After the protagonist retired, the heroine quit

Xuan Ding Pharmacist, a Jindan realm cultivator, was searching for a medicinal herb called Jiulou Flame Lotus in the desert not long ago. His skin had changed color from the scorching sun. When he heard about the emergence of the Fengqiu Secret Realm, he was thinking about the Phoenix Blood Essence, so he temporarily put down his work and rushed to the secret realm without stopping, but unfortunately ran into this incident.

He was an expert in medicine, and relied on dietary supplements to achieve therapeutic effects. He imitated Shennong, who tasted hundreds of herbs and tried every kind of medicinal herb in the world. He experienced the drawbacks of the medicinal effects firsthand before using them as medicine. Therefore, he accidentally ate a seed of the immortal immortal a few years ago, which resulted in him becoming rejuvenated. His cultivation was solidified, and his form remained like this until he had to give up.

So although he looks young, his actual age and experience may be much older than Xiao Yu imagines.

She looks like a loli, but is she actually an old woman?

Xiao Yu thought so when he recalled some scientific knowledge that Long Wanyan had taught him on the way.

Peng!

Suddenly he felt a pain in his calf. He looked down and saw that it was the Xuan Ding pharmacist holding the medicine cauldron who kicked him angrily.

"You are thinking of something rude, right?! So rude...wait...you..."

Suddenly, Pharmacist Xuan Ding stared at Xiao Yu's face, and his expression suddenly became serious, as if he had discovered something, as if he was staring at a terrible and difficult disease.

"No... don't do that. I don't want the doctor to stare at me like that..."

Xiao Yu took a step back, wondering what she would say the next second: "Congratulations, you have a terminal illness. We have decided to use your name as the name of this terminal illness."

However, in the end, the Xuan Ding pharmacist just smiled, revealing two rows of bright teeth under his brown skin:

"Take care of yourself and be moderate! The young man's physique is so well-built, more solid than some warriors I've seen.

It's just that you are too weak, your vital energy is seriously depleted, if it continues like this it will endanger your health, would you like me to prescribe some prescriptions for you, to nourish the kidneys, regulate the qi and blood, balance the yin and yang, and food supplements... just eat something, the herbs are not as expensive as hers, and it's not a big deal, you can make up for it with a meal."

"Um...thank you, doctor, thank you for your trouble." Xiao Yu raised the corners of his mouth and laughed dryly, but did not refuse.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the tent, so it wasn't awkward after the pharmacist's advice.

Speaking of which, it was not that difficult to find the famous Xuan Ding pharmacist to see a doctor this time.

Because of the fire circle, most of the monks were driven to the area under the towering ancient tree. Although the ancient tree was right in front of them, strangely, no one went to explore it. Instead, they set up camp and built marching tents around it to rest for a while.

Humans are collective animals and they tend to gather together subconsciously.

Therefore, it was quite easy to find the tent with the sign of Xuanding Pharmacist. As soon as they met, her accompanying merman attendant saw that Li Yunshang was harmed by the white fire and her soul was damaged. He quickly made way and said that the pharmacist would provide free treatment and care for any cultivator with such symptoms.

They say the treatment is free, probably because the symptoms are special and they want to research a solution. Doctors always have a strong desire for knowledge.

After taking another prescription written by Pharmacist Xuan Ding, Xiao Yu put it away solemnly this time to avoid confusing it with Li Yunshang's prescription.

After saying hello, Xiao Yu pushed aside the door curtain and left the tent temporarily. Li Yunshang had a professional doctor to take care of her, so he was not too worried. Even if anything happened, his Soul Tanluo floating in the air would be able to protect her.

Before leaving the tent, a wounded man lying near the door caught his attention. He was a man with red hair and beard, wearing the clothes of Yanghua Valley. His clothes were tattered, his body was covered with hideous wounds, one arm was missing, his lips were tightly pursed, and he was unconscious.

"The soul is damaged, one soul and two spirits are missing, and he is on the verge of death."

Sure enough, she had the same symptoms as Li Yunshang, but the degree was much more serious. It should be considered as the amnesia that Bu Suantian mentioned.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yu walked out of the tent and looked at Long Wanyan who was guarding the entrance.

"how?"

"Fortunately, the situation is much better." Happiness is created by contrast. Compared with the extremely miserable guy at the door, Li Yunshang, who was still lively and energetic before, is indeed much better.

Long Wanyan nodded, and Xiao Yu then turned sideways to find an angle that others couldn't see, and contacted the system to replace the medicinal materials that Li Yunshang needed.

Then he handed it over to the mermaid servant who was waiting at the door.

Shark...

Xiao Yu looked at the merman follower who was holding the prescription and herbs in front of him and checking them with his head down. He was reminded of a certain unreliable saint.

It is rare to see mermaids who dare to come to the Fengqiu secret realm where fire is everywhere.

Chapter 49: Searching for the Lost Mermaid Saint

The mermaid in front of him had undoubtedly folded her fish tail and turned into a human form. Although she looked like a human overall, the fins by her ears and the soft scales at the corners of her eyes still revealed her identity as a mermaid.

Xiao Yu stared intently, taking in the details of the mermaid in front of him. Perhaps his eyes were too passionate, which attracted the attention of his master.

?

The yellow-scaled mermaid in front of him tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled look, as if asking what he wanted.

"You... are the mermaid from the South China Sea? How come you are here?!"

Xiao Yu's eyes moved around, finally settling on the unique jewel headdress on her forehead.

Well……

The yellow-scaled mermaid was startled. She opened her mouth, but said nothing. Her lips opened and closed like a mute.

After all, mermaids are creatures that live in the water. Although it is okay for them to go ashore for a short time, they will be dried up if they leave the water, unless they have the Thousand-Year-Old Water-Resistant Pearls on their body.

This involves the secret technique of the mermaids. Xiao Yu is not very clear about the details, but it seems that the ability to walk on dry land is exchanged for prohibiting sound. There are no other disadvantages, except that the technique will be broken after touching hot water.

For the mermaids, who are famous for their melodious singing voices, being unable to speak is indeed a great punishment.

After the initial panic, the pantomime-like yellow-scaled mermaid realized his specific situation, and then transmitted his thoughts through his heart:

"Fellow Daoist, how did you recognize me as a mermaid from the South China Sea?!"

As the thoughts collided, Xiao Yu's consciousness detected this meaning.

The so-called transmission of sound from the heart does not involve any specific sound. It is just a wisp of thought that carries the consciousness that one wants to convey, just like sending a telegram, sending the message to the other party.

"It seems so. Don't you mermaids in the South China Sea all have the custom of wearing headdresses on your forehead? I'm not very clear about other mermaid tribes, but the mermaids in the South China Sea all dress like this. I guess it's probably like this..."

Xiao Yu pointed to his forehead and said.

"Is that so... That can't be said that way. Never mind. It seems that fellow Daoist is very familiar with us South China Sea mermaids. Do we have any relatives there?" Hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, the yellow-scaled mermaid smiled elegantly.

Although the reason was not quite right, it was generally true. She was also curious about how Xiao Yu knew that most of the mermaids in the South China Sea dressed like this.

There are many mermaids who marry humans.

As for the fact that Xiao Yu had ever lived in the South China Sea, she absolutely did not believe it. Not to mention that humans could not breathe underwater, the fact that the mermaids in the South China Sea prohibited humans from entering was enough to put an end to this idea.

She leaned forward and sniffed, and indeed detected a faint fluctuation. This was the blessing that the mermaid placed on the person she liked.

It can ensure that the sea is calm and peaceful, avoid shipwrecks, avoid attacks by sea beasts, and have greater resistance to damage caused by water-related magic... and many other wonderful uses.

"Uh...almost...almost."

Xiao Yu tilted his head slightly and spoke vaguely.

When he was serving as a military advisor to the mermaid saint in the South China Sea, he had been on the seabed for quite some time and was naturally very familiar with the mermaids' dressing style.

"By the way, why are you here? Don't mermaids generally dislike going on land?"

"Well... Actually, I won't hide it from you. There's no need to hide it. I came ashore to look for the Saint of my tribe. I don't know if you have ever seen her."

Perhaps because there was a mermaid among Xiao Yu's relatives, the yellow-scaled mermaid pondered for a moment and decided to tell everything. After all, the more people knew, the more hope there was of successfully finding the person. What if he knew the whereabouts of the saint?

"Just a few months ago, Xia Nianmo, the merman saint of our tribe, disappeared. The tribe could not find any trace of her. The elders of the tribe suspected that she might have sneaked out to the outside world. They were furious and said they would abolish her position as saint.

As one of the followers of the Saint, I naturally did not want to see this scene. Moreover, without the Saint's suppression, the environment in the South China Sea gradually became worse, so I spontaneously went out to sea to find her.

Unfortunately, when I landed and found a place, something unexpected happened and I almost died. I was saved by the passing Xuan Ding pharmacist."

The yellow-scaled mermaid sighed and opened her mouth silently, "In order to repay your life-saving grace and to better find the Saint Lady, I will temporarily follow the pharmacist and help him out.

After all, she was running around looking for medicinal herbs! It's much better to have a doctor by your side than to be alone. You don't have to worry about getting a headache or fever on the road. The outside world... is really dangerous. I don't know where the Saint Lady is now and whether she is injured!"

"Haha... Well, she must be fine. Maybe she's resting on an island in some sea area. You can look around here more often. Maybe there's some news."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, as expected, the mermaid heroine was gone, leaving behind such a big mess.

Speaking of which, now that I have come to my senses, it seems strange that Xia Nianmo was swept to the Demon Gathering Island. How did she get swept into the undercurrent?

There are undercurrents in the sea. As a mermaid, she must know everything! How could she make such a stupid mistake?

"Thank you for your comfort, fellow Taoist, but I still want to look more on land. The Saint Lady sneaked out once, she must want to see some beautiful mountains and rivers that she doesn't usually see..."

Just as the yellow-scaled mermaid was speaking, suddenly, a panicked sound came from the tent, and then the voice of the Xuanding pharmacist came through the tent:

"Hey! Fishman...what are you doing? Why are you dawdling? Hurry up! This guy is vomiting blood again, bring a basin!"

"Oh... I'll be right there..."

The yellow-scaled mermaid answered without even turning her head, her eyes still fixed on Xiao Yu:

"Anyway, I'm very happy to meet the relatives of the mermaids in the outside world. Although I don't know which mermaid blessed you, I will pay you a visit after I find the Saint Lady and return to the South China Sea. See you later..."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly opened the door curtain and went in. Through the opened door curtain, Xiao Yu saw that the red-haired man began to vomit blood, and black blood clots were spat out. The whole person was delirious, with a hideous face, and he was mumbling something... like a madman.

No wonder Pharmacist Xuan Ding deliberately placed him near the exit.

Xiao Yu stood in front of the tent, looking a little constipated, and talked about the yellow-scaled mermaid.

The plot is getting more and more out of control, and the mermaids are starting to go out to sea and land.

But, speaking of which, the saint has been missing for so long, is only one mermaid coming out to look for her?

What about the rest?

Logically speaking, Xia Nianmo was the saint whom he had supported with great difficulty. After such a big thing happened, she shouldn't have been a mermaid with only a small number of followers, so she should be searched aimlessly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But then he changed his mind and thought about the complicated party struggles within the mermaid clan. Xiao Yu almost figured it out. There were several factions before the election for the Saint, and now that the Saint had neglected her duties and disappeared, they have begun to re-emerge.

hiss……

Trouble, we have to throw the mermaid on the island out quickly. Not just any mermaid can be the saint, otherwise, once the sea eye on the seabed rots, we'll be finished.

Now... let's first figure out the current situation of the secret realm.

It seemed that Xiao Yu and his group arrived quite late. After all, they had to rush to the Tongtian Ancient Tree area with their butts burned by the fire.

Some monks had explored the area before, but for some reason they all crowded here.

Xiao Yu was rubbing his chin, thinking about it, when suddenly, the twin moons in the sky gradually dimmed, and in a trance, a shadow climbed up.

The sky suddenly darkened, and at the same time, with a snap, something touched his shoulder.

"Eh?"

Xiao Yu turned his head and in the darkness, Long Wanyan's gray eyes flashed a red light like a cat at night.

Chapter 50, Peach Blossom Tribulation

There are a total of thirty-six sects participating in the Fengqiu Secret Realm this time, including the famous large sects and some ordinary sects that are not well-known and are trying to fish in troubled waters.

In addition, there are some independent cultivators in the mountains. In the beginning, this type of cultivators accounted for a large proportion. Unfortunately, after the restriction on independent cultivators entering the country was issued, most of them were blocked outside the secret realm and became part of the current internal and external troubles.

"Sect Master, the attacks from those independent cultivators outside the shield are so fierce that the patterns of the magic array in some places have cracked.

If this continues, if the leading Nascent Soul cultivator takes action, he will probably be able to smash it in an instant, and then... it will be the end."

Outside the Fengqiu Secret Realm, a disciple came to the third floor of the inn and reported to the room at the end of the corridor from a distance.

He lowered his head, considered his tone for a moment, and finally said:

"Disciple, I hope the Sect Master can take action and kill those ignorant mountain cultivators outside the sect in one fell swoop, so as to spread the prestige of our sect!"

The third floor fell silent, with only the crisp sounds of spells, big and small, hitting the barrier echoing.

“It’s okay. With me here, that Nascent Soul cultivator won’t dare to act rashly. Call on some cultivators in the square who understand the patterns of the formation to repair the damaged parts of the formation.

Right now I am at the critical moment of breaking through the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and I cannot afford to make any mistakes. When I come out of seclusion, I will severely punish these wandering cultivators.

If he interferes with my chance to break the mirror, I will make sure he pays for it."

A deliberately low voice came from behind the door. It was the aura of the Nascent Soul Realm, mixed with a hint of dragon might. With just a few words, it calmed the disciple's restless heart.

"Also, I have already passed on the specific situation in the secret realm. It won't be long before reinforcements arrive. You don't have to worry."
