Volume 5: Crimson Blood Cave Mansion Chapter 17: Gathering Together

  The purple fish's wound was recovering at a visible speed under the cover of the green light, and in just a moment, the purple fish was completely restored, looking as if it had never been injured before, which was astonishing.

  "Wow, Older Sister Li is so amazing!" The little girl with golden fish scales on her eyebrows exclaimed excitedly.

  The purple fish regained its vitality and swam excitedly around Lier's side, Lier gently stroked the purple fish and said: "Yan Zi, you know how fierce that shark is today, don't be reckless again in the future."

  That purple fish's little eyes rolled around coquettishly, its tail wagging non-stop.

  Li'er girl smiled slightly, then turned her head and was taken aback for a moment, before laughing and saying: "Mr. Liuxing, why do you always stare at me? Is there a flower on my face?" There was a hint of teasing in the corner of Li'er's mouth.

  "Ah." Qin Yu woke up with a start, and after adjusting his mood, he said: "I just saw Li'er treating the wound earlier, and I was surprised to see that the green energy seemed to have a special effect on the injury. It's amazing that it has such a remarkable effect on wounds."

  Qin Yu secretly let out a breath in his heart and couldn't help but admire himself for thinking of a response so quickly.

  The young lady smiled faintly and said, "This green energy actually belongs to a special skill of our clan. Outsiders are not allowed to learn it. It has a very good effect on human injuries. Generally, as long as they are not fatal, they can be saved."

  "Oh, it's really amazing." Qin Yu said hastily.

  Li'er girl smiled and turned back to her own room, Qin Yu sneered at himself, just now he was actually attracted by Li'er girl's expression during the treatment, that was really embarrassing, fortunately he reacted quickly.

  "Hey, Qin Yu big brother, come on and let's have another match!" Hou Fei said with a grin, waving his black rod.

  Qin Yu didn't have the mood to fight with Hou Fei at this moment, let alone fight against a mid-stage divine beast like Yuan Ying. That wasn't seeking death? Qin Yu fought, but he didn't like being abused.

  ……

  Time flies. Before he knew it, Qin Yu had been staying in the valley for half a month. During this half month, Qin Yu occasionally played with Hou Fei when his hands were itchy, and most of the time Qin Yu was cultivating the "Stellar Transformation" to master the magical technique 'North Ming'.

  Qin Yu also had another hobby - listening to the sound of the guqin.

  That girl's zither sound, Qin Yu couldn't help but admit that hearing it once was a great stroke of luck. He had heard it for so long, and it was all because Lan Shu and the girl treated him too well. According to Hou Fei, this bamboo house wasn't even allowed for him to live in.

  Qin Yu was able to accommodate a foreigner, but Hou Fei couldn't understand it either.

  Qin Yu himself also had a feeling that Uncle Lan's attitude was very good, and Li'er's attitude towards Qin Yu was also very good. Of course, Li'er's attitude towards any monster in the valley was very good, which didn't mean anything. But Uncle Lan was different. He was very strict and majestic when dealing with other monsters.

  "Even the divine beasts in the late Yuan period couldn't enter, but they let me in. Could it be... because I'm also human?" Qin Yu thought about it and could only come up with this answer.

  In fact, Qin Yu had an even more reassuring answer in his heart. However, Qin Yu did not want to think of Lan Shu and Li'er as being so despicable.

  The answer is... They are for their own 'Meteor Tears'. 7Z?

  Qin Yu never knew when he was rescued and brought back, nor did he know to what extent his injuries had healed by the time Li'er saw him. If Li'er discovered that Qin Yu's mortal wounds were now healed, she would definitely suspect that he possessed some kind of treasure.

  Although the meteor's tears merged into his body, outsiders couldn't detect it. However, outsiders would also guess what treasure it was.

  "I hope that Li'er and Lan Shu aren't treating me like this because of 'Meteor's Tears'." Qin Yu's heart remained cold and hard, having grown up alone with almost no experience of a mother's love, making him even more resilient and manly.

  The blood of Qin family's sons contains 'iron and blood'.

  Qin Yu had always been wary of these two mysterious cultivators deep down in his heart.

  Taking a deep breath, and then exhaling slowly, Qin Yu hid the thought deep in his heart, calming his emotions once again. He began to cultivate 'North Ming' for another time; the demonic path's secret technique 'North Ming' was the most important thing to Qin Yu.

  Even if he escaped from the Immortal Island, if he was caught by Cha Hong, the master of the Red Blood Cave Mansion, he would still not be able to escape death.

  Because, the power of the sea floor repair evil is far beyond that of the fairy and magic repair, occupying an area of 8 million miles around Cha Hong, which ordinary fairy door dare to oppose?

  Secondly, even if one were to arrive at the Immortal Cultivator's island, it's not certain that they would be accepted. Moreover, in the face of Cha Hong, those cultivators wouldn't dare offend him for their own sake.

  Taking both points into consideration, he must learn from 'Bei Ming', who killed Cha Hong and offended him.

  ……

  The vast expanse of the mind was shrouded in a haze, boundless and endless, where the ethereal power of souls drifted about. Qin Yu himself could feel these soul powers, with the outermost tenth being exceptionally stable due to his control.

  However, other soul powers either form whirlpools, or drift at extreme speeds, or collide with each other, all in a state of chaos. In the core area, there is the Soul Disk, where streaks of lightning flash and tremble with the souls.

  A faintly weak power of the stars flowed into the brain.

  Qin Yu dared not control too much of the star's power, after all, the more he controlled, the harder it was to grasp. So he tried his best to take only a little, just taking a thread of the star's power, but even with just a thread, Qin Yu couldn't make it merge with his soul's power.

  Try again and again.

  Before long, three periods of time had passed. How many attempts had been made in those three periods? Qin Yu did not know either. It was like trying to thread a needle - failure after failure, and even with the best of temperaments, one would still feel angry.

  In fact, this is also a way to train one's mind.

  "Failed again, it's been half a month already. When will this Northern Sea finally allow me to successfully cultivate? Am I supposed to stay hidden forever if I can't succeed in one day?" Qin Yu's eyes had a hint of resentment.

  He originally left the Profound Dragon Continent to embark on an endless journey of cultivation, and what he wanted was to make a name for himself with great fanfare. Not to shrink back and avoid his enemies.

  "Hmm——"

  The strings vibrate, and the sound of the zither rises.

  The young girl began to play the piano again, and upon hearing the melody, Qin Yu cast aside his frustration at being unable to successfully cultivate 'North Ming' and closed his eyes to quietly savor the soul-stirring music. The music stopped, but Qin Yu remained immersed in its lingering resonance.

  "Shooting star." Lan Shu walked in with big strides, and upon seeing Qin Yu's appearance, he burst out laughing. "You, being infatuated by Li'er's zither music to such an extent, you really are..."

  "Lan Shu, it's Li'er's guqin sound that has me so entranced. Normally, I wouldn't be so captivated by the sound of a guqin." Qin Yu said with a smile.

  Lan Shu smiled: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously, you little brat."

  Qin Yu smiled and shook his head, but didn't answer. Suddenly, Lan Shu's face turned serious: "Liuxing, during the days we've been chatting, you should know what kind of person I am." It was rare for Lan Shu to be so serious.

  Qin Yu saw Lan Shu like this and also became serious, nodding: "Lan Shu, whatever you have to say, just say it."

  "Flowing Uncle reminded: 'Meteor, I remind you. You must not have any hope for Lixi, it's best if you don't like her. Otherwise...you will not only suffer for a lifetime, but your life may also be lost at any time.'"

  Qin Yu was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Lan Shu, what are you talking about? Stop joking."

  Lan Shu didn't have a hint of smile: "I'm not joking, Shi Hua, you have great potential, looking at the entire Xiāo Yè world, no one will be able to catch up with you in the future. However, there's something I must tell you, once you fall for Lì Er, no matter how powerful you become, it'll all be useless. Logically speaking, I shouldn't remind you, but I really don't want to see you get destroyed like this."

  Qin Yu was inexplicably wonderful.

  "Alright, I was overthinking. But for today's sake, you'd better remember this as my advice to you." Lan Shu gazed into Qin Yu's eyes and said.

  Qin Yu rushed to his heart with a tremble, what Lian Shu said earlier was really shocking, first saying that he had great prospects, and no one in the entire Xiuxian realm could catch up with him. What did Lian Shu think of himself, was he so accurate at judging people?

  "Lan Shu, I remember." Qin Yu said with a smile.

  However, neither Qin Yu and Lan Shu can confirm one thing: emotions are fundamentally uncontrollable. When a surge of feelings emerges at a certain moment, it's impossible to stop them even if they want to.

  "Alright, work hard and train well." Lan Shu patted Qin Yu's shoulder and left.

  Qin Yu looked at Lan Shu's departing back with a thoughtful expression.

  What does Uncle Lan mean by saying this? It seems that if he likes Li'er, she might be ruined. Is there such a certain thing? Recalling the various performances of Uncle Lan and Li'er, it is clear that they should belong to some special ethnic group.

  "Hehe, maybe Lan Shu and Li'er are from a very powerful clan. However... if I want to love someone, even an immortal can't stop me, let alone them. Besides, I haven't taken a liking to anyone yet."

  Qin Yu smiled indifferently; he had never been one to shy away or retreat.

  No one can suppress him, even if it's someone stronger than him, like the master of the Red Blood Cave, Cha Hong. Qin Yu was just secretly cultivating in the dark, waiting until he could hide his identity before going out again. Qin Yu was fearless, but not in a stupid or reckless way.

  ……

  "My arm is broken, it was smashed by Old Hou." The man with two daggers and wearing armor said with a bitter face, at this moment his arm was bent at an eerie angle, obviously not a normal bend for an arm.

  Hou Fei's eyes blazed with anger, and he bellowed: "You dare to tattle on me in front of Lier sister?! I'll smash your shrimp shell into pieces!"

  "Fei Fei, stop messing around."

  Li'er girl, who had changed into a white dress, scolded Hou Fei, who immediately lowered his head and stopped speaking, with a guilty look. Li'er girl smiled reluctantly and then turned her head, stretching out her hand to cover the broken arm of Da Han.

  Qin Yu stepped into the courtyard, and his eyes lit up involuntarily.

  Bathing in the green light, Lier's face looked so holy, her skin as smooth as jade, emitting a soft green glow. Watching Lier treat others, Qin Yu felt a stirring sensation in his heart.

  Qin Yu had never felt maternal love before, and from a young age, she was very strong, with only her father's love ever entering her heart. However, at this moment, the motherly radiance of Li'er's daughter touched Qin Yu's heart for the first time.

  Qin Yu suddenly woke up with a start.

  "Shooting star, I'm reminding you, don't have any hopes for Lidi, it's best if you don't like her. Otherwise..." Lan Shu's warning from back then echoed in Qin Yu's mind once again, and he immediately broke free from the state he was in just now.

  "All right, go back and don't fight with Fei again. You'll only get hurt if you fight him." Lier's daughter cautioned.

  That Big Sweat had completely recovered from his injuries at this moment, but he said reluctantly: "Fight with him? Do you think I want to fight? Not yet... Ah, fighting with Hou Lao Da is my honor. I'm glorious and excited." This Big Sweat immediately changed his tone when he saw Hou Fei's gaze.

  The young lady smiled and turned around, only to find Qin Yu standing beside her.

  "Hello, Mr. Meteor."

  Qin Yu was also very polite, saying: "Li'er young lady, hello again. Seeing Li'er's incredible healing technique once more is truly astonishing." Suddenly, Qin Yu's face showed a hint of joy, and he clearly felt Xiao Hei flying rapidly towards his direction.

  "Mr. Meteor, it seems like you have some good news?" asked Lier, the young lady curiously.

  Qin Yu nodded excitedly and said: "My brother Xiao Hei is now rushing over here, I estimate that he will arrive in a few days."

  "Oh, congratulations to Mr. Liuxing then. When Mr. Liuxing's brother arrives, please tell me first, there are restrictions outside the valley, and outsiders can't enter without an internal guide." Lier said with a smile.

  "That's troublesome for Li'er." Qin Yu smiled and nodded.

  The young lady smiled and said: "Mr. Liuxing is busy, I'll go back to my room first." After finishing speaking, she turned around and went back to her own house.

  Qin Yu watched as Li'er's figure entered the room, and he couldn't help but smile slightly. He then turned around and returned to his own room to continue his cultivation, practicing "Stellar Transformation" and the magical technique "North Ming" every day. Qin Yu had never been lazy.

  It has been several days already.

  Qin Yu clearly felt that Xiao Hei was very close, even within a hundred miles, but Xiao Hei's body stopped moving. Qin Yu understood that Xiao Hei was blocked outside by the Inner Valley Seal. Qin Yu immediately got up to ask for Li'er's help.
