Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Thousand-Year Qingmu Heart (First Update)
Bian Qingmu slowly opened her eyes, a formidable aura emanating from her.
Indeed, she was at the Loose Immortal Peak cultivation level!
Bian Hua took a step forward, asking with concern, “Sister Qingmu, how do you feel?”
Bian Qingmu nodded, “This Spirit Pill is truly extraordinary; not only are my injuries healed, but my cultivation level has also returned to its previous state!”
Bian Hua let out a sigh of relief, then excitedly said, “I told you the Immortal Master’s Spirit Pill would be miraculous!”
A complex expression flashed through Bian Qingmu’s eyes.
What was the background of that mysterious man?
Why did he possess such a wondrous Spirit Pill?
It is known that in the Immortal Realm of Kunlun, aside from those great Sects, few can concoct Spirit Pills!
This made Spirit Pills extremely precious.
Even the Spiritual Medicine that Bian Hua had brought back this time, if Xue An hadn’t appeared, Bian Qingmu had intended to swallow it directly!
In that case, naturally, much of the medicinal efficacy would have been lost.
“Where… is he staying right now?” Bian Qingmu asked.
“I’ve had the Immortal Master stay at my place for now!”
Bian Qingmu nodded, then suddenly said, “Go fetch a piece of Thousand-Year Qingmu Heart!”
Bian Hua was taken aback, “Sister Qingmu, you…”
Bian Qingmu said, “This Spirit Pill is too precious. I do not like to owe favors. Giving him a piece of Thousand-Year Qingmu Heart should settle our debt!”
“Alright!”
Bian Hua was just about to leave.
“Wait!” After a moment of contemplation, Bian Qingmu said, “I’ll deliver it myself.”
When Bian Qingmu arrived in front of Bian Hua’s residence, she saw Xue An busily working in the courtyard.
Bian Tian was squatting on the side, drooling as he watched.
On the ground, a bonfire burned with several pine chickens skewered on branches being roasted above it. Xue An was flipping the chickens, sprinkling them evenly with seasoning.
An appetizing fragrance wafted through the air, making one’s mouth water at the scent.
“This is…” Bian Qingmu was somewhat taken aback.
Xue An looked up and gave Bian Qingmu a faint smile, “You’ve arrived just in time; they’re almost ready!”
It was then that Bian Qingmu suddenly noticed that the branches burning on the ground were actually light green in color.
Bian Qingmu fell silent for a moment before she angrily exclaimed, “Are you actually using branches from the Divine Tree to make a fire?”
Xue An replied indifferently, “What’s wrong? Do you have a problem? Besides, I must say, the branches here are truly exceptional; they release a unique fragrance when burned!”
Bian Qingmu was on the verge of exploding!
The very reason why Qingmu Town was named thus was due to the ancient Divine Tree at its center, which had grown for an indeterminate length of time!
Yuanzhou City coveted Qingmu Town precisely because the tree produced a remarkably precious item each year!
That was the Thousand-Year Qingmu Heart that Bian Qingmu brought and planned to give to Xue An!
Yet, to her disbelief, Xue An had the audacity to chop branches and leaves from the Divine Tree for a barbecue!
For the people of Qingmu Town, this was tantamount to a sacrilege against the divine!
Xue An didn’t care about that. Seeing that the pine chickens were almost done, he picked one up and handed it to Bian Tian.
“Try it!”
Bian Tian could hardly wait. She tore off a strip of chicken meat, not minding the heat, and swallowed it directly.
Hisss!
The heat made her grimace in pain, but she was too reluctant to spit it out!
Xue An smiled, perhaps because he had a daughter himself, so he was very patient with these young girls and liked them a lot!
“Do you want some?” Xue An asked Bian Qingmu, who had a gloomy face.
Bian Qingmu let out an annoyed hum and placed a piece of wood that emitted a green glow on the table before turning to leave.
When she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she spoke in a deep voice, “Tomorrow, head to Yuanzhou City first! The first round of selection will be held there!”
“No problem!” Xue An said, munching on a pine chicken.
Bian Qingmu paused, then added, “This trip to Yuanzhou City definitely won’t be that smooth, so I hope you won’t be too arrogant when the time comes. After all, Xuanyuan Sect is one of the leading sects within a thousand miles!”
Xue An smiled lightly, “As long as they don’t come looking for me, I couldn’t care less about them!”
After Bian Qingmu left, Xue An handed a chicken to Bian Hua, “Try this, it’s tasty!”
Bian Hua greedily swallowed his saliva but was in a dilemma as he feared Bian Qingmu would be angry if she found out.
Xue An winked, “The food cooked with the Divine Tree can enhance one’s cultivation level a bit!”
Upon hearing this, Bian Hua immediately grabbed a pine chicken and devoured it hungrily.
After a bite of chicken, he exclaimed in surprise, “It’s true!”
Xue An smiled. The reason for this sensation was entirely because he had used his cultivation level to control the cooking time!
No helping it, a Loose Immortal is just that capricious!
Thinking of this, Xue An picked up the piece of green wood heart.
Essentially, this was nothing more than the essence of wood accumulated by a Divine Tree over ten thousand years. It was of no use to Xue An but he thought it could be taken back for his two little girls to play with!
If Bian Qingmu knew that her treasured Qingmu Heart, which drew covetous gazes from many, was seen by Xue An as nothing more than a child’s toy, who knows what she would think.
……
Yuanzhou City!
A town under the main city of Jizhou in the eastern part of Kunlun, and where Xuanyuan Sect was located.
The approaching martial arts trial had made Yuanzhou City bustling with activity.
By the time Xue An and Bian Qingmu arrived, the small city was already overcrowded.
There were not only participants of the trial but also many citizens there to watch the excitement.
In the Immortal Realm of Kunlun, the Spiritual Energy was rich and even ordinary citizens were very robust, and reaching the Zhenren Realm had become quite common.
This was evident from the time they went to collect their trial badges, as the guards of the venue were all in the Zhenren Realm.
Bian Tian and Bian Hua, the siblings, had come along as well. This was their first time participating in the martial arts trial, so they were both full of excitement.
Just then, an annoying voice came from behind.
“Heh, people from Qingmu Town even dare to come?”
Upon hearing this voice, Bian Qingmu and the others turned their heads and saw a haughty man walking over.
As soon as she saw this man, Bian Qingmu’s face turned extremely sour.
“Chu Xingze!”
The newcomer was Xuanyuan Sect’s inner disciple and one whom Sha’er valued greatly, Chu Xingze!
Chu Xingze smiled sinisterly, greedily staring at Bian Qingmu before speaking, “I heard that you people from Qingmu Town even dared to kill a messenger from our Xuanyuan Sect. What, do you think your cultivation is decent and want to compete with our Xuanyuan Sect?”
Bian Qingmu clenched her teeth and remained silent.
Because Chu Xingze was slightly more powerful than her!
She was at the peak of Loose Immortal while Chu Xingze was at Half-step Longevity!
“Chu Xingze, the martial arts trial hasn’t begun yet. Are you planning to start a fight in the streets right now?” Bian Qingmu said coldly.
“Heh, I don’t have any intention to start a fight, but during the martial arts trial, I will let you know the consequence of offending Xuanyuan Sect,” Chu Xingze said coldly.
At that moment, an indifferent voice chimed in, “Need my help? I also find him quite annoying, I could help you kill him for free!”
