With the Eight Immortals' magical treasures in hand, even a mortal like myself! Ha!

Tieguai Li is skilled in healing arts, and might even be able to cure Xin Ruyin's illness, allowing her to cultivate normally.

"Then you should stay here and improve your strength, Fellow Daoist Li. Come with me to find a formation master to repair this damaged formation."

Having made up his mind, Gu Qing immediately handed over two thousand mid-grade spirit stones to Han Xiangzi. Adding the one thousand mid-grade spirit stones he had just seized from the Li brothers' storage bags, he had a total of three thousand mid-grade spirit stones, enough for Han Xiangzi to break through to the Pseudo-Nascent Soul stage.

After handing over three thousand mid-grade spirit stones to Han Xiangzi, Gu Qing had only a little over two hundred mid-grade spirit stones left.

Gu Qing divided the spirit stones into three portions: one for himself, one for Tieguai Li, and one for Han Xiangzi.

After all, magical power is greatly consumed during combat, and using spirit stones to restore magical power is the most direct way.

After distributing the spirit stones, Gu Qing and Tieguai Li left the canyon and flew towards Yuanwu Kingdom.

Tieguai Li was skilled in the art of shrinking distances, which allowed him to travel thousands of miles in an instant. Therefore, the two of them quickly arrived in Yuanwu Kingdom.

Upon arriving in Yuanwu Kingdom, Gu Qing and Tieguai Li first stopped in the mortal town where they had first met Qi Yunxiao. Then, they sent out a communication talisman and waited quietly for Qi Yunxiao to arrive.

Several days later, Qi Yunxiao finally responded and found Tieguai Li and Gu Qing.

Upon seeing the two, Qi Yunxiao bowed and said, "This junior thought I would never see you again, senior."

"Can't find me? I specifically told you to be careful when buying seeds, but you still slipped up and almost killed me. We need to settle this score." Gu Qing said with a hint of anger on his face.

"This... Senior, I was very careful. I really didn't know I had exposed my whereabouts." Qi Yunxiao was shocked to hear this. He hadn't expected that he had almost ruined Gu Qing's important matter. No wonder Gu Qing left without saying goodbye.

"Alright, I don't want to pursue this matter any further. Now take me to your Daoist partner's place," Gu Qing said.

Daoist partner? Qi Yunxiao didn't react for a moment, and only after a moment did he realize that Gu Qing was talking about Xin Ruyin.

Thinking of this, Qi Yunxiao blushed and stammered, "Miss Xin Ruyin is not my Daoist partner yet, senior, please don't misunderstand, we are just ordinary friends."

Gu Qing shook his head slightly after hearing this, secretly thinking, "This child is hopeless." Oh well, better not to say anything more; he himself wasn't much better back then. So he said, "Then let's go see this 'ordinary friend' of yours."

Upon hearing that they were going to Xin Ruyin's residence, Qi Yunxiao immediately became alert, his intelligence seemingly instantly returning to normal: "If there is anything you need, senior, just tell me to do it. There's no need for you to make the trip yourself."

Gu Qing said bluntly, "I don't trust you to do things."

These words made Qi Yunxiao somewhat embarrassed, but he really didn't want to bring such a dangerous person as Gu Qing to Xin Ruyin's residence.

Seeing Qi Yunxiao's hesitant expression, Gu Qing glanced at the pedestrians on the street and finally said in a deep voice, "Follow me!"

With that, Gu Qing and Tieguai Li turned and walked toward an inn in the distance. Seeing this, Qi Yunxiao had no choice but to quickly follow.

After entering the inn and booking a private room, Gu Qing took out a wooden box from his storage bag, slowly opened it, and inside lay a thousand-year-old spiritual herb emanating a chilling aura.

Gu Qing didn't let Qi Yunxiao identify it on his own, but said directly, "This is a thousand-year-old snow lotus, which should be helpful to your friend."

"A thousand-year-old spiritual herb?" Qi Yunxiao was both surprised and delighted, never expecting to obtain another thousand-year-old spiritual herb so quickly.

With this miraculous herb, Xin Ruyin's condition will surely be suppressed quickly.

"This thousand-year-old spiritual herb is yours. Consider it a thank you gift for the seeds you gave me last time." Gu Qing's tone suddenly became more agreeable.

Qi Yunxiao accepted the wooden box, his fingertips touching the chilling aura emanating from the Snow Lotus, feeling as if it were all unreal. He quickly cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!"

After giving the elixir, Gu Qing did not ask about Xin Ruyin's residence, but simply indicated that Qi Yunxiao could leave.

Although Qi Yunxiao had doubts, he subconsciously didn't ask any more questions. He carefully put away the wooden box, thanked Gu Qing again, and then left in a hurry.

After leaving, Qi Yunxiao did not go directly to Xin Ruyin's residence. He was quite clever and worried that Gu Qing might be secretly following him, so he went back to his own home for half a month to make sure that no one was secretly following or monitoring him before he hurriedly took the spiritual medicine to Xin Ruyin's thatched hut.

Upon arriving at the thatched hut and seeing Xin Ruyin, Qi Yunxiao immediately opened the wooden box with delight and exclaimed, "Ruyin, quickly look what this is!"

"This is... a thousand-year-old spiritual herb? Where did you get such a precious thing?" Xin Ruyin was full of surprise. Not long ago, Qi Yunxiao had found a thousand-year-old spiritual herb, and this one in front of her was obviously even more precious than the previous one.

Qi Yunxiao did not hide anything from Xin Ruyin and told her in detail how he obtained this thousand-year-old spiritual herb.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin frowned immediately, then glanced around and said in a calm tone, "I wonder what advice you have for me, senior?"

Qi Yunxiao was taken aback upon hearing this, then quickly realized what he meant and looked around, but saw nothing. When he turned back again, a look of horror instantly appeared on his face.

Gu Qing and Tieguai Li were already standing behind Xin Ruyin.

Xin Ruyin saw their reflections in Qi Yunxiao's pupils, and immediately turned around, secretly astonished. The two hadn't triggered any formations when they entered; she truly wondered just how profound their cultivation was.

Xin Ruyin reacted extremely quickly, immediately reaching out to grab something, and her magic power slowly flowed into the object in her hand.

"There's no need for a futile struggle. Let me introduce myself. I am Han Feiyu, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. This is my uncle, Tieguai Li, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. There's no need to embarrass yourself with your array formations," Gu Qing said calmly.

But these words struck Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao like a thunderbolt. How could a late-stage Core Formation cultivator come to such a remote and desolate place?

"Senior seems to know me quite well. May I ask why?" Xin Ruyin couldn't help but ask.

Gu Qing did not answer, but instead cupped his hands to Tieguai Li and said, "Uncle-Master, please take a look at her."

"Hehe, easy." Tieguai Li chuckled, reaching out and grabbing Xin Ruyin's wrist to take her pulse. Xin Ruyin felt a surge of pure magical power flowing into her body, which her own meager magical power was utterly powerless to resist.

"This person's cultivation is indeed above mine, and it's a realm that I can't resist at all." Xin Ruyin quickly made a judgment in her mind, and then stopped resisting, letting Tieguai Li treat her.
