Chapter 399: Run Quickly, I'll Pretend I Never Saw You

"What are you doing?"

Li Qingfeng retreated to the senior sister's side, nudged her with his elbow: "What madness is this now? Can you act normal?"

"I..."

Master Lingxi swallowed hard, concealing the panic in her eyes, and stood dazedly in place.

The others also noticed the anomaly of this senior.

Master Zhu Jue frowned slightly.

Rather than saying True Person Master Lingxi seemed to know junior brother Shen, like two acquaintances meeting, it was more that she was afraid of junior brother Shen.

It was that complex emotion of wanting to flee yet unwilling to flee.

Too strange!

"How is your cultivation?"

Shen Yi seemed to ignore the others, standing directly in place and asking.

"Not bad."

Jiang Qiulan pressed her red lips, staring at the youth's face, a barely perceptible longing welling in her eyes: "Master said, wait a bit longer, and we can consider incorporating the second spiritual root. Mount Wutong is wealthy; they prepared a high-grade spiritual root for me."

"Don't use those things of theirs."

Shen Yi shook his head, took out three Soul Transformation Pills and handed them over: "Use these. If it's not enough, come find me again."

According to the pill formula left by the Nanyang Sect.

External spiritual roots are inferior; using Soul Transformation Pills counts as average; only condensing a spiritual root by oneself counts as superior.

For now, the threshold of the latter cannot be reached, but there is no need to use external objects anymore; settling for average is quite good.

"Thank you."

Jiang Qiulan took the pills, yet still stared into Shen Yi's eyes.

Compared to the pills, the other party's action was actually telling her another thing.

That from now on, the two were no longer small cultivators hiding from the search of the Profound Light Cave, nor did they need to conceal their identities anymore; they could openly tell everyone that she and Shen Yi were colleagues from Outside Qingzhou.

Given Shen Yi's cautious personality.

Being able to give these three pills in front of so many people was enough to prove the other party already had the confidence and strength to control the situation.

"I miss you quite a bit."

Jiang Qiulan took a deep breath and suddenly dropped her guard.

Her abrupt words could only be understood by Shen Yi.

That woman has just that personality.

Li Qingfeng, smelling the intense medicinal fragrance, unfeelingly widened his eyes and leaned in: "What is this! Let me see!"

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

He clicked his tongue in amazement, said "wow" for a long time but couldn't say anything sensible: "I don't recognize it."

Although he didn't recognize it, the moment the pills appeared.

Almost everyone looked toward Jiang Qiulan's palm, several degrees of intoxication unconsciously appearing on their faces.

An immortal pill capable of changing the entire Li Province appeared so easily before their eyes.

"You don't seem to be the only one with a gift."

Xu Wanyun sniffed the pill fragrance, glanced at the little girl.

"..."

Xu Qing'er pinched her waist, gritting her white teeth: "You are truly annoying."

Seizing the opportunity when Shen Yi's expression clearly softened.

Li Qingfeng decisively took out his storage bag and began to speak of the main matter: "How about this? Master asked me to bring it to you. As long as you..."

Shen Yi took the storage bag and glanced inside, seeing it filled to the brim with demon cores.

More than several times what he had lost previously.

The coldness in his eyes then lessened by a few degrees.

He casually tucked it into his sleeve, then shifted his gaze away, as if nothing had happened.

"Hey! I haven't finished yet! Don't be too much!"

Li Qingfeng jumped in frustration, playing black eats black on Mount Wutong, and in front of so many people too! Pfft! How shameless!

"Do you really think Mount Wutong has no one? Big Jiang Shijie, look at him!"

He indeed couldn't beat Shen Yi, but behind him was Master Lingxi.

Before the words finished, he saw Shen Yi nod toward the distance: "Come over."

Having said that, he turned around again and went back into that wooden house.

"..."

Everyone looked at Master Lingxi together, only to see the woman pause for a moment, then silently follow the youth into the house, even closing the door behind her.

Bang.

Li Qingfeng forcefully pulled at two strands of his temple hair, eyes wide open.

Damn it, who can tell him what situation this scene in front of him is.

His big senior sister, whom he had always worried would get angry and do something wrong, since seeing Shen Yi, had become like a foolish mute.

Not to mention making sarcastic remarks, she didn't even dare to take a deep breath.

Is this still his arrogant big senior sister?

"I feel my heartbeat is a bit fast."

Wu Dao'an leaned on Master Zhu Jue; as an old man, he truly couldn't withstand such a shock.

Every movement Shen Yi made just now seemed like dancing on a steel blade.

Until this moment, the people of Mount Wutong had not yet turned hostile, making even their group of Great Qian supporters feel somewhat ashamed.

"Shen Yi has his own plans... probably."

Master Zhu Jue appeared calm, but was actually just as panicked.

Even if Great Qian grows faster, where is it a match for Mount Wutong?

Leaving aside all the disciples for now.

Shenxu Laozu alone is enough to surpass the Sanfangtong Alliance tied together.

"..."

Jiang Qiulan carefully put away the pills; she didn't even ask about their specific effects.

How could something Shen Yi give possibly harm her?

She raised her eyes to look at that house, a hint of curiosity flashing in them.

Based on her understanding of Master Lingxi, even when facing Nie Jun, the other party had never shown such a docile demeanor.

Could it be that the other party had also witnessed the majesty of that High Mountain?

That shouldn't be the case.

In Jiang Qiulan's memory, Master Lingxi should have only gone out once.

Moreover, if you're discussing matters, just discuss them; why close the door?

While everyone was speculating with their own thoughts.

Master Lingxi, however, leaned against the wooden door, staring fixedly at that calm face before her.

Her whole body felt somewhat weak.

She could mistake anyone, but she could absolutely not forget this face.

Beneath the Xuanming Spider Emperor, he had turned into a Golden-Eyed Lion right before her eyes.

Master Lingxi True Person's breathing grew more and more urgent, finally turning into a barely audible voice: "You go, do not hurt the others, I will pretend I never saw you... I won't tell Master or Nie Jun, you go quickly, I beg you."

"..."

Shen Yi looked on in silence; he finally knew where Nie Jun's Five Swords came from.

This Bai Chi.

She had indeed thought the entire matter backwards.

Until this moment, she still believed she was transformed from a Golden-Eyed Lion.

After a long silence, Shen Yi kicked a chair over and said softly, "Sit."

"I won't sit..."

While saying this, Master Lingxi leaned against the chair with a trembling heart.

She truly had no confidence at all to win against this lion.

The ferocious look on the other party's face when slaying the Xuanming Spider Emperor was still vivid before her eyes; setting aside cultivation and methods, just that aura of killing was absolutely beyond her comparison.

The overwhelming demonic power, and the mighty demonic body, were both real enough.

Why could this group from Great Qian still be so respectful to it? Could it be that it had never fought in front of others, never showing the slightest flaw?

"How did you break through to the peak of Soul Transformation?"

Shen Yi sat down as well.

Master Lingxi remained dazed for a long time before realizing the other party was not mocking her, but asking a serious question.

"I... I just stayed on the mountain... ate pills and cultivated the technique... did nothing... slowly merged with the breath of heaven and earth."

"Then why do you still not have a Dao Palace?"

Shen Yi looked over, feeling quite speechless; so the Dao Heart, this thing, wasn't necessarily so lofty.

Someone like this who eats then sleeps, sleeps then eats, with a heart that holds no matters, actually has no concept of clear thoughts at all, because there was never any blockage to begin with.

"Master thinks I have no need to cultivate the Dao Palace... there is only one Palace-Suppressing Object, and that is reserved for Nie Jun."

The secrets Master Lingxi had never revealed to her junior brothers, under the gaze of those pitch-black eyes at this moment, came out of her mouth unbidden.

"What is a Palace-Suppressing Object?"

Shen Yi was not polite either, taking this opportunity to ask everything clearly at once.

After all, it was hard for him to find a second high-realm cultivator this dull.

"I cannot... Master said, the Dao Palace is like a painting, the Suppressor is like a seal."

Master Lingxi True Person felt her breathing become even more difficult, yet she couldn't help but continue explaining: "No matter how beautiful the scroll, in the end a seal must be stamped to completely stabilize it and achieve the Return to Void realm."

"That Suppressor is merely the crudest tool, yet it is one of only two things Master fought desperately to save back from the sect back then."

"What is the other one?"

Shen Yi stood up, walked to the front of the other party, placed both hands on the armrests, and leaned down to look.

Looking at that face so close at hand.

Master Lingxi True Person's whole body tensed, enveloped by that overwhelming pressure, nearly fainting.

She spat out the last two words.

"Dao Tablet."
