Chapter 220: Su Changyu Is Lost Again!

　　In the cave.

　　Chen Lingrou looked at the demonic beast, feeling rather dumbfounded.

　　‘Did I get teleported to the lair of demonic beasts?’

　　‘That’s outrageous?’

　　Chen Lingrou felt that she was really unlucky.

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard.

　　Such a demonic beast was hard to come by, and yet she managed to encounter it even though she hadn’t even reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

　　‘I’m really… unlucky.’

　　Chen Lingrou shuddered a little.

　　However, the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard that entered the lair did not seem ferocious at all. Instead, it had a peculiar gaze.

　　It looked quite bizarre.

　　“Human?”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard stared at Chen Lingrou and asked.

　　“Can you communicate with humans?”

　　Chen Lingrou was rather shocked and looked at the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard with a bewildered gaze.

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard was speechless.

　　“Ah, that’s not what I meant. Don’t get the wrong idea… I’m just curious about why a beast like you can speak.”

　　Chen Lingrou was a little nervous and obviously didn’t state what she meant.

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard was speechless.

　　“No, no, no, I really didn’t mean that. I’m just poor at communicating my thoughts.”

　　Chen Lingrou was so flustered that she was on the verge of tears.

　　That wasn’t what she meant at all, but whenever she spoke, the meaning of her words would change.

　　That made her feel extremely upset.

　　“Okay, I understand what you mean.”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard had a male voice.

　　It slowly walked towards Chen Lingrou and said immediately afterwards, “I won’t hurt you, I’m just a little curious as to why you’re here.”

　　As the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard slowly approached, Chen Lingrou saw its full appearance.

　　It was a demonic beast with the body of a leopard and the head of a Qilin but it was wearing a fish scale-like armor on its body with Qilin horns on its head, and if not for the fact that it had a body of a leopard, it would really be a Qilin.

　　“Haaa~”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard yawned and laid at the side lazily.

　　“I don’t know. I just accidentally stepped onto a Teleportation Array and ended up here.”

　　“Where is this place, Senior?”

　　Seeing that the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard was not hostile towards her, Chen Lingrou immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Everything would be fine as long as it didn’t kill her.

　　“This is the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard answered Chen Lingrou’s question.

　　“Cloud Mist Mountain Range?”

　　“Is this the Northern State?”

　　Chen Lingrou came to a sudden realization. She had heard of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range where Su Changyu often got lost, so Chen Lingrou would study maps in her free time.

　　She had a good understanding of the geography of the entire Jin Nation.

　　However, Chen Lingrou’s face was soon sullen.

　　The Cloud Mist Mountain Range was a famous demonic beast mountain range in Jin Nation. Hence, if she ended up there, she would encounter lots of demonic beasts all the time.

　　“Senior, can you send me away from this place?” Chen Lingrou asked.

　　However, as soon as she said that, the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard’s gaze turned cold and it looked at Chen Lingrou.

　　“Do you think I’m affable and can be persuaded easily?”

　　As soon as the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard spoke, the temperature in the cave seemed to have plunged greatly.

　　“Ah… this!”

　　“Senior, I don’t mean that. I just think that if you help someone, you should go all the way. You’re the descendant of the Qilin, an auspicious beast. You should be kindhearted, right?”

　　Chen Lingrou began to fabricate things.

　　However, her words were quite effective on the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard.

　　“You’re quite good at talking but I won’t help you. To be frank, you’re really lucky to have ended up in my lair after stepping onto the Teleportation Array.”

　　“If you had been teleported into the lair of other demonic beast kings, you might have already been silenced by now.”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard seemed to be very cold and lofty. It was the demonic beast king of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

　　Being the descendant of the Qilin, it was naturally worthy of being called a demonic beast.

　　“Lucky?”

　　Chen Lingrou did not feel lucky and sat on the ground with a depressed look.

　　She was really at a loss for what to do.

　　The Cloud Mist Mountain Range was densely populated with demonic beasts, and rumor had it that there were Beast Kings, such as the one in front of her now.

　　It should at least be in the Golden Core realm.

　　She was a cultivator who was at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement realm. She would be courting death by going to that place.

　　It was very quiet in the cave.

　　Some time later, the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard finally spoke up.

　　“You…”

　　Chen Lingrou looked at the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard with her eyes full of excitement.

　　“How long do you plan to stay here?”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard asked coldly and indifferently.

　　Chen Lingrou was speechless.

　　This time, she was at a loss for an answer.

　　However, the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard took a deep breath.

　　“I can send you back but you have to help me with something in exchange. How does that sound?”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard was lying on the ground and stretching.

　　“Senior, tell me what it is. I’ll help you even if you want me to do you ten favors.”

　　Chen Lingrou immediately perked up when she heard that there was a chance.

　　“Alright, do me ten favors then.”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard nodded and agreed.

　　Chen Lingrou was speechless.

　　“Senior, I’ll do you one favor.”

　　Hearing that there was an opportunity, Chen Lingrou instantly perked up.

　　“Okay, in about two weeks, a bunch of Heaven and Earth Spirit Herb will ripen. I’m worried that someone might snatch it from me, so how about you help me collect it?”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard said.

　　However, Chen Lingrou was not a fool. Although the task sounded simple, why did he send her?

　　There was clearly something fishy about it.

　　“Senior, is it going to be dangerous?”

　　Chen Lingrou asked straightforwardly.

　　“It’s naturally not going to be dangerous. Why would I send you, a Qi Refinement cultivator, if it’s dangerous?”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard glanced at Chen Lingrou in disdain.

　　The latter chuckled without saying anything.

　　Although Chen Lingrou was simple-minded, her Senior Brothers and even the Sect Leader had given her instructions before she left the mountain so she naturally wouldn’t be that silly.

　　“Okay, let me tell you the truth. Once that Heaven and Earth Spirit Herb matures, the demonic beasts of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range will rush to snatch it, but don’t worry, with me around, I’d definitely make sure that they don’t make it back alive.”

　　“The only thing I’m worried about is a monkey that’s extremely agile so I’m scared that he might snatch it away. You just have to help me get that Heaven and Earth Spirit Herb.”

　　“How about I impart to you the Great Qilin Mystical Ability?”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard offered all sorts of benefits in exchange for Chen Lingrou’s help in obtaining the herb.

　　He promised to teach her the Great Qilin Mystical Ability.

　　“Great Qilin Mystical Ability? Senior, there are lots of such Dharmic Dao in our sect. Why don’t you give me some Spirit Stones after I help you collect the spirit herb?”

　　Chen Lingrou understood that attractive promises were empty promises most of the time. The promise maker might even kill the person whom they made the promise to because they could not afford to take out the reward.

　　Hence, she thought that she might as well ask for some Spirit Stones so that they wouldn’t fall out with each other later on.

　　As for why she chose to decline…

　　Well, Chen Lingrou was just too timid.

　　If Ye Ping was around, she definitely wouldn’t be scared, but unfortunately, she was now alone and terrified.

　　“Spirit Stones?”

　　“You’re so incompetent.”

　　“No wonder you’re still a Qi Refinement cultivator.”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard looked at Chen Lingrou with its eyes full of disdain.

　　However, it eventually nodded and agreed.

　　After all, it didn’t lack Spirit Stones. Besides, it needed Chen Lingrou’s help, so it treated that as an insurance.

　　“Okay, stay here and rest for half a month. After half a month, have a fight with me on a dark and windy night.”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard nodded.

　　“Okay, King Turquoise, let me ask you, is the monkey you mentioned powerful?”

　　Chen Lingrou asked cautiously.

　　However, the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard was a little perturbed.

　　‘King Turquoise?’

　　‘That sounds odd.’

　　“No. But the monkey is very agile and white in color.”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard shook its head.

　　“Really?”

　　Chen Lingrou was apprehensive. ‘If the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard is wary of it, how can it not be strong?’

　　“I can swear that that monkey is definitely not strong.”

　　“You’re so scared of everything, trust you to have the cheek to call yourself a cultivator.”

　　The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard was a little annoyed.

　　Hearing the impatience and annoyance in the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard’s tone, Chen Lingrou immediately stopped talking and smiled subserviently.

　　She couldn’t help it. Since she was in his lair, she had no choice but to give in.

　　In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

　　In the Qingyun Dao Sect.

　　Boom!

　　With the sound of a huge explosion, everyone in the Qingyun Dao Sect couldn’t help but frown.

　　In particular, Daoist Tai Hua.

　　He stood on the cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect and frowned, seemingly rather depressed.

　　Ever since Xu Luochen came back seven days ago, he had been refining pills all day long.

　　He had to create such a huge fuss when doing so.

　　However, there was nothing much to say about the ruckus he was causing.

　　However, he would often end up refining pills that were extremely ordinary.

　　Daoist Tai Hua had no choice but to be furious.

　　If he could refine good pills, he would have nothing to say.

　　If that went on, the Qingyun Dao Sect would either crumble or go up in flames.

　　On the rear cliff of the Qingyun Dao Sect, Xu Luochen was glum.

　　Since he refined the Phoenix Nirvana Elixir seven days ago, he hadn’t refined any Spirit Pills yet.

　　All the pills he refined were inferior-grade, which was very much to his dismay.

　　When he wasn’t serious, the pills he refined would be of extremely high quality.

　　Yet, when he was being serious, he couldn’t refine good pills.

　　He was perplexed.

　　On the rear cliff.

　　In addition to Xu Luochen, Ye Ping was also comprehending something.

　　He was now at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm and was about to step into the Golden Core realm.

　　Ye Ping was thinking about whether or not he should step into the Golden Core realm.

　　After all, he hadn’t improved much.

　　However, just as Ye Ping was pondering whether to break through to the Golden Core realm, a figure appeared in front of him.

　　It was Lin Bei.

　　“Ye Ping, Ye Ping, hurry up.”

　　Lin Bei seemed extremely agitated, as if there was something important to do.

　　“Senior Brother Lin, what’s the matter?”

　　Ye Ping was a little curious about why Lin Bei was looking for him.

　　“The Jin Nation Bazaar Convention is going to open in Chenzhou. I’ll take you there to earn some good money. Come with me.”

　　Lin Bei was clearly extremely excited. He told Ye Ping that the Jin Nation Bazaar Convention was about to be held in Chenzhou.

　　“Jin Nation Bazaar Convention?”

　　Ye Ping was a little curious, but before he could say anything, Lin Bei stopped him.

　　“It’s too late to explain, just come.”

　　After saying this, Lin Bei took Ye Ping away.

　　Soon, Ye Ping and Lin Bei left. Besides, what made Ye Ping shocked was that Xue Zhuan had tagged along.

　　They had prepared several bags and those who didn’t know might think that they had picked up money.

　　The trio left the Qingyun Dao Sect.

　　On the front cliff.

　　Daoist Tai Hua glanced at the three of them without saying much. His disciples going down the mountain was normal.

　　Looking at the three of them, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but think of Su Changyu.

　　“It’s been seven days, I think Changyu should have arrived at the Great Xia Dynasty, right?”

　　“I don’t know if that Old Xuan will acknowledge Changyu.”

　　“Ah, I hope Changyu won’t be dejected if he doesn’t.”

　　“But if he does, what should they do?”

　　Daoist Tai Hua muttered, and as he spoke, he couldn’t help but look at the rear cliff of Qingyun.

　　That was where Xu Luochen was.

　　The person Daoist Tai Hua was most worried about in the entire Qingyun Dao Sect was not Su Changyu, nor was it Chen Lingrou.

　　Instead, it was Xu Luochen.

　　Yes, it was Xu Luochen.

　　More than twenty years ago, Daoist Tai Hua picked up Su Changyu during the flood.

　　However, two years later, Daoist Tai Hua picked up Xu Luochen on a cliff.

　　To be honest, until now, Daoist Tai Hua was curious about how Xu Luochen ended up hanging off the cliff.

　　Besides, Xu Luochen was extremely unlucky.

　　Every time he went down the mountain alone, he was either cheated out of money or deceived by others. The worst encounter he had was being fooled into mining for half a year.

　　Later on, things got better when he went down the mountain with Su Changyu. He at least didn’t get deceived by anyone.

　　If Su Changyu really reunited with his father, what would happen to Xu Luochen?

　　At the thought of this, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but feel a headache.

　　“Forget it, it’s better to wait until Changyu returns.”

　　On the front cliff, Daoist Tai Hua had nothing to say.

　　At the same time, in the Great Qian dynasty.

　　In a certain mountain range, when Su Changyu saw a stone tablet in front of him, he couldn’t help but seem dumbfounded.

　　“Official passage of the Great Qian is 100 kilometers ahead.”

　　‘Great Qian official passage?’

　　‘Is there such a place in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty?’

　　‘The official passage of the Great Xia Dynasty is called the Great Qian Dynasty?’

　　‘How authoritative.’

　　Su Changyu frowned.

　　Seven days ago, he teleported from the capital of Jin Nation to the capital of Great Xia Dynasty.

　　However, as soon as he came out, he found himself in a deserted city.

　　He thought there was a problem with the teleportation and reckoned that it must have deviated.

　　However, as he walked, he felt that something was off.

　　The words ‘Great Qian Dynasty’ were written everywhere he went.

　　To be honest, Su Changyu also doubted if he had come to the wrong place at first.

　　However, after thinking about it, he thought it was unlikely.

　　After all, the Teleportation Array of the capital of Jin Nation couldn’t possibly have gone wrong.

　　However, after several days of walking, he still did not see a single living person.

　　Forget it if he hadn’t seen anyone.

　　More importantly, he seemed to have gotten lost.

　　It was… really off.

　　While Su Changyu was frowning and pondering…

　　All of a sudden, several figures spoke up.

　　“Go after the princess! Don’t let the princess get away.”

　　“Catch the princess!”

　　“Whoever can capture the princess alive will be rewarded with a golden elixir.”

　　“Charge!”

　　The deafening roars filled the air.

　　In the next moment, a beautiful figure appeared in front of Su Changyu.
