As the conversation reached this point, she finally looked up.

But when she saw a glimmer in Chu Qianqiu's eyes, she couldn't help but lower her head again.

Meanwhile, Chu Qianqiu was surprised to find that this small Moon Phoenix City actually hid such hidden talents.

The people she casually met seemed to have extraordinary backgrounds.

The previous Qiao Fairy and this Green Medical Immortal are both cultivators, one with a special physique and the other with special spiritual roots.

How come there are so many people who can cultivate now? It's becoming common?

And Qing Lian told him all this, practically hitting him where it hurts and forcing him to consider taking her as a concubine.

"Cough cough, so you're a cultivator, that's great, that's great..."

Not knowing how to respond, Chu Qianqiu could only cough.

Sensing the young master's approval, Qing Lian's heart trembled, feeling somewhat happy.

"Young master, I'll tell you, but please don't tell anyone else."

"Because of my spiritual roots... my grandfather said they are very dangerous. If bad people find out, they will try to harm me."

Adding a little more, Qing Lian, who had been keeping her true feelings to herself, started to find herself strange.

She didn't know what she was saying, always bringing up topics that the young master might not be interested in.

Clearly, she had such a good opportunity in front of her, and her grandfather even told her to be more proactive and confess boldly to the young master.

But she lacked the courage. Facing the elegant and outstanding Chu Qianqiu, she always felt that she was not worthy of him.

...

Chu Qianqiu sighed helplessly.

Seeing Qing Lian's restraint, he had to take the initiative and pat her head, teasing her in a mischievous and mysterious manner.

"I've never heard that someone's spiritual roots can be targeted by bad guys. Aren't spiritual roots something that grows on oneself? How can they be targeted?"

"It's the special physique that can have this situation."

"But miss, by telling me this, aren't you afraid that I might be one of those 'bad guys' you mentioned?"

"To be honest, I'm very interested in your body."

Pretending to be a villain, Chu Qianqiu showed a sinister expression.

Qing Lian saw it, but she wasn't afraid. On the contrary, she went along with it and approached the young master a little more. Suddenly, she became bold and mustered up the courage to speak.

"If the young master is a bad person, I willingly offer myself."

"After all, you have shown me kindness before. Everything I do in the future will be to repay my grandfather's debt, without any regrets."

The fragrance of magnolia and the elegance of a virgin surrounded Chu Qianqiu's senses.

Feeling the refreshing and pure fragrance emanating from Qing Lian, Chu Qianqiu dropped his evil expression and became somewhat intoxicated. He shrugged his shoulders.

"I was just teasing you. I'm not a bad person, I'm only half bad!"

"But if you are a cultivator, then I'm really interested in you."

"When I cure your grandfather's illness, I hope you can fulfill one of my wishes, okay?"

Casually and confidently, Chu Qianqiu asked a mysterious question, arousing Qing Lian's curiosity.

She wanted to ask, but was silenced by a gentle touch of his lips, indicating that they would talk about it after her grandfather's recovery.

And as she watched the young master touch his lips, he smiled so warmly.

Even though she was usually dull, she instantly understood his meaning. Her jade cheeks turned crimson, and she bid farewell softly before leaving in a hurry.

She was flustered, but she didn't know if it was resistance or excitement.

...

"Ah, I have to make the move myself. This girl is too timid."

"If it were an ordinary person, they probably would have couldn't resist and pushed her down, right?"

"I really am a saint!"

After Qing Lian had completely left, Chu Qianqiu couldn't help but speak helplessly, but deep down, he was secretly delighted.

It's great. This time, he finally received good karma.

He didn't expect that in this Moon Phoenix City, there would be a cultivator with spiritual roots who secretly admired him.

If it weren't for that Qiao Xiaoxiao, who looked like a loli but was a complete disaster.

If you think about it, Qiao Fairy should have been on his "hunting" list.

"Unfortunately!"

...

Another two days had passed.

During these two days, Chu Qianqiu had been waiting at home, finally receiving news about the required herbs for the exorcism pill.

However, as expected, the disciples all said that no one in the city possessed these herbs.

To find those spiritual herbs, they would most likely have to search in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

But how could an ordinary person go to such a place?

Not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators would hesitate to guarantee their safe return.

Therefore, the idea of hiring someone to go on their behalf was quickly dismissed.

Now, they could only return empty-handed and face the punishment from the family head.

Chu Qianqiu had already anticipated this, so he remained calm.

He simply asked these people to provide more details about the specific locations of the herbs he needed in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

"Master, we have inquired and the Flying Grass might be in this location, the Millennium Vine might be in this location... and the Fiery Sun Fruit might be in..."

"No one dares to go to these places, so..."

They took out several maps and pointed out the specific locations of these herbs to Chu Qianqiu.

As he listened, Chu Qianqiu furrowed his brows because he realized that the things he needed were in the more dangerous areas of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, most likely guarded by demonic beasts.

But considering his current interests, he decided that he must go.

He didn't directly tell the disciples this, so as not to alarm everyone.

Now, the only person who could go was him.

In his storage ring, he had the snake tooth that Mu Lao had given him, so he didn't need to worry about being attacked by demonic beasts.

And the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was generally off-limits to cultivators, so he didn't have to worry about being attacked by other cultivators either.

Thinking about it, as long as he didn't venture too deep into the mountains, to the areas where even ordinary demonic beasts wouldn't dare to stay, it would still be relatively safe for him.

In order to cure Grandfather Qinglian's illness and to bring Qinglian into his family as soon as possible, Chu Qianqiu felt that this risk was worth taking.

And with Qinglian's help, at the very least, the medical industry in Moon Phoenix City would be directly monopolized by the Chu family.

In the future, he would teach Qinglian alchemy, in addition to her own medical skills.

The role of the boss of the Hundred Physicians Pavilion was most suitable for her.

"Prepare a little and then set off."

...

After finishing the preparations, Chu Qianqiu only told Xue'er the truth, saying that he was going to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and told her the story of him and Qinglian.

At first, Chu Qianqiu thought that when Xue'er heard another woman's name, she would feel uncomfortable and might even slap him.

But after Gu Qingxue quietly listened to the whole story, her expression remained unchanged, without much fluctuation, and even showed a sense of acceptance.

Because a few days ago, she had met this girl at the Hundred Physicians Pavilion.

This girl was friendly and called her "sister" because she didn't know her identity.

She responded politely, and the two of them had a pleasant conversation, quickly becoming friends.

Later, her husband also told her some stories about the Green Medical Immortal, knowing that she was a filial person in addition to being a cultivator.

Therefore, as her husband's legal wife, she was the first to stand up and express her support without any objections, fully understanding her husband's intentions.

Chu Qianqiu was a little confused, not expecting things to develop so smoothly.

And Qingxue was curious why her husband reacted so strongly.

Her father had many wives and concubines back then, with many filial children and grandchildren.

Now, her husband had only accepted her alone, so he shouldn't be so reserved, right?

In fact, compared to the topic of the Green Medical Immortal, what she was more worried about now was that her husband was going to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range alone, which was too dangerous, and he needed someone to accompany him.

To ease Qingxue's worries, Chu Qianqiu showed her the snake tooth and explained its effects, assuring her that he would definitely succeed.

After much persuasion, Chu Qianqiu managed to calm his beloved wife down and convinced her that there was no need for her to follow him.

He arranged for Xue'er to take care of Little Yuehan at home and made sure that Xue'er kept this matter a secret.

Under the cover of night, Chu Qianqiu left home and headed alone towards the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range in the distance.
