Melody of Forgetting Worries

The hall master revealed a look of disdain and said, "Where are all these reclusive experts? It's just rumors spreading like wildfire. Do the two helmsmen really believe it?"

He was a hall master among the evil cultivators, while the two black-robed figures were helmsmen, a level below him and far inferior in strength.

"Hall Master Mu is right," the fat helmsman chimed in with a smile.

He didn't care about any reclusive experts; it had nothing to do with him. Compared to that, building a good relationship with the hall master was more practical.

After all, Hall Master Mu was the highest-ranking official of the Evil God Palace's branch in the Southern Domain, and all the helms in the Southern Domain were under his jurisdiction.

The thin helmsman, the black-robed figure who had just asked Hall Master Mu, remained silent. He disagreed with Hall Master Mu, believing that there truly were reclusive experts in Tianren City.

Therefore, when he went to Tianren City today to distribute the Black Blood Pills, he was somewhat fearful, worried that a reclusive expert might disapprove of such actions and deal with him.

Hall Master Mu glanced at the thin helmsman, contempt in his heart, and said, "Alright, from now on, let those fellows from the Demon Tiger Clan attract the attention of the Tianren Sect and other forces in Tianren City. We can just wait here quietly."

In the Tianren Sect, Qin Tian and Qin Yudie's expressions turned grim upon hearing the words of the Dao Palace members.

After Qin Yudie returned from Xu Yan, she had informed Qin Tian about the appearance of the Black Blood Pills. Just now, the Dao Palace members had mentioned that they encountered more than one Mortal who had consumed the Black Blood Pills on their way to the Tianren Sect.

The situation was more dangerous than they had imagined.

Without hesitation, Qin Tian directly summoned many disciples of the Tianren Sect to head to Tianren City to deal with the Mortals who had consumed the Black Blood Pills.

He himself also set out, his objective being to find the evil cultivator who was spreading the Black Blood Pills.

Tianren City was a city protected by the Tianren Sect and under his jurisdiction. With such an incident happening in Tianren City now, he couldn't afford to relax.

In the backyard, Xu Yan was watering the plants in the medicinal garden. These were all Medicinal Herbs that could save lives, and they needed watering every day without any carelessness.

On a tree in the backyard, a small red bird was watching him, its eyes filled with scrutiny.

BOOM!

A loud noise erupted nearby, followed by a plume of dust, startling Xu Yan.

He looked up in the direction of the dust and frowned slightly. It seemed to be the location of the newly opened Roast Chicken shop.

Could it be an attack by someone who had consumed the Black Blood Pills?

Knock, knock, knock!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Yan returned to the outer hall and walked to the door, calling out, "Who is it?"

The situation in Tianren City was too dangerous now, making him afraid to open the door casually, lest another person like Physician Huang appear.

He still didn't know the reason for Physician Huang's sudden disappearance last time, and he couldn't count on the other party disappearing without cause again when danger struck.

"It's me, Yudie."

Xu Yan opened the door, pulled Qin Yudie inside, and then immediately shut the door.

He turned to look at Qin Yudie and asked, "Why are you here so soon?"

Qin Yudie said with a giggle, "I've already notified Grandpa! He's gone to catch those evil cultivators spreading the Black Blood Pills."

Initially, she would never mention anything related to cultivators in front of Xu Yan. However, Xu Yan had brought up some things himself later, so she wasn't as reserved anymore.

After all, with the invasion of evil cultivators, it was a special period, and special treatment was warranted.

Xu Yan poured Qin Yudie a cup of tea and said, "Miss Yudie, you've worked hard. Have some tea first."

Then, he poured himself and Su Hu'er each a cup of tea. As for the Golden Emperor Ant, its size was too small, so he ignored it.

Qin Yudie picked up her tea and took a sip, a blissful smile appearing on her face.

The power of the Great Dao contained within the tea entered her body and began to improve her physique. She also realized that since meeting Xu Yan, her physique had become much stronger than before.

Her cultivation talent had also greatly increased. If she was just a genius before, she was now a genius among geniuses.

Not to mention that no one in the Tianren Sect could compare to her; even among the younger generation in the entire Southern Domain, there were probably very few who could match her talent.

Xu Yan took a sip of his own tea and said, "Miss Yudie, those evil cultivators must be very dangerous. If Mr. Qin Tian can't handle them, it's better not to force yourself to act."

He knew that Qin Tian was Qin Yudie's grandfather, and he felt that Qin Tian wasn't a particularly powerful Cultivator.

If he were a powerful Cultivator, how could he get drunk after drinking a bowl of wine that was almost like water? And how could he be so bad at playing chess?

He knew that even a Golden Emperor Ant could fight him for ninety-nine rounds.

Qin Yudie placed her teacup on the table and said, "I know. I've conveyed Senior Xu's words to Grandpa exactly as they were. Grandpa will know what he's doing."

She was very happy inwardly that Senior Xu cared so much about her and her grandfather, and must have completely accepted them.

Xu Yan nodded and said, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to hear me play the zither? I'll play a piece for you now."

The situation in Tianren City was very chaotic and filled with a sense of crisis. He couldn't intervene, so he could only play the zither to fulfill Qin Yudie's wish.

Qin Yudie's eyes lit up with surprise, and she happily agreed, "Okay! Yudie has always been looking forward to Senior Xu's zither music."

She never expected to hear Senior Xu play the zither this time; it was simply a tremendous opportunity.

If Qin Tian hadn't gone to catch the evil cultivators, she would have even wanted to call Qin Tian over to listen to Senior Xu play the zither together.

Xu Yan saw Qin Yudie's joyful expression and smiled along, his mood improving considerably.

Then he went into the inner hall to retrieve the Floating World Zither and came to the backyard with Qin Yudie.

Xu Yan sat under the tree as before, his hands on the zither, and began to play.

Melody of Forgetting Worries.

As the zither music emerged, Qin Yudie felt an immense sense of peace, and all the troubles and worries in her heart vanished.

In Tianren City, those who had taken the Black Blood Pill found the dark energy within them rapidly disappear, and they returned to normal, not dying.

Those who had intended to take the Black Blood Pill instantly abandoned the idea, even finding it unbelievable that they had ever considered consuming the pill.

Those who had obtained the Black Blood Pill all handed the pills over to the Tianren Sect disciples handling the matter in Tianren City. Within minutes, the entire Tianren City returned to normal.

And everyone's mood was surprisingly good, with no trace of the previous panic and fear.

"Third Elder, this is the zither music!"

Hu Li also heard the zither music and, in his excitement, crushed the last pill in his hand.

But he paid no attention to the pill, his face filled with rapturous delight.

The Third Elder of the Demon Tiger Clan also closed his eyes, listening intently to the zither music that seemed to descend from the heavens.

The displeasure in his heart quickly vanished, and he felt incredibly light and unprecedentedly relaxed and at ease.
