"Manager Xue, you don't have to be like this. It's just some worthless elixir, don't worry about it."

The moment He Qingyun saw Xue Hai, a hint of surprise flashed through her beautiful eyes. She didn't expect that the steward of the Yuling Sect would actually come to the giant spirit boat.

Just a while ago.

She just received a message from Manager Xue, who said that while guarding the medicine garden, she suddenly had an epiphany and accidentally burst out with spiritual energy, destroying the elixir that He Qingyun had stored in the sect's elixir garden.

In the message, Manager Xue specifically invited He Qingyun to his residence to accept an apology.

Since He Qingyun had received instructions from Su Yuer before receiving the message, he directly refused.

Unexpectedly, the steward was politely rejected and followed him directly to the sect spirit boat.

This obviously made He Qingyun aware that something was abnormal, but on the surface, she forced her expression not to change much.

"Junior Sister Qingyun is quite generous."

Xue Hai smiled and said: "It's really admirable."

Having said that, the steward of the Yuling Sect did not forcefully send away the gifts. He simply chatted for a few words and turned to leave.

The whole process seems very strange, but if you don't think about it carefully, you won't think there is a big problem. At most, you will be confused about the strange way of doing things, and you won't think deeply about it.

But He Qingyun was currently on a mission, and was reminded by his senior sister, so the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Manager Xue had come over with a conspiracy, but it had not been exposed yet.

After closing the door of the private room, He Qingyun took out the transmission talisman and informed Su Yu'er about Manager Xue's visit.

The answer I received was to take one step at a time, take a look at it, and talk to Manager Xue normally for now.

At the same time, He Qingyun received the third order from the peak master, that is, after attending his brother's wedding banquet, he went to the Qianyan Gate of Yaoyun Oasis alone.

Compared with the first order "Practice in the courtyard" and the second order "Write a letter to Master", this third order has a sense of "throwing bait".

After receiving the order, He Qingyun exhaled slightly, then sat cross-legged on the futon and practiced silently.

If time flies by, a few days will pass in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the sky was clear and clear.

Jiang Qiong, who was staying in Qianyan Sect, controlled the Frost Sword Spirit Puppet to return to the sect.

Putting the spirit puppet back into the storage, Jiang Qiong simply arranged his clothes and walked out of the Beast Control Mountain.

At this time, the number of monks in the sect was sparse, and among the towering mountains, there were basically no monks to be seen.

After a simple glance, it can be said that the building is empty of people.

The reason why this happens.

The main reason is that more than ten days ago, the sect reorganized the trial, summoned most of the disciples, and went to the secret mountains of Yaoyun Oasis again to continue the trial and competition.

This is also the reason why Zhong Yiyun didn't look for Jiang Qiong again after leaving the secret realm.

It's not that she doesn't want to look for it, but the trial in the secret realm prevents her from having time to come here.

And because I have something to do.

Jiang Qiong deliberately avoided the trial, and no matter how much the Lu family members tried to persuade her, she always looked lazy.

This move was very consistent with Lu Yunlang's style and had no other impact except making the head of the Lu family sigh.

While no one cares about you.

Jiang Qiong quietly walked out of the Qianyan Gate and went all the way to the teleportation mountains in other counties. Through the teleportation array and the spirit boat, she headed to Yaoyun County.

Back then, he and He Yan came to Yaoyun Oasis at the same time. He Yan introduced Li Li to Yaoyun County to help the family guard the foundry building.

Jiang Qiong himself stayed in Pingyun County.

Currently attending the wedding banquet, Jiang Qiong had to rush to the largest county in Yaoyun Oasis to find congratulatory messages.

"Speaking of which, after staying in Yaoyun Oasis for several years, I have only been to Yaoyun Oasis once."

Jiang Qiong went to other counties and cities through the teleportation array, and then transferred to a giant spiritual boat to sail slowly in the air.

Through the window, he overlooked the scene on the ground and recalled the last time he went to buy exercises.

Because I was too busy at that time, I didn't go find the congratulations.

"Take this opportunity to see if we can get in touch with the Yuling Sect again."

When mentioning the Yuling Sect, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but think of Wu Zhilu who was in the Foundation Establishment Realm. She thought that she had some relationship with the Yuling Sect, so he could find an opportunity in private to ask her out to meet.

When the time comes, give her the ancient jade slips obtained from the secret realm in exchange for some treasures. If she can use this to establish a relationship with the Yuling Sect, it will naturally be the best.

Jiang Qiong looked at the scenery while her thoughts were running.

Just like this, my thoughts kept spinning.

It was about dusk.

Jiang Qiong arrived at Yaoyun County.

After stepping off the giant spirit boat, he found a remote and uninhabited area and revealed his true face. The aura he revealed was controlled at the fourth level of the Qi Training Realm.

Finish these.

Jiang Qiong found a carriage in the county town and took it to the Zhu family's Crane Gold Forging Building.

According to the words of congratulations.

He worked in the foundry building.

The Hejin Casting Building is located at the southernmost part of the county, basically on the edge of Fangshi.

By the time Jiang Qiong arrived, it was already late at night.

Because he received the message from Jiang Qiong, He Yan stayed at the door early.

Compared with a few years ago, this young man with a slightly burly figure has not changed much. He still has a resolute face. The aura he exudes is at the second level of Qi Lianjing, and vaguely touches the third level of Qi Lianjing. threshold.

Compared with the last time they met, He Yan's level has only improved one level.

This is a true portrayal of most casual cultivators in the Taling Desert. They have no resources and no talent. They can only reach a higher level in a few years at a lower level.

Once the realm is slightly higher, it often takes more than ten years, decades, or even a lifetime to break through.

"Brother Qiong, long time no see!"

As Jiang Qiong's eyes swept over, He Yan noticed the gaze of an acquaintance. He turned around and saw the familiar Jiang Qiong, and then showed a warm smile.

Although Jiang Qiong and He Yan had not met each other for several years, for the monks, this time was just a matter of seclusion, and it passed in a blink of an eye.

Furthermore, the two of them occasionally communicated through voice messages, so their relationship didn't seem too unfamiliar.

"I haven't seen him for several years, but he's still so strong."

Jiang Qiong walked up to He Yan, patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

As he spoke, his spiritual consciousness subconsciously scanned the surroundings.

Just sweep it away.

Jiang Qiong noticed something unusual. There are several mysterious auras around the foundry building, secretly monitoring He Yan. They are all at a very high level, and they are all monks at the ninth level of Qi Lian Realm.

The most important thing is that Jiang Qiong noticed that there was a leader among these Qi-training monks who carried a second-level rhombus-shaped magical weapon.

This magical instrument is inlaid with high-grade spiritual stones to provide a spiritual source. In addition to its breath-containing effect, it can also intercept spiritual consciousness. Just now, Jiang Qiong's spiritual consciousness was almost detected.

If Jiang Qiong's spiritual consciousness hadn't been strong enough to withdraw in time, he would have directly exposed himself.

The Master Ji Establishment, who was in the lower realm, came over. He estimated that if he hadn't paid attention, his own realm had been exposed just now.

"so close."

Jiang Qiong was secretly frightened, with cold sweat breaking out all over her body, as a group of Qi-training monks almost discovered the realm of foundation building through magic tools.

"What happened to He Yan recently? Why are a group of high-level Qi-training monks following him?"

"Secretly holding a second-level magic weapon to intercept spiritual consciousness."

Jiang Qiong was certain that this group of monks did not follow him. They were all focusing on the congratulations.

The inside story made Jiang Qiong think deeply.

But because he currently has too little information, he doesn't even have a guess for the time being. He can only sort it out slowly through conversations.

"Hehe, I've been living a bit leisurely life lately, but my body shape hasn't changed much."

He Yan smiled heartily and said: "Brother Qiong came all the way here, thank you for your hard work."

"Let's go to the restaurant to taste the spiritual meal and help Brother Qiong wash away the dust."

Under the guidance of congratulations.

Jiang Qiong followed to a luxurious restaurant, which was about tens of feet high and soared into the sky. The entire building was carved from jade, with lifelike patterns of auspicious animals and patterns carefully carved on it.

There is an endless stream of customers on the street in front of the restaurant.

Even though it was late at night, there were still many luxurious carriages parked, and occasionally distinguished monks would get out of the carriages and go straight to the restaurant.

"There are quite a lot of guests."

Jiang Qiong glanced at the monks around him and saw one real person in the foundation-building realm.

It has to be said that Yaoyun County City is indeed the core of the entire oasis, and there are really many high-level monks.

For example, in Qianyan County, there are only five real people in the Foundation Establishment Realm in the entire county. On weekdays, even the disciples of the Qianyan Sect cannot see one of them.

But in Yaoyun County, if you come to a restaurant to taste the spiritual meal, you can meet a foundation-building master.

Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Qiong turned to look at He Yan and asked:

"The restaurant here looks very high-end. Will it cost a lot to taste the spiritual food here?"

He Yan heard the words and said with a smile: "I have the guest order given by Qingyun. I can taste the spiritual meal here at a huge discount. It won't be too expensive."

With He Qingyun's status as a direct descendant of the Yuling Sect and a disciple of Zhenji Zhenren, He Yan has been prosperous in the past few years.

Jiang Qiong nodded lightly, and with a vague movement of spiritual consciousness, he detected several high-level monks in the Qi Training Realm and followed them all the way.

As he walked into the restaurant, Jiang Qiong was running his spiritual sense, carefully avoiding the prism-shaped magic weapon, and carefully exploring the situation of the several stalkers.

"The positions are coordinated while walking. Their respective disguise spells are of a higher level. The aura they exude is very powerful. The aura within their bodies is pure. All of them come from great forces."

Jiang Qiong withdrew her spiritual consciousness, followed the congratulations into a private room, and asked casually:

"How have you been in the past few years? You just came to Yaoyun County and have been practicing in seclusion?"

He Yan walked into the private room, activated the formation restriction, then picked up the teapot in front of the table, made tea, and said:

"About that. In the first half year after arriving in Yaoyun County, I was doing errands at Zhu's house normally, guarding the foundry building, and occasionally going out for a walk with Li Li."

"Immediately after I received the cultivation resources sent back by Qingyun, I immediately broke through the realm in seclusion."

"I just broke through the realm and came out of seclusion not long ago. I followed Li Li to visit the scenic spots and historic sites in Yaoyun Oasis. My life is relatively comfortable."

He Yan said with a smile, apparently unaware that he was being followed by several high-level monks in the Qi Training Realm.

"Brother Qiong, how are you doing in Pingyun County?"

He Yan sat on the chair and asked while reading the recipe.

Jiang Qiong said without hesitation: "I'm living a good life, not much different from before."

While talking.

Jiang Qiong carefully considered the words of congratulations and felt that they did not seem to offend a powerful force.

After all, it had only been a few years, but He Yan had been in retreat for most of the time, and now he looked like he was having a happy event. It was obvious that he was living a happy life.

"By the way, you have been in Yaoyun County for a while. Have you encountered anything new? Or have you made close friends with similar interests?"

After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Qiong felt that the problem might lie with He Qingyun, but to be on the safe side, he still asked in detail.

"This"

He Yan thought about his own experience, shook his head, and said: "The time I lived in the county was too short, but I didn't encounter anything new."

"I don't even have any close friends. I basically spend my time doing errands, accompanying Li Li to play, and retreating."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiong smiled on the outside, but in her heart she became more and more certain that He Qingyun had attracted several high-level Qi-training monks.

They were following He Yan, it didn't look like they were protecting him, they might have other intentions.

It seems that He Qingyun has attracted the attention of interested people in the sect.

Jiang Qiong's eyes turned slightly, and he once again used his spiritual consciousness to quickly lock on the several high-level monks who were following him.

They pretended to be distinguished guests and changed their faces several times on the way. Finally, half of them arrived at the private room next door to the congratulations.

The remaining half of the people stood guard around the restaurant street, as if to prevent the congratulatory message from suddenly slipping away.

Taking advantage of the congratulatory message to talk to the attendants at the door and ordering dishes, Jiang Qiong carefully investigated the situation of the several stalkers.

When he was on guard, his spiritual consciousness was running very covertly and was not detected by the second-level magic weapon.

In the private room next door, a total of three monks at the ninth level of the Qi Training Realm were gathered together.

They casually ordered some dishes, sat together in silence, and communicated in secret.

"Brother, what are we, a group of monks at the eighth or ninth level of the Qi Training Realm, doing following a young boy at the second level of the Qi Training Realm?"

"His realm is so low, what's worth tracking? Could it be that he has a rare treasure on his body?"

The person who spoke was a female cultivator with an ordinary face. Her hair was short, and she looked very inconspicuous through the disguise. She was an existence that would be forgotten among the crowd in a blink of an eye.

Intercepted by Jiang Qiong's spiritual consciousness, the female cultivator's message clearly echoed in Jiang Qiong's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."

The leader in the private room is an old man with childish face and white hair. He looks like a fairy. He holds a fly whisk and looks like he is bringing his juniors out to taste the spiritual meal.

"This mission is of great importance. We all work with our heads hanging on our belts. Once the mission fails, we will die. Please cheer up for the next few days."

The boy-faced and white-haired old man glanced at the two people around him and said in a cold tone. (End of chapter)
