After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 397 Heavenly Rank Talent

When Shen Xu opened his eyes, he found himself lying in his bed in his cabin.

Rubbing his still slightly dizzy head, Shen Xu asked in confusion, "Who brought me back?"

But looking at the dim yellow sky, Shen Xu knew that he must have slept for a long time.

"How long have I been asleep?" Shen Xu asked the white crane that flew in through the window.

"About three days."

"So long!" Shen Xu was immediately shocked.

Taking the Three-Turn Marrow Cultivation Pill was far too dangerous. Without Gu Mulin's assistance, he would probably have died.

"Is anything wrong outside?"

“I know!” Qi Lingbaihe rolled her eyes at him.

"Three days. The auction lasts seven days and is almost over. I wonder if I've missed anything."

Who is currently in Qingling Creek?

"Everyone is here. Xiao Ruo is here too. Lord Baiyu City has returned to Baiyu City."

"Then I'm really not a good guardian. Come with me to see them!"

"Tch, I don't like playing with kids!" Qi Ling Baihe gave a look of disdain.

"Hmm? What did she do to you?" Shen Xu was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Qi Ling Bai He and Xiao Ruo should have a good relationship, since they could be considered to belong to the same clan.

"It's nothing, go by yourself." After saying that, the Qiling White Crane flapped its wings and flew away from the wooden house.

"What's going on!" Shen Xu scratched his head, then got up and walked out of the wooden house. He was going to ask what had happened in the past few days.

"Bai Lu, can you come down and ask me a few questions?" Shen Xu waved to Bai Lu, who was sitting or lying in a hanging basket on the third-floor balcony, lost in thought.

Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, Bai Lu snapped out of her reverie and looked at him with great surprise. However, as if remembering something, she got up and went inside.

Shen Xu thought Bai Lu had come down, so he waited for her for a while, but he never saw her again. Guan Bi, on the other hand, poked her head out from the second floor after a while, but she didn't seem to have any intention of coming down to find him.

"Brother Xu, you're finally awake!" At this moment, he saw Xiao Ru fly down from Li Xiaoyi's second floor. Her golden and red wings flapped and closed beautifully in the sunset.

Seeing Xiao Ruo flying straight towards him, Shen Xu quickly moved away by a body length. Xiao Ruo had no choice but to hurriedly flap her wings and then land steadily in front of him.

"Why didn't Brother Xu catch Xiao Ruo?" Xiao Ruo asked, somewhat unhappy.

"I'm still injured. Where's your sister Xiao Yi?" Shen Xu probably understood why Qi Ling Bai He didn't like this child. He didn't have any of the Qi Ling clan's reserve and arrogance.

But this child is quite different from before! He remembered that the child seemed quite shy before, how come he has become so outgoing after just a few days?

Shen Xu scratched his head in confusion. He didn't understand what had happened in the past few days, and why everyone had become so strange.

"Didn't you say you were fine? How come you've been unconscious for so long?" At this moment, Li Xiaoyi also came out of the attic.

"I never expected the effects of the Three-Turn Marrow Cultivation Pill to be so potent. I should have listened to you and made thorough preparations before taking the pill."

Shen Xu sighed softly, belatedly realizing that the situation still left him with lingering fear.

"It's not your problem, it's the problem with that pill," Li Xiaoyi said calmly.

"Is there something wrong with the pill? But I did break free of my shackles and go from Human Rank to Earth Rank talent." Shen Xu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

“That pill is indeed a third-stage marrow cultivation pill, but it’s not an ordinary third-stage marrow cultivation pill,” Ye Zhi said as she walked over.

“I took the pill box you left behind to Lord Renwang. He said that in the residual scent of that pill, he found some spiritual herbs that should not belong to the Three-Turn Marrow Cultivation Pill. They were very precious, but they were very harmonious when layered together.”

Lord Renwang guesses that you took a modified Three-Turn Marrow Refining Pill. As for the difference in effect between the modified Three-Turn Marrow Refining Pill and the ordinary Three-Turn Marrow Refining Pill...

Even the King of Kings couldn't tell the difference from just a faint scent.

Therefore, you'd better ask the person who sold you the pills to be sure, just in case there are any further problems.

“I went to look for him, but I couldn’t find him. However, he left you a letter at the Tianhe Club, but I didn’t open it,” Bai Lu said from behind him.

Shen Xu turned around and saw Bai Lu walking slowly towards him with Guan Bi. Although their positions were no different from usual, Shen Xu still keenly sensed something was amiss.

Bai Lu's tone seemed somewhat cold, just like when he first met her, and Guan Bi deliberately avoided looking at him, her expression somewhat unnatural.

This strange feeling made Shen Xu frown. What exactly happened between the two of them?

But he was happy to see the change in their attitudes towards him, and there was no need to dig deeper.

After receiving the letter from Bai Lu, Shen Xu thought for a moment and then asked Xiao Ruo, "Xiao Ruo, do you think I should open this letter?"

Since Yun Mulin may have tampered with the pills, he could no longer trust Yun Mulin, and he had to be wary of the letters Yun Mulin had left him.

Since Xiao Ruo possesses the bloodline of the Qiling White Crane, she should have also inherited the Qiling clan's talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

"Why did you ask me about Brother Xu's letter?" Xiao Ru asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because this letter might be dangerous, and I trust Xiaoruo a lot, I want Xiaoruo to help me decide whether or not to open it."

"Danger? But Xiaoruo thinks this letter is very beautiful!"

"Beautiful?" Shen Xu looked at the ordinary yellow paper envelope in front of him with some doubt.

However, considering the Qiling clan's talents, he guessed that what Xiaoruo saw was probably not dangerous, and might even be beneficial to her.

During Xiao Ruo's two days in Qingling Creek, the other women naturally noticed a bit about the relationship between Xiao Ruo and Qiling Baihe, so they were all a little surprised to hear Xiao Ruo's answer.

“I’ve already had someone check it, and there’s nothing wrong with the letter; it’s just an ordinary letter,” Bai Lu said.

"Bai Lu, thank you." Shen Xu said to Bai Lu.

He glanced at Bai Lu and Guan Bi again; the two seemed to have returned to normal, or more accurately, the awkward feeling around Guan Bi had disappeared.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of distractions, Shen Xu tore open the letter in his hand, but the first line of text made his heart race.

Do you know how to obtain a Heavenly Rank talent?

After a while, Shen Xu slowly closed the letter, but the shock in his heart lingered.

"What does it say?" Bai Lu couldn't help but ask.

"Yun Mulin wants me to meet him."

"How dare he!" Bai Lu said through gritted teeth. If it weren't for that three-stage marrow-cultivation pill, things might not have turned out this way.

"There was nothing wrong with the pill. In his letter, he detailed the dangers he experienced after taking the pill and provided his experience on how to deal with them."

His description was similar to my experience; he probably didn't expect me to be in such a hurry to take that Three-Turn Marrow Cultivation Pill.

"Then why are you in such a hurry! This letter was delivered to me the next day at noon, and you must explain it clearly today!" Bai Lu's eyes were full of seriousness.

"I don't want you to worry about me. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Shen Xu wanted to change the subject.

"Do you think we weren't worried about you during the days you were in a coma? If you encountered any difficulties, just tell us, and we can help you solve them."

"I'm sorry, there's nothing you can do for me."

What he wants to do most right now is to leave Xingchuan Domain. The four women are destined not to help him with this, and may even try to stop him. So he must not reveal his thoughts before he has made all the necessary preparations.

Otherwise, Su Jing would serve as a cautionary tale!

Seeing Shen Xu's continued reluctance to speak, Bai Lu fell into an unprecedented state of confusion.

She had clearly made up her mind to give him to Guan Bi and to stay away from Shen Xu, but the moment she saw him, she realized that she couldn't do either of those things.

But her concern didn't elicit any response from the other party. Who can tell her what she should do?
