Li Qingan opened the door, let her in, and then had her sit on a stool. He placed the turtle in her hand, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep again.
About half an hour later.
Li Qingan felt a small figure appear beside him, and heard a roar in his ear.
And the sound was getting closer and closer!
"You beast! You beast!"
In a daze, Li Qingan felt that the voice sounded like Zhou Yixian's.
Then he heard a sound again.
The sound was so loud, it seemed to be right next to his ear, and it immediately woke Li Qing'an up.
When Li Qing'an opened his eyes, he found Zhou Yixian standing at the door, looking angry, while Xiao Huan beside him stared at him with wide, adorable eyes.
He felt that his mind had never worked so fast before, analyzing why Xiao Huan was lying next to him.
In an instant, Li Qingan shouted at Zhou Yixian, who was rushing towards him, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
And he got up very quickly and said what he remembered.
"Go on, I'm listening."
Zhou Yixian held a kitchen knife in one hand and breakfast for Xiao Huan in the other, staring at Li Qingan with a fierce look as if she wanted to tear him to pieces.
Li Qingan felt speechless; how could he be so beastly?
"Grandpa, what are you doing? Why are you so late? I was getting sleepy waiting for you!"
At this moment, Xiao Huan finally spoke.
Li Qingan felt as if his injustice had been vindicated.
"What are you doing sleeping here? Get down! Your grandpa taught you that men and women shouldn't touch each other." Zhou Yixian felt a pang of heartache.
"But Grandpa, your older brother is great, and besides, you're a boy too!"
Xiao Huan shook her head and asked, puzzled.
"I'm your grandfather, how can I be like this kid...?"
"Wait, sir..."
"Shut up!"
"..."
A moment later, Zhou Yixian sat on the stool and took a sip of water.
"I see you now, kid. You're all glowing because you're surrounded by love interests and have a lot of romantic entanglements."
Li Qingan rubbed his forehead, feeling that he really couldn't explain it.
Does he really seem like such a beast?
"No need for further words, the deal is done, and Xiao Huan and I will continue our travels." Zhou Yixian, still angry, added that he felt it was time to leave soon, otherwise Xiao Huan wouldn't want to go after a few more days.
"Ah! Grandpa, I still want to eat candied hawthorn!"
Xiao Huan was reluctant to leave. She hadn't had enough candied hawthorns yet, and if she left, it would be a long time before she could enjoy them so freely again.
"Come on, your grandpa's got money now, I'll feed you every day from now on!"
"Really! Grandpa, you're so kind." Although she didn't know where Zhou Yixian got the money from, Xiao Huan was still overjoyed.
Seeing this, Li Qingan smiled and looked at Xiao Huan, saying, "It's better to have a lively and cheerful child like this. Xiao Xueqi used to be so difficult to raise."
Thinking of this, Li Qingan shook his head!
By this time, the group had packed their things and left Shanhaiyuan.
"Senior, we shall meet again someday, so let us part ways here."
Li Qingan bowed to Zhou Yixian. Although there had been a misunderstanding that morning, he was still quite grateful to Zhou Yixian.
"Goodbye, big brother!"
Xiao Huan stood beside Zhou Yixian, holding a candied hawthorn in her hand, and waved to Li Qingan.
"Okay, goodbye Xiao Huan too. Don't eat too many candied hawthorns, or you'll lose all your teeth!"
Li Qingan patted Xiao Huan's head, then took out a five-colored array plate from his pocket and gave it to her.
"Xiao Huan, this is the Small Five Elements Array Plate that I researched. I've simplified it, and now it only retains its defensive capabilities. It contains my stored Yuan Qi. If you encounter danger, this array will activate automatically to protect you! Consider it a farewell gift from your big brother."
"Big brother, this is so precious, I can't accept it!" Xiao Huan waved her hand and refused.
At this moment, Zhou Yixian also saw the array plate. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he snatched it from Li Qingan's hand: "Not bad, not bad. You have this skill. I will forgive you for what happened this morning."
'Hey, it really is an array composed of ancient array symbols. This kid doesn't seem to have that much talent! He actually managed to comprehend something that hasn't appeared in a thousand years.' Zhou Yixian thought to himself as he held it in his hand, examining it carefully.
Then he added, "Young man, seeing your sincerity, I'll tell you another piece of news! You turtle can go to the far east of China, eight thousand li into the sea, do you have any clues there?"
Li Qingan looked at Zhou Yixian, stroked his beard, and nodded with an inscrutable expression.
Just in time, he was going to Xiaochi Town, which was also in the far east, to see if the fox demon Xiao Liu was already in the Black Stone Cave.
He had been curious about the Eight Fiends Profound Fire Formation, which was comparable to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, for a long time.
While the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is currently unavailable, obtaining the core of the Eight Fiends Profound Fire Formation, the Profound Fire Mirror, is still possible.
"Goodbye, big brother. I'll go back and study physiognomy well so I can read your face in the future."
Xiao Huan, being led by Zhou Yixian, turned back and called out to Li Qingan as they walked.
Li Qingan smiled, then left Heyang City and flew to the far east.
[Xiao Huan, full of heroic spirit]
Is it normal to see the moon reflected in the Full Moon Well in Chapter 35?
A few days later, Xiaochi Town
"This little pond town is really far away!"
Li Qing'an stood on Wangxian Mountain, looking exhausted, holding a map of China in his hand.
"arrive"
Li Qingan looked at the small town in the distance and flew down on his sword.
He planned to find an inn to rest first, and then see if he could find out some information.
During the past few days of flying on his sword, his cultivation level has broken through to the eighth level of the Jade Purity Realm on its own.
Before he refined the Immortal Seeking Technique, he was already at the peak of the seventh level of the Jade Purity Realm. After several days of intense application of the Taiji Profound Purity Dao, he broke through the barrier of the eighth level of the Jade Purity Realm with ease.
"Waiter, have there been any strange occurrences in Xiaochi Town lately?"
Li Qingan arrived at the town's inn, handed over the last few taels of silver he had to the waiter, and ordered a few more dishes.
"Hey, sir, you're looking for information? You've come to the right place. There's nothing in this town that I, Hu Lao Er, don't know."
Old Hu weighed the silver in his hand, then said in a fawning tone.
"Speaking of Xiaochi Town, something strange has been happening lately," Hu Lao Er said, glancing around before continuing, "A while ago, some children and adults kept going missing in the town. And these missing people were all originally planning to leave Xiaochi Town to settle elsewhere. But now they've inexplicably returned, only to find themselves pale, as if they'd lost too much blood. Everyone's saying it's a fox demon at work, trying to prevent them from leaving and demanding that they keep providing the fox demon with her life essence to help her cultivate."
"Moreover, these missing people didn't know where they went after they returned; they only remembered coming out of a dark, gloomy stone cave. And there's a large stone cave nearby called the Black Stone Cave!"
'It seems the two fox demons have arrived.'
After listening to him finish speaking, Li Qingan felt something was wrong. He had never heard of fox demons sucking human blood; it seemed more like a method used by a demonic sect.
Thinking of this, he asked curiously, "How can you be sure it was the work of a fox demon, and not the work of a demonic cult?"
"Hey, sir, don't talk nonsense. We don't have any evil cult here."
At this point, Hu Lao Er looked around and whispered, afraid that the words "Demon Sect" would scare away his guests.
Li Qing'an didn't care about Hu Lao Er's tone. After all, if any news about the Demonic Sect came out of his mouth, Xiaochi Town would probably not be so peaceful anymore, and everyone would be in danger!
This inn no longer needs to do any business.
"Sir, why don't you think about it? If it were truly the Demonic Sect, would these people have returned unharmed?" With that, Hu Lao Er went down to prepare the dishes.
"Strange, I remember that in the original story, these two fox demons didn't do anything like stealing people's life essence. Instead, they helped people who went to the Black Stone Cave to search for treasure," Li Qing'an thought to himself.
"It seems we need to be fully prepared before we go inside the cave!"
He originally planned to finish the battle quickly, after all, with his current cultivation level of the eighth level of the Jade Purity Realm, his array formations, and his ability to look up to immortals, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the number one person below the Upper Purity Realm.
With full force, one should be able to put up a fight even at the first level of the Shangqing Realm, and might even be able to kill someone. However, it's not easy to find someone with the cultivation level of the Shangqing Realm.
"Sir, your food is here."
......
night,
Li Qingan looked at the array plate on the table, continuously inscribing the five elements runes in his hands, and then combining the inscribed five elements array plates.
"We gave the original Five Elements Array Plate to Xiao Huan. Now we need to make a few more so that we can guarantee our safety when we go to Black Stone Cave."
While calculating, Li Qing'an placed the inscribed Five Elements Array Plates on various parts of his body.
These formations have only one effect: maximum defensive power when stacked to the limit.
Although on the surface it seems that the Black Stone Cave is the work of a fox demon, according to the original work, it is not that simple. There may be some experts of the Shangqing Realm here.
"It's best to prioritize safety!"
Late at night, Li Qing'an disguised himself, placed the shrunken Xiao Luo against his chest, and took the Wangxian and the Liuhe Mirror, which Dao Xuan had rewarded him with when he delivered the spirit-gathering array to the sect.
He planned to go to the woods outside the Black Stone Cave to check out the situation. It was said that there was a three-thousand-year-old well there, which Li Qing'an was quite curious about.
Li Qing'an, who had multiple array plates on his body, looked rather bulky, but it did not hinder his movements.
Li Qingan stepped out of the inn, his sword transforming into a streak of rainbow light as he flew towards the Black Stone Cave.
'Hmm, this mist is quite similar to the mist generated in the Minor Five Elements Formation.'
Li Qingan had arrived at the woods outside the Black Stone Cave, looking at the swirling mist before him with curiosity.
Undeterred by the fog, Li Qing'an walked straight into the woods.
