"Miss Hu, do you want to join us and venture to Holy Mountain?" Lu Qing asked.
"Uh-huh." Hu Zezhi nodded.
After saying this, she relaxed and looked at Lu Qing calmly.
"But we might encounter dangers on our way to Holy Mountain, and besides, Miss Hu, haven't you been wanting to study under Xuanxin Sect?"
"My leg is broken now, and it seems impossible for it to heal anyti soon. I surely won't be able to make it for the Xuanxin Sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony.
Even if I forced myself to attend, I would just get eliminated. I'd rather not embarrass myself."
Hu Zezhi spoke earnestly as she watched Lu Qing.
"So, I think it's better to follow Mr. Lu to Holy Mountain, to gain so exposure.
That way, at least this trip to Central State wouldn't be in vain.
As for dangers, traveling always involves risks.
Even people as close as relatives might harbor evil intents, waiting to stab you in the back at any ti."
At this point, Hu Zezhi's face turned sowhat sorrowful.
Clearly, the near-death experience right after leaving Azure Dragon City, at the hands of the red-clothed woman and her group, had greatly impacted her.
"So, Mr. Lu, elder doctor, I hope you can give this chance to follow you.
If there really is any danger that implicates you, you don't have to worry about . This is my choice, and I will have no complaints!"
Observing the determination on Hu Zezhi's face, Lu Qing was startled for a mont, as if seeing the young girl before him for the first ti.
Suddenly, he smiled slightly, "It's not as severe as all that; we were just concerned about your leg and didn't want you to overexert yourself.
Well, since you wish to co with us, it would be too inhumane of us to drive you away."
"Mr. Lu, you agree?" Hu Zezhi was overjoyed at hearing this.
"Yes, our carriage can indeed accommodate one more. But just so you know, Miss Hu, from tomorrow on, we will be on the road continuously, with few breaks. Be ntally prepared," Lu Qing said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I definitely won't complain," Hu Zezhi replied firmly.
"Let's head downstairs then; the commotion earlier wasn't minor, and people might co to check soon."
Although the Heaven and Earth Dao Sound could only be heard by Innate Realm Experts and so uniquely talented geniuses,
the spectacle of Moon Essence falling to earth was visible to everyone.
The noise Lu Qing made while collecting the Moon Essence in Jade Bottle was also quite significant—it was hard to say if soone had noticed it or not.
Although they weren't afraid, there was also no need to invite trouble needlessly.
Taking Little Yan and Hu Zezhi with him, Lu Qing and his company descended from the inn's rooftop.
Fortunately, the innkeeper and the waiter were ordinary people who didn't notice anything unusual, sparing Lu Qing and his friends from having to explain.
As for Ma Gu and Wei Zian, probably exhausted from the travel during the day, both were still sound asleep and weren't awakened.
"Miss Hu, you should go back to your room and rest early; we'll probably have to wake up very early tomorrow to continue our journey."
"Uh-huh."
Although Hu Zezhi was very curious, she knew this wasn't the ti to inquire and obediently returned to her room.
Seeing Hu Zezhi close her door, Lu Qing turned back to the elder doctor and said,
"Master, I need to figure out how to use this Moon Essence; I'm afraid I won't be able to join you to examine the Poison Blood for now."
"No worries, I will study it by myself first; you go ahead with your task."
The elder doctor nodded, not minding at all.
He knew that if Lu Qing was being so cautious, the Moon Essence must be even more important for Little Li than he had imagined.
After bidding farewell to his master, once he got back to his room, Little Li imdiately ca to Lu Qing, looking at him expectantly.
"Just wait a bit longer, be good."
Lu Qing patted Little Li's head and then sat beside the bed, taking out the Jade Bottle.
Seeing the Jade Bottle, Little Li's eyes lit up even more, and she obediently squatted next to Lu Qing waiting.
Even Little Yan looked curiously at the Jade Bottle.
"Brother, is the thing inside the bottle important for Little Li?"
"I can't be sure yet, let check it first."
Lu Qing held the Jade Bottle, but instead of opening it imdiately, he extended a trace of Divine Soul Power, examining the patterns on the surface of the Jade Bottle.
Tonight's celestial anomaly had arrived too suddenly, giving him no ti to prepare; he had to hastily use his powerful Divine Soul Power to forcibly forge three Sealing Talismans onto the Jade Bottle, allowing it temporarily to hold the essence of the moon.
Otherwise, ordinary containers wouldn't have been able to contain such a miraculous creation from Heaven and Earth.
After the examination, Lu Qing shook his head,
"Indeed, in haste, the container I crafted was too crude; although it can temporarily hold the Moon Essence, it still can't fully secure it—over ti, it will still gradually leak."
Lu Qing activated his superpower, Wei Wang Yuping, and looked at the bottle.
The next mont, in his vision, intense Red Light shone from the Jade Bottle, and several phrases floated up.
[Sealing Jade Bottle: Forged by force with Sealing Talismans, it has the ability to retain Radiant Spirit Liquid.]
[This bottle has so power of a Magic Artifact.]
[The forging technique is crude, there seems to be room for improvent.]
Seeing the phrases in his vision, Lu Qing broke into a sweat.
He hadn't expected even his own superpower to deem his crafting of the bottle shoddy.
With a chuckle at his own expense, Lu Qing uncorked the Jade Bottle.
Imdiately, silver light spilled out from the bottle, and a unique fragrance wafted through the air, instantly clearing Lu Qing's mind and bringing a cooling sensation to the Divine Soul Power in his brow chakra.
