Mortal: I have a gathering technique

One hour later.

Fang Qing controlled the Azure Wind Boat and landed near an inconspicuous hill.

The hill was ordinary, shrouded in a light mist, with some green bamboo faintly visible among it.

"This should be it."

Fang Qing looked at it from afar for a while, then took out a small black flag from his storage bag and stuck it into the ground.

The flag moved without wind, and a wisp of white mist appeared out of thin air, slowly spreading in all directions.

As Fang Qing was enveloped by the white mist, his figure gradually blurred and eventually disappeared.

Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, it was the fifth day.

As dawn broke, Fang Qing opened his eyes amidst the white mist, his gaze fixed intently on the distant hill.

soon.

The mist on the mountain began to swirl and gradually thinned, eventually revealing the lush green bamboo covering the mountainside.

A figure in blue descended gracefully from the bamboo forest.

"It's finally here. It wasn't for nothing that I've been waiting here for so many days."

Upon seeing the figure in blue, Fang Qing's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face.

The woman in blue was unaware that Fang Qing had already set her sights on her. After leaving the bamboo mountain, she released a cloud-patterned handkerchief, sat cross-legged on it, and flew away into the sky.

Once the man in blue was far from the bamboo mountain, Fang Qing put away the small black flag and steered the Green Wind Boat to follow closely behind.

Before long, Fang Qing caught up to the man in blue and caught up to him within a mile.

At this moment, the woman in blue also noticed Fang Qing. She glanced back and saw that the newcomer had a refined demeanor and a friendly expression, which reassured her somewhat.

However, just to be safe, she still controlled Yunpa to shift to the side, intending to distance herself from Fang Qing.

Fang Qing saw through the blue-clad man's thoughts and suddenly increased his magical power. The speed of the Azure Wind Boat instantly soared, closing the distance to within thirty feet of the blue-clad man in a flash. At the same time, he called out loudly:

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

The man in blue was taken aback and couldn't guess Fang Qing's intentions for a moment. He quickly took out a blue shield and held it in front of him.

"Please stop immediately!"

The woman in blue frowned and shouted, her beautiful eyes fixed on Fang Qing.

Fang Qing stopped the Azure Wind Boat as instructed and said with a gentle smile, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be nervous. I have no ill intentions."

As he spoke, he subtly sized up the man in blue.

This is a young woman in her late teens. Her features are not particularly outstanding, but she has a very special temperament that gives people a sense of tranquility.

Fang Qing had seen Xin Ruyin's appearance in Qi Yunxiao's memory, and she looked exactly like the girl in front of her.

On the other side, Xin Ruyin still dared not relax her vigilance for a moment, her beautiful eyes glaring at Fang Qing, coldly demanding:

"Since you meant no harm, why did you chase after me without even a word?"

Fang Qing smiled and said calmly:

"If I truly intended to harm you, fellow Daoist, with your abilities, I fear you would be powerless to retaliate."

After saying that, he flipped his hand over, and a fiery red spear slowly rotated in his palm, with a scorching aura emanating from the spear.

"A top-tier magical artifact!"

Xin Ruyin's pretty face darkened, and a sense of despair welled up in her heart. The shield in her hand was only a high-level magic weapon, and her cultivation level was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

If Fang Qing were to make a move, she would indeed have no chance of winning.

"Now you believe it!"

Fang Qing raised an eyebrow and casually put away the fiery red spear.

Seeing this, Xin Ruyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and began to trust Fang Qing's words.

With a swift movement, she retrieved the shield into her palm and asked calmly:

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you to my attention?"

Fang Qing's smile vanished, and he said solemnly, "I said I came to save your life, young lady. Do you believe me?"

Xin Ruyin's pretty face turned cold: "This humble woman lives a secluded life and has never offended any other fellow Daoists. How could my life be in danger?"

Fang Qing shook his head, his gaze fixed on the girl, and said softly, "It's not an external enemy, but an internal cause!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something, and she fell silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Fang Qing guessed that Xin Ruyin must have already discovered her condition, and immediately asked tentatively:

"Have you ever heard of the Dragon's Roar Body, young lady?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin looked at Fang Qing with a puzzled expression.

Fang Qing's heart stirred, and he roughly understood the condition of Xin Ruyin's Dragon Roar Body.

The Dragon Roar Body is a latent constitution that is generally undetectable to most people.

In the original story, after Xin Ruyin's reincarnation, Tian Qin'er, was born, Wen Siyue, a Core Formation cultivator, did not notice his daughter's Dragon Roar Body.

Without external triggers, the symptoms of the Dragon Roar Body will only manifest spontaneously in the later stages.

As expected, Xin Ruyin has only recently developed symptoms, to the point that she herself is unaware that she possesses the Dragon Roar Physique.

Thinking of this, Fang Qing looked intently at Xin Ruyin and said with a firm tone:

"If I'm not mistaken, the yin and yang energies within your body are already showing signs of imbalance, aren't they?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin could no longer maintain her composure and bit her lip as she asked:

"What else do you know, fellow Daoist?"

Fang Qing didn't answer, but instead took out a jade slip and tossed it over.

"You'll know at a glance, young lady."

Xin Ruyin raised her hand to catch the jade slip, stared at Fang Qing for a while, and slowly placed the jade slip on her forehead.

The jade slip contained very little information; it mainly recorded matters related to the "Dragon's Roar Body."

When Xin Ruyin saw the phrases such as "the imbalance of Yin and Yang energies causes the cultivator's life force to gradually wither, and he will not live past forty years old," her eyes darkened, and for a moment she lost her composure.

At the same moment, Fang Qing kept a close eye on Xin Ruyin's changes. The instant she lost her composure, he didn't hesitate and with a quick flash, he caught Xin Ruyin off guard and swiftly bound her with the black rope.

"you!"

Xin Ruyin was shocked, but the next moment, Fang Qing sealed her primordial spirit with a divine-suppressing talisman, and she lost consciousness.

Looking at the unconscious Xin Ruyin, Fang Qing touched his nose. He had only "kidnapped" men before, so he didn't feel much of a problem. But now that it was a woman, he felt like a womanizer...

……

Several days later, Xin Ruyin woke up peacefully in a secluded cave.

She leaned against the mountain wall, her right hand tightly gripping a jade slip, her fingers turning white from the force.

The moment Fang Qing captured her, her mind went blank, and she couldn't imagine what would happen to her.

However, when she woke up, she found that the result was far beyond her expectations.

Not only was she not violated in any way, but her symptoms also lessened.

In addition, they received one top-tier magic artifact and three high-tier magic artifacts as compensation.

However, none of these things mattered to her; what mattered was the jade slip that recorded the "Dragon's Roar Body".

When she woke up, she found a message in the jade slip.

The man who kidnapped her told her that her Dragon Roar Body was difficult to cure, and if she wanted to live and was willing to believe him, she could go to the market town of Huangfeng Valley in Yue Kingdom to find him.

Xin Ruyin initially didn't believe the words of someone who had kidnapped her without any reason, nor should she have, but the fact that the other party didn't harm her forced her to believe them...

At that moment, Xin Ruyin felt her mind go completely blank.
