Mortal's Journey: Reborn as Xin Ruyin, she begins by possessing Qi Yun's body.

Senior Brother Lu was both shocked and furious. He never expected that his carefully planned good deed would be sabotaged by someone in secret, and he never expected that the other party would even set up an array.

In his panic, he dared not be careless in the slightest. He immediately used his movement technique, his figure quickly dodging in the mist. At the same time, he chanted incantations, and a faint blue spiritual light emanated from his body as he unleashed a series of wind-type spells.

Wind blades and wind walls continuously resisted the incoming water arrows and water whips, attempting to break free from the formation's constraints.

In addition, he suddenly raised his hand and threw out a blue flag. The flag fluttered in the wind and instantly grew to several meters in size. Embroidered on the flag was a ferocious blue dragon, and the sound of a dragon's roar could be faintly heard. It was his top-level magic weapon, the Blue Dragon Flag.

The Azure Dragon Banner hovered above his head, releasing a dense spiritual energy that formed a solid barrier, blocking the vast majority of water-attribute attacks.

Even so, the attacks from the Thousand Waves Bewildering Array were relentless, and the interference of the fog made it difficult for him to discern directions, leaving him only able to passively defend.

His magical power was being depleted, his face was gradually turning pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His original calm expression had long been replaced by panic.

He tried several times to use his spiritual power to investigate the flaws in the formation and to find Qi Yunxiao, who was hiding in the shadows, but he was always disturbed by the mist and the fluctuations of the formation and found nothing.

After an unknown amount of time, Senior Brother Lu's magical power was finally exhausted, and the spiritual light around him gradually dimmed. The Azure Dragon Banner also lost its spiritual power support, slowly shrank, and fell back into his hand.

He staggered back a few steps, his eyes unfocused, no longer able to resist the array's attack. A water whip lashed his back hard, he groaned, his body went limp, and then everything went black as he fell straight down, completely unconscious.

Qi Yunxiao remained vigilant. Only after confirming that Senior Brother Lu had completely lost consciousness did he manipulate the formation, slightly reducing the fog and attacks. With a flicker of his figure, he slipped into the formation like a ghost and arrived in front of Senior Brother Lu.

With a flick of his finger, several pale blue spiritual energy threads materialized out of thin air, wrapping around Senior Brother Lu's limbs and torso, binding him tightly to prevent him from waking up midway.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Yunxiao leaned back slightly, quickly reached out with his right hand, took out a yellow calming talisman from his storage bag, and without hesitation stuck it on Senior Brother Lu's forehead.

The moment the calming talisman was applied, it transformed into a beam of spiritual light, merging into Senior Brother Lu's body and completely suppressing the remaining spiritual power within him, ensuring that he would not wake up for a short period of time.

After doing all this, Qi Yunxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a black bottle-shaped magic artifact that he had crafted himself. The artifact was engraved with complex runes and emitted a faint, chilling aura.

He placed the magic artifact on Senior Brother Lu's head, channeled his spiritual power through his fingertips, and the artifact instantly glowed with a faint light. A faint, transparent soul was slowly drawn out of Senior Brother Lu's body; it was his soul.

The moment the soul left the body, it was firmly locked by the magical artifact and could not escape.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qi Yunxiao raised his hand and swept away Senior Brother Lu's corpse along with his storage bag.

Instead of putting it into its own storage bag, it was sent directly into the exclusive space inside the Bagua Furnace.

He knew that the cultivation world was full of wonders. Some cultivators would leave special secret marks on themselves or their storage bags to locate their whereabouts. If the corpse and storage bag were put into an ordinary storage bag, they would inevitably be tracked down.

Only the space inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace, which isolates all auras and marks, is the safest.

After dealing with Senior Brother Lu, Qi Yunxiao turned to look at another corner of the formation.

There, Chen Qiaoqian was slumped on the ground, her body burning hot, her cheeks flushed, her eyes glazed, and she was making soft murmurs as she unconsciously tore at the remaining pieces of her clothes.

Clearly, the effects of the Hehuan Pill were still in effect, and he was so engrossed in his own amusement that he was completely oblivious to everything around him.

Qi Yunxiao stepped forward, his brows furrowing slightly. He thought to himself, "The effects of this Aphrodisiac Pill are quite potent. If she continues like this, the effects will completely erode her meridians. Even if she wakes up, her cultivation will be damaged, and she might even be completely ruined. That would be a huge loss."

Without further hesitation, he flashed and quietly appeared behind Chen Qiaoqian. Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, he formed his right hand into a knife and made a light, precise slash, striking the back of her neck.

"Well……"

Chen Qiaoqian let out a muffled groan, her body went limp, and she instantly lost consciousness. The heat that had been coma seemed to subside slightly due to her unconsciousness.

Qi Yunxiao bent down and carefully picked up Chen Qiaoqian, whose body was burning hot and whose clothes were disheveled. Her body was soft and hot, and he could clearly feel her body temperature through the thin fabric.

Qi Yunxiao remained calm and free of any distracting thoughts. He carried her and turned to leave the formation. Following his memory, he found a hidden cave not far away.

The cave was small, but dry and clean inside, which was just right for temporarily settling Chen Qiaoqian in, and also gave him time to deal with the follow-up matters.

He had found and prepared this cave in advance.

Qi Yunxiao carried Chen Qiaoqian into the cave. The cave was dry and windless, with a layer of fine, dry grass covering the ground.

He carefully placed her on the hay, moving gently so as not to disturb her unconscious state.

After settling in, he straightened up and looked at Chen Qiaoqian's face.

Her face was still flushed, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her breathing was a little rapid, and there was an unconscious murmur at the corner of her mouth, obviously the effects of the Hehuan Pill had not completely worn off.

Her delicate yet alluring appearance stirred something within Qi Yunxiao, who then sighed helplessly.

He was still somewhat soft-hearted, so he turned around, walked back to Chen Qiaoqian, squatted down, and took out a small white porcelain bottle from his pocket.

The bottle was smooth and had a faint medicinal fragrance. He unscrewed the stopper, gave it a gentle shake, and a small amount of white powder fell into his palm. It was as fine as dust, and it was the Qingling Powder that he had prepared in advance.

Qingling Powder is effective against all kinds of poisons, and it is also very effective against aphrodisiacs such as Hehuan Dan.

Qi Yunxiao stretched out his other hand, lightly touched his fingertip with a little medicine powder, and carefully touched Chen Qiaoqian's lips.

He gently fed the powder into her lips, muttering to himself with a hint of helplessness, "Luckily, I prepared this Qingling Powder in advance. Since I took your Foundation Establishment Pill, this is my reward to you."

He knew in his heart that although the aphrodisiac of the Hehuan Pill was not fatal, it was very domineering. If it was not cured for a long time, the medicinal power would slowly erode his meridians and deplete his vital energy. Even if he eventually woke up, his cultivation would be greatly affected, and he might even be left with a chronic illness.

In his view, he not only saved Chen Qiaoqian's life from Senior Brother Lu, but also helped her get rid of the aphrodisiac. This favor was far more valuable than a Foundation Establishment Pill.
