Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 447 An Immense Gift: Chongxiao City, Medicine King Valley

As for the other forces, they were all intimidated by the resounding reputation of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect and dared not act rashly.

After all, the Nine Netherworld Demonic Sect is a super power on par with the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Its prestige and strength should not be underestimated.

Saintess Pei Ziyan's offer undoubtedly represents the will of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect, and who would dare to easily disobey it?

The various factions couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the immortal sword was destined to be out of their reach.

However, they were also secretly making their own plans:

Given the opportunity, it's entirely possible to snatch it from Pei Ziyan...

In the end, Pei Ziyan successfully bought the immortal sword for the astronomical price of 1.5 million top-grade Xuan Crystals.

The transaction then proceeded swiftly.

Pei Ziyan readily lent Li Qingyuan 300,000 top-grade Xuanjing crystals, helping him complete the transaction.

Soon after, the two experts, Ao Ni Chang and Xuan Cang, appeared in person, accepted the Xuan Crystal with smiles, and left satisfied.

The moment Li Qingyuan received the Qixia Sword.

He then felt a slight tremor coming from inside the sword.

It was as if it too was overjoyed at regaining its freedom.

However, this is not the time for sentimentality.

They had to leave as soon as possible to avoid being targeted.

In the blink of an eye, the group packed their belongings and prepared to leave!

Fortunately, Pei Ziyan somehow obtained a special passage.

She led everyone across the boundless sea, heading straight for the northern coast.

......

------

After a stick of incense.

Beside the coast of the Northern Sea.

The sound of waves crashing against the shore.

The group arrived at this vast and desolate land, weary from their journey.

Pei Ziyan stood gracefully before the crowd, her eyes sparkling with a charming smile.

Before leaving, she gently handed Li Qingyuan an exquisite spatial ring, a slight smile playing on her lips, and whispered:

"You can store items inside this spatial ring that you can use for your future cultivation. Consider it another favor you owe me, so now you have two conditions."

Li Qingyuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and before she could understand its meaning, Pei Ziyan had already taken the hand of the old woman in the black robe who exuded rolling demonic energy and turned to leave.

After Pei Ziyan and the other person gradually disappeared into the distance, Li Qingyuan slowly opened the spatial ring.

Everywhere you look.

I was immediately stunned by the sight before me—

Inside, there was surprisingly a giant leg of the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Scale Beast'!

Pei Ziyan has truly given him an incredible gift!

However, Li Qingyuan's first thought was to return it.

But when they looked up, Pei Ziyan and the other person had already disappeared into the vast sky, leaving no trace.

Left with no other choice, he could only give a wry smile and carefully put away the spatial ring.

......

------

Beside Li Qingyuan, the tall old yellow ox trembled with excitement, its entire body covered in yellow fur.

It stared wide-eyed, like copper bells, and kept shouting:

"Cultivate! Quickly find a place to cultivate in seclusion! Cultivation is wonderful; it's an incredible opportunity..."

Its sound was like a booming bell, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

In the distance, in the sky.

Pei Ziyan seemed to sense something and gently turned her head to glance at her.

Her black hair fluttered in the wind, adding to her stunning beauty.

She thought to herself:

"Now let's see how you escape from my grasp..."

She had already seen that Li Qingyuan was a person who valued loyalty and righteousness, so she presented him with two great favors!

The process of getting her back on track is a long and arduous one, but she's not in a hurry.

Anyway, they will meet again someday, and one day she will succeed.

She always inexplicably felt that she had an inseparable connection with the white-robed youth, 'Li Musu'.

The other person seemed to be her destined tribulation, so she needed to bravely overcome it, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead.

......

------

Three days later, time quietly passed.

Since their hasty retreat from the Northern Sea, the group found a quiet place in Yunxi City and settled down temporarily.

Over the next three days, they carefully observed their surroundings. Seeing that nothing unusual had happened, the weight on their hearts gradually lifted.

Today is the day we part ways.

They are about to embark on their own paths of secluded cultivation in pursuit of higher levels of martial arts.

Li Qingyuan gently held Su Yaoyue's soft, boneless hand, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection, and whispered:

"Yaoyao, go back home without worry."

"Go into seclusion and cultivate diligently to improve your strength."

"Don't miss me too much..."

"See you at the Gathering of Prodigies in 100 days."

Indeed, everyone had already agreed to renew their friendship and celebrate this grand martial arts event at the unprecedented Tianjiao Conference.

Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyue's lips curled into a playful smile, and she teased:

"Well, while I'm away, you better not get involved with other women, or I won't let you off easily."

She wasn't actually worried about Li Qingyuan's safety, since he was going to accompany Yue Qinghuan to the Medicine King Valley of the Treasure Pavilion.

The medicinal materials needed by Elder Hua have been basically gathered.

This trip was not only to ensure the safety of Elder Hua, but also to find a secluded place to temporarily avoid the limelight.

After all, the series of earth-shattering events that occurred at this grand ceremony would surely sweep through the streets and alleys of Zhongzhou like a whirlwind, becoming world-famous.

They also need time to process and cope with these changes.

"Uh, no, no."

Li Qingyuan quickly waved her hand and said with a serious expression.

At this moment, Su Yaoyue is the only one in his heart, so how could he possibly be interested in other women?

After chatting for a while, everyone said goodbye, their eyes filled with reluctance and anticipation.

In the end, they parted ways, each returning to their own homes to pursue their own spiritual practice.

Yu Yangzi also left happily with the 'Blood Soul Evil Pearl', and no one knows where he went.

As for Jiang Nan, he set off alone. He came to Zhongzhou to gain experience, so naturally he would not stay by Li Qingyuan's side.

However, Li Qingyuan and Jiang Nan were both very happy to have made such a close friend with someone they met by chance.

The two have been exchanging ideas a lot these past few days, discussing philosophy, talking about everything under the sun, and enjoying each other's company immensely.

Therefore, Jiang Nan was somewhat reluctant to leave.

Fortunately, the two agreed to meet again at the Heavenly Pride Conference in 100 days.

Li Qingyuan followed Yue Qinghuan, along with the old ox who was already incredibly excited and practically floating on air.

The three of them left together, their figures gradually disappearing into the distance.

......

------

Time flies, like a fleeting moment; five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the central plains, in the southern borderlands, a magnificent city stands proudly.

This is Chongxiao City!

In the center of the city, the teleportation array was flashing with dazzling white light.

As the light faded, three figures slowly stepped out.

One of them was tall and upright, standing proudly like a pine tree;

The other person was dressed in a white robe, pure as snow, untouched by any dust, as if a banished immortal had descended to earth;

There was another woman, whose beauty was unparalleled and whose elegance was beyond compare, like a delicate flower blooming in the mortal world.

These three people were none other than Li Qingyuan and her group.

Since setting off from the northern part of Zhongzhou, the three of them had been traveling without taking a long break.

Most of the time, they were racing against time to get somewhere.

Because Elder Hua's fate was uncertain, they had already wasted some precious time. Now, they had to seize every second they could.

Fortunately, the teleportation array provided them with great convenience.

Otherwise, relying solely on their own flight, it would have taken them countless days to cross this vast distance.

......

------

Their goal was very clear. As soon as they stepped out of the teleportation array, they rushed towards the south gate of Chongxiao City without hesitation.

The renowned "Medicine King Valley" is hidden in a secluded and quiet mountain area thousands of miles south of Chongxiao City.

At this moment, Elder Hua is in Medicine King Valley, where he is being treated personally by Medicine King "Mu Qingyang".

The treatment has now lasted for more than two months, but the exact situation remains unknown.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyuan and the other two were extremely anxious and rushed out of Chongxiao City like arrows released from a bow.

Once outside the city, the three of them hurried along.

Wherever they went, the wind howled like a beast, making their clothes flutter and wave like battle flags in the wind.

The strong wind even made their faces tremble slightly, as if they were being gently pricked by countless tiny needles.

Seeing this, the three of them decisively used their own protective techniques.

A flash of light appeared, and a transparent shield enveloped them, protecting them from the raging gale.

At the same time, on the earth, rolling yellow sand rose from the ground like surging waves, instantly sweeping across the sky and earth.

The yellow sand obscured the sky and the sun, as if covering the whole world with a thick yellow curtain, making it impossible to distinguish east from west.
