Xiandao Linglong

"Shu'er! Are you okay?"

Listening to Shu'er's heart-wrenching moans, Ye Qi, who didn't understand the situation, was extremely anxious. After all, this was his first time here, and no one knew if any accidents would happen!

"It's okay! Don't look back!"

Jingshu endured the pain in her body and soaked in the lake water. Her smooth and white back was covered with scars like spider webs.

The dark red scars with exposed flesh and blood broke open again under the stimulation of soaking in the lake water, and the blood that seeped out gradually dyed the lake water red.

A group of colorful spirit fish swam into the originally clear lake water at some point. These spirit fish seemed to have been hungry for a long time. When they saw the blood and flesh on Jingshu's back wounds, they surrounded her and started to gnaw on them. Jingshu grimaced in pain and her veins bulged!

For Jingshu, the time of an incense stick seemed endless, but fortunately, after the scabby flesh on her back was eaten by the spirit fish, the group of spirit fish disappeared in an instant.

The originally blurred flesh and blood on the back was also cleaned and smoothed out. Although it was still scarred, the surface of the wound was healing at an extremely fast speed under the nourishment of the lake water.

The initial tearing sensation gradually turned into a tingling and itchy feeling that went all the way to the heart, as if countless ants were crawling all over the body.

Ye Qi, who was standing aside, listened to the voice behind him gradually calm down, and breathed a sigh of relief. He sat cross-legged on the ground and entered the breathing meditation state taught by his master.

The two of them sat on the ground to practice while the other floated on the water to heal his wounds. No one knew how much time had passed in this cloud palace!

Until the wound on Jingshu's back was almost healed, with only red marks left on the smooth skin, Jingshu's eyes slowly opened.

The mist soaked her cheeks, and traces of water made her skin look white and flawless. After leaving Linghu Lake, she put on the dress left on the shore. Compared with before, her behavior seemed to have become more lively!

"Are you done?"

"Ok!"

Worried, Ye Qi couldn't help but ask, "You just..."

Jingshu explained calmly, "It's just that I have some old ailments, and with the help of the power of the Spirit Lake water, they've eased a little! Let's go! We've wasted enough time here!"

Ye Qi glanced at the lake and could still see a small area of water with a faint blood color, but he was tactful enough not to ask any further questions. After all, who doesn't have some little secrets?

Jingshu turned her head to look at the tree demon beside her and shouted, "Uncle Tree! Send us back!"

The tree demon stretched out its long branches and weaved a door shape on the ground. Suddenly, a powerful suction force burst out, and a vortex halo appeared in the middle of the wooden door. Jingshu and Ye Qi looked at each other and walked into the vortex halo.

When they saw the outside again, they stepped out of the vortex halo, and the surrounding scenery was the same as before, as if they were in the dense forest.

It seemed as if nothing had changed around them, but the two of them knew clearly that they had traveled to a fairyland-like world!

"Brother! Do you think that during this Rain Mountain Trial, will another genius like last year's will appear?"

"I don't know. If someone like that really appears again, I'm afraid there will be no hope of getting a place in Qiankun Academy! I hope there won't be so many monsters participating this year!"

A few people passing by not far away instantly caught Ye Qi's attention. He quickly stopped them and asked, "Hey guys! Wait a moment, I want to ask what this Rain Mountain Trial you're talking about is? And what does it have to do with Qiankun Academy?"

"You don't even know about the Rain Mountain Trial? That's the way Qiankun Academy is recruiting disciples this year. Rain Mountain is just a small branch, but it still has places for students to enter Qiankun Academy!"

Another person on the side urged impatiently, "Brother, why are you saying so much to him? One more person means one more opponent! Let's go! Let's go!"

"Don't blame me, little brother. This is just my Third Brother's personality. If we could meet in Rain Mountain, maybe we could cooperate. We'll take our leave now!"

After saying that, the man clasped his fists and said goodbye, and then the group continued to walk forward along the path.

"Why? Are you interested in Qiankun Academy?"

"Well, although I came out this time to find herbs to treat my friend's grandfather, this Qiankun Academy is a famous place. It is a place that countless cultivators without sects or schools in the world yearn for. If I can enter there to practice for a period of time, I should be able to grow better than if I were a casual cultivator!" Ye Qi said.

"Then let's go and have some fun. Having something to do is better than being bored all the way!"

When Jingshu heard that there was something fun to do again, she suddenly smiled. However, when she thought that she might meet Luo Yanxin, that ungrateful woman, there, she felt very annoyed.

Seeing her excited look, Ye Qi said, "Going to Yushan is not as easy as you say. The journey is very long. It will probably take us more than a month to get there on foot!"

"So... do you want to learn how to fly with a sword?"

"Flying with a sword?"

"That's right! Now that you've opened up the Qi Sea Snow Mountain, even though you've just entered the Qi Training Stage, short-distance sword flying should still be no problem. Want to learn? Shu'er can teach you!"

"There's no rush for this kind of thing. Ning's Castle is just ahead. Let's find a place to stay first and then study slowly!"

Hearing the words "Ning Family Castle," Jing Shu's expression instantly froze, and she looked a little flustered. She twisted her face and smiled bitterly, "Ning Family Castle...are we really going there?"

Ye Qi stopped and turned around, staring at Jingshu's little face and asked, "What's wrong? I've known you for so long, but I'm scared even when I see you for the first time!"

"Hehe...hehe..."

Jingshu smiled bitterly and snorted twice, without explaining anything further. She just kept walking forward with her head down, looking depressed all the way.

In order to make things easier, she found a place to change into Ye Qi's clothes on the way, although they didn't fit her well.

As the night deepens, the lights of Ningjiabao illuminate the night sky, as colorful as a starry sky. This place is different from other towns.

The old owner of Ningjiabao was a well-known knight when he was young, and the Ning family prospered in his hands. Since then, Ningjiabao has been protected by the Ning family for generations.

The descendants of the Ning family are also deeply influenced by the family tradition, and each of them has a chivalrous spirit, especially the youngest daughter of the Ning family, who is even more chivalrous than her brothers!

"Run!"

Before Ye Qi could react, Jing Shu suddenly turned around and dragged him into a dark alley, covering his mouth tightly to prevent him from making any sound!

They both looked out at the bustling streets. Even amidst the clamor, they could still hear a clear, resounding silver bell voice shouting, "Someone just told me they saw Brother Bai Cai in Ningjiabao. Go and search every street and alley for me. Don't let him sneak away again!"
