"… "
Perhaps, the demon king knows some clues.
Under the hall, Chu Qi withdrew his gaze and had an idea in his mind.
I just don't know when I'll have the chance to verify it...

After the contract was signed, everyone from the Yunyin Realm was settled on the Zizai Peak, along with other outsiders from the Yunhua Realm.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of opening the teleportation array between the two worlds, the immortal sects in the Yunhua Realm discussed that they could set up a temporary temple in the Tianxuan Sect and invite elite disciples or immortals from various sects to preach.
The forces of the Yunyin Realm were also invited.
"The Ling family's Taoism can only be practiced by members of the Ling family. It cannot be passed on to outsiders. So I will not get involved in this matter." The head of the Ling family politely declined the offer.
"We, the demon race, are naturally willing to participate in such a grand event, but the cultivation methods of humans and demons are different, so it may not be effective."
Hu Jiu raised the corner of his lips, agreed to this matter, and at the same time turned his curious eyes to the side.
Rather than discussing the Dao itself, he was more curious about the attitudes of the Yan Family and Yaowang Valley.
Under the curious gazes of everyone in the Hidden Cloud Realm, Yan Mingchao nodded slightly, "Okay, the Yan family will participate in this matter."
As soon as Yan Mingchao finished speaking, everyone in the Hidden Cloud Realm showed surprised expressions. This is the Yan family, and the head of the Yan family is actually willing to discuss the Dao.
After the Yan family is Yaowang Valley.
Among the many cultivators and humanoid monsters, only the guardian beast of Yaowang Valley still stands before humans in the form of a phoenix.
It can actually speak human language—
"The world's medical skills are all passed down from the sacred tree. Medicine King Valley will not refuse such a mission."
"But the master of my Medicine King Valley is still going through tribulations, so I can only preach with the Shadow Resting Stone."
Hearing the words of the fairy beast, everyone was excited. It was rumored that Medicine King Valley was built based on the sacred tree, but rumors were just rumors after all, and since Medicine King Valley had been hidden for many years, no one could confirm this.
Now, the rumors are true, Yaowang Valley does have a special connection with the sacred tree.
"It is a blessing for both worlds that you are willing to preach." Elder Ming of Tianxuan Sect was all smiles. The negotiations with the cultivators of Yunyin Realm were smoother than he had expected.

Soon, the discussion on Taoism reached the ears of Chu Qi and others.
At that time, Liu Weiming was ordered by the head of the sect to come and tell Yan Jiuge that he also had a part in the discussion of Taoism.
As the chief disciple of Tianxuan Sect, Yan Jiuge is naturally a leader among the cultivators of the same generation.
"I understand. Thank you, Junior Brother Liu, for telling me."
"You're welcome. We are all looking forward to hearing from our Senior Brother the Swordsmanship." As a fellow swordsman disciple, Liu Weiming was also looking forward to this.
After Liu Weiming left, only Yan Jiuge and Chu Qi were left in the courtyard.
Their eyes met, and Chu Qi talked about the previous topic, "You just said that you are actually a member of the Yan family in Yunyin Realm?"
"Yes."
"There was no teleportation array between the two worlds at that time, how did you get here?"
"Some special means were used."
"… "
Yan Jiuge answered every question and told all he knew, which gradually calmed Chu Qi's curiosity.
Although I still want to know more information, it would be a bit presumptuous to ask further.
Before he found out the reason completely, Chu Qi restrained his attitude towards Yan Jiuge.
After all, some things, once they start, can get out of control.
"I'm going to deliver some medicinal herbs to Senior Sister Bai Xuan." Chu Qi changed the subject.
Recently, many of the sect missions he completed were about finding spiritual medicines. For a sword cultivator, finding spiritual medicines was not easy, but for him it was very easy.
As it was also one of the unexpected events, Chu Qi spent more time thinking about it, hoping to get some clues.
"I'll go with you." Yan Jiuge followed suit.
"Let's do it another day. Can you help me feed Xiao Jin today? I just happened to buy some spiritual pet food from Fellow Daoist Yun from the Beast Taming Sect."
Chu Qi summoned Xiao Jin and handed him over to Yan Jiuge's care.
Yan Jiuge: “…”
After all, I couldn't refuse Chu Qi
In response to the request, Yan Jiuge stayed where he was, staring at the gold-eating beast with a round belly with displeasure.
Noticing Yan Jiuge's gaze, the gold-eating beast raised its tail and purred at him twice, as if in protest.
Yan Jiuge sighed.
In a moment, the gold-eating beast immediately dropped its tail and quickly rushed into the ground holding the spiritual pet food.
It could feel that there seemed to be an invisible sword energy condensing in the air just now.
If its owner wasn't busy, it wouldn't want to eat the food Yan Jiuge fed it.

Zhongling Peak is located deep in the Tianxuan Sect. Usually, no one else passes by except for the medical disciples and a few errand disciples.
Not to mention outsiders.
Chu Qi flew his sword to the valley and stopped, with no intention of moving forward. "Your Excellency's actions are not like those of a gentleman."
The valley is silent, and the lingering sound echoes.
It seemed that Chu Qi was the only one around.
Chu Qi frowned slightly, and the aura around him changed in response to his emotions.
"I am new to Tianxuan Sect and I don't know the way. I am sorry for the offense. Please don't mind."
At this time, a voice came from behind Chu Qi.
The man who came was Hu Jiu. He looked calm and at ease, and excused himself frankly.
“…” What a coincidence.
Chu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly. He had been planning to find an opportunity to contact Fox Wine, but unexpectedly Fox Wine came to him first.
"Really? But you seem to have followed me all the way, since we came out of Fortune Peak."
"That's because when I first met you, I felt like we were old friends, and I felt very close to you."
"He was so kind that he cast an illusion on me as soon as we met. This is really unusual."
"..." Hu Jiu's polite words could only stop here. After observing Chu Qi's expression, he simply said:
"You are an exceptional person that I have never seen before. According to your talent, you don't look like a cultivator from Yunhua Realm. Could you be a disciple from a hidden family in Yunyin Realm?"
"Talent? Mine?"
Chu Qi was extremely surprised. He knew his talent very well, but now a stranger, whom he had never met before, said that he had a special talent.
"How did you know that?"
Chu Qi lowered his eyes, "Then can you tell me, what exactly do you see from me?"
"You have a pure body, which should be the gift of the Immaculate Wood Spiritual Root. As far as I know, this kind of talent can only be possessed by those who have been blessed by the sacred tree."
After Hu Jiu finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Qi again and said, "So, do you have any connection with the Medicine King Valley in the Hidden Cloud Realm?"
"… "
Good question, what is his connection with Yaowang Valley
Chu Qi raised his hand and pressed his forehead, "Maybe there was a cause and effect in the past." But unfortunately, he doesn't remember anything now.
"Ever?" Fox Jiu was surprised.
"Well, besides, I heard that the fox tribe is good at illusions. I wonder if there are such talismans for sale?"
"There are magic talismans, but why do you need one?"
"It has its uses."
"Let me be frank. The effectiveness of the illusion displayed by the Illusion Talisman depends on the other party's trust in you. If the other party is very alert, the illusion will not work." After explaining the use of the Illusion Talisman, Hu Jiu said, "But if I take action, whether the other party trusts you or not, I will at least have a 90% chance of success."
"No need to trouble you, sir. All you need is the magic talisman."
"Okay." There was no good show to watch, and Hu Jiu was a little disappointed, but he was able to establish a good relationship with the person in front of him through the illusion talisman, which was a great gain. "Oh, by the way, the illusion can only last for an hour at most." After handing the illusion talisman to Chu Qi, Hu Jiu did not forget to remind him.
"Thank you very much."

After parting with Fox Wine, Chu Qi went to Zhongling Peak to deliver medicinal herbs to Bai Xuan. On the way, he met Elder Qingyue and was asked if he was willing to switch to medicine. After hearing Chu Qi's refusal, Elder Qingyue was very sorry.
In fact, there was a moment when Chu Qi also felt that he was suitable for studying medicine.
But if you become a medical disciple...
In comparison, Chu Qi secretly hoped that he could be at Creation Peak.
—Hear the sound of swords at noon and see human figures in the sunlight.
Looking back, they have been together for nearly ten years. When I think of the scenes that I often see every day, I feel a sense of peace in my heart.
After bidding farewell to Senior Sister Bai Xuan and Elder Qing Yue, Chu Qi flew back to Creation Peak on his sword.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, a golden figure rushed towards Chu Qi, but was stopped by another sword energy when it was about to crash into Chu Qi's arms.
"Bang!"
“Lulu!!”
With a huge bump on his head, Xiao Jin loudly condemned Yan Jiuge's behavior.
"This guy ate two days' worth of spiritual pet food in one go after you left. You can save some effort and not feed him tomorrow."
Yan Jiuge walked out of the house and stated the facts in a calm tone.
"Lulu..."
Seeing that the villain was the first to complain, Xiao Jin looked at Chu Qi aggrievedly.
"Eating too much spirit pet food is indeed not good for you." The gold-devouring beast can only improve its cultivation by eating metals, and spirit pet food is just a snack.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin found his master standing on Yan Jiuge's side, and he lowered his tail, looking listless.
"Okay, okay, how about eating some Lingyu ore?" Chu Qi tried to comfort it.
"Lulu!" Xiao Jin's eyes lit up and he immediately regained his energy.
Still as easy to coax as before.
Chu Qi couldn't help but smile.
When he came back to his senses and noticed the thoughts in his mind, his smile froze.
What happened to his missing past
He really wanted to know.
"Xiao Jin, go and have fun by yourself. I have something to talk to A Yan about."
Hearing Chu Qi's words, the man and the beast were both stunned for a moment.
Then, Xiao Jin walked out of the house obediently and closed the door with his tail.
After it had done all this, it suddenly realized that there was an extra weight on its horns. Its claws could not reach the top of its head, so Xiao Jin touched it with the tip of its tail and found that it was the annoying vine that had come out with it.
“…” I want to get rid of the annoying vines.
But the master was busy with important things, so he endured it this time.
After Xiao Jin took a step back and thought about it, he walked away with the annoying vine above his head.

Inside the house, Yan Jiuge was still in a trance over the way Chu Qi addressed him just now.
How long has it been since you last heard it
It was more than half a month, but it seemed like hundreds or thousands of years.
These days, there has always been a distance between him and Aqi.
"What does Ah Qi want to discuss with me?" Coming back to his senses, Yan Jiuge turned his attention to Chu Qi.
"I don't know why, but I always feel stagnant when practicing recently, and my consciousness tends to be scattered, as if memories that don't belong to me are reappearing in my mind..."
As Chu Qi finished speaking, Yan Jiuge's expression moved slightly, stars flashed in his eyes, and he looked hesitant, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"… "
Sure enough, it was just as Chu Qi expected.
It was just a preliminary test and Yan Jiuge responded.
Chu Qi lowered his eyes. He had never seen Yan Jiuge look so cautious.
"Maybe I accidentally developed a demon in my heart during my training, or maybe I accidentally got infected by some resentful spirit... Anyway, I would like you to help me check my sea of consciousness, okay?"
The corners of Yan Jiuge's lips moved, "...Okay." He sighed at the end of his words, and he didn't say much after all.
Looking at the person approaching him, Chu Qi moved his fingers and crushed the illusion talisman hidden in his sleeve.
No matter what the answer is, Chu Qi wants to know.
What's more, the part of his missing memory is also related to Yan Jiuge.
The sea of consciousness is where every cultivator's soul resides. No matter how lost the memory is, there will always be an imprint in the soul.
But Chu Qi had no
The Dharma remains awake in the sea of one's own consciousness.
What he wanted to do was to let Yan Jiuge enter his sea of consciousness, and then use illusion to go into Yan Jiuge's sea of consciousness and recreate the past that the two of them had experienced together. That is, the fusion of consciousness.
Such things should not be attempted casually by anyone other than a close relative.
But Chu Qi's intuition told him that Yan Jiuge was worthy of his trust.
