Chapter 4: Meeting Hong Fu (Seeking follow-up reading and investment)

Holding the pass token given by Hong Fu, Qi Yuan had a smooth journey all the way, going deep into the heart of Huangfeng Valley and arriving at a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

I saw beautiful scenery in the valley, with birds singing and flowers blooming. A thin layer of mist was lingering around the mountain, like a beauty wearing a veil, appearing and disappearing.

Qi Yuan slapped his storage bag, summoned a sound transmission note, whispered a few words, then raised his hand and shot directly into the depths of the valley, breaking into that mysterious place.

The sky gradually changes and the time of an incense stick passes quietly.

Suddenly, the mist in the valley dissipated, and a young girl flew out from it. She stopped, looked at Qi Yuan, and said with a sweet smile: "It's been a few years since we last met. Junior Brother Qi has become more handsome."

Qi Yuan said seriously: "Senior Sister Dong, you are too kind. Senior Sister has changed a lot in the past three years. Her appearance has become more charming and seductive."

The person who came was Dong Xuaner.

Compared to the beautiful appearance in memory, the current Dong Xuan'er... has a kind of mature charm between her eyebrows, and with a good figure, she can be said to have a beauty that can bring disaster to the country and the people.

According to the original work, she should start practicing the top-level skill "Huachun Jue", so that she will be as charming as a young lady in her prime.

It's so exciting!
Dong Xuan'er was somewhat pleased when she heard Qi Yuan's words, but when she saw the calmness in the eyes of the person opposite her, she suddenly realized that it was just a compliment and her charm had no effect on Qi Yuan...

Damn it, the Huachun Jue is useless against this guy?
When he saw me before, he looked like he was in a state of dementia, but now he has changed so much.

Qi Yuan saw Dong Xuan'er was silent and smiled, "Senior Sister, is Grandmaster Hongfu here?"

"Oh, yes, come in with me." Dong Xuan'er couldn't figure it out for the moment, so she could only finish the things at hand and try it out when she had time.

Is it that the Huachun Jue has become ineffective?
Qi Yuan smiled slightly and followed Dong Xuaner in.

The girl's voice is indeed soft and has a deep and magnetic feel. If it were a different scene, few men would be able to persist.

A moment.

Led by Dong Xuan'er, Qi Yuan came to a hall. Looking up, he saw a woman in red sitting on the main seat. She had a fair and delicate face with a long black hair pinned up with a wooden hairpin, revealing her smooth neck. Her wide robe concealed her body, but it also had obvious ups and downs.

This person is Hong Fu, who is at the Jindan stage and one of the most powerful figures in Huangfeng Valley.

Qi Yuan's face became solemn, and he bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Disciple Qi Yuan, I greet Grandmaster Hong Fu."

After Dong Xuan'er returned to the hall, she stood directly beside Hong Fu, serving her, staring at Qi Yuan with her pair of bright dark eyes.

Thinking that he was the first person who remained unmoved since she started practicing the Huachun Jue, this made her a little curious!
Hong Fu looked at the descendants of her savior and nodded slightly. A few years had finally tempered him a little. He had lost his ostentatious air and his movements and behavior had become more steady.

She was a little surprised by his sixth level of Qi training. She knew Qi Yuan's talent very well...

She whispered, "Get up, Xuan'er will serve tea."

Qi Yuan immediately said, "Master Hongfu, there is no need for tea. My disciple will just stand."

"Your ancestor saved my life, what's a cup of tea?" Hong Fu said calmly.

Let’s talk about this.

Qi Yuan bowed and said, "Junior obeys your command!"

Afterwards, he politely sat down on a dark chair at the side.

A fragrant breeze blew over, and Qi Yuan's eyelids moved slightly. It was Dong Xuan'er who came to serve tea. He responded with a look of gratitude.

Hong Fu guessed that Qi Yuan was here to help her with her troubles. She said, "Did you run into trouble in the valley? Tell me about it. If it's someone else's fault, I will seek justice for you."

"No, Master Hongfu, you are overthinking it. I came here to thank you. If you hadn't been willing to guide me in practicing the way of immortality, I would be living in the secular world now." Qi Yuan said, sitting upright.

Hong Fu was slightly surprised when she heard this, but her eyes softened. She thought Qi Yuan had gotten into trouble and came to her for protection. Then she encouraged him a few words, and the two of them continued chatting.

Qi Yuan felt that the atmosphere was about right, so he held the jade box containing the hundred-year-old Ice Spirit Grass in his hand and said, "This is a little filial piety from my disciple, please have a look at it, Grandmaster Hongfu."

Dong Xuan'er got a signal from Hong Fu and walked over to bring back the jade box. Then she opened the box and saw the elixir inside. She looked slightly indifferent. A hundred-year-old elixir was too worthless.

As Dong Xuan'er is Hong Fu's closest person, she naturally has abundant and better resources for cultivation and has little interest in century-old elixirs.

But Hong Fu would not think like her. A hundred-year-old elixir was useless to her, but the resources obtained by Qi Yuan's identity could not buy a hundred-year-old elixir. Then, considering his sixth-level Qi training, the matter might not be simple, and she said, "Qi Yuan, can't you explain it?"

Qi Yuan had already thought of the words to respond to Hong Fu's questioning, and made up a story that he had inherited the legacy of a foundation-building cultivator and obtained his relics.

Hong Fu looked at Qi Yuan's confident expression and believed it a little bit.

It is also very likely that he will obtain the inheritance of a foundation-building cultivator in the territory of Yue State, which will coincide with the factor that will make his cultivation progress by leaps and bounds.

But on second thought, Qi Yuan's purpose in offering the hundred-year-old elixir was not simple.

Given his aptitude, if his cultivation suddenly changed drastically, he would probably be targeted and killed for his treasure.

Is this kid here to seek her protection?

"I accept this filial piety. You will go to the utility room tomorrow to take up your post. There will be stewards there to arrange your affairs. If you don't have anything to do, don't go out of the valley. Just practice more on weekdays."

Utility room?
It sounds like a sinecure, but I can’t care too much about it. I’ll just quit my status as a menial disciple first.

Otherwise, the time that menial disciples spend doing daily work can take up most of their time for practice.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master..." Qi Yuan said while bowing.

Hong Fu's face flushed slightly when she heard the word "deep love". She coughed and said, "If you have any doubts about your practice, you can always come to me for answers. If I'm not here, Xuan'er will help you answer them."

This promise is acceptable. In this way, he can go in and out of Hongfu Cave frequently, which will help deepen their relationship.

Moreover, as long as he goes in and out more often, the disciples in the valley will have fewer doubts about his rapid progress in cultivation.

Maybe that was the elixir bestowed by Grandmaster Hongfu.

Who dares to ask for money?

Qi Yuan got the promise, and after chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left.

Hong Fu glanced at the departing figure and said to Dong Xuan'er, "If Qi Yuan comes over and I'm not here, you should answer his questions with all your heart and not just give him a perfunctory answer."

As the first female cultivator in the Jindan stage in the valley, in addition to spending most of her time practicing, she also needs to deal with some important matters and then look for some suitable opportunities, so she doesn't necessarily have to be in the valley all the time.

Moreover, she had also heard vaguely about what happened to Dong Xuan'er and had warned her several times.

She needed to reiterate it one more time, just in case.

"Disciple understands." Dong Xuan'er bowed slightly, and her twinkling eyes showed that things would not be simple.

In fact, Dong Xuaner had just started practicing the "Spring Transformation Technique" and had not yet reached the stage of flirting with other male disciples, but there were subtle signs that she enjoyed the flattery of the opposite sex.

Unfortunately, Qi Yuan's appearance made her put aside other things temporarily and think about controlling him first.

She just didn't believe that the Huachun Jue couldn't confuse him.
