Bai Qingrou’s expression didn’t look very good, "Xiao sister, your information is quite accurate, coming here so quickly."

Qin Qi was a bit confused, "What, exactly is going on here?"

Yuan Tianqing explained with a smile, "It’s like this, this is the City Lord of the neighboring Holy Wood City, Feng Xiaoxiao. She belongs to the Qingyi Sect, just like our Tianlan Sect!"

"Yesterday, I heard that young Qin Qi has the ability to detect Evil Demons, and naturally, she came upon hearing the news."

"After all, the city infiltrated by the Evil Demon isn’t just our Tianqing City; Holy Wood City has also suffered."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi suddenly understood.

However, he quickly noticed a playful look in Yuan Tianqing’s smile.

He immediately understood.

The news about his ability to spot Evil Demons couldn’t have spread and been guessed so quickly.

It was obvious that Yuan Tianqing deliberately leaked the information to Yuan Xiaoxiao.

"This is City Lord Yuan’s way of helping me," Qin Qi realized.

Yuan Tianqing indeed couldn’t provoke Bai Qingrou, but he could push him into others’ hands.

Feng Xiaoxiao’s strength and demeanor clearly showed she wasn’t afraid of Bai Qingrou.

Upon realizing this, he felt a sense of gratitude arise in his heart.

Feng Xiaoxiao, meanwhile, smiled sweetly, "That’s right, young Qin Qi, your ability to see through the Evil Demon’s disguise is indeed remarkable. This time, we also have to rely on your help."

However, obviously, Bai Qingrou didn’t plan to let Qin Qi leave so easily.

After all, the methods Qin Qi possessed to counter Evil Demons were undoubtedly her money-making tree for gaining battle merits in the future.

How could she easily let Qin Qi, this treasure, go to the other side?

Thinking of this, Bai Qingrou snorted coldly, "Feng Xiaoxiao, you think you can just take him away? Is this place your home?"

"Qin Qi is somewhat averse to unfamiliar environments, I’m afraid he may not agree to go to your place!"

Qin Qi’s mouth twitched.

This Bai Qingrou!

If she didn’t want to let him leave, she could have just said it directly, instead of pushing the blame onto him.

Fortunately, Feng Xiaoxiao wasn’t easy to deal with either; she snorted, "Saintess Bai, you should know, I’m asking for Qin Qi for the sake of the entire battlefield!"

"Now we have a few thorns in Holy Wood City that we can’t pull out. If they affect the battle, can you bear that responsibility?"

Bai Qingrou spoke chillingly, "Your Holy Wood City can’t pull out the thorns? How does that concern us?"

Feng Xiaoxiao gnashed her teeth, and her slight frame immediately stood up, "Bai Qingrou, what, do I need to escalate this issue?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingrou’s face undoubtedly stiffened.

Obviously, this ’upper authority’ still held considerable sway over her.

Seeing the opportunity ripe, Yuan Tianqing finally intervened, "Ladies, let’s not argue, how about this. City Lord Feng, you see, Qin Qi is also a living person, you can’t just say you’ll take him and that’s it!"

As he spoke, Yuan Tianqing smiled cryptically.

Qin Qi also understood.

This was Yuan Tianqing seizing the chance to ask for some benefits for himself while getting Feng Xiaoxiao to offer up something to silence Bai Qingrou!

How could someone as clever as Feng Xiaoxiao not understand?

She snorted, "Rest assured, we at Holy Wood City may not have much, but we can afford to give. Taking Qin Qi away, we naturally wouldn’t come empty-handed!"

"I have two Huangmu Pills just refined by Qingyi Sect, Saintess Bai, you should know their effects!"

Seeing the pills Feng Xiaoxiao took out, Bai Qingrou immediately lit up, entirely losing the harsh, unyielding demeanor from earlier.

"Huangmu Pills?"

Bai Qingrou immediately said, "If it’s these two Huangmu Pills, then it’s not impossible to discuss the matter."

At this point, a mysterious woman’s voice suddenly echoed in Qin Qi’s mind, "Qin Qi, you must get hold of one of those Huangmu Pills; this elixir’s effects are extraordinary and shouldn’t be left entirely to Bai Qingrou!"

Bai Qingrou at this point spoke with a smile, "Sister Feng, come, let me see the quality of these two Huangmu Pills!"

Seeing this, Qin Qi immediately spoke up, "City Lord Feng, can I take a look at this Huangmu Pill?"

Feng Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn’t refuse, tossing one of the Huangmu Pills to Qin Qi.

After catching the Huangmu Pill, Qin Qi directly tossed it into his storage bag, "Thank you, City Lord Feng, for the pill. Just for this, I’ll help with the Evil Demon issue!"

Hearing this, Bai Qingrou’s face undoubtedly looked displeased.

This Qin Qi was truly cunning.

He actually dared to decide on accepting Feng Xiaoxiao’s request without any consultation?

Moreover, he snatched away one Huangmu Pill?

Now, of the two pills, only one remained in her hands.

Feng Xiaoxiao tossed the other pill to Bai Qingrou.

Bai Qingrou’s expression still wasn’t quite pleasant, "Alright, Qin Qi can be lent to you for three days, but only three days. After that, you have to return him to me!"

"Qin Qi was originally mine. I think, City Lord Feng, you should know that!"

Qin Qi’s mouth twitched.

This Bai Qingrou really wasn’t shy in her words.

What does she mean by saying I’m hers?

Luckily he acted in time, otherwise both Huangmu Pills would have been snatched by Bai Qingrou, and he’d get nothing out of it!

As for Feng Xiaoxiao, her original goal was just to have Qin Qi ferret out the Evil Demon, and she didn’t refuse, "Alright, three days it is."

"Young Qin Qi, let’s go!"

Qin Qi cupped his hands in response, "Alright then, City Lord Feng, if you could allow me a moment to prepare!"

"No worries, there’s time!" Feng Xiaoxiao responded with a patronizing air.

What Qin Qi called preparation was just going back to inform Zuo Qingyue and Wenren Xiaoxian.

Then, out of curiosity, he asked, "What exactly is this Huangmu Pill? Seeing Bai Qingrou’s reaction, it’s clear she holds this Huangmu Pill in high regard. Does this elixir have some particularly miraculous effect?"

"It certainly does!"

The mysterious woman replied with a chuckle, "Kid, your fortune isn’t small. To come across a Huangmu Pill refined by Qingyi Sect!"

"Do you know, this Huangmu Pill can only be refined by Qingyi Sect in the entire world? And they can only produce them once every ten years!"

"Each batch produces at most twenty-something pills. For you to get one shows how deep your fortune runs!"

Qin Qi was astonished, "Refined only once every ten years?"

"Yes, that’s because Qingyi Sect possesses a sacred tree, and the primary ingredient for this elixir, the sacred tree sap, only produces a minute amount every ten years."

The mysterious woman sighed in awe, "As for the effects of this elixir, they are uniquely powerful and direct. Those who take it can undergo a complete transformation!"

"The effects after transformation vary from person to person. Some gain increased longevity, some see a rise in cultivation, and others become physically stronger."

"In a nutshell, the effects are marvelously beneficial. Because of this, many people wish to acquire this Huangmu Pill, but unfortunately, it’s a pill that’s hard to find, available only at a great price but not on the market!"
