Coming Clean with Liu Qingwu

"We've finally arrived in Great Qin..."

Chen Changming sighed, a look of relief appearing on his face.

The journey was fraught with danger; without a certain level of experience and luck, he would have perished in the vast ocean long ago.

Liu Qingwu has been in a coma for the past few days.

Chen Changming did not give her any Healing Pill, because he did not want Liu Qingwu to see his methods and the Demon Spirit Vine.

Living in a treacherous and chaotic world, with all sorts of open and covert attacks that are impossible to guard against, he has always been extremely cautious. Even so, he sometimes still encounters very serious crises.

Now that we're almost at the Great Qin, it's time to give Liu Qingwu a Healing Pill.

After collecting the Demon Spirit Vine, he found the best Healing Pill he had and gave it to Liu Qingwu.

If Miss Liu can wake up, she will be able to take better Healing Pill from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Chen Changming sped up, and two hours later, Yu Fei to the coastline.

The seaside was right next to the mountains, and there was no dock. He flew into the mountains and, after searching for a while, finally found a small village that looked like a paradise a hundred miles away from the coastline.

Chen Changming spent some gold and silver to stay at a villager's house.

One day later.

Liu Qingwu has woken up.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, where is this?"

Liu Qingwu glanced around the simple room, her eyes filled with confusion. Her lips were dry and cracked, her complexion was haggard, and her voice was weak and feeble.

"Senior, this is the Great Qin."

Chen Changming smiled slightly.

Great Qin?

Liu Qingwu was startled. She immediately remembered that she had been seriously injured by five cloaked men on the Void Airship.

He had been unconscious at the time, and when he woke up he was in the Great Qin?

What happened in between?

"Fellow Daoist Luo, please enlighten Qingwu."

Liu Qingwu's face was slightly serious, but also revealed a look of longing.

"Those five also wanted to kill me, but I happened to have some means to block them. They then adopted a strategy of mutual destruction, activating some kind of treasure, which exploded in a burst of lightning. The explosion was very powerful, disintegrating the entire Floating Airship. Some of the people from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion died in the explosion, and others perished in the mouths of wind-elemental Demon Beast."

Chen Changming paused, his expression serious, and said, "Those five people are no ordinary individuals. They were planted by a guy named Yin Spirit Child, who planted Yin Corpse Seed. They must have already transformed into Yin Corpse Puppet Body. I smelled that stench of corpses as soon as I boarded the ship."

"The Yin Corpse Seed?"

Liu Qingwu's expression changed; she had naturally heard of this evil Cultivation Method before.

Chen Changming nodded solemnly.

Given what has happened, he should let Liu Qingwu know that her second sister colluded with Yin Spirit Child to assassinate her on the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Floating Airship.

This behavior should also cross the Liu Family's bottom line.

Chen Changming also wanted to use the Liu Family to deal with this Yin Spirit Child. Even if he couldn't eliminate him, creating some trouble would be beneficial to him.

After revealing the truth today, he will leave Liu Qingwu, change his appearance, and begin cultivating alone in the Spiritual Qi rich territory of the Great Qin.

From then on, he never appeared before Liu Qingwu in this form again.

This is equivalent to him vanishing into thin air. For Liu Qingwu, there will never be another "Luo Shan". Even if the two meet again in the Great Qin, Chen Changming will be a completely different person.

"You, Liu Ruyan, you actually colluded with evil cultivators!"

Liu Qingwu's eyes flashed with a cold light, clearly indicating that she was also extremely angry.

A moment later.

Liu Qingwu calmed down, then thought of a very important question and stared intently at Chen Changming: "By the way, Fellow Daoist Luo, after the spaceship disintegrated, was it you who led me through the treacherous seas to Great Qin?"

"Yes."

Chen Changming clasped his hands in a fist salute and smiled gently, "Senior, now that you've awakened, you should recuperate in this small mountain village. I have other matters to attend to and must leave now."

Liu Qingwu was about to try and persuade him to stay when she suddenly realized that Luo Shan's haste to leave was probably because he wanted to distance himself from her. Once the people from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion arrived to investigate, he would likely find it difficult to extricate himself from the explosion of the Floating Airship.

"I misjudged him before; this Fellow Daoist Luo is even stronger than me..." Liu Qingwu sighed inwardly, feeling extremely fortunate.

If it weren't for the intervention of the mysterious expert, Fellow Daoist Luo, she would have died at the hands of those five people long ago.

Liu Qingwu took a deep breath and said very frankly, "Fellow Daoist Luo, you are a cautious person, and I understand your meaning. In any case, you have saved me again this time. If you encounter any difficulties in the Great Qin in the future, please come to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to find me, and I will do my best to help you."

"Don't worry, I don't know any of your secrets, and I never want to know."

Finally, she added one more sentence.

Chen Changming nodded silently, then turned and left decisively.

"Fellow Daoist, Qingwu will never forget your kindness..."

Liu Qingwu watched Chen Changming's figure disappear through the window, her gaze gradually hardening.

After leaving the village, Chen Changming went deep into the mountains, found a secluded place, and began to change his appearance, transforming into a middle-aged man, while also altering his aura.

He changed into a scholar's robe, took off on his sword, and flew alone towards the southeast.

Upon checking in, he had already inquired about the recent situation of the city from the villagers.

To the southeast, there is a relatively small Clear Water City.

Upon entering the city, Chen Changming bought a map at a shop and then left.

After looking at the map, Chen Changming had a preliminary plan in mind.

Now that he has no shortage of Cultivation Resources, his primary task after entering the higher-level Great Qin territory is to go into seclusion to cultivate and improve his realm.

After his assassination attempt in Qiyun City, Chen Changming's thinking changed somewhat. This time, he didn't plan to live in the cave abode within the city, but instead went to Yellow Sprout Mountain to open up cave abode to live in.

Yellow Sprout Mountain is quite far from Clear Water City, more than 50,000 li away. Yellow Sprout Mountain is a very large mountain range that stretches for thousands of li and is home to many Demon Beast.

Mountains with many Demon Beast generally have a high concentration of Spiritual Qi energy.

Establishing cave abode here would allow the Demon Spirit Vine and the Silver Thread Heart-Devouring Insect to cultivate more effectively, while also ensuring a plentiful supply of Demon Beast to eat.

However, to establish cave abode in the mountains, one must purchase concealment and defensive formations to avoid being disturbed by Demon Beast.

"There's a medium-sized city near Yellow Sprout Mountain called Cangwu City. Just go there to buy the formation..."

Having made up his mind, Chen Changming put away the map and flew straight to Cangwu City.

He traveled on his sword, stopping to swallow a few Pigeon Egg when his Law Power was half depleted, circulating his Golden Rosy Light, and continuing his journey once his Law Power was restored.

About twenty days later.

He endured wind and dew along the way, finally arriving outside Cangwu City.

Although both were medium-sized cities, Cangwu City of the Great Qin was twice the size of the cities of the Zhao Kingdom and Chu Kingdom, which shows the prosperity of the Great Qin.

As they approached the city gate, Chen Changming landed and walked into the city.

"Foundation Establishment Level Two, pay two Spirit Stone."

At the city gate, guards at both gates blocked the way.

Do I have to pay Spirit Stone to enter the city?

Chen Changming shook his head. So many cultivators enter every day; the entrance fees alone could earn him countless Spirit Stone.

After paying two Spirit Stone, Chen Changming entered the city.

The streets are wide and straight, stretching into the distance, lined with tall buildings and filled with all sorts of taverns and shops, giving one a sense of dazzling abundance and overwhelming variety.

"Please wait a moment, senior."

While admiring the scenery within the Great Qin City, someone suddenly called out from behind.
