Tong Xiangyu didn't know how she returned to Juxian Inn. She only knew that she fell asleep in a daze after taking nine lotus seeds.
When he woke up, he was already in Juxian Inn.
When Tong Xiangyu woke up, Qu Wuming was sitting cross-legged on a futon, contemplating the few jade slips obtained from Dongweicheng. Seeing that Tong Xiangyu had woken up, he opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "Are you awake? How do you feel?"
"How does it feel?" Tong Xiangyu was startled, and she subconsciously looked down at her clothes. Seeing that she was still neatly dressed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But in the next moment, he found that his consciousness seemed to have penetrated the barrier between clothes and body, and he could actually "see" the blood vessels, muscles, internal organs, and even many large and small organs densely distributed throughout the body. The mysterious pipeline made me startled.
"If you take the ninth-grade Golden Lotus, you will be completely transformed."
Qu Wuming seemed to have expected this. He stood up and walked over and said, "Besides, that is the ninth-grade golden lotus from the true immortal world. Even if it has been reborn after suffering an almost devastating blow, it is far from ten thousand." The products produced in Fang Realm are comparable. Although you have been sleeping for more than thirty days, you have crossed the Qi Refining Stage in one step and achieved the foundation building stage. Fellow Taoist Tong, congratulations!"
"Ah?!" Tong Xiangyu didn't expect that she would become a monk in the foundation building stage after just one sleep. In addition to being surprised, she also felt even more grateful to Qu Wuming - if Qu Wuming hadn't wanted to do it intentionally, what happened to the nine lotus seeds? All of them will fall into your own mouth. Tong Xiangyu got up and got out of bed, Yingying bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Qu, for Xiangyu to have such an adventure!"
"You and I can be regarded as partners who have experienced life and death, so there is no need to be so polite. Now you have the cultivation level of the early stage of foundation building, but you don't know any magic application skills. In the following days, I will teach you a few skills that are suitable for you. How's the technique?"
"Then there's Brother Laoqu!" Tong Xiangyu bowed slightly as a gift. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head with a sigh, his pretty face flushed, and he stared into Qu Wuming's eyes and said, "However, before practicing, I want to give Brother Qu a good reward..." After saying that, he stood up on tiptoes and gave him a hug. He held Qu Wuming's neck and pressed his red lips on Qu Wuming's lips...
After several days, the two of them left the Juxian Inn, found a secluded and beautiful valley far away, and opened a cave to live there. Every day, they were either guided by Qu Wuming to practice or practiced swordsmanship in the valley. , like a couple of gods and goddesses...

"Okay! I've finished telling the story about Tianjizi and I." Qu Wuming picked up a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp, and said with a long breath.
Of course, although many past events had just been recalled, not all of them were shared - what Qu Wuming talked about were only some things related to Tianjizi and some other rumors he learned later.
"Having said so much, I just want to remind you that Tianjizi may seem to act as he pleases, but every move is based on a plan. If you deal with him again in the future, you must be more careful." Qu Wuming reminded again.
"Thank you for the reminder, brother! We must be careful in the future." Han Tian said hurriedly.
"However, his divination skills are not omnipotent." Qu Wuming saw Han Tian and others' solemn faces, as if they were worried about what he said, so he laughed and said, "At least someone like me has the blessing of heaven." The person who is blessed by Yuan' can't predict my affairs in advance."
"Heavenly blessing?"
"I have also checked a lot of information over the years, and I have some understanding of the source of blessings from the way of heaven." Qu Wuming explained, "Everyone knows that the way of heaven is the rule. Those who follow the way of heaven will make up for the excess of losses. , there is a cause before, and there is a result after. If there is a loss, there must be a gain. Among all living beings, why are some people born with a miserable life, and why are some people happy with everything? It is all because there is reincarnation in the universe. Although it may not interfere with it. Specific things, but some people are born with deep blessings, and if they do things with divine help, it is due to the blessing of heavenly blessings. If they are not maintained and the blessings are dispersed, they may fall into ruin and never recover."
"Based on my understanding of Tianjizi, the way he looks at you four today is the same as the way he looked at me and Tong Xiangyu back then. No, it's not exactly the same - I feel like he seems to be looking forward to your future. ." Qu Wuming looked at Han Tian, Yun Feng and others, paused and then said, "I am 80% sure in my heart, that is, he may not be able to see your future clearly, but he knows that he will definitely be there. Someday in the future something will happen to you."
Yun Feng smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "When Brother Qu said this, why do I feel like 'I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm just afraid that thieves will miss me'?"
"Besides, it seems that being cared about by such a being is not a good thing." Sheng Siyuan added from the side.
"Who's to say what will happen in the future?" Qu Wuming said with a smile, "Relax your mind and practice hard to improve yourself. Who cares? If you are strong enough, anyone who tries to challenge you is asking for death. Lu, why are you still afraid of him?"
"Brother Qu is right! Come on, I'll give you a toast to Brother Qu!" Sikong Ying'er said, picking up the wine glass.
"Come on, cheers!"
Although it experienced an unexpected twists and turns, the Yun family's birthday banquet became more lively. The birthday banquet, which was originally planned to last only two hours, unexpectedly extended from noon to evening. The Yun family specially invited the best kabuki from Changqing City to add a banquet, and then the whole party was lively. The birthday banquet is over.
Qu Wuming intended to make friends with Han Tian, Yun Feng and others, so he did not regard himself as an outsider. In addition to chatting and laughing with Han Tian and Yun Feng, he also gave the ancestors of the Yun family enough face. Zhan, don’t refuse anyone who comes, it’s so lively.
After the dinner, the ancestor of the Yun family, Han Tian and others wanted to persuade him to stay, but Qu Wuming declined everyone's kindness. Before leaving, Qu Wuming took Han Tian aside, quietly gave him a jade slip, and said via voice transmission: "Good brother, I will give you a good thing!"
"This is this?" Han Tian held the jade slip in his hand and asked.
"This exercise is called "Daohe Brajue". I got it in Dongwei City back then. It seems to come from a mysterious sect called Brahma Sect. It is indeed an excellent dual cultivation exercise! I see you and Ying My son and sister seem to like each other well, keep it well, it will be useful one day in the future, haha..."
Han Tian's cheeks were on fire at Qu Wuming's words, and he hurriedly sent a message to tell the difference: "Brother, I'm afraid I've misunderstood, we haven't..."
"Hey, hey, no need to explain! Brother is here, can't you tell that you two are so thoughtful?" Qu Wuming smiled and said through the voice, "Miss Ying'er is a nice girl, you have to treat her well. She is the one! And ah, some things can't be delayed. If you should act early, you should act early. Don't procrastinate and harp like a girl. If one day the meat in your mouth flies off, there is no way in this world. I regret selling the medicine!”
"What the elder brother taught you is..." Han Tian's ears started to feel a little hot as he listened. Fortunately, he was still drunk at this time, and his face was already flushed.
"Okay, we have to say goodbye after a long journey. Everyone, Qu is taking his leave! We will see you later!" Qu Wuming patted Han Tian on the shoulder, turned around and hugged everyone, laughed and turned to leave.
The Liu family, who went to the birthday banquet of the ancestor of the Yun family to disrupt the situation, became a stepping stone for the Yun family to monopolize Changqing City and expand outward due to the destruction of its core strength. It was uprooted by several other small forces in Changqing City. From then on, it was regarded as a "letter of surrender" given to the Yun family. With Tianjizi's foreshadowing, even the city lord's palace in Changqing City turned a blind eye to this and never interfered.
How the Yun family in Changqing City will develop in the future is not mentioned elsewhere.
…
Qu Wuming left in the night. Instead of taking the usual shuttle, he took out a flying sword and walked on the sword to ride the wind among the high mountains.
In Changqing City, the story of the vast desert has long been told, but Tong Xiangyu's beautiful figure still lingers in Qu Wuming's heart and cannot be dissipated for a long time.
"I don't know what is happening to that girl now... The last time I heard about her, it seemed that she had joined Peach Blossom Valley like Han Ling'er. Let's go and visit her when we have the chance." Qu Wuming thought silently in his heart. Su also slowed down involuntarily, "It's a pity that the place where Ling'er was buried can no longer go. Even if you want to go there to pay homage, you can't easily do it."
Qu Wuming was thinking a lot, flying slowly among the mountains, letting the cold night wind blow over his face, blowing away his drunkenness.
I don't know how long it took, but Qu Wuming accidentally discovered that there seemed to be clouds and mist lingering in a valley not far away.
"Huh? Someone opened a cave in front?"
Qu Wuming naturally recognized the clouds and mist that did not appear to be naturally formed at a glance. That cloud and mist is just some of the most common trace restrictions. It is not to prevent monks from invading the cave, but to prevent ordinary people from entering by mistake and being harmed by the real defensive restrictions behind it. If an ordinary person strays into this heavy fog, he will be sent out after taking only a few steps, just like a ghost breaking through a wall.
Qu Wuming was thoughtful at this moment and didn't want to get into trouble. He hurriedly urged the flying sword under his feet to turn around, trying to bypass the valley.
Unexpectedly, before Qu Wuming's flying sword could escape, a cold light suddenly shot out from the fog in the valley, heading straight for Qu Wuming!
Qu Wuming frowned slightly, not feeling how murderous the cold light was, so he raised his hand and waved a small black shield, blocking the cold light with a clang.
"Yo? Who do I think you are? It turns out to be that ruthless hero Qu Wuming? What, you want to run away if you don't come in and sit down when you pass by my cave?" A woman's voice floated from far away in the valley. .
When Qu Wuming heard this, a smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to answer, a figure shot out from the valley. Judging from the aura emanating from that person, he probably looked like he was in the late Nascent Soul stage.
The figure was slim and graceful, with long silver hair dancing in the wind. Behind him was a double-faced witch that was more than two feet tall.
Looking from a distance, I saw the witch's appearance wearing a purple-gold battle armor. Under a helmet with four sharp horns, a head with two faces on the front and back was rotating back and forth from time to time. It looked extremely strange... …
