I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

After saying this, the Lord of the West thought for a while, and then continued, "Also, when you leave, you must take all the spiritual peaches in the spiritual peach garden away. This is also what your master told you to do. He said that you can eat them as fruit after meals." At this point, the Lord of the West couldn't help but laugh. Treating spiritual peaches that cost one thousand gold coins each as fruit, only Old Hong could do such a thing.

Hearing the Lord of the West asking him to pick all the peaches and take them away, Qiu Yan was a little confused. He scratched his head and asked, "Lord of the West, Master, do you think too highly of me? There are a thousand peach trees in the Peach Garden, and each tree can produce at least fifty or sixty peaches. I have eaten one peach a day for the past three years, and I have only eaten less than a hundred peaches. It will take at least twenty years to eat all the remaining nine hundred peach trees. I guess these peaches will rot into mud after being picked for more than twenty years."

After listening to Qiu Yan's concerns, the Lord of the West Heaven smiled faintly, and then explained to Qiu Yan, "The spiritual peach is not an ordinary peach. It is a spiritual object nourished by the spiritual power between heaven and earth. It takes 500 years to bloom, 500 years to bear fruit, and 500 years to mature. After the spiritual peach matures, it can still have 500 years without rotting or spoiling, so you don't have to worry about the spiritual peach going bad. Just put it in the storage space and eat it slowly."

"Oh! So that's how it is!" After listening to the explanation of the Lord of the West, Qiu Yan nodded in understanding, and then said nothing more. Seeing that Qiu Yan had no problem, the Lord of the West took out another round jade pendant and handed it to Qiu Yan, saying, "Take this jade pendant. If you encounter any danger or problems that you cannot solve yourself in the future, break this jade pendant. There is a trace of my consciousness in this jade pendant. As long as you break the jade pendant, I can sense it, and then I will help you."

After the Lord of the West said this, Qiu Yan took the jade pendant without hesitation, thanked the Lord of the West, and put the jade pendant into the space jade. After Qiu Yan put away the jade, the Lord of the West said to Qiu Yan, "That's about all I have to tell you. The rest of the way is up to you. I have something else to do in the next few days, so I may not be able to see you off when you leave. When you go east, you will reach the human territory after leaving the West Mountains. When you reach the human territory, you can freely choose where to go. But you are still young, so you must be more careful when you go out, and you must not trust others easily, especially beautiful women, otherwise the family fortune left to you by your master will probably be squandered by you in a few years." After saying this, the Lord of the West showed Qiu Yan a meaningful smile.

Hearing the words of the Lord of the West, Qiu Yan felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, Lord of the West, I will never be easily trusted by others again, and I will never give others the things my master left me."

"Really?" The Lord of the West Heaven looked at Qiu Yan with interest and said, "Although Tianhu looks okay, she can't even be ranked among the beastmen in terms of appearance, let alone among the human race. And she can charm you so much that you are willing to take out six Tianling Pills. If you meet someone prettier than her, do you think you won't give her Tianling Pills or other goodies?"

Hearing what the Lord of the West said, Qiu Yan was speechless, wondering if the Lord of the West had misunderstood him as a lecher, so he quickly explained to the Lord of the West, "Lord of the West, you misunderstood. I gave Sister Hu the Heavenly Spirit Pill not because of her looks, although she does look pretty good and I like her, but mainly because I think Sister Hu is very interesting and she came to accompany me for training, so I gave her the Heavenly Spirit Pill."

"Do you think she's interesting?" Hearing Qiu Yan's explanation, the Lord of the West smiled slightly, and then murmured, "Isn't that the most inexplicable thing between men and women?"

The Lord of the West just spoke in a low voice, and Qiu Yan didn't hear it clearly, so he asked, "Lord of the West, I didn't hear what you said just now clearly, can you say it again?"

Hearing Qiu Yan's question, the Lord of the West smiled. He naturally would not repeat what he had just said, otherwise he would have said it out loud just now. So he said to Qiu Yan, "What I said just now is not important. I have already told you the important things." After that, the Lord of the West turned around, then put his hands behind his back and slowly rose into the air. While rising, the Lord of the West said to Qiu Yan, "I have finished what your master asked me to do. Put aside your training! Don't let me down, and don't let your master down!" After that, the Lord of the West disappeared directly into the air, and even his shadow could not be seen. Qiu Yan nodded as he looked at the Lord of the West who disappeared in the sky, then said to the direction where the Lord of the West disappeared, "Don't worry, I won't let you down!" Qiu Yan did not stay any longer after he finished speaking, but went back directly to prepare to continue practicing. Before leaving the West Mountains, Qiu Yan planned to practice the second level of Soul Locking Binding first, and then absorb the water-attributed elixir. It would be best if he could practice a water-attributed spiritual power technique, so that he would officially possess water-attributed spiritual power.

Qiu Yan was making final preparations for his training, and the Lord of the West was also making final preparations for Qiu Yan's training. He returned to the palace and closed the palace gate. In the dim palace, only the Lord of the West was sitting in the middle. At this time, the Lord of the West called a person's name lightly, "Mu Qingxue"

As the Lord of the West fell, a white whirlwind appeared in the originally empty palace. This white whirlwind was formed by spiritual power. After the white whirlwind passed, a woman in white clothes and a mask appeared at the location of the whirlwind. She held a long sword in her hand, bowed to the Lord of the West and said, "Master! What do you want me to do for you?" The woman's tone was very respectful, completely different from Sister Tiger before.

Seeing Mu Qingxue saluting to him, the Lord of the West waved his hand casually, and then said, "There is no one else here. You don't have to call me Master, you can just call me Master." Mu Qingxue is the younger brother of the West and his only disciple. However, Mu Qingxue is not a beastman, but a human like Qiu Yan. Therefore, in order to prevent others from gossiping, the Lord of the West did not make public his master-disciple relationship with Mu Qingxue.

"Yes, Master!" Since he had obtained the permission of the Lord of the West, Mu Qingxue was naturally happy to call the Lord of the West Master. After hearing that Mu Qingxue changed the way he addressed himself, the Lord of the West nodded slightly, and then continued, "Qingxue, today I asked you to come here because I have a very important task to entrust to you, but this task may take a long time, maybe decades, or maybe hundreds of years. I wonder if you are willing?" The Lord of the West did not directly say the content of the task, but stated the time of the task first, because the Lord of the West did not want to force others, even his disciples. Therefore, if Mu Qingxue was unwilling to accept the task after hearing the time of the task, the Lord of the West did not need to tell her the content of the task, and he could only choose someone else to complete the task.

"Dozens or even hundreds of years?" When Mu Qingxue heard the time this task might take, a hint of hesitation appeared on her face under the mask. Because she didn't know the specific content of the task, she was not sure whether she could complete it.

Seeing Mu Qingxue's hesitation, the Lord of the West Heaven smiled faintly, and then said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to. I won't force you."

Hearing the Lord of the West say this, Mu Qingxue felt a little guilty, because the Lord of the West had taught her like a master and a father for more than ten years, and had never asked her to do anything, but this time her master gave her a task and she hesitated. She knew that if she didn't want to, her master wouldn't blame her, but she would definitely blame herself for this matter. Although the task given to her by the master took a long time, the master's kindness to her could not be repaid by dozens or hundreds of years of tasks. Thinking of this, Mu Qingxue's eyes became firm, and she bowed to the Lord of the West and said, "Master, I am willing to accept this task!" Mu Qingxue's tone was very firm without the slightest hesitation.

After hearing Mu Qingxue's serious answer, the Lord of the West Heaven smiled faintly, and then he said to Mu Qingxue, "Don't be so serious. Although this mission may take a long time, the mission itself is not complicated, nor is there any danger. It's just traveling around the continent with someone."

"Travel around the continent with someone?" Mu Qingxue was a little surprised to hear the content of this task, because if it was just that, then this task was not a task at all. After all, even if she did not accept this task, she also planned to travel around the continent to gain experience. Therefore, she now suspected that her master was either assigning her a task or letting her go out for training in disguise.

Hearing Mu Qingxue's surprise, the Lord of the West Heaven naturally knew the reason, so he added, "Of course, this mission is not as simple as just asking you to travel the continent with someone. You also have to secretly protect that person while traveling the continent, and report his situation to me regularly. And you can't tell him that you are sent by the master to protect her, and you can't even let him know that you are from Xitian City."

After the Lord of the West Heaven finished speaking, he looked at Mu Qingxue. Mu Qingxue's mind did not change much after hearing the Lord of the West Heaven's words. She still felt that this was a very simple matter that would benefit her, so she said to the Lord of the West Heaven, "Yes, Master, I understand. I will accept this mission and will complete it very well. I just don't know who I have to protect and how long I have to protect him."
