Chapter 55: Entering Baoyun Mountain
Qiu Shan jumped off the carriage, knelt on one knee in front of Nie Tian, and said solemnly: "Mr. Nie, if you can heal my injury, you will be my reborn parent. Qiu Shan is willing to serve you as a master and servant for three years! Oh no, ten years!"
"Uncle Qiu Shan, you..." Qiu Ling'er was also stunned for a moment, and then after reacting, she also jumped off the carriage and knelt in front of Nie Tian: "Please Nie Tian, save Uncle Qiu Shan. As long as Nie Tian is willing to save Uncle Qiu Shan, Ling'er is willing... willing to do anything for Nie Tian."
Qiu Shan's Yuanmai was injured when he was twenty years old, and now it has been twenty-five years.
Every day in the past twenty-five years, he has been fantasizing about the recovery of his Yuanmai.
He is very talented. He was once the rookie king of Bayun Academy. If it weren't for the injury of his Yuanmai, he would have been a warrior of the Giant Spirit Realm or even the True Yuan Realm or even higher levels.
What makes Qiu Shan most sad is that his Yuanmai cannot be restored, and he will never be able to avenge the past in this life.
Back then, he was too aggressive and was plotted against, which led to his current fate.
He still remembers the name of his enemy, Fan Jinwu.
But now Fan Jinwu is the vice president of Baoyun College, and his status is far higher than his.
How could Qiu Shan not be excited when he heard that Nie Tian could heal his Yuanmai injury.
As for Qiu Ling'er, she grew up under Qiu Shan's care. Although they are nominally master and servant, they are like father and daughter. Moreover, Qiu Ling'er lost her father at a young age, so this father-daughter relationship is even more sincere.
If Nie Tian can really heal Qiu Shan, Qiu Ling'er is willing to do anything, even to give herself to him.
As for whether Nie Tian is willing or not, that's another matter.
"Miss Ling'er, get up quickly. I'll take care of Qiu Shan. Just consider it as a reward for letting Yu Rou and I take a ride." Nie Tian quickly helped the two up and smiled faintly.
"A reward for a ride?" Qiu Shan and Qiu Ling'er froze for a moment. This reward was too great.
When Qiu Shan and Qiu Ling'er got back on the carriage, Nie Tian said, "I can't treat Qiu Shan's injury now. I will definitely find you after a few days when I finish my own business."
"Brother Nie Tian, where are you going now?" Qiu Ling'er asked in confusion when she saw Nie Tian get off the carriage.
Nie Tian raised his head slightly, pointed at Ba Yun Mountain and said, "I don't want to wait here, so let's go from Ba Yun Mountain. We'll meet at Ba Yun College in three days."
Nie Tian said, and asked Nie Yurou to get off the car.
"Mr. Nie, are you really going to go from Ba Yun Mountain?" Qiu Shan looked serious and worried, "Ba Yun Mountain is too dangerous, you should wait here with us."
After knowing Nie Tian's identity as an alchemist, Qiu Shan's way of addressing him changed.
"Don't worry. I don't care about a mere Ba Yun Mountain." Nie Tian smiled faintly.
Nie Tian wanted to keep Nie Yurou with Qiu Ling'er, after all, Ba Yun Mountain is very dangerous.
But he didn't know much about Qiu Ling'er and Qiu Shan, so the thought flashed through his mind.
"Sister Ling'er, we're leaving." Nie Yurou waved goodbye to Qiu Ling'er playfully.
Nie Tian turned and left with Nie Yurou.
"Brother Nie Tian, let's go together!" Suddenly, Qiu Ling'er jumped off the carriage and shouted loudly.
Qiu Shan was stunned at first, and then said, "Yes! Mr. Nie, let me and Miss Ling'er accompany you so that we can take care of you."
"Okay." Nie Tian thought about it and agreed.
Nie Tian knew that Qiu Shan was afraid that he would have an accident, after all, Qiu Shan's injury still depended on Nie Tian.
Qiu Shan and Qiu Ling'er packed up and directly abandoned the carriage.
After the four people left the official road of Lanyun City, they set foot on the narrow path.
The path was full of thorns on both sides, several people high, and other people could not see the shadows of the four people at all.
Nie Tian always remained vigilant.
After walking for more than half an hour, a forest appeared in front of them.
"Mr. Nie, after the forest in front is Bayun Mountain. Bayun Mountain is the private territory of Bayun Academy. No one else is allowed to enter. We must avoid the patrols and sneak in." Qiu Shan pointed to the forest in front and said.
Nie Tian nodded, then his face changed slightly, signaling everyone not to make any sound.
At this moment, several young warriors in blue clothes walked slowly outside the forest.
Qiu Shan looked at Nie Tian suspiciously and said, "They are warriors from Bayun Academy, responsible for patrolling Bayun Mountain to prevent outsiders from entering."
In fact, Qiu Shan was very surprised. Even he didn't notice the appearance of this group of warriors. How did Nie Tian notice it?
But thinking of Nie Tian's identity as an alchemist, he was relieved. Alchemists are all guys with abnormally high mental power.
Nie Tian walked in front, carefully avoiding the patrols of all the warriors from Bayun Academy.
With Nie Tian's current mental power, fully unfolded, he can see everything within a radius of one thousand meters.
"Even the warriors patrolling are at the ninth level of Yuanling. Baoyun Academy is indeed worthy of being the first martial arts academy in the Blue Cloud Empire." Nie Tian was a little surprised when he found that the warriors patrolling were not bad. They were basically at the ninth level of Yuanling, and there were even Wanxiang warriors.
After entering Baoyun Mountain, Nie Tian was more careful.
At this time, he should not only pay attention to the patrolling warriors of Baoyun Academy, but also pay attention to the spirit beasts that appear around.
Qiu Shan led the way in front. At first, he did not encounter other warriors and there were few spirit beasts. But as he went deeper, the warriors gradually became more and more, and the spirit beasts appeared more frequently.
Most of these warriors were young people in their teens and twenties, and they were basically students of Baoyun Academy.
Nie Tian sensed it a little bit. These students were all Yuanling Realm warriors, most of them were Yuanling third and fourth levels, and occasionally there would be Yuanling fifth and sixth levels.
These warriors hunted spirit beasts in groups of three or five, and there were also very few strong ones who acted alone.
"They are all students from the outer courtyard of Baoyun Academy. Today should be the day of the hunting competition for students from the outer courtyard. We have to leave here quickly." Qiu Shan said while speeding up his pace.
Nie Tian did not want to waste time, so he followed closely with Nie Yurou.
"Roar!" Just as several people passed a valley, a wild roar suddenly sounded, echoing throughout the valley.
"What a strong aura!" Qiu Shan could not help but say as he could feel the strong aura coming from the valley from afar.
Nie Tian frowned slightly and murmured, "The second-level spiritual beast, the saber-toothed black leopard, is considered a strong second-level spiritual beast, and its strength is comparable to that of a seventh-level Yuanling warrior."
"Bang!" Just as Nie Tian's voice fell, there was a muffled sound, and then something flew out of the valley and landed right at Nie Tian's feet.
"Huh?" Nie Tian looked down and saw that there was a half-body under his feet. The head on the body was still staring with big eyes, and it was obvious that he was frightened before dying.
"Ah!" Qiu Ling'er and Nie Yurou screamed at the same time, and retreated in fear.
"Run! The spiritual beast is running away!" There were panicked shouts in the valley, and several embarrassed figures fled in a hurry.
"Qiu Shan, protect them, I'll go and take a look." Nie Tian didn't care about the people who escaped, and greeted Qiu Shan, then moved and ran towards the valley.
