Chapter 317
Ji Xiuzhu looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man with a dignified appearance walking through the void towards her.
The old man approached Ji Xiuzhu and seemed to suddenly remember something.
He reached into his sleeve and took out a golden gourd.
The old man chuckled and threw the magic gourd. The magic gourd floated into the air like a balloon and then flew towards the fleeing black shadow.
The black shadow hid here and there, but in just ten breaths, it was no match for the suction of the magic gourd and was sucked into it.
Seeing this, the old man smiled and took back the gourd.
"Please spare my life, Immortal! I dare not hurt anyone again!" The black shadow was put into the gourd, but he still tried to ask for leniency.
"Noisy." As he said that, the old man gently touched the gourd with his finger, and the black shadow instantly became silent.
Ji Xiuzhu looked at this scene with amazement in his eyes.
Although he was somewhat grateful to the old man, Ji Xiuzhu was still wary of people of unknown origin.
She slowly put away her sword, then bowed to the old man and said, "Thank you for your help, Immortal. What's your name?"
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Little girl, you are really forgetful. It's okay if you forget. No need to be polite. I am Qingxuzi, traveling around the world, specializing in killing demons and evil spirits."
Ji Xiuzhu frowned slightly when he heard this.
She was very sure that she had never seen this old man before, let alone the saying that noble people tend to forget things.
I'm afraid there's something fishy going on.
After Ji Xiuzhu bowed to the old man again, he planned to leave with his disciples.
But as soon as I took a step, I smelled a burst of fragrance.
Ji Xiuzhu was startled and turned around quickly.
Upon taking a look, he saw that the old man was stroking his beard with one hand and looking at Ji Xiuzhu leisurely.
"This companion grass is hard to come by. It just so happens that this is the last one this year, and it's in my hands. Little kid, do you want it?"
After the old man finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and the companion grass floated straight in front of Ji Xiuzhu.
Ji Xiuzhu looked at the companion grass in front of him and his heart moved.
This companion grass is exactly what Qin Lan needs for her injuries, and it is also very beneficial for bone grafting. However, this old man's behavior is strange, and he must have a purpose in giving her this companion grass.
She did not reach out to take it, but said calmly: "No merit, no reward. Your Excellency gave me such a gift, I am afraid you need my help with something."
Qingxuzi laughed: "You little girl are as smart as ever. To be honest, I heard that you are ready to ascend to heaven. My requirements are not high. How about your ascension?"
Ji Xiuzhu frowned and became even more alert.
The matter of ascension has always been mysterious, and she has suppressed her cultivation, but she was still discovered by him. The old man suddenly made this request, so there must be some conspiracy behind it.
"Sir, ascension is not something I can control, and I know nothing about the ins and outs of it. I'm afraid it won't be possible as you wish." She spoke cautiously, her eyes fixed on Qingxuzi.
Qingxuzi was not annoyed, and still smiled: "Don't worry, little kid, I will help you. As long as you promise me that after you ascend to heaven, you will do one thing for me."
Ji Xiuzhu's heart moved. This companion grass was too important to Qin Lan, but he didn't dare to agree easily.
Just as she was hesitating, Qin Lan's weak voice came from behind her: "Master, if you don't want to ascend, then don't embarrass yourself."
After saying that, Qin Lan slowly stepped forward and protected Ji Xiuzhu behind her.
With a wave of his hand, he returned the companion grass fan to Qingxuzi.
"Old man, even if I die, I will never let you use this to threaten my master! I am just a crippled body, if you have the guts, just step over my dead body!" Qin Lan said, summoning a thousand talismans and preparing for battle.
Seeing this, Hu Yin and Xu Anlan also picked up their weapons and stood in front of Ji Xiuzhu.
When Qingxuzi saw this scene, he was not angry, but laughed: "Great! What a group of loyal disciples! I didn't make a mistake in your judgment."
After that, he put away his playful expression and said seriously: "I do have something to ask of you, but I have no ill intentions. What I ask of you will be of benefit to you and will not cause any harm. And this companion grass, just consider it as a gift to your disciple for healing. I will not ask for anything in return."
After saying that, he handed the companion grass to Qin Lan again.
Seeing that he spoke sincerely, Ji Xiuzhu's vigilance was slightly reduced.
She thought for a moment and said, "If you really have no ill intentions, you can tell me what you want. If it is within my ability and will not harm the people, I will agree to it."
Qingxuzi nodded and said slowly: "Hundreds of years from now, there will be a catastrophe between heaven and earth. The three realms will be in turmoil and all living things will suffer. I hope that after you ascend to heaven, you can help me survive this catastrophe."
Ji Xiuzhu was shocked. He didn't expect that what Qingxuzi was talking about was actually this matter!
