Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

"Hehe, Jingxi..."

This guy is still chuckling to himself.

Ji Nanbei couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmiao, these are cold compress powder and blood stasis dispersing powder, both spiritual items for healing. Although they are not particularly precious, please accept them."

Ji Nanbei took this out of the system space.

Xiao Jingxi should also have good healing items in his storage ring.

However, Ji Nanbei is not familiar with the area, and it's not feasible to search for it on-site right now.

So he simply took it from the system space. It wasn't particularly valuable, and he usually used the system's recovery function, so he didn't need these low-grade healing medicines.

Zhang Qingmiao gave a wry smile, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately accepted the gift.

She really wanted to say that her injuries were not something that ordinary spirits could heal.

But... it's a bit embarrassing, so I'll pass.

This was the first time Ji Nanbei had ever seen this extremely talkative young Taoist priest speechless.

Yes, I held back.

But I really want to laugh.

However, it would be impolite to laugh out loud.

Zhang Qingmiao handed a storage ring to Ji Nanbei.

Ji Nanbei was somewhat confused.

"Here's what you wanted. I went to our Daoist sect's spiritual chef yesterday and had it made overnight. The ingredients are carefully selected, and to maintain its freshness, it was even frozen in a box. You can take it out and eat it directly on your way."

Ji Nanbei tilted his head.

Does Xiao Jingxi want this?

Does it sound delicious?

Anyway, thank you in advance.

"Thanks…"

"Also, the two Daoist Purple Bamboos I risked my life to pluck are in there. That old man was really ruthless. Jingxi, I risked my life for you..."

Before he could finish speaking, an old man with a white beard suddenly appeared behind him.

The old man grabbed Zhang Qingmiao's head with one hand.

"Please forgive my poor discipline, everyone. I wish you all a safe journey. I will take this unruly disciple back to cultivate diligently."

After saying that, the white-bearded old man picked up Zhang Qingmiao with one hand and dragged her away.

Everyone fell silent.

Whether they were disciples of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect or disciples of the Dao Sect, they were all somewhat at a loss for words at this moment.

Many Taoist disciples covered their faces.

That's so embarrassing!

Ji Nanbei also saw it clearly.

The white-bearded old man, dressed in a purple robe, exuded an aura that seemed to blend into the world around him.

It's like the harmony between man and nature in the novel.

No need to guess, this person is most likely the sect leader of the Dao Sect, who is also Zhang Qingmiao's master.

He faces his apprentice Zhang Qingmiao every day.

Ji Nanbei felt a headache for this old Taoist master.

No wonder his hair and beard turned completely white from worry.

As she was being dragged away, Zhang Qingmiao continued to scream in agony:

"Jingxi! Take me with you, Jingxi! How can I live without you, Jingxi!"

Ji Nanbei covered his face.

Really.

It's to the point that even a social terrorist like him feels socially dead.

"ha!"

This time, Xiao Jingxi, in her mental state, chuckled softly.

After all, she hid deep within her mind.

Although she also felt like she was going to die, Xiao Jingxi still laughed when she saw that Ji Nanbei couldn't handle it.

Ji Nanbei tilted his head.

Huh? You little sword immortal, you're actually mocking yourself?

Rebellion! Rebellion! The little sword immortal dares to devour his master!

Unfortunately, Xiao Jingxi doesn't have a crooked mouth.

*Thump!*

Just as Ji Nanbei was considering whether to bully Xiao Jingxi a little, a soft sound came from afar.

Then, Zhang Qingmiao's voice stopped.

"Yes," the old celestial master tapped the ground with Zhang Qingmiao's head.

Then there was no sound.

I suddenly feel a little sorry for Zhang Qingmiao.

After bidding farewell to the Dao Sect members, Ji Nanbei led his team away from the Dao Sect.

As before, the Seventh Elder disappeared into the surroundings and no longer interfered with the journey.

Ji Nanbei, on the other hand, rode on a spirit horse, took out a map, and looked at the route.

The Yaoguang Sect, the Tianji Sect, and the Yiyu Sect.

These three are the three of the nine gates that need to be discussed on this trip.

All three sects are located in the Eastern Continent, but the Heavenly Mystery Sect is located in a relatively remote area of ​​the Eastern Continent, far from the center.

It's probably because the Heavenly Mystery Sect is a rather mysterious sect, and its disciples don't usually travel to the cultivation world. Instead, they spend most of their time studying divination and numerology within the sect.

Right now, the closest one is the Jade Shift Gate.

Speaking of which, the Yiyu Sect is one of only two female cultivation sects among the four sects and nine schools, and it only recruits female disciples.

Another one is the Hehuan Sect.

I've heard that the Yiyu Sect greatly admires Xiao Jingxi, this little sword immortal.

After all, it's rare for a woman to win the championship in the cultivation world competition.

However, we can discuss these things later; what's more important right now is...

There is a city nearby where Yiyu Gate is located, called Liuyue City.

It's very close by. Disciples from the Yiyu Sect often frequent Liuyue City, buying general supplies and completing tasks.

Coincidentally, the Qi family is located within Liuyue City.

Ji Nanbei originally planned to take a slightly detour to cause trouble for the Qi family.

Looking at it now, it seems unnecessary.

It eliminates the need for numerous excuses and explanations.

This made things much more convenient for Ji Nanbei.

The next question is how to tell Xiao Jingxi about this.

Looking at the map, Ji Nanbei pondered.

"Is there some kind of problem?"

Ji Nanbei was usually decisive and efficient, so his silence at this moment made Xiao Jingxi quickly realize that something must have happened.

Ji Nanbei hummed in agreement.

It seems... there's no need to beat around the bush; just tell Xiao Jingxi directly.

"There's something I need you to do..."

"Okay, okay! What is it? What should I do?"

Before Ji Nanbei could finish speaking, Xiao Jingxi excitedly replied.

Their enthusiasm seemed less like they wanted to help and more like they were rushing to take advantage of the situation.

Ji Nanbei couldn't help but slap his forehead.

What on earth was I thinking before?

Why do you get so excited when you mention helping me?

"Because it can help you!"

Xiao Jingxi answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Ji Nanbei was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"Someone like you will be taken advantage of sooner or later, and you'll be sold out while you're still counting the money for the seller."

"Huh? You'd sell me?"

"Hmm, it should fetch a good price."

"How could this happen!"

The two of them started talking and then drifted off-topic.

After laughing and joking for a while, Ji Nanbei coughed and became serious, pointing to the map and indicating the location of Liuyue City.

"I need to ask you to go into this city, pick up someone, bring her back to the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, and protect her."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingxi completely disregarded the matter of taking people back to the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, and instead asked:

"Is it a woman?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Ji Nanbei was puzzled.

"She's a vixen!"

"No, that's not it."

So, this guy is still bothered by the fact that he didn't come for a few days without giving any notice.

I still remember the fox spirit incident…

"Hey, are there any other vixens?"

Xiao Jingxi asked in a dejected tone.

Ji Nanbei reached out and tapped his forehead.

Even though I feel some pain myself, it's still more meaningful to teach Xiao Jingxi a lesson.
