I am a cannon fodder, so what's wrong with grabbing an opportunity?

Yunluo rejected Huodou's request and said that he wanted to keep all three of them.

After some persuasion from Huodou, she finally gave in.

"Are you sure she is the one?" Yun Luo confirmed with Huo Dou again.

Huodou nodded and said, "I don't need to go to your place to deceive you. Do I look like someone who has nothing better to do?"

Yunluo finally sent Huodou and Xie Zhiqiu away from the back garden.

I watched the two people leave the boat and thought: I hope this Xie Zhiqiu is really the person Huodou said he was.

When Xie Zhiqiu woke up, he saw a wooden board and there was something shaky underneath him. Was he no longer in the back garden?

Sit up and look around.

Am I on the sea? How did I get on the boat? Wasn't she in the back garden?

Xie Zhiqiu walked out of the room, went to the deck, and saw the Huodou.

He was a little surprised, and ran over with big strides, his voice choking, "Huodou, you are finally back. Where have you been for such a long time? I was almost worried to death."

Ever since the disappearance of the evil spirit, she has taken Yan Nan to deal with the Mist Whale, went to the Sea Witch's mansion, and entered some underwater purgatory map.

After finally getting out of the Sea Gu Pool, he arrived at Baisheng City and then came to the back garden of the Sea Witch. Before he saw anyone, he met Jin Ning, and it was obvious that Jin Ning had turned into a demon.

She couldn't wait for rescue and thought she was going to die there, but she didn't expect that she was still alive and could see the evil spirit.

Several times, she thought she would never be able to leave those haunted places.

Huodou didn't know what Qiuqiu went through later, but he could hear the grievance in her voice.

He patted Xie Zhiqiu's head and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm back safely."

With Huodou's comfort, Xie Zhiqiu's emotions gradually stabilized.

"By the way, where's Yan Nan?"

Xie Zhiqiu had already gotten used to having Yan Nan as his little follower behind him. After venting his emotions, he finally thought of Yan Nan.

Huodou told Xie Zhiqiu the speech he had prepared early in the morning.

"When I found you, you were alone. You didn't see Yan Nan at all."

He even took the initiative and asked, "Qiuqiu, what happened? Why are you alone on the sea?"

Xie Zhiqiu briefly told Huo Dou about what he had experienced during this period.

Huodou didn't expect that Xie Zhiqiu had actually seen the demon factor in Baisheng City.

Is that the unknown area that Yunluo mentioned?

Now, in addition to the place guarded by Tang Mian, there are two other places where demon factors have appeared. Xie Zhiqiu just happened to encounter these two places. It is such a coincidence.

Huodou did not ask much about the demon factor, but handed the Lan Yinglian that he had taken from Yunluo to Xie Zhiqiu.

"This is the Blue Lotus I found. As long as you refine it, you can strengthen your water spirit roots and repair your base."

Xie Zhiqiu was somewhat flattered holding Lan Yinglian in his hand.

She didn't expect that after disappearing for so long, Huodou could give her such a big surprise when they met again.

They came here just for Lan Yinglian, and now that they have got Lan Yinglian, their trip is complete.

The only pity is that Yan Nan is missing.

Huodou knew that Xie Zhiqiu couldn't let go of Yan Nan, but he didn't take the initiative to find her, nor would he tell her where Yan Nan was.

After all, in his opinion, Yan Nan was of no help to Xie Zhiqiu.

However, he still agreed to give Xie Zhiqiu three days to search for Yan Nan's whereabouts at sea.

In the vast ocean, those places have been sealed by Yunluo, and it is impossible for Qiuqiu to find a way to go back.

Xie Zhiqiu’s first choice was to go to the island, but when she arrived there, the island was no longer the same as when she first saw it.

The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, everything was desolate, and the original cave no longer existed.

Standing in that position, she split the rocks, but there were still rocks behind the rocks, and there was no passage at all.

Three days later, Xie Zhiqiu followed Huo Dou and left the island and went to the Dongzhou continent.

maritime.

Xie Zhiqiu looked a little listless.

Huodou comforted her, "Qiuqiu, in life, we are often apart, but we will meet again if we are destined to."

"I know." Xie Zhiqiu didn't want to worry Huodou, so he changed the subject and said, "I was just thinking about the demon factor."

"I thought the demon factor in Baisheng City was just an illusion. I never thought it would appear here. Is there really a demon factor in this world?"

"Yes." Huodou replied according to Xie Zhiqiu's words.

When Xie Zhiqiu told Huo Dou about his experiences during this period, he mentioned the demon factor.

This was the first time she asked directly about the demon factor of Huodou, and she didn't expect to get a positive response.

"What is the demon factor?"

Huodou paced and said slowly: "The demon factor is actually the incarnation of the three poisons. It attaches itself to the body, feeds on desire, invades the body and destroys the world."

Xie Zhiqiu silently said in his heart: Invade the body and destroy the world.

Come to think of it, isn't Baisheng City like that? The back garden is not much different.

Moreover, the demonic factors in the back garden are obviously much more powerful than those in Baisheng City.

Xie Zhiqiu asked his own question, "Why do some people still have consciousness after being corroded, while others lose all reason?"

"Only a few with high cultivation and not deeply eroded can maintain consciousness for a short period of time. Over time, consciousness will still be occupied." Huodou said.

Xie Zhiqiu thought of Lin Yan. His cultivation was not high, at most he was at the Qi Refining Stage, but he had always maintained consciousness.

"Then how come someone with low cultivation level can still maintain consciousness after being possessed?"

But this time, Huoto did not give her an answer. She had never heard of anyone being able to retain consciousness after being eroded.

Xie Zhiqiu knew Huodou's dilemma and did not ask any further questions.

We changed the topic and started chatting.

At night, Xie Zhiqiu returned to his room and began to refine the Blue Ying Lotus.

Huodou originally planned to let Xie Zhiqiu concentrate on refining after returning to the sect, but the journey is long and it will take some time.

I was afraid that she would have wild thoughts, so I had to agree to let her start refining first.

If he wasn't afraid of exposing the fact that the Sea Witch was no longer able to control the sea, he would have taken a flying boat and left here.

The day after Xie Zhiqiu refined the Blue Ying Lotus, they encountered the Wu family's fleet.

The Huodou didn't want to interrupt Xie Zhiqiu from refining the Lan Yinglian, so he followed the Wu family's fleet. After all, they had the same goal.

After Qiuqiu refines the Blue Ying Lotus, they can leave whenever they want.

Xie Zhiqiu was so obsessed with Lan Yinglian that he had no idea what was happening outside.

Through her spiritual sense, she saw that her water spiritual root was slowly becoming stronger. Although it was not as strong as her fire spiritual root, it was much better than other spiritual roots.

After the Lan Yinglian was completely refined, Xie Zhiqiu practiced the Five Elements Spirit Adjustment Technique and found that his training speed was much faster than before, without any sense of blockage at all.

When Xie Zhiqiu opened her eyes again, her cultivation had stabilized at the late Jindan stage.
