I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 235 Ye Nantian was defeated and the spiritual plant was obtained!

Longmen Town, a remote house.

It was still snowing heavily and a large car was parked at the backyard door.

Jin Yuping and Master Huang stood beside the carriage, looking around anxiously.

They obviously knew what Xie An was going to do.

Go big! Empty the eight-armed wizard's herb garden!
This was undoubtedly a grand gesture, and it excited both of them. But for some reason, they felt a little uneasy.

"I heard that the eight-armed wizard is in seclusion to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining. If he finds that the medicine garden has been emptied... I'm afraid he will go crazy." Jin Yuping covered her chest and suppressed her violently beating heart.

Master Huang was also feeling uneasy, but remembering that he was a male, a man, he forced himself to remain calm and consoled him, saying, "Don't panic. Brother Xie and Miss Chen are also cultivators. With their combined strength, they won't necessarily be at a disadvantage."

Perhaps it was the psychological comfort that made Jin Yuping feel more at ease after hearing this. "That's right. The Third Master has always been cautious and meticulous in his work. He must have thought of a complete set of response methods. Maybe I'm overthinking it."

At this moment, Xie An hurried over and said seriously, "Leave the car behind and go ahead. Go to Qixing Village and wait for me."

Jin Yuping was very surprised, "But what happened?"

"Don't ask any more questions, just go."

"Third Master, please be careful." Jin Yuping didn't ask any more questions, and she and Master Huang immediately plunged into the wind and snow, and disappeared in a moment.

Seeing the two figures walking away, Xie An returned to the courtyard and found Chen Yuer: "Miss Yuer, we have to leave too. I'm afraid we won't be able to get these spiritual plants for the time being."

Just now, Xie An's seal of approval sensed that Puyang Bai had indeed dug out all the spiritual plants in the medicine garden and was pulling them here in a horse-drawn carriage.

From what he saw and heard from Puyang Bai, Xie An did not find anything unexpected, everything was normal.

However, the white fox lurking in the ancient underground village brought Xie An a shocking message: there was a blue-skinned, eight-armed man secretly following Puyang Bai. Xie An immediately used his seal to sense what the white fox saw and heard.

As expected, an eight-armed man was seen following Puyang Bai. But Puyang Bai didn't notice...

This made Xie An break out in a cold sweat!
This Puyang Qing, has come out of confinement! ?
How insidious!

If Xie An had not taken out double insurance, he would have been cheated by Puyang Qing.

Xie An told Chen Yu'er this, and Chen Yu'er was also very surprised. She never expected that Puyang Qing had come out of seclusion recently, and he had already known that something was wrong with Puyang Bai, so she followed Puyang Bai here.

It was obvious that Puyang Qing wanted to turn Xie An and Chen Yu'er into fertilizer...

Even though Chen Yu'er and Xie An were already cultivators, they both broke out in cold sweats at this moment.

However, Xie An was not panicked. Not to mention that Puyang Bai was still some distance away from here, and besides... Puyang Bai was completely under his control, and he could send Puyang Bai somewhere else at any time.

Chen Yu'er pondered for a moment and said, "Since Puyang Qing has emerged from seclusion, it means he has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. You and I are no match for him. We can only give up these spiritual plants for the time being."

The two left the place immediately.

After walking far away from Longmen Town, the two men felt it was safe enough, so they stopped to discuss countermeasures.

First, Puyang Qing noticed something was wrong with Puyang Bai, but he didn't remove the seal of psychic power from Puyang Bai. Either Puyang Qing didn't have the ability to do so, or he did it on purpose in order to follow the clues and find the person behind it.

In addition, Xie An could control Puyang Bai. Should he let Puyang Bai transport the spiritual plants to the house, or make other plans? Is it possible to seize these spiritual plants?
This batch of spiritual plants is extremely important to the two of them.

If they gave up at this point, their path to becoming an immortal would be cut short.

Xie An had thought about it before. Since he couldn't get it, he might as well muddy the waters: for example, let Puyang Bai deliver the spiritual plants to Longmen Inn, and then overturn a cart of spiritual plants, causing countless heroes in the martial arts world to scramble for them.

But this idea was quickly rejected by Xie An.

If I can muddy the waters and get the spiritual plants, that would be fine.

And the more cruel fact is - even if all the heroes of Longmen Inn died, it would be impossible to snatch any cold spirit grass from Puyang Qing.

It will only lead to more killing and will not help the situation at all.

"Let's go back to Qixing Village first."

……

Puyang Bai drove the cart towards the villa where the Third Master was.

Puyang Baidu was very panicked along the way, looking left and right from time to time, fearing that he would be discovered.

He even tried to communicate with the Third Master through his spiritual will many times, but the Third Master did not respond. This made Puyang Bai even more panicked, and he cursed all the ancestors of the Third Master.

After entering the villa, Puyang Bai placed a large cart of spiritual plants in the yard. He searched the entire villa but couldn't find the Third Master, not even a single person in sight.

What about people?

Puyang Bai was deeply depressed. He risked his life to deliver the spiritual plant, and now you've disappeared?
He waited for a while, but still no one showed up.

The voice of the Third Master did not come into my consciousness.

Puyang Qing panicked a bit, and finally took out his bag from the carriage and put it on his back, ready to run away at any time.

All the spiritual plants have been dug up. If my uncle knew, he would definitely go crazy and I would have no chance of survival.

He knew his uncle's temper very well: although he was good to him, his value was definitely not as great as this batch of spiritual plants.

His life and death were in the hands of the Third Master, so he wanted to wait for his reply before deciding whether to flee. If he did something that displeased the Third Master, he would kill him with his mind at any time.

Thinking of this, Puyang Bai felt very sad.

How did things end up like this?
Damn it.

Puyang Bai naturally didn't know that outside the villa, at the top of a willow tree, Puyang Qing with eight arms was standing, watching everything in the villa with a pair of fierce eyes.

With Puyang Qing's cultivation and knowledge, he naturally knew that his nephew was being controlled by a cultivator using spiritual techniques. He could also use this spiritual power to know what Puyang Bai saw and heard.

Therefore, Puyang Qing never showed up, just to lure out the immortal cultivator behind the scenes.

But... this yard is empty.

Could it be that the immortal cultivator knew of his existence?
This doesn't make sense.

No one saw me following.

At the sixth level of Qi Refining, one can open up spiritual awareness, sweeping the surroundings and gaining a bird's-eye view. At the seventh level of Qi Refining, one can fly with a sword.

Puyang Qing has not reached the sixth level and cannot open his spiritual consciousness.

He felt that he had not been discovered because the other party was too cautious.

Then stay and take a look.

……

Qixingzhai.

Xie An's residence.

A woman with bandages all over her body was lying on the bed, and Ma Tiedan was serving her carefully.

In order to buy medicine for the woman, Ma Tiedan had to ask his men to go outside to ask for money.

The carefree days of living without a strict wife had only lasted a few days before they became unbearable again.

Ma Tiedan felt very unhappy when he thought of this.

The one shot by the arrow was not a blind bear at all.

But it was a woman covered in blood.

He almost got shot to death.

At that time, Ma Tiedan had thought about killing this person. But the woman called out: "Ma Tiedan".

Ma Tiedan was immediately frightened silly.

Later the woman said: I am the friend of the Third Master.

Ma Tiedan was suddenly horrified.

He also thought that since he had already shot this woman, he might as well kill her once and for all. This would prevent the Third Master from causing trouble for him later, and would also prevent this woman from holding a grudge against him.

But in the end, Ma Tiedan saw the bloodstains behind the woman and knew that she had climbed all the way from the distant snow-capped mountains. He followed the bloodstains and found that the woman had climbed dozens of miles of mountain roads.

Perhaps shocked by the vitality displayed by the woman, Ma Tiedan did not attack her, but took her back to the village.

At first, Ma Tiedan didn't think the woman could survive.

There wasn't a single intact piece of flesh on her body, and it was covered in holes and holes, as if someone had cut off all her flesh.

But after a few days, Ma Tiedan was shocked to find that the woman was actually getting better.

Extremely magical.

Ma Tiedan had never seen such a miracle in his life, so he wanted to see how this person recovered.

Early in the morning, Ma Tiedan fed the woman medicine.

Of course, it’s not a good medicine, just some tonic herbs.

When Ma Tiedan found that the woman's condition had improved, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the room dejectedly, and squatted under the eaves to worry.

This woman is a friend of the Third Master.

He even shot someone with an arrow.

If this girl complains to the Third Master, and he gets furious... will he still be able to survive?

He felt a little regretful that he should have killed the woman completely at the beginning.

But I couldn't bring myself to do it.

This made Ma Tiedan feel uneasy.

"Boss Ma, something bad has happened..." A man in a coat and holding a knife rushed in hurriedly, shouting breathlessly.

Ma Tiedan was in a bad mood and glared at him fiercely, "If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. It's not proper to be so flustered."

Huhu.

The man took several deep breaths before speaking, "Madam and Master Huang are back."

"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier."

Ma Tiedan immediately stood up and looked back at the woman in the room. He considered whether to kill her or not, but finally gave up and let out a sharp "Pah" sound.

The house leaks and it rains all night.

He immediately went out to greet her, and when he saw Jin Yuping, he smiled flatteringly, "Madam, you didn't even tell me you were back so I could prepare to welcome you."

Jin Yuping said calmly, "Don't bother. Tell the young ones outside to come back. Stay in Qixing Village for the time being and don't go out."

Ma Tiedan was shocked, "But what happened?"

"Don't ask too many questions. Just do as I say. By the way, where are the people in the village?"

Ma Tiedan told the truth. He said that he had saved a woman a while ago and the expenses were not small, so he had to let the boys go out to find immortal funds.

Jin Yuping glanced at him and said, "It's already this late, and you're still thinking about women. Throw this woman out."

Ma Tiedan wiped his forehead and said, "She said she was a friend of the Third Master..."

Jin Yuping immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. "I was just joking. I wanted to remind you. Take me to see it."

Jin Yuping led Master Huang into the room hurriedly and saw a woman with bandages on the bed.

The woman was already in a deep sleep and her appearance could not be seen.

However, Jin Yuping was an extremely skilled physician. After a quick inspection, she knew the woman was seriously injured. "These bandages can't be used to wrap her like this. Go boil a basin of hot water, and then go to my room to get some gauze and my medicine box."

Soon, Ma Tiedan brought in a basin of hot water, gauze, and a medicine box, then retreated out of the room.

Jin Yuping carefully removed the gauze from the woman's body, and then her pupils shrank.

She had been practicing medicine for many years, but had never seen a woman with such serious injuries.

Most of the flesh on his body had been cut off, leaving the bones visible.

All the internal organs can be seen.

He's not dead yet!
Jin Yuping's scalp tingled as she watched, and she didn't know how to start.

Moreover, there was not a single intact piece of skin on this woman's face, and her appearance was unrecognizable.

"Master Huang, come in and take a look."

Master Huang, who was outside the door, heard Jin Yuping's cry and immediately came in. He was also shocked when he saw the state of the woman on the bed. "How could there be such a person? She's not dead yet... Hmm... That's not right."

Jin Yuping asked, "What did you see?"

Master Huang came closer and felt it carefully. "This is innate vitality... She has innate vitality in her body, which is why she is not dead."

"Innate vitality?"

"Yes, there is no mistake." Master Huang has received a lot of guidance from Chen Yuer over the past few years. With the blessing of the elixir given by Jin Yuping, he has become a second-grade master.

You can’t go wrong if you feel the innate vital energy.

Jin Yuping immediately understood, "So this woman has successfully reversed her transformation? She is..."

Master Huang suddenly thought of this woman's identity.

But upon closer inspection, the aura of this woman was completely different from Su Yuqing's, a fundamental difference. Coupled with the scars on her face, it was difficult to recognize her.

"You watch here, I will go to Longmen Town to tell Brother Xie." Master Huang made up his mind immediately.

If this woman is really Su Yuqing, then it is no small matter.

Not far from the village, Master Huang saw Xie An and Chen Yu'er returning and hurried to greet them, "Brother Xie, Miss Chen, you are finally back. There is a woman in Qixing Village..."

……

That night.

In the dim room, only an oil lamp was flickering, illuminating the woman wrapped in bandages on the bed.

Xie An was sitting next to him with a serious expression.

Just now, Xie An saw the woman's body and face full of holes.

I also witnessed the cruelty of cutting bones and flesh, cutting veins and severing tendons during the reverse metamorphosis process.

Even Xie An, a cultivator of immortality, felt extremely shocked.

I was shocked by the cruelty of the transformation and the will and indomitable spirit shown by Su Yuqing.

Su Yuqing had not woken up yet and was sleeping quietly.

Chen Yu'er, who was standing by, said, "She is truly blessed and lucky. After this transformation, her spiritual roots have been awakened. From now on, there will be no more obstacles on her path to immortality."

After a pause, Chen Yu'er continued, "Don't worry, this is how it will be after a reverse metamorphosis. After a few months, new flesh, blood, muscles, and bones will grow, and the reverse metamorphosis will be successful."

Xie An heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Chen Yuer, a veteran, said.

He wanted to hold Su Yuqing's hand tightly to encourage her, but found that her hand was no longer intact, so he had to give up.

In the following days, Xie An stayed in the courtyard. Besides practicing martial arts and health-preserving exercises, he also accompanied Su Yuqing. If he was bored, he would whisper in Su Yuqing's ear, saying some encouraging words.

Chen Yu'er also had nothing to do, so she stayed in Qixing Village.

Through Puyang Bai's perception and the fact that the white fox was lurking in Longmen Town, Xie An knew that Puyang Bai had been staying in the villa in Longmen Town, and Puyang Qing was observing him in secret.

Both parties are in different places, waiting.

Xie An was waiting to see if Puyang Qing would make further moves, so he could plan his next move based on the other party's actions.

Puyang Qing's idea was obviously the same as Xie An's. He was also waiting for Xie An to make the next move and then wait for an opportunity to act.

Three months passed quickly.

Early that morning, Xie An was still sleeping by Su Yuqing's window.

Su Yuqing slowly opened her eyes.

What came into view was a familiar face.

Today, Su Yuqing has grown back all new flesh and blood, completing her transformation. Reborn, her appearance remains roughly the same as before, but even more stunning, a figure of pure beauty.

She was wearing a white silk lining, and with just a slight movement of her fingers she could feel the powerful innate energy surging in her body. Her vision and perception were all different from the past.

But what made Su Yuqing most happy and emotional was the man sleeping soundly beside her.

Believing she would face death in this transformation, she inexplicably came to an uninhabited mountain outside the Seven Star Village and spent two years undergoing this transformation, preparing herself for death.

Indeed, Su Yuqing had too many regrets about leaving this world, but she still chose to transform without hesitation. If she died, she would die in the desolate mountains, unknown to anyone.

The reason why we chose to stay outside Qixing Village is probably because there is someone we can't let go of.

I never thought that after the transformation, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was this person.

Hey, I, Su Yuqing, owe you another life.

She slowly stretched out her right hand, trying to touch Xie An's face. But her hand moved to the side and stopped again because Xie An had already opened his eyes and was looking at her.

Su Yuqing awkwardly withdrew her hand and said with a faint smile: "Xie An, thank you."

She clearly had a lot of things she wanted to say in her heart, but when they came to her lips, she didn't know how they turned into this simple sentence.

Xie An saw Su Yuqing, who was intact and reborn, and he had a lot to say, but when he said it, it turned into, "Princess, congratulations. You have transformed yourself into a saint by breaking through the sect."

The two smiled at each other, as if they had already said a thousand words. Su Yuqing put on her clothes and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"

"Three months."

Xie An immediately shouted outside the room, "Brother Huang, ask Ma Tiedan to prepare breakfast. Order meat and good wine."

……

breakfast.

Everyone gathered together.

Chen Yuer, Master Huang, and Jin Yuping were all present.

During the meal, they drank and ate with gusto, and thanked Su Yuqing repeatedly. Su Yuqing, who was usually quite dignified, did not act so politely and joined everyone in the drinking.

Accustomed to the noble life in the court, she instead fell in love with this simple life in the mountains.

Even Chen Yu'er, who had always disliked Su Yuqing, raised a glass of wine for the first time and said, "Su Yuqing, congratulations."

Su Yuqing raised her glass in thanks, "Thank you, Miss Chen, for your notes of experience. I owe you after all."

Chen Yu'er drank her wine and said calmly, "This world is inherently unstable, and cultivation is not easy. Those who dare to reverse their transformation have been few and far between for hundreds of years. Cultivation is especially difficult for women, who are naturally vulnerable. I only care about you because you're a woman. If you were a man, I might not be willing to share this precious experience."

Su Yuqing smiled and said, "Humanity is human nature, regardless of gender. Yuqing will remember this in her heart."

"It's up to you." Chen Yu'er waved her hand, drank by herself, and said no more.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Jin Yuping stammered, "Third Master, the Princess... Ma Tiedan has been kneeling outside for a long time. He had shot the Princess with an arrow before, and he felt uneasy and begged for forgiveness."

Ma Tiedan, why don't you come in and apologize and admit your mistake."

Jin Yuping shouted the second half of the sentence towards the outside of the door.

In the past few months, Ma Tiedan has been unable to eat or sleep well, worrying about the eldest princess's revenge all day long. He keeps pestering Jin Yuping to apologize on his behalf.

Not long after, Ma Tiedan walked in with a look of trepidation. Seeing everyone, he was about to kneel down. "Ma Tiedan did not recognize the princess before, so I came here to apologize. I hope the princess will punish me..."

Before he finished speaking or knelt down, Su Yuqing raised her hand and a stream of air covered Ma Tiedan's knees, making it impossible for him to kneel down no matter what he did.

Su Yuqing said, "This is not a serious matter. On the contrary, Yuqing would like to thank you for saving my life. I also thank you for not having any evil intentions in the first place."

Ma Tiedan's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Only he knew that he had indeed harbored evil intentions at the time.

He almost killed Su Yuqing.

Fortunately.

"Thank you, Princess, for forgiving me. I will go to the mountains to hunt a blind bear and make bear paws for everyone. You can eat them raw." Ma Tiedan was very happy and left quickly.

Seeing that the eldest princess was so kind and generous, Jin Yuping felt a warmth in her heart. She felt that holding on to the Third Master's thigh was an extremely correct decision, and she also expressed her gratitude.

After the meal, Mrs. Ma cleaned up the dishes and left. Master Huang also left on the pretext of going to help. Only Su Yuqing, Chen Yuer and Xie An were left in the living room.

After the greetings, Xie An talked about Puyang Qing and spiritual plants.

Su Yuqing said, "That's easy. Master has been searching for the wizard's village. I'll go and tell Master. He'll definitely lead people to encircle and eliminate the wizard. You can take the opportunity to move the spiritual plants away."

Xie An was shocked: "Is this possible?"

Su Yuqing said, "Two years ago, before I began my transformation, I met Master. He was already a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Plus, Master still has some tricks up his sleeve, so he might not be intimidated by Puyang Qing. Furthermore, Master represents the Daqian government, so Puyang Qing might not dare to openly oppose Master."

Hearing this, Xie An and Chen Yu'er looked at each other.

Eleven years ago, in Dayin Mountain, Qingwu County, Chen Yuer was only at the first level of Martial Saint, while Ye Nantian was at the second level.

Now eleven years have passed, Chen Yuer and Xie An have been cultivating immortals together and have just broken through the third level of Martial Saint, while Ye Nantian has actually reached the fourth level.

It is obvious that Ye Nantian has a source of spiritual energy.

It's hidden so deeply.

After a moment's reflection, Xie An felt it made sense. He and Chen Yu'er had both found a source of spiritual energy in Yunzhou, and Ye Nantian, with over a hundred years of martial arts under heaven, could mobilize the power of the entire Daqian region. Finding a source of spiritual energy wasn't particularly surprising.

After a long moment of stunned silence, Xie An finally came to his senses and asked, "Is this really the case?"

Su Yuqing said, "Both publicly and privately, Daqian cannot allow such a powerful cultivator to lurk in the shadows. At the very least, we need to understand the underlying reasons. This is what the court should do."

Xie An nodded and agreed, "Let's do as the princess says."

……

Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

Ye Nantian and the other two were still drinking in the pavilion.

Even in spring, the weather still hasn't gotten warmer, and heavy snow is falling.

"Oh, it's been two years and three months. There is still no news about the eldest princess." Hua Yunfeng sighed, feeling very upset.

Li Chungang also looked solemn.

Ever since learning about Su Yuqing's transformation, Li Chungang had been torn. On the one hand, Su Yuqing's actions had undoubtedly inspired and stimulated him, making him want to undergo a transformation as well.

But he was well aware of the dangers of reverse metamorphosis, and he thought that since the eldest princess had not returned yet, she was most likely dead.

I became more and more afraid to go against the transformation.

I feel conflicted and very uncomfortable.

Only Ye Nantian was drinking tea leisurely with a calm expression, as if nothing could arouse his emotions.

Just then, the sound of light footsteps was heard.

Everyone thought the footsteps were very familiar, so they all looked up, and soon they saw a woman in a long coarse cloth skirt slowly walking in. If it wasn't Su Yuqing, who else could it be?
brush!
Li Chungang and Hua Yunfeng stood up at the same time, staring at Su Yuqing in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

It was Hua Yunfeng who first shouted, "Junior sister, have you successfully reversed your transformation?"

Su Yuqing walked into the pavilion and bowed to Ye Nantian, who was sitting in the chief seat. "Thankfully, I have fulfilled my master's orders. Yuqing has managed to successfully reverse the transformation."

It was just a simple sentence, but it was like throwing a firecracker into a calm pool, causing it to explode with a loud bang.

Hua Yunfeng's face flushed with shock, while Li Chungang also smiled excitedly.

Su Yuqing's successful transformation gave him great encouragement, and he gradually tended to transform himself.

Ye Nantian extended his hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Princess. With the blessing of Heaven, Daqian has gained another Martial Saint. Come and sit down."

Hua Yunfeng poured tea for Su Yuqing with a smile, while Li Chungang was very humble and lowered his attitude.

There was naturally a lot of fun in the pavilion.

But Su Yuqing just felt that the feeling here was not as good as in Qixingzhai.

When she was in Qixing Village, she didn't need to be formal and could speak freely. But here, she still needed to be more formal, and she had to be careful and measured when speaking, and be decent and considerate in everything.

While drinking tea, Su Yuqing missed the smell of Qixingzhai.

"Master, I found the whereabouts of that wizard..."

As Su Yuqing changed the subject, the atmosphere on the field immediately became much more solemn.

Su Yuqing spoke in great detail, but she didn't mention the spiritual plants or the location of the underground village...

Ye Nantian finally said, "Everyone, go to bed early. Tomorrow, follow me to Longmen Town to meet this eight-armed wizard."

……

Su Yuqing returned to her residence.

Although he had broken through the Martial Saint, there was still much that needed to be consolidated.

Late at night, there was a knock on the door.

Su Yuqing had no choice but to stop sitting cross-legged, stand up and open the door, and found that it was Li Chungang who came in, "Second Brother, please come in quickly."

After inviting Li Chungang in and making him some tea, Su Yuqing got straight to the point after some pleasantries. "Second Senior Brother, why are you visiting so late at night?"

Li Chungang said with a slight embarrassment, "To be honest, although I reached the peak of the First-Rank Grandmaster two years earlier than I did, I never had the courage to reverse my transformation. I also asked Master about his experience, but he didn't explain in detail. Now that I have reached the Martial Saint Path, if you don't mind, could you please share some of your experience?"

Su Yuqing nodded slightly to show her understanding.

She had previously asked Ye Nantian about his experience in reverse metamorphosis, and Ye Nantian had been forthcoming. However, he wasn't very detailed, and was nowhere near as detailed and useful as Chen Yuer's notebook.

It is reasonable for Li Chungang to encounter the same problem.

Su Yuqing said, "It's rare that Second Senior Brother also has the ambition to transform into a new person. As your junior sister, I naturally have nothing to hide. I will write it down in a book and give it to Second Senior Brother."

"Thank you, junior sister."

……

The next day.

Xie An and Chen Yu'er changed into black clothes early and hid on a bare hill outside Longmen Town, looking at the house on the edge of the town from afar.

Over the past three months, Xie An had sensed through the seal that Puyang Bai had been practicing in seclusion in the courtyard, trying to find an opportunity as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Puyang Qing had been observing from the shadows, without making any move.

Fortunately, the spiritual plant is not an ordinary plant. Although some of its spiritual energy will dissipate after being left for three months, it will not dry up and become ineffective.

Even so, Xie An couldn't help but admire Puyang Qing.

I can actually wait three months...

So stubborn!
But now the opportunity has come.

While Ye Nantian was not there yet, the two of them started discussing.

Finally, Chen Yu'er finalized the plan. "Xie An, use the seal of forensics through Xiaobai to keep a close eye on Puyang Qing. If Puyang Qing and Ye Nantian start fighting, you stay here to provide support. I'll go and bring the spiritual plants from the courtyard over."

Xie An didn't think much about it and said, "Okay."

Chen Yu'er's strength far surpassed his own. As long as Ye Nantian and Puyang Qing started fighting, she could carry away the spiritual plant. If he followed them, it would be disadvantageous.

Xie An knew that his greatest role was to use his seal to keep an eye on the situation in the courtyard.

Thinking of this, Xie An activated the seal and sensed that Xiaobai was curled up in an inconspicuous corner outside the yard, staring at Puyang Qing opposite him.

Xiaobai was very small, like a kitten, and since it was snowing heavily, he could not be seen squatting in the snow on the wall. Unless he was a powerful cultivator who had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining and had awakened his spiritual consciousness.

Puyang Qing was sitting on a branch outside the opposite courtyard, as if he had merged into one with the snow-covered tree.

This sitting lasted for three months.

It had to be said that Puyang Qing possessed remarkable patience, like a seasoned and ruthless hunter. Only Puyang Qing himself knew that, behind this patience… lay a blazing rage.

The spiritual plants that had been cultivated for hundreds of years were all destroyed by that loser Puyang Bai.

If we don’t find the other party, we will suffer a great loss.

On the contrary, if the other party comes forward, controls it, and uses it as fertilizer, then they can make a lot of money.

It is so hard to find a living Martial Saint.

Puyang Qing invested a lot of money in this and had to show great patience.

After three months of testing his patience, Puyang Qing realized his opponent was truly evasive. But he didn't think he'd been discovered. He just needed to be more patient than him.

Early that morning, Puyang Qing's gloomy eyes suddenly moved. He saw four people walking towards the house from a distance in the wind and snow, little by little.

Finally, the four entered the house.

Puyang Qing smiled.

"Finally here... You were really well hidden. You're still a little behind me when it comes to patience."

He swung his body and leaped into the courtyard, looking coldly at the four people opposite him. "Four bastards, you finally can't help but show up."

Ok?
Ye Nantian, the leader, immediately turned unhappy when he heard the other party start cursing. "You are the Eight-Armed Wizard, right? I am Ye Nantian, and I have come here to have a good talk with you."

"There's nothing to talk about with a thief like you. Once I capture you, I'll use you as fertilizer." Puyang Qing threw out a black stick without saying a word.

The stick was not thrown very fast, but it became faster and faster after it was thrown, and finally turned into a black light as fast as a stream of light, rushing towards Ye Nantian.

It is already the method of a martial saint, the art of wielding a sword.

But what he used was a stick.

"You retreat!" Ye Nantian didn't dare to be careless. He immediately shouted back Li Chungang, Hua Yunfeng, and Su Yuqing, then raised his sword and charged forward. Suddenly, there was a loud "clang." The stick and sword collided fiercely, causing a hurricane-like tsunami that shook the earth violently.

Li Chungang and the others knew that this was the method of the Martial Saint and they had no right to interfere. If they were not careful, they might be killed by the Armed Control Technique.

Ye Nantian and the eight-armed wizard were seen constantly controlling their respective weapons, colliding and circling each other wildly in mid-air, making loud "clang clang clang" sounds. The storm they caused swept across the fields and melted the flying snow.

Soon, the two weapons were so fast that Li Chungang and Hua Yunfeng could no longer see them. They only felt pain in their eardrums and the ground shaking.

"I'm going to help."

At this moment, Su Yuqing took out the sword ball and flicked it outwards. Thousands of sword threads surged towards Puyang Qing like a waterfall.

Puyang Qing was already worried because he had been unable to defeat Ye Nantian for so long. Suddenly, seeing another Martial Saint join in, he felt a little uneasy. After manipulating the black stick to deflect the sword attack, he used the momentum to leap out of the yard, furiously saying, "The thieves are just taking advantage of their numbers. Come at them one by one if you dare."

"Who's going to follow you one by one?" Su Yuqing and Ye Nantian did not let him go, chasing him all the way. Puyang Qing had no choice but to fight and retreat, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack and defeat them one by one.

"Chase."

Seeing this, Li Chungang and Hua Yunfeng, who were stranded in the yard, followed him out without thinking.

What no one noticed was that Puyang Bai, who had been hiding in the room, slipped out at this moment and drove away in the hidden spiritual plant carriage.

……

"Master, this person has hidden in the Cloud Wasteland. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him for a while." Su Yuqing followed Ye Nantian out of Longmen for a long way. After reaching the edge of the Cloud Wasteland, they completely lost the trace of the eight-armed monk.

Ye Nantian sighed repeatedly, thinking to himself: This person is a rare fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator, he must have a source of spiritual energy. If we can find this person, we will have great rewards.

"How did the princess know about this person?"

Su Yuqing had already thought of an excuse. "I successfully reversed my starvation transformation a while ago and stopped by Longmen Town to rest for a few days. I discovered a powerful cultivator lurking in this courtyard. I asked a few local elders, and they all said they had seen an eight-armed man here before. So I assumed the cultivator in the courtyard was the eight-armed man."

Ye Nantian said: "This man has evil ambitions, we must not let him go. Princess, stay here as a backup, I will go after the thief."

"Master, be careful."

Ye Nantian rushed into the wilderness and disappeared.

Not long after, Li Chungang and Hua Yunfeng rushed over, breathless. Hua Yunfeng was particularly excited, "Did you catch the thief?"

Su Yuqing shook her head. "This thief is very cunning. Master has gone after him. Let us stay here to provide support."

Li Chungang and Hua Yunfeng nodded repeatedly in agreement.

……

Soon after Ye Nantian entered the Cloud Wasteland, he was sure he had completely left Su Yuqing's path. He immediately transformed into a shadow and changed his route. He left the Cloud Wasteland from another point and quickly ran towards the house in Longmen Town.

His eyes shone brightly. "I sensed a large amount of spiritual energy in that house, no less than what I have accumulated. If I could obtain it, it would be a great help. This trip to Yunzhou would be worthwhile."

Besides, the princess's statement is not rigorous and seems off. Let's get the spiritual plant first."

He ran all the way, and when he arrived at the house, the feeling of spiritual energy disappeared.

Ok?
What about aura?
Ye Nantian rushed into the room quickly and found it empty.

Got fooled!?

This was Ye Nantian's instinct. He immediately left the room, but felt a black light rushing towards him from behind. Even though he immediately controlled the flying sword to resist, he was still scratched with a conspicuous wound.

"You old thing! How dare you come back!?" The eight-armed wizard rushed in from the yard with a look of rage.

Ye Nantian raised his hand to control his sword and retreated step by step. He thought to himself that he had been tricked.

At that moment, the eight-armed wizard shouted, "Tell me quickly, where did you hide the spiritual plant?"

Ye Nantian was also angry and said coldly: "You used the spiritual plant to lure me into the game, lured me out of the house, and then arranged for others to take the spiritual plant away. And you still ask me?"

The eight-armed wizard didn't believe it at all. "Still pretending. Wait until I capture you and use you as fertilizer."

Seeing that they could not reach an agreement, the two people felt that the other party was hypocritical and lying, and felt that there was no point in talking since they were not on the same page, so they simply stopped talking and decided to fight to the death.

Puyang Qing was clearly one level higher in cultivation than Ye Nantian, and logically should have had the upper hand. However, he discovered that the flying sword in his opponent's hand was exceptionally sharp, occasionally unleashing the power of thunder. This thunderous force severely restrained Puyang Qing's sorcery, and for a moment, he was unable to defeat the opponent.

Ye Nantian was also complaining bitterly at this moment. After all, the opponent's cultivation was one level higher than his. The reason he was able to hold on was nothing more than relying on the thunder-attributed Canglong Sacred Weapon to resist. As the attack continued, the Canglong Sacred Weapon continued to be damaged.

If this trend continues, the Canglong Holy Army will collapse sooner or later.

He could already see that it was only a matter of time before the other party won.

Finally, Ye Nantian decided to abandon the Holy Weapon, the Thunder Sword. He controlled the Thunder Sword to unleash lightning, struck out with his strongest strike, and then ran away without looking back.

"Don't run away, thief!" Puyang Qing was entangled by the Thunder Sword for a moment. When he broke free from the small Thunder Sword, he found that Ye Nantian had already rushed out a thousand meters away. He roared and chased after him without saying a word.

After chasing for more than ten miles, Puyang Qing lost his target. In the end, he was so angry that he pulled up several large trees around him and threw them away.

He has eight arms, so pulling out a few trees is very easy for him.

"Damn it! He ran away! The spiritual plant is gone too. Puyang Bai, you bastard, don't let me see you!"
