Settling down in the Clear Snow Sect.
Qin Li left the seven-coloured pagoda and flew all the way away.
He was extremely fast, like thunder across the sky, and before the Nine Great Patriarchs could react, he was thousands of miles away.
After a small half day!
Qin Li then entered the boundary of the Earth Flame Sect.
As soon as he stepped into the place, he felt a warm breeze on his face, surrounded by flowers and greenery, a good place to cultivate his body and mind.
There was actually a sleeping volcano under the ground that continuously emitted temperature, making the area as spring-like in all seasons, while the cultivators of the Earth Flame Sect would make use of the constant stream of ground fire to melt ores for refining weapons.
“Cough cough cough!”
“This dark wound goes back and forth, annoying!”
Qin Li coughed a few more times, and his originally pale face actually gained a touch of waxy yellow, just like the colour of decaying trees, and if he didn’t treat it in time, he would definitely die a violent death on the spot.
Although Qin Li understood the terrible condition of his body, he was even more worried about his eighth grandfather’s well-being, he still asked Su Qingxue to help him look for it before slowly healing his wounds.
Soon!
He approaches a mountain cliff.
The cliff was a thousand feet high, with three majestic words painted in silver hooks and iron, Earth Flame Sect!
This was the mountain gate of the Earth Flame Sect, and there were a dozen Golden Immortal guards in front of it, patrolling back and forth, verifying and registering each and every entrant to the sect.
“Stop the comer!”
A few guards stopped in front of Qin Li.
“Where did the poor casual cultivator come from, is the Earth Flame Sect something you can come to!”
“Look at his sickly appearance, don’t die on us.”
“Hey! Don’t get lost yet, or else you’ll blame a few of us for being merciless.”
Qin Li let out a bitter smile, “I’m here to look for Su Qingxue, you guys inform us that it’s Gold seeking an audience.”
“Bold! How dare you call the Young Patriarch by his name.”A guard shouted angrily.
The remaining few guards scoffed, “Don’t even take a piss, with you being worthy of knowing the Young Patriarch, you still want us to inform, ridiculous.”
The guard captain guessed, “I think he is seriously injured, so he wants to catch a glimpse of the Young Patriarch’s amazing face before he dies. It’s a pity that the Young Patriarch is ice-clear and pure, we haven’t even seen her true face, so how can you, a casual cultivator, get a glimpse of the immortal face.”
Qin Li was amused, “If you guys don’t let go, I can only force my way in.”
At those words!
The faces of the crowd of guardians changed drastically.
“Still wanting to force your way in, you’re tired of living!”
Qin Li shook his head, silently exercising his sword qi, wanting to force his way in.
Suddenly!
A voice rang out.
“What are you guys arguing about, it’s a mess!”
A person flew in from afar, with a handsome face and dressed in white, it was none other than Gu Yanzhi.
“Greetings, Eldest Brother!”A few guards hurriedly saluted and explained, “This person wanted to see the Young Patriarch first, and he wanted to force his way in!”
Gu Yanzhi raised an eyebrow, carefully sizing up Qin Li, surprised, “So it’s you, haven’t seen you in a few days, you’ve become such a mess, I almost didn’t recognise you.”
“I want to see Su Qingxue.”Qin Li said.
Gu Yanzhi snorted a laugh, “Look at your demeanour, could it be that you want your senior sister to complete a wishing pact and save your life.”
Qin Li said indifferently, “I don’t need others to save my life, but I do have a small matter that I need Su Qingxue’s help with.”
“Hahaha!”
Gu Yanzhi sneered, “Thought you had something to offer when you went off in style that day. It turns out that you’re just a villain, and it’s only been a few days and you’ve come to the door, ready to hold a favour hostage. As the Earth Flame Sect’s Senior Brother, I will never allow people like you to come in. Get lost!”
Qin Li’s eyes turned cold, “Get out of the way!”
“What if I don’t allow it?”Gu Yanzhi sneered, displaying his Immortal Zun Third Grade cultivation, wanting to use his power to suppress others.
A fire rose in Qin Li’s heart, and he was about to make a move, touching the dark wound once again.
“Cough cough cough-”
This time, the coughing was extraordinarily violent, with blood continuously spilling from the corners of his mouth and his nostrils beginning to drip blood, a typical sign of exhaustion.
“Trouble!”Qin Li took out the Thousand-Year Peach Blossom Wine and drank it in one gulp, the strong medicinal power spreading out, moisturising his flesh and barely suppressing the dark injuries.
Gu Yanzhi laughed maniacally, “With this demeanour of yours, I’m afraid you won’t live through today, and you’re actually trying to force your way in.”
“Heh!”Qin Li’s face turned cold and he was already too lazy to speak nonsense, the golden light within his body surged and he was about to force his way out, searching for Su Qingxue.
At this time!
A familiar voice rang out.
“What are you doing, stop it for me!”
Two women flew in sharply from the distance, one dressed in white, her face covered in a white veil, floating like a fairy. There was also a woman with a small family, dressed in green.
“Senior Sister Su!”Gu Yanzhi’s face stiffened, knowing that things were in trouble.
Su Qingxue simply ignored him and rushed up with concern, “Mr Jin, your face looks so bad, you must have suffered a serious injury, I’ll take you to heal your wounds.”
Gu Yanzhi hurriedly blocked, “Senior Sister Su, he is a loose cultivator of unknown origin, how can he casually enter the sect.”
Su Qingxue clenched her teeth as she angrily said, “As a young sect master, do I not have this right? And you, Gu Yanzhi, knowing that Mister Jin is my saviour, you still injured him, so abominable!”
“Injustice! I didn’t even touch him.”Gu Yanzhi defended.
“Dare to do it, shame on you!”
Su Qingxue threw down a sentence and pulled Qin Li into the Earth Flame Sect.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I’m really sorry.”Zhao Lingzhi smiled awkwardly and followed over as well.
Gu Yanzhi’s face turned iron blue with anger as he said indignantly, “Damn it! Su Qingxue, you actually did this to me, and that Mr Jin, wait for me.”
Entering the Earth Flame Sect!
The three of them soon arrived at a beautiful peak.
It was lush and green, with tinkling springs and an abundance of spiritual energy, making it a good place for cultivation.
“Mr Jin, this is my peak, Clear Peak, no one will come over to disturb, so you can recuperate here.”Su Qingxue smiled like a flower.
Qin Li took a slow breath and said, “Miss Su, I came over this time to ask for your help with something.”
Su Qingxue let out a pout, “Mr Jin, didn’t you say so? Don’t be so formal, just call me Little Snow.”
“Little Snow, sorry to call you out of habit.”Qin Li smiled sarcastically.
Su Qingxue took out a side of a terracotta box and said, “Mr Jin, I have a healing herb here, take it over there and heal your injuries first, then we’ll talk about things.”
Qin Li nodded, he hadn’t expected the dark wound to deteriorate so quickly, it had to be treated as soon as possible, “Eh! This jade box is of warm jade texture, what kind of precious medicine is it that requires such a precious jade box.”
“Seventh grade Vermilion Phoenix Fruit!”
Su Qingxue slowly opened the warm jade box.
Immediately, the medicinal fragrance erupted out, causing the blood to surge. And within the jade box, quietly lay a fruit the size of a baby’s fist, crimson like blood, with feather patterns on it, like a phoenix feather.
“Miss, this is a life preserving item given to you by the Patriarch, how can you give it to ……” Zhao Lingzhi was shocked, the Zhu Feng Fruit is a natural elixir, it can be taken directly, it is a top level healing holy fruit, comparable to a fifth grade healing elixir.
Su Qingxue glanced at her coldly, “Lingzhi, Mr Jin is our saviour, now that he is seriously injured, how could I be stingy!”
“Forget it, the Vermilion Phoenix Fruit is too precious.”Qin Li politely refused.
“Mr Jin, just take it!”
Su Qingxue stepped forward and shoved the jade box into Qin Li’s hands.
The jade box that Qin Li grasped also accidentally grasped Su Qingxue’s delicate jade hand, polished like jade, soft like water, as if it was boneless.
“Mr Jin ……,” Su Qingxue’s pretty face flushed, and did not take the initiative to break free.
“Dare to slight my young lady.”
Zhao Lingzhi became anxious and rushed up as soon as she could, forcibly separating the two.
Qin Li recalled the touch just now and was surprised, “Little Snow, your hands are so cold, this is not a good phenomenon.”
Su Qingxue explained, “It should be the Yin Underworld Flame, which contains terrifying energy, after I refined it, I rushed from Immortal Lord Seventh Grade to Immortal Lord Ninth Grade in one fell swoop, so my physique has been affected a bit, causing my hands and feet to be ice-cold, a minor issue only.”
“Oh!”Qin Li came to a sudden realisation.
Su Qingxue couldn’t help but touch the place that had just been stroked by Qin Li as she greeted, “Mister Jin, don’t just stand there, I’ll arrange a superior cave for you.”
Not a moment later!
Qin Li stayed in a spacious cave residence.
After Su Qingxue explained a few words, she left with Zhao Lingzhi.
“Troubling someone else this time!”Qin Li swallows the Vermilion Phoenix Fruit in one gulp, and a warm medicinal power spreads out, instantly suppressing the dark injuries and causing a trace of redness to appear on his miserable white face.
“The Vermilion Phoenix Fruit’s medicinal power is strong, but it’s ultimately not a Sixth Grade Healing Pill, but it did allow me to regain some of my strength, so I can open the furnace to make pills.”
Qin Li took out the Third Grade Flying Flower Furnace, then took out a large number of precious Sixth Grade treasure medicines, all of which he got from the Flying Star Treasure Vault, enough to refine several Life Renewal Green Pills.
