Chapter 85 Gathering Spirit Stones
Chapter 85 Gathering Spirit Stones
"Nothing has changed..."
"However, this method still requires some preparation. In any case, it will take Miss Xin about half a year to complete the repair of the array blueprints."
"Then let's agree on a six-month timeframe. I'll come back to collect the blueprints in six months, and at the same time, I can also cure your chronic illness, Miss Xin!"
Seeing that Xin Ruyin was nervous, Qin Fang comforted her.
Half a year is enough time for him to gather the remaining spirit stones to purchase the Dragon Roar Body, even if he needs to stay near Yuejing.
Moreover, Li Huayuan's mission is to protect the Qin residence... The Black Fiend Sect in Yuejing has long been eradicated by him, so there should be no danger now. He has plenty of time to go out and earn spirit stones.
"Is that so..."
"Very well, then I will wait here for good news."
Xin Ruyin smiled sweetly and gave a slight bow.
"Oh, right..."
"If possible, Miss Xin, could you please gather a few low-grade spirit stones? Activating that forbidden spell requires quite a few..."
"never mind!"
"I'll handle this."
"Especially Brother Yunxiao, it's best if you don't go out... After all, a group of disciples from cultivation families died while trying to trap Miss Xin. If you expose yourself, you might suffer a terrible fate!"
"You lot, you'd better just stay here and wait for me to come."
"As for the spirit stones... they fall under the scope of my forbidden spells. Since I promised Miss Xin, I should collect them all."
Qin Fang spoke up just in case.
In case something goes wrong while he's collecting spirit stones and he fails to collect them all, making it impossible to trade the Dragon Roar Body six months later, he plans to have Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao collect one or two as well.
After all, these two, being a weapon refiner and an array master, have many ways to earn spirit stones.
But the thought that Qi Yunxiao might die because of this made him abandon the idea and he once again "warned" the two of them to try not to go out.
It would be somewhat unsatisfactory if, in the end, Xin Ruyin's original fate was altered, but Qi Yunxiao was not saved.
"What you say is true, senior. For the next six months, we will focus on restoring your blueprints..."
"Six months without leaving home is not a difficult thing for us cultivators."
After a moment's thought, Xin Ruyin readily agreed.
Seeing that Qi Yunxiao also seemed to agree with whatever Ruyin said, Qin Fang nodded in satisfaction.
…………
The capital of the Yue Kingdom.
Upon appearing in this place for the second time, Qin Fang was filled with mixed emotions.
In just a short time, the Fiend Pill clone that he had obtained from this place was now destroyed and gone.
"Brother Han~"
"Go and probe the matter of the Qin residence first."
"I'll support you from outside... Besides, I need to buy some special materials, so I can't stay under Qin Fang's nose for long."
"If anything seems amiss, immediately notify me using this communication talisman!"
Qin Fang turned to Han Li, who had a curious look on his face, and said.
"Junior brother, go ahead and do it... Master sent the two of us here just to put his mind at ease."
"This place is just a place where ordinary people live. There can't be anything here that can threaten the two of us, can there?"
Han Li immediately agreed.
He knew what Qin Fang was going to do, and in his mind, this trip wasn't actually that dangerous, so why force Qin Fang to stay by his side?
Moreover, he was used to going it alone... and it wasn't exactly advisable for him to use the little green bottle to accelerate the growth of the spiritual medicine under Qin Fang's nose.
Even Qin Fang's own request to live outside and his frequent departures from Yuejing pleased Han Li.
This will at least not delay his efforts to accelerate the ripening of the medicinal herbs!
The invasion of the demonic path intensifies, and Han Li's desire to increase his strength becomes even stronger as a result.
"Okay~"
"If anything happens, just let me know. I'll probably stay in this area for a bit."
"If there's anything I need to buy that requires traveling to a very far place, I will definitely inform my senior brother via telepathy!"
Qin Fang cupped his hands in greeting and transformed into a dark streak of light, landing on the edge of Yuejing.
…………
Several months passed without any further conversation.
There's really nothing to say about these past few months; it's all rather uneventful!
Aside from using his disguised identity to get close to the Qin residence and exchange a few words with Han Li, Qin Fang spent most of his time traveling around, using the secondhand recycling ability of Zhuanzhuan to earn enough spirit stones for himself.
This is also thanks to the fact that there are not many cultivators in Yuejing.
Even if cultivators occasionally appeared, they were mostly at the Qi Refining stage. Han Li followed them and investigated for a while, then stopped paying attention to them.
Days passed by one after another...
This day.
In the "Zhuhe Tower," which was quite famous in Yuejing.
Two young men dressed in splendid attire were sitting on either side of the table.
"Senior brother~"
"Judging by the days, it should be about time, right?"
Qin Fang spoke.
"Um……"
"We haven't seen any demonic cultivators for so long, so the information given by Master is probably..."
"Perhaps the demonic cultivators were held back by something, or perhaps they simply gave up the idea of causing trouble in the mortal realm."
"Let's pack up and get ready to return to our sect!"
Han Li put down his tea and said calmly.
"Okay then~"
"Since the timing is about the same, and I have an appointment with Xin Ruyin, I won't return to the sect with my senior brother."
"If you have nothing else to do, Senior Brother, perhaps you could accompany me to the Yuanwu Kingdom?"
Qin Fang spoke.
The location of Huangfeng Valley is on the border between Yue Kingdom and Yuanwu Kingdom, so going to Yuanwu Kingdom will not take much time.
Qin Fang originally thought that Han Li would most likely agree immediately after he extended the invitation...
Unexpectedly, after pondering for a moment, Han Li directly rejected Qin Fang's suggestion!
"Then there's no need. Before I joined the sect, I left some unresolved matters in the mortal world."
"Now that we have some time, let's take care of the beginning and end!"
After Han Li finished speaking, Qin Fang immediately understood Han Li's plan.
It's estimated that he's preparing to return to Jiayuan City, not only because of the Mo family's affairs, but also to retrieve his friend Zhang Tie's body, now known as "Qu Hun".
Or perhaps it has something to do with Mo Caihuan, after all, this woman obtained the 'false spiritual root' from him.
"All right……"
"Then I'll take my leave first, and wish you, senior brother, every success!"
Qin Fang didn't press the matter. His invitation was simply to enhance Han Li's "impression".
So that in the future, when Han Li thinks of a similar situation, he can immediately think of himself.
Since Han Li is not interested in his "forbidden spell" technique, then let's just give up on it.
After saying that, Qin Fang transformed into a streak of earth-yellow spiritual light and instantly vanished from the teahouse.
Han Li glanced at the ground, pondered for a moment, then slowly got up, tossed down a few silver coins, and leisurely walked out of the teahouse, heading towards the Qin residence.
…………
More than half a month later.
Qin Fangfei arrived at the small hill where Xin Ruyin lived. Looking at the hill still shrouded in mist, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could feel any joy, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Ok?
Faintly, Qin Fang seemed to see many pure white figures appearing near the bamboo building on the mountainside.
