"That's how it is..." Qin Ran said to Bai Ruoxi beside the square table in front of the cabin, "You know that with my strength, it is impossible for me to threaten your senior brother, let alone ask him to cast a spell to stop the Devouring Demonic Willow. It was your senior brother who couldn't bear to see everything wither, so he forcibly stopped the willow catkins. It was also under his instructions that I activated the Tribulation Thunder Pill.
"If you think about it for a moment, you will know that a bad person like me would not have the compassion to save people from suffering. Only a gifted person like your senior brother would have that."
"I understand." Bai Ruoxi nodded.
She knew what Qin Ran said was true, because she knew her senior brother, knew who he was, and knew his abilities.
In particular, she couldn't think of any other way to stop the catkins of the Devouring Demon Willow except for her senior brother's "Creation Dao Sutra". Even if it was Elder Ning, he could defeat the Devouring Demon Willow of Hedao, but he couldn't stop the catkins that had already spread.
"I'm glad you can trust me." Qin Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
In his death state, he heard Shiyin say that Elder Ning was dead and that Lingnan Immortal Sect would send someone to investigate the whole matter.
Then, Bai Ruoxi who is still here is an extremely key figure. As long as Bai Ruoxi is dealt with, when Lingnan Xianzong tracks him down, I believe that with Bai Ruoxi here, Lingnan Xianzong will not do anything to him.
This was a square table. Qin Ran and Bai Ruoxi sat opposite each other on either side. Li Shiyin and Zhuifeng also sat on Qin Ran's side.
On the other two sides of the square table, sitting on one side was the loli-like Long Qiqi, and on the other side was the fox-like Tushan Youyou.
Qin Ran took a quick look and found that there was a tiger, a fox, and a snake on the table... Without noticing, Danfeng had turned into a zoo.
"What was the final outcome of that Nascent Soul melee?" he asked the beautiful five-tailed white fox.
Tu Shan You You cried out twice before realizing that he was in fox form.
She was about to change into human form and speak when Bai Ruoxi said, "The Blood Dragon Bone came out at the last moment to reap the battlefield, killing eleven people including Elder Ning and taking away most of the Dao Fruits."
Qin Ran was somewhat surprised. “Harvested by the Blood Dragon Bone?” He then felt puzzled. “How could he dare? He was once defeated by the Devouring Demon Willow… I didn’t expect that he would become the biggest winner.”
"He didn't do it for himself." Bai Ruoxi said, "He did it for the colorful butterfly."
"Who is that colorful butterfly?"
"The colorful butterfly is the soul of the immortal corpse." Bai Ruoxi explained, "The Devouring Devil Willow devoured the immortal corpse, and its soul is protected by the Evil Blood Dragon Bone... The Evil Blood Dragon Bone is using the Taoist fruit of the Devouring Devil Willow to commemorate the immortal corpse that was devoured by the Devouring Devil Willow."
"The Evil Blood Dragon Bone is related to the immortal corpse?" Qin Ran laughed. It was a triangle relationship.
"I have no idea about the details of the matter. My senior brother told me some of it before." Bai Ruoxi said.
"But who will be the final winner is still uncertain..." She seemed to be hinting at something.
"That immortal corpse is from the Lingnan Immortal Sect, and the Dao Fruit of the Blood Dragon Bone is also used to commemorate the immortal corpse. Moreover, it did not kill the disciples of the Lingnan Immortal Sect, and even shared some of the Dao Fruit it obtained with the disciples of the Immortal Sect and escorted them away.
"So, Lingnan Immortal Sect finally got most of the Dao Fruits."
"Dao fruit..." Qin Ran pondered for a moment and asked, "My injury was treated with Dao fruit, right?"
"Um."
Qin Ran glanced at the five-tailed white fox and asked, "How many Dao Fruits are there this time?"
"I don't know." Bai Ruoxi shook her head and said, "But compared to the death of my senior brother, Dao Fruit is just a small matter. It doesn't matter whether it's more or less. As for my senior brother's matter... I'll have to wait until I get back to talk about it."
"When will you be back?"
"I'll leave tonight."
"So urgent?"
Bai Ruoxi glanced at Qin Ran and said, "I may not be anxious, but the Immortal Sect will be very anxious. If the Immortal Sect gets anxious, I don't know what will happen."
Qin Ran felt a chill down his spine and smiled, "It's better to be more anxious."
He changed the subject and asked, "What forces did the eleven dead belong to? How many people from Daojian Sect died?"
"Most of them are independent cultivators. There is one from Daojianmen, three from Zhishengu, one from Wuyinjianzong, and Elder Ning. The rest are independent cultivators." Bai Ruoxi said.
"Why did three people die in Zhisheng Valley?" Qin Ran was curious.
"This is what is called a Nascent Soul cultivator created with resources and elixirs."
It was afternoon now. Qin Ran lay back on the chair, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile, "Then you can have dinner before leaving."
"Dinner?" Bai Ruoxi pondered, glanced at Li Shiyin, and said calmly, "People who practice cultivation do not covet the desire of food and drink."
Qin Ran saw her expression and immediately understood. He looked at Li Shiyin and asked, "Didn't you say that you can already make delicious food?"
"Ah?" Li Shiyin was stunned. "Master, can you hear me?"
Her face immediately turned red because she thought Qin Ran couldn't hear her, so she said a lot of private words.
"Ahem!" Qin Ran was a little embarrassed and forced a smile, "It's okay, I'll cook tonight."
In the afternoon, Qin Ran practiced boxing in front of the wooden house and played with Zhuifeng to familiarize himself with his own strength.
Li Shiyin was taken to the bottom of the lake by Bai Ruoxi, who talked about fighting and teaching her body skills.
In the evening, Qin Ran sacrificed himself
He took out his own barbecue grill and had an open-air barbecue.
Li Shiyin invited Bai Ruoxi to drink soda. Barbecue chili with soda was an unprecedented experience for Bai Ruoxi. Because there was no chili and no soda in this world, she might have eaten all kinds of delicacies, but she had never eaten chili and drank soda.
The silly Zhuifeng is no longer obsessed with his own Yuanyuan.
This guy squatted next to Qin Ran, and he ate whatever Qin Ran grilled. He ate as much as Qin Ran grilled, until the others ran out of food, then they discovered his bad behavior and drove him away.
He was so spicy that he ran all over the mountain and jumped into the river to take a bath.
Danfeng was drinking soda and eating barbecue enthusiastically when two people suddenly came, one was Huang Feiyu and the other was Tian Wenjin.
Tian Wenjin had tried Qin Ran's cooking skills before, and seeing that it happened to be Danfeng's dinner, she was very happy and hurriedly joined in.
But Huang Feiyu seemed embarrassed. He was now in the form of a fire element. To be more specific, he was a fire elemental spirit. Everything about the texture of carbon-based creatures was far away from him.
He came to Qin Ran's side and helped Qin Ran grill the meat... He was quite professional.
"I heard that the Lingnan Immortal Sect came to the Hengduan Mountains this time, on the one hand, to obtain the Devouring Demon Willow..." Huang Feiyu threw a ball of fire into the barbecue grill and said nonchalantly, "and on the other hand, to recruit disciples and send out immortal invitations. Does Uncle Master know about this?"
"You're furious!" Qin Ran reminded him, and then replied, "You know? Lingnan Immortal Sect is cutting leeks everywhere. Every time they go to a sect, they desperately send out immortal invitations."
Huang Feiyu controlled the temperature of the fire and said, "Not everyone can send out fairy invitations."
"You want the fairy letter?" Qin Ran asked.
"Um."
Qin Ran glanced at Tian Wenjin, lowered his voice, and asked, "How many do you want?"
Huang Feiyu didn't say anything.
“Whether in terms of qualifications or strength, Wen Jin does not meet the standards for becoming a disciple of the Lingnan Immortal Sect,” Qin Ran said.
Huang Feiyu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "One will do..."
That night, the sky was full of stars. Qin Ran sat on the roof, took out his jade flute, and played the song "High Mountains and Flowing Water" from his memory. Li Shiyin sat beside him, hugged her knees, and shook her little head to listen.
Bai Ruoxi straightened her body by the river, flew up on her sword, looked back in the night sky, clasped her fists towards Qin Ran and said, "Brother Qin, see you later!"
Then it disappeared under the starry sky.
After the song was over, Li Shiyin asked Qin Ran, "Master, what is this song? Why have I never heard of it before?"
This was the first piece of music that Qin Ran played properly after months of studying music.
"It's called 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'..." Qin Ran said with a smile, "Master will tell you the story of Zhong Ziqi and Boya."
