They are the women standing behind me.

"of course."

Ye Yunmei blinked her captivating peach blossom eyes, "Even if we attend as guest monks of the Yuling Sect, no one will suspect that we are your Taoist companions. Besides, Junior Brother Qin can concentrate on refining the elixir, and I and your Senior Sister Gu can take advantage of this time to go as far as we can. It would be best if we could leave Junior Brother Qin so far behind that he can't even see our backs. If Junior Brother Qin needs our help in the future, wouldn't we have to serve us wholeheartedly?"

"Senior Sister Ye, this requires a lot of preparation. This Eight Sects Competition is not just for the eight major factions, but also for the vassal small and medium-sized factions, and even many foreign cultivators who participate under the title of guest officials."

Qin Xingyuan smiled and said, "I'll refine more pills, draw more talismans, etc. The further the two sisters go, the happier I will be."

"Junior Brother Qin, you."

Ye Yunmei smiled lightly, "Anyway, we have spirit stones, so we can go to the Chamber of Commerce to buy them. You can just focus on refining the elixir. Why bother taking up Junior Brother Qin's time when spirit stones can solve the problem?"

The two walked and talked all the way, and then Ye Yunmei asked curiously: "Junior Brother Qin, does practicing dual cultivation with me feel different from practicing with your Senior Sister Gu, Ji Ningyan, or even Wen Yirong?"

Qin Xingyuan looked at Ye Yunmei and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Ye, I really don't care. How about you go with Senior Sister Gu next time, and I can experience the different beauty of the two sisters?"

"Junior Brother Qin, you actually have the nerve to say such utterly shameless things."

Ye Yunmei said with a half-smile, "Then tell your Senior Sister Gu about the Eight Sects Competition. But after half a year, we will definitely have to leave temporarily. Junior Brother Qin will be very lonely alone."

"Senior Sister Ye and Senior Sister Gu will always be in my heart and will always be with me."

Qin Xingyuan finished laughing before he said softly, "Senior Sisters Ye and Gu always have things they want to do. If it weren't for the Human Emperor Tower, all they could do was practice dual cultivation and practice cultivation. I've actually been greatly limiting them. To be honest, I also hope they become strong, not with my help, but on their own."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunmei looked at him in surprise.

"Otherwise you will feel like you owe me too much and give me too little."

Qin Xingyuan raised his right hand and gave a thumbs-up. "And you earned it all by yourself. Junior brother, I am just the icing on the cake. That's when you can be proud and proud. If you ever have a quarrel with me in the future, you can confidently say that I don't rely on you to make a living, and I can live without you. Anyway, no matter what the two senior sisters want to do, I will support you."

"Ah."

Ye Yunmei nodded, then smiled charmingly, "Junior Brother Qin, please go find your Senior Sister Gu tonight and let her have a good night's rest. Her spirit is still flying in the sky and hasn't returned yet."

……

Next.

Qin Xingyuan was still refining pills, practicing dual cultivation with Senior Sister Gu and Senior Sister Ye.

time flies.

He was almost sick of refining the elixir until now, and he felt overwhelmed when he saw all the rare treasures.

Of course, Feng Liangji had already sent two tokens of guest monks, and even came to visit today to say that the Eight Sects Competition was about to begin.

Gu Yirou and Ye Yunmei didn't say anything about parting, but Gu Yirou did keep reminding them of many things. Feng Liangji listened from the side, his old face changed and his scalp felt numb.

"Yiro, stop talking nonsense and go!" Ye Yunmei urged unhappily.

"Junior Brother Qin, remember to contact us if you have any questions."

After saying this, Gu Yirou couldn't help but said worriedly, "Senior Sister is really worried about you going alone. Why don't you come with us, Junior Brother Qin?"

"Yirou, Junior Brother Qin still needs to refine the elixir."

Ye Yunmei immediately pulled Gu Yirou away. Gu Yirou sighed as she left the room. After a while, she looked at Feng Liangji and said, "Fellow Daoist Feng..."

"!"

Feng Liangji seemed to feel a chill down his spine, his body trembling, and he laughed dryly in fear, "I wonder what Fairy Gu has to say?"

"Can you talk to us in detail about the Eight Sects Competition?" Gu Yirou asked.

"Of course."

Feng Liangji breathed a sigh of relief and sighed inwardly, "This Qin Wudi is truly terrifying. If I were you, I would have kicked this woman away long ago."

……

Senior Sister Gu and Senior Sister Ye left temporarily to participate in the grand event of the Qianjie Domain Eight Sects Competition. Although Qin Xingyuan felt a little empty, they wanted to go because they actually wanted to become stronger or something, so he was happy for them.

He really wouldn't stop them, let alone keep them tied to him.

He also continued to go to the alchemy room to start making pills.

When Senior Sister Gu and Senior Sister Ye were not around, he really worked day and night, throwing himself into it wholeheartedly, as if he had gone completely crazy. He would practice for a while, read the alchemy experiences of the Wandan Xianzong's founder and powerful alchemists, and then actually practiced them, and then combined these experiences to gradually absorb and digest them in a real sense.

And he was so immersed in the world of alchemy that he really couldn't feel the passage of time.

Of course, he would also chat with Senior Sister Ye and Senior Sister Gu through sound transmission notes.

It was unknown how long it had passed before he found out the recipe for refining the Creation Pill, and then he carefully looked at the various steps written down by the founder of the Wandan Immortal Sect after he successfully refined the Creation Pill.

Very tedious.

The alchemy array, alchemy furnace, various spiritual fires, etc. need to be switched continuously at the same time.

You must continue refining the elixir for 49 days.

If any step goes wrong during the process, the alchemy will fail completely.

The materials for this Creation Pill were indeed extremely valuable and difficult to collect. If he failed in refining the pill, it would be almost impossible for him to collect one on his own - it would require the whole clan's strength, and it would take time and a lot of connections to gather the necessary materials.

So after much thought, he decided to continue refining pills for a while, and then start refining again when he was more advanced and powerful.

But Qin Xingyuan was also very conflicted. If he refined the elixir in his residence in Xiuxian City, it would certainly not be affected. But if a strange phenomenon really occurred, then...

However, if I go out to find a place to refine the elixir, what if something goes wrong, for example, two cultivators are fighting nearby and I am affected by them, resulting in failure in refining the elixir?

Just when Qin Xingyuan was feeling troubled and confused, he never expected that Lu Guangze, a powerful independent cultivator who had "plots" against him, came.

He was surprised. It turned out that someone handed him a pillow just when he was dozing off!

Chapter 277: You just need to answer whether you want to or not

Looking at Lu Guangze, who hadn't changed at all, Qin Xingyuan said with a mixture of surprise and joy, "Senior Lu, long time no see."

He still remembered that Nangong Taiyou had said that Lu Guangze left the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect in order to buy the descendants of his ancestors' invincible bloodline.

Anyway, Lu Guangze is a casual cultivator who dares to think and act.

"My dear Qin, I didn't expect you to be so happy to see me."

Lu Guangze put his hands behind his back and said calmly, without the strange feeling of not having seen each other for a long time. "And you are working on refining the elixir again?"

"Well, I have quite a few materials to make the Creation Pill. If Senior Lu needs it, I can give you one once I refine it."

Qin Xingyuan was not stingy, as he had some left over anyway.

"I have reached this level now. I don't need any elixirs or natural treasures anymore."

Lu Guangze said rudely, "You'd better keep it for yourself."

"Where has Senior Lu been recently?" Qin Xingyuan asked knowingly.

"I went to some forces that had produced unrivaled forces."

Lu Guangze said with a bad face: "Damn it, I used five complete inheritances of great figures to ask them to buy a low-level Tianjiao female cultivator, but they refused to sell it to me! Just treat it as a treasure!"

Qin Xingyuan said unhappily, "Senior Lu, you'd better not do this kind of thing."

"I don't need a young man like you to interfere in my own affairs."

Lu Guangze frowned and said, "Come to think of it, I also heard that you have several Taoist companions. Why is it that none of them have any gestational problems?"

“Senior Lu, things like this are all about fate.”

Qin Xingyuan said, "After all, female cultivators are different from ordinary women. They don't follow those rules."

"I will stay in this world for a thousand years at most, and then I will have to transcend the tribulation."

Lu Guangze's tone was complex, and he said with regret and sadness, "I don't know if I can wait for this precious disciple of mine. I still regret not going to the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect a hundred years earlier and missing out on you."

No matter how much he admired and liked Qin Xingyuan, he was already a member of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, so it was impossible for him to pass on the tradition.

"I may not succeed in overcoming the tribulation, and I really don't want to die and lose my skills. For powerful forces, inheritance is the top priority, but the same is true for independent cultivators like us."

Lu Guangze sighed with a sense of loss and said, "At our level, everything is easy to obtain, but it is truly difficult to find a disciple."

"Senior Lu..."

Qin Xingyuan didn't want to talk about this either, so he coughed dryly and said, "I have something I want to ask for your help."

"For the sake of you being the father of my beloved disciple, please speak." Lu Guangze gestured.

Qin Xingyuan's face was filled with black lines as he said, "I want to refine the Creation Pill. When I do, I would like to ask Senior Lu to protect me and prevent anyone from disturbing me. Is that okay?"

"can."

Lu Guangze nodded and agreed readily.

"Also, I have obtained powerful techniques such as the Tenfold Seal of the Profound Heaven. If Senior Lu succeeds in his cultivation, he should become even stronger..."

Qin Xingyuan had just said this when Lu Guangze said calmly, "Come on, don't even think about repaying my favor! I don't repay favors so easily. If I can't wait in the Immortal Realm, I'll go through the tribulation and wait in the Immortal Realm! Don't underestimate my determination! Since I want to accept a disciple, I must accept him!"

Qin Xingyuan was fucking dumbfounded.

"About when, give me a time. If it's soon, I won't leave. If it takes some time, I certainly can't just sit there and watch you refine the pill."

Lu Guangze went straight to the point.

"one year later!"

Qin Xingyuan said seriously.

"I will come back in a year." Lu Guangze said, "Is there anything else? If not, I will leave for now."

"Senior Lu, everything is fine."

As soon as Qin Xingyuan finished speaking, Lu Guangze came and went quickly.

Qin Xingyuan took out the Yin-Yang Fairy Jade he was wearing. Lu Guangze probably knew where he was through this, right?

Then he put it away and continued to make the elixir.

……

Qin Xingyuan naturally did not expect that Lu Guangze would run directly to Tianxin Territory and go to the vicinity of Tiannv Fairy Palace. In one place, he stood with his hands behind his back, his black hair fluttering in the wind.

"Greetings, Senior Lu."

Soon, he heard Xu Xingwei's voice and turned around to look.

"Xu Xiaoyou, long time no see."

Lu Guangze said calmly, "I accidentally learned that Qi Yanxi, the son of Qi Taishang of Tianya Prefecture and the sword cultivator, is very fond of Xu Xiaoyou, so I know you are here."

Xu Xingwei asked doubtfully, "What does Senior Lu want to talk to me about?"

"I just came here to ask, is Mr. Xu still interested in Mr. Qin?" Lu Guangze asked.

Xu Xingwei frowned upon hearing this, and said awkwardly and embarrassedly, "Senior Lu, I have never had any interest in him. I only wanted to resolve the grudge between the sect and him..."

"I don't want to waste time talking to you. If you want to become a Taoist partner with Qin Xingyuan, I can help to make the connection, just like I did back then."

Lu Guangze looked like an unfathomable master. "You only need to answer whether you want to or not. Of course, you can think about it carefully. This is a matter of great importance to your life. Women are afraid of marrying the wrong Taoist partner. I understand that, so I am willing to give you some time."

Xu Xingwei looked at him in disbelief, but said nothing.

After all, before leaving the sect, I listened to what the elders of the sect and the spirit of the Zhentian Immortal Sword said, and now I keep listening to what the spirits of the three Zhenzong swords say, so there must be some influence.

Furthermore, speaking from a clear conscience, putting aside all that nonsense, just looking at Qin Xingyuan, he has both good looks and terrifying strength. Almost everyone believes that he will become invincible...

Apart from his rather conceited and arrogant personality, he is top-notch in every aspect and no one can compare to him.

So, since this female cultivator was looked down upon even by him, she didn't know what kind of male cultivator she was looking for.

"I will stay in Tianxin Territory for a while and wait for your reply."

Lu Guangze continued, "I have finished speaking, you can leave now."

At that moment, Xu Xingwei raised her hands, clasped her fists, greeted him, and turned to leave.

Lu Guangze stared at her back and smiled faintly, "Didn't she say she didn't want to right away? It seems like she really does miss you a little bit?"

If a woman really has no interest in you, she will probably reject you without even thinking about it and won't really consider it.

How could he not understand this when he has come this far?

So as long as you don't say no right away, but really go back and think about it, then the final result of your consideration...

Lu Guangze felt that there was no need to think too much about it.

"She also has an invincible bloodline..."

Lu Guangze was thoughtful. "If it really works, if it happens quickly, that would be great. But this Qin Xingyuan is truly amazing... I didn't expect that I thought I had overestimated him, but in the end I still underestimated him."
