I remembered something and asked, "Then, did you manage to find the souls of Qin Juan and her senior brother?"

Qing Ling nodded. "I've found it. Before Duanmu Rong died, he read Xue Ji's memories. He told me everything."

It turned out that Qin Juan's soul wasn't intentionally hidden by Xue Ji, but because Qin Juan's soul had already been damaged while she was cultivating the Hundred Demon Imperial Body Technique; thus, after her death, her soul was extremely weak and was temporarily sealed within Xue Ji's ice world. After Xue Ji's death, the ice world disappeared, and Qin Juan's soul naturally appeared.

"Then what about the damaged soul? There's no way to reincarnate, right? Are you going to look for Muyu? "

Qing Ling nodded her head, "When you are better, I will go down the mountain and find brother Huang to borrow the Soul Lamp." With the Soul Lamp, Qin Juan's soul could be collected. This way, there's no need for Pavilion Master Qin to be so sad. "

I nodded, but my heart suddenly felt a little depressed.

Although it had been a long time since he'd thought about it, now that he mentioned it, for some reason, his heart still felt uncomfortable.

After that, Qing Ling really did make a trip back to the palace and borrowed the Soul Lamp from Mu Yu. Only then did she gather all of Qin Juan's soul. After having obtained her daughter's soul, Hall Master Qin had even used a soul-nurturing technique to restore and reincarnate her soul. A few years later, Hall Master Qin had descended the mountain to find Qin Juan, who had been reborn, and adopted her as an adopted daughter to be raised in the Meridian Rebirth Hall … Of course, this was something that would happen a long time later.

Back to the main topic.

As I lay on the stone bed, I suddenly thought of something important … Although this kind of cold place is suitable for the foxes to recuperate, this place has been dark all year round, unable to absorb the moon's essence. Then, how should I train in the following days?

In three months, it will be the Qingming Festival. In other words, as soon as I come out of seclusion, the Evergreen Sect's most important graveyard meeting will begin, and with my current ability, how could I possibly win over other disciples? If I can't get the top spot at the Tomb Sweeping Assembly, I won't be qualified to attend the Immortal Teacher Banquet. If I can't attend the Immortal Master Banquet, I won't be able to see Xuan Yue …

I was worried, but Qing Ling glared at me. "It's not that you can't win, it's just that you definitely can't win …." Although all the disciples in the sect could sign up to participate in the Tomb Sweeping Assembly, in the end, the final victor would usually be those Advanced Disciples who had been in the sect for a long time … Some of them have been bitterly cultivating in the Evergreen Sect for decades, how could they be pushed down by a new disciple like you who hasn't even been in the sect for a year? You're looking down too much on our fellow disciples of the Evergreen Sect! "

I gloomily said, "That means no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to win!"

Actually, I do have this self-knowledge, but how can I meet my master?

With a depressed expression on my face, Qing Ling lowered her gaze. "Don't be anxious. I have my own plans when the time comes."

I was delighted: "Really?! If you have any ideas, hurry up and tell me! "

However, Qing Ling pushed me down onto the bed impatiently. "Alright, you can rest in peace here. The Evil Qi in your body has not been cleared, so don't be in such a hurry to cultivate it! "

His tone was a little rough, as if he was unhappy. While I was still in a daze, he had already lifted the lamp and was walking towards the entrance to the cave.

Feeling a little lost, I called out, "Qing Ling!"

Qing Ling paused in her steps and smiled at me with the lantern in her hand. "I'll be leaving first."

His features were handsome and his pupils were like obsidian. Under the orange light, they shone with a beautiful luster … I couldn't help but stare.

When I finally came to, he was gone. I was left alone in the cave.

I lay in the hole for a while, bored, the tightness in my chest still there.

This was probably the feeling of the demonic energy entering his body? It was really hard to bear!

I got up and chanted the Heart Cleansing Formula for a while. My heart finally felt better, but this cave was completely silent. A strange feeling of fear once again crawled into my heart.

Sure enough, foxes cannot be raised at home. I, who used to live independently in South Sky Mountain, when was I ever afraid of the dark, afraid of being alone?

But now, as if I had left the human race, I would be afraid.

I put on my clothes and walked out of the cave. I didn't expect the cave to be so deep. It took me a while to reach the end.

At the end, it was obvious that there was an invisible mana that formed a spiderweb, blocking the exit … This is too tragic, isn't it to prevent me from escaping? They really locked me in the little black room!

I tried to get out of the cave, but the spiderweb knocked me back! It seemed unlikely that I would be able to slip out, so I had to crouch at the mouth of the cave, curled up in a ball, and stare out.

The light outside the cave was blocked by magic, and I couldn't tell night from day. However, if he stayed here, he might be able to see Qing Ling earlier, right? Oh right, I forgot to ask Qing Ling just now. Who will be the one to send me food in the future? Although I've already learned the art of Fasting Valley, and wouldn't starve to death by eating wind and drinking dew, if I have to stay without meat for three months, I might as well just kill me!

Thus, I shouted towards the entrance of the cave, "Qing Ling!" "Remember to bring me a roasted chicken the next time you see me …"

There was no response from outside, only the echo from the cave wall.

I sighed gloomily and curled up on the floor, dozing.

He didn't know how long he slept, but there was no daylight left in the cave, so there was no concept of time. But my stomach was very faithful to tell me... It was about time for lunch because it was hungry!

However, Qing Ling was so heartless, she didn't come to give me food.

I sat for a while in the throes of my hunger, then fell asleep again.

When I woke up from my hunger, there was still no one to bring me food …

The first day in the dark room was the most painful day of my life, because Qingling never came to see me. I was really hungry!

I was so hungry that my head was spinning, and there was only a pot of clear water in the cave. In order to eliminate this hunger, I had no choice but to diligently practice Fasting Arts.

On the morning of the third day, the hunger finally disappeared. I secretly rejoiced in my heart … Could it be that the Fasting Technique had already taken effect?

At this moment, Qing Ling finally appeared at the entrance of the cave.

He smiled at me with the gentleness of a spring breeze. "How is it? Hungry! "

He conjured a roast chicken from behind him.

Ah … At this moment, using the word "hungry tiger pouncing on its prey" isn't enough to describe me.

I wolfed down the whole roasted chicken and scolded him with my eyes, "I don't care how you leave me!"

Qing Ling smiled. "Because of the Evil Qi entering your body, you will have to starve for two days. If I tell you directly, you definitely won't let me go, so I lied to you. "

My face was filled with tears of grievance. "Qing Ling is such a bad guy!"

Qing Ling smiled and helped me wipe the grease off the corner of my mouth. How about it? Is your chest still stuffy? "

It was only then that I realized that after a few days of training in Fasting, the depressed feeling in my chest had already dissipated.

Although I knew that he meant well, the grievances I felt over the past two days still made me mind a lot.

He ate and drank to his heart's content. Then, he received Qing Ling's close-fitting physiotherapy before transforming back into a fox once more, retracting into his lap to warm himself.

There was a faint magnolia scent on his body, and the man's body heat was very comfortable. I kept dozing off in satisfaction.

Green Feathers stroked my hair and sat with me at the entrance to the cave, silent. Suddenly, he sighed and said, "Ah Wu, do you really want to see Xuan Yue that much?"

I was dozing off, so I said, "Of course!"

Then, he stopped talking.

In the following three months, the collar worker didn't leave me alone like the first two days. Instead, he would come to accompany me almost every day. He often stayed in the cave all day long, and told me all kinds of amazing stories in addition to healing me … For example, the story of him living in the palace when he was young, the story of his training in the Evergreen Sect when he was young, and the interesting stories of how he went out to gain experience, slay demons, and exterminating devils. He had even toured the Heaven Realm before because a certain immortal master came back one year and brought three disciples to the Heaven Realm to study. Because of his outstanding performance, he was fortunate to be one of them.
