When Luo Yanran reached the city wall, she saw a figure that made her tremble.
Because the person outside the city wall was none other than Qin Qi.
"Qin Qi!" Luo Yanran exclaimed with surprise and joy.
"It truly is Qin Qi!" Bai Qingrou also responded.
In no time, even Yuan Tianqing and the others jumped down from the city wall, arriving beside Qin Qi.
Seeing this scene, Baiqing Residence clenched his fists, his face full of jealousy and malice.
Why was it that Qin Qi, just by returning unharmed, received so much admiration?
When they saw that Qin Qi was indeed unharmed, the faces of Yuan Tianqing and the others were filled with astonishment and disbelief.
"Qin Qi, is what Yanran said true? Did you two really encounter Yue Xueling, the Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect, who hunted you down?" Bai Qingrou’s gentle lips parted, and for a moment, she couldn’t help but question the authenticity of Luo Yanran’s words.
Luo Yanran was equally puzzled. After all, no matter how she thought about it, there was no reason for Yue Xueling to let Qin Qi go.
Yet Qin Qi was right there before them.
Qin Qi had already prepared his story, saying, "Speaking of which, it’s quite mysterious. I initially thought I was going to die. But during my escape, a powerful being of the Nascent Soul Stage suddenly appeared!"
"After this powerful Nascent Soul Stage cultivator appeared, they saw it was someone from the Ghost King Sect, and decided to assist me. That’s how I managed to escape and survive!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tianqing and Bai Qingrou exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.
After all, how could such a coincidence happen, to encounter a Nascent Soul Stage expert?
Besides, even if a Nascent Soul Stage expert did appear, they wouldn’t risk offending Yue Xueling, a fellow Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, for Qin Qi, a minor Foundation Establishment cultivator, just because of the division between righteous and evil cultivators.
It is known that cultivators who reach the Nascent Soul Stage are all self-serving and wouldn’t do anything thankless.
However, if not explained this way, there would be no way to clarify Qin Qi’s situation!
"A Nascent Soul Stage expert..."
Bai Qingrou parted her red lips, "What did this person look like?"
Qin Qi gave a hasty description, "Kind of plump, looked like they were past sixty years old!"
"Oh? Could it be Master He Tong?" Yuan Tianqing stroked his chin and said.
Qin Qi was momentarily stunned.
Damn...
Could it really be?
Bai Qingrou was somewhat surprised, "Besides Master He Tong, no one else seems to fit that image. But Master He Tong usually remains in seclusion, and acts with wisdom and tact, yet he would chase away Yue Xueling for you!"
"Although Yue Xueling has just entered the Nascent Soul Stage, her sinister Yin Luo True Art, with its unpredictable methods, doesn’t seem to fear Master He Tong much!"
Noticing Bai Qingrou’s suspicion, Qin Qi continued, "Well, that’s something I wouldn’t know, my lady."
Yuan Tianqing sighed with emotion, "No matter what, surviving is what matters. It could be said that surviving such a disaster must mean good fortune awaits."
"To have a Nascent Soul Stage expert save you, Qin Qi, you truly are blessed with good fortune!"
Baiqing Residence’s face was undeniably grim.
He gritted his teeth, secretly cursing in his heart.
How could this Qin boy survive all this?
Why?
Are all those Nascent Soul Stage experts fools? Why bother saving Qin Qi?
Qin Qi knew that if he continued, his excuse might easily be exposed.
So he said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave and rest."
"Yes, indeed. After this ordeal, you should go and rest first!" Yuan Tianqing said.
Bai Qingrou watched Qin Qi preparing to leave, but there was a hesitation, as if she wanted to say something but didn’t know how to start.
Qin Qi naturally noticed this and turned back to ask, "Holy Maiden, is there something else you need?"
Bai Qingrou’s body trembled, her voice a bit shaky, "No, nothing at all!"
For some reason.
Seeing Qin Qi’s face always reminded her of the times spent together with him before.
The joy and pleasure from those times seemed to flood into her mind, making it irresistible.
Even her legs involuntarily tightened.
The emptiness and loneliness she’d suppressed rushed out like a tide, uncontrollable.
Qin Qi saw through Bai Qingrou’s awkwardness.
"It seems that a woman who has unlocked the valve of desire will eventually be gradually consumed by it..."
Qin Qi squinted his eyes.
Even Bai Qingrou, a strong Core Formation cultivator, was no exception.
If he really intended to be alone in a room with her at that moment, there might truly be a chance!
However, he wasn’t in a hurry.
He wanted Bai Qingrou to become impatient first.
Only then would there be a chance to conquer this powerful female cultivator at the Core Formation stage.
With this in mind, Qin Qi acted as if he saw nothing and said slowly, "If there’s nothing else, my lady, I’ll take my leave!"
After speaking, he returned to his residence.
The past few days of running around, along with being hunted by Yue Xueling, had indeed left him exhausted.
He returned to his room and first meditated and rested for two days.
Then he took out the Thousand Thunder Vine.
"Now that there’s nothing else, it’s a good time to try refining this Thousand Thunder Vine!"
With this in mind, Qin Qi wasted no time and infused all his mana into it, carefully drawing out the refined Power of thunder and lightning contained within the Thousand Thunder Vine.
As the power of the lightning gradually absorbed into his body, Qin Qi clearly felt some differences.
"Wow..."
He squinted his eyes, "My mana indeed experienced some changes, so this is the effect of the Thousand Thunder Vine!"
...
This way, another seven days passed in refining.
After seven days, Qin Qi slowly opened his eyes.
The Thousand Thunder Vine, originally crackling with rolling Power of thunder and lightning, had diminished somewhat in its thunderous power.
Qin Qi muttered to himself, "Seven whole days of refining, and I’ve only absorbed one-tenth of its thunder power. Just how much thunder power does this Thousand Thunder Vine contain?"
With this in mind, he slightly moved his palm.
Suddenly, a series of lightning bolts crackled and intertwined in his hand.
Seeing the lightning effect, Qin Qi displayed a bitter smile, "Wow, although I can indeed summon pure Yang True Thunder now, the amount is just a bit too little!"
Being able to summon only such a small amount, it would have no real effect in a fight.
With this in mind, Qin Qi sighed.
It seems, to fully manifest the effect of pure Yang True Thunder, I need to completely absorb the thunder power within the Thousand Thunder Vine.
