My System Is Three Thousand Years Early Chapter 288: Chapter 101 Red Robe No Longer Wants to Tend th

"But it doesn't matter anymore, Master disappeared without a trace and has yet to return; now only Red Robe remains by my side," he said. "Brother, do whatever you want."

As he spoke, the Red Robe Daoist waved his hand, releasing a mysterious and slightly decaying aura from his palm, which gently shook the ropes binding everyone.

"Brother, which mortal do you want for refining pills?"

The Red Robe Daoist, with eyes gleaming like ghost flas, looked towards Cheng Guang.

Feeling intimidated under the Red Robe Daoist's gaze, Cheng Guang managed a stiff smile and pointed at Qin Yanqiu.

"That one."

For now, he had to rescue Qin Yanqiu.

He couldn't be concerned with the life or death of the others.

Though the Red Robe Daoist had agreed to let him take a few mortals out, that didn't an he placed no value on these mortals.

Everyone here was potential fuel for his future needs; he couldn't allow Cheng Guang to take people away indiscriminately.

If possible, he would rescue a few more later, but if not, then let it be.

Acknowledging Cheng Guang's choice, the Red Robe Daoist nodded slightly, gesturing with his hand. The ropes around Qin Yanqiu unwound like a delicate serpent, coming to life as they loosened their hold.

Qin Yanqiu fell to the ground weakly, landing in front of Cheng Guang.

Her stunning face was slightly pale, her expression still in a panic, as she gasped for air.

Qin Yanqiu cald her breathing and, looking up at Cheng Guang, her cold eyes showed a hint of gratitude.

Cheng Guang simply glanced at Qin Yanqiu briefly before withdrawing his gaze.

The Red Robe Daoist then looked at Cheng Guang again, asking, "Brother, do you need anyone else?"

The mont these words were spoken...

Excitent filled the expressions of so people in the hall.

Although many had heard the terrifying term "refining Human Pill" from the Red Robe Daoist, they now saw Qin Yanqiu's expression and felt that Cheng Guang, whom she knew, was not like the Red Robe Daoist.

Their eyes turned to Cheng Guang, pleading for rescue.

Cheng Guang, however, ignored these desperate looks from the hall and turned to Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan.

His gaze inquiring whether there were any mbers of the Northern Expedition Army here.

If there were, he could try to save them as well.

Just a brief exchange of looks was enough for Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan to understand Cheng Guang's intention and shake his head slightly.

Cheng Guang was slightly startled. Was Qin Yanqiu the only one to be drag into the Secret Realm alone?

Or had all the soldiers following her already t with disaster?

Several thoughts flashed through Cheng Guang's mind, but he did not dwell on them and smiled back at the Red Robe Daoist, "It's fine, just this one person is enough."

The Red Robe Daoist nodded slightly, "Alright then."

With that, he led Cheng Guang out of the side room.

The door to the side room closed tight once again.

Quietness returned to the hall.

The Red Robe Daoist walked in front, chatting idly with Cheng Guang, almost like a chatterbox.

"Brother, these mortals are quite weak, not worth ntioning compared to us back in the day, but they are still much stronger than the mortals of the past."

"Using these mortals as fuel, the Pill Furnace can burn for a long ti."

"If you use these mortals to refine the Human Pill, the effects should be quite good."

"But then again, Brother, if you want to practice alchemy, I'm afraid you can't use the Pill Furnace I've heated up. It's only for Master's use, did you bring your own Pill Furnace back with you?"

At this point, the Red Robe Daoist turned his gaze to Cheng Guang.

After pondering for a mont, Cheng Guang replied, "Not yet, I will have to go out and fetch it later."

The Red Robe Daoist nodded slightly and sighed, "Red Robe cannot leave this place, otherwise I could have accompanied you, Brother."

"Brother, where did you disappear to all these years, along with Master? You didn't take Red Robe with you. It's really lonely here by myself."

"Brother, when you go to fetch the Pill Furnace, make sure to co back."

Hearing this, Cheng Guang did not know what to say and chose not to respond.

At the sa ti, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, quietly checked Qin Yanqiu's condition, noticing that aside from drained Qi, she was unhard, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

After confirming Qin Yanqiu was fine, he indeed felt like leaving with Cheng Guang and Qin Yanqiu.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan did not need to

signal it; Cheng Guang also felt the need to leave.

But before leaving, Cheng Guang still couldn't let go of the Nine-Turn Golden Pills contained in the gourds hanging from the pillars in the Pill Furnace hall.

According to the system mission hint, the Douluo Palace's Secret Realm would only appear once in a short period, and after this occurrence, it was uncertain when it would appear next.

For now, the Red Robe Daoist seed to have a favorable impression of him and was not planning to attack him.

Cheng Guang decided to take a chance; maybe he could turn 'a bicycle into a motorcycle'.

When they reached the Pill Furnace hall, Cheng Guang paused his steps and looked at the Mysterious Jade Gourd hanging on the pillar. Even from a distance, he could sll the faint fragrance wafting from the gourd.

Streaks of pale golden light shone through the surface of the Mysterious Jade Gourd and into Cheng Guang's eyes.

Moved by the sight, Cheng Guang asked, "Can the pills in these gourds still be used?"

When the Red Robe Daoist heard Cheng Guang's words, he stopped and turned his gaze to the Mysterious Jade Gourd hanging on the pillar, laughing, "What are you talking about, Brother? You must not recognize them anymore after being away for so long; these are not just any pills."
