In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Jinma City, on a certain street.

Three small bungalows are connected together to form the famous Qingquan Teahouse in the city.

In Jinma City and several nearby cities, there are many literati and dignitaries who are proud to have tea here.

There were many guests in the teahouse at this time, but no one made any noise.

Most of them closed their eyes lightly and tasted the tea in front of them. Only a few people were discussing something softly.

Shopkeeper Lin stood behind a counter in the corner, although he seemed to be thinking with his head down. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that his calculations have been turned upside down and he doesn't know it yet. He is obviously worried about other things.

Deng Deng Deng!

A burst of urgent and panicked footsteps came from outside the teahouse, causing many tea-sipping guests to frown.

Soon, three people walked in one after the other from the teahouse. The one at the front was a young man with a stout build and a straightforward face. At first glance, he looked like the kind of guy with no manners.

Among the two people at the back, one of them had an ordinary face, but he was so dark and dark. Most of the people who come here to taste tea are romantic travelers, so they naturally look down upon such people.

The last one among the three made everyone's eyes light up. This man was in his early twenties, with a handsome appearance and a faint smile between his eyebrows, which really made the elegant people feel a lot more comfortable.

It seems that this person must be a young man from a rich family. The black-faced boy next to him is a follower like a bookboy. The short and thick young man who came in first is probably a coachman. No wonder he is so uneducated.

These three people were Lu Yuan, Han Li, and Zhang Tie. Xin Ruyin had met them at Qi Yunxiao's place, so she didn't know where Xin Ruyin lived.

They first went to Qi Yunxiao's place, a group of hills to the west of "Golden Horse City". After shouting for a long time, no one came out. The three of them had no choice but to come to Qingquan Tea House to try their luck.

"Shopkeeper Lin!" Zhang Tie ignored everyone's strange looks and shouted eagerly towards the counter.

This move made everyone who was drinking tea look at him angrily. If it were not forbidden to cause trouble in the teahouse, they would have swarmed up and taught this reckless man a lesson for disturbing everyone's tea tasting.

Lu Yuan looked at everyone and smiled slightly, reached out to stop the waiter who was passing by him, picked up a cup of tea from the tray, raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

"Well, not bad, good tea!" Lu Yuan praised and put the tea cup back on the tray held by the waiter. The waiter was stunned for a while. This was the first time he had seen such an unruly person in the teahouse for several years.

"Snapped!"

"Who are you? That's the fragrant tea that Liu has been waiting for half an hour!" At a certain table, a young man stood up and slapped his gum and shouted angrily. His clothes were luxurious and decorated with gold and silver, which showed his extraordinary status.

Han Li, who was beside Lu Yuan, secretly screamed that something was wrong and became extremely nervous, his mind fixed on Lu Yuan.

"Thank you Brother Liu for the fragrant tea!" Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan chuckled and joked.

Han Li had a strange look on his face. Considering his junior brother's recent violent temper, shouldn't he have red eyes and cut the young man in half with his golden blade?

"You!" The young man opened his mouth first, and soon heard Lu Yuan's teasing intention, and was about to explode.

However, the people sitting with him soon stopped him and tried to persuade him. After all, the owner of the teahouse was said to have a good background.

Let's see how the shopkeeper deals with this person!

Shopkeeper Lin had something on his mind, and when someone made such a fuss, his face was naturally filled with anger.

Seeing this, everyone sneered in their hearts. It was true that people had caused trouble before, but no matter how powerful or noble the person was, they were all dismissed by Shopkeeper Lin in the end.

For example, the young man named Liu just now, whose identity is the second son of the lord of Jinma City, is not waiting in line for tea as usual.

It seems that there is another guy who doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth today, and he is going to be taught a lesson.

But what happened next shocked them.

As soon as Shopkeeper Lin saw Zhang Tie's appearance, his expression immediately changed. He hurriedly pulled the abacus aside and walked out from behind the counter.

"It's Mr. Tie, Mr. Li!" Shopkeeper Lin said with surprise and respect.

"And this young man is..."

Not only the waiter, but also everyone in the teahouse was confused. They had never seen shopkeeper Lin in such a posture. Even the lord of Golden Horse City only nodded in greeting when he came here.

Zhang Tie was worried about Xin Ruyin. He had no time to introduce Lu Yuan and asked directly: "How is Miss Xin? Is there something wrong with the medicine?"

"Master Tie, please save my master and Miss Xin!" Shopkeeper Lin asked about the idea as soon as Zhang Tie arrived. Knowing that he could be saved, he fell to his knees in tears.

"Get up and talk, where are they now?" Zhang Tie and the others felt a little relieved after hearing Shopkeeper Lin's request to save people. It seemed that Xin Ruyin was still alive.

Shopkeeper Lin knew that the situation was urgent, so he stood up and led the three of them to the back door. At the same time, he did not forget to say to everyone in the teahouse: "Everyone, the teahouse is temporarily closed today, please come back!"

The words were extremely cold, and there was no tone of discussion at all. It was completely different from the attitude when talking to Lu Yuan and the others.

What are the backgrounds of these three people? Could they be relatives of the emperor?

Although everyone was confused, they didn't dare to feel dissatisfied at all when they saw Shopkeeper Lin's cold eyes, and they all got up and left.

"We probably know Miss Xin's situation, but something seems to have happened to Brother Qi too!" Zhang Tie asked anxiously in the backyard of the teahouse.

"A few days ago, Miss Xin's maid came to my young master to tell her something. My young master followed her there and has not come back yet." Shopkeeper Lin said such ambiguous words.

"Do you know where Miss Xin lives?" Zhang Tie interrupted Shopkeeper Lin.

"I only know the approximate direction."

"Wait! Shopkeeper Lin, can you tell the story in detail so that I can know the whole story!" Han Li naturally realized that Shopkeeper Lin was hiding something and asked in a deep voice.

He has always been cautious, never letting go of hawks before seeing rabbits. But if there is a wolf behind the rabbit, he will definitely run faster than the rabbit.

Even though now was the best time to show mercy, Han Li wanted to understand the situation first, but he didn't expect that the person was not rescued, but instead got himself involved.

"Uh... here's the thing." Shopkeeper Lin looked ugly for a while, but finally he was ready to explain the whole story.

"Rescuing people is important, let's talk about the rest on the way!" Zhang Tie was anxious and didn't care what Han Li said. He directly patted Han Li's storage bag and took out the divine wind boat.

"Brother Zhang, don't be reckless! Besides, this is still in a secular city!" Han Li quickly stopped him.

Zhang Tiezhen was concerned about Xin Ruyin's safety, but he didn't listen to Han Li's words. He directly released the divine wind boat and asked shopkeeper Lin to jump on it. Then he looked at Lu Yuan and Han Li.

"Are you leaving or not?"

"Brother Zhang is such a man!" Lu Yuan laughed and jumped up. Looking at Han Li who was still writing on the bottom, Lu Yuan directly sent a message to him.

"I'll control the kamikaze boat. Let's take a look first. If it doesn't work, run away!"

After hearing this, Han Li shook his head and jumped into the divine wind boat with a dissatisfied look on his face.

On the street outside Qingquan Teahouse, Mr. Liu was filled with anger. Even though a group of friends tried to persuade him, they could not dispel the hatred in his heart. The second son of the dignified Lord of Jinma City was actually robbed of tea in front of his face. If word spreads, how can he still hang out in the elite circle?

Just when he was looking for a way to vent his anger, the whole street suddenly boiled. Everyone raised their necks, pointed at the sky and shouted.

"Fairy!"

"Look at the immortal!"

"Oh my god, there are so many immortals, four of them all at once!"

What immortal?

Mr. Liu and his friends also looked at the sky with puzzled expressions, and they were all dumbfounded.

About a few feet high in the air, a white boat emitted a soft white light and was slowly rising out of thin air. On the boat, there were four people standing. One of them was Shopkeeper Lin, whom they were very familiar with, and the other three were the three mysterious people who were in the teahouse just now.

Mr. Liu was even more impressed by the one standing at the bow of the boat, the young man who just robbed him of his fragrant tea.

"what?"

"Ha ha!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Mr. Liu in the crowd went crazy, and kept grabbing the people around him with his hands. Shake this, shake that.

"Did you see it! It's an immortal who's talking to me!"

"The person who was talking to me just now was an immortal!"

......

"Brother Zhang, if you are so undisguised, you might cause a big mess!" Looking at the thick crowd below, Han Li's face turned gloomy.

"Anyway, the matter has already happened, what's the use of talking about it!" Zhang Tie was a little dissatisfied with Han Li's attitude just now.

"Brother Zhang is right, let's make peace with what we have come, why not take the opportunity to enjoy the feeling of the stars holding the moon!" Lu Yuan thought openly, looking at the burning eyes of many mortals below, he immediately started to float.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan caught a glimpse of an acquaintance in the crowd, it was the young man who slapped the table just now. At this time, he was in the crowd, jumping up and down excitedly, his shoes flying off, and there was no trace of elegance in his body.

"Junior brother, why didn't you kill him in the teahouse?" Han Li was a little confused by Lu Yuan's actions.

"That cup of tea is really good. I feel relaxed and happy after drinking it, and my mind is much clearer." Lu Yuandan said calmly, and then stepped on the divine wind boat, and several people instantly turned into a white light and flew away from the Golden Horse City.

"It seems that this spiritual tea is very helpful in stabilizing the mind. You should drink more in the future!" Han Li pointed out.

"Miss Xin spent nearly ten years researching that fragrant tea, and the tea in her hand is even more effective. After several seniors formed a circle, they could have as much as they wanted!" Shopkeeper Lin heard the fragrant tea. Tea seemed to be useful to Lu Yuan, so he said quickly.

"Put aside the fragrant tea for now, now it's time for you to talk about the specific situation, right?" Han Li snorted coldly, seeing through Shopkeeper Lin's little thoughts.

Shopkeeper Lin was so frightened that he trembled, and under Han Li's cold eyes, he recounted what happened.

Just as Han Li had speculated, Qi Yunxiao and Qi Yunxiao didn't dare to make any announcement after getting the Sun Flower in exchange. Just follow the method found in the ancient prescription that Xin Ruyin found, use it as a medicine guide, and take it with several other elixirs.

The two people, who thought that even if they could not cure the disease, would improve their condition, they soon discovered that something was wrong.

After taking the medicine, Xin Ruyin's illness not only did not improve, but became more serious.

Until a few months ago, the meridians in Xin Ruyin's body were atrophied and necrotic.

The two knew little about medical skills and could not contact Zhang Tie. They had no choice but to ask some fellow practitioners and friends for help. It's just that their friends are also monks in the Qi refining stage, and their knowledge is not much higher than theirs.

Not only did this achieve little, but the condition even worsened due to some guy's random suggestions.

Seeing that Xin Ruyin's health was deteriorating, Qi Yunxiao took the risk to seek help from some big families in Yuanwu Kingdom. There are many high-level monks in these families with extraordinary knowledge.

After hearing about Master Xin Ruyin's identity, several families were willing to help, but when they checked Xin Ruyin's condition, they were helpless. Even when they saw that Xin Ruyin was terminally ill, they started to think about his formation experience.

But what's even more terrible is that during diagnosis and treatment, traces of the elixir that had been taken for thousands of years were found on Xin Ruyin's body.

The formation master's experience, coupled with the thousand-year-old elixir, immediately made them think strangely. After several attempts of coercion and inducement to no avail, they lost patience and issued an ultimatum. If they continued not to comply, they would take tough measures.

The deadline for this ultimatum was just a few days ago.

Qi Yunxiao did bad things with good intentions, but failed to save the person and instead led the wolf into the house.

In desperation, he had no choice but to shamelessly ask his family for help. However, Qi Yunxiao was already an outside disciple expelled from the Qi family, and the Qi family was also an ordinary small family, so how could he offend others because of a low-level monk who was about to die.

Qi Yunxiao had no choice but to ask shopkeeper Lin to invite some of his closest friends. He took the first step and went to Xin Ruyin's place.

"Junior brother, stop, we can't wade in this muddy water!" Han Li heard this and quickly asked Lu Yuan to stop.

"Senior Tie, I have been waiting in Jinma City for several days. None of my young master's so-called life and death friends are willing to help. Only the righteous Senior Tie comes uninvited. If you don't ignore it anymore, my young master and the others will It's really hopeless!" When Shopkeeper Lin saw the Shenfengzhou stop, he immediately knelt down in front of Zhang Tie and slapped him on his face.

"Brother Zhang, the elixir has been discovered. If we continue to mix it up, we will be exposed!" Han Li glared at Shopkeeper Lin.

Seeing Han Li's serious look, Zhang Tie also understood the consequences and gritted his teeth with a stern look in his eyes.

"Then do it cleanly and take them out of Yuanwu Country immediately after rescuing people!"

"You still insist on going?" Han Li frowned.

"Senior Brother Lu, don't you like to kill people lately?" Zhang Tie ignored Han Li and looked at Lu Yuan instead.

"Brother Zhang means..." Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Han Li with a smirk on his face.

"You two!" Han Li's expression changed, and he had a bad feeling.

Zhang Tie didn't say anything, but took the opportunity to push Lu Yuan aside and took control of the divine wind boat. With a rush of mana, the speed of the divine wind boat increased to the extreme, and it didn't take long before it arrived near an inconspicuous hill.

"Miss Xin lives on this mountain, but I don't know the specific location." Shopkeeper Lin pointed to the hill below.

"Hush, be silent!" Lu Yuan motioned to Shopkeeper Lin to stop talking. He vaguely heard some voices.

"There are extremely strong spiritual energy fluctuations in the mountain, and it seems that someone is fighting!" Han Li's consciousness was far superior to that of a few people, comparable to the middle stage of foundation building, and he discovered the abnormality in advance.

As the divine wind boat quickly approached, several people heard an uninterrupted roar coming from somewhere on the mountainside.

"There are more than a dozen people, including two foundation-building monks. I don't know what level they are in." Han Li said again. Because he was worried about being discovered, he did not dare to explore too obviously.

"We have three foundation-building monks, and the two of you are far more powerful than the same level. We have a great chance of winning and can win quickly!" Zhang Tie was delighted when he heard this and made up his mind for everyone.

"Junior brother, what do you think?" Han Li glanced at Lu Yuan.

"Let's be reasonable first. If it doesn't work, just look at my eyes and act!"

"Eye, wink..." Han Li suddenly trembled.
