Just now, that reflection actually said that her feelings for her master were fake?
And it said that her master couldn’t be saved anymore?
Li Qingran felt angry just thinking about that reflection.
What else was there to say?
If they prevented her from saving her master, she would just have to kill them all with one strike!
The scriptures chosen by Elder Jiong were already faintly glowing; even in the densely packed fifth floor, they could be found at a glance.
Li Qingran picked up the scripture and examined it carefully.
It was a book of alchemy, divided into two volumes: upper and lower.
The upper volume recorded techniques for refining elixirs, while the lower volume documented prescriptions.
There were only three prescriptions in total.
They were <Golden Scale Skin Refining Powder>, <Hundred Herb Detoxifying Pill>, and <Dragon Tendon Bone Tempering Liquid>.
Among these, the Hundred Herb Detoxifying Pill was rumored to be able to detoxify all kinds of strange poisons, surpassing even the alchemical formulas of Spirit Intuition Valley. However, its refinement difficulty was extremely high, especially because the materials were hard to collect, requiring over a hundred rare medicinal herbs.
But Li Qingran was very happy, feeling relieved as if a heavy stone had been lifted from her heart, her eyes and brows curving with joy:
“Luckily I didn’t go to Spirit Intuition Valley; otherwise, I wouldn’t have found a way to solve the demon poison on the senior’s body.”
“Once you’ve looked through the scriptures, you can come out,” Elder Jiong called from outside.
Li Qingran returned the scripture to its original place and went back to the entrance.
“This is a copy of the Heart of Alchemy annotations,” Jiongyuan Mo handed Li Qingran an jade slip and warned, “This jade slip will automatically destroy itself after twelve hours. You need to memorize the contents within twelve hours, right?”
“No problem.” Li Qingran took the copy, thanked Elder Jiong, and left the scripture hall.
Standing atop the Northern Peak of Sword Pavilion, she gazed at the clouds rolling across the skies.
Li Qingran stretched lazily, finally feeling a bit lighter.
“Next, I need to gather the required spiritual herbs, and I also need to tell Master about this so that Master can be happy too,” Li Qingran chuckled. She thought that the Sect Leader would definitely help her find the spiritual herbs. As long as everyone worked together, they could surely help Master resolve the demon poison, and then Master could safely return to Sword Pavilion.
In that case, she could see Master every day…
Thinking about it, her ears involuntarily turned red.
Li Qingran rang the bell, and the immortal crane by the cliff flew over.
She mounted the crane, planning to first visit Ten Thousand Sword Peak to look at the stone tablet left by Master, and then return to Sunset Peak.

“Security officer, listen to me, I really don’t know that girl well.”
“But how did she end up in your room? And she’s not even an adult yet.”
“I saw her injured and gave her first aid.”
“That’s your reason for undressing her?”
“How else was I supposed to bandage her wounds or perform acupuncture?”
“You know how to perform acupuncture? Are you a doctor?”
“No…”
“Keep talking, I’m listening.” The security officer flipped his notebook, signaling Chen Huaian to continue making up stories.
Chen Huaian was speechless.
Not long after Lin Lingling was taken away by the ambulance, the security officer arrived.
Probably reported by hotel staff.
Seeing blood everywhere inside and outside the door, and involving an underage female high school student, the security officer naturally handcuffed him and took him away.
“I’m telling the truth. Just wait until that girl wakes up and you can ask her.”
“We will wait, but before that, you need to stay here quietly.” The security officer still wore an expression that suggested he wouldn’t believe a word.
At this moment, the interrogation room door opened.
A middle-aged man with a bushy beard walked in.
He showed his ID to the security officer, who immediately changed his expression and became respectful.
“Let us handle this; you don’t need to worry about it anymore,” the bushy-bearded man whispered to the security officer.
The security officer nodded and saluted before leaving.
“Chen Huaian?” The bushy-bearded man glanced at the identity information on the notebook, his gaze falling on Chen Huaian with a mix of scrutiny and wariness.
Damn, why does this guy look so handsome?
Too handsome, something fishy must be going on!
He now fully believed the incredible descriptions of Chen Huaian given by the three zeros.
Such a person was indeed peculiar.
He had already been to the hotel, and even from behind the door, he could sense that astonishing demonic aura! It could only be said that fortunately, the windows and doors were still closed, and the security guard hadn’t let anyone in randomly, which prevented the demon from escaping.
The talismans on the doors and windows were genuine.
They were important defenses restricting the demon’s departure and should not be touched.
“I’m innocent,” Chen Huaian said helplessly, thinking this bushy-bearded man was the superior of the security officer. He complained, “I woke up to find that girl covered in blood at my doorstep. As a good citizen, how could I not save her?”
“Haha, Mr. Chen Huaian, I completely believe you’re innocent.” The bushy-bearded man smiled sincerely.
“Is that so? Can I have my phone back then?” Chen Huaian looked eagerly at the bushy-bearded man.
It had been half a day since he last saw Qingran Baby, and he felt like ants were crawling on his skin.
Although surprised, the bushy-bearded man still returned the phone to Chen Huaian.
He watched as Chen Huaian opened the phone with delight, tapping on the pitch-black screen from all angles, growing more puzzled and suspicious.
Something was definitely off with this phone!
It might be a demon tool or a spirit item.
Since the revival of spiritual energy, apart from the continuous emergence of various demons and resurrectors, some special-function demon tools and spirit items also appeared. The former were often associated with demons, sometimes turning normal people into demons, being one of the sources of chaos. Some powerful demon tools even possessed their own intelligence, very cunning.
On the other hand, spirit items were different. Some were born alongside resurrectors, possessing incomprehensible functions.
Others were naturally grown, with diverse types, mainly consisting of spiritual herbs and weapons currently.
Both spirit items and demon tools were what resurrectors sought after.
As long as they could be utilized by humans, they would generate tremendous power.
Then, could Chen Huaian’s phone be a spirit item?
This possibility was quite high.
It completely aligned with the current observations.
The bushy-bearded man silently observed Chen Huaian. From his words and actions, it was clear that he was an ordinary person who knew nothing. Therefore, the doors, windows, and the talismans shown to Lin Lingling might originate from a spirit item.
Verifying whether this phone was a companion spirit item was simple.
Only the corresponding resurrector could use a companion spirit item.
Wild spirit items wouldn’t have such constraints.
After pondering for a while, he stood up and walked to Chen Huaian, using a gentle tone to say,
“Chen Huaian, your phone seems quite similar to mine, an old brand, right? Could I take a look?”
