Yan Qingyang followed Nguyen into the bamboo forest.

Ruan Jiang took about a dozen steps before stopping. Yan Qingyang quickly hid behind a lush bamboo.

With a whoosh of the wind, a man in a green robe landed right in front of Ran'eke.

Ji Chongshan! Yan Qingyang recognized him at a glance.

"Junior sister Ruan, is something the matter?" Ji Chonglou looked impatient as he said.

He lowered his head, took out a jade bottle, and said softly, "Senior brother Ji, this is the supreme grade Spiritfount Pill that I recently refined. I heard that you've encountered a bottleneck in your cultivation, and I was wondering if I could help you with these …"

"No need!" Before Ruan Jun could finish her sentence, Ji Zhongshan had already refused.

Ruan Bei raised his head in shock and felt a bit defeated. He murmured, "Senior Brother Ji?"

Adept Chi Dan was skilled in alchemy, and so were most of her disciples. But Ji Zhong Shan was not only busy with cultivation, he would also often take over for Adept Chi Dan to handle the internal affairs of the mountain.

As the Fire Wood Spirit Root was more suitable for alchemy, she usually had more alchemy pills.

Ji Chongshan frowned and said, "Didn't you already give me two bottles of supreme grade Accumulation Elixir last month? "I'm not finished yet. You can keep these for yourself."

Ruan Bei's face lit up when she heard this. She thought for a moment, then gripped the jade bottle in her hand and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you when you finish using it next month. By then, I'll be able to save another bottle."

Ji Chongshan declined to comment and asked somewhat impatiently: "Junior sister Ruan, is there anything else?"

"I …" Ruan Gang held onto the belt and asked cautiously, "Senior Brother, recently …" Are you all right? "Are you busy?"

Ji Chongshan frowned and said: "It's alright, Junior Sister. Is there anything else you need? "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first!"

Ruan Shi's face showed disappointment, but he quickly covered it up. He forced a smile and said, "I …"

"Eldest Senior Brother!" At this moment, a flirtatious voice sounded out from the bamboo forest and a red-clothed girl jumped off her flying sword.

The young girl had a beautiful face. She was Luo Xing.

Luo Xing landed between Ji Zhong Shan and Ruan Bei, stepped forward and grabbed Ji Zhong Shan's arm, then said: "Big Senior, I've been waiting for you for a long time, why are you so slow!" Then she turned to Ruan Bei and smiled sweetly: "Hey, big senior sister Ruan, what are you looking for big senior brother for?"

Ruan Bei couldn't help but stare at the hand that Luo Xing was holding Ji Zhongshan with. After hearing Luo Xing's question, he lowered his gaze with difficulty and said in a lonely voice, "I'm fine."

Luo Xing fixed his eyes on the jade bottle in Nguyen's hand, looked at it for a while, then smiled and said, "Sister Nguyen, what's that in your hand?"

Ruan Bei subconsciously looked at his hand, raised his head, looked at Luo Xing, and said in a lonely voice, "Qi Ling Dan."

"Ah, I see!" Luo Xing pulled her hand away from Luo Yuan's. She clapped her hands and her smile became brighter. She rolled her eyes playfully and said with a smile, "This is the supreme pellet that Senior Sister Ruan gave Eldest Brother, right? "Eldest senior brother sure is fortunate to have Senior Sister Ruan with him. Such a precious Spiritfount Pill can be used at will."

Ji Chongshan pulled Luo Xing over and said, "Okay, aren't you looking for me? Let's go! "

"But, Senior Apprentice Brother, you haven't taken Senior Apprentice Sister's Spiritfount Pill yet?" Luo Xing pouted.

Ji Zhongshan smiled helplessly, his face full of affection. "Mine isn't finished yet. Keep those for your senior sister."

Luo Xing's eyes flashed as he said, "Aiya, Senior Martial Brother, Senior Martial Sister Ruan spent so much time refining pills in the Artifact Forging Hall and even sent a letter for you to come and get it. How could you just leave like this? "How sad you must be, senior sister."

With that, she turned around and took the Spiritfount Pill from him. She stuck out her tongue and smiled as she said, "Senior sister Ruan, I'll take it on behalf of senior brother. I'll give it to him when we get back."

Luo Xing snatched the pill away. She was stunned for a moment, but before she could say anything, Luo Xing said with a smile: "Senior Sister, is there anything else your Artifact Forging Hall needs?" "Hurry up and go back!"

Ruan Bei was shocked for a moment. Ji Zhong Shan was looking down at Luo Xing, his face full of smiles and his eyes filled with love. He felt sad, so he lowered his head and said, "Brother, I'll be leaving first."

Ji Zhong Shan didn't even look at Ruan Jun, but nodded.

Ruan Bei turned and walked away, staggering as if he were fleeing.

When he saw Ruan Jiang walk away, Luo Xing touched the jade bottle in his hand and said to Ji Zhong Shan with a smile, "Big Brother, I'll give this Spiritfount Pill to you."

Ji Zhong Shan laughed, pointed at Luo Xing's nose and said, "Alright, I don't know what you're thinking. Take this bottle of Spiritfount Pill and use it in the future."

She put away the jade bottle without any hesitation and said, "Eldest senior brother, how can you treat Elder sister Ruan like this? In a place like the Artifact Forging Hall, refining pills is a waste of your cultivation. Senior sister Ruan is so good to you, you must treasure her."

When Ji Zhongshan heard this, his face sank. He snorted and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore. I have already seen through such a hypocritical and selfish person!"

"Eldest senior brother, when you were heavily injured, it was because Senior Sister Ruan went to her master to ask for a supreme quality Bone Refining Pill, and because of that, you were punished to come to the Artifact Forging Hall," Luo Xing quickly said.

"You don't need to speak up for her, you clearly asked for the supreme grade Great Bone Birthing Pill!" "She deserves to be punished!" Ji Zhongshan interrupted Luo Xing and said.

"Senior apprentice-brother …"

"Alright, let's go," Ji Chongshan said, not wanting to mention Ruan Bei anymore.

Luo Xing closed his mouth, a look of complacency flashing across his eyes as he rose up on his sword.

He unsheathed his sword and held it horizontally in front of him. Before stepping on the flying sword, he turned around and looked in the direction Yan Qingyang was hiding in.

Yan Qingyang shuddered. He could see Ji Zhongshan's spirit just now, but how could he have forgotten that Ji Zhongshan was already at the middle level of the Foundation Establishment stage? If he had paid the slightest bit of attention, how could he not have been discovered?

Ji Zhong Shan snorted and stepped on his flying sword. With a wave of his sleeve, a sharp sword qi shot towards Yan Qing Yang.

The sword aura was extremely fast, and Yan Qingyang was unable to dodge it even if he saw it.

With a "shua shua" sound, the sword Qi brushed past her and cut off a few bamboos beside her. Bamboo leaves and branches fell to the ground.

Yan Qingyang's hair was lifted up by the bamboo leaves brought up by the sword aura. A few strands of hair floated down leisurely.

She broke out in a cold sweat.

Ji Zhongshan had already soared into the skies and was flying away on his sword.

Yan Qingyang slowly walked out of the bamboo forest after Ji Zhongshan had gone far away, thinking about everything she had just seen.

In his previous life, Ji Chongshan and Ruan Bei were on very good terms with each other. For a long period of time, the only direct disciples of the Crimson Core Sect were Ji Chongshan and Ruan Bei. The two of them were very close, often going in and out of the sect together.

However, there came a 'star'!
