"Seventh Senior Sister!"
Bai Zihe was also happy to see his Seventh Senior Sister again.
Then.
The two embraced tightly.
Yao Ke'er was too excited, holding Bai Zihe tightly in her embrace.
Wishing...
She could completely knead Bai Zihe's head into her delicate body.
After a long while.
"Cough cough..."
Even Bai Zihe couldn't withstand Yao Ke'er's enthusiasm and almost suffocated, letting out a cough.
In fact.
For a cultivator at Bai Zihe's level.
Even without breathing for a day and a night, he could exchange energy with the outside world through the pores all over his body and absorb oxygen.
However, Bai Zihe disliked that feeling.
He still felt that normal breathing was the mark of a flesh-and-blood person.
Yao Ke'er also noticed the anomaly, her earlobes turning red, and then she released Bai Zihe.
"Seventh Senior Sister, have there been any recent changes in the capital?"
Bai Zihe couldn't help but ask.
Although.
Ji Xianxuan had told him some things.
However, Ji Xianxuan spoke from the perspective of her being the Palace Master of Xuanyuan Palace.
Many things that she considered minor were not mentioned to Bai Zihe at all.
And Bai Zihe's concern...
Was more about his senior sisters and family.
"The capital... has changed hands."
Yao Ke'er shook her head, her expression turning solemn.
"Since you departed..."
"About five days later, a group of powerful and terrifying people occupied the imperial city's forbidden area and enthroned a new Son of Heaven."
"And..."
"They used iron-blooded methods to quickly purge many loyal subjects of Great Xia, their power becoming immense and unrestrained."
Bai Zihe's brows furrowed slightly.
"Besides that..."
Yao Ke'er continued, "Within Great Xia, sects have sprung up everywhere, with all sorts of cultivation sects emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain."
"These individuals are extremely powerful, and ordinary Grandmasters are no match for them in a single exchange!"
At this point, Yao Ke'er's face was filled with apprehension.
"These are cultivators from the Longevity Sects," Bai Zihe said calmly.
"Longevity Sects?"
Yao Ke'er couldn't help but be surprised, "So it's true!"
Bai Zihe raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Seventh Senior Sister, what do you mean by 'true'?"
Yao Ke'er lowered her voice, "Junior Brother, actually, in our family's guarded area, there is a treasure vault, the same place where you rescued me last time."
Bai Zihe's eyes narrowed slightly.
He remembered.
It was in that place that he went to fight Yao Cunxiao.
"Inside the treasure vault, there is a box."
Yao Ke'er continued, "No one can open that box, not even my father. All sorts of methods have been tried."
"However..."
"Actually, when I was very young, I went near that box."
"I didn't understand anything at the time and was curious about what was inside the box. When I moved it, I accidentally bumped into it."
"I bled, and the box opened."
Bai Zihe couldn't help but ask, "What was inside that box?"
"A scroll."
A scroll!
Bai Zihe immediately thought of the scroll he obtained from Dragon Island.
Could it be...
That what his Seventh Senior Sister obtained was also a scroll from the same set?
Bai Zihe quickly asked, "What was written on the scroll?"
"The scroll recorded some secrets."
"Some..."
"Extremely shocking secrets!"
As she said this, Yao Ke'er's expression became solemn.
Bai Zihe immediately realized that things were not simple.
"It said..."
"About the Longevity Sects, Longevity Secret Arts, and Longevity Immortal Pills!"
Bai Zihe's appetite was whetted.
Before he could ask,
Yao Ke'er continued with a frown, "However, I feel that the contents are fake."
"Fake?"
Bai Zihe subconsciously asked.
"Yes."
Yao Ke'er's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, "For example, the Longevity Secret Arts are actually just some cultivation incantations, but no matter how many times I tried, I couldn't succeed."
"And I had never even heard of the Longevity Sects until you mentioned them today."
"As for the Longevity Immortal Pills, that's even more ridiculous!"
"Over the years, I have devoted myself entirely to the study of medicine, precisely to try the formulas for several Longevity Immortal Pills recorded there..."
"Unfortunately, some of the medicinal ingredients are incomplete, let alone being able to refine Longevity Immortal Pills..."
Yao Ke'er's words caused a huge wave to surge in Bai Zihe's heart.
The Longevity Sects clearly existed.
Longevity Secret Arts...
Should be the secret cultivation methods of cultivators.
However, the cultivation of cultivators started from the Grandmaster level and above, and since his Seventh Senior Sister was not yet at the Grandmaster realm, how could she cultivate them?
As for the Longevity Immortal Pills, Bai Zihe had not known about them before.
But during this trip to Dragon Island, he had obtained many medicinal ingredients, many of which he had never heard of.
However...
The spiritual energy contained in some of these medicinal ingredients was so abundant that it shocked Bai Zihe.
He himself was a master alchemist.
He was already intimately familiar with all the elixirs below the Grandmaster level, so he had no need for these potent medicinal ingredients.
There was only one explanation.
These medicinal ingredients were used to refine elixirs for cultivators!
After understanding everything, Bai Zihe immediately told his Seventh Senior Sister his thoughts in their entirety.
"This..."
Yao Ke'er frowned slightly after listening, and fell into thought.
After a moment, she shook her head and said to Bai Zihe, "Junior Brother, how about this, I'll write down the contents and tell you."
"Okay!"
Bai Zihe was overjoyed.
Afterward, Bai Zihe took his Seventh Senior Sister's phone and sent messages of his safety to his Fifth Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, and others.
They were all happy to know that Bai Zihe had returned.
It's just that.
The situation in Great Xia was changing rapidly, and they couldn't leave for the time being.
"Junior Brother..."
At this moment, Yue Rushuang's voice suddenly became a little deeper, "When you are free, come back to Suhang City quickly."
"What happened?"
Bai Zihe asked subconsciously.
"It's... Bai Ruoyi, she had a headache this morning, it seems like the蛊虫 in her brain is about to be uncontrollable!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zihe's pupils contracted sharply.
The Spirit Devouring Gu!
This thing was a ticking time bomb in Bai Ruoyi's brain. Once it erupted, it would inevitably lead to extremely serious consequences.
Before.
He had obtained the Gu King's Spirit Pearl from the Gu King, which was used to suppress the Gu worm in Bai Ruoyi's brain. Now, it seemed that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction.
"Fifth Senior Sister, help me book a plane ticket. I'm returning to Suhang City from the capital immediately."
"Alright."
After Yue Rushuang hung up the phone, she immediately went to handle it.
Bai Zihe had no choice but to bid farewell to his Seventh Senior Sister.
