinks that Shen Shui’s life can be published as a separate book, “After transforming and going down the mountain, she was loved by all the monks!”, a popular and popular story with multiple male protagonists and a reverse harem.
