After a few moments passed, Xu Qing stood up. She wore a long, greenish-blue robe, and her features were cold. As she left the Immortal’s cave, she coolly said, “Rise.”
The girl took a deep breath and then quickly rose to her feet, carefully following Xu Qing out of the Immortal’s Cave.
Xu Qing looked up at the azure blue sky, and the bright sun, and the strange expression in her eye slowly faded away and turned into coldness. Deep within this coldness, however, was emotion, something only she was aware of.
“Please call over the other twelve Black Clan souls,” said Xu Qing, her voice cool.
The girl immediately nodded, and was about to leave, when she suddenly hesitated.
“Yes?” said Xu Qing, the coldness in her eyes glistening as she looked at the girl.
The girl’s body trembled, and she quickly said, “Grand Matriarch Phoenix, a few days ago Alchemist Fang Mu delivered this pill bottle. He said you had requested a pill to be concocted.” For some reason, the girl felt as if Grand Matriarch Phoenix was now even colder than she had been before.
She retrieved the pill bottle from her bag of holding and held it out.
Xu Qing’s expression was calm as she looked at the pill. Inwardly, though, her heart trembled, and her breathing grew rapid. She made a snatching motion, and the pill bottle flew into her hand. She unsealed the wax and poured the pill out of the bottle.
It was an ordinary medicinal pill, worth very little. However, despite its relative lack of worth, it caused an enormous storm of emotions to rise in her heart.
