Chapter 1247: Chapter 1180: She’s the Type Who Never Acts Without Seeing the Rabbit

Qin Liuxi escorted Xi Zheng and her son back to the residence. The child happened to reach the day of his third-day cleansing ritual. She prepared a medicine bath formula and instructed the servant to brew it, personally bestowing blessings upon Little Quanxi during the ritual.

Xi Zheng felt both grateful and delighted. Her son was born prematurely, before completing his full term. She felt deeply guilty, knowing that taking on the charge with a heavily pregnant belly was a risky endeavor. But who would’ve thought so coincidentally, as she returned from the army camp to the city for her maternity rest and passed through a village, she encountered a group of Turkic people looting and slaughtering the village, just about to move on to the next one. So, she led three thousand soldiers into battle.

Not only was she the Young Mistress of the Quan family, but she was also the Heroic General. Bearing this title and donning this armor was to protect the country and its people, not for the sake of appearance.

The enemy retreated, yet she unexpectedly underwent early childbirth. Fortunately, it went smoothly without any danger. Qin Liuxi happened to be nearby; otherwise, mother and child might not have survived. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Now that Qin Liuxi was about to leave, she was deeply reluctant, her eyes resembling those of a child about to be abandoned, pitiful and pleading.

"Take good care of yourself and raise the child as I instructed," Qin Liuxi said, placing Little Quanxi beside her, "When the child turns five, if you wish to, send him to Qingping Temple for a few years of upbringing."

"Alright."

The little one seemed to sense something, beginning to cry softly. His head turned towards her, eyes opened, his pair of black, pure eyes soaked with tears, clear and bright.

With a gentle stroke on his spiritual platform, Qin Liuxi smiled, "Be good, and grow up well."

She turned around and left.

Xi Zheng was somewhat dazed, only realizing that her eyes were blurred with tears, already filling her eyes.

Is she leaving just like that?

She hadn’t had a chance to express her gratitude, for pointing her towards a lifeline, clearing the Xi Family’s grievances; her father was not a deserter, the Xi Family never betrayed the country nor joined the rebel army.

She thanked her for guiding her to Quan Ji’s side, giving her a husband and child, making her life perfect.

Xi Zheng picked up her son, resting her forehead against his, gently nuzzling him, "Quanxi, remember, those who gave you life weren’t just your mother, but also Master Buqiu from Qingping Temple. Her real name is Qin Liuxi, and she is the faith of our lives as mother and son."

Outside, snowflakes began to fall softly.

Qin Liuxi felt the sincere power of faith nurturing her divine soul, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

...

Heavenly Mountain, covered in snow.

With eyes still bound by cloth, Fan Kong’s eyebrows moved slightly, somewhat helplessly saying, "Why have you come again?"

"Looking at your disdainful expression, I’m just worried you’ll really go blind, coming over for a check-up," Qin Liuxi snorted, "You don’t appreciate kindness."

Fan Kong: "Even if I truly go blind, it’s not that I can’t perceive things."

"Yes, yes, you’ve cultivated to perfection, your Divine Sense can be extended," Qin Liuxi stepped forward, heedlessly grabbing his hand, "But why not use your eyes if you have them, unless you feel binding a ribbon over your eyes is quite immortal, wanting to show off, making people think you’re profound."

Fan Kong: "..."

Oh Buddha, save me, can you chant and make her leave!

Qin Liuxi examined his pulse and took out an Elixir Pill, placing it by his mouth.

Fan Kong’s expression slightly changed, "All living things have spirits, you’ve used the thousand-year-old ginseng spirit as medicine?"

"Eat, so many words!" Qin Liuxi pinched his jaw, the Elixir Pill slid down his throat, instantly dissolving.

Fan Kong felt the spirit of the Elixir Pill, forming a spell with his hands, guiding the surge of spiritual energy to move through his body’s meridians.

Qin Liuxi clicked her tongue, "Saying no with your mouth, but your body is quite honest."

Fan Kong nearly choked.

After circulating that spiritual energy through his entire body, Fan Kong felt the fullness and strength in his meridians, unable to help sighing.

Truly Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, truly extraordinary. No wonder throughout history, encountering such materials that have cultivated into spirits breeds greed.

No, this person before me doesn’t show her hand unless there’s a gain. She gave me a ginseng pill so generously, there must be something she seeks.

Fan Kong became vigilant, looking at Qin Liuxi, "Has the temple master found that little Array Eye this time?"

"Not only did I find it, but I also fought with Si Luo."

Fan Kong: "?"

Qin Liuxi began to talk about the events caused by the two small Array Eyes and the situation meeting and fighting Si Luo, Fan Kong frowned.

"I witnessed the Array Eye erupting, beings were cast into misery, whether humans or spirits, all were wailing in agony, transforming into resentful souls, creatures annihilated wherever it passed," Fan Kong clasped his hands together, chanting a Buddha’s name, then said, "According to what you’ve said, those Stone Beasts are all carrying evil, harming the surrounding feng shui, causing people to lose their sanity, or triggering natural disasters."

"Probably." Qin Liuxi said, "Now Feng Xiu is sending demons to search, I’ve also sent two Big Ghost Kings to find, but seventy-nine Stone Beasts, even if found, relying on me alone might not be able to kill them all and dispel the curse. Even if I could, this severely hinders my research on that large array and crafting the Trapped Immortal Array. I’m thinking, should we issue the Xuanmen Order, asking cultivators of the Taoist Sect worldwide to assist? The Buddhist Sect too."

This world is not just her world, relying on her and her little companions is too taxing. It’s time to issue the Cloud-piercing Arrow, oh no, issue the Xuanmen Order, to involve everyone!

Fan Kong said, "Wouldn’t that backfire? If everyone got caught in one net....."

"Oh distinguished Master of universal salvation, how can you speak like that? Can’t you say something auspicious and pleasant?" Qin Liuxi interrupted him with some irritation.

Fan Kong was somewhat helpless, "As you said, he may not care about these small Array Eyes. Otherwise, after destroying two of them, he made no response against you. If all Taoist and Buddhist sect people get involved, unwittingly falling into his trap, that would be walking right into the lion’s den."

Qin Liuxi squinted at him, "You monk, though cultivating in this remote birdless place of Heavenly Mountain, your words are quite worldly."

Two veins throbbed on Fan Kong’s temple.

"Monk, oh monk, this method is risky, but since he’s shown his sword, hiding in our shell won’t work. We don’t have much time left, I need to seize some time," Qin Liuxi said, "As soon as he escaped from the Nine Netherworld, we’ve been caught in the net. Struggling a bit is necessary."

Fan Kong fell silent, "What do you plan to do then?"

"I gave Feng Xiu a talisman, those Stone Beasts, destroy if you can, suppress them if you can’t. Their presence must not persist, to prevent chaos from spreading. Even if we win against Si Luo later, it would already be devastated, not knowing how long it would take to restore vitality."

Another point, chaos breeds many deaths, many vindictive souls, which then birth resentful spirits. If they spread like a plague and an evil spirit arises, what kind of scene would that be, wouldn’t it be a mortal Purgatory?

Vitality mustn’t be cut off!

"Alright then, as per your words, I’ll go to Yufu Temple and issue a decree with Master Jing Ci," said Fan Kong.

"Then I’ll seek out Master Taicheng," said Qin Liuxi, "Masters are masters, it’s time to exert great efforts."

Master Taicheng: Why do I feel so restless?

With the matter settled, someone still wouldn’t leave, leading Fan Kong to say impatiently, "Aren’t you leaving yet?"

Qin Liuxi came over, smiling, "Was the ginseng pill tasty? Truly made with the thousand-year-old ginseng spirit, worth a fortune."
