In a hidden underground dark room, Ling Xi stabbed the air with a shot, sweating profusely. A layer of frost made of spiritual energy formed on the wall was all the result of Ling Xi's desperate efforts to exert spiritual power.

He half-kneeled on the ground weakly, his arms trembled slightly due to the loss of strength. The red patterns that penetrated the left arm Tian Ni's martial art spread deeper, engraved into the depths of Ling Xi's skin, and wanted to absorb his life span.

Ling Xi was in seclusion here alone, so of course she didn't have to wear that thick layer of spiritual outfit. The sweat dripped down from Ling Xi's hair and fell on the ground and frozen into tiny ice beads. I don't know how long he had been practicing here, but a layer of sweat had already formed white salt crystals on his back.

"Ling Xi, enough." Xiao Ling's soul appeared beside him to dissuade him. After so long of nourishment, Xiao Ling's soul became clearer and clearer, almost the same as a normal person.

She reached out to pull Ling Xi up, but her fingers touched Ling Xi and disappeared into a light spot. She bit her lower lip and withdrew her hand.

Although Ling Xi was a little younger than before, his white hair and an aging voice reminded him at all times that his lifespan was not much left.

"You said, Bai Yu has lived longer than me because he refused to do it easily?" Ling Xi turned his head and asked Xiao Ling, "It took me three years, but now I have only practiced for a while. Why is the effect of Tian Ni's martial art so poor?"

Xiaoling lowered her head and said nothing, not answering.

Ling Xi smiled and said, "It's up to you, I know you took some souls to nourish your own. I don't blame you."

"I..." Xiaoling wanted to speak but stopped, but chose to shut up.

Ling Xi held the wall and stood up, and said slowly: "When I go back, I will accompany Yingxi well. As for Wangting, I don't care what it is like. With Du Yu here, I will do my best."

"I won't let you die easily." Xiaoling said toughly.

Ling Xi closed his eyes and refused to listen to Xiaoling's words, and did not take them seriously.

The only copper bell in the secret room that was connected with the outside world suddenly rang, and the light and crisp sounds echoed in the secret room one after another. Ling Xi reached out and pulled off the copper bell and said to Xiaoling: "We are going out, come back."

Once the copper bell rings, there is something important that he must come out.

The heavy stone door was raised by one hand. Ling Xi raised the stone door over his head and turned over to put it down. The stone door was still trembling when hitting the ground, demonstrating its terrifying weight.

"What are you asking me to come out?" Ling Xi asked, seeing that it was Jiulang, "Has the injury healed?"

"Senior, the patriarch let you go." Jiulang immediately answered and said in amazement: "You are really born with divine power. I don't think that ordinary spiritual cultivation realms can easily lift this stone gate with one hand."

Ling Xi did not respond and turned to Helian Ruoyu's residence. Jiulang followed up happily and asked behind Ling Xi: "Senior Lin Yi. Since you are so powerful, can you teach me the technique of transforming weapons out of thin air? It is the technique of brushing a sword in his hand and turning it into a spear. Teach us, it's so convenient, we don't have to bring a bunch of tools when we go out to hunt."

"Since you want to learn so much, why don't you join Guyun Sect?"

Jiulang smiled awkwardly and said, "I also have to have this talent to make Guyun Sect fall in love with me. Besides, I have to protect the clan leader. How can I stay in Guyun Sect for the rest of my life?"

"It's not that I won't teach you." Ling Xi turned his head and glanced at him with the black eye sockets under the mask: "The threshold of this technique requires spiritual fruit to break through. That kind of thing is hard to come by, I have only encountered it once."

Ling Xi did not lie to him. He had only met him once in the royal garden after so many years of traveling abroad. Spiritual fruits are different from spiritual herbs, and their effects are much more complicated. He is no longer the novice of the past. Fortunately, he did not know how to refine elixirs back then, otherwise he would have been foolishly refining the spirit fruits, which would probably have pissed other Yuanling practitioners to death.

I don’t know what the one I gave to Ling Yingxi was like, but I’m afraid her second uncle had already waste the resources and refined them into pills. When Ling Xi thought so, he didn’t feel that he was wasting his resources directly.

Ling Xi pushed the door open and didn't even say hello. A soul belonging to Helian Ruoyu swept over and saw that it was him, so he took it back on his own.

The inner door was pushed open, and Helian Ruoyu, who had just finished bathing, walked out barefoot, and her undry black hair was casually spread on her shoulders. She pinched the corners of her skirt, poured a cup of tea for Ling Xi, and knelt back to the carpet.

Ling Xi glanced around and found nothing like a chair. She simply walked down and crossed her legs to face Helian Ruoyu.

He picked up the teacup, shook the tea inside and asked, "What's the use of pouring tea for me?" Ling Xi covered her mask tightly, how could she get tea?

Helian Ruoyu got up and took the teacup from Ling Xi's hand, put it in front of him, and chuckled, "Why don't you take off your mask and drink it yourself?"

The fragrance of flowers and plants penetrated into the mask, which was the smell of Helian Ruoyu.

"What are you asking for me?" Ling Xi was even more reluctant to get too entangled and said bluntly

"Thank you for everything you did for us." Helian Ruoyu leaned over to thank him, and pulled out a vermilion book under the table and said, "Our Helian family does have some records about the longevity herbs. You can check it out as you like, this is a gift I gave you."

Ling Xi didn't plan to read the book and asked, "Is this your secret?"

Helian Ruoyu shook his head: "This is just a part of the secret. I can't say the rest of the part. You don't have to be involved in that way. You can help me so much, you have already done your best."

"Say." Ling Xi put his hand on the table, his tone unquestionable, as if he was giving orders to her.

Helian Ruoyu still shook his head and put the book tiredly back under the table: "If Senior Lin Yi has nothing else to do, he will walk slowly and not send him off."

A flying claw cable penetrated straight down from the roof, pierced through the tabletop, grabbed Zhuhong's books and pulled them upwards.

Ling Xi raised his hand and pulled the book, otherwise it would be stolen. A powerful force came, pulling Ling Xi into the air. A hook appeared in his hand, hooking the crossbar, and his whole body was fixed in the air, stalemate with the force outside the house.

The steel cable was tense, and the flying claws pulled several cracks on the surface of the book, and pulled them hard. "Quick! Cut off the steel cable!" Until Ling Xi loudly reminded him that Helian Ruoyu had reacted just now, drawing out the long sword from the sword frame on the side, swinging the sword energy to cut off the steel cable.

The steel cable suddenly collapsed, and the books were torn to pieces with great force, and the yellowed paper leaves were flying everywhere.

Ling Xi fell to the ground and gasped, watching Helian Ruoyu bring the pages together with her soul. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the big hole on the roof that was blown open by flying claws, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

Ling Xi stood up, his breath was solemn, and he stared at the entrance of the cave without saying a word. The person who secretly robbed the book was unknown, but he didn't even notice Xiao Ling. This made Ling Xi feel even more crisis, and there were invisible eyes staring at him everywhere.

"He definitely didn't use his soul to penetrate it." Xiaoling said affirmatively: "It is impossible for anyone to peek with his soul when I can't notice it. Unless the group of people in the heaven who have practiced special skills like me."

"Strange? Why didn't I use my soul to detect that person?" Helian Ruoyu asked in confusion, and used his soul to piece the Zhuhong books together.

"He felt it based on his hearing. That man was a master of practicing Dharma body." Ling Xi guessed fearfully.

Jiulang rushed in with a group of soldiers holding weapons and shouted in panic: "What's wrong?"

Ling Xi stepped forward and held Jiulang's wrist and squeezed it tightly to see if he could be someone who was doing something outside. Jiulang made a creaking sound, and he sucked in pain. He fell softly beside Ling Xi and shouted: "Senior, let go! Do you want to pinch me to death?"

Ling Xi let go of his hand and said calmly: "It's nothing, try how your injury is gone."

"You go. Senior Lin Yi and I are discussing the practice method, but we can't stop for a while." Helian Ruoyu also spoke from the side.

Jiulang was skeptical, and when Ling Xi looked at him, his neck shrank and he retreated.

After Helian Ruoyu waited for them to leave, he said to Ling Xi unhappily: "Who do you doubt me?"

"They have been with you for only three years, and they are not worthy of your trust. If Eliñís had the chance, he would still kill his brother to seize power without hesitation. I have experienced much more power struggles than you have. Most people live just for snobbery, and none of these snobbery hearts can stand the test." Ling Xi carefully checked the flying claws in his hand, raised his head and said.

Helian Ruoyu hated others who suspected the people around her the most, and smiled anxiously: "Senior, you have only known me recently. I have helped me so many times for no reason. I really thank you very much."

"What do you mean?" Ling Xi put down his flying claws and asked her.

"If you don't want to interfere, you can leave by yourself. I will never keep you." Helian Ruoyu turned around and closed the door of the inner room.

Ling Xi watched her enter the house coldly and snatch the door out. Jiulang was still waiting outside. Seeing Ling Xi coming out angrily, he quickly stopped him and said, "Hey, senior, what's wrong with you?"

"Prepare my horse, I'm leaving."

Jiulang was at a loss and looked into the room and asked, "What's wrong? How many more days are you not staying?"

Ling Xi was furious, Helian Ruoyu was still so willful. He was kind to be regarded as a donkey and was driven out like this. How could he feel better?

"Don't, please relieve the fire. Let's talk to the patriarch after a few days." Jiulang grabbed Ling Xi and dissuaded him.

"No need, let him leave if he wants to leave." Helian Ruoyu also appeared in front of the door and ordered to look at Ling Xi, with waves flashing in his green eyes.

"Did you hear it? Prepare the horse." Ling Xi didn't look at Helian Ruoyu and walked away.

Jiulang stood there at a loss, and did not reluctantly lead the horse until Helian Ruoyu saw it.

Helian Ruoyu sighed helplessly after Ling Xi left, and returned to the house and murmured: "Senior, don't blame me, I just hope you don't get involved."

Xiao Ling's soul was withdrawn, and she stayed silently in Ling Xi's mind, refusing to speak to remind Helian Ruoyu of his kindness.

Ling Xi was still angry and was still in a fit of anger. He rode his horse and ran all his might in the desert. The moment Helian Ruoyu kissed his cheek flashed across Ling Xi's mind. His figure suddenly hesitated for a moment, turned around and stopped the horse, looked at the city government and asked Xiaoling, "Has I done something wrong?"

"I don't know. I can only advise you to calm down and think about it." Xiao Ling responded coldly and stopped talking.
