“They… came too soon.” Lou Qianxue stretched her hand out to support her forehead. “Should I meet them?”
“Then, how will you rest?” Gong Sunheng, who was gentle and approachable usually, suddenly became overbearing. “So many people have come to see you. If you meet them, it’ll become an endless affair. Don’t meet them this time. We can talk about it after we get hold of the Phantom Demon Heart Fire.”
After pondering for a while, Lou Qianxue nodded. “You’re right.”
Thereafter, she rejected all the invitations and closed the door to rest.
Master Yan, An Shaoning, Young Master Scarlet-masked, Li Tingtao, and the others had rushed over upon hearing that they had been rejected; they were extremely disappointed. As they glanced at one another, they said, “No, I have to see Miss Lou.”
“But you can’t offend Miss Lou… ”
“However, that Marrow-Washing Pill was really… ”
No one except the families that had gotten hold of the Marrow-Washing Pills was aware that these families had benefited endlessly from the pills. With just that small bottle of Marrow-Washing Pills, their families had cultivated quite a number of young practitioners with decent talent…
If they had more of such pills…
A tinge of eagerness flashed past everyone’s eyes.
“I’ve decided to stay in Qingfeng Hotel and wait for Miss Lou.”
“Me too.”
“Me too!”
On this day, Qingfeng Hotel in Liuyun Prefecture had been fully booked. Almost all the powerful people in and out of Liuyun Prefecture had booked a room there.
This matter would become a legend for a long period in the future. And for an even longer period in the future, no one had been able to take the limelight away from Lou Qianxue.
When Lou Qianxue heard about this matter, she became silent. “It’s fortunate that I had listened to Gongsun.”
She then shook her head, quickly collected her thoughts, and entered Mountain River Space.
Within the space, everything was as usual.
She sat with her legs crossed and started to cultivate the Divine Refinement Scroll.
In order to facilitate herself to enter the boundary of the ‘Phantom Demon Heart Fire,’ she had rarely cultivated her martial arts and Essence Martial Power in recent days. Instead, she had been training her mental strength.
The higher her mental strength became, the more she felt that her thoughts were clearer. She also required half the effort to understand martial arts now.
She had even learned a lot about the fifth form of the Mountain River Sword Technique, which was the Ten Thousand Sword form. She was close to completely understanding it…
However, for no apparent reason, Lou Qianxue could not calm herself down tonight. She opened her eyes after a short while and looked toward the Mountain River Boundary Marker.
“After this period of training, my mental strength has become over ten times stronger than before… Should I try to read a memory from the Mountain River Boundary Marker again?”
Every memory fragment from the Alchemy God and the God of War had given her many benefits…
She was looking forward a lot to the memory she would obtain the next time…
However…
“Forget it. Every time I read a memory from the Mountain River Boundary Marker, my mind suffers a fierce impact. If an accident happens, and it delays the matter of the Phantom Demon Heart Fire, it won’t be good.”
Lou Qianxue got up and walked to an area within the space. As she looked at the little beast, which hugged its tail and was curled into a small heap, soundly sleeping, she touched its head. “This little beast has slept for a very long time… I wonder when it will wake up?”
Just as she finished speaking, she discovered that the tail of the little beast in her arms had slightly moved.
“Huh?” Lou Qianxue’s eyes lit up. “Could it be that this little beast can hear me talking in its dreams? Looks like it will wake up soon… ”
Lou Qianxue did not feel like cultivating tonight. Following Gong Sunheng’s advice, she rested well for the night.
The next day arrived.
After a night had passed, the number of people rushing to see Lou Qianxue from all parts of Liuyun Prefecture had not decreased, It had more than doubled.
Qingfeng Hotel had practically been surrounded until nothing could get through.
Lou Qianxue and Gong Sunheng were helpless. Only after they disguised themselves could they successfully leave the hotel.
“Why do they want to see you so badly?”
“It may be… because of the Marrow-Washing Pill!” Lou Qianxue then shook her head again and said, “Let’s not talk about them. Gongsun, tell me now. Where exactly is the ‘Phantom Demon Heart Fire’ in Qingyun Mountain?”
