"Old Feng!"
With a loud shout, Lord Daoist Jinghe sped up and rushed to Feng Xiao in an instant. With the Li-Fire Gourd hanging in front of him, he shouted angrily, "How dare you attack my disciple!"
Before Feng Xiao could speak, Ding Luan said with a smile, "Brother Daoist Jinghe, don't worry. My husband was just joking with your boy."
"Joking?"
Lord Daoist Jinghe wasn't a slow-witted person. Looking at the scene in front of him, he roughly knew what happened, so his voice also slowed down. "That'll do. You husband and wife don't need to play any tricks. Since you protected him this time, consider it as me owing you a favor!"
Hearing this, Feng Xiao laughed and pointed with two fingers. A stream of spiritual aura poured into Qin Xi's Shoulder Well acupoint. Qin Xi, whose meridians were restricted, finally recovered and breathed a sigh of relief.
He bowed to Feng Xiao without any disrespect. "Thank you, Senior Feng."
Feng Xiao attacked him just now because he wanted to use him to restrain Lord Daoist Jinghe. Lord Daoist Jinghe was very tactful, so Feng Xiao and his wife chose to join hands with him.
Qin Xi's mind was clear, so he was still respectful to Feng Xiao.
There were many conflicts of interests between cultivators. Since his master chose to join hands with them, they were now companions, so he had no reason to be disrespectful to Feng Xiao.
Feng Xiao nodded with a smile, but Ding Luan smiled sweetly at Lord Daoist Jinghe. "Brother Daoist Jinghe, I really like your boy's cleverness. Why don't you become my son-in-law?
Although my Fengning is a bit spoiled, she's also a good girl. "
In just a few seconds, from checks and balances to joining hands to discussing marriage, Old Daoist Fuling and the others who were flying in front hadn't arrived yet, but their topic had already changed.
Qin Xi turned a deaf ear to this and walked back to Lord Daoist Jinghe. "Master."
"En." Seeing that he was alone, Lord Daoist Jinghe looked around. "Where's Tiange?"
Qin Xi was worried about this matter. "I got separated from Tiange.
Master, since you're here, I'll go find her … "
"Wait!"
Lord Daoist Jinghe raised his hand to stop them. With a frown, he said, "Don't act rashly. This is the depths of Immortal's Ruins; you shouldn't have come here. Since you're already here, just wait. Once I've dealt with the matter here, I'll go look for Tiange with you!"
"But …" Qin Xi only said two words. When he saw Lord Daoist Jinghe's expression, he could only sigh and obey. "Got it."
Of course, he knew that his Master was right. There were so many Nascent Soul cultivators here, so it was clear that he had gone in the wrong direction in the fog and entered the depths of Immortal's Ruins by mistake. At this time, it was not suitable for him to act alone.
But when he thought about how Tiange was still in the fog and couldn't find her way, he felt extremely anxious.
Lord Daoist Jinghe naturally understood Qin Xi's absent-minded look, but he didn't say anything to him. Instead, he answered Ding Luan's question: "It's too late. Your Fengning isn't bad, but unfortunately, my boy already has a sweetheart."
"Eh?"
Ding Luan was a little surprised. She glanced at Qin Xi and joked, "What a pity. I wonder which family she's from?"
"Haha, good things don't flow to outsiders. Unfortunately, she's my disciple …"
Before Lord Daoist Jinghe could finish his complacent words, he heard a gloomy voice. "The three of you are so impatient. It's only been a while, but you're already talking about marriage?"
This voice belonged to Master Song Feng.
His own disciple was killed by Qin Xi. Now that he saw Lord Daoist Jinghe and the Luan and Feng couple talking about their disciple and daughter, he felt extremely resentful.
Ding Luan added fuel to the fire. She said with a smile, "Old Song Feng, you don't have a child. Are you jealous?
If you have the time, you might as well give birth to a … Oh, no, with your body that's neither human nor ghost nor monster, I'm afraid you can't give birth, right? "
"You —" Master Song Feng suddenly became furious. His Primordial Devil Aura surged and transformed into a long knife.
During this time, the other Nascent Soul cultivators landed one after another, staring at Master Song Feng with hostile expressions.
Gujian Sect's Old Daoist Fuling, Sword Venerable Xiao He, individual cultivator Qingming Wanderer, Xuanqing School's Lord Daoist Huayan, Tiandao Sect's Daoist Heifeng, Lu Daquan … Although these people were all in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm except for Old Daoist Fuling, Lord Daoist Jinghe, Ding Luan, Feng Xiao, and Daoist Ji were all in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Master Song Feng paused for a while then snorted coldly. Without saying goodbye, he turned into a black cloud and left.
The ten Nascent Soul cultivators present all sighed with relief.
They had a lot of people, so they weren't afraid of Master Song Feng, but this old man was a madman. If they really fought him, with his reputation as the number one late stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the Celestial Pole, even if they lost, they would lose a few people, and they probably wouldn't be able to kill him. Now that he left on his own, it couldn't be better.
As soon as Master Song Feng left, Old Daoist Fuling, who had just arrived, greeted them with a smile. "Fellow Daoist Feng, Fellow Daoist Ding, Fellow Daoist Ji, Fellow Daoist Jinghe, what are you doing?"
During the demonic beast riot, Ye Jingwen and Gujian Sect had conflicts, so Lord Daoist Jinghe didn't have a good attitude towards Old Daoist Fuling. He just casually raised his hand at Old Daoist Fuling as a return greeting.
Ding Luan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Fuling, long time no see.
In fact, it's nothing. Fellow Daoist Ji and I just found something. "
"Really?"
Old Daoist Fuling's eyes glinted, but under the smiles of Ding Luan and Feng Xiao, the glint quickly dissipated. He was still smiling. "Fellow Daoists, rest assured. You and your wife are working together, so how could I intervene?
I just want to broaden my horizons. You won't object, right? "
Ding Luan smiled and said slowly, "What are you talking about, Fellow Daoist Fuling?
It's not a good thing. It's just a piece of Xuan Fire Jade Essence. I think it's useless to you. "
"Oh …" The light in Old Daoist Fuling's eyes went out.
Xuan Fire Jade Essence was a good thing and a rare material for refining fire magic weapons, but he was a sword cultivator, so it was useless to him.
On the contrary, Qin Xi next to Lord Daoist Jinghe brightened his eyes.
As a middle stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Ding Luan's eyes immediately fell on Qin Xi and she asked with a smile, "Qin boy, are you interested in this Xuan Fire Jade Essence?
Oh, that's right. Both of you, master and disciple, practice fire magic. "
Although her words were kind, Ding Luan glanced at Lord Daoist Jinghe faintly, and her meaning was self-evident.
Lord Daoist Jinghe snorted and said, "You two don't need to test me. When have I ever gone back on my words?"
There were many intrigues among cultivators, but the higher the level of a cultivator, the more importance they attached to their promises. Once they made a promise, they generally wouldn't go back on it unless it involved great benefits.
A piece of Xuan Fire Jade Essence met this standard, so Ding Luan and Feng Xiao both wanted to test Lord Daoist Jinghe. However, they also knew that although Qin Jinghe was annoying, he always kept his word. It was fine if he didn't know about the Xuan Fire Jade Essence, but he still said that after knowing it, so he certainly wouldn't compete with them.
Among the five middle stage Nascent Soul cultivators present, Old Daoist Fuling wasn't interested, Lord Daoist Jinghe didn't compete, and they were on the same side as Daoist Ji, so they naturally didn't pose any threat.
Feng Xiao bowed to the others. "Thank you, everyone." Then he winked at Daoist Ji. Daoist Ji nodded and jumped down from the crater.
Daoist Ji went to get the Xuan Fire Jade Essence. Ding Luan looked around and saw a handsome young man in the Foundation Building realm behind Old Daoist Fuling, so she asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Fuling, when did you accept a new disciple?"
Old Daoist Fuling glanced at the young man behind him, stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "This little friend is not my disciple."
"Really?" Ding Luan was a little surprised. "When did you become so kind?
If he's not your disciple, why did you bring him to Demonic Mountain? "
"Haha!"
Old Daoist Fuling seemed to be in a good mood. "It doesn't hurt to tell you, but Fellow Daoist Ding, you and your wife can't compete with me!"
Feng Xiao smiled. "What are you talking about, Fellow Daoist Fuling?
We already have a daughter. Do you think we'll take this little friend as our son-in-law? "
"That's hard to say." Old Daoist Fuling smiled mysteriously.
His expression was too mysterious, so the Luan and Feng couple, as well as Lord Daoist Jinghe and the others, couldn't help but release their divine senses to explore the young man. As soon as they did, their expressions changed.
After a long time, Ding Luan murmured, "Pure Yang Constitution …"
Upon hearing these words, Qin Xi's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but look at the young man.
Old Daoist Fuling smiled without saying anything, obviously very proud.
He wasn't worried that others would compete with him. After all, Pure Yang Constitution was only useful for female cultivators. Ding Luan was the only female cultivator present, and she already had a Dual Cultivation partner. Although they had a daughter, they loved her like a treasure, so they wouldn't casually find a Human Furnace for their daughter. Even if other people had female disciples, they had to think about the consequences of competing with him.
A moment later, Feng Xiao said faintly, "Fellow Daoist Fuling, you're really lucky. Pure Yang Constitution is hard to find in a thousand years. Are you going to give him to your disciple as a Human Furnace?"
Hearing the word "Human Furnace", the young man was even more frightened.
Old Daoist Fuling said with a smile, "He's not a Human Furnace. This little friend has a good aptitude, so it's not a big deal to take him as a disciple."
"Really?" Ding Luan wanted to say more, but Daoist Ji had already appeared at the crater, so she stopped talking.
Daoist Ji glanced cautiously at the Nascent Soul cultivators in front of him and then gently threw the Xuan Fire Jade Essence in his hand.
Although the Nascent Soul cultivators had no intention of snatching it, they didn't leave. Naturally, they were interested in the Xuan Fire Jade Essence. They wanted to see what the Xuan Fire Jade Essence that grew in Immortal's Ruins looked like. At this moment, when they saw the Xuan Fire Jade Essence that Daoist Ji threw out, their eyes were fixed on it.
Old Daoist Fuling's eyes flashed, and even Lord Daoist Jinghe was a bit tempted. This Xuan Fire Jade Essence was really too perfect!
It was as big as two palms, fiery red, crystal clear, and extremely pure!
They had never seen such a Xuan Fire Jade Essence.
"Seniors." Qin Xi was the first to speak.
The Luan and Feng couple and Daoist Ji stared at him vigilantly.
Qin Xi said calmly, "Seniors, are you only interested in the Xuan Fire Jade Essence?"
The three of them were stunned, but Ding Luan still said with a smile, "Brat Qin, what do you mean?"
Qin Xi said, "Such a large piece of jade essence must have grown here for at least tens of thousands of years, so it's enough to grow a Chalcedony. If there's a Chalcedony, would you be willing to part with it?
I'm willing to exchange it with other treasures. "
"Chalcedony?"
Lord Daoist Jinghe was moved, and his eyes were a bit eager. "Yes, this jade essence looks so good. If it grows a Chalcedony, it must be good."
The three middle stage Nascent Soul cultivators looked at each other. Chalcedony was rare, but it was nothing compared to this Xuan Fire Jade Essence.
Ding Luan said, "So you want a Chalcedony. If there's a Chalcedony in this jade essence, I don't mind giving it to you."
Qin Xi smiled and bowed to thank them. "Thank you, Seniors."
A trace of regret flashed in the eyes of Old Daoist Fuling and the others.
Now that they found this Xuan Fire Jade Essence was so outstanding, they were all greedy. If Qin Jinghe's group had a conflict with these three people, they could fish in troubled waters. Unfortunately, this Qin brat wanted a Chalcedony, and Ding Luan gave him a favor, so it seemed they wouldn't fight.
Thinking of this, Old Daoist Fuling bowed to the others. "Since there's nothing else, we'll take our leave first. Fellow Daoists, I hope to see you again."
Ding Luan and Feng Xiao were eager for them to leave, so they politely bowed back, but Lord Daoist Jinghe's group didn't pay any attention to them.
