At this time, Li Qinglin walked up to the top of the mountain alone where the mist was most concentrated. All kinds of rocks stood up on the mountain. They were blurred in the fog. It really looked like an immortal land.
He stretched out his hand and stroked it. The edges and corners of the rock were rough, so it could be seen that it was not often touched by people and was nothing special. It was just that there were faint traces of dried blood on the rocks everywhere as if someone was seriously injured here, and his blood spilled all over.
He pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand intentionally, wiped it on the bloodstain, and and waited for a moment. Nothing happened.
It could be seen that the bloodstain was really irrelevant. There was no secret in it.
On the contrary, there were some textures engraved on the ground, which were very complicated and irregular. Nobody knew the purpose, but they seemed to be randomly scratched by children.
Li Qinglin thought for a while, then he took off a jade pendant from his waist and put it aside.
The mists that seemed to be avoiding him, no longer avoided him, but they avoided the jade pendant. Li Qinglin shook his head. There was a faint brilliance around him. The true qi he released isolated these mists.
These were ‘resentments’ indeed, but they were not avoiding his fierceness on the battlefield. It was avoiding his treasure. But in the same way, their martial artist’s true qi could also restrain these resentments without any problem.
Li Qinglin put away the jade pendant, and he was about to look at the strange tiger among the rocks. At this moment, a bloody smell suddenly came from the center of the random rocks. He held the spear and stared at it. A pair of blood-red eyes the size of copper bells slowly appeared in the night.
A half-human-tall tiger appeared slowly. Li Qinglin squinted his eyes and looked at the fleshy wings on the tiger’s back. The fleshy wings were several feet long when stretched out. There was actually a hint of displeasure of being disturbed in the blood-red pupils. Compared with the mutated wild boars he saw before, this tiger obviously had a little intelligence… it had become a beastkin.
With a roar of the tiger, the ferocious tiger flew forward.
Li Qinglin wanted to test the so-called ‘not chasing people’, so he came out from the pile of rocks.
Sure enough, the tiger seemed to be blocked by something; it couldn’t get out.
Li Qinglin’s eyes looked at the texture of the ground again, and he smiled slightly. This must be the array that restrains this tiger. There is indeed an expert here.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll get rid of it for you.”
Li Qinglin’s long spear shook, swinging out a silver dragon shape. As the long spear whistled, there seemed to be a dragon chant.
On the other side, Li Qingjun couldn’t sleep because of her rage toward Qin Yi, so she sat cross-legged and meditated while concentrating. Before meditating for a long time, the sound of tiger roar and dragon chant faintly came from the wind. Li Qingjun suddenly opened her eyes, “Heavenly Dragon Chant? Brother!”
She couldn’t sit still any longer. She picked up the silver spear on the bedside and hurried out.
Watching Li Qingjun disappear into the night, Qin Yi followed slowly.
He purposely disseminated information about the immortal track that no one cared about anymore. The purpose was to attract new immortal seekers to come and get rid of the tiger.
This tiger had been transformed into beastkin, and he couldn’t beat it, so he had to learn the beastkin binding array from Liu Su. Then, he restrained it in the pile of rocks to avoid it from hurting people. But this was not a long-term solution, what if one day it could no longer be restrained? After all, it was necessary to get rid of this hidden danger.
After the beastkin tiger is removed, I can also dig out the beastkin transformation miasma. From then on, the world is my home. Whether it is living here or traveling around the world, I have nothing to care about.
I hope the Li Family brother and sister are reliable.
Before reaching the top of the mountain, he could already see the silver light shining like lightning. The terrifying aftermath of energy in the air shook away the grass, trees, sand and stones. When he got close, he could feel the sharp auras all over the space. If he got closer, he would be riddled with holes.
“Very powerful martial artist, I’m afraid they have already passed the Yijing Stage and stepped into the peak of innateness.” Liu Su said, “I can’t imagine that there are people who have practiced mortal martial arts to such a high level in this remote and small country.”
Qin Yi was a little speechless. He was also learning martial arts. He knew this statement meant that Li Qinglin’s martial arts level was already top-notch in the mortal world. Anyone who was stronger than him could be regarded as a peerless powerhouse in the mortal world. If he was a step further, he would take the route of sword cultivation or sanctification of the physical body, which was no longer mortal martial arts. There were very few people in the world who had this opportunity.
That was why some people looked for immortals.
Stepping on the top of the mountain, the first thing he saw was Li Qinglin’s silver light flashing by, and the strange tiger fluttered its wings and flew away, extremely agile. Li Qinglin missed the plunge, and he flicked the spear and swept at the wing of the strange tiger. The strange tiger waved its wing to parry the spear. There was a loud ‘bang’. The thousand catties tiger was knocked to the mountain wall.
Li Qinglin only took a step back, obviously having the absolute upper hand.
With a soft shout, Li Qingjun joined the battle with a spear. The fierce tiger, that was knocked to the mountain wall, was still a little stunned, then it was hit by a silver spear. It had the same cold light and the same indomitable momentum.
At the same time, Li Qinglin cooperated tacitly and plunged from the other side of the tiger, sealing any dodging space.
“Roar!” The strange tiger jumped up abruptly, then it flicked its tail at Li Qingjun’s spear. Li Qingjun groaned, but instead of stopping, she went against the momentum. She was strong like a dragon.
The strange tiger lost the chance to break through from this side, so it could no longer dodge Li Qinglin’s spear. It was eventually stabbed in the side by the spear, bleeding profusely.
The injured tiger roared wildly and rushed in Li Qingjun’s direction. Li Qingjun crossed her spear. A huge force directly knocked her into the air for a long distance, and her boots left long marks on the ground. Li Qinglin dragged and swung the spear that pierced into the abdomen of the tiger, throwing the big tiger onto the rocks. With a ‘bang’, there was an earth shattering tremor.
Li Qingjun hit the rocks on the other side, and blood overflowed from her mouth. She didn’t even bother wiping it off before charging forward again.
“This girl is quite amazing.” Qin Yi felt a little admiration. This tiger is already much more powerful than when I arranged the beastkin binding array. It seems to have absorbed a lot of beastkin aura from the beastkin transformation miasma here, and it has evolved again. If it was this strong back then, I’m afraid I can’t even set up the beastkin binding array.
But such a delicate girl like Li Qingjun is unexpectedly so doughty!
This brother and sister really have the temperament of a warrior. Although Li Qingjun is a bit arrogant, she is definitely not a flower in a greenhouse. I don’t know what family can raise such brother and sister. Perhaps a general’s family?
Li Qinglin alone was enough to deal with the beastkin tiger. With the combined efforts of Li Qingjun, there was no suspense. The injured tiger could no longer withstand the joint attack of the brother and sister. It struggled helplessly and was finally stabbed to death on the ground.
A wisp of beastkin aura swayed and scattered in the air.
Qin Yi let out a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the siblings are reliable…
Liu Su snorted. The success of Qin Yi’s plan meant that her more vicious plan was dumped into the dumpster.
“Brother Qin, show yourself.” Li Qinglin smiled without changing his expression, “How can you not help after watching for so long? This is a beast in your mountains after all.”
Qin Yi walked out of the shadows without blushing as he said with a smile, “Everyone has their duties; I have other things to do.”
Li Qingjun gasped for breath while watching Qin Yi walk into the pile of rubble strangely. The siblings looked at each other and followed inside.
Soon Qin Yi crouched down and took out a small shovel to dig on the ground. After a while, he muttered, “Sure enough.”
Qin Yi took out a muddy object from the ground. After brushing away the mud, it looked like a small incense burner with the shape of a beastkin carved on the side of the burner. A dark red smoke faintly emitted from the burner.
Li Qingjun suddenly realized something, “It turns out that you deliberately spread the news that there is an immortal track here, just to coax people to go up the mountain to kill the tiger so that you can get the thing here!”
Qin Yi turned to look at her and smiled, “It’s not that I want to take it, but…”
While talking, he raised the mace and smashed the incense burner to pieces.
Li Qingjun was taken aback for a moment, but she was still a little upset, “But you did take advantage of us!”
Qin Yi fumbled for a piece of silver ingot, “How about… I give you money?”
Li Qingjun was so pissed off that she almost launched the spear. Li Qinglin waved his hand to stop her and said, “Brother Qin reminded me of the strange tiger on the mountain long ago, but I wanted to see it myself. Who is to blame? But judging from this, the tiger was bound here by Brother Qin?”
Qin Yi nodded, “I can’t let it hurt people.”
Li Qinglin said, “There is another resentment aura in the mountains, and Brother Qin can solve it with a single pill. Coupled with the familiarity with this special thing and the array that binds beastkin things, Brother Qin is indeed a taoist who knows all kinds of strange arts. You have real talent and learning, may I know where did you learn it from?”
“I’m not exactly a taoist. I’m just blindly exploring around by myself…” Qin Yi could only say, “Brother Li, do you have anything to tell?”
“Oh, I see.” Li Qinglin sighed slightly, “My father has been bewitched by some swindling taoists in recent years that he overconsumes elixir. His health has deteriorated day by day. As his children, we are very worried. Brother Qin has real talent. Can you set things right for my father in view of our filial piety, eliminating the false and preserving the true. As for the reward, Brother Qin will surely be satisfied.”
After a pause, he continued, “Because of this reason, Qingjun had never had a good impression of the liar taoist. That’s why she acted a little too aggressively. Please don’t mind if she offended you.”
It seemed that he thought that Qin Yi must have suffered because his sister made trouble with Qin Yi before, so he apologized on behalf of her. Li Qingjun bowed her head and said nothing. Qin Yi didn’t know what to say, so he could only say, “I’m a loafer in the mountains who is used to being undisciplined. I’m afraid I will disappoint Brother Li.”
Li Qinglin said, “Take this as my reward for getting rid of the tiger for Brother Qin. How about it?”
Qin Yi choked up for a moment, and he said with a smile, “It turns out that Brother Li also had an ulterior motive to get rid of the tiger.”
Li Qingjun glanced at her elder brother. No wonder elder brother didn’t care about being used at all. He clearly wanted to be used this time, in exchange for Qin Yi’s favor to leave the mountain.
It’s just that I don’t know anything from the beginning, just like a fool.
Qin Yi still wanted to refuse. He had a rather otaku personality, and he already thought that being in the village was pretty good, so why would he want to go out with others and get involved in some taoist dispute? He pondered for a moment, took out the antidote pill he had just refined, and said, “Let’s take this medicine as my reward for killing the tiger for me, Brother Li.”
Li Qinglin sighed and still wanted to persuade. Li Qingjun couldn’t hold back any longer and said angrily, “Let him be. What’s the big deal! We will find other people. I don’t believe that South Li has only 1 taoist!”
Li Qinglin comforted her softly, “Qingjun, you know. It will take a long time to look for someone else.”
Li Qingjun said angrily, “Looking at his evil intentions, how can we know that he is not the second Dong Huazi!”
Qin Yi had already turned around to leave, but the word ‘Dong Huazi’ caught his ears. He stopped abruptly and turned around suddenly, “Who did you say you are going to deal with?”
The original owner’s soul had been swallowed by Liu Su, but the strongest obsession and hatred remained in his body. The so-called ‘State Preceptor’ whom he hated deeply in his remnant thoughts wanted to ask ‘why’. The deep obsession had given Qin Yi many nightmares. Of course, Qin Yi had been inquiring about it these days. The person was South Li Kingdom’s State Preceptor, Taoist Dong Huazi!
Seeing Qin Yi’s change of expression, Li Qinglin felt a little regretful. Qin Yi already had a face of reluctance. Now that he knew they were going to deal with the State Preceptor, it would be even more impossible for him to go. Originally, he planned to fool around first, but his sister couldn’t refrain herself from blurting it out.
He looked at Qin Yi helplessly, and said slowly, “South Li Kingdom’s State Preceptor Dong Huazi. If Brother Qin is afraid, then I have no choice but to find another taoist.”
“No.” Qin Yi said word by word, “I’ll go with you.”
Li Qinglin was stunned, “Brother Qin, this is…”
Qin Yi coldly pointed at the shards of the incense burner on the ground, “I want to ask him why!”
Even Li Qingjun looked at Qin Yi in astonishment. She never thought that this seemingly sloppy person would have such a cold and stern expression as though he wanted to kill someone.
