"Master, I want to go to Heavenly South Domain." Qin Tiexin looked at Luo Ling firmly.

Physician Xu glanced at the two of them, put away the bronze mirror, put the severed arm back into the jade box, and quietly stepped back behind the medicine cabinet, leaving the consulting room to the master and apprentice.

Qin Tiexin took a deep breath, his thoughts were agitated by these three words.

Three years ago, he entered the world of immortality from the mortal battlefield. His original purpose was never to become stronger, to break through, or to stand out. He came to find people.

Lin Feng.

His comrade-in-arms who fought side by side on the Great Xuan battlefield, the person who fought side by side with him and finally disappeared on the battlefield and even his body was not found.

He promised Lin Feng in his heart that he would bring his sword back to Heavenly South Domain's Lin Household for him. The sword was currently lying in the deepest part of his storage ring.

It took him three years to become a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, from a handyman disciple to an outer disciple, from an outer disciple to an inner disciple, and from Body Refining First Layer to the Qi and Blood Realm.

He stayed at Azure Xuan Region by accident, but he thought about it every day.

However, the cost of the teleportation array is 10,000 Spirit Stone, and the cultivation level requires Foundation Establishment Realm to start. These two thresholds have blocked him for too long.

Now that he has broken through the Qi and Blood Realm, he has enough Spirit Stone in his hand, and all the clues in front of him point to Heavenly South Domain, where the Third Realm medical practitioner is, and Lin Household of Lin Feng is also there.

"I want to go to Heavenly South Domain."

He said it again, this time in a calmer tone than the first time, but more firmly.

"Master, I am not a Azure Xuan Region person. Three years ago, I walked out of the mortal battlefield and entered the world of immortality just to go to Heavenly South Domain. One of my comrades disappeared on the battlefield, and I promised to return his sword to his Lineage. His Lineage is at Heavenly South Domain."

Luo Ling looked at him in silence for a long time. Then she breathed out gently, with a helpless curve at the corner of her mouth.

"No wonder." She shook her head, "You have never mentioned your family members or where your hometown is in the past three years."

Qin Tiexin lowered his head and said nothing.

Luo Ling patted his shoulder and placed his palm on his left shoulder with a slightly lighter force than usual. "Go ahead. It's not like I won't come back. I'll go with you then and go to Heavenly South Domain to find the Third Realm doctor to reattach the arm. By the way, your wish is fulfilled. Is one year enough?"

"That's enough."

"Okay. I'll go find True Person Ling Shuang tomorrow to ask for leave. But Wind and Snow Pass doesn't have a teleportation array directly connected to Heavenly South Domain. It's only at the Divine Sword Sect. We have to go there."

Qin Tiexin raised his head, moved his lips, and finally said only three words: "Thank you, Master."

Luo Ling waved his hand and walked towards the door.

Qin Tiexin stood there with his left hand on his chest. The weight of the sword in the storage ring seemed to be felt across the layers of space.

After three years, he finally had the chance to go to Heavenly South Domain.

Lin Feng, are you still alive?

The procedure for applying for leave is simpler than Qin Tiexin expected.

After Ling Shuang heard his reasons, he stamped Ice and Snow Pavilion's spiritual seal on the approval slip and pushed it in front of him.

"Take good treatment and come back after you recover. Wind and Snow Pass will always have a place for you."

Qin Tiexin put away the approval slip, bowed, and exited the tower.

In the next three days, he dealt with the matters that needed to be dealt with one by one.

First, he returned to No. C No. 7, which still contained several tools that he was accustomed to using before, including a hammer, two carving knives, a pair of iron pliers, and a chopping board. He put the tools one by one into the storage ring, and sorted the scraps piled in the corner of the refinery room. The usable ones were left to the next resident, and the unusable ones were cleared away.

I took one last look at the refining furnace. There were still gray-white embers from the last quenching in the furnace.

Qin Tiexin turned around and looked at his empty right sleeve, wondering when he would be able to start refining weapons again.

He closed the furnace door and handed the key back to the steward.

Most of the other things are in the storage ring, so you don't have to be too busy. You just need to pack a few sets of clothes.

In addition, he also exchanged hundreds of Refined Blood Pill in Wind and Snow Pass's alchemy pavilion. Although the effect of ordinary Refined Blood Pill on his cultivation was somewhat reduced, it was still far better than ordinary Demon Beast flesh and blood. There is no harm in buying more of this kind of thing that is only produced by Wind and Snow Pass.

In the remaining days, Qin Tiexin went to Wind and Snow Pass's training square to test his strength.

Bang!

As he punched the force measuring stone hard with his left hand, the whole piece of Shitou shook, and a number that looked very exaggerated but very reasonable popped out.

[forty-eight thousand catties]

It is more than double that of Body Tempering Peak, and has basically reached the standard strength value of the Late Qi and Blood Realm. Even if only one left hand is left, facing those Foundation Establishment monks who do not have strong defenses, it is only a matter of one blow.

Put it this way.

Qin Tiexin shook Edgeless in his hand. On the day he broke through the Qi and Blood Realm, Edgeless did not become "lighter" as his strength increased. Instead, it was heavy and still fit in his hand.

"In other words, you weigh at least 40,000 pounds now." Qin Tiexin said to Edgeless, "What happened to you?"

After returning from the blood pool, something was wrong with Edgeless. He was much heavier than before. But now it seems that he has not just become "heavier", but has become more adaptable to his own strength.

You know, Qin Tiexin has not done any processing for Edgeless in the past few days, but its weight suddenly jumped from the previous 20,000 kilograms, doubling directly to 40,000 kilograms.

"Forget it, as long as it's still you, it's not a bad thing after all."

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. One day you will figure it out.

Qin Tiexin's left hand clenched the handle of Edgeless's knife, and it seemed that he could feel the "joy" emotion coming from the knife.

On the day of departure, it was rare for the sky to clear up over Wind and Snow Pass. The gray clouds cracked a crack, and sunlight leaked through the crack, shining on the bloodstains on the city wall that had not yet dried, giving a dark golden sheen.

When Qin Tiexin carried Edgeless to the shuttle platform outside the west gate, Li Yun and Nangong Yao were already waiting.

I don't know how long they had been here in advance. A few strands of Li Yun's hair were blown away by the wind, and Nangong Yao stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the city gate.

"Junior brother!" Nangong Yao spotted him first and waved to him vigorously.

Qin Tiexin walked over, and before he could speak, Nangong Yao had already stuffed something into his hand.

"Take it."

It is a pair of boots. The upper is made of some kind of dark blue soft leather. The tentacles are smooth and delicate. The soles of the boots are engraved with Spirit Rune, and a dark golden eye array the size of a fingernail is embedded on each side of the upper.

"Upper-Grade Law Artifact, I made it specially for you. The Spirit Rune on the sole of the boot is Lightness Formation, which can increase speed and jumping ability. There are two small wind attack arrays embedded in the formation holes on the upper part of the boot. When needed, you can activate it by pouring spiritual power into it. Don't you want to practice leg skills? How can you practice without a pair of good boots."

Nangong Yao raised his chin slightly when he said this, with an expression of "Sister, I reward you".

Qin Tiexin looked down at the boots in his hands, and lightly touched the eye of the boot with his fingertips. It felt warm to the touch. Nangong Yao must have tested the formation several times, and the spiritual power in the eye of the boot has not completely cooled down yet.

"Thank you, senior sister."

"Also." Nangong Yao took out a Jade Slip from his arms and patted it on his chest, "This is what True Person Zhou Heng asked me to pass on to you. It contains some small methods of Divine Sense training and attack. He admires you very much. Yes, I heard that you were going to travel far and asked me to send it to you. Although you Divine Sense have average talent, a good foundation will always be useful, as well as an additional attack method. True Person Zhou Heng never takes the initiative to leave Cultivation Method to others, so you are an exception."

"Thank you for me True Person Zhou."

Qin Tiexin was very surprised. He and True Person Zhou had nothing in common. He didn't expect that True Person Zhou Heng actually remembered him and gave him such a precious thing.

He took Jade Slip and put it away solemnly.

Seeing that he had put it away, Nangong Yao took a deep breath, and his tone suddenly became serious. "Junior brother, I am now learning Divine Sense's scheduling from True Person Zhou Heng. True Person Zhou Heng said that I have a very good talent. You should be careful outside, don't always be brave, and don't always rush to the front alone. If you have anything to do, listen to your master and senior brother, do you hear me?"

"I heard it." Qin Tiexin smiled and nodded, but his eyes were slightly moist.

Li Yun has been standing quietly by the side, waiting for Nangong Yao to finish speaking before taking a step forward.

Her hair today was braided into a loose side braid, hanging in front of her shoulders, with a few strands of hair swaying gently in the wind.

She didn't say much, she just took out a Storage Bag from her sleeve and put it into Qin Tiexin's hand without any explanation.

Qin Tiexin opened Storage Bag and took a look. There were neatly stacked Lower-Grade Spirit Stone inside. A rough scan of at least two thousand pieces.

Part of it was the combat reward Li Yun had received in the past few days when she participated in the suppression of Devil Race. She took out all the gains, added her own savings, and scraped together a total of two thousand yuan.

"Too many." Qin Tiexin pushed Storage Bag back.

Li Yun didn't answer, took half a step back slightly, and retracted his fingers.

"Junior Brother Qin, there is a saying in the mortal world, a poor family is rich. When you arrive at Heavenly South Domain, you have to find a doctor, practice, and eat." Her tone was flat, as if she was saying a matter of course, "I can't use so much in Wind and Snow Pass."

Qin Tiexin looked at the heavy Storage Bag in his hand, and then at Li Yun.

She didn't look at him, her eyes fell on the city wall not far behind his shoulder. The expression on her face was as cold as usual, but the roots of her ears were a little red.

"Put it away." After Li Yun said these two words, he stopped talking and took a step back to stand side by side with Nangong Yao.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Li. I will repay you double when I come back. You can't refuse then." Qin Tiexin took Storage Bag into his arms and saluted them both solemnly. "I will be back within a year. Please take care of yourself Wind and Snow Pass."

Nangong Yao nodded vigorously, Li Yun hummed slightly, moved his lips, and finally just said, "Be careful on the road."

Luo Ling was waiting not far away. The flying sword under his feet was already suspended in mid-air, and the sword was glowing with a light red aura. Qin Tiexin walked over, turned over and stood on the back seat of the flying sword.

Although it is said that Foundation Establishment Realm can fly with a sword, Qin Tiexin has not had time to practice flying with Edgeless, so it is safer to ride on Master's flying sword.

The flying sword slowly rose, and the two figures on the platform outside the west gate became smaller and smaller.

Nangong Yao stood on tiptoe and waved to him, so loudly that her whole body shook. Li Yun stood next to her, not waving, but slightly raising her head, her eyes rising little by little with the flying sword.

The wind blew away the strands of hair on her side braids, and she raised her hands to clasp them, her movements very slowly, her eyes looking far away.

The flying sword rose into the clouds, and the outline of Wind and Snow Pass turned into a blurry silhouette in the gray-white mist. The Spirit Rune light network on the city wall was still glowing blue-white.
