Chapter 565

The Jin Gang Sect Ancestor was immediately vigilant, staring fixedly at the old man outside.

On the street, the old man shouted loudly.

"Benefactor!"

This form of address was filled with rich emotion.

And his expression was even more filled with excitement. His whole body trembled, tears overflowed in his eyes, and that expression clearly showed that his entire emotional state was in extreme intensity.

"I have been looking for you for such a long, long time!"

"I have always kept your life-saving grace in my heart. I only hate that I was immersed in cultivation that day. After I woke up, you had already left." Even the consultation fee and elixir costs were not collected from me at all!

The old man's voice was trembling. Suppressing the trepidation and fear in his heart, he bit the bullet, shivering, and took a few steps forward.

Arriving more than ten zhang away from Xu Qing's medicine shop, "This matter made me feel guilty, so I have been looking for you."

"Heaven has eyes, and I have felt it. Finally, I saw you today." The old man wiped the corners of his eyes, outside this medicine shop.

He bowed solemnly towards the expressionless Xu Qing inside!

When he raised his head, the old man looked at Xu Qing. His expression carried pleading.

"This time, please give me a chance to repay you. You must accept the big gift I have prepared for you, Benefactor."

The old man endured the heartache and took out his three storage bags quickly, holding them up with both hands. Chen Fanzhuo watched all this.

Confusion rose in his heart. He could feel the sincerity and excitement of this old man who had just been aggressive.

Especially when he noticed that the other party only had three storage bags, and now, in order to repay the kindness, he actually sent them all out. This scene made him moved while also feeling incomparably strange, so he instinctively followed the old man's gaze to look at the medicine shop master behind him.

Inside the medicine shop, Xu Qing was playing with a transparent elixir bottle in his hand, looking coldly at the shivering old man. The words of the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor transmitted rapidly echoed in his heart, "Master, this person is fraudulent, incomparably cunning; at a glance, he is not a good bird."

"Usually, characters like this in storybooks are all people with rebellious bones, unlike me."

He didn't pay attention to the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor.

Xu Qing walked out of the medicine shop. Xu Qing saw the old man's little cleverness clearly. These little tricks might be effective on others, but to him, they were of no use.

Since this person had run away before, and he met him today, Xu Qing didn't intend to let him go, and the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor also felt the killing intent in Xu Qing's heart. He was building up momentum on the beam, waiting only for Xu Qing's order to make a move.

As Xu Qing walked over, huge pressure enveloped the old man's heart. He sweated excessively, saw the coldness in Xu Qing's eyes, and his heart churned.

Seeing that his method was ineffective, he scanned Chen Fanzhuo beside him in his anxiety, then gritted his teeth hard.

Suddenly, he spoke loudly, "Benefactor, your grace to me, Li Youfei, is greater than heaven. Today, please must accept my thank-you gift, Li Youfei!"

Chen Fanzhuo heard the name Li Youfei and felt it was somewhat familiar, his mind recalling.

Seeing this, the old man's heart became even more anxious, secretly thinking, is this guy not a local? Why hasn't he remembered yet!

So he spoke loudly again. "I, Li Youfei, have spent two jiazi of time in this Bitter Life Mountain Range, a lifetime of suffering, surviving in the struggle, knowing best the importance of gratitude. Benefactor, the day you left, I, Li Youfei..." The old man said up to here.

Chen Fanzhuo's mind suddenly rippled. He remembered this name, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock.

"You are the Bitter Life Immortal, Senior Li Youfei!" Chen Fanzhuo was moved. "Thirteen years ago, the notorious Linxue Sect, which refined elixirs with all the newborn infants of the Bitter Life Mountain Range, was wiped out overnight by someone, saving countless mortal children."

"It has been circulating in the Bitter Life Mountain Range that the one who made the move was the Bitter Life Immortal, Li Youfei!"

"And more than forty years ago, the Blood Worship Sect, which raped, looted, and wantonly bullied many Earth Cities, was slaughtered by someone in three days. Legend has it that it was also the Bitter Life Immortal, Li Youfei, who made the move!"

"And in these sixty years, whenever there were natural disasters or man-made calamities, the suffering mortals in every Tucheng would be given food by someone. It is said that this was also done by Li Youfei!"

"The most recent time was a few months ago, when rogue cultivators on the periphery who secretly attached themselves to the Red Moon Divine Hall and wanted to obtain the status of divine slaves died frequently."

"There are rumors..."

Chen Fanzhuo's breathing was rapid. Looking at this old man before him, shock rose in his heart. He had heard many legends in the Bitter Life Mountain Range these years.

Among them were those about this Li Youfei.

Legend has it that this person is both righteous and evil, possessing both chivalry and banditry, but overall, the chivalry is greater than the banditry.

"Senior, regarding the cave dwelling matter, it is all of the junior's items. The junior will return them in full. I hope Senior will forgive me."

Chen Fanzhuo took a deep breath and bowed deeply towards the old man.

He looked excited, but anyone who could survive in the Bitter Life Mountain Range and still have a small faction was not ordinary.

He naturally saw that there were some clues between this old man and the Master.

But regardless of whether the other party was true or false, he felt that this was a successful opportunity to resolve his own crisis.

And the old man heard this, and his heart finally let out a sigh of relief. He was indeed Li Youfei, but usually, it was his avatar acting outside, so his appearance was ever-changing. He himself was hidden.

Now there was no other way. In the face of a life-and-death crisis, he wanted to let the old monster know that he... actually still had value to live.

He understood that the other party wanted to join the Reverse Moon Hall.

Generally speaking, those who could choose to join the Reverse Moon Hall were all people with unwillingness in their hearts. He wanted to tell Xu Qing that he was too.

Although he hadn't passed the Reverse Moon Hall assessment yet and was still missing a sacrificial divine slave, he had been using his own methods to do the same thing all these years.

The facts were indeed so.

Thinking of this, the old man looked at Xu Qing, his eyes revealing pleading.

Xu Qing's footsteps paused, his gaze landing on this old man, not speaking. And his silence made the old man's heart tremble, incomparably suppressed.

Until a long while later, Xu Qing's right hand raised and grabbed. Immediately, the three storage bags in front of the old man flew over. After holding them, Xu Qing turned and walked towards the medicine shop. Following Xu Qing's departure, the pressure enveloping the old man's body dissipated instantly.

That feeling of surviving a disaster made the old man take a deep breath. He looked at Xu Qing's back, bowed solemnly with his head lowered, and turned to leave quickly.

But he didn't notice that in the shadow behind him, an eye opened and closed slightly at this moment, hiding quickly. Xu Qing didn't kill this Li Youfei for the time being.

He prepared to leave a shadow eye to observe. If the other party was really as Chen Fanzhuo said.

Then letting him go was not impossible.

But if it was false, or if there was malice, then no matter how many small things this person had done, there was no possibility of saving his life. The Shadow would control his body, let him devour himself, until he was eaten clean.

The sky at this moment, after Li Youfei left, although dim, had no mist.

Watching all this, Chen Fanzhuo's awe of Xu Qing reached the extreme.

He was very glad for his previous respect, and his attitude was even more so at this moment.

Bowing towards the medicine shop where Xu Qing was, he then retreated and left.

Inside the medicine shop, Linger blinked, looking at the storage bag in Xu Qing's hand.

Regarding the money-loving personality Linger showed after the medicine shop opened, Xu Qing had already felt it.

So after smiling, his spiritual sense merged into the storage bag. After checking it and finding no danger, he gave it to Linger.

Linger cheered, took it, and checked it hurriedly, like opening a wish box. She took out items one by one with anticipation, her little face overflowing with happiness.

Xu Qing watched for a while, smiled, and returned to the back room, sat cross-legged, took out the mirror, and merged into it.

Continuing to bombard, just like that, three days passed. In the early morning of this fourth day, at the end of the Reverse Moon Hall's reception light.

Xu Qing stood there, excitement and anticipation rising in his heart. After more than a month, he was finally about to complete this third assessment!

"Too difficult."

Xu Qing sighed in his heart, raised his right hand into a fist, and bombarded forward with all his might. Amidst the cracking sounds, the moment the last zhang of the path was opened by her, intense light and electricity enveloped Xu Qing's whole body inside.

He took a step forward as if walking across a layer of cold water, and when he appeared, he was already in an ancient temple.

This temple was not big, ten zhang square. There was no incense in the light, except for an altar, there was nothing else.

And the position where Xu Qing was, was this altar. It was just that it wasn't his original appearance, but he had turned into a statue.

This statue wore a long robe, its appearance was an old man, its expression was dignified without anger, and it had a long beard reaching its chest, a look of immortal style and bones.

Behind it was also a huge gourd.

It looked like there was a faint sense of holiness flowing. After Xu Qing checked the appearance of his statue, his perception spread out.

But soon he discovered that his spiritual sense couldn't penetrate the surrounding walls and could only spread within this temple. After determining that there was no other aura here, Xu Qing raised his hand. His stone statue hand had a very deep color, as if it had been painted before, but with the passage of time, it was mottled, and there were some cracks on it, some deep and some shallow.

Xu Qing put down his hand and scanned the surroundings.

"Is this the Reverse Moon Hall?" Xu Qing pondered. He didn't know why he had turned into a statue, but he could feel that this statue contained life force, but it didn't belong to him, more like armor bestowed upon him after entering here.

"In other words, there was originally a statue here? After I came in, I appeared inside the statue?" After thinking for a while, Xu Qing tried to move.

Following the trembling of the altar, amidst the falling dust, Xu Qing controlled this statue body of his, walked down from the altar slowly, step by step to the ground. He felt the inflexibility of the body.

He moved around again, until after exploring this little temple again, he became more familiar with this layer of statue armor, and at the same time, he discovered that cultivation base had no meaning here and couldn't be dispersed; the statue isolated everything.

To move here, one could only rely on controlling the statue body to move forward.

However, the storage bag could be opened.

So he raised his head to look at the door of the temple. This door should have originally been vermilion, but now, under the erosion of time, a layer of cracked skin had formed, and the color had also faded a lot.

"Outside the door, it should be the Reverse Moon Hall, right."

Xu Qing's eyes revealed anticipation, and he controlled the statue body to walk forward.

After a few steps, he arrived beside the door. He stood there, took a deep breath, raised his hand, and pushed hard forward.

But the moment his hand touched the temple door, a sudden change occurred!

At the same time, on the edge of the Qingsha Desert outside the Bitter Life Mountain Range, in the cyan wind and sand, there was a colorful light galloping between heaven and earth.

This light had extraordinary speed, occasionally flashing, teleporting to further places, alternating forward, getting faster and faster.

The dangers in the desert seemed to be nothing to it; as long as the speed was fast enough, it could ignore everything.

However, occasionally this light would pause in mid-air, as if looking for direction, and at this time, if one looked at it, one could clearly see that the parrot among Wu Jianwu's descendants was in the light.

Every time the parrot paused, its nose would twitch a few times, and its head would shake left and right to explore. At this moment, in the sky far away from the Bitter Life Mountain Range, its eyes lit up.

"Grandpa me is still the best, finally found it!"

"In this situation, if my dad were here, he would definitely be inspired to recite a poem. As the smartest among my dad's many descendants, I will recite a poem for my dad at this moment."

"A parrot is born, dad is a fart, quickly call daddy, grandpa is here."

The parrot spoke proudly, only regretting in its heart that there was no one around to applaud its talented poetry.
