Chapter 269

The sun was setting in the west, and a round scarlet sun was hanging in the clear sky of the West Mountain.

On a secluded path in the wilderness, three horses were trotting slowly. The red sun in the west cast a long shadow on them. They were Qin Shiyue, Ying Fei and Zhang Xiaohua.

It had been a few days since the massacre in Xinji Town. Ying Fei's injury had already recovered. The poisonous arrow pierced through his left arm, but it didn't hurt the bone. The arrow poison was cleaned up in time, but it was thoroughly cleaned by the town's doctor. The medicine used was also from the Dragon God Sect. How could there be no improvement?

Zhang Xiaohua was still weak, and he followed the two people absent-mindedly. In these days, he had completely abandoned the idea of using Lightness Skill to escape. Qin Shiyue's decisiveness in killing left a deep impression on him. Before he had full confidence, he would not repeatedly challenge Qin Shiyue's bottom line. Although Qin Shiyue had said that he would take him back to the Sect Leader in one piece, who knew if he would change his mind?

It was better to just practice martial arts.

Since Zhang Xiaohua knew the reason for the disappearance of Immortality and the rise of Martial Arts in the Ma Family, and also knew the difference between Immortality and Martial Arts, he knew that he was lucky. He accidentally walked on the road of Immortality, which no one had walked on for thousands of years. Moreover, after seeing the power of Immortality's tactical formation, he was more confident in himself. As long as he had time, he would comprehend the Earth Escaping Skill. He believed that as long as he could learn the Earth Escaping Skill, he would be able to escape from Qin Shiyue's evil hands.

Zhang Xiaohua also knew that the tripod furnace he took from Xicui Mountain should be the furnace used for Immortality's alchemy. It was something that the Sect Leader of the Dragon God Sect wanted. As for how to use the furnace, he really didn't have time to look at it. Not to mention that there was a lot of content in the Elementary Alchemy Technique, and now he didn't have time to comprehend it. If he took out the furnace, he might alarm Qin Shiyue. It was better to avoid trouble. Why should he be anxious now?

Moreover, he felt that it was incredible that using elixirs could improve his power. How could a small elixir improve his cultivation so much?

Could it double the Qi of Heaven and Earth in his body?

That was simply impossible.

She remembered that there was something called the "Qi Generating Pill" in the money pouch. It seemed to have been thrown away without any regard. Presumably, it wasn't anything good. Zhang Xiaohua also lacked interest in the idea of trying it out herself.

Also, after seeing the power of the Immortal Dao Formation, Zhang Xiaohua really wanted to make some kind of formation to trap Qin Shiyue and Ying Fei. However, she didn't have any formation flags or incantations. She only had a shallow Zhen Qi and a huge Primordial Stone. It was impossible to make it a reality, so she just threw it aside.

From the beginning to the end, Ma Rulong didn't mention how to fight in Taoism. He only said that there was the power to summon wind and rain and move mountains and seas. His words made Zhang Xiaohua's blood boil, but she only painted a pie for him. Although there was a jade ring in the money pouch that should be a magic weapon, she didn't know how to use it. Even if she knew how to use it, could the jade ring still be used after ten thousand years?

Everything was unknown. Zhang Xiaohua looked blankly at the red sun in the distance that was about to set behind the mountain. It was about to be engulfed by darkness. Everything in this world was about to fall into darkness. She couldn't see the road ahead clearly. What about her own road?

There hadn't been the Immortal Dao for ten thousand years. She actually received the inheritance of the Immortal Dao and cultivated the Immortal Dao Cultivation Method. There was no one to guide her, no reference, and no one to point out her own way. Everything had to rely on her own strength. Loneliness, loneliness, powerlessness, and other negative emotions constantly grew in her heart.

However, just as Zhang Xiaohua was dispirited, the setting sun finally fell below the cliff. Even when its last ray of sunlight left the world, it was still so brilliant and glorious. The last ray of sunlight reflected in the lonely youth's eyes seemed to "soar" and ignite the youth's fighting spirit. There are so many living things in the world, but only I have such a situation. Why do I see the Immortal Dao as a bumpy road?

Since the revival of the Immortal Dao chose me, why should I hide?

I will do my best, I will do my best, and there will be a new me.

Thinking about this, the scenery at the side of the mountain didn't feel dark. She also didn't feel uncomfortable in this captive situation. Zhang Xiaohua understood something in her heart and her cultivation improved again. Since the last time she suffered from qi deviation, Zhang Xiaohua carefully comprehended the Worry-Free Heart Sutra from beginning to end. At the end of the Heart Sutra, it mentioned the cultivation of the state of mind. However, the cultivation of the state of mind shouldn't be a bottleneck in the Qi Refining stage. It was strange that she encountered it again and again.

Moreover, she also knew that every time she encountered an enlightenment in her heart, her cultivation of the state of mind would improve by another level. As long as she had primeval stones in her hands, her cultivation would naturally be able to keep up. She wouldn't have to worry about the risk of qi deviation again.

This was a good thing. Zhang Xiaohua unconsciously revealed a smile.

At this time, in the distance, the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away. It was very abrupt.

Zhang Xiaohua frowned. Her divine sense spread out like a net, but there didn't seem to be anything abnormal in the surroundings. Ying Fei also urged her horse forward and asked, "Lord Qin, what's the matter with the people in front?

Why don't you let this little one go forward and take a look? "

Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "They must be people from the Righteous Dao Alliance. Let's go forward and take a look. If there's fortune, it's not a disaster. If there's a disaster, we can't avoid it. In this vast wilderness, it's the easiest to escape. There's no need to be afraid of them."

After traveling for a while, they didn't see any movement. Zhang Xiaohua also didn't understand. The main road was right in front of them. Looking at the lights in front of them, it was already a small village. It wasn't a good opportunity to make a move. Why was this?

When Qin Shiyue arrived at the main road, there was another person on the main road who saw them from afar. He also quickly got on his horse and galloped away. The three of them looked at each other. They didn't know why, but although they were already on the main road, if there was an ambush, it would still be troublesome. Thus, they were 675% careful.

Unfortunately, even when they entered the small village, they still didn't encounter any ambushes.

Instead, just as they entered the village, there were several people waiting there. A white and fat person dressed as a shopkeeper came forward and bowed, "Excuse me, are you Lord Qin and Lord Ying in front?"

Ying Fei went forward and said, "It's us. What's the matter?"

The innkeeper said, "This one is the innkeeper of this town's largest inn, the Four Seas Inn. There's an uncle who has already booked a banquet and a room for Uncle Qin and the others. Please follow this one over."

Zhang Xiaohua was flabbergasted. There was actually such a good thing?

Although Qin Shiyue was also flabbergasted, he wasn't surprised. When Ying Fei looked at him, he casually waved his hand, indicating that he agreed. The shopkeeper received the message and was very happy. He personally went forward to lead Qin Shiyue's horse and respectfully walked forward. Ying Fei and Zhang Xiaohua's horses were also led by other people. Zhang Xiaohua had never received this kind of treatment before and enjoyed it very much. As for what the shopkeeper was planning, he didn't care. He was just a captive of the Tenryū Sect. Even if there were any schemes and plots, it wouldn't be his turn to do it.

Not long after, they came to a large inn. It was brightly lit and there was no one eating in the hall. A few waiters were waiting at the door. When they saw the shopkeeper return, they quickly went to receive him. Qin Shiyue and the others dismounted and walked into the hall. There was a large table in the hall with some dried fruits on it. Qin Shiyue and the others sat down and the waiters immediately poured tea. Ying Fei reached into his clothes to take the tea leaves but was stopped by Qin Shiyue with a look. Qin Shiyue picked up the teacup and carefully looked at it. He smelled it and tasted it. It was really good tea. There wasn't any poison in it and this fragrant tea didn't seem like something that could be found in this town.

Not long after the three sat down, they didn't need to order food. The delicacies were served like flowing water. They had been prepared long ago and were just waiting for the three to arrive. Looking at the table full of things that he had never seen or heard of before, Zhang Xiaohua was dumbfounded. Who was so generous?

However, he had an urge to eat immediately.

He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Shiyue who was cooking. Qin Shiyue also frowned.

Qin Shiyue wasn't surprised by the rarity of these things. He was a famous person in the Tenryū Sect. What good things had he not seen before?

It was just that these things couldn't be found in this small town. Thinking about the fragrant tea just now, the reason was self-evident. It must have been prepared long ago from other places.

Thinking of this, Qin Shiyue also let down his guard. If the Righteous Alliance wanted to harm him, why would they spend so much effort?

They could just directly kill their way to his door. Who would want to curry favor with him? Qin Shiyue gradually had some ideas. Seeing Ying Fei and Zhang Xiaohua looking at him with eager eyes, Qin Shiyue couldn't help but secretly smile. He said, "Eat. This must be the master's good intentions. Don't let him down."

After that, he first picked up a piece of camel hump and put it into his mouth, carefully tasting it.

Ying Fei, as the messenger of the Tenryū Sect, was served with good wine and good meat everywhere he went. These days, he was injured and had to worry about the attack of the Righteous Alliance. Naturally, he was lacking in food. Seeing such a good meal, he was also happy and kept eating this and that.

As for Zhang Xiaohua, there was no need to talk about him in detail. He almost ate his own tongue.

Not only that, there was a white porcelain jug on the table. The wine poured out from the jug was amber colored. The mellow fragrance overflowed. Even Zhang Xiaohua, who had never drunk wine before, couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Ying Fei was injured, so Qin Shiyue poured three cups for him. As for Zhang Xiaohua, Qin Shiyue used the excuse that he was underage and let him drink half a cup. The rest was left to Qin Shiyue.

Even if it was only half a cup, Zhang Xiaohua was still very happy. He was just a prisoner. Qin Shiyue gave him a drink. It was the result of many days of interaction. How could he dare to have extravagant expectations?

They ate to their heart's content and ate until the moon rose. Then, they saw the fair and fat shopkeeper walk in with a smile on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Qin, Master Ying, young master, may I ask if the food is to your liking?"
