After Chang Yue stood by the river for a while, she saw a bamboo raft swinging over. Standing on the bamboo raft was a young man holding a bamboo pole, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat on his head.
When Zhupai heard the news from the shore, the man looked at Changyue and asked, "Who is coming and what is your business?"
Chang Yue raised her voice and replied: "Luo Qingyi of the Yinxian Sect is here to keep the appointment!"
When the man heard this, his attitude immediately became respectful, and he invited Changyue to board the bamboo raft, "It turns out to be Holy Lord Hanlu, please follow me down!"
Qi Guanheng had already given orders to inform him immediately whenever Holy Lord Hanlu of the Yinxian Sect came over, so the people below did not dare to neglect.
Chang Yue jumped up and landed lightly on the bamboo raft. The man rowed the bamboo raft towards the middle of the river. After a while, a brightly lit boat appeared in Chang Yue's sight.
"Yue Niang, come out quickly, there are distinguished guests arriving!"
As the man in the bamboo hat finished speaking, a beauty wearing a gorgeous red palace dress, her whole body decorated with pearls and emeralds, slowly leaned half of her body out of the window of the attic of the Huafang.
Her shoulders are half exposed, her eyes are as charming as silk, and she is full of charm.
This is actually a Xiantian realm master.
"I don't know who this distinguished guest is. I hope you won't be surprised if you miss me from afar!" the woman known as Yueniang said coquettishly.
The man in the bamboo hat said loudly: "Holy Lord Hanlu of the Yinxian Sect is here to visit!"
Knowing that she was the distinguished guest of the city lord, Yueniang did not dare to neglect her. She suddenly jumped out of the window, her clothes fluttering down the side of the ship, leaning on the railing and said to Chang Yue:
"Holy Master Cold Dew, please come aboard!"
As she finished speaking, a green vine was seen spreading down from the side of the boat. The vines continued to intertwine, eventually forming a wooden ladder that reached Chang Yue's feet.
Seeing Chang Yue boarding the boat on the wooden ladder, the man in the bamboo hat was about to leave on the bamboo raft, but Yueniang stopped him and said:
"Hey, hey, A'lan, why don't you come up and sit down?"
A Lan's face was obscured by the shadow of the bamboo hat and his true appearance could not be seen clearly, but the tips of his ears quickly turned red and he rowed away quickly on the bamboo raft.
"Who are you calling...A-Lan? It's frivolous...frivolous!" Only people close to A-Lan can call her!
The look was quite a bit like running away.
"Giggle~~~" Yueniang's clear laughter echoed in the middle of the river. It wasn't until A-Lan's back disappeared that she looked at Chang Yue and said, "Holy Lord Hanlu, please forgive me, it was just a joke."
Chang Yue shook her head, "It doesn't matter."
"Holy Lord, please follow me!"
After saying that, Yueniang led Changyue into a room with a graceful attitude. She invited Changyue to sit down and made tea for Changyue.
"Holy Master Hanlu, please wait a moment. A Lan has already gone to notify the city lord. I believe he will be here soon."
Changyue nodded and sat quietly in front of the window, sipping tea and admiring the scenery on the river bank.
"I have heard our Lord City Lord mention Holy Lord Hanlu a long time ago. Yueniang has always been yearning for him. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved." Yueniang is a talkative person. After sitting down, her words of praise came out as if they were free of charge.
About halfway through the incense stick, there was a slight movement outside. Not long after, Qi Guanheng pushed the door open and walked in. Naturally, his sister Qi Guanlong was with him.
There was no one else around today, so Qi Guanheng no longer wore his ghost-like mask.
Seeing Qi Guanheng and Qi Guanlong coming in, Yueniang quickly stood up and saluted, "City Lord, Mrs. Long."
Qi Guanheng nodded towards her, raised his hand to indicate that she didn't need to be polite and said: "Yue Niang, you go and do your work first. You don't need to accompany me here."
"Yes, then Yueniang will leave first." Yueniang nodded with a smile, and then bowed to Changyue and Qi Guanlong before exiting the room.
After Yue Niang left, Qi Guanlong walked up to Chang Yue with a smile, took her hand affectionately and said, "Holy Lord Hanlu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I have to trouble you again today."
Changyue shook her head and said: "Madam, you don't have to be polite, I am just being entrusted by others and doing something loyal!"
In essence, this is a deal between Bai Yi and Qi Guanheng, and Luo Qingyi is just the middleman.
Hearing this, Qi Guanlong said sincerely: "I have already heard from A'heng that you are very kind to Chun'er, which means you are kind to me. Besides, you and A'heng are now in a cooperative relationship, and we are not outsiders.
In this way, you can call me Sister Long or A-Long from now on, and I will call you Qingyi. As for A-Heng, you can call him whatever you want. "
Qi Guanlong drew her into the relationship with Chang Yue in just a few words. He was worthy of being a queen.
"Then... I will ask you to call you Sister Long, and the Lord of Qiguan City, Brother Heng."
Chang Yue does not object to establishing a good relationship with Qi Guanheng and Qi Guanlong. On the one hand, they are his apprentice's uncle and mother, and on the other hand, they are natural allies.
"Qingyi~~" Qi Guanlong happily took Chang Yue's hand to show his closeness.
Qi Guanheng also cupped his hands towards Chang Yue Gong, "I have the nerve to call Holy Lord Hanlu and give me a clear ripple!"
Qi Guanheng knew that everything he did was for his niece. Now the most powerful force standing behind his niece was Holy Lord Hanlu, or to be precise, her mysterious master.
But the master seemed to have no intention of showing up, so Lord Hanlu, the master's uncle, became the niece's closest elder.
He had already been to the Imperial Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and met Chun'er. During the conversation, he learned that Chun'er had absolute trust in her master.
This made Qi Guanheng understand that he must establish a good relationship with Holy Lord Hanlu and Chun'er's mysterious master, and now was the opportunity.
Since his sister took the lead, of course he had to climb along the pole.
After the three of them got close, Chang Yue said: "It's getting late, let's take a look at Sister Long's body first!"
As she spoke, she motioned Qi Guanlong to sit across from her and stretched out her hand to feel her pulse.
After a long time, seeing Chang Yue take back her hand, Qi Guanheng asked eagerly: "How?"
Changyue replied with a smile: "It seems that Sister Long has followed the doctor's instructions carefully, the Qianqiu Gu is stable, and Sister Long's injury has not worsened."
Hearing this, Qi Guanheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Great!"
Qi Guanlong patted his younger brother's arm and said, "Of course I have to follow the doctor's orders carefully. I haven't lived enough yet!"
Hearing Qi Guanlong's words, Chang Yue and Qi Guanheng couldn't help laughing, and for a while they felt that the relationship between the three of them was much closer.
"Then let's start the treatment. Brother Heng, it's inconvenient for you to be here, so go out first!" Chang Yue winked at Qi Guanheng.
"Yes, get out quickly, get out quickly!" Qi Guanlong pushed his brother out.
Qi Guanheng said helplessly: "Okay, I'll go out right now. You can treat the disease in peace. I'll stay outside and call me if you need anything!" After that, he turned around and left, and closed the door thoughtfully.
"Sister Long, let's get started!" Chang Yue said to Qi Guanlong when she came back.
"Okay, what should I do?" Qi Guanlong asked obediently, as if she was the younger one.
"Take off your clothes first. I have to give my sister acupuncture first." Changyue replied.
"Okay!" Qi Guanlong took off all his clothes without any shyness.
Changyue asked Qi Guanlong to lie down on the bed, and then took out a silver vase. She stretched out her hand, and silver needles flew out of the vase one after another.
Under Chang Yue's control, the silver needle quickly fell into Qi Guanlong's body, pricking into her acupuncture points, allowing all the energy in her body to gather into her Dantian.
Chang Yue's purpose of doing so was naturally to seal Qi Guanlong's true energy.
"Sister Long, open your mouth!"
After doing all this, Chang Yue spoke to Qi Guanlong.
Qi Guanlong didn't hesitate at all, immediately opened her red lips, and then a pill fell into her mouth.
The elixir melted in her mouth, and soon Qi Guanlong felt that she was in a trance. However, she did not fall asleep completely. She only felt that she was groggy and in a state of being about to wake up.
She didn't know how long this state lasted. During this period, she felt warm all over, as if she was soaking in a hot spring.
In fact, that was all Qi Guanlong's illusion. Changyue's treatment was aimed at her soul. She felt warm because her soul was constantly recovering under the nourishment of the air of creation, and it had nothing to do with her body.
I don't know how long it took, but Qi Guanlong slowly opened his eyes and found Chang Yue standing aside and looking at him with a smile.
"The treatment went well!" Changyue said to her with a smile, "Sister Long, you can feel it."
The Qianqiu Gu has also been taken out of Qi Guanlong's body.
Qi Guanlong's injuries have recovered, so Qianqiu Gu is naturally useless.
It's just a pity that such a precious Gu insect died the moment it left the body. What a waste!
"Thank you for your hard work, Qingyi!"
The light and comfortable feeling all over his body made Qi Guanlong realize that his injuries had really recovered.
Just when Qi Guanlong was about to get up, her expression changed and she quickly sat cross-legged on the bed.
Changyue said in surprise: "Sister Long, is she going to break through to the Zhoutian realm?"
Because of the Qianqiu Gu, the true energy in Qi Guanlong's body had been suppressed. Now that the Gu disappeared, the true energy was released and exploded.
Qi Guanlong kept turning his skills to the left to suppress the true energy, but the more he suppressed it, the more powerful the true energy became.
"Sister Long, are you okay?" Chang Yue asked with a frown.
"My true energy has begun to riot. If I cannot break through to the innate realm immediately, my Dantian may be damaged!" Qi Guanlong replied, but at this time she did not have the energy of heaven and earth that could be used to break through.
Chang Yue immediately understood her predicament, so she stretched out her hand and found a milky white swimming fish in her hand.
"go!"
She circulated her true energy and pushed, and the little fish swung its tail and got into Qi Guanlong's Dantian.
The moment the energy of heaven and earth entered her body, Qi Guanlong's rioting energy instantly calmed down, and at the same time, she also began to attack the innate realm.
"Sister Long, feel free to break through. Brother Heng and I will protect you!"
Chang Yue's voice rang in Qi Guanlong's ears, but Qi Guanlong had no time to respond and could only break through with peace of mind.
Qi Guanheng was waiting anxiously outside the door when he suddenly noticed that the surrounding Yuan Qi began to gather towards the painting boat, forming whirlpools after a while.
"This is..." He had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure.
Then Chang Yue opened the door and walked out.
"Qingyi, my sister..." Qi Guanheng quickly stepped forward to ask.
Changyue comforted him and said: "Don't worry, Sister Long is fine. She is breaking through the innate realm at this time, which is a blessing in disguise."
Breaking through the innate realm requires the precious source energy of heaven and earth. Qi Guanheng immediately guessed the source, so he solemnly raised his hands to Chang Yue and said:
"This kindness will be repaid generously one day!"
Chang Yue immediately looked at him with a straight face and said, "Brother Heng is out of sight, do you still want to be so polite to me?"
Qi Guanheng understood this and knew that Chang Yue was sincere in his friendship, so the expression on his face softened and he smiled in a friendly tone:
"Yes, it's because of my brother, no, I want to apologize to Qingyi!"
As he spoke, he smiled and cupped his hands towards Chang Yue.
The pseudo-siblings looked at each other and smiled.
Seeing more and more Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi gathering around him, Qi Guanheng fell into memories. In fact, his sister's cultivation talent was no worse than his. If it hadn't been for the disaster back then, his sister would have already reached the innate realm.
Maybe it would be my sister and not him who would recognize the master of the world of mortals at that time.
As time passed, strange phenomena began to appear around him, and the sky was filled with red clouds that seemed to be on fire.
The warriors coming and going in the black market were attracted by this scene, and they all looked to the sky in unison.
Someone with extraordinary knowledge said with envy: "This is someone making a breakthrough!"
Some people who didn't know about it said with astonishment on their faces: "How can everything change so easily on this good day?"
Suddenly someone pointed at the river and said, "Quick, look, there are peonies blooming in the river. What a strange thing!"
After hearing this, everyone looked towards the river one after another, and sure enough they saw graceful peonies blooming on the river one after another.
These peonies are not real peonies, but are anomalies produced when warriors break through to the innate realm. Therefore, when one peony blooms, another peony will quickly disappear, and the cycle repeats.
The scene of peonies blooming on the river is very spectacular, especially the boat in the middle of the river, which is almost completely covered with peonies.
Chang Yue and Qi Guanheng were suspended in the sky, quietly watching the situation of the boat.
Yueniang also stood on A-Lan's bamboo raft at this time. While paying attention to the situation of the boat, she winked at A-Lan, making A-Lan blush and bump into each other.
During Qi Guanlong's breakthrough, there were naturally some people with evil intentions who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
A warrior quietly waded into the river, wanting to go to the boat to see what happened and whether there was any treasure.
However, when he stepped into the water, his body suddenly exploded uncontrollably, turning into countless blood and pieces of flesh and falling into the river.
Click~~
Terrifying piranhas with mouths full of sharp teeth surfaced, and soon they devoured the flesh and blood that fell into the water.
"Those who come near will die!"
At this time, the voice of the Black Market Lord reached the ears of the onlookers from all directions.
Anyone who often hangs out in the black market can't help but recognize the voice of the master of the black market.
Finally, everyone calmed down, and no one dared to take a step further.
After an unknown amount of time, all the blooming peonies on the river suddenly disappeared, turning into petals that fluttered and fell with the wind. At the same time, the red clouds in the sky also suddenly disappeared.
Qi Guanheng said with joy on his face: "It's done!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Guanlong walked out of the boat with a smile on her face. The aura she exuded was truly innate. (End of chapter)
