Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Now the two have not completely escaped danger, and Li Xuanyi has been in a coma, which really makes Song Qingming very worried. Now that he sees that the other party has finally woken up, the pressure in Song Qingming's heart is immediately relieved a lot.

Li Xuanyi opened his eyes wide, looked around, and then asked Song Qingming weakly:
"Fellow Daoist Song, how long have I been unconscious?"

"Including today, it should be the 17th. Don't worry, we have already escaped from the Demon Sealing Valley. This place is the territory of the Yunshui Sect in the northern part of Qingzhou. The people of the Tiangui Sect should not be able to find this place in a short time."

Song Qingming had just answered the other party when he saw Li Xuanyi supporting herself on the bed and trying to get up. He quickly reached out to help, but Li Xuanyi smiled and waved at him, insisting on sitting up by herself.

Afterwards, Li Xuanyi began to try to circulate the magic power in his body. However, as soon as he used the magic power, his face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood, and he almost fell down again.

Seeing this, Song Qingming hurried forward to support her and gently persuaded her: "Fairy Li, your injuries have not yet recovered, so don't rush to use your magic power!"

"I haven't thanked Brother Song for his care over the past few days. I'm sorry, Xuanyi!" After wiping a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, Li Xuanyi gave a wry smile and bowed slightly to Song Qingming.

"You and I have been friends through thick and thin, so please don't be so polite. To be honest, if the fairy hadn't killed Duan Longshan with one strike, it would have been difficult for me to escape from the Tiangui Sect. I should remember this favor.

Besides, I have already promised you that I will personally return this item to you. If I don’t wait for you to wake up, I will be breaking my promise!”

After Song Qingming finished speaking, a light flashed in his hand, and he took out the jade pendant that Li Xuanyi had personally handed to him and put it in her hand.

When Li Xuanyi saw the square jade pendant, a hint of joy immediately appeared on his face, and then he carefully put it away.

“Fairy Li, I would like to ask you a question. When you killed Duan Longshan, what kind of magical power did you use to have such great power that you could kill a peak Jindan cultivator with one strike.

Song really doesn't know why Fairy Li has never used such a powerful magical power before. Can you explain this to me?"

Seeing Song Qingming looking at her curiously, Li Xuanyi smiled and waved her hand slightly, saying: "Fellow Daoist Song, you have misunderstood me. How can I be so capable as to kill a peak Jindan cultivator?

The method I used before was nothing more than a secret technique left to me by my master. After activating this secret technique, I can deliver a full-strength attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core realm would inevitably die if hit head-on.

Duan Longshan knew that I was seriously injured and looked down on me for a moment. That caught him completely off guard and I took advantage of the opportunity to use my secret technique to kill him with one blow.

The reason why I haven't been able to use it before is that once this secret method is used, it will consume a lot of mana. If I can't kill the opponent in one blow, then I will be in danger.

When Duan Longshan fought me before, he was still on guard. I was not very confident in that situation, so I did not make a move. "

“Being able to launch a full-strength attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator, could it be that Fairy Li’s master is also a Nascent Soul senior?” After hearing Li Xuanyi’s explanation, a hint of awe emerged in Song Qingming’s eyes as he looked at her.

Song Qingming could guess who Li Xuanyi's master was, as he could set up a method to easily kill a late Jindan cultivator on someone else. The master must be at least a Yuanying cultivator with great magical powers.

Hearing Song Qingming's question, Li Xuanyi did not answer directly, but just nodded with a smile, acknowledging Song Qingming's guess.

What Li Xuanyi said was actually similar to what Song Qingming had guessed in recent days. After seeing her kill Duan Longshan with one strike, she immediately fell into a coma due to the loss of a large amount of mana in a short period of time.

Song Qingming also knew that the reason why she was like this was that she must have forcibly used a secret technique, which caused the backlash of the vitality in her body. However, he had never figured out what powerful secret technique she used, which made him curious.

In the world of cultivating immortals, it is not uncommon for some high-level cultivators to leave their powerful secret techniques on their younger disciples who have lower cultivation levels in order to take care of them and to protect them in case they encounter any danger outside.

However, using this method is also a rather troublesome thing. After so many years of Dan-forming, Song Qingming only left Song Yuanhao with a relatively low-level means of self-defense.

After finding out the truth, Song Qingming took out a storage bag from his body and placed it in front of Li Xuanyi.

"Fairy Li, what's in here are the spiritual objects I found from Duan Longshan. Some of them have been exchanged for spiritual stones to help you buy elixirs for healing. The rest are all here.

Although I picked up this storage bag, you killed Duan Longshan after all, so how about we split the things inside in half? "

Seeing the storage bag in Song Qingming's hand, Li Xuanyi's face was slightly surprised, and a bit of admiration appeared in his eyes when he looked at Song Qingming.

After killing Duan Longshan, Li Xuanyi soon fell into coma and had no idea what happened afterwards. If Song Qingming had not taken the initiative to tell her, she would not have been able to confirm that the storage magic weapon on Duan Longshan had fallen into his hands.

In such a critical situation, it would be reasonable and justifiable for Song Qingming to make up an excuse or simply say that he was in a hurry to escape and forgot about it.

The reason why Song Qingming was so open-minded and willing to share the spiritual objects from Duan Longshan with Li Xuanyi was that he really wanted to recognize the other person as a friend.

After practicing Taoism for so many years, although Song Qingming is not a gentleman, he is willing to be loyal to every friend who is willing to treat him sincerely.

Li Xuanyi risked his life to kill Duan Longshan that day, which meant that he had entrusted his entire life and property to Song Qingming, and Song Qingming could not shirk this responsibility no matter what.

Faced with Li Xuanyi, who had unconditional trust in him, Song Qingming naturally did not want to take advantage of her secretly. After all, Duan Longshan died in her hands.

Although Duan Longshan has many spiritual objects on him, none of them are what Song Qingming needs. Between a pile of spiritual stones and a sincere friend, Song Qingming still feels that the latter is more important to him.

Seeing that Song Qingming was about to pour out the spiritual objects in the storage bag and share them equally with him, Li Xuanyi hesitated for a moment and finally spoke up to stop him.

"Fellow Daoist Song, I don't think it's necessary to divide the things in here. I have something to ask of you. If you are willing to agree to it, these things will be your reward!"

"Fairy Li, there's no need to be so polite. Just tell me what's the matter. I will do my best as long as it's possible!" Seeing this, Song Qingming stopped casting the spell and responded with a smile.

Li Xuanyi smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Song knows that my injuries are so serious that I may need another year or two to recover completely.

Now that the day for me to go out for training and return home is approaching, I would like to ask Daoist friends to help send me back to Nanzhou. I wonder if Daoist Song is willing to do me this favor! "

"Send you to Nanzhou. Well, okay! I promise to send you back, but just for sending you back, I will get these spiritual objects for nothing, which is a bit too much of an advantage for you.

How about this! The spiritual stones inside belong to you, and I will take the other spiritual objects. This will be fair to both of us. Fairy Li, do you think it's okay? "After hearing that the other party wanted to send her home, Song Qingming thought about it for a while, then nodded and agreed.

"Well! Then I'll listen to Brother Daoist Song. I won't refuse your kindness." Seeing that Song Qingming agreed to send her back, Li Xuanyi suddenly showed a relaxed smile on her face.

Now that her injuries are so severe, it is difficult for her to take care of herself here alone, let alone cross most of the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world to return to Nanzhou.

If she accidentally encountered danger on the road, or was tracked by people from the "Tian Kui Sect", she would probably not be able to deal with even the more powerful foundation-building cultivators now, and would just be at the mercy of others.

Now that she is seriously injured and has no one to rely on here, it is really difficult for her to trust others. That is why Li Xuanyi placed her hope on Song Qingming.

After all, through the contact over the past ten days after they fell into trouble, she had absolute trust in Song Qingming's character. Otherwise, she would not have made up her mind to entrust her own safety to Song Qingming during the subsequent pursuit, and risked using her secret technique to kill Duan Longshan.

The reason why Song Qingming agreed to the other party so decisively was not only because he was somewhat worried about Li Xuanyi going back alone, but also because one of the remaining three places he was going to visit happened to be in Nanzhou.

Anyway, if he takes Li Xuanyi with him on the journey, it will at most slow down the journey and take a few months longer, which will not have much impact on Song Qingming's subsequent plan to find those two places.

Seeing that Li Xuanyi agreed to his proposal, Song Qingming immediately smiled knowingly, took out more than 50,000 spirit stones from the storage bag in his hand, then changed the storage bag to put the stones in and handed it to her.

Seeing that Song Qingming had looted so many spirit stones from Duan Longshan at once, Li Xuanyi was a little surprised. On his still pale face, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy, and his whole condition immediately recovered a lot.

Just as Li Xuanyi was happily counting the spirit stones in the storage bag, there was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting the two people who were talking.

Seeing this, Song Qingming quickly turned around and walked to the door. He opened it carefully and saw that the person who came in was the waiter from the restaurant whom he had just met downstairs.

"Sir, our shopkeeper has already calculated your room fee. Do you want to check out now?" "Oh! Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do. I have to stay here for two more days. Can you please tell the shopkeeper?"

Seeing that the guy was here to urge him to check out, Song Qingming shook his head at him awkwardly, indicating that he would stay for a few more days, and sent the guy away.

According to Song Qingming's plan, they were supposed to leave here today, but Li Xuanyi had just woken up and was still a little weak. After thinking about it, Song Qingming decided to leave here in two days.

"Fellow Daoist Song, although I am still unable to use my magic power, it is no longer a big deal. If you are in a hurry, we can leave now!"

Li Xuanyi, who was sitting on the bed, saw Song Qingming closing the door and walking back, and immediately asked him a question, obviously having heard the conversation between him and the waiter just now.

Seeing this, Song Qingming waved his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, Fairy Li! This place is tens of thousands of miles away from the Tiangui Sect's territory. They will definitely not be able to find this place in a short time. It's okay for us to stay for a few more days."

"Well! Then Xuanyi will listen to Brother Daoist Song."

".."

After the two of them sat there and chatted for a few more words, Song Qingming suddenly remembered something that happened to Li Xuanyi before, so he pretended to be curious and asked:
"Fairy Xuanyi, just before you woke up, a green aura suddenly appeared on your body to form a protective armor. It's quite mysterious. I would like to ask, is this the technique you practiced?"

When Li Xuanyi heard Song Qingming mention the green aura armor that appeared on her body, she was stunned for a moment, then she responded with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Song guessed correctly. This technique is a secret technique passed down to me by my master. However, I am not very good at learning and have not yet mastered it. That is why I have never used it in front of you before. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Song, who has such a high level of cultivation, would actually be interested in this technique."

After Li Xuanyi finished speaking, the spiritual light in her hand moved slightly, and a ball of green spiritual light that had appeared on her body before gathered in front of her, and then turned it into a small green flying sword.

Seeing the green light appear again, Song Qingming's attention was instantly attracted to it, but his facial expression did not change much, and he still tried his best to maintain a calm look.

After a while, Li Xuanyi broke up the green flying sword in front of him and turned it into a stream of spiritual power and took it back into his body.

Then she slowly said, "I am really sorry, I have sworn in front of my master that I will not teach this set of skills to anyone without his permission.

If you are really interested, Brother Song, you can go with me to meet him after returning to Nanzhou. Maybe he will agree to teach you the technique."

Song Qingming, who was still in deep thought, heard what Li Xuanyi said and quickly shook his head:

"Fairy Li, you are worrying too much. I have only seen similar skills before, so I am a little curious. I am not deliberately coveting this secret skill of yours. I hope Fairy will not misunderstand me."

The reason why Song Qingming was somewhat curious about Li Xuanyi's secret technique was because he saw the green spiritual light armor that automatically appeared on her body before she woke up, which was very similar to the "Xuanguan Armor" in the "Yuxuan Sutra" he had practiced. This made him mistakenly think that the other party had also practiced the "Yuxuan Sutra".

However, after seeing Li Xuanyi use the green spiritual light in his body again, Song Qingming observed it carefully and found many differences in it, and then he confirmed that he must have made a mistake.

Unlike the "Yuxuan Sutra" practiced by Song Qingming, the secret technique practiced by Li Xuanyi looked 70% similar on the outside, but after using it, Song Qingming could clearly feel that these spiritual lights were mixed with other attributes of the skills.

Even the color of the spiritual light will change with the change of form, sometimes darker and sometimes lighter. This is very different from the "Yuxuan Sutra" that Song Qingming has practiced for many years.

Although Song Qingming already regarded Li Xuanyi as a friend, the secret of the "Yuxuan Sutra" in his body has always been regarded by him as important as his own life.

Apart from Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu, who have supported him for nearly two hundred years, Song Qingming has never revealed anything about the "Yuxuan Sutra" in his body to anyone over the years.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Song Qingming did not take the initiative to show Li Xuanyi his Xuanguan Armor, but just used the excuse that he had seen similar skills before.

In response to this, Li Xuanyi nodded slightly and said, "The world of immortal cultivation is so vast that there are countless similar techniques. It is not surprising that Fellow Daoist Song has seen similar techniques."

"Fairy Li, these are some healing pills I bought for you these past two days. They are made with the spirit stones from Duan Longshan. You can keep them for now.

See if you need any more pills and tell me. I'll go out and buy you some before you leave, so you don't have to look for them on the road when you leave."

After explaining the matter to Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming immediately changed the subject and took out a few bottles of healing pills from his storage bag and handed them to her.

Now that Li Xuanyi has woken up, she no longer needs Song Qingming's help in casting spells. She can refine pills by herself, so that she can heal her injuries faster.

"Well! Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Song!" After Li Xuanyi took the pills and took a look at them, he quickly nodded and smiled slightly, expressing his gratitude to Song Qingming.

Then she took out a piece of white paper, wrote down several healing pills on it, and handed it to Song Qingming.

After Song Qingming took the note she wrote and left, Li Xuanyi, who was sitting in the room, recalled what Song Qingming had just asked her about her martial arts skills, and a hint of doubt appeared on her face.

"How come he happened to have seen a similar technique?"
-
Three days later, a white light flew over a small hill in the north of Qingzhou.

Song Qingming, who was standing on the "Phantom Boat" and controlling the flying boat with all his strength, has now changed into an unfamiliar middle-aged man. Li Xuanyi, who was sitting behind him, has now returned to her original female attire and changed into a black plain long dress.

After staying in the market for another two days, seeing that Li Xuanyi's injuries had gradually improved, Song Qingming did not delay any longer and took her away from the market, preparing to send her back to Nanzhou first.

Nanzhou is located at the southernmost tip of the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Kingdom". It ranks second in area among the thirteen states of Donghuang Kingdom. It is larger than Ningzhou that Song Qingming has visited.

Because it is close to the "Falling Star Sea", it is occasionally attacked by sea monsters. Compared with other places in the "East Phoenix Kingdom"'s immortal cultivation world, Nanzhou is more chaotic and not as peaceful as places like Ningzhou in the inland areas.

Originally, Song Qingming was planning to go to Nanzhou one last time, but because of chance he was tasked with escorting Li Xuanyi, he had to temporarily change his plan.

After leaving the market town, Song Qingming did not go directly south. Instead, he first went around the east for a long distance before turning the flying boat around and heading straight south.

Li Xuanyi, who was used to Song Qingming's cautious actions, naturally did not raise any objections. The two of them had just formed a life-and-death feud with the people of the "Tian Kui Sect" not long ago, so they had to be careful at this moment.

Fortunately, the two nervous people did not encounter any troubles along the way, and they successfully passed through the entire Qingzhou in less than two months. This also surprised Song Qingming and the others. It seemed that the people from the "Tian Kui Sect" did not send cultivators out to search for their traces this time.

However, Song Qingming and the others didn’t know that not only did the “Tian Kui Sect” not investigate the matter and send people to track them down, they even blocked the news of Duan Longshan’s death and forcibly suppressed the matter.

Although Duan Longshan and his companions were the Jindan elders of the "Tian Kui Sect", the other Jindan cultivators of the sect, and even the two Yuanying supreme elders, were unaware of what happened in the "Demon Sealing Valley".

The decision to track down Song Qingming and his gang to snatch the "Yanling Water" and the secret recipe in Li Xuanyi's hands was entirely made by Duan Longshan and his gang who were eager for merit and made it behind the sect's back.

After Duan Longshan died that day, although Chen Zifeng escaped back, he was unable to explain the matter clearly for a while. He was so frightened that he simply said that Li Xuanyi was a strange Nascent Soul cultivator.

Upon learning that the elders of the sect had killed people for treasure and had encountered the intervention of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the people of the Tiangui Sect wanted to avenge Duan Longshan, but they knew they were in the wrong and did not dare to make the matter public for a while.

The two supreme elders of the sect were furious, and punished Chen Zifeng and several people including Liang Daosheng who participated in the "Demon Sealing Valley" operation by making them go into seclusion to reflect on their mistakes.

The reason why the "Tian Kui Sect" acted like this was not because they really felt that Duan Longshan and the others had done something wrong, but because this matter involved a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, and they did not want to have too deep a grudge with a strange Nascent Soul cultivator because of something that they were in the wrong about.

Of course, Song Qingming and the other two, who had already left the "Tian Kui Sect", naturally did not know about these things. For them, being able to escape from Qingzhou safely was already a blessing in disguise.

After getting away from the danger of the "Tian Kui Sect", Song Qingming slowly put his mind at ease and slowed down the speed of the flying boat.

Although there is still a long way to go before reaching Nanzhou, fortunately they don't have to worry about potential dangers all the time, nor do they have to hide during the day and go out at night to avoid the markets where monks gather. (End of this chapter)
