Jedi City

Tang Qinghe glanced at Xiao Wu, who was still unconscious on the ground outside the house, then reached his right hand into his bosom, pretending to fumble around while silently chanting in his mind, "System, extract the Fixed-Pass Pill."

As his words fell, a jade bottle appeared in Tang Qinghe's hand.

He took out the jade bottle, uncorked it, and tipped it over. Inside, three round, white pills lay quietly.

Tang Qinghe crouched down, tapped Han San's acupoint, and Han San's mouth opened automatically. He took out one Fixed-Pass Pill, flicked his finger, and sent it into Han San's mouth. He tapped the acupoint again, forcing him to swallow. Then he put the other two pills away.

After doing this, a satisfied smile spread across Tang Qinghe's face.

At that moment, Xiao Wu's furious voice came from outside, "Tang Qinghe, you bastard, what the hell have you done to San-ge?!"

Tang Qinghe walked out of the house and looked over. He saw Xiao Wu clutching her chest with one hand and her waist with the other, barely managing to stand. The look she gave him was filled with resentment and a fear she herself hadn't even realized.

"Of course I knocked him unconscious. It's not like I could kill him, right?" Saying this, Tang Qinghe seemed to think of something, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sinister arc. "Besides, Han San's father is a Ghostly Demon. I wouldn't dare to casually beat him to death."

"Ghostly Demon?!"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened as if struck by lightning, her face turning pale. The entire person stood frozen in place, her eyes no longer holding any resentment toward Tang Qinghe, only fear. The terror of a Ghostly Demon made her mind go blank in an instant.

[Xiao Wu Fear +888888]

Tsk tsk, just hearing the words "Ghostly Demon" scared her half to death. As expected, the old rabbit's wool is really good for scaring people.

Tang Qinghe gloated inwardly.

After a moment, Xiao Wu came to her senses, realizing Tang Qinghe was lying to her, and retorted, "You're talking nonsense! San-ge said it himself, his father is just an ordinary blacksmith, not even a Spirit Master. How could he possibly be a Ghostly Demon?"

"Believe it or not." Tang Qinghe didn't explain anything. Laying down the bait was enough.

Before leaving, Tang Qinghe didn't forget to add another sentence, "If you don't believe me, ask him yourself when he wakes up. Of course, he probably won't admit it either. Besides, I'm the one who told you this, so he's even less likely to admit it."

Not long after Tang Qinghe left, Xiao Wu dragged the unconscious Han San out of Tang Qinghe's already abandoned home.

But at this moment, she no longer had her usual carefree attitude of fearing nothing under heaven.

Her heart was full of knots and entanglements.

If what Tang Qinghe said about Han San's father being a Ghostly Demon was true, then that would be one thing.

But if it was just a trick to scare her, then wasn't she living her whole life under the watchful eyes of a Ghostly Demon?

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's heart was filled with a chill of terror.

On the other side, Tang Qinghe had already arrived at Old Mu's house, and Old Jack was there too. Their wives and children had already gone into the city, so the two old men often gathered together.

If it wasn't at Old Mu's house, then it was at Old Jack's place.

Seeing Tang Qinghe arrive, Old Jack happily asked, "Oh, it's Qinghe! Why didn't Xiao San and Xiao Wu come with you? Didn't they go to find you?"

"They're sleeping over there." Tang Qinghe's house was at the very back of Spirit Stone Village, because the nearby residents had all moved to the city, and the old villagers had gone to work in the fields.

So when he fought with Han San and Xiao Wu, no one was around to witness it.

He looked at the two old men and said, "Since Uncle Jack is here too... Uncle Mu, Uncle Jack, I've already formed my Spirit Body and plan to enroll in the Jedi Academy to go out and train. I don't plan to stay in the village anymore. Before I leave, I don't have anything good to give you. Take these Million Year Spirit Stones and improve your lives."

As he spoke, he reached into his bosom, pretended to fumble, and activated the Four Symbols Ring, taking out two bags of Million Year Spirit Stones, each bag containing a hundred pieces.

The two old men didn't refuse. They only advised Tang Qinghe to be careful when he was out, while Old Mu sincerely hoped that Tang Qinghe would one day become a Spirit Saint or even a Spirit Demon, surpassing the strongest Spirit Body that Spirit Stone Village had ever produced, and leaving the village that had produced the Spirit King far behind.

This made Old Jack so excited he almost blew his beard and stared wide-eyed.

Tang Qinghe smiled and thus left the village where he had lived for six years.

He first went to the Jedi Academy and bribed the dormitory manager with five Gold Spirit Stones, asking him to take care of him for the next month. When he met a student from Jedi City, he said that "Jade Little Sister" was pregnant.

The dormitory manager didn't dare to offend Jade Little Sister's words and refused.

But when Tang Qinghe revealed his first Spirit Essence, which was at the Tiger Martial Spirit level, and added five more Gold Spirit Stones, saying that if anything happened, he only needed to hand him over, the dormitory manager ultimately couldn't resist Tang Qinghe's combination of intimidation and bribery.

He agreed.

Tang Qinghe left the Jedi Academy with satisfaction, looking forward to the scene when Jade Little Sister found out she was pregnant, causing a stir and a furious uproar, providing him with valuable emotional data.

He then went to the market, bought enough dry food and water, rented a carriage, and headed for Heaven Dou City.

His destination this time was not the academy, but Heaven Dou City itself.

Since the Jedi Academy could no longer provide anything, and Suotuo City was still too early, he basically wouldn't run into the Scattered Three families.

Therefore, he planned to go to Heaven Dou City, first find a random Spirit Master Academy to settle down in.

Then find a way to steal the old poison master's immortal herb garden.

Even if he couldn't steal it right away, he could at least figure out the location of the old poison master's herb garden.

When the time came for Qian Renxue to break into the Heaven Dou Empire's royal academy and be chased out by the old poison master, he would take advantage of that window to steal the old poison master's herb garden.

Just as Tang Qinghe was plotting in his mind about the old poison master's immortal herbs.

A system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

At the same time, in a certain desolate corner of the Imperial Dragon Village.

The sun was setting in the west. By the time Han San woke from his stupor, it was already near dusk.

Pain!

A bone-deep ache.

Cold!

A chill like an ice cellar.

He struggled in this agonizing torment for a long while.

Han San finally managed to force his eyes open, but what greeted his sight was Xiao Wu's delicate face, filled with worry.

Seeing him awake, Xiao Wu let out a faint sigh and said softly, "Han San, are you alright?"

She no longer called him "Brother," nor did she shout "Little San" as she used to.

Instead, she addressed him directly by his name, Han San.

Because she still wasn't certain whether Tang Qinghe had truly been deceiving her.

Han San, who had just regained consciousness, didn't notice Xiao Wu's change. He only felt a sharp sting in his mind as Tang Qinghe's agonizing memories flooded into his sea of consciousness.
