Li Qing, at heart still pure and kind, decided to leave behind the "Qi Nourishing Technique" for the Qingyun Sect as a parting gesture. The Qingyi Daoist personally escorted the three of them down the mountain.
The three considered their trip fruitful and prepared to head to Shu Mountain to discuss countermeasures against the Blood Demon. The Qingyi Daoist kept watching them until they disappeared from sight. Only then did the seemingly "gravely injured" Fatty Daoist reveal himself.
"Senior Brother, Little Fan... he..."
The Qingyi Daoist shook his head, cutting him off.
