Back to three days ago, Long Qiqi tricked Li Shiyin and was about to escape, but when he turned around, he bumped into a man.
She looked up and saw that it was Qin Ran. She was shocked and asked, "Why are you here?"
Qin Ran didn't answer, but asked, "Where are you going?"
"I..." Long Qiqi quickly regained her composure. She scratched her head and said with a smile, "Just wandering around."
"I mean, where do you want to go after you escape from here?" Qin Ran didn't want to beat around the bush with her and said directly.
"Hmm?" Long Qiqi thought about it seriously and replied, "You can go to the vast world to see what human society is like, or find a small sect to become a disciple, or occupy a mountain and become the king of the mountain. All of these are possible."
"Although you have become a human, you are not a human after all." Qin Ran shook his head, "The mortal world is actually dangerous, and there are gods and masters hiding there. You are a goblin, how long do you think you can live in the human world?"
Long Qiqi didn't take it seriously: "The world is vast and boundless. I just do my duty as a human being and do my work honestly. I just want to survive and seek the truth. Why am I so unlucky?!"
"Honest and dutiful?" Qin Ran smiled. Why did they catch Long Qiqi? Wasn't it because she was preying on virgin boys and girls? If it wasn't for Li Shiyin, but Qin Ran, Long Qiqi would have been dead long ago, and there would be no trace of her.
He said, "What do you have to do with honesty? Do you mean cannibalism?"
Long Qiqi tried to explain: "That was because I had just transformed and escaped from the Hengduan Mountains. I got carried away and didn't pay attention. I'll be more careful next time."
“I won’t do that again… Even if we take a step back and say that you really don’t eat humans anymore, won’t you still be recognized?” Qin Ran stared at Long Qiqi. “The demonic aura emanating from you makes you look like a firefly in the dark night in the eyes of the cultivators!”
"I will quickly get rid of the evil spirit..."
“During the time it takes you to learn how to suppress your evil spirit, it’s enough time for you to die ten thousand times,” Qin Ran said.
Long Qiqi was silent for a while, then she reacted. She looked up at Qin Ran and asked, "What do you mean by saying so much?"
“Now that you have become a human, you will have to live with humans anyway, so why not join us?” Qin Ran suggested.
"With you?" Long Qiqi frowned.
"I am a member of the sect and an alchemist. I have a high status and abundant resources. Given your situation, it is impossible for you to find such a good place." Qin Ran said.
Long Qiqi was very tempted, but based on her understanding of Qin Ran, he was a thousand-year-old fox. It was impossible for him to be so kind as to do a business that would lose money. So she asked again, "Then, what is the price?"
"As you know, I am an alchemist who knows everything.
I am interested in anything that can be used to make medicine, and I am very interested in the Yinsha snake venom, the Yinsha Taipan snake demon's venom." Qin Ran gave his own reasons, "The Yinsha Qi and your own snake venom blend very well, I want to study it."
"If you want my snake venom, just catch me and lock me up. Why do you need to say so much?" Long Qiqi still didn't believe it.
"I am a person who prays for peace..." Qin Ran smiled kindly, "I don't want killing and hatred on Danfeng. Danfeng has few people, and I also hope that it will be more lively and bustling. Finally, I would like to ask you for a small favor..."
Qin Ran prayed for peace? Long Qiqi didn't believe it at all. That could only be the latter reason. She hugged her small body tightly and said nervously, "You don't want me to give birth to a child for you!!"
"I'm not a grassroots hero!" Qin Ran slapped her on the head, wondering where she had learned such things at such a young age.
“So…” After listening to Long Qiqi’s story, Li Shiyin asked Qin Ran, “Is this also part of your plan?”
After they took the elixir and recovered a little from their injuries, they took Long Qiqi, who had transformed into a human again, and headed towards the sword-making town.
"Even if we didn't meet Zhao Yaqing and the others that day, I would be prepared to meet high-level cultivators... At least if we did, we would be able to escape safely. Then I would make all kinds of arrangements." Qin Ran explained.
"I took the initiative to terminate the teleportation formation, and the location where we fell was also planned in advance with Long Qiqi. If someone tries to destroy the teleportation formation, this is one of the countermeasures."
"One of the responses?!" Li Shiyin and Long Qiqi asked together.
Qin Ran smiled but said nothing.
A group of three people, old, weak, sick and disabled, slowly walked towards the sword-making town. Qin Ran and Li Shiyin were both injured and disabled, and Long Qiqi looked like a little girl, but was an old monster at heart, and was old and weak.
Monks flew by in the sky from time to time, still searching for the sword. Some people also stopped to ask about the old, weak, sick and disabled trio, but because it was a group of three and not two, and because they posed no threat, no one took it seriously.
"Everyone wants to find that sword..." Qin Ran sighed, "The vision when the sword was born can be seen clearly from here. The cultivators are all human, and because of their great power, they are even more greedy. If we don't make more arrangements, we will die quickly."
Li Shiyin looked at the people flying over her head. Their cursing could be heard from the ground. She was silent. She thought, this is the world of immortal cultivation, and the master is right.
It took the old, weak and sick trio an hour to walk the nearly two-mile distance, and they returned to Yuelai Inn in the afternoon.
Qin Ran looked pale as he limped into the inn. He came to the counter and said weakly to the old shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, check out."
The shopkeeper behind the counter looked up and saw the master and apprentice in this state, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"
"Just now, Li Benshan produced a peerless sword that survived the thunder tribulation and is rare in the world. I took them over to watch the fun and see the world. Who knew that those who tried to steal the sword were not happy with anyone, and we were beaten up by them without any reason."
Qin Ran shook his head and sighed, "People's hearts have changed. I asked Master Xu to forge a sword but he didn't help me. Instead, I got beaten up... Sigh..."
The shopkeeper leaned forward to take a look at Long Qiqi. Of course, he could tell that Long Qiqi was a monster, but he didn't care. He turned around and took out the account book, sneering: "Watching the fun? Haha..."
He had an expression of seeing through the world, and believed that these three people were just trying to take advantage of a bargain, but they failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice.
“Hahaha…” Qin Ran smiled humbly.
Li Shiyin watched from the side and rolled her eyes in her heart. Her master was really dramatic.
After completing the check-out procedure, another servant brought the fairy horse, and the master and disciple went to the room to tidy up a little - in fact, there was not much to pack, as they had already prepared themselves not to come back, and this was done for the shopkeeper and other people in the inn to see - then went out, rode the fairy horse, walked out of the sword-making town, and headed straight for Bei Chu.
As soon as they left the sword-making town, Qin Ran discovered that there were scouts nearby. As they got closer to Northern Chu, there were more and more scouts. When they were close to the border, a cavalry caught up with them.
The master and disciple turned around to see that it was the Xuanqin cavalry that came. It was the same cavalry that had confronted Li Shiwen before, and even the general leading the team had not changed.
"Hurry up!" Qin Ran and Li Shiyin said.
It wasn't that he was afraid of the mortal army, but he didn't want to kill so many people.
"Stop, those in front!" the cavalrymen behind shouted at them.
Master Qin Ran and his apprentice sped up, and soon, arrows flew towards them.
The fairy horse was not an ordinary horse, and Kieran’s riding skills did not hold the horse back, so they were not caught up by the cavalry and reached the border easily.
But when they stood on the border and looked forward, they found that there was also a team of cavalry deployed on the side of Northern Chu. They were a black mass and very intimidating, as if they were waiting for the Xuan Qin cavalry to come.
Of course, the leader of this cavalry was Li Shiwen.
When he saw Qin Ran and Li Shiyin crossing the border, he rode over to Li Shiyin and looked her up and down. When he saw the blood on her body, his face turned cold. He stared at Qin Ran, then walked to the border and faced the cavalry rolling in from the opposite side alone.
The Xuan Qin cavalry did not dare to charge forward. They stopped and the leading general came out. He looked at Li Shiwen and shouted to Qin Ran without saying a word, “Antidote!”
