She did not have time to recover from her injuries, and immediately turned towards the Huaqing Palace. It wasn't until they discovered that the people behind them weren't following them that they started to use their spiritual energy to heal their wounds. However, the opponent's magic was too powerful, and the spiritual energy they used to nourish their wounds was nothing more than a drop in a bucket.

Gu Qing didn't dare to relax even though she was getting closer to the Huaqing Palace. But just at this time, Gu Qing heard heavy footsteps from behind him.

Gu Qing suddenly turned her head to look at the middle-aged man's gloomy face.

Her pupils constricted as she subconsciously retreated a few steps.

This person was actually following him! He quickly thought of a countermeasure in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a fierce front while shouting out loud, "You dare to mess around in Huaqing Palace's territory, aren't you afraid of bringing about a fatal disaster for the entire clan?!"

Hearing that, the middle aged man paused, a look of hesitation quickly flashed across her face, but Gu Qing had already disappeared without a trace before she could catch Gu Qing completely.

"You sharp-tongued girl, no one saw you here, but who knew it was me."

"Hmph, there is no wall in this world that doesn't let the wind pass through. As long as you hurt me, my teacher will definitely know. "

The middle-aged man's expression changed as he recalled the intimidating aura just now. His face turned pale, and after struggling for a while, he said, "My entire family's life is in Young Master Shen's hands. With him here, he will guarantee my family's safety.

After he had finished, his figure flashed as he quickly approached.

Gu Qing's face changed, she did not expect the other party to see through her thoughts so quickly. She had originally thought that since this place was so close to the Huaqing Palace, Senior Brother Yun Tian would definitely pass by other Senior Brothers and Sisters just now. She hadn't thought that the other side would not give her the opportunity to stall for time at all.

It seemed that he could only fight head on.

Fireballs and wind blades continuously flew out from her palms, blocking off all the paths the man had taken. The man's gaze sharpened. He didn't expect the spiritual energy in this girl's body to be so abundant. Even after running away for so long, she was still able to cast so many spells.

Humph!

The man snorted coldly, easily dodging her attack. He made a seal with his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, two flaming arrows pierced through the air, flying straight towards Zi Gu Qing's legs.

The man's intention was clear. He wanted her to have no chance to escape.

However, what happened next caused the man to widen his eyes. The two flame arrows seemed to have lost all of its power as it strangely slowed down its speed three feet in front of Gu Qing.

Gu Qing grabbed the opportunity and rolled sideways, at the same time, she activated her wind blades in all directions to attack the man.

Just when Gu Qing thought that her attack would miss and would launch her second attack, the man screamed, "Ah!"

When she looked over, her face was full of surprise. Hundreds of large and small wounds were inflicted on the middle-aged man's body by the wind blades. He covered his eyes and blood dripped out from the side of his face, which had lost two of his ears.

She subconsciously frowned. Why did her attack suddenly work?

The man suffered a great loss. After pausing for only a moment, he made his decision and turned around to flee.

Gu Qing was startled for a moment, but immediately reacted, her face was covered in ice, and in a blink of an eye, she blocked the man's path.

The man's eyes were hurt and he couldn't see his surroundings clearly, but he could feel that Gu Qing was right in front of him.

"Miss Gu, please let me go on account of me not successfully capturing you." He pulled down his face and begged for mercy.

Gu Qing laughed coldly, "If we were to be reversed now, would you let me go?"

The man's expression changed drastically. He didn't even have time to beg for mercy before a fireball pierced through his chest and started burning.

Ah!

The man cried out in pain. In the blink of an eye, she was surrounded by flames. Gu Qing held onto her wound, coughing out as she retreated.

"Pa Pa Pa!"

The sudden clapping sound caused Gu Qing to turn her head in shock, yet, she was met with an extremely ordinary face. Only, on that face, a pair of deep black eyes that were as dazzling as a myriad of stars, were currently staring at him while revolving a light of interest.

Seeing that it was Pei An, Gu Qing did not loosen up either, she stared at the other party, then ignored him, dragging her feet as she slowly approached Huaqing Palace.

"Is this how you repay your savior?" Pei An suddenly said, breaking the silence between the two.

"Of course I would thank him. What does that have to do with you?" Gu Qing did not even turn her head around. At that moment, she was completely exhausted, and the injuries on her body was extremely painful.

Pei An suddenly laughed gently, "Yun Tian? Did he help you kill this person? "

Gu Qing turned her head and stared at him, "I killed him myself, but I'm still very grateful to Senior Brother Yun Tian."

Pei An's smile was even more unfathomable, "You thought you could kill that man yourself, but I didn't think that you would be so ruthless."

Gu Qing suddenly turned her head, staring at Pei An's smiling yet not smiling face, "It's you?"

However, Pei An smiled and did not speak. His guard against him had fallen quite a bit, and for the first time, he replied, "If I do not kill him, my situation will be extremely dangerous."

"Is that so? "Then how are you going to repay my savior, huh?"

Gu Qing was slightly surprised, but she still thanked her.

However, just as she finished speaking, she immediately discovered that Pei An had approached her without her knowing, and the distance between the two was not even two feet. Pei An's deep eyes turned and landed on her face, which was not covered by his hair. His gaze darkened slightly, "If you are thanking me, then why did you cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Disciple level in such a short period of time?"

Gu Qing suddenly raised her head, facing his eye-catching eyes, it was just that at that moment, those eyes were filled with scrutiny.

She subconsciously thought that the other party had seen through her Pseudo-spirit Body, but how was this possible? Even Yun Tian, who was at the Core Formation Stage, could not see through it.

However, she quickly calmed down. Perhaps it was because she was being overly cautious. After all, the speed at which she advanced to the fourth layer in such a short period of time was astonishing enough for the others.

"Heh …" Have you not thought of an excuse? " Pei An suddenly said, summoning her consciousness back.

"Why ask me if you think I won't tell the truth?" Gu Qing was truly unable to understand Pei An's motive.

The corner of Pei An's mouth curved, "Even though it's an excuse, I still want to see what you have to say."

Seeing that the other party was teasing him, Gu Qing had already forgotten that he had saved him before. Her heart was filled with annoyance, and she blurted out without thinking, "I am a Pure Spirit Body, I cultivate very quickly, are you satisfied with this?"

Pei An smiled slightly, declining to comment. But Gu Qing somehow sensed a trace of ridicule from his smile.

What a weirdo!

Gu Qing came to this conclusion and did not want to bother with him anymore, "My injuries are not light, I need to return to the sect first."

After that, without waiting for Pei An's consent, he turned and left.

Pei An watched as she used a strange posture and disappeared from his line of sight. The emotions in his eyes finally settled down, and after his eyes slightly narrowed, they actually blossomed with a boundless brilliance.

After returning to the mountain, Gu Qing locked herself in her room. This time, she had suffered greatly and her body was covered with countless small and large wounds, who knew if they would leave any scars in the future. Some of her forehead hair had also been burnt off. She simply twisted it to reveal her face.

The Huaqing Palace was not like that of the Gu family. She did not need to worry about being sent to be made into a cauldron, so there was no need for her to hide her appearance.

Receiving the news that she was going back to the mountain, Hee Zhixian quickly came over.

"What happened to you?" Hee Zhixian opened his eyes wide, sweeping across her body. Although Gu Qing had changed his clothes before, the back of his hand still had some burn marks, and even some of his hair had been burnt. However, her face was completely revealed and her skin was glistening. A pair of clear eyes that was full of limpid autumn water turned, causing one's heart to tremble, and her pointed chin was accompanied by two indistinct dimples, making him seem extremely charming. Her appearance was actually not one bit worse than the.

Hee Zhixian, who had been with him for a long time, couldn't help but let his face turn red as he coughed lightly.

"I was out on a mission, I did not expect to meet an enemy," Gu Qing said concisely, as she returned Hee Zhixian to her senses.

"You met your enemy?" Hee Zhixian shouted exaggeratedly, and then began to ramble on, "I already said not to go out if there's nothing else. You're only at the fourth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, do you think that there's such a good person like me outside? "With such a face, if you don't hide properly, you'll still show your face everywhere …"

Gu Qing squinted at him, and Hee Zhixian finally felt her gaze. Only then did he realise that he had talked a bit more, and laughed, sitting next to her, "Are your injuries serious?"

Seeing that he had finally shut his mouth, Gu Qing's expression naturally became a bit more serious, and she replied: "Mn, it's a good thing that it's just superficial wounds."

Hearing that, Hee Zhixian immediately took out his own storage bag, and rummaged through it for something. After a long while, he took out a jade bottle and placed it in front of Gu Qing like a treasure, "This is a Life Muscle Pill, no matter what kind of severe injury it is, it will not leave any scars. Is it a good thing? "

He smiled as he stared at Gu Qing's face, and sure enough, he saw that her eyebrows were slightly furrowed as he thought to himself: As expected, there isn't a woman in this world who doesn't like beauty!

Although Gu Qing had covered up her appearance before for safety, she had indeed cherished her appearance a lot.

She played with the jade bottle that was holding the Life Muscles Pill, suddenly raised her head and said to Hee Zhixian seriously: "Hee Zhixian, I'm afraid we are going to have to expand our business."

On the day she came back, she had thought about it carefully. Although she had the treasures with her and was not worried about raising her cultivation level, if she wanted to increase her fighting strength, she must obtain those rank cultivation techniques. But now, she was unable to leave the Huaqing Palace to complete missions in a short period of time. If she did not complete missions, there would be no sect Contribution Point s, and she would not be able to exchange them for ranking cultivation skills. Going out to do a quest was tantamount to breaking down.

Originally, he wanted to negotiate with Zhang Qian and not monopolize the outer sect business. She needed enough money to hire people to trade for high-level spells.

Actually, I had already thought about that. As long as your cultivation increases by two levels, we don't need to worry about Zhang Qian and his backers anymore," Hee Zhixian said seriously, "Although Zhang Qian's backer is an inner disciple, he is only a Qi Disciple level 8 disciple. But you are different. You have already reached this level in less than a year since you joined the sect, so Zhang Qian's backer will definitely care about you. Once your cultivation level increases a little, it's not impossible for you to take over the outer sect business.

Gu Qing had never thought of monopolizing the outer sect business, but it was just something she needed right now. As a person, she had to leave some profits for the other party.

"You are right, let go of this matter. I will work hard to cultivate in seclusion and surpass Zhang Qian's backer." Gu Qing nodded, and agreed.

After Hee Zhixian heard this, he immediately rubbed his palms together, "Then I'll go and do it." He rose from his stool and strode away without looking back.

After Hee Zhixian left, Gu Qing began to recuperate peacefully. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed and it was just as Hee Zhixian had said.

This Muscle Meridian Rebirth Pill was indeed a good item! Once again, it proved the benefits of having money.

Hee Zhixian's business had been flourishing for the past month, but he could do nothing about it. Gu Qing finally managed to obtain a few Contribution Point s for her missions and immediately went to the Compendium Pavilion to trade in a set of Meditation Stage Yellow Rank spell: Fire Luan Technique.

In order to exchange for this lowest grade Yellow Rank technique, Hee Zhixian had paid all of his pocket money. For a long time, he sighed, it seemed that they were still too poor!
