“Sen-…Sovereign Qingyan.” ng Qi almost blurted out ‘senior,’ but she suddenly rembered that the man disliked being called so and quickly changed the address in ti.
ng Qi didn’t expect to see Yun Qingyan again so soon. She raised her head slightly and stared without blinking at the white-robed man in front of her. His face was still flawlessly handso. A small ebony headdress tied up his hair. There was a faint smile in his eyes, which made his expression much gentler than usual.
Sohow, this person was not like Yun Qingyan that ng Qi saw that day when he called her over and taught her about arrays. Today, he was more like the gentle person whom she was with in her previous life. In her mory, Yun Qingyan had always been her most respected person, the one she regarded as her Master and also the one who treated her the best in the world.
ng Qi’s head was dizzy. For a split mont, she seed to forget where she was now and what she was supposed to be doing. She just stood there in a daze, staring at Yun Qingyan.
Until the man stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes: “Have seen enough?” There was a hint of laughter in his deep voice.
ng Qi’s face suddenly beca hot. She slowly turned her gaze away in reluctance. “Sovereign Qingyan, are you alright?” She rembered that the man seed to be not in his best health whenever they had contact before.
“Yes.” Yun Qingyan nodded, “Thank you for your concern. I’m alright.”
“It’s good.” ng Qi lowered her eyes again. When she saw Yun Qingyan turned around and began to walk, she hurriedly followed behind, maintaining a few steps of distance. Yun Qingyan always liked wearing white robes, and most of his clothes had very simple designs without any frills or extra decorations. ng Qi’s gaze fixed on the plain hem of the simple-looking white robe, watching it slowly flutter with the man’s steps. Even this small gesture gave her a great sense of security.
ng Qi followed Yun Qingyan. She even forgot to ask why the man suddenly appeared here, let alone to ask where he was taking her to. Not long after, they arrived by a river, crossed a small bamboo bridge, and then turned at an intersection. After walking along a low mountain path for a while, Yun Qingyan suddenly stopped and stepped aside.
ng Qi glanced at him, then started forward to find that they had arrived in front of a valley. At the valley’s entrance were apricot trees in full bloom. ng Qi took a deep breath. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and subconsciously walked towards the valley.
The valley was not particularly wide, but there were four bamboo houses inside. The bamboo houses were built open, and she could see the inside of the houses from the open doors and windows. In front of the bamboo houses, a dicinal field was built at the foot of the mountain. The field was divided into many different pieces, and in total, had twenty to thirty kinds of dicinal plants planted. So of the plants were in full bloom; their flowers were beautiful and lovely.
Even without approaching the field, ng Qi could tell the nas of the plants growing there with her eyes closed. The dicinal field was originally built by her. Most of the plants were transplanted here by her own hands, carefully cared for, and finally survived because of the abundant spiritual aura in this valley.
That’s right.
At first glance, ng Qi already felt the abundance of spiritual aura in this place. So abundant, in fact, that the aura seed to almost manifest into a substance. Cultivating in this valley could get twice the result with half the effort. Even soone with a poor aptitude like her could greatly improve the speed of her cultivation.
“Here…” ng Qi murmured. Her eyes swept across the overly familiar place. Among the four bamboo houses, one was specially prepared for her to refine dicine. Even more, this place also had a spiritual spring, right on the back of the mountain top. The spring water there was naturally imbued with a spiritual aura, which gave a trendous boost when used to refine dicine.
In ng Qi’s previous life, she lived in this valley intermittently for almost three years. It was here that she learned about Lihuo Great Fire Array, Star Array, and Four Poles Great Array. It was also here that she, together with Yun Qingyan, enthusiastically conducted the research about the process of imbuing spells into refined pills, which greatly improved the pills’ original effect.
ng Qi closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the scenery before her eyes remained the sa. The rims of her eyes turned red. She desperately blinked her eyes a few tis, trying hard to not lose her emotion in front of Yun Qingyan.
“Sovereign Qingyan.” ng Qi turned her head toward Yun Qingyan, who stood silently on the side. Her lips trembled. “This place…”
“You don’t like this place?” Yun Qingyan smiled softly and walked into the valley. He leisurely went to the bamboo house on the far left, where he used to live before. “ng Qi.” Yun Qingyan said gently. “You have worked hard these few days. You must be tired. Take a good rest.” After speaking, he entered the house and closed the door with a flick of his sleeve.
“Yes.” ng Qi replied in a low voice. She looked at the closed door with so reluctance before turning around and going to the bamboo house next to Yun Qingyan’s.
