Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Chapter 254 Four Arts Competition (13)

"I can still help you guys if I follow you. I am about to form a pill anyway." Zhang Ran naturally didn't want to leave the two of them behind.

"Don't be so stubborn. Your master and senior brothers at home are waiting for you to buy elixirs to save their lives. What will they do if anything happens to you?"

Han Xin's words put Zhang Ran's worries to rest.

Yes, there are still master and senior brothers in the sect waiting for her to take care of them. If something happens to her, no one will take care of them.

As for the other people in the sect, they were simply unreliable. Ever since her master came back from being injured, the leaders of the various peaks in the sect had only visited her master and senior brothers once. After finding out that it would cost a considerable amount of money to completely cure them, they left one by one shaking their heads. The sect then left the master and disciples to fend for themselves. Otherwise, it would not be her turn, a young cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, to come to help them.

The sect didn't care about them, and she didn't blame them. She would be satisfied as long as other people in the sect didn't take advantage of them.

"Sorry." Zhang Ran was silent for a moment and said.

"What are you apologizing for? This matter has nothing to do with you." There was a hint of joy in Han Xin's voice.

Others don't worry about having too many debts, but Han Xin now feels like she doesn't worry about having too many enemies.

Zhang Ran hesitated for a moment, then replied with a red face, "I do consider you my friends."

Shouldn't friends help each other, rather than stabbing each other in the back?
Seeing the other person blushing, Han Xin knew that for someone like Zhang Ran who was not good at expressing himself, it must have taken a lot of courage to say this.

"We also consider you as a friend. That's why we don't dare let you get involved with us. We are both alone. If we die, we die. But you are different. You still need the care of our master and brothers."

"Also, you should not act with us these few days, so as not to be implicated and cause a lot of trouble later. But you can continue to bet on us, but you have to control your investment."

Seeing that the other party was about to open his mouth to say something, Han Xin interrupted him directly.

Zhang Ran sighed, "I won't be with you guys after this. Leave a note so I can know if you are safe."

After the two sides exchanged sound transmission notes, they quietly split up into two groups.

"It really is coming for us."

After Han Xin and her friend walked for a while, the feeling of being stared at was still with them.

"Let's walk around the street for a while longer." Shi Yan squeezed her hand and whispered.

They thought that they could temporarily get rid of those who were watching them, but they were wrong. On the contrary, the feeling of being followed became more and more obvious, and the people who were following them no longer tried to hide it.

There were three groups of people who were obviously staring at them. As for those who were following them more covertly, the two of them could sense two spiritual senses.

Those three groups were only Jindan-stage cultivators, and the other two should be Yuanying-stage.

One of the people in the Nascent Soul stage who was following them was Bai Lian. There were too many people here, so she couldn't get close to the two people and couldn't mark them. She could only follow them herself. Her purpose was to find out where they lived and then find an opportunity to get rid of them.

The people who were following the two people did not know that their spiritual awareness was much higher than their cultivation level, and thought that the two people were unaware that they were being followed.

"It seems that I can't go back to the courtyard tonight." Shi Yan said with a frown.

"Then let's go to a prosperous place and find an inn with many people to stay in." With so many people, those who want to take action will be more cautious.

Because the city was holding a Four Arts Competition recently, all the inns were fully booked. They went into several inns, but they were all full. The two finally ran into two monks who had just checked out of an inn, so they quickly went up and rented a room from one of them.

"Please wait a moment, my two Taoist friends. I will arrange for someone to clean up the room right away." After the shopkeeper finished registering them, he said politely to the two men.

Shi Yan and Han Xin nodded, and seeing an empty table in the lobby, they went over and sat down while waiting for the room to be cleaned up.

There was a person following them outside, who was seen by their peripheral vision. The person quickly flashed into the alley opposite.

They just took advantage of the fact that there were many pedestrians on the street and walked around in front of the two of them without restraint.

The monks following behind were puzzled as to why the two were looking for an inn at this time? Where had they stayed recently?
"Please have some tea, seniors." At this time, a waiter in the Qi training stage brought two cups of tea to the two of them and carefully placed the cups on the table.

"thank you."

Han Xin smiled, picked up the teacup, and slowly brought it to her mouth.

After walking for half a day, she was really thirsty.

But just when she brought the teacup to her lips, her hand paused, then she put the cup down unnoticeably, and glanced at the waiter, but did not see anything wrong with his expression.

Han Xin still couldn't figure out whether the other party was too good at acting or he simply didn't know there was something wrong with the tea. In order not to alert the people who were following her outside, she chose not to make any moves.

Just as Shi Yan was about to pick up the teacup, he noticed that the person next to him had a strange look in his eyes.

He followed Xinxin's line of sight and looked at the figure who had already turned away, and asked in a voice transmission, "Is there something wrong with this guy?"

Han Xin tapped her fingers casually on the table and replied in a voice transmission, "I haven't seen any flaws from the other party's expression yet, but our tea has been drugged."

Shi Yan's eyes flashed with a fierce light for a moment, and then his expression returned to being expressionless.

The guy who was walking back felt a chill on his back and stopped. Not understanding what had just happened, he scratched his head in confusion and continued walking back.

Until the room upstairs was cleaned up, neither of them touched the water in the teacup. They decided to leave it for the right person.

When they went upstairs to their room, two Jindan male cultivators entered the inn.

The two of them walked to the inn counter to check in.

The other person wandered over to the table where Han Xin and the other person had just sat. Seeing that the tea in the cup showed no signs of having been touched, he secretly cursed Han Xin and the other person for being too nosy.

The medicine in the teacup was put by them. A Jindan-stage cultivator has many ways to drug a Qi-training-stage cultivator without making a fuss and without letting the Qi-training-stage cultivator notice anything wrong.

I originally thought that by drugging them I could save them a lot of trouble, but it turned out that they simply refused to drink. They were too vigilant.

It's not because the two of them are so vigilant that they don't drink the tea. Han Xin is an alchemist and pharmacist. She may not know everything about herbs, but she knows at least 80% of the herbs in their world of cultivation. If they want to drug her, doesn't that mean they are deliberately exposing the fact that someone wants to harm them?
Coincidentally, the room these two people rented was right next to Han Xin and her roommate.
