"No, there’s also those four disciples..."
Suddenly recalling Su Xing’er’s four siblings, Xia Hong’s expression froze slightly, but he soon relaxed his expression.
He hadn’t emerged from the Blood Miasma Plain, so Cai Qiu would most likely think he was dead. Without him as a master, Su Xing’er’s four siblings naturally couldn’t enjoy the previous good treatment anymore.
But supposedly without deep-seated hatred, Cai Qiu wouldn’t necessarily make things difficult for them, so their situation might not be good, but safety shouldn’t be a problem.
"Having given them such a fortune, whether they end up dragons or worms ultimately depends on themselves. There’s no need to go back to Cai Qiu to find them!"
After reviewing his physical condition with closed eyes, Xia Hong immediately shook his head, letting go of the thought of finding the four.
Judging by the current state of his bones, although the Dan Poison could be confirmed absent, whether it affects subsequent cultivation speed can only be confirmed after formal cultivation.
The problem is, in his current physical condition, even normal cultivation is impossible.
Defeating six Beast Emperors is no easy feat!
Putting aside the damage to the flesh, the injuries caused by the six Beast Emperors all penetrated into the bones, and still, a large amount of Tribulation Qi from the elements of wood, water, fire, and earth remains inside Xia Hong. He’s fortunate to withstand it thanks to his incredible strength; if any random mid-stage Xianyang tried, they’d likely be dead by now.
"There are no Holy Vein Pills left, so I’ll have to make do with Jade Wound Pills for now. I can’t even exert half of my strength, I need to take time to heal..."
Xia Hong took out a Jade Wound Pill, swallowed it, and sensed briefly, then immediately shook his head repeatedly.
"Though it’s a level five Healing Pill, it only restored this much, and to fully recover will take at least three months of rest. Perhaps I should go to Yanling County to spend some money on better Healing Pills..."
A faint urge grew in Xia Hong’s heart, but recalling his recent encounter with Chu Tianxu in the Blood Miasma Plain, he instantly dismissed the idea of going to Yanling County.
Safety first, lacking strength, it’s better not to roam aimlessly!
"Oh..."
Thinking of spending money on medicine, Xia Hong suddenly remembered something and quickly retrieved a silver invitation card from the Yellow Mustard Bag.
The card was precisely the invitation to Yang City he had received two years ago at the Lin Chu County Mansion.
"Two years ago, the invitation, that’s pletely missed now!"
He remembered very clearly, the opening date written on the Yang City invitation card was December 9th of Caiqiu Calendar Year 297, nearly two years have passed, so of course, it is considered pletely missed.
Xia Hong gently shook his head, slightly disappointed as he opened the invitation card.
Upon seeing it, he was instantly stunned.
[This year’s Yang City will officially open on December 25th, please keep the invitation safe. The entry secret method will automatically appear, and those interested in entering can follow the secret method to enter.]
[Yang City has a large number of Washing Marrow Pills, Top-grade Bone Shedding Pills, and other various treasures for sale.]
The two lines of text on the card were almost identical to what he saw two years ago.
However, the date had changed...
"I couldn’t have remembered wrong, it was definitely December 9th, meaning the market date changed on its own, so as long as I don’t use this invitation, it will always exist and even alter the date based on each year’s specific market opening time."
This is indeed a bit magical!
Xia Hong gazed at the invitation card, with continual surprise in his eyes.
Two years ago, upon receiving the invitation, he immediately tested it with Solidified Fire Oil and Yellow Candle, revealing no trace of Deceitful Object Energy.
"Just right, take a look and see what’s really going on!"
Xia Hong put away the invitation card and quickly finalized the next plan:
"Qingwu Village, judging by personnel position, should be Chen Cang’s Slave Village, 60 kilometers south of Blood Miasma Plain, and over 70 kilometers from the Yanling County. First, recover from injuries here, then stealthily enter Yanling County to take a look."
As the plan was settled, the blood crust and necrotic skin membrane on Xia Hong finally were scrubbed clean.
The two busy young girls breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, but upon lowering their heads to look at Xia Hong lying in the bath barrel, the admiration and passion in their eyes were noticeably more blatant than before.
When Xia Hong first arrived, he was only clothed in a piece of Beast Skin, not only was his hair a tangled mess, but he was also covered in filth all over, with more than a dozen scars visible, and any unmarred area was entirely blood crusted. It was impossible to find a patch of intact skin, that wretched and disheveled appearance was beyond description, truly like a severely injured beggar near death;
But now, after washing off the grime, he was transformed instantly.
Underneath Xia Hong’s blood crust was skin delicate and fair like a newborn, but sadly this delicacy was marred by dozens of differently colored terrifying scars, provoking inexplicable heartache seeing it;
The water level just covered his solid chest, and his wet, yet unarranged, ink-colored long hair clung to the barrel edge, with strands sticking to the sides of his slender neck, further accentuating skin like jade;
Water drops slid down his sharp jawline, along the curve of his collarbone and into the water, his face appeared to be in his early twenties, with such handsome features it made one hold their breath—sword-like eyebrows flew to the temples, a nose high as peaks, lips thin yet distinctly lined, resembling a piece of art meticulously crafted by heaven.
Although being handsome was secondary!
Most captivating was the half-closed eyes, despite having long lashes damp with moisture, those eyes held an dominating confidence capable of seeing through everything and a piercing sharpness that still shot out from time to time, making the two girls slightly nervous, one look caused them to lower their gaze in submission.
