Lin Qingyao felt a surge of anger in her heart, but she couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. What did Zhao Zhang mean by showing up here? Did he think he was some kind of savior with his words of wisdom?

  Lin Qingyao looked at Zhao Zhang, her voice slightly cold: "I can take care of myself, no need for Mr. Zhao to worry."

  Lin Qingyao looked at Zhao Zhang like this, and she was a little puzzled in her heart. How did she fall in love with such a man back then? Thinking about herself back then, Lin Qingyao only felt that she would have liked to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

  At the time of divorce, Lin Qingyao only felt that Zhao Zhang was heartless and unrighteous. Now hearing that Zhao Zhang wants her to return to his side, Lin Qingyao realizes that Zhao Zhang is not only heartless and unrighteous but also shameless!

  Zhao Zhang was somewhat annoyed. This woman, he had asked her so humbly and she still didn't give him any face, it was as if she didn't want to save his dignity!

  "Qingyao, do you really want to degenerate into this state? I know I wronged you in the past, but there's no need for you to punish yourself by ruining your own life." Zhao Zhang said as gently as possible.

  After rolling around in the business world for so long, he had long learned to hide his emotions and put on a fake face at any time and place. Just like now, he was clearly very angry, but on the surface, he still managed to look warm and concerned.

  Lin Qingyao suddenly laughed, laughing without any restraint, her laughter crisp and clear.

  Zhao Zhang was confused by Lin Qingyao's smile and couldn't guess what she was thinking.

  Lin Qingyao stopped smiling and said word by word: "Mr. Zhao, you are too self-loving. I will not ruin myself because of a heartless person. Besides, we have already divorced, and each has gone their separate ways. My affairs have nothing to do with you."

  Zhao Zhang sorrowfully gazed at Lin Qingyao: "Qingyao, why must you be so heartless?"

  Lin Qingyao looked at Zhao Zhang coldly and said, "If there's nothing else, please don't block the way, Mr. Zhao."

  As she spoke, Lin Qingyao walked away into the distance. After a few steps, she stopped and turned back to Zhao Zhang: "Please remember, don't come disturb my life again. This way we can coexist peacefully. If... I won't mind making you regret it."

  What Lin Qingyao said was no threat. With her current abilities, wanting to bring down the Zhao family would be difficult, but not impossible.

  Just after the divorce, she felt that she hated the Zhao family and wanted to chop every single one of them into pieces.

  But later, she started to cultivate and gradually found that the Zhao family was not worth her getting angry about. The hatred in her heart also wasn't as deep-seated as before. In her eyes, the Zhao family was like an ant that she could crush at any time.

  No one would have thought that Lin Qingyao, since she started cultivating, had been racing against time, and sometimes even forgot about her own grudges with the Zhao family.

  If it were Zhao Zhang and the people of the Zhao family, they wouldn't take the initiative to find trouble with her, she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to do anything to the Zhao family. If the Zhao family would always bring her trouble, she didn't mind, putting down all the things on hand temporarily, first focusing on dealing with the Zhao family!

  Zhao Zhang naturally didn't take Lin Qingyao's words to heart. In his opinion, Lin Qingyao had simply relied on a few wealthy patrons and was now becoming arrogant. If she really were to go up against the Zhao family, those men would likely not lift a finger for her sake.

  Zhao Zhang stood there for a long time, gritting his teeth and thinking that sooner or later, he would make this woman return to his side once again!

  Zhao Zhang's blocking of the road didn't last long and was soon forgotten by Lin Qingyao, who had become busy like a spinning top.

  Three days later, Shi Zi Bridge, Cao's house.

  Lin Qingyao decided to go and see Cao He Guang and Cao Mei Fen, thinking that she might be able to find some clues from Cao Mei Fen.

  Cao He Guang saw that Lin Qing Yao had arrived and put on a smiling face: "Qing Yao, how did you come?"

  Lin Qingyao smiled and said: "I'll go take a look at Mei Fen."

  Cao Heguang's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he still used his hand to propel the wheelchair forward, making way for Lin Qingyao: "Come in."

  Lin Qingyao's gaze fell on Cao Meifen, who was leaning against the door frame in a daze, as if she hadn't noticed that there were more people in the house.

  The Cao family is now a cripple and an idiot, which makes Lin Qingyao sigh endlessly.

  Lin Qingyao found it hard to associate the lively and lovely little girl of yesteryear with the Cao Meifen of today.

  "How have you been these past few days?" Lin Qingyao asked softly.

  Cao He Guang's gaze fell on his sister, filled with helplessness: "These past few days, she can finally remember to eat."

  "What about mentally? Has there been any improvement?" Lin Qingyao asked with concern.

  Cao He Guang sighed and said: "I don't know what's wrong with Mei Fen, every night when she sleeps, she wakes up with a start, shouting 'Save me, there are monsters...'"

  Cao Mei Fen's reaction, in Cao He Guang's eyes, was a sign of abnormal mental state, but the speaker had no intention, while the listener did. This remark fell into Lin Qing Yao's heart and made her think deeply.

  Are there monsters? What kind of monsters?

  Could it be that the perpetrator is a demon cultivator?

  Demon cultivators need to kill people, perhaps they want to collect divine souls, which can be understood. However, demon cultivators often kill people and take their children, what is the reason for this?

  "Qingyao? What's wrong?" Cao Heguang asked, seeing Lin Qingyao staring blankly.

  "Ah? I'm fine."

  Lin Qingyao left the Cao family and sent a message to Xu Kun, telling him what she knew.

  Lin Qingyao did not go home directly, but drove to Fang City instead.

  The shopkeeper should have already taken out the Danfeng she wanted.

  Such a Dan Fang, in the Danxia Sect, is actually not considered anything important, it's just that nowadays, even the Danxia Sect, which relies on spiritual medicine to stand firm, not all disciples need to learn alchemy.

  The reason is simple, to cultivate a Dan master, the resources consumed are also enormous. Now that the cultivation resources are so scarce, every spiritual grass should be fully utilized. Who would use limited spiritual medicine for disciples to practice alchemy?

  Since we can't refine elixirs, who would still remember these useless alchemy formulas?

  So this is not a rare Dan Fang, nor can it be easily found by anyone.

  Fortunately, there is another advantage, which is that the Danxia Sect's supervision of these alchemy recipes has also relaxed. If it were an internal disciple who wanted to go to the Book Pavilion to find some alchemy recipe, it wouldn't attract attention.

  It's just being seen by people, privately taking Dan Fang, no one will say anything.

  In an era when few people could refine elixirs, alchemical formulas were worthless, and anyone who wanted them could take them.

  If this Dan Fang were to be exchanged for a top-grade cultivation technique, it would probably not be so easy to obtain.

  The medicine shop was still as desolate as ever, with hardly anyone coming in. In fact, it wasn't that no one came in, but rather the shop really had nothing to sell anymore.

  Everyone just wants to come and buy things, but there's nothing worth buying here!

  Don't look at the array inside, it's also pretentious and has several kinds of elixirs, but those aren't good things. Either they're useless to cultivators and only have a strengthening effect on ordinary people.

  It is either Dan toxin or Qi Da's inferior Dan medicine.

  Some medicinal pills are even worse, and those that can't even be considered inferior products are touted as medicinal pills, when in fact they're just useless dregs!

  Such a waste of elixir is simply poison for cultivators!

  Of course, the ones that can be sold here are not for cultivators to commit suicide with, but rather there is a portion of people who will take risks and consume waste elixirs. For example, some cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan, without the aid of elixirs, have no hope of breaking through. Truly good elixirs either cannot be bought or are too expensive to purchase. At this time, many people will choose to consume waste elixirs.

  The waste pill is also transformed from spiritual grass, and there is still spiritual power inside. Some people rely on the medicinal properties to break through, but more people are poisoned by the elixir poison in the waste pill...

  Those who break through are often also tortured by dan poison.

  But at the critical moment of life and death, it is clear that this is a poison, and yet the monks will still eat it. From this point of view, these monks are not simple characters!

  Lin Qingyao walked into the empty medicine shop, at this moment the owner was sitting there dozing off... no mistake, it was indeed dozing off.

  Nowadays, spiritual energy is insufficient, and cultivation is twice as difficult. Many cultivators have given up early on, and even if they don't give up, their hearts are not as devoted to the Tao as those of the cultivators from thousands of years ago.

  Lin Qingyao coughed softly and woke up the shopkeeper.

  The shopkeeper was woken up from his good dream, and naturally he was a bit unhappy.

  When the shopkeeper's gaze fell on the slender girl in front of him, his displeased expression quickly disappeared, replaced by a smile: "Friend, I didn't expect you to come!"

  Lin Qingyao didn't waste any words and directly asked: "What I want, is it ready?"

  The shopkeeper hastily said: "Yes, yes!" This is a cultivator from the Huaxia Group! Who doesn't know that although the Huaxia Group isn't a sect, most of its cultivators come from large sects and are basically all elite disciples. Their moves are always very generous!

  The woman in front of me has only cultivated her Qi for six layers and can already enter the Huaxia Group. She must have a very impressive background!

  The boss's view of Lin Qingyao has changed from a simple stove to one with a large background...

  Lin Qingyao's eyes lit up when she heard that there was a Dan Fang, and she looked at the shopkeeper with anticipation. Now she seemed to be in the sixth layer of Qi training, but it was just an empty shell! If she didn't refine the Continuation Pulse Dan as soon as possible, even if she repaired her meridians and restored her cultivation, the hidden injuries on her meridians would not be completely healed, and it was very likely that they would affect her future cultivation.

  The shopkeeper doesn't have a storage bag. Now storage bags are rare items. Someone like him, who runs a shop, how would he have this thing?

  He went around to the back of the counter, took out a brocade box and handed it to Lin Qingyao.

  Lin Qingyao took it over and opened it to take a look. Inside, she saw a quiet jade slip lying still.

  The jade slip is warm to the touch and yellow in color, with some symbols carved on its surface.
