"Master!"
Yun Yan shouted unwillingly, but was immediately glared at by Lu Shan, who reprimanded him, "What, even you don't want to listen to your master?"
"I …" This martial arts fanatic finally revealed his childish side in front of Lu Shan. He pouted and said, "Disciple doesn't dare. Disciple will help you back now."
Only then did Lu Shan nod in satisfaction. His gaze never left Qin Shi, and he finally let out a long sigh.
"Little fellow, you're on your own."
He then patted Yun Yan's shoulder and turned around in a lonely manner. From his back, Qin Shi could see an indescribable desolation.
Suddenly, a fiery gaze met Qin Shi's gaze, drawing his attention. Yun Yan shouted at Qin Shi, "You're Qin Shi, right?
I'll come and compete with you again next time! "
Hearing this, Qin Shi laughed dryly a few times. He watched the two leave and thought in his heart that he had probably met with some trouble this time. Someone like Yun Yan would definitely pester him.
"Thank you, Elder Jian Qing."
Qin Shi solemnly spoke to Jian Qing when the two of them disappeared. No matter what, if it wasn't for Jian Qing, he would have been heavily injured by Lu Shan's cauldron flame.
Jian Qing waved his hand, his eyes unfocused. "Saving you was one of the reasons. I also didn't want to see him go astray. He's not young anymore, and he's suffered several setbacks in his life. He can't endure any more torment."
Qin Shi couldn't help but feel sad. No matter what, the principle of a master for a day was a father for a lifetime was something that couldn't be cast aside. In Jian Qing's heart, he still cared about Lu Shan.
Of course, Su Pu was a special case.
For a moment, he thought of Pu Quan. After he became his disciple, Pu Quan hadn't imparted any teachings to him, but had instead helped him with countless small things.
Rather than calling him a master, it was better to call him a father.
"I wonder how he's doing now." Qin Shi laughed at himself. However, since Pu Quan was in Chi Yan, he wasn't worried about anything.
After all, the Qin family, the Qin Sect, Lin Yu, and Chi Yan were there. With Qin Shi's influence in the Hundred Tides, no one would be able to shake the Qin Sect if no external forces intervened.
"Alright, you guys go ahead with your work. I haven't been to this Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion for a long time. This is the place where I first learned the Dao. I'll take this opportunity to walk around."
Jian Qing was in a daze as he walked into the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion alone, leaving the other four at the staircase of the third floor.
The four of them looked at each other. They couldn't understand the grudges between the elders, so they didn't care too much about it.
Yu Yue didn't expect things to turn out this way. To be honest, he was filled with guilt. He pondered at the side and didn't say a word.
Qin Shi smiled and patted him, seeing through his thoughts: "Alright, don't worry too much, you also don't know that this kind of thing would happen, not to mention that I'm completely fine. Let's go, let's go to the third floor and get the Immortal Immortal Fruit for your little girlfriend."
"Qin Shi …!"
"Alright, stop being so pretentious. If you really want to repay me, remember to treat me to your wedding once you're together with your little girlfriend."
Qin Shi pursed his lips in disdain. "I just can't stand a man like you doing things like a woman."
After undoing the knot in his heart, Yu Yue scratched his head and smiled. He felt a lot better. "That's for sure. However, we haven't even started yet. It's hard to say whether we'll succeed or not."
"For her, you even dare to cheat your own brother to death. If she still doesn't agree to your request, then it really won't be justifiable." Qin Shi glared at him. After throwing down these words, he headed towards the third floor of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion alone.
"Don't worry, it'll definitely work."
Yu Yue was left alone on the second floor. After a while, he chuckled. "I'll be counting on your blessings." He then quickly followed the other three.
The stairs leading to the Sword Sect's Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was a circular staircase. It was very luxurious. The surrounding walls were engraved with towering paintings. There were mountains, rivers, lakes, and rivers. It was very pleasant.
After passing through the stairs and entering the third floor, the pill fragrance became even stronger. Qin Shi took a deep breath. It was as if he was there.
"This is the Pill Transformation Realm."
Yu Yue saw Qin Shi's expression and slowly said. "When a pill or spirit herb reaches a certain level, the pill fragrance it emits is no longer just a pill fragrance. Instead, it has its own domain. Every pill's Pill Transformation Realm is different. Some pills don't even need to be swallowed. Just walking through the Pill Transformation Realm is a rare opportunity."
"There's such a thing?"
Qin Shi exclaimed. He then looked at the illusory scene around him. At first, he thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. He didn't think that there would be such a miraculous thing in this world.
"En, let's go. The Immortal Immortal Fruit is in the third room."
Yu Yue pointed. The third floor of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was slightly different from the first two floors. All the pills and spirit herbs on this floor were not displayed in cabinets. Instead, each pill and spirit herb had their own individual room. There were a total of forty-nine rooms on this floor. These were the forty-nine precious pills and spirit herbs.
From the entrance of the first room, Qin Shi had already sensed a dense fragrance. The Pill Transformation Stage that was produced was something that even he was unable to differentiate between real and fake. One could imagine that its quality was definitely above the Celestial Grade. In other words, there were a total of forty-nine Celestial Grade and above Medicinal Pills and Spiritual Grasses … Hiss, just thinking about it caused Qin Shi to feel terrified.
If one could obtain even one, then wouldn't it be enough for an ordinary person to live a luxurious life?
The four people's gazes followed his gaze and fell upon the third room. Just as they focused, a brilliant flame appeared above them. It was as if a new life had bloomed, full of raging flames.
In the middle of the rolling flames, there was a spiraling phoenix. It was vivid and lifelike. Qin Shi exclaimed, "Is that the Immortal Immortal Fruit's Pill Transformation Realm?"
"Yes, the Immortal Immortal Fruit grows on a thousand year old Wutong tree. It must be a tree that has a phoenix resting on it. After a thousand years of tempering under the phoenix's immortal fire, there is only a one in a thousand chance that it will be born. Therefore, it is extremely precious."
"Let's go and take a look."
Qin Shi stood up first. Wrapping his black robe tightly around him, he walked towards the third room.
Standing in front of the door, Qin Shi immediately felt like his body was about to die. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. For his current cultivation state, this situation was very unusual.
To know that the him today had an extraordinary physique and extraordinary physique. He could already manipulate his Blood Meridians and was not affected by the cold weather. Therefore, it was obvious how powerful the Immortal Immortal Fruit's Pill Transformation Realm was.
"This Immortal Immortal Fruit sure is unusual."
Groaning to himself, Qin Shi raised his guard. After waiting for the other three to catch up, he held onto the door and pushed it open from the outside.
The room wasn't big, it was only a few dozen cubic meters. After Qin Shi and the others entered, the space immediately became very small. It was so dark that they couldn't even see their own fingers. What was surprising, however, was that in the middle of the room, there was an independent red light. The red light didn't radiate outwards, but it was clearly reflected in the eyes of the four people.
"The Immortal Immortal Fruit!"
Yu Yue screamed in excitement. Only then did Qin Shi and the others squint their eyes and stare at the red light.
Sure enough, the red light was the Immortal Immortal Fruit. It was sealed inside a square, transparent display case. Even so, it couldn't hide its alluring fragrance.
"This is the Immortal Immortal Fruit?"
This was also the first time Qin Shi had seen a real Immortal Immortal Fruit.
"Qin Shi, go quickly. You are a closed off disciple. After the title ceremony, the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion will automatically give you a chance to choose a Dan or a Spirit Grass. You only need to go and take it." Yu Yue said impatiently.
"Look at your impatient expression."
Qin Shi smiled, but he didn't delay any longer. Since he had already promised Yu Yue, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word. He stood up and walked towards the transparent display case.
With every step he took, he could clearly feel the rich fragrance. However, suddenly, when he was about ten meters away from the Immortal Immortal Fruit, a ray of fire shot through the display case. It rose into the air and enveloped Qin Shi.
"Eh?"
Qin Shi's expression froze. Immediately, the scene in front of him changed. Not only did the original darkness disappear, but his surroundings were immediately immersed in a sea of red flames.
In the sea of flames, there was magma boiling. He was floating in the air. Every time there was a spark, he felt as if he was being set on fire. His entire body felt a burning pain.
"What's going on?" Qin Shi was shocked.
"Little fellow, closed off disciples indeed have a chance to choose a Spirit Grass or Dan. However, this opportunity is given to those who are prepared. Whether or not you have the ability to take it away is up to you."
Suddenly, there was a deafening rumbling Sanskrit voice in the sea of fire. Qin Shi furrowed his brows. He was not unfamiliar with this voice. He raised his head and shouted, "Senior Lu Shan?"
"Haha, I didn't think you would be able to recognize me."
Lu San's silhouette emerged from the sea of flames. Immediately, Qin Shi's face darkened: "It really is you. I really didn't expect that an elder of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion wouldn't dare to attack me on the second floor due to the rules of the Sword Sect. So you're trying to make things difficult for me here?"
Lu San smiled disdainfully: "Make things difficult for you?
If I wanted to make things difficult for you, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to come up to the third floor. "
Hearing this, Qin Shi pondered for a moment. Lu San was right. He had been in charge of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion for a thousand years and knew this place like the back of his hand. The Sword Sect was one of the eight giants in the human world, and the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was one of the most important places in the Sword Sect. There would definitely be countless formations and barriers in it. Lu San only needed to casually activate a few and it would be enough to make him dizzy. There was no need to make things difficult for him in the Immortal Immortal Fruit Pharmacy.
"Then what is the meaning of this?"
