After facing each other in silence for a moment, Jiutian Xuannv became more and more anxious, her soul was turbulent in her body, and she didn't know where to go. Bixiazi noticed something strange about her master, and sighed helplessly, turning her head to look at Lang Jun, with a look of pleading in her eyes. Shen Yuanqiong knew what she wanted without saying anything. In fact, this was the purpose of his trip. He gestured to Bixiazi to make her own decision and not to consider him.
Bixiazi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, looking back at the master, her expression turned solemn. She stretched out her hand, slowly opened her palm, held up a round golden ball, and shook it back and forth, full of spirituality. As if struck by lightning, Jiutian Xuannv stood motionless on the spot. She instinctively sensed that the golden elixir was of great benefit to her. When she was about to reach out to grab it, her fingertips were still half a foot away, but she stopped abruptly.
The soul rushed left and right, shouting, Jiutian Xuannv's face was twisted in pain, and she retracted her hand little by little. Bixiazi was wondering why the master was so afraid of the golden elixir and didn't even want to touch it. What on earth was she worried about? Xuannv stepped back step by step, slowly squatting on the ground, curling up into a ball, holding her head in her hands, unwilling to raise her head to take another look. Shen Yuanqiong guessed in his mind that the Nine Heavens Xuannv had a bad fate and unfortunately became an alien. The golden elixir was a great tonic for the monks, but it was a great poison to her and she couldn't bear it at all.
Bixiazi sighed quietly, and the hope that arose in her heart was extinguished like a spark. After thinking about it, she simply handed the golden elixir to Lang Jun and ignored it. Shen Yuanqiong put away the golden elixir and said comfortingly: "It is not easy to be reborn after a disaster. If you want to do something for her, you might as well catch some monsters to feed her. She likes to eat flesh and blood and is not afraid of raw and cold food. This is the best thing for her."
Bixiazi's heart moved, and she blurted out: "The monster eel from before... was left by the mountain stream on purpose by you!"
Shen Yuanqiong nodded slightly. The flesh and blood of the Demon King was hard to come by, so he left the internal organs behind. As a result, Jiutian Xuannv could not restrain her eagerness and showed her signs under the noses of Bixiazi and Qingjingzi. He looked at Xuan Nu, who was huddled up, and said cheerfully: "Eat meat and drink soup, just take what you need, but almost all the sea monsters around here have been killed, and there are only enough shrimp soldiers and crab generals left to fill the gap between your teeth..." "
Bixiazi pondered for a moment and said: "Fellow Taoist Qingjingzi has collected medicinal materials and traveled all over the overseas islands. He probably has an idea of where the sea monster appears. If something happens here, you might as well invite him to accompany you."
Shen Yuanqiong said: "The golden elixir is very powerful and difficult to refine. Hiding in the city and staying safely in Pingchuan City is the best choice at the moment. Taking half of his elixir can be regarded as clearing up the balance. This If you can't bear to do this, just ask around slowly. At the worst, if you go to the Rakshasa King's capital, someone will definitely know the whereabouts of the Kraken."
Bixiazi glanced at Xuannv subconsciously and hesitated: "Then... what should Master do?"
Shen Yuanqiong said: "Stay here for now, and come back to find her when you and I leave. The yin energy maintains the body and suppresses the soul. Although she is confused now, she still has a trace of clarity in her heart, but she may not be able to hold on for too long. It is necessary to think of a safe way as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later, and once the Yin Qi counterattacks, the consequences will be disastrous."...
Bixiazi's heart tightened, and she raised her brows and thought about it for a long time. She couldn't think of anything and could only sigh.
The two of them turned back to Shimen Peak. Qingjing Ziwu was meditating and refining the power of the medicine without even changing his posture. After sitting cross-legged for three days and nights, he woke up from his trance. The joints all over his body crackled like fried beans, from soft to loud, and then from loud to soft again. He repeated the technique nine times before putting away the technique. The golden elixir is roughly refined by the secret method and is hidden in the Dantian. Others cannot detect it and cannot take it away. He stood up and thanked Mi and his wife without mentioning the other golden elixir. He suggested returning to Pingchuan City first and then making long-term plans.
Shen Yuanqiong and Bixiazi had no objections, and the three of them immediately set off and returned to Pingchuan City over the mountains and ridges. Hao Luo was looking forward to seeing his master return safely, and a stone fell in his heart. He was uneasy these days, fearing that the Allied Forces of the Yaksha Nation would return and the city wall would collapse, leaving Pingchuan City undefended. How could he alone turn the tide? Fortunately, none of this happened. There were three masters sitting in the city, so he could sleep peacefully without having to worry anymore.
Qingjingzi went to rest in the city lord's mansion. Shen Yuanqiong and Bixiazi returned to the courtyard in the south of the city. Yueya'er hurriedly came out to greet them and ordered Xia Fen to hold a family banquet to welcome the master. Shen Yuanqiong was chewing medicinal herbs and grilling sea monsters on Shimen Peak. Birds had long faded out of his mouth, and the taste of fine wine and food lingered on the tip of his tongue, making people intoxicated. Bixiazi saw it in her eyes, with a faint smile on her lips.
Lang Jun poured wine, served dishes, and had a few drinks with him.
Seeing that the two masters were in a good mood, Yue Ya'er took the time to mention that Hu Kuidou sent people to inquire about the news every now and then. The pills he left that day had long been taken. If Wild Ginseng is free, he will personally come to thank them and invite them to stay and relax in Hu Mansion in the north of the city.
Hu Kuidou is one of the most wealthy merchants in Pingchuan City. His medicinal herb business is spread all over the overseas islands and even across the ocean. He even has his business name in Daxia. He can be said to have great hands and eyes, and he probably knows the whereabouts of the Kraken. Shen Yuanqiong slowly drank the wine in the glass and told Yue Ya'er to prepare the carriage early tomorrow morning and go to Hu Mansion in the north of the city. If there was no shortage of all the main and auxiliary medicinal materials, he would mix some pills for Hu Kui.
Bi Xiazi didn't interrupt and let Lang Jun make his decision. Yue Ya'er was overjoyed when she heard this and agreed. She thought about sending a message to Hu Mansion first to prepare a few things in advance.
The moon was shining brightly on the branches, and Shen Yuanqiong and Bixiazi went to the inner room to rest. Yue Yaer called Banxia to clean up the remaining mats, and took the time to go outside the courtyard. Before she could say hello, Yue Sao'er hurriedly came forward to greet her. It turned out that the news of the three masters' return to Pingchuan City had already reached Hu Mansion. Hu Kui ordered Yue Sao'er to rush to the south of the city and wait outside the other courtyard. He would not leave at all. If that night There was no reply. Early the next morning, he was really ready to come to the door in person and sincerely invite him.
Yue Ya'er climbed up a high branch by chance, and Yue Shao'er was quite envious. However, Hu Kuidou confided in them, and she asked herself, she couldn't abandon them like Yue Ya'er did. But she didn't resent it. Yue Ya'er was Yue Ya'er, and Yuesao'er was Yuesao'er. Although they felt like sisters, they had different temperaments after all. Besides, having Yue Ya'er's line was also a good thing for the master.
Yuesao'er listened to the care and solemnly thanked Yue Ya'er. There was a hint of vagueness in her words and gestures. Yue Ya'er smiled and talked, as if he didn't notice, watching her hurried away, feeling calm in her heart. They had already parted ways, each heading towards a different destiny. She didn't know whether her choice would have good results, but when the opportunity came, if she didn't seize it tightly, she would definitely regret it.
