Ordinary observers in fast time travel

The sweet and sour smell of the red eggplant rushed into Qi Zan's nose, and he frowned. He had already been fasting for a long time, and he was even more disdainful of competing for food with a little kid.

"Go eat over there!" Qi Zan waved his hand, and at the same time a spiritual power isolated the air between the two of them.

Li Shijia quickly hid behind the cave and tried hard to control his chewing sounds.

Qi Zan looked at the cave where Li Shijia was thoughtfully. His powerful five senses allowed him to clearly feel the faint aura of death coming from behind the cave.

The next second, Li Shijia saw Qi Zan walking straight towards her. She shuddered and thought to herself, how did she offend Elder Qi again?

"Wow--"

"what--"

In the cold pond, Qi Nan screamed without warning. At the same time, a bloody smell with an icy breath wafted out, and Qi Zan's face changed drastically.

He turned around and appeared above the cold pond.

At this time, Qi Nan continued to struggle in the cold pond, and his bright red blood was staining the icy blue water as he struggled. Qi Zan saw that the blood vessels under Qi Nan's skin were bulging, as if they were about to burst at any time.

He immediately picked up Qi Nan, teleported to the shore, and quickly fed him seven or eight pills. His hands turned into shadows, casting runes one after another.

Li Shijia ran out nervously, followed closely by Gouzi.

"Elder, elder, what's wrong with Xiaonan?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that he can't refine the thousand-year-old icy energy." After he said that, he put Qi Nan aside. "However, he is originally an ice saint body, give him a little more time, and he will be able to digest it."

"Oh oh." Although Qi Nan now looks like a piece of ice full of cracks, but Elder Qi said it's okay, so it should be okay, right?

Li Shijia thought uncertainly.

"You stay here and don't leave. I'm going to find some elixirs and make pills for him." Qi Zan said as he threw out an array plate, covering Qi Nan, Li Shijia and her dog.

"Okay." Li Shijia thought of something and quickly took out a bunch of spiritual plants from the Qiankun Ring. "Elder, look, are there any herbs here that you need?"

"These are what I just collected. When you exit the cave, you can see a large valley filled with spiritual plants."

Qi Zan took a quick look and saw several high-level spiritual plants. He waved his hand and said, "There are indeed some that I need."

High-level spiritual plants are to alchemists what spiritual swords are to sword masters and talisman pens are to talisman masters. Seeing these spiritual plants, even Qi Zan, who is usually calm and self-controlled, couldn't help but smile.

However, the next second, Qi Zan's face changed drastically, and he threw the spiritual plant out almost like throwing away garbage.

"Ah?" Li Shijia was stunned, feeling distressed about the broken spiritual plant not far away. "Elder?"

Qi Zan frowned, and a "川" character appeared on his usually smooth and tight forehead. His eyes were staring so hard that they were slightly protruding, and his lips were pursed into a straight line.

Li Shijia had never seen Qi Zan so angry. At this moment, she didn't dare to ask Qi Zan why he threw away the spiritual plants she had picked with great effort. She wished she could shrink into the crack and never let Qi Zan see her.

"Where did you pick this spiritual plant?" His voice was not as cold as usual, but instead filled with rage.

Li Shijia was trembling with fear. "Just outside the cave, there is a big valley." She repeated what she had said before.

"lead the way!"

"Ah?" Li Shijia was stunned for a moment. Didn't he just tell her to take good care of Qi Nan? "But Qi Nan..."

"lead the way!"

"well!"

Li Shijia quickly got up and walked towards the cave, with Gouzi following closely behind.

Qi Nan frowned. He felt uncomfortable when he saw the local dog, but he was even more angry about the destruction of the spiritual plants.

Li Shijia didn't dare to speak during the long detours. She just had too many questions in her mind, and Qi Zan's reaction to the spiritual plant made her feel uneasy. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt a pain in her stomach.

Are those spiritual plants poisonous?
The more Li Shijia thought about it, the more frightened she became. Her face became paler and paler. Finally, when she was about to enter the valley, she couldn't help but speak, "Elder, I... want to ask something."

"What's the matter?" As he approached the exit, Qi Zan felt the lingering deathly aura more and more.

"Is there any problem with the spiritual plant?" Li Shijia looked at Qi Zan anxiously.

"Death!"

"Dead energy?" Li Shijia was stunned for a moment, and the dog behind her almost jumped up. She said blankly, "There is dead energy in spiritual plants?"

"Is there any harm in this?" Li Shijia felt a little silly at this moment. Although her cultivation was not high, she had read a lot of popular science about cultivation. Naturally, she understood the harm of dead air.

Dead air is the nemesis of all life.

All living animals and plants that are contaminated by the dead air will soon be corroded by it. So what else can harm it? One word: death.

Li Shijia's body was shaking, and cold sweat broke out from his whole body like a waterfall.

Qi Zan did not look at her, his eyes were fixed on the valley outside. He saw that the valley, which was full of vitality during the day, was now wrapped in gray fog.

Under the gray fog, one can vaguely see spiritual plants standing proudly, as if they are in an environment rich in spiritual energy. Are they actually absorbing death energy?
This, how is this possible!

Qi Zan couldn't believe it.

After a long while, he calmed down. As an alchemist in the Nascent Soul stage, he read a lot of books. One of the ancient books recorded that "Mingling grass grows mostly in tombs and graves, absorbing the Yin and Ming Qi to grow..."

The scene before my eyes was very similar to the description in the book, except that they were not the Nether Spirit Grass.

Spiritual plants cannot absorb dead energy without reason. Likewise, dead energy cannot be produced without reason.

If he could figure out why these spiritual plants absorb dead energy to grow, then his cultivation and alchemy skills would be much better...

"Elder!"

Qi Zan was somewhat displeased as his beautiful fantasy was interrupted. He looked at the "culprit" Li Shijia, only to see that her face was pale and there was a faint aura of death lingering on her.

Qi Zan frowned, "Did you eat the spiritual fruit picked from the valley?"

Li Shijia nodded in despair. "Elder, please save me!"

She knew that the dead energy was very difficult to remove, especially when it invaded the meridians and seeped into the dantian. Even if she dispersed her energy and started over again, it would be of no avail.

Because you can disperse the power, but you cannot disperse the dead energy.

Without the spiritual power to support him, he would die faster.

Of course, everything has its nemesis, and so does death energy. Vitality energy and the power of merit are its nemesis. However, Li Shijia did not know this at the moment.

"You should know that death energy is difficult to remove." Qi Zan said as he stretched out his fingers, drew a few talismans out of thin air, and injected them into Li Shijia's body.

"I can only help you seal the death energy, but the death energy will also consume your spiritual power. Within ten years, the death energy will be sealed and consumed."

Li Shijia's emotions fluctuated greatly. He didn't know whether he should be happy that he was temporarily away from death, or despair that he would face death in ten years.

But when she glanced at the equally desperate dog, she hurriedly said, "Elder, please also seal the death energy in my pet."

Qi Zan seemed to be in a good mood. Without saying anything, he sealed the death energy in the dog.

Afterwards, Li Shijia and Gou Zi were driven back to the Cold Pond Cave by Qi Zan, while he entered the valley. As for what happened afterwards, Li Shijia didn't know. (End of this chapter)
