Behind the bamboo grove, a small bridge spans a flowing stream, and a bamboo house stands amidst verdant greenery. Six people are already seated.
Two of the girls are beautiful and have outstanding figures.
The old man stood by, smiling apologetically as he tried to appease the bruised and battered young man:
"Alright, Young Master Yun Chuan, we were the ones who offended him first. Now we're even, okay?"
"Even...even? How is that even? I didn't even touch him! At most, I just startled him! He beat me up like this! When has our Yunlan Sect ever suffered such a loss!"
Nalan Yanran gave him a cold look: "Enough, shut up. I said we're even, so we're even." She
then turned to stare at Su Qingyun again, her face full of infatuation, and couldn't help but ask with concern:
"Are you alright? Did they hurt you? You just used your battle qi, are you tired? How about I give you a massage? Your battle qi is different from anything I've ever seen before, it's so beautiful. Maybe this is what they mean by 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'~"
The young man with the bruised face looked at the two boys opposite him with a hint of fear, then looked at Nalan Yanran with some resentment, almost wanting to vomit blood.
What was he tired of! He had been watching the whole thing, he had only used some strange battle qi! "I'm the one who's tired, okay?!
And you're spouting cheesy nonsense! What do you take me for, the one who traveled all the way from Yunlan Sect to Wutan City with you?!"
Yun Chuan couldn't understand how he, a dignified five-star Dou Zhe, could be beaten up by a guy with only third-stage Dou Qi.
It was utterly laughable; the entire Yunlan Sect would laugh at him to death!
He couldn't understand even more why his Dou Techniques had suddenly failed, and why he had lost control of his Dou Qi.
One of the two youths was also full of doubt, looking at his fists and the axe he used for chopping wood: "
I... I almost killed a five-star Dou Zhe?!" "Brother Qingyun's Dou Qi... is so powerful! I knew it, Brother Qingyun isn't an ordinary person!"
Su Qingyun wasn't surprised by this result at all; he had long known that his Immortal Dou Qi had this effect.
Immortal Dou Qi surpassed ordinary Dou Qi, and since most Dou Techniques carried elemental attributes, they were naturally easily neutralized by Immortal Dou Qi, which possessed the power to encompass and absorb all elements.
In other words, unless you've reached the Dou Shi realm or higher and possess the ability to condense Qi into liquid, you'll be completely countered by the Immortal Qi!
However, Su Qingyun, who had just broken through, didn't actually have much Immortal Qi. It was also because Yun Chuan was encountering this transcendent Dou Qi for the first time and didn't react in time, leaving him powerless to fight back.
Otherwise, if they had dragged it out until Su Qingyun exhausted his Immortal Qi, he would have had a chance to win.
"Alright, I'm not an unreasonable person. You've fought back, so I won't make things difficult for you. You should leave the valley as soon as possible; we still have things to do,"
Su Qingyun said calmly.
He estimated that once Xiao Yan absorbed the two Dou Qi herbs he had given him, Yao Lao's soul should be able to awaken.
Once his own strength increased, he should also leave the mountain.
As for Nalan Yanran, it wasn't appropriate to have too much interaction with her for the time being. If she attracted the attention of Yun Shan and the Soul Palace, things would get messy.
However, these words immediately caused Nalan Yanran's expression to change, and she stood up from the bamboo stool.
Leave?
How could she leave? "
She's not leaving!
She even wants to stay and settle down here!
"
Nalan Yanran said gently, which surprised Su Qingyun.
Good heavens! Is this the same Nalan Yanran who stubbornly insisted on breaking off the engagement with the Xiao family? Can she really be this gentle?
A good disciple? A good disciple who wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on breaking off the engagement?
Capable… cough cough, really? How capable is she?
Xiao Xun'er's eyes widened, filled with a sense of crisis:
Shameless! She's clearly trying to cling to my Qingyun brother! This is a bad woman!
What do you mean by "capable"?! You're definitely itching!
If you're itching, go home and scratch it yourself! Do you expect Qingyun brother to help you?
I'm itching too! I haven't even had Qingyun brother do it yet!
Where's Ling Ying? Where's Ling Ying? Get out there and throw this slut out!!! Ahhh!
"
...Ahead lies that mountain stream. I saw it with my own eyes not long ago. The entire mountain peak was shrouded in white, ethereal energy, and there was even a celestial dragon soaring into the sky, with cranes dancing among the clouds.
It was truly astonishing, the most I've ever seen in my life! My goodness! I've had my eyes opened!"
Several farmers led the way, and accompanied by the elders and deacons of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, and others arrived at Luoxian Stream.
This was because the extraordinary phenomena caused by Su Qingyun's control over the celestial energy were so dazzling that people from the surrounding villages for miles around were amazed.
As one farmer pointed towards Luoxian Stream, his eyes shone with excitement:
"The mountain is auspicious, heavenly light has descended! This year must be a blessed year. I hope for a bountiful harvest. After paying the clan tax, I'll have a few gold coins left, so I can buy some new clothes for the girls at home."
"Thank you, fellow farmers. This is your reward."
Xiao Zhan took out a few gold coins and handed them to the farmers. They accepted them, thanking him profusely, their simple, earthy faces beaming with smiles.
Although Wutan City was a large city, with living conditions much better than many smaller cities, ordinary farmers earned less than ten gold coins a year. How could they not be happy to receive several gold coins for simply guiding the way?
"This place... seems familiar."
"Elder, this is Luoxianjian, the place where a mysterious Dou Wang-level expert is said to live in seclusion? Even the Obama family and the Jialie family dare not approach it."
"Could that strange phenomenon earlier have been the sound of this Dou Wang expert breaking through his bottleneck? I wonder what level Dou Wang this mysterious expert is now?"
The Xiao family members all looked at Luoxianjian and pondered.
The Xiao family's elder frowned upon hearing the name Luoxianjian. A few years ago, his granddaughter, Xiao Yu, had come here, but after returning, she seemed to be bewitched by something, insisting that she had a dream.
She dreamed that in a place shrouded in immortal mist in Luoxianjian, she met an unparalleled immortal youth, and fell deeply in love with him at first sight.
However, when his bewitched granddaughter returned to Luoxianjian, she got lost and could no longer find the immortal youth, returning to the family dejectedly.
It took a lot of persuasion before she was sent to Canaan Academy for further studies.
Because of this incident, the First Elder of the Xiao family was deeply impressed by the mysterious Falling Immortal Ravine.
"Let's go. I'd like to see if a Dou Wang expert truly lives in seclusion in Falling Immortal Ravine. If so, we'll prepare generous gifts to pay our respects. If we can befriend a Dou Wang expert, then our Xiao family will be free of threat in Wutan City."
Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth and made his decision, leading several elders up to Falling Immortal Ravine.
He was also filled with curiosity about this mysterious Falling Immortal Ravine in Wutan City!
