The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror

As expected, like the master said, Chongyang Palace always has monsters appear.

She hesitated, took out a small bottle, and tossed it in front of Xu Qing, "This is the antidote."

Xu Qing smiled: "I don't have the strength, can you open it for me?"

Yue Nu rolled her eyes and then walked over to Xu Qing, gently pulled out the cork. She kept her eyes on Xu Qing and found that he really didn't have the strength.

But she still held the open bottle up, a strange fragrance wafting up.

Xu Qing sighed: "I've already been poisoned by the Sorrowful Breeze, are you not at ease yet?"

"This is the antidote." Yue Nu's face turned pale, forcing a smile.

Xu Qing: "The cork is made of rare lingxiang wood, and inside is the pollen of the Drunken Immortal Spirit Flower. These two are originally non-toxic, but once mixed together, they become highly toxic. With the Sorrowful Breeze and this deadly poison in me, I'm afraid even a Da Luo Immortal couldn't save me. So whatever you have to say, say it quickly."

Yue Nu: "Xu Daoist, I didn't expect you to have such an exquisite knowledge of poisons, even the current God of Medicine might not be as good as you are."

Xu Qing: "With these two potent poisons combined, I believe even your family's master would be powerless to resist in the short term, so what else are you not assured of? It's best if you quickly speak of your matter."

Yue Nu: "Is Xu Daoist so eager?"

She spoke as she undid her clothes.

Xu Qing's eyes widened.

He had seen this scene before.

It was the move Lin Xian'er used on Li Xunhuan in the novel.

Xu Qing then smiled bitterly: "Doing this makes my qi-blood circulate faster and makes the toxicity flare up even quicker."

Yue Nu faintly smiled: "That would be my honor."

As she spoke, she actually bent over, intending to undress Xu Qing.

When she extended her jade hand, reaching downward.

Suddenly, there was nothing before her eyes.

Xu Qing patted her shoulder from behind, "You went to all this trouble just to do this to me?"

Yue Nu trembled all over, slowly turned around, full of disbelief: "Are you really okay?"

Xu Qing: "Is it possible that you're currently caught in my illusion? How about you stab me with a knife and see if I bleed."

Yue Nu's mouth twitched, "Even if it's an illusion, you can still bleed."

Xu Qing laughed: "Well, I can't say for sure whether I'm okay right now. But, did you come to me just to do this?"

Yue Nu: "I only wanted to have a child with Xu Daoist."

Xu Qing: "For a person like you, I dare not get involved at all. Speak, who's the person behind you? You'd better tell the truth, or else I can't guarantee whether I'll seal your acupoints and then throw you outside."

Yue Nu thought about how many crude people of the worldly society were outside.

Imagining the scenario, if she were thrown outside like this, the outcome would certainly be worse than entering the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

"My master is the Happy King."

"Happy King?" Xu Qing hadn't expected to hear the name "Happy King" in this world.

Putting together everything earlier, it seems this world is indeed a martial arts world woven by some important figure.

"Have you heard of the Happy King?"

"I want to know if you've heard of the Carefree Marquis?"

Yue Nu shook her head.

Xu Qing: "Oh, then let's not talk about the Carefree Marquis first. Was it the Happy King who sent you this time?"

Yue Nu: "Master said the highest martial arts of Chongyang Palace can only be cultivated with the Child Body. If Xu Daoist loses the Child Body, perhaps..."

Xu Qing: "Why does the Happy King want to do this?"

Yue Nu: "He hopes Xu Daoist becomes strong but not too strong."

Xu Qing: "To tell you the truth, I'm truly not strong. But somewhat more brilliant than your master by a little. So now you have two choices: follow me or descend to hell."

"I am willing to follow Xu Daoist."

Xu Qing smiled: "Then put your clothes back on."

Yue Nu showed a face of disappointment but still obediently dressed.

Watching her put her clothes on, Xu Qing leisurely said: "Remember, women look better with clothes on. And men are quite the opposite."

Yue Nu was bewildered, what kind of logic is that.

Don't all men want to take off women's clothes?

Xu Qing didn't explain, continuing: "You surely know where the Ancient City of Jingjue is, lead me there."

"Xu Daoist, how do you know?"

"Isn't this news released by your master?"

Yue Nu shook her head, "It's really not."

Xu Qing was slightly surprised, "Then who?"

"Young Master Yuan Feng of the Yuan family in Guanzhong."

Xu Qing was startled, "Why does Young Master Yuan Feng of the Guanzhong Yuan family target Shi Guanyin?"

Yue Nu: "This matter, Xu Daoist might not believe. I saw Young Master Yuan and Master Kui Mei together, and the two were very intimate."

Xu Qing recalled Master Kui Mei's demeanor similar to the harsh Lady Extinction, hard to associate her with an intimate image with a young man.

Alright, you heads of prestigious sects really know how to play?

And Master Kui Mei and Young Master Yuan's age was at least fifteen years apart.

Fifteen years.

So what does Yuan Feng, dignified prince of the Guanzhong Yuan family, want from Master Kui Mei?

Older in age, unwashed, even perhaps post-menopausal?

"Does your master know this?"

"Haven't had a chance to go back and say yet."

"So where are Master Kui Mei and Young Master Yuan?"

"By the edge of the Han Sea."

The Han Sea is a dangerously vast sea of sand in the Great Desert.

More scorching than a furnace by day, yet as if placed in eternal Cold Ice by night.

Legend says there's no living creature that can survive inside.

That is a desert within the desert.

Xu Qing pondered: "So the Ancient City of Jingjue is in the Han Sea?"

"Exactly, believe this news will soon spread."

"Then let's go."

...

...

Edge of the Han Sea.

Yue Nu followed Xu Qing, trudging all the way over.

She carried packages of various sizes.

The originally tender feet were now unbearable to look at.

"Are you tired?"

"Not tired."

"Good, let's continue forward, camp in the Han Sea tonight."

Yue Nu was on the verge of tears.

Is there anything more tormenting than this?

She, a weak woman, did the equivalent of an unknown number of livestock's jobs.

Seeing her situation, Xu Qing comforted: "Think about it, to rarely come to the Han Sea. The scenery here must be unique, camping at night, looking at the moonlight and the Milky Way, it will be such a romantic thing."

He spoke with a sense of intoxication, and continued: "Be careful."

Yue Nu couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.

"Don't shatter the wine bottle, we need to drink wine and admire the moon tonight."

Yue Nu's heart fell into an ice cavern.

Now sure, this Xu Daoist is more perverse than the Happy King.

Who says men of the Central Plains are all honest?

Perhaps this was the worst decision of her life.

But never underestimate a woman's endurance.

The sacrifices they can make to survive, even simp dogs cannot imagine.

As night fell and the cool breeze blew in.

The temperature difference within the Han Sea is simply an ice-fire contrast.

Yue Nu's martial arts were certainly not mediocre, yet she struggled to withstand such cold.

Fortunately, she finally got warmth from Xu Qing.

Xu Qing sat cross-legged beside the tent, like a big furnace, constantly emitting heat.

This Taoist is more amazing than she thought.

And who would refuse warmth in a cold night?

Yue Nu couldn't help but want to get closer.

Xu Qing opened his eyes, "Did you hear any sound?"

"What sound?"

Yue Nu was puzzled.

Soon, she saw a ship appear in the desert.

Even compared to the gondolas of the misty West Lake that entice people's imaginations, even compared to the moon-shadowed boats docked beside the Qinhuai taverns at night, this ship appeared more magnificent.

Moreover, it sailed in the desert, light as nothing, like a flying ship in the sea of clouds.

Breaking through the sands, the ship steadily stopped in front of Xu Qing and Yue Nu.

Yue Nu just wanted to speak.

Then closed her mouth and slowly fell.

A crimson dot appeared at her brow.

A red spot at the brow, hit by a hidden weapon.

A thin flying needle was inserted at the center of Yue Nu's forehead.

"I heard Shi Guanyin's hidden weapon technique was learned from Fusang, truly vicious and ruthless." Xu Qing clapped his hands.

He flicked a finger, tapped Yue Nu's hindbrain, and a needle slowly withdrew.

Xu Qing pinched the needle, lightly flicking his fingers.

Tore through the evening breeze!

In the blink of an eye, a stifled groan echoed from the boat.

Yue Nu opened her eyes, drenched in sweat.

In that instant, she had walked through the Ghost Gate.

She suddenly felt immense respect for Xu Qing.

This Taoist not only could make the living die, but also bring the dead to life.

He is more terrifying than King Yan!
