Fang Xianhui briefly talked about the previous situation, as well as the evolution of the rumors, and finally said with a wry smile: "We just want to keep your whereabouts secret, so even if we heard everyone's discussions, we didn't refute the rumors, who knows that those people are more and more exaggerated." ”

"However, it's also because your popularity is too high, if there are no other people in the team, people won't be able to notice at all."

"For example, Zhou Hao and a few of them who really died in the trial, those people didn't even mention it."

Ling Jiuqiu also complained helplessly: "It's really popular, just one time without showing up, everyone can spread me to die in the wild, if any retreat is longer, will everyone say that I was divided by demon beasts again." ”

Fang Xianhui laughed, patted Ling Jiuqiu's shoulder, and said, "You deserve it, who made you so outstanding." ”

"Okay, don't say more, lest Fang Qingyi is still in a hurry there, you hurry over and appease her, I won't go over with you."

Fang Xianhui waved his hand and turned to leave.

After Ling Jiuqiu closed the door, he went to the gate of the academy, and as soon as he saw Fang Qingyi, he was hugged by the other party with excitement on his face.

"You're really okay, great!"

"I almost believed it when I heard so many people say that you are dead, I just heard Brother Xianhui say that you are still alive, I still have a trace of anxiety in my heart, and now when I see you, I am finally completely relieved!"

The warm fragrant nephrite is in her arms, and the beauty is sincere, even with her indifferent and selfish heart, she can't help but feel a wave in her heart at this time.

He simply hugged Fang Qingyi, patted the other party's back, and whispered a few words of reassurance, which calmed Fang Qingyi down.

Fang Qingyi, who came back to her senses, felt the big hand that Ling Jiuqiu put behind her back, as if she could feel Ling Jiuqiu's body temperature transmitted through her clothes, making her feel warm physically and mentally.

She let go of her hand with a blushing face, gently pushed it on Ling Jiuqiu's chest, left the warm embrace, and stood in front of Ling Jiuqiu a little helplessly, her eyes wandered around, and she said hesitantly:

"Seeing that you're okay, then I'm relieved, I suddenly remembered, it's still duty time, I'll go back first."

She was about to turn around and leave in a panic, but Ling Jiuqiu grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Wait."

Ling Jiuqiu stretched out her hand, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "Don't be deceived so easily next time, I won't die, no matter what happens, you just need to wait for me to come back with peace of mind." ”

Fang Qingyi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although she has no affair, she is not stupid, and she can naturally detect the hidden meaning in Ling Jiuqiu's words.

But she had already had affection for Ling Jiuqiu in her heart, and naturally she would not refuse such ambiguous words at this time, so she nodded, and a nasal voice came out of her mouth:

"Hmm."

"I have had a special situation recently, I'm afraid I can't go out casually, so don't come to me during this time, and when my matter is over, I will take the initiative to find you."

"Okay!"

Fang Qingyi nodded obediently.

After the two talked for a while, Fang Qingyi turned around and left.

Ling Jiuqiu returned to the dormitory to continue his cultivation.

At this time, Mentor Yu Yong had already handed over the head of the man in black to the vice presidents.

After some urgent communication, representatives of the Yanlong Martial Arts Academy and the Bafang Martial Arts Arena immediately joined forces to investigate the identity of the man in black.

In fact, the Yanlong Martial Arts Academy itself does not have an intelligence system, but behind them is the imperial court, and to some extent, they can be regarded as having the most powerful intelligence network in the entire Luo'an Kingdom.

Although the Bafang Martial Arts Arena is only a very single profit-making organization with a single nature, its strength is stronger than that of many top forces, and the intelligence network behind it is not bad at all.

The two sides joined forces to investigate the identity of an Innate Realm powerhouse, and it was not too difficult.

After all, every Innate Realm powerhouse is an existence known as a martial arts master, and he already has a great reputation, no matter where he is placed, he is by no means a nameless person.

It is no exaggeration to say that every Innate Realm Grandmaster has a legendary growth experience in the eyes of ordinary people, and will definitely leave a strong mark in this world.

As long as you are willing to spend time and energy, with the intelligence power of the imperial court and the Bafang Martial Arts Arena, there is a high probability that you will be able to investigate the identity of the man in black, and even find out the growth trajectory of the other party.

……

The other side.

Somewhere in a dimly lit room.

A burly man with a loyal appearance stood in the clearing, and reported respectfully:

“…… I fought on a par with Gao Jiadong, but Shi Bin was dead at that time, and the lineups of the two sides were equal, so Jiuqiu had already dodged again, and there was no possibility of completing the task, so I chose to retreat. ”

"I have no shirkable responsibility for the failure of this mission, and I ask the King of the Apocalypse to punish me!"

This burly man was the leader of the group of black-clothed men who attacked Ling Jiuqiu in the first place.

Not far in front of him, an elegant-looking middle-aged man sat cross-legged, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and his face was calm and indifferent.

After listening to the burly man's report, the middle-aged man just waved his hand casually and said, "Since the Yanlong Martial Arts Academy has ambushed people in advance, and it is also a strong man at the level of a vice president, it is understandable that the mission has failed, you can go down first." ”

The burly man leaned over and arched his hand, "Thank you for the grace of the Apocalypse King!" ”

After he stepped back, a smile appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man known as the King of the Apocalypse.

"Unexpectedly, although the first task was not completed, the second task went unexpectedly smoothly."

"It seems that there will be a good show soon."

……

Inside Tongyuan City.

After Ling Jiuqiu retreated for two or three days, he came to the Alchemist Association again and resumed his previous routine - cultivation and alchemy.

Although now with the double resources provided by the Eight Directions Martial Arts Arena, it was more than enough to maintain the most efficient cultivation at the moment, but for the sake of long-term consideration, Ling Jiuqiu never thought of giving up the path of alchemy.

After a full day of refining, Ling Jiuqiu successfully refined forty-four bottles of Qi and Blood Pill, during which he only failed once, and the overall refining power was as high as more than ninety percent.

According to the terms of his cooperation with the Thousand Crane Commercial Bank, the alchemy income on this day was as high as 3,960 silver.

After removing the cost of materials and the cost of Qi Nourishing Pill taken to restore True Qi during the alchemy period, the final net profit was as high as four hundred and forty silver.

With such a success rate and such a rate of return, it is definitely at the level of a mature alchemist.

Ling Jiuqiu didn't expect that in the half month after letting go of alchemy, his level would rise instead of falling, from a novice in alchemy to a mature alchemist.

After thinking about it, he figured it out.

He used to study persistently, spending a lot of energy to study, and the whole person seemed to be caught in the whirlpool of alchemy.

And after stopping alchemy, it was equivalent to jumping out of the whirlpool of alchemy, and when he looked back again, he found that he had stood in another angle and had a new understanding of alchemy.

At this stage, even if Ling Jiuqiu relied solely on alchemy, he could have quite a good earning power.
