Ding Qi picked all the herbs in the center of Qixia Mountain, and it didn't take much time.

After he arrived at his destination, it only took Ding Qi less than an hour to collect all the precious herbs in this Qixia Mountain that were more than a hundred years old.

If it was before Ding Qi didn't obtain the copper ring storage ring in his hand, even if he could pick and take away this batch of herbs from the center of Qixia Mountain one by one, it wouldn't just take this amount of time.

However, with the brass ring, after picking the herbs, Ding Qi directly put them in the storage ring, which is extremely convenient and will not waste any effort at all.

Now, after the collapse of the underground palace, although the center of Qixia Mountain, although there is an area within a radius of several miles, it has become quite messy, but this has not caused Ding Qi too much trouble in finding medicinal herbs.

With the blessing of the Wind Resisting Technique, Ding Qi could cross many obstacles and appear in the place where the herbs grew with just a light touch of the ground.

Moreover, the area where the underground palace collapsed only occupied a very small part of the growth environment of this batch of medicinal herbs. Most of these hundred-year-old herbs are grown in an environment outside of this messy area.

Coming down from Qixia Mountain, Ding Qi sorted out all the medicinal herbs he picked this time in the medicine garden, and after placing and storing them in different categories, he set foot on the road to the Qingyun Sect the next day.

On the carriage on the way, Ding Qi thought about the trouble that Zuo Yang had brought him, and frowned slightly: "This time the Qingyun Sect explored that underground palace, the loss is too huge." Almost all the high-level people who entered the dungeon were lost inside, and the number of people who came out alive was only ten. I don't know how the Qingyun Sect will deal with it after getting the situation in the underground palace this time. ”

Ding Qi swirled these thoughts in his mind, imagining the reaction of the Qingyun Sect after learning about the disaster caused by the exploration of the underground palace, and the expression on his face began to become strange.

Then, Ding Qi thought of something again, and his expression moved slightly again: "However, as long as the old man with the dry face of the Qingyun Sect is still there, there shouldn't be too much of a problem." ”

Ding Qi thought of the old man who had taken his three palms hard, and his face was thoughtful.

This old man is also the purpose of Ding Qi's trip.

The identity of this withered old man is not known to most people in the Qingyun Sect, and even people from the sect like Elder Yuan, who have only been promoted to elders in recent years, like Ding Qi who have seen before, do not know the identity of this person. However, this person's true identity is obviously extremely high in the Qingyun Sect. I think that among the elders with the oldest qualifications in the Qingyun Sect, or the deputy heads, most of them know the identity of this person.

With the identity of this old man, and the kind of skill that is approaching the limit that a martial arts person can reach, even if this kind of disaster happens to the Qingyun faction, it should be able to keep the Qingyun faction from having too many problems.

In the underground palace, Zuo Yang brought trouble to Ding Qi, if the people of the Qingyun faction really found his head, with Ding Qi's ability, even if he wanted to step on the Qingyun faction, it was just a matter of turning over his hands, but if it was not necessary, he was naturally unwilling to do this kind of thing.

As long as the withered old man is there, and this person is still a little self-aware, Ding Qi believes that this person will properly deal with the trouble of this matter.

"Besides, ....... ”

During this period, Ding Qi didn't know what he was thinking about, but gradually narrowed his eyes.

On his trip to the Qingyun Sect, in addition to solving the trouble brought out of the underground palace, it seems that he also has other deeper considerations.

While thinking about these things, Ding Qi's body continued to approach Qingyun Mountain with the shaking of the carriage.

A day and a night later, in the evening, Ding Qi saw Qingyun Mountain in the distance from the carriage window. He looked at Qingyun Mountain, which was gradually approaching with the carriage, and he didn't see any expression on his face, only frowned slightly, and straightened up from the carriage all of a sudden.

Then, on the carriage, Ding Qi's figure shook slightly twice, and blurred for a while. Then, with a shake of the carriage, he reached his body, turned into a phantom, and completely disappeared from the carriage.

After a quarter of an hour, the coachman finally drove the carriage to the foot of Qingyun Mountain, opened the door, and prepared to inform Ding Qi that they had arrived at their destination, but Ding Qi had long been nowhere to be found.

There was only a silver ingot, which was placed firmly in the carriage.

......

That night, in a simple wooden house built at the foot of the main peak of Qingyun Mountain, an old man stood quietly by the window, raised his head and carefully looked at the full moon outside the window.

The man's face was unusually dry and wrinkled, and it looked like an old bark. The strange thing is that the moonlight shines on this person, and if you look closely, you will find that it seems to be a layer of ripples like ocean waves, which is extremely strange.

This old man is the true qi in his body, and he is unconsciously releasing his true qi all the time.

This person's body is basically covered with a film of true qi.

If at this time, some people in the rivers and lakes saw the situation on this old man, they would probably be so frightened that they couldn't close their mouths. The true qi cultivation of this old man has clearly reached the highest level of rumors in the rivers and lakes as one inside and outside, without increasing or decreasing, and being one.

This old man is naturally the old man with a dry face who broke a few ribs by Ding Qi more than a year ago.

At this time, although the old man looked at the bright moonlight outside, it was obvious from the deep frowning brows on his face that this person's attention was not on the beautiful scenery outside the window at all.

"Zuo Yang's trip to the underground palace actually caused such a big disaster. Seven elders, eleven Dharma protectors, plus hall masters, deacons, and core disciples, a total of more than fifty people, and even the head of Zuoyang's faction, all died inside. Nearly one-third of the masters of the entire sect are dead, this is ....... The withered old man muttered to himself with a sad face.

The old man thought back to the news he got from the people who came back from the underground palace yesterday, even though he had not asked about the affairs of the sect for many years, he was still distracted and stunned by this news.

No one in the Qingyun Sect thought that this time Zuo Yang took people to explore the underground palace, and it would eventually be such a result.

"The situation of this matter is really too bad, and you can't let anyone else in the sect know about it at all!" The withered old man, thinking about this, frowned even deeper.
