Liu Ling's clothes were all retro-style, and when worn on the body, they gave a feeling of being like an immortal fairy.

  It's not just Liu Ling, in the entire Xiu Zhen realm, they still retain their way of life from hundreds of years ago, as if the passage of time has had no impact on the Xiu Zhen realm.

  Lin Qingyao's current appearance is only around seventeen years old. Liu Ling's clothes, when worn on her body, barely fit.

  Lin Qingyao looked at this somewhat overly thin and light clothing, although it's said that cultivators aren't afraid of the cold, but wearing something like this is a bit too eye-catching, isn't it?

  Liu Ling, on the other hand, was sizing up Lin Qingyao with a naive and smiling expression: "Junior sister, you look great in this outfit! Hmm, even better than me!" Liu Ling thought for half a day before finally praising Lin Qingyao in her own unique way.

  Lin Qingyao casually raised a flame, illuminating the cave, then glanced at her reflection in the water. The person in the water was elegant and refined, with clothes that didn't look out of place on her body.

  "What's this thing?" On the side, Liu Ling moved her foot and suddenly kicked something over.

  Lin Qingyao lowered her head and saw that it was a round, smooth blue stone on the ground. She bent down to pick it up.

  "This is a Qing Shi Yu." Lin Qingyao said with furrowed eyebrows, and couldn't help but think, how did Qing Shi Yu appear here? Qing Shi Yu, after all, was something from the Xiu Zhen realm.

  The green jade in Lin Qingyao's hand had faint patterns engraved on it, obviously having been refined by someone.

  Liu Ling walked over, took the stone from Lin Qingyao's hand, fiddled with it for a while, and finally flicked his wrist, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, before tossing the celadon jade back to Lin Qingyao.

  "But it's just a broken fragment of an array stone."

  "Sister, aren't you going to take it?" Lin Qingyao asked again, holding the stone.

  Liu Ling thought for a moment before responding, "You'd better keep it. Either way, it's still a Fast Cyan Jade Stone. Even if someone has already refined it and can't refine any more array talismans or spells, it can still be used as material for refining equipment."

  In Liu Ling's heart, this small piece of celadon jade was really nothing. She wanted it, and even a small mountain of celadon jade would be available to her. In her opinion, she should take care of her junior sister apprentice, and such a small trinket should be given to her junior sister apprentice casually.

  At first, her senior fellow apprentices also treated her like this!

  Lin Qingyao unceremoniously put the thing away, and Qing Shi Yu was not something rare, although it couldn't be said to be seen everywhere, but buying one piece also required more than a dozen low-grade spirit stones.

  Even a mosquito is meat! Now Lin Qingyao, who has become poor and white, will certainly not give up anything valuable.

  The two of them tidied up a bit and then carefully came out of the cave.

  At this moment, the sky is already dimly lit, and after returning to school, there are already a few "early birds" in the campus who are not afraid of the cold winter and come out to recite books.

  Lin Qingyao carefully slipped into her own quilt, at this moment Li Yu and Bai Menghan were still asleep, seemingly unaware that Lin Qingyao and Liu Ling had been missing for a whole night.

  Lin Qingyao didn't feel tired at all after a sleepless night, only that the fight had drained her mentally.

  Lin Qingyao didn't know that after she and Liu Ling left, another person came into that secret cave.

  That person searched carefully on the ground but couldn't find what they were looking for and felt very disappointed.

  "He muttered to himself: 'It should have fallen here, right?'"

  He sighed and walked out of the cave. Who knew that he hadn't gone far before being chased by a large bat.

  This big bat, regardless of everything, just attacks him!

  He had to use all his strength and ingenuity to escape.

  Then comes the exam.

  Three consecutive days of exams, with four subjects to be tested each day. It seems that the school intentionally shortened our time in school. Originally, we were supposed to take twelve subjects, which would have taken at least seven or eight days.

  Such intense exams have left many students complaining bitterly.

  But for Lin Qingyao, there was no feeling at all. The exam was just a formality for her. She controlled her scores, keeping each subject above 80 points but below 90 points, not particularly excellent, but absolutely not bad either.

  The atmosphere of the exam was very oppressive. For the ancient characters major, what's even more depressing is Deng Wen's disappearance.

  The school has strictly forbidden everyone from talking about this matter again, but although no one mentions it openly, they still discuss it secretly.

  The school found out about the mummy, and somehow, the news leaked out. Adding to that, a series of missing persons cases and murder cases kept happening in Chuan City, making the entire school feel anxious and fearful.

  These students, although they feel hard, still bear with it and take the exam. Everyone is looking forward to the winter vacation.

  Finish the exam early and leave this place of right and wrong in Chengdu. After two months, school will start again, and maybe everything will be clear by then.

  Of course, there is also a group of students who were born and raised in Chengdu. At this moment, they are worried because even though it's a holiday, they can't leave Chengdu!

  The last exam was over, and it was already late in the evening, but this did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm for going home.

  Lin Qingyao sat in her dormitory, staring blankly ahead of her. Beside her, Liu Ling was chattering nonstop about something.

  "Sister, I'm so bored..." said Liu Ling, propping up her own chin.

  "Boring......" Liu Ling grasped her own clothes and continued to say... These past few days, Lin Qingyao had been taking exams, and nothing interesting had happened in school either, making the lively and active Liu Ling feel a bit unbearable.

  Lin Qingyao beside Liu Ling seemed to have not noticed Liu Ling's actions, and was deep in thought, wondering why she had let out that beastly roar.

  Lin Qingyao felt that in her own body, there seemed to be something she didn't know about, as if a misty haze was blocking her line of sight, making it impossible for her to see things clearly.

  Last time, she suddenly changed and hurt Mu Shaoqing's divine consciousness. Although Mu Shaoqing's divine consciousness entered her mind, with herself as the host and him as the guest, having the upper hand, but Mu Shaoqing was a foundation-building cultivator! Wanting to know something in her mind wasn't easy, was it?

  This time, she actually let out another beastly roar...

  These two unusual events made Lin Qingyao unable to guess or see through them, without any clue.

  Lin Qingyao was leisurely and absent-minded, but in her heart, she suddenly began to doubt that she herself was no longer human...

  Lin Qingyao gazed at the ripples in the water, let out a sigh, and thought to herself that whether it was good fortune or bad luck, she couldn't avoid it, so she might as well focus on dealing with the present situation first. She temporarily suppressed the growing doubts in her heart.

  When she lifted her head again, her eyes were bright and clear, it was obvious that she had regained her composure and stopped thinking about it.

  "Sister! I'm really so bored!" Liu Ling emphasized.

  Lin Qingyao fell silent for a moment. Although Liu Ling's cultivation was higher than hers, in terms of temperament, she feared that neither of them could compare to Xiao Xiang's maturity.

  Liu Ling looked at Lin Qingyao with a pitiful expression, as if Lin Qingyao had done something to wrong her.

  Lin Qingyao sighed and began to pack up her things, saying to Liu Ling: "Sister, you also saw that, soon there will be no one left in the river, I'm going home... it's..."

  Lin Qingyao's implication was to let Liu Ling return from where he came from.

  Liu Ling wasn't stupid, but rather very clever, and immediately understood Lin Qingyao's intention: "Master sister, I'll follow you."

  Lin Qingyao looked at Liu Ling, feeling a bit of a headache, and said: "Sister, with this injury of yours, you shouldn't be affiliated with the Huaxia group either? Now that you've suffered such a severe injury, your family and sect must be worried. You should go back and rest for now."

  Since the university has already started its holiday, they don't have any necessity to stay here either.

  Lin Qingyao had some personal matters to attend to, and Liu Ling followed her, which was somewhat inconvenient.

  Liu Ling heard Lin Qingyao say this and seemed to remember something, saying to Lin Qingyao: "Junior sister, then I'll leave first, I'll come find you again in the future!"

  Lin Qingyao took a deep breath, she was really afraid that Liu Ling would be like Ji Qing, with a slippery character, but unexpectedly, Liu Ling's actions were so swift and decisive.

  After seeing off Liu Ling, Lin Qingyao began to think about her own affairs.

  Lin Qingyao wanted to go to the market once and use the Qi-replenishing pellets to exchange for some necessities.

  The battle with the blood clan made Lin Qingyao realize many problems, not to mention others, but her magic treasure, Fuyao Sword, was useless at critical moments, and this good magic treasure couldn't be realized in a short time.

  Fu Shou, Lin Qingyao felt that she should prepare more of these things, which could also turn the tide in critical moments.

  Of course, apart from this, there is the most important thing! That is, she needs Dan Fang, the alchemy formula for refining Xuxiandan! She can't think of going anywhere else to find it, so she wants to try her luck in the market.

  Her meridians were damaged. Now, the most effective method is to find the prescription for Xuxiandan and then search for spiritual medicine to refine Xuxiandan!

  Unfortunately, the inheritance of Yunmen is incomplete and unfortunately interrupted at Xuxi Dan, only with the introduction of this dan medicine, but without a specific dan formula.

  The streets of Chengdu are most lively in the evening.

  Those cultivators often choose to come to the town at this time.

  This was Lin Qingyao's third time coming to Fang City, and she had already become familiar with the route, so it was easy for her to enter the city.

  Lin Qingyao's footsteps stopped in front of a traditional Chinese medicine shop and she walked in casually.

  In the medicine shop, it was empty and desolate, with only two rows of things on display. The current market is scarce in good medicine, so this medicine shop has also become deserted.

  "Hey, sir! Please come in!" The shopkeeper was an old man with a goatee, who greeted Lin Qingyao warmly as she entered.
