Chapter 94: If I Let You Go to Beijing

Fortunately, Pei Chuyun reacted incredibly fast. Just as the sword energy emerged, her body had already retreated in a flash. The surrounding sword array did not manage to completely encircle her, allowing her to exploit a gap and escape outside the array.

A Hehuan flower bloomed quietly in front, and Zhang Shaoyou's sword energy struck it, causing a loud explosion. Pink smoke instantly diffused.

Zhang Shaoyou appeared in the field where the smoke was dispersing, but Pei Chuyun was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Shaoyou sensed for a bit and was extremely shocked: "How did she lose her aura? Can she run that fast?"

A Nuo sighed beside him: "Master said, even if Senior Sister Qingli's sword hits her back, she can still disappear instantly. She either has some escape secret method or a teleportation treasure."

Zhang Shaoyou felt a bit ashamed, cupped his hands, and said: "I'm ashamed, Miss Nuo, it's our inability. We'll disperse and chase now."

A Nuo blinked her eyes. Your attitude towards me is very strange, eh... why 'Miss'...

The Sect Master's adopted daughter, so she should be called 'Miss'? Is that the meaning?

It turns out everyone didn't say it out loud, but in their hearts, they already regarded Master as the Sect Master's husband. That serious pretense between Master and Master Wife in front of them was just a couple of clowns putting on a show...

"No need to chase." A Nuo shook her head: "They just touched the array, Master should know. He should be arranging things behind, and if done well, he can block her. If he can't block her, no one is to blame. If she really has a teleportation treasure that goes directly into the city, no one can do anything."

Zhang Shaoyou wanted to say 'stop,' that even so, everyone could still form a net and chase her, why is there no need?

"Grandpa Zhang, goodbye." A Nuo waved her hand and ran away like a wisp of smoke.

Of course, there was no need. What if Master was *sauce-sauce-brewing-brewing* with the little demon girl? It wouldn't be good if you all went to see it.

Lu Xingzhou did arrange things outside the mountain, but unfortunately, he also failed to block her. There was no *sauce-sauce-brewing-brewing*.

As the most promising genius seed of the Yaonü Hehuan Sect of this generation, the high-ranking members of the Hehuan Sect, regardless of what they truly thought, were unwilling for her to easily fall outside or be captured by someone. They indeed gave her the strongest life-saving treasure, a teleportation type. There are not many such treasures in the world.

"Swish!" In just an instant, Pei Chuyun suddenly appeared inside an inn in the middle of the city, panting heavily while holding onto the bed board. The Hehuan flower mist didn't completely block the sword energy; the overflowing sword energy still tore her ordinary girl's clothes into broken and rotten pieces, with revealing gaps everywhere.

Fortunately, the Hehuan flower mist could block vision, so no one could see...

"Yanluo Hall's Ghost Child, it must be her..." Pei Chuyun gritted her teeth: "Truly, like master, like disciple. Such a small child, how can she be so insidious!"

She had forgotten that, according to their debut time, A Nuo was properly her senior in the demonic path.

One can only say that A Nuo's round, slippery, and *nu ji ji* appearance is truly too deceptive. Looking at her face, you almost can't associate the evil title "Ghost Child" with her. Only after being tricked will you suddenly realize this is a senior!

Last time, she was still recuperating. After her injuries healed, she planned how to *yin* Lu Xingzhou. She wandered here for several days, but Lu Xingzhou stayed home as if in seclusion, hardly going out. It was very difficult to catch him alone.

The mountain also had illusion arrays that couldn't be broken, making it impossible to sneak up.

She waited for several days, and with great difficulty saw A Nuo go down the mountain to play in the city. Pei Chuyun followed her for an hour, then followed her up the mountain.

As a result, it was difficult to follow inside the maze. With one carelessness, A Nuo slipped away without a trace. She was left alone in the mountain, stunned, and lost her way...

Just as she was having a headache, she saw A Nuo run down again holding a gold ingot. Pei Chuyun then changed into a set of ordinary girl's clothes, also slightly changed her appearance, and tried to deceive the child into leading her up the mountain.

As a result, she was led into a trap. Not only did she fail to realize her idea of following to break the maze, but she also had to wait for the cooldown of the teleportation treasure, which was temporarily unusable.

The problem is that until now, Pei Chuyun still hasn't figured out where she revealed a flaw, and how the Ghost Child recognized her as an enemy. Even if she looked at her own portrait, her appearance and temperament had already changed.

"Must think of another method..." Pei Chuyun gritted her teeth: "I just don't believe it..."

Although she didn't break the maze, having followed A Nuo for so long, she still gained some experience to summarize. Pei Chuyun pulled out an array disk and started simulating, trying to ponder how to break the array.

Her array skills are also not low! With this experience, there's still an opportunity!

On that side, Lu Xingzhou and his group were surrounding the position where Pei Chuyun disappeared, observing the flow of aura.

Lu Xingzhou observed for a long time, slightly frowning: "Last time there was no opportunity to carefully ponder... This sudden burst and disappearance of spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy can hardly be found to flow in a direction, indeed didn't escape by direction, but a teleportation type treasure."

Shen Tang said: "Generally speaking, these treasures all have limits, they can't be used continuously. The next time they can be used will be at least three days later, or as long as ten days or so. The specifics depend on the distance moved."

"Even if the distance is short, going from this mountain to the middle of the city is not difficult. After all, this is just a suburban mountain, not too far." Lu Xingzhou pondered: "That is to say, if we want to catch this person, we must take advantage of the gap when her treasure is temporarily unusable, otherwise, no matter how many times we catch her, it's useless."

Everyone nodded; that was the reasoning. But if they couldn't find the demon girl's trace, how could they catch her?

She alone might not be as many people as in the initial Fenxiang Tower incident. If she wants to hide alone, it might truly be too easy. Now the Xiazhou city master and Town Demon Division commander are no longer Sheng Yuanyao, so it's not too realistic to ask the officials to help with this matter.

Lu Xingzhou asked A Nuo: "A Nuo, how did you recognize her?"

"I didn't recognize her at first," A Nuo squatted beside him eating candy: "Her simple, harmless ordinary girl appearance was truly very convincing, and being anxious about her mother's illness was also very touching... I just invited her to drink some spiritual spring stream water. If an ordinary eighth or ninth grade cultivator from Xiazhou suddenly drinks this dense spiritual energy stream water, they will feel like they are drunk on oxygen. She drank large mouthfuls, large mouthfuls. At a glance, you can tell she often drinks it."

Lu Xingzhou laughed: "Then for her to pretend to be anxious and thirsty to deceive A Nuo, the price paid might be too high..."

A Nuo giggled: "It might not be high, she even drank the thing that Master washed off Master Wife's feet..."

Shen Tang: "?"

Lu Xingzhou: "......"

Oh no, the first person to be injected with that thing was Pei Chuyun.

Zhang Shaoyou looked up at the sky.

Your Master can even help the Sect Master wash his feet? Then at the grand ceremony, he still pretended to 'consult with Elder Lu on matters,' consulted on how to wash feet?

Lu Xingzhou awkwardly changed the subject: "Since she wants to take revenge on me, why don't we design a plan where I use myself as bait to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Shen Tang immediately opposed: "No, it's too dangerous. She is a fourth-grade cultivator. If she attacks suddenly, and we are far away, we fundamentally won't be able to rescue you in time."

"There is no reason to defend against a thief for a thousand days. Could it be that I won't be able to go out alone in the future? I always have to bear some risks. Let's try to solve this matter first," Lu Xingzhou thought for a bit and laughed: "Her attitude doesn't seem like the kind that wants to kill me and then be done with it. Otherwise, she wouldn't always act alone. According to the convention of the Yaonü Hehuan Sect, I estimate she wants me to bow down under her pomegranate skirt..."

Shen Tang immediately exploded: "How dare she!"

Lu Xingzhou stroked her hair, like smoothing a cat's ruffled fur: "Tomorrow morning, I will go pay a New Year's visit to Division Master Chen. You all arrange a comprehensive net in advance and see if she will fall into it."

In the past few months, Lu Xingzhou had often visited Chen Jinnian, the Division Master of the Dan Medicine Division.

In this broken place of Xiazhou, there weren't many people he could truly respect. After Sheng Yuanyao left, Chen Jinnian was probably the only one. The old man was extremely experienced and often made Lu Xingzhou feel that the grade of pill refining couldn't represent everything.

Just like he was actually a sixth-grade Dan Master now, theoretically on the same level as Chen Jinnian, but when the two discussed medical theory, pharmacology, and knowledge of difficult illnesses, Lu Xingzhou still felt he was completely outmatched by Chen Jinnian.

So, from time to time, he would go exchange and seek advice, feeling quite benefited.

If his future Dan skills could reach fifth grade, the exchanges with Chen Jinnian these days would be indispensable.

In fact, Chen Jinnian also had a similar view. Experience also seemed not to represent everything. Lu Xingzhou, having obtained Maha's pill refining notes, learned more and more wonderfully. He was also very intelligent and could draw inferences, often proposing viewpoints that he hadn't considered, which were quite inspiring. The two could be considered both teachers and friends, getting along very well.

Since they wanted to pay a New Year's visit, of course, such a good teacher and friend should be visited.

However, this time they wanted to fish, so he didn't let A Nuo push his wheelchair, but rowed it himself.

Chen Jinnian was also very happy to see Lu Xingzhou come to visit and welcomed him into his home courtyard: "Xingzhou, you haven't come for some days, have you?"

"I was practicing a few days ago." Lu Xingzhou carried a jug of wine to the old man: "This is made with the spiritual spring from my mountain. Drinking it is quite beneficial. However, this is new wine, so the taste might not be mellow enough."

"Ha, Xingzhou also understands wine? You can even brew it yourself!" Chen Jinnian was very happy and quickly instructed a servant: "Go bury this wine under the tree in the backyard. It will be a treasure in a few years. Also, dig up the old wine I buried before. We'll entertain guests today!"

"Hey, hey, don't dig up the wine. I just came to pay a New Year's visit," Lu Xingzhou laughed: "And also conveniently ask, Division Master Chen, the Dan medicine you were pondering before... has there been any progress?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinnian was quite pleased and said: "You were right before, there's no need to struggle to get that Dan from the Huo family. Taking its medical theory and concocting one's own Dan medicine is the proper way. This old man has been pondering a formula these past few days, you can take a look."

Lu Xingzhou took the formula and pondered for a moment, his heart slightly moved: "Good Dan."

If that Dan from the Huo family was considered a somewhat meaningful "immortal Dan" that could bring people back to life, that meaning was too vague. At least at everyone's current level, it was impossible to pursue. And in reality, human illnesses and injuries are varied; it's not very possible for one Dan to solve everything.

Perhaps he, Lu Xingzhou, had given too high expectations to that Dan from the Huo family. For example, that Dan before, even if it could save a dying person, it's really not certain it could restore Lu Xingzhou's leg that had been deformed for so many years at that time. One can only say it was a beautiful wish, which upon closer thought is not realistic.

If one were to focus on one aspect and research it thoroughly, creating medicine specifically aimed at a certain injury, it might be more reasonable.

The Dan formula that Chen Jinnian has now, if refined, should be able to "quickly save the heart." If the heart suddenly stops, whether due to illness or being hit, as long as the heart is not severely damaged, this Dan medicine should be able to pull a person back from the brink of death. The effect might be hundreds of times stronger than modern quick-acting heart-saving pills, and it can be considered a targeted Dan formula with boundless merit.

These people who truly have ambitions in medical research, and those like Fenxiang Tower or Lu Xingzhou who refine Dan only for cultivation, indeed consider things from different angles.

Lu Xingzhou sighed deeply and bowed: "With this Dan released, Division Master Chen's merit is boundless."

"Still need to thank Xingzhou for providing reference opinions," Chen Jinnian was very happy: "Xingzhou also thinks this formula is fine?"

"It can certainly be done," Lu Xingzhou said with certainty: "With this Dan refined, Division Master Chen should also rise to fifth grade and can be promoted to the prefecture?"

"It should be possible," Chen Jinnian stroked his beard and laughed: "Speaking of this, I also have something to ask you... I told you before to advance to the prefecture, and you didn't seem very interested. I now also feel that perhaps there is no one in the prefecture who is truly qualified enough to teach you. But if the prefecture has a quota to recommend advancement to the Capital Dan Academy, what do you think?"

Lu Xingzhou's heart moved, and he was lost in thought.
