The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

Without time to think of anything else, Tan Yuruo took out the elixir given to her by Han Qianyu from the storage ring. Fortunately, Han Qianyu and Ye Nanhe were worried about Hu Xingtong and Gu Sihe, so they put a lot of life-saving pills on their bodies.

He cut the pill into pieces, and with Sinan's help, he put them into Hu Xingtong's mouth bit by bit, used his spiritual power to dissolve the medicinal power, and then covered the wound with some medicine. In the blink of an eye, the wound on Hu Xingtong's body recovered as before, and the vitality that had been constantly flowing out of his body gradually gathered.

"Phew—luckily, I received timely treatment." Sinan wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt relieved.

"What exactly happened? Why is my senior sister injured so badly?" Tan Yuruo asked anxiously.

At this time, there was movement from Gu Sihe behind him, and it seemed that he was about to wake up.

"Hiss, it hurts..." Gu Sihe touched her forehead, and two small horns suddenly appeared on the corners of her forehead. She was so scared that she hurriedly covered her hands with her hands, and looked at the two people in front of her with her eyes wide open.

"Are you a demon?" Tan Yuruo noticed the prominent horns on his forehead and Gu Sihe's attempts to conceal them. The moment Tan Yuruo said this, the atmosphere froze. Gu Sihe's expression became complicated, and a flash of panic and uneasiness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down, as if thinking about how to explain.

Si Nan frowned. Although he was a Buddhist practitioner and was not too obsessed with racial differences, this matter concerned Gu Sihe's identity and the possible troubles it might bring, so he had to be cautious.

"Sihe, you..." There was a hint of disbelief in Tan Yuruo's words. She looked at Gu Sihe, waiting for an explanation.

Gu Sihe took a deep breath and slowly lowered her hand from her forehead. Her small horns shimmered with a strange light in the sunlight. "Yes, I am a demon. But I kept it a secret because I was afraid you would distance yourself from me." There was a slight tremor in her voice, and she was clearly very nervous about the exposure of this secret.

"So what if they're demons?" Si Nan broke the silence, his gaze gentle yet firm. "In my eyes, all beings are equal. Race is just an external label. What matters is your heart. Si He, don't be nervous."

After hearing this, Tan Yuruo's shock gradually subsided. She looked at Gu Sihe, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. "Sihe, do we... do we really care about your race? We've been together for the past few days. I know what you're like."

Gu Sihe's eyes were slightly red. She had never expected that at the moment when she was most afraid of being rejected, she would receive such understanding and support. "Thank you, really... Thank you."

As Gu Sihe spoke, his eyes swept over Hu Xingtong, who was sleeping soundly in Tan Yuruo's arms. Surprised and nervous, he ran forward and asked, "What's going on? Whose blood is this?"

Si Nan looked at the two, then at Gu Xunzhou, who nodded. Si Nan then told the whole story, "We've entered what should be the trial site of the former Tianhun Sect. The formation here will block the six senses of those who enter, causing confusion. To wake up and restore the six senses, one must leave the body and solidify the power of the soul."

"And Donor Hu must have discovered this, but her six senses were gone, and she hadn't learned the corresponding techniques for cultivating her primordial spirit. As a last resort, she had to let her physical body enter a near-death state. However, her physical body was special, and she had already cultivated a Dharma body. Therefore, she used sword energy to cut herself, buying the opportunity for her primordial spirit to leave her body."

Upon hearing this, Tan Yuruo and Gu Sihe's moods became noticeably lower. Sinan looked at them and said comfortingly, "I think you two only woke up after being guided by Benefactor Hu. Benefactor Hu should be able to wake up soon."

At this moment, Hu Xingtong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she seemed to be waking up. Tan Yuruo and Gu Sihe hurriedly moved closer and looked at her nervously.

"Cough... cough..." Hu Xingtong coughed a few times and slowly opened her eyes. Her gaze swept over the three people, finally settling on Gu Sihe's forehead. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by tenderness. "Sihe, you... your horns are golden."

Gu Sihe lowered her head, ready to explain again, but was interrupted by Hu Xingtong. "It doesn't matter. No matter who you are, you are my friend. Besides, you have dragon spiritual roots. If you are not a dragon, then you are half human, half demon. I am not stupid." Hu Xingtong's voice was weak but very firm, and it also gave Gu Sihe infinite tenderness and warmth.

Hearing this, Gu Sihe finally couldn't hold back her tears and she hugged Hu Xingtong tightly, as if she wanted to put all her gratitude and peace of mind into this hug.

"Xingxing, you are so nice... Thank you, thank you so much." Gu Sihe choked, his voice full of emotion.

"Don't you know how much strength you have? Let me go... You're almost strangling me to death..." Hu Xingtong pleaded for help in a weak voice. Gu Sihe realized belatedly what he had done, and hurriedly let go of his hand nervously, looking at Hu Xingtong.

Hu Xingtong just smiled and said nothing. She looked at the two of them, then looked at the surrounding environment, took out a pill from the storage ring, and was about to put it in her mouth when Tan Yuruo stopped her.

She took the pill away and cut it into pieces before handing it back to him. Hu Xingtong looked at him with a helpless smile. He didn't know when this habit started, but this girl was either braiding her hair or cutting pills, and she was as skilled as a little maid.

After taking the pill and feeling the flow of spiritual energy in his meridians, Hu Xingtong looked at the three of them and said, "Rest for a while. We've come here, and there's a high probability that we've entered the Tianhun Sect. This can be considered a blessing in disguise. Let's go take a look inside later."

The three of them didn't object and nodded obediently.

Hu Xingtong, who had gotten the chance, closed his eyes and communicated with Chen Wu in his mind, "Just now, did you respond to me?"

[I responded, but you didn't seem to hear it. Even if you did, it wasn't what I said.]

"Then it was always you when my soul left my body, right?"

【That's me.】

"Here, I...how did we get in?" Hu Xingtong didn't think that there was a place that so many powerful people couldn't enter, but he could find it by accident. There must be external help.

[It's my doing, but not really. Keep going. When you reach some key locations, I'll give you a quest. The quest reward will contain the answer you seek.]

Hu Xingtong raised his eyebrows at Chen Wu's suggestion. It seemed that many truths had already surfaced, and the only thing left was for him to collect them.

"You are being honest now. Why don't you want to hide it?" Hu Xingtong asked with a smile.

Chen Wu could only patiently answer: "No need to, because after you triggered that hidden quest, many things have been exposed. However, your actions cannot be exposed. I will reward you with what you want to know. You can also speculate, but you must restrain your actions and words and avoid any random words or actions."

[If the rules of this world are disrupted, it will have a huge impact on you, and you might end up staying here.]

After hearing this, Hu Xingtong realized the seriousness of the situation and stopped teasing Chen Wu. Instead, he recalled a memory that was rewarded in the leader mission.
