Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Qin Chuan smiled slightly.

Because of the Longevity Formula, time has not left any marks on him; he still looks like he is in his early twenties.

With a light step, Qin Chuan drifted into a grove of trees.

The sounds of swords clashing were incessant.

Ji Ruxue was engaged in a fierce battle with a group of Xuanming Cult members.

Qin Chuan watched quietly without making a move.

The strongest among these Xuanming cult members was merely a leader who had just entered the Lesser Star Rank.

Having received guidance from him when she was young, Ji Ruxue would naturally not be unable to deal with these small fry as she was in the original timeline.

This means that Li Xingyun has lost his chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.

His relationship with Ji Ruxue may well end here.

But so what?

Qin Chuan is not Yuan Tiangang; he won't tolerate this piece of trash.

In a short while, there was not a single living Xuanming Cult member left in front of Ji Ruxue.

She clutched the small bundle at her waist and muttered to herself:

"Hopefully, this Fire Spirit Mushroom will help the young master emerge from seclusion soon..."

Suddenly, a silver needle flew over and pierced her acupoint, freezing her in place and sealing off all her senses.

"That old bastard, he really was watching from the shadows..."

Qin Chuan's expression hardened, and he bowed slightly in a certain direction:

"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief."

A figure flashed before him, exuding an aura of dominance from within—it was none other than Yuan Tiangang, the Bad Commander.

"After seven years of seclusion, you seem to have made no progress at all."

Yuan Tiangang glanced at Qin Chuan, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

As he had anticipated, given Qin Chuan's talent, his current skill level should be far greater than this.

"This disciple is ashamed and has failed the commander's expectations."

Qin Chuan sighed on the surface, but inwardly he was laughing.

With the Nine Heavens Longevity Technique at his disposal, this old codger really couldn't see through his true nature.

This is the beginning of his gradual surpassing of Yuan Tiangang and overturning the chessboard!

"Now that you have emerged from seclusion, you are in charge of the rest."

Yuan Tiangang calmly gave the order:

"I will ignite Li Xingyun's fighting spirit and potential, and let the world know that the bloodline of the Li Tang dynasty still lives on!"

Chapter 39 Disciple pays respects to Master!

Yuan Tiangang did not linger for long. After giving some instructions, he disappeared from Qin Chuan's sight in an instant.

"You don't trust me?"

Qin Chuan could sense that Yuan Tiangang hadn't gone far and was still keeping an eye on the situation.

This was within his expectations.

Given how much Yuan Tiangang valued Li Xingyun, how could he not personally oversee him?

Entrusting the task to him was probably also a test.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Qin Chuan remained outwardly calm as he removed the Huayang Needle from Ji Ruxue's body.

Upon seeing him, Ji Ruxue was both surprised and delighted, her usual icy beauty vanished.

She handed over the Fire Spirit Mushroom, which she valued more than her own life, to Qin Chuan without hesitation.

"Xue'er, take it."

Qin Chuan did not accept it.

The Fire Spirit Mushroom is of no use to him; it would be better to use it to enhance Ji Ruxue's cultivation.

"This humble servant is merely a maid; how could she be entitled to such treasures?"

Ji Ruxue shook her head repeatedly.

Although her skill level had reached the Great Star Rank, it was no less than that of the Nine Heavens Saintess.

But in her heart, she always kept her position upright and remembered her identity as the Empress's maid.

“If I say it’s okay, then it’s okay. Besides, you took it, so it should belong to you.”

Qin Chuan directly used his true energy to transform the Fire Spirit Mushroom into its purest essence and fed it into Ji Ruxue's small mouth.

"Son..."

Ji Ruxue was deeply moved.

Aside from the Empress who took her in, this young master Qin was the kindest person to her.

"What a waste! This is a Fire Spirit Mushroom!"

A pained cry rang out.

It turned out that Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan had arrived.

When Li Xingyun saw Qin Chuan feed the Fire Spirit Mushroom directly to Ji Ruxue, he was so distressed that he slapped his thigh repeatedly.

The most important function of this fire lingzhi is not to enhance one's power, but its medicinal value, which far exceeds that of so-called thousand-year-old ginseng or ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus.

"This thing can expel poison, heal wounds, and prolong life. It can even pull you back from the brink of death!"

Li Xingyun said with a pained expression:

Why did you give it to her?!

These words immediately drew a furious glare from Ji Ruxue.

Even Young Master Qin said she could take the Fire Spirit Mushroom, so why does this kid look down on her?

Ji Ruxue had misunderstood Li Xingyun.

Li Xingyun, a physician with a benevolent heart, believed that the Fire Spirit Mushroom should be used to save lives, rather than simply to enhance one's abilities.

How we handle the fire lingzhi is none of your business.

Qin Chuan spoke calmly.

He was completely indifferent to Li Xingyun at this moment.

"Yeah, senior, you shouldn't meddle in other people's business."

Lu Linxuan not only didn't speak up for Li Xingyun, but also undermined him.

"You really are my good junior sister..."

Li Xingyun was on the verge of tears. He must have accumulated a lot of good karma to have such a junior sister.

"Xue'er, go back to Fengxiang. Things are about to get dangerous here."

Qin Chuan said something to Ji Ruxue, then turned and left.

Ji Ruxue glared at Li Xingyun, who was still smiling bitterly, then mounted her horse and rode away.

Like Yuan Tiangang, Qin Chuan did not go far, but secretly watched Li Xingyun.

Seeing that Li Xingyun had dug a pit as a grave for the dead Xuanming Cult members, both of them couldn't help but shake their heads.

Li Xingyun was too kind-hearted, which could be fatal in chaotic times.

Because of this delay, trouble ensued.

"Did you two kill them?"

A chilling voice suddenly rang out, the coldness of which made Li Xingyun's hair stand on end.

He turned around abruptly and saw a familiar figure.

"Black Impermanence!"

Li Xingyun broke out in a cold sweat.

Eight years ago, Hei Wuchang was already a Great Star Rank. What level will he be at now?

Moreover, Black and White Impermanence are always inseparable; if Black Impermanence arrives, how could White Impermanence not be there?

"You have the Fire Spirit Mushroom?"

Sure enough, after Chang Haoling appeared behind Li Xingyun, Chang Xuanling also suddenly appeared beside Lu Linxuan.

Neither of them recognized Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan.

However, Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan were deeply impressed by them and felt a sense of foreboding.

"We didn't kill the person. The Fire Spirit Mushroom was wasted by a guy in a blue robe!"

Li Xingyun forced himself to explain.

The members of the Xuanming Sect are all ruthless. Even if they know that the Fire Spirit Mushroom is not in their hands, they will probably still take action against them.

However, their chances of winning against the Black and White Impermanence were slim, so they had no choice but to try anything as a last resort.

To Li Xingyun's surprise, after hearing his explanation, the Black and White Impermanence were no longer hostile and even politely inquired about the appearance of the person in the blue robe.

Is this the legendary Black and White Impermanence, the 'vengeful ghosts who snatch souls and the fickle ones who claim lives'?

If Li Xingyun hadn't seen him before, he would have seriously doubted that he had met an imposter.

"That guy came and went in a hurry, I didn't see his face clearly, I only remember that he had a knife at his waist."

Seeing that the Black and White Impermanence seemed easy to talk to, Li Xingyun told them everything he knew.

"Green robe, dagger, could it really be our master?"
