Chapter 1050: Bai Hang

"Oh?" Qinglong Daoren asked directly: "What did you harvest? Can you tell me so I can upgrade this formation?"

"I've set up this grand formation for a while; it's time to upgrade it. Perfect—you can give me some feedback so I can upgrade it properly."

After saying that, Qinglong Daoren looked eagerly at Bai Hang Holy Maiden before him; Bai Hang Holy Maiden's face was full of bewilderment. She never expected this man in front of her to act so unreasonably—he was truly… disgusting.

Never mind her—Xinran Zhanglao beside them burst out laughing, unable to hold it in.

"Pfft."

You know she's truly patient; for all these years she's never been provoked. This moment she really couldn't hold back, especially seeing Bai Hang Holy Maiden's expression, which made one… laugh and cry at once.

That laugh was indeed loud; on the quiet Longshe Shan, only her laughter could be heard.

Xinran Zhanglao noticed both of them focusing their gaze on her, and she immediately said, "Cough cough cough, I didn't mean to—I really couldn't help it."

"Bai Hang Holy Maiden, don't take it personally—I'm not laughing at you; I really… couldn't help it."

Xinran Zhanglao hurried to explain, but the more she explained, the more… chaotic it became.

Bai Hang Holy Maiden glanced at Qinglong Daoren, then at Xinran Zhanglao; her face was truly awkward, not knowing how to handle the situation. As the Holy Maiden of Tian Du Men, she had seen many situations and all kinds of people, but someone like Qinglong Daoren—this was her first encounter.

To ask knowingly, then keep pressing about your lungs—it's truly embarrassing.

Considering her status as Holy Maiden, noble and with limitless future, whoever sees her must address her as Holy Maiden.

Many men who see her dare not say they're cowed by her beauty, but at least they're attracted to her.

"Cough cough cough, I actually didn't harvest anything." Bai Hang Holy Maiden gritted her teeth and said.

She knew this person in front of her was the source of her embarrassment; she could no longer pretend or keep enduring.

Really, this person is truly vexing.

"Like that, I thought you had gained something, which is why I asked you, sigh."

Qinglong Daoren sighed and said, "Looks like upgrading this formation isn't very possible."

"How about this—you go test it again; maybe you'll gain something."

Bai Hang Holy Maiden: "……"

She stared in surprise at the man before her; Bai Hang Holy Maiden had come out, but she wouldn't go back in—that formation was truly bizarre, with no way to crack it, she had no clue at all, not even now.

"No, my formation skills are insufficient; I can't break your formation, and going in again would be the same. How about this—next time I bring a formation master to crack it and help you upgrade your formation, okay?"

That sentence hides another meaning.

That is, to test Qinglong Daoren and them on their opinion of me—whether they'd let me leave.

The fact that these two didn't attack her shows that, in his heart, she still has value—and is not worthless.

That's enough.

If she has value, she doesn't need to die.

Qinglong Daoren smiled and said, "Letting you leave isn't impossible, but you know this place is very dangerous—if you leak anything, wouldn't we be doomed?"

"I'm also in a tough spot—I don't like danger; what do you think I should do?"

Bai Hang Holy Maiden felt a chill inside; she knew what this man before her was thinking.

"Hahaha, Daoist friend, if you have any demands, just bring them up—I'll fulfill them as long as I can."

Bai Hang has stayed here for a year; if she leaves, there probably won't be too much danger.

Mu Long Hua and them probably aren't waiting outside for her, though there's a chance; she had already notified the faction's people to come meet her.

I'd guess the faction's elders are also waiting outside; if she gets out safely, she can then target the Mu Long Family.

The Mu Long Family's plot will also be broken because of this.

The premise is that she can leave this place; these formations, plus the two people before her, she truly dares not act—even against Xinran Zhanglao alone she's no match; if she makes a move, she'll be cut down instantly.

As a swordswoman, she could feel the sword intent emanating from Xinran Zhanglao—sharp and oppressive.

"Like that, it's you who's making the request—not me insisting; I don't like forcing others, nor harming them—everything's voluntary, right?"

Bai Hang Holy Maiden's mouth twitched, she clenched her fists, and through gritted teeth said, "Yes, I'm voluntary."

Xinran Zhanglao beside them turned her back, facing away, no longer needing to hold in her laughter.

She feared she couldn't hold it in and would make a sound again.

Really, Qinglong Daoren is too shameless—he could say such things, claiming it's voluntary?

Doesn't like forcing others?

Good grief, he has the nerve to say that—at this moment she saw another side of Qinglong Daoren, and likewise another side of Chen Chuyang.

Even his avatar is affected by his true self—Qinglong Daoren's behavior is just an manifestation of Chen Chuyang's personality.

"Look, I've protected you for a year, keeping you from being discovered and eaten by demon beasts—this lifesaving grace, you know how to repay it?"

Qinglong Daoren added, "A lifesaving grace cannot be repaid."

Bai Hang Holy Maiden gritted her teeth and said, "I can give you some treasures—I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Offering herself is out of the question—she won't throw herself at him.

No matter how you say it, she's still the Holy Maiden of Tian Du Men—she couldn't be so cheap.

"Oh?" Qinglong Daoren narrowed his eyes, his heart stirred.

"I want to see what treasures you can give me."

He reached out, demanding treasures.

Bai Hang's mouth twitched again—this man before her was truly rude, directly demanding.

She couldn't not give.

"Here you go."

She took out several bottles of pills, tossed them to Chen Chuyang, and Bai Hang said, "These bottles are all fifth-grade pills, produced by my Tian Du Men; they're hard to buy outside—even with spirit stones you can't get these."

"If these bottles of pills are used for cultivation, they can let you raise your realm by at least two levels."

Chen Chuyang collected them without a change in expression—just fifth-grade pills; he has plenty more.

It's not rare.

He reaches out again, his gaze indicating Bai Hang.

Bai Hang takes a deep breath; this person has a huge appetite—this isn't enough. Those pills are all her prized elixirs, she gave them all to him, and he still wants more.

A person under the eaves must lower their head.

"This is the fruit of a seventh‑rank Earth Dragon, the treasure I obtained this time, a spiritual fruit that can enhance potential, the supreme spiritual fruit. This time I was being hunted because of this fruit."

"You…"

Before Bai Hang could finish speaking, the fruit landed in Chen Chuyang's hand—a fist‑sized fruit, about the size of a peach, a pink spiritual fruit.

It bears faint patterns on its surface, very delicate.

The Po Luo Elixir Canon records that this spiritual fruit can strengthen the physique, enhance the root bones, and is one of the few fruits that can boost a person's potential, belonging to the class of heavenly treasures and earthly rarities.
