Chapter 36: Have You Heard of the Eternal Youth Pill?

Qin Yu held the wolf cub in his arms, wandering aimlessly in the depths of the Land of Beast Burial. With the Wolf King following closely, there was no danger along the way.

Compared to the reluctant Wolf King, Ling Yao seemed determined to follow Qin Yu.

"With your cultivation, you must be considered a prodigy in the Jade Pool Sect, haha. With a prodigy from the Jade Pool Sect escorting me, I'm probably the only one who gets this treatment." Qin Yu chatted animatedly along the way, but he was secretly anxious. He didn't know how long Ling Yao would follow him. If this stalemate continued, he would not only have no time to cultivate but would also waste precious time.

"Impatient, are we? It's too late. I have enough time to waste with you," Ling Yao glanced at Qin Yu and said coldly.

Did she not want to leave sooner? But Xiong Tatian and Li Tianji were nowhere to be found. Her only goal was to capture Qin Yu and force him to reveal their whereabouts. However, Qin Yu held the wolf cub hostage, preventing her from using force. Helpless, she could only follow Qin Yu. Of course, she constantly thought about how she would torture and kill Qin Yu after forcing Xiong Tatian and Li Tianji to reveal their locations.

"I'm telling you, I only met those two after entering the Land of Beast Burial. Do you believe me? I don't know where they're going either," Qin Yu said.

Ling Yao sneered, "Whether you believe it or not, what difference does it make?"

"You're cultivating the Jade Pool Dao Art, aren't you?" Qin Yu changed the subject again, trying to find a weakness in Ling Yao.

Ling Yao scoffed, "Do you think I'll let you go just because of that? You won't shake me off until I capture them." If she hadn't promised her junior sisters face-to-face, Ling Yao wouldn't have wanted to waste any more time.

"Do you want to know why I asked about Zou Xueqing?" Qin Yu's eyes darted around as he asked.

Ling Yao remained silent, but she was indeed curious. She had only learned about the Ancestral Master Zou Xueqing from ancient texts and didn't know how Qin Yu knew about her.

"Don't you want to know? Then forget it," Qin Yu glanced at Ling Yao and said indifferently.

Ling Yao pretended not to care, her expression cold.

"Oh right, why do you always wear a veil on such a hot day? Could it be that you're too ugly to be seen?" Qin Yu suddenly stopped and stared at Ling Yao.

Ling Yao remained silent.

"That must be it. It seems your talent is truly astonishing, otherwise, the Jade Pool Sect wouldn't have accepted you as an exception. It's a pity that no matter how amazing your talent is, your appearance must be your greatest pain. No matter how you change your appearance, you can't change your heart, because you know what you look like..." Qin Yu tried to provoke Ling Yao.

"I heard the Jade Pool Sect has a technique called the Celestial Maiden Dance. I wonder if you've learned it? How about this, perform the Celestial Maiden Dance for me. Perhaps, I'll be captivated by it regardless of your appearance..." Qin Yu stared at Ling Yao's beautiful eyes, a playful smile on his face.

Ling Yao stared coldly at Qin Yu, feeling both shocked and furious. She was shocked that Qin Yu knew about the Celestial Maiden Dance in the Jade Pool Sect, and angry that he wanted her to perform it knowing it.

One must know that each disciple of the Jade Pool Sect could only perform the Celestial Maiden Dance for one person in their lifetime, and that person would be their lifelong Dao companion.

"How do you know?" Ling Yao suppressed her inner thoughts and asked coldly.

"I know more than just that. Oh right, I heard there's an Ancestor Ape that died here. Let's go take a look," Qin Yu said, seeing Ling Yao's curiosity piqued. He then looked at the Wolf King and noticed a flicker of fear in its eyes. It reflexively glanced in a certain direction.

"No! That's a forbidden area. Don't go there!" the Wolf King said in a low voice.

"Forbidden area?" Qin Yu's eyes flickered. The direction the Wolf King was looking was the opposite of where Li Tianji had pointed. Could it be... that Xiong Tatian's big mouth was right? Was the Dao Mansion in the opposite direction of where Li Tianji pointed?

Thinking of this, Qin Yu's eyes flickered. According to Li Tianji, the Dao Mansion should open in about a month. Perhaps he could use that opportunity to shake off the two of them.

Immediately, Qin Yu, holding the wolf cub, walked directly in one direction.

Ling Yao's chest rose and fell slightly. She looked at Qin Yu's retreating figure, her beautiful eyes filled with anger and killing intent. Over the past few days, every time Qin Yu piqued her curiosity, he would change the subject. This infuriated Ling Yao. Accustomed to being doted on in the Jade Pool Sect, encountering someone as shameless as Qin Yu made her feel exceptionally uncomfortable. However, her stubborn nature refused to yield.

Ling Yao hadn't realized that the number of times she had been angered in the past few days exceeded the total in her previous twenty-odd years.

"Don't give me a chance, or else, just you wait and see how I deal with you," Ling Yao said hatefully.

Three days later.

Qin Yu stood under a large tree in the depths of the Land of Beast Burial, looking at the boundless rolling hills ahead with a look of surprise.

Judging by the Wolf King's expression, this should be the forbidden area it mentioned, the place where the Ancestor Ape fell. But what shocked Qin Yu was the dense dark clouds swirling above the hills, casting a dim light on the land ahead. Even from the periphery, he could smell a foul odor emanating from within.

More importantly, Qin Yu felt extremely uncomfortable standing here, his pores involuntarily standing on end, as if a peerless fierce beast was lurking deep within the hills!

"Don't go in! This is a forbidden area!" the Wolf King said solemnly.

"Why? What's inside?" Qin Yu took a deep breath and asked.

"I'm not entirely sure. It's passed down in my Azure Wolf clan. They say this was originally the Dao Mansion of a peerless devil. That Ancestor Ape probably died inside," the Wolf King said in a low voice, fear flickering in its dark green eyes.

"There really is a Dao Mansion?" Qin Yu's heart leaped with joy, and he entered the hilly area without the Wolf King noticing.

"Roar! If you're going in, give me back my cub!" the Wolf King roared in a low voice. Qin Yu's life or death was none of its concern. If Qin Yu took the cub inside, he would also endanger it!

"Wolf King, do you think I'm seeking death? I just want to take a look and won't go deep. I'll come out soon," Qin Yu said as he ran at full speed. If he abandoned the wolf cub, the Wolf King would surely hunt him down, and he needed the cub to keep Ling Yao in check.

"Roar!" The Wolf King roared in anger but did not chase after Qin Yu. Instead, it paced back and forth, staring at Qin Yu with its eyes, a mixture of anger and struggle, seemingly extremely wary of the hills.

The Wolf King's roar caused the wolves behind it to howl at the sky, and for a moment, wolf howls echoed through the depths of the Land of Beast Burial.

Ling Yao watched Qin Yu enter, a sharp glint flashing in her beautiful eyes. The lips beneath her veil curled slightly, and she directly stepped into the air, chasing after him.

"Run, I'd like to see how far you can run," Ling Yao said with a cold laugh, stepping through the air and looking down at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu slowed down after a short burst of speed. He glanced at Ling Yao in the sky and said, "I wasn't planning to run. I just wanted to come in and take a look."

"Die." The resentment and anger that had been suppressed for a long time erupted instantly, and Ling Yao directly summoned a spiritual sword and slashed at Qin Yu.

"Do you still want to know why I asked about your Ancestral Master Zou Xueqing?" Qin Yu suddenly said.

The sword, slashing down from the air, stopped abruptly. Ling Yao stared at Qin Yu, her chest heaving violently.

"Fine, if you don't want to know, then forget it. Oh right, have you heard of the Eternal Youth Pill? That's a pill that can keep you young forever... Well, you don't want it either. Oh right, if you kill me now, I'll definitely crush the wolf cub... The Wolf King is still watching. Although it respects your status, if you force its cub to death, it might fight you to the death... Then a prodigy from the Jade Pool Sect will die in the Land of Beast Burial... If I were you, even if I wanted to make a move, it wouldn't be now. Besides... don't you want to find my two friends?" Qin Yu said a lot, his heart pounding. If Ling Yao acted recklessly, he would truly be finished.

Being constantly followed by Ling Yao and the Wolf King made Qin Yu feel restricted. He came to the Land of Beast Burial to cultivate. He didn't want to reach the deadline without even breaking through to the Ninth Level of the Martial Realm, which was why he resorted to this tactic.

His earlier intention of piquing Ling Yao's curiosity was to reduce the possibility of her attacking him now.

Ling Yao felt the anger in her heart about to burst from her chest. Seeing Qin Yu's composed expression, she wished she could kill him on the spot.

However, everything Qin Yu said made Ling Yao's heart flutter, especially the pill that granted eternal youth...

After taking several deep breaths, Ling Yao suppressed the killing intent within her and stared intently at Qin Yu, saying coldly, "I'll give you a hundred breaths of time!"

Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Why don't we talk as we walk?"
