Chapter 39: Blood Saffron
Rui Qing walked back along the same road with a lot of thoughts along the way, thinking about how to explain to her parents about the opportunity she had obtained tonight, and how to explain to others the reason why she left suddenly in the middle of the night.
During the time that Rui Qing left, the atmosphere in the place where they were temporarily stationed before was tense, except for Jingru and Qingxu's mother and daughter who stayed where they were and waited for Rui Qing's return, Rui Dagui and Tongfan were divided into two ways, almost turning over the ten miles around their station.
While searching for Rui Qing's traces with his divine sense, Tong Fan impatiently transmitted the message to Zhou Lao, worried that something would happen to Rui Qing, just when Tong Fan was about to go west to continue the search, Zhou Lao's voice came from his ears:
"Tong boy, that little girl from the Rui family is seven or eight miles east of you, and she is now rushing in the direction where you are, go over and join her!"
After listening to Zhou Lao's transmission, Tong Fan made sure that Rui Qing had nothing to do, and settled down in his heart, flew quickly in the direction of Zhou Lao's prompt, and replied gratefully:
"Thank you for the reminder, thank you for your hard work!"
After Zhou Lao snorted coldly, he didn't bother to take care of Tongfan, and rested and recuperated by himself. Tong Fan knew that this matter must have made Zhou Lao suspicious, but he was helpless, compared with Rui Qing's possible distress, it was insignificant to let Zhou Lao know his thoughts, and this matter made Tong Fan more clear about his intentions for Rui Qing.
After Tongfan flew fast for two quarters of an hour, he met Rui Qing who was worried in a quiet valley, and Rui Qing, who was full of worries, almost collided with Tongfan who came in a hurry, but fortunately, Tongfan reacted in time to avoid embarrassing things.
Rui Qing, who reacted, said to Tong Fan with some apologies:
"I'm sorry, I almost bumped into you, why are you coming out so late? You can't come out to find me, right?"
Tong Fan quietly stared at Rui Qing with an apologetic face, the girl's clear and bright eyes were full of worry, Tong Fan's young heart was beating sharply under such a simple light, fortunately under the cover of the night, he didn't let Rui Qing see his red cheeks, Tong Fan coughed twice, only to suppress his excitement, and said calmly:
"You suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night, everyone is very worried, your father and I went out to look for you, Aunt Jing and the three of them are still waiting for you in the same place. Now that you're safe, let's go back and save them from worrying. β
Rui Qing didn't expect that she had just disappeared for a while, which caused such a big wave, and when she thought that she might have to lie to everyone later, Rui Qing was even more uneasy, and Rui Qing replied stupidly:
"I'm sorry to worry you! I didn't mean to disappear like this, I did leave on the spot. β
Just as Rui Qing was about to continue, Hongqi's weak voice came from his ears:
"Child, you can't tell him the real reason, just say that when you ran away today, you found a precious blood red flower, and you just left to confirm it again. β
It turned out that near a waterhole adjacent to Hongqi Cave Mansion, there was indeed a blood red flower growing close to two thousand, and Rui Qing and the others happened to pass by the location where this blood red flower grew when they escaped today.
After Rui Qing listened to Hongqi's words, she immediately knew how to explain to everyone the reason why she suddenly left so long late at night.
After Tong Fan saw Rui Qing wanting to speak like this, he guessed that she might have something unspeakable that she couldn't tell others, and after sending a transmission note to Rui Dagui to tell Rui Qing that it was okay, and asked him to rush back to the garrison immediately, he carefully enlightened:
"It's good that you're okay, let's let your parents know before you leave next time!"
Rui Qing saw that Tongfan did not plan to continue to delve into it, and she was also very moved, and the two of them hurried back without saying a word.
When the two of them rushed back to the temporary camp, they saw Rui Dagui and his wife and Qingxu's mother and daughter who were looking forward to it, as soon as Jingru saw Rui Qing coming back, she rushed to her, hugged her daughter tightly, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Qing'er, where did you run away at night? Do you know how scary it is for you to disappear like this? You're not hurt, are you?"
Jingru carefully looked at Rui Qing's whole body with her eyes, and only after making sure that her daughter was indeed okay did she feel a little calmer, Rui Qing felt her mother's panic and worry, and waited until her emotions calmed down before she explained:
"Mother, father, Aunt Qing, and Ah Chen, I'm sorry for worrying you! I promise that I will never disappear like this in the future!"
Rui Dagui and the others knew that Rui Qing's personality was not such a frizzy person, and knew that there must be an important reason for her to leave so suddenly, so they quietly waited for Rui Qing to continue to explain, after Rui Qing saw everyone's expressions, she naturally knew that she had to say a reasonable enough explanation, otherwise everyone would not let themselves go easily tonight, at this time, even Zhou Lao, who was hiding in Tongfan's hairpin, was curious, the reason why Rui Qing left suddenly in the middle of the night, although everyone had little contact, but they also knew that Rui Qing had always taken care of the overall situation, and would never make such a reckless action as tonightγ
Rui Qing relayed the words of Hongqi to everyone in a calm tone, including the specific location of the blood saffron that was nearly two thousand years old, everyone heard that Rui Qing was actually on the run, and he could observe the environment so carefully and found such a precious elixir, they were all excited, among which Zhou Lao was the most excited, Rui Qing had just finished explaining, and he impatiently transmitted Tong Fandao:
"Tong boy, your vision is really good! I didn't expect this little girl of the Rui family to have such a chance against the sky, and she met the holy product in the medicine that can repair the soul - blood saffron, and it is also a two-thousand-year-old elixir, after getting this thing, my soul has a ninety percent chance of being cured. β
Tong Fan naturally understood Zhou Lao's excited mood at the moment, how could he not be like this, but this blood saffron was Rui Qing's chance, and what qualifications did he have to ask for it to belong to him after getting it, and said with some uncertainty:
"Old Zhou, don't get excited! This blood saffron was discovered by Rui Qing, and now everyone knows the location, plus the blood saffron's guardian spirit beast combat power is bound to be strong, everyone must cooperate together to successfully win the blood saffron. In the end, everyone must want to get this blood saffron, so let's wait and see what happens!"
Zhou Lao has always been sophisticated and sleek, how could he not understand that Tong Fan didn't want to compete with the three members of the Rui family for treasures, but this time the blood saffron was too important to him, so he had to pierce the window paper and said directly:
"Tong boy, you don't have to hide it, I know your thoughts about the little girl of the Rui family, as long as you succeed in winning the blood saffron for me, even if I succeed in winning the house in the future, I will never betray and hurt you and the three members of the Rui family, how about it?"
Tong Fan knew that this was the biggest concession that Zhou Lao could do, and immediately promised:
"With Zhou Lao's words, Tong Fan should go all out to win the blood saffron, and never live up to Zhou Lao's trust!"
Just when everyone was in high spirits and had their own thoughts, only one person stared at Rui Qing calmly, Rui Dagui knew that his daughter had always been filial, and he would never let his husband and wife worry alone for the sake of a mere elixir, at least she would be informed before she left, and now hearing Rui Qing's words, it can only prove that her sudden departure tonight must be very important.
Rui Qing naturally felt her father's scrutinizing eyes, so she had to hold it down for the time being, and then explain it to her parents when she had a suitable opportunity in the future.
After Rui Qing saw everyone's reaction for a while, they discussed together how to go to pick the elixir and how to distribute the elixir in the end, and then set off together, and the direction of the trip happened to be near the place where the Hongqi Cave Mansion was located.
Rui Qing led everyone to the location of the waterhole where the blood saffron was located, and everyone had the best invisibility talisman prepared in advance, and the closer they got to the waterhole, the stronger the fragrance of the pure heart medicine in the air.
The crowd stopped near the vicinity of the Saffron and hid behind a huge rock on the edge of the waterhole to observe the situation around the Saffron, and after three hours, everyone was a little restless when they saw that everything was silent and seemed to be in no danger.
However, Rui Dagui felt that the more this was the case, the more dangerous it was here, and Tong Fan also felt creepy, Qingxu's mother and daughter had never seen such an elixir for more than a thousand years, and they couldn't restrain their excitement at this moment.
Qingchen saw that the rest of the people were unwavering, and felt that there should be no big problem here, so she quietly moved a few steps to the side, and when she wanted to go further, the road on the side of the pond was slippery, and she accidentally fell on a big horse, and instantly exposed everyone's traces.
Before everyone could pull Qingchen back, they heard a beast roar with a sonic attack, and suddenly everyone was in a state of spirit, and Qing Xu and Jingru, who were low in cultivation, were even shocked to the point of ear and nose bleeding.
When Rui Qing saw this, she immediately took out a few special cotton balls from the storage bag and handed them to everyone.
It turned out that as early as on the way to this waterhole, Rui Qing knew in advance that the guardian spirit beast here was a rock beast cultivated in the middle of the first and third order, which was equivalent to the mid-stage cultivation of Jindan cultivated by humans, and was best at sound wave attacks, and hidden figures, generally unless it took the initiative to attack, ordinary people could not identify it at all, and when it lay still, it was no different from an ordinary stone.
Rui Qing had indeed used his divine sense to carefully investigate all the rocks near the blood saffron, but he didn't find anything unusual, if it weren't for Qingchen's sudden exposure of his body and the attack of the rock beast, Rui Qing really couldn't find any trace of the rock beast.
The sonic attack of the rock beast did catch everyone off guard, but when everyone's ears were caught by Rui Qing's special cotton ball prepared in advance, this sonic attack could no longer cause much damage to everyone.
Rui Dagui first set up a high-level Liangyi Bagua Array near the Blood Saffron to protect it, and then attacked the Rock Beast with everyone.
It's just that this rock beast is true to its name, and its whole body is extremely hard, and everyone's swords can't leave any traces on it, and everyone's attacks seem to tickle the rock beast.
The huge body of the rock beast swayed back and forth, constantly hitting the people nearby, and after a while, Jingru and Qingxu, mother and daughter, were seriously injured by the rock beast and lay next to it unconscious.
After Rui Qing got Hongqi's prompt and knew that the rock beast's lifeline was its short tail, he sent a message to Rui Dagui and Tongfan, asking them to attack directly in front of them to attract the attention of the rock beast, while he moved his mind and summoned the spirit rhino sword, directly using his strongest killing move to attack the tail of the rock beast.
The powerful power of thunder and lightning combined with the powerful sword qi instantly severed the rock beast's negligible short tail, and in an instant, a large amount of blood shot out sharply from the broken tail of the rock beast, and the rock beast's eyes were immediately blood-red, and it actually launched a madness immediately.
The speed multiplied the rock beast, and it crashed into Rui Qing quickly, and its huge body instantly knocked Rui Qing to the cliff opposite the waterhole, and the powerful impact force actually completely embedded Rui Qing's body into the cliff rock, if it weren't for Rui Qing's refining body, it was estimated that he would die on the spot.
After Rui Dagui and Tong Fan saw Rui Qing's tragic situation, they immediately attacked the rock beast like crazy, and Tong Fan even took his newly acquired broken immortal weapon, the Soul Breaking Dagger, directly into his hands, and no longer cared about what kind of disaster he would bring to himself after leaking this thing.
Sure enough, after Tong Fan took out the Soul Breaking Dagger, the seriously injured rock beast seemed to feel a threat to his life, and immediately fled in all directions trembling, intending to flee directly.
But how could Tong Fan let it get his wish, the Soul Breaker Dagger in his hand seemed to have eyes, and directly sank into the ugly head of the rock beast, the rock beast fell to the ground in an instant, all the noise of the fight stopped, and the sound of rushing water could be heard around the pool.
At the moment when the rock beast fell, Rui Dagui flew directly to the opposite cliff, brought Rui Qing, who was seriously injured and unconscious, back to the place where Jingru and the three of them were lying, and quickly fed the four of them the best healing pill, and then meditated on the spot to heal their injuries, without asking what weapon Tongfan used to counterattack and fight just now.
Half an hour later, Tong Fan had already picked the blood saffron and packed it in the jade box, and even the body of the rock beast was dissected and sorted by him, and after taking care of the battlefield, Tong Fan flew straight to Rui Dagui and the others to protect the Fa for them.
After Rui Dagui recovered from his injuries, he opened his eyes and saw Tong Fan who was so tired that his eyes were red, and after nodding to Tong Fan, Rui Dagui directly took out the flying magic weapon-Fei Yu, and brought the four people who were still in a coma to Fei Yu, Tong Fan sat on the flying magic weapon to meditate and heal, while Rui Dagui controlled the flying feather and flew directly in the direction where Yunhua Shifang was located.
