Chapter 1302  Things Have Changed and People Have Not Changed

Although the Bai family monks had lost sight of Xiao Mian, when Shen Aomei and Xiao Mian walked out of Aomei Zhai, the entire Bai family was shocked.

"Fellow Daoist Shen! I heard that you were in seclusion a few days ago, why did you suddenly come out of seclusion? Fellow Taoist usually stays in seclusion, where are you going?" Bai Yushan, the head of the Bai family, soon appeared in front of Shen Aomei and In front of Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian turned a blind eye, just looked at Shen Aomei, and asked with a smile: "Is there something wrong with my Bai family?"

"The leader of the Bai family made a serious statement! Thirty years ago, when I joined the Bai family, I made it clear: If the Bai family tolerates me, I will repay you one day. But I, Shen Aomei, did not sell it to you, the Bai family. One day, if I want to leave, and the Bai family must not drag their feet!"

"This... Fellow Daoist Shen is serious! Yushan just wanted to ask..."

"Master Bai, there is no need to say more! Today, I will leave the Bai family!"

"……,good!"

Giving Shen Aomei a fierce look, Bai Yushan's eyes unknowingly shifted to Xiao Mian, but he quickly turned back.

"Ha! We have known each other for many years. Fellow Daoist Shen has worked hard for my Bai family. Yushan advises Fellow Daoist Shen: Although the Five Elements Sect is good, it is someone else's sect! A few days ago, Zhou Fengdu, the leader of the Five Elements Sect's Jinxiao Peak, and Zhang Zhang, the leader of the Changchun Peak Hongdao unfortunately died on the same day, and Mu Shangbai, the leader of Yanzhu Peak, is alive and dead, and his whereabouts are unknown!"

Bai Yushan's words clearly had ulterior motives, but he was also self-righteous - he thought Xiao Mian encouraged Shen Aomei to enter the Five Elements Sect and sit in the Bibo Pond!

With an expressionless face, Shen Aomei said no more and said goodbye to the Bai family.

At this point, Xiao Mian wanted to leave the Bai family temporarily to avoid embarrassment, but at this moment, a white light came through the sky and appeared in front of everyone.

All the monks from the Bai family changed their expressions and bowed in salute.

Even the head of the Bai family, Bai Yushan, would not dare to be rude.

Just because that white light was the manifestation of Bai Haonan's Nascent Soul.

Even Xiao Mian bowed obediently and did not dare to make any mistakes.

"We will not reject anyone who comes, and we will not keep anyone who goes. If our Bai family didn't even have this kind of courage, we wouldn't have to hang out in Wanzong City!" The ancestor of the Bai family didn't even look at the Bai family. Instead, he looked towards Xiao Mian threw out a spiritual light, Xiao Mian caught it, and heard the ancestor of the Bai family say calmly: "This thing is done, don't forget the promise you made before!"

"Senior has great righteousness, and junior should repay the favor! I just don't know that boy..."

"In order to shorten the elixir refining time, I used his life essence and blood. He just lost too much blood and was temporarily comatose. There is nothing serious! Don't worry! That kid is a good seedling named by senior Wan Zongsheng to cultivate. Everyone in the Bai family , no one dares to touch him!”

The ancestor of the Bai family was well versed in human nature, so he naturally knew what Xiao Mian was worried about.

"Well, thank you, ancestor!" After bowing again, Xiao Mian presented a flawless piece to the ancestor of the Bai family as a thank you gift, and then left the Bai family with his head held high.

Although there was an agreement between Xiao Mian and the ancestor of the Bai family, Xiao Mian promised to rescue Bai Jintang in exchange for the soul-searching pill.

But the Bai family's ancestor was able to refine the soul-searching pill in such a short period of time, which was beyond Xiao Mian's expectation - obviously, the Bai family's ancestor also worked hard!

Since he gave him a peach, Xiao Mian naturally didn't mind repaying him with a peach!

If you can ease your relationship with the Bai family through this matter, what does it mean if there is nothing wrong with it?

Besides, today I exchanged a Soul-Searching Pill for a Soul-Searching Pill, which is of equal value. I will save Bai Jintang in the future, but it depends on whether the Bai family can be a good person!

Leaving Fu Qingjue in the Bai family, Xiao Mian walked out of the Bai family's old house alone.

After passing the Jubao Pavilion again, Xiao Mian mentioned the matter of Shen Aomei to Chi Lianxia.

Chi Lianxia didn't care. After all, Jubao Pavilion had a shallow foundation in Wan Zong City, and it was necessary to recruit a large number of local monks in Wan Zong City for its own use.

After being introduced by Xiao Mian, Chi Lianxia felt much more at ease using it.

After all, Xiao Mian is in charge of the Supervisory Order and can be considered a member of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, Xiao Mian passed through Lingchuanfang City again and rushed back to the Five Elements Gate. However, this time, the person Xiao Mian picked up was no longer Fu Qingjue, but Xiao Chuqing.

Of course, it's still Guitou.

Now that the search for souls and soul pills is complete, Xiao Mian is about to enter the ghost cave.

On this trip to the Yin-Yang Channel, Guitou will definitely be a big help to him.

But in this way, Huangfuling was the only one left in the huge Bibotan. After all, Huangfuling was the leader of the Bibotan lineage of the Five Elements Sect. Although the Bibotan lineage now exists in name only, with this name, Huangfuling would be the leader. One more responsibility.

If not, Xiao Mian might have taken Huangfuling out of the Five Elements Sect...

After delivering Xiao Chuqing to Shen Aomei of Jubao Pavilion, Xiao Mian returned to Lingchuanfang City without stopping.

After leaving Lingchuanfang City, Xiao Mian headed north.

Xiao Mian's destination was Huoyunling where he encountered the fire beast Qingjing that day. To be more precise, it was the burial place of the fire beast clan!

It took Xiao Mian several days to rush from Lingchuanfang City to Huoyunling. Now, at Xiao Mian's speed, he was able to travel thousands of miles in an instant.

Along the way, I care about you all the time and feel emotional everywhere...

There was a fierce battle with the elite disciple Duanshui Shui of the Demon Shadow Sect, there was also a place where Huangfuling joined forces to attack Liu Erhuai and three others, and there was a place where he and Xiang Wuqing joined forces to fight against Lu Chengzhi.

At the end, it was the place of revenge for killing Lu Chengfeng, who was part of Yanzhu Peak!

Unfortunately, Xiao Mian was worried about Fu Qingqiong, but he didn't feel too much about it.

Speaking of those old enemies, except for Lu Chengzhi, whose whereabouts are unknown, the others have already died at the hands of Xiao Mian. The past is like the wind, and there is no point in talking about it.

However, thinking of Lu Chengzhi, Xiao Mian was a little surprised.

The Yuanyan Patriarch fell, the Demon Shadow Sect was destroyed, and where is Lu Chengzhi now?

If this boy died, it would be fine. If he didn't die, he would be a disaster!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian saw three thatched houses within his sight - these three thatched houses were built by Xiao Mian and Xuan Lang himself.

After Xiao Mian killed Lu Chengfeng that day, he left and never looked back.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the thatched house is still the same, but things have changed...

When he arrived in front of the thatched house, Xiao Mian was quite sad, but the next moment, his expression moved, and at the same time, the door of the thatched house opened and a person walked out.

The man was dressed in green, with a plain face, and he was extremely elegant and unworldly.

The two met, looked into each other's eyes, and did not move or speak for a long time.

Ye Qingguo!

Ye Qingguo, who was just a yellow-haired girl when Xiao Mian first met her, has now grown into a graceful young lady. What's more rare is that Ye Qingguo has successfully formed a golden elixir!

Although she is only at the initial stage of golden elixir cultivation, Ye Qingguo is able to protect herself in this deserted wasteland.

But at this moment, Ye Qingguo was quite unmoved when she first saw Xiao Mian.

Looking at Xiao Mian who was so close, Ye Qingguo's jade-like face showed a self-deprecating bitter smile, shook her head, and was about to turn around and leave.

Xiao Mian was surprised to see this.

This girl!

Could it be that she doesn't recognize me?

"Qingguo'er! I haven't seen you for 20 years. Don't you recognize me?"

When Xiao Mian said this, Ye Qingguo, who had already turned halfway, suddenly trembled, and two lines of tears fell silently.

Turning around slowly, Ye Qingguo had wiped away her tears.

Facing Xiao Mian, Ye Qingguo was surprised and happy.

"Brother! Is it really you?"

"..., Qingguoer!"

Seeing Ye Qingguo in such a state, how could Xiao Mian not know the reason?

Obviously, Ye Qingguo had imagined Xiao Mian's arrival more than once, but it was just a fantasy and self-deception.

When he saw Xiao Mian for the first time today, Ye Qingguo thought it was just another illusion.

Xiao Mian had long been aware of Ye Qingguo's feelings for him, but Xiao Mian was always thinking about Fu Qingqiong and treated Ye Qingguo like a sister, without any private feelings between men and women.

Xiao Mian always thought that Ye Qingguo treated him as a brother, a friend, and a teacher, mixed with some admiration, but the little girl was inexperienced and inevitably confused. When he left Nanyue, over time, Ye Qingguo would forget her feelings for him and find her own happiness.

Now it seems that things may not be as simple as I thought...

But now that Fu Qingqiong's soul has been scattered, Xiao Mian has no time to think about it.

In a few words, Xiao Mian learned about Ye Qingguo's current situation.

Before Xiao Mian left Wanzong City, he entrusted Ye Qingguo to the care of the scholar. Although the scholar was in seclusion, he also properly settled Ye Qingguo.

After that, the scholar was in seclusion, and the ancestor of the Bai family took charge of things.

For Ye Qingguo, a genius in alchemy who can improve the luck pill, the ancestor of the Bai family paid great attention to him, and even made an exception to let Ye Qingguo enter the Bai family's old house and personally instruct him.

With the Bai family's alchemy skills and the supply of spiritual herbs from the farmer's family, Ye Qingguo's alchemy attainments increased day by day.

In the end, what limited Ye Qingguo's alchemy was her cultivation!

Without entering the golden elixir stage, Ye Qingguo could only refine a fourth-grade spiritual pill at most. Even if she knew how to refine a spiritual pill above the fourth grade, she could not open the furnace to refine the pill.

From then on, Ye Qingguo devoted herself to cultivation.

Finally, her efforts paid off, and Ye Qingguo successfully formed a golden elixir ten years ago.

After forming a golden elixir, Ye Qingguo declined the invitation of the Bai family's ancestor and resolutely left Wanzong City. At that time, Ye Qingguo wanted to enter the Five Elements Gate. As an alchemist of a golden elixir cultivator, once she entered the Five Elements Gate, she would definitely be the focus of training.

Ye Qingguo did find the Five Elements Mountain, but before she entered the Five Elements Gate, someone blocked her way.

Fu Qingqiong!

It was Fu Qingqiong who blocked Ye Qingguo's determination to enter the Five Elements Gate.

Ye Qingguo naturally knew the relationship between Fu Qingqiong and Xiao Mian. Facing Fu Qingqiong's refusal without leaving any room for negotiation, Ye Qingguo felt that he had nowhere to go after leaving the Five Elements Mountain.

Suddenly, good fortune came to her heart, and Ye Qingguo remembered this paradise...

For ten years, Ye Qingguo practiced and refined elixirs here with all her heart.

Although Ye Qingguo's cultivation has not improved much, he has reached the pinnacle in alchemy, and refining the sixth-grade elixir is no problem.

This is still limited to Ye Qingguo's cultivation, and he cannot go further.

"The Five Elements Sect is not a good place! She does not allow you to enter, and she has her reasons! Moreover, I am afraid that this is not just her intention..."

After listening to Ye Qingguo's description, Xiao Mian has guessed the deep meaning of Fu Qingqiong's stopping Ye Qingguo that day - at that time, the Five Elements Sect, such as Mu Shangbai and others were popular, and even the native Bi Bo Tan lineage was restrained everywhere. If Ye Qingguo rashly joined the Five Elements Sect, it might not be a good thing for her.

Besides, if Ye Qingguo was involved in the siege of the Five Elements Sect not long ago, I am afraid that she would not be able to avoid another storm.

In this way, it is not a bad thing to practice here for ten years.

As for Ye Qingguo, ten years of practice and no concern for worldly affairs.

She didn't know that Xiao Mian was famous all over the world, nor did she know that Xiao Mian had returned. She had no way of knowing about such a big event as the siege of the Five Elements Gate.

She certainly didn't know about Fu Qingqiong's death!

Hearing what Xiao Mian said, Ye Qingguo's face changed again and again.

"Brother, you came here..."

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will save her!" After a pause, Xiao Mian said kindly: "Qingguo'er! Just take care of yourself, I'm leaving!"

"Brother..."

"Don't worry! I will be back in nine days at the latest!"

Just like that year, Xiao Mian patted Ye Qingguo's shoulders and floated away.

Looking at Xiao Mian's back as he walked away, Ye Qingguo's tears that had just been wiped away fell silently again...

After saying goodbye to Ye Qingguo, Xiao Mian gathered his mood and headed straight for the secret place.

Familiar with the road, Xiao Mian quickly entered the burial place of the fire beast.

The tall black boulders are still there, the dense holes are still there, the thin stone pillars are still there, the dark abyss is still there...

The Yellow Spring Pond is still there!

The Yellow Spring Pond, this is the destination of Xiao Mian's trip!

With a wave of his hand, a black shadow and a flame appeared beside Xiao Mian.

The black shadow is a ghost head, and the flame is the fire beast Qingjing.

Revisiting the old place, even with this ghost and monster, I also have many feelings.

"Old Ghost! Are you sure that the Yellow Spring Pond here leads directly to the Netherworld?"

"It's for sure! Now that things have come to this, I remember a lot about the past! Humph! If it weren't for the fact that the Yellow Spring Pond was so dangerous, those people would never let it go easily! If not, I would have been wiped out ten thousand years ago!" After saying this unhappily, the ghost head changed the subject: "The Yellow Spring Pond here leads directly to the Netherworld, there is no doubt about that, but do you really want to do this?"

"Old Ghost knows me, why ask more questions?"

"Okay! Since you have feelings, the old man can't be unrighteous!" At this moment, the ghost head will enter Xiao Mian was told all the methods of the Yellow Spring Pond and how to search for Fu Qingqiong's three souls and seven spirits. At the end, he sighed: "Take care of yourself!"

"Ghost Old! You don't plan to accompany me..."

"Hmph! You think too much! If you want to die, that's your freedom!" Rolling his eyes unhappily, the ghost head said to himself: "The Yin-Yang Channel, Yin and Yang are separated. Ghosts like us are lucky enough to escape the net of the underworld. Once we enter the Yin-Yang Channel, we are likely to be attracted by the underworld and even not be reborn!"

"I understand!"

Take a deep breath and Xiao Mian came to the Yellow Spring Pond.

Looking carefully, you can see a pool of Yellow Springs, which is quiet and peaceful. In the clear Yellow Springs, there is a fairy grass swaying. Around the fairy grass, there is something lingering faintly.

God-descending grass!

Back then, it was this thing that brought a catastrophe to Li Mudao.

After twenty years, Xiao Mian saw this divine grass again, and he had a new understanding.

Demonic grass, a ninth-level divine grass, with extraordinary functions!

Looking at the mysterious materials around the divine grass, Xiao Mian's heart moved, and he understood everything.

Hmph!

Lv Chengfeng, is it okay to be unable to be reborn forever?
