65 The Evil Master 16

◎He wanted to get closer to his master's wife.◎

Xixuan was the first to disagree with such a proposal.

The Grand Elder knew what he was worried about and asked bluntly, "Xi Xuan, for all these years, you've kept her in the sect. Has it really been beneficial to her?"

"I don't believe you can't see that the constraints on her cultivation have loosened somewhat. For a genius like your wife, the status of a Venerable Madam is not her final destination. As long as there is a glimmer of hope for cultivation, she will not give up."

"Xixuan, it's time to let her go out and gain some experience."

The Grand Elder sighed, "If she were to unexpectedly find an opportunity to repair her foundation, perhaps she could ascend with you in the future."

It would be great if I could live with my wife forever and ascend to heaven together.

Xixuan was convinced.

During these two hundred years, his wife seldom went out. Even though she knew that the powerful demons in the Wuya Mountains gathered in the central area with the most abundant spiritual energy, she still felt worried.

He touched his bulging belly and felt the baby kicking frequently, and he always had a bad feeling.

Xi Xuan did not make a hasty decision about whether his wife should stay or go. After asking, he received a positive answer. Noticing her subtle improvement in cultivation, he did not say anything to dissuade her.

Before leaving, Xi Xuan gave her the golden phoenix feather robe that protected her body.

The golden phoenix feather robe can only be condensed by the members of the clan with the strongest phoenix bloodline.

Xi Xuan has only managed to acquire this one item in his practice so far. Its body-protecting ability is difficult to break even for a cultivator in the Mingxin realm.

In the original text, Yan Yingchan insisted on going with him, and the golden phoenix feather robe was given to Yan Yingchan for protection.

Su Yanmei smiled and said nothing more, then casually accepted the Phoenix Feather Gold Robe.

"Yan Mei, if there's any danger, don't hold on." Xi Xuan stared at her deeply, his scarlet-gold pupils reflecting only her figure, his worry unconcealed. "...be careful about everything."

He held her hand and placed it on his bulging belly: "The child and I are waiting for you to come home."

As if knowing that Su Yanmei was about to leave, the kid playing with toys next to her also rushed over and hugged her legs, calling in a soft voice: "Mother~Mother~"

The child, who was over half a year old, was held up by Su Yanmei with his little arms and legs. He spoke in a sweet little voice, nestled in her arms, and kissed her.

The baby's cheeks were soft and tender, and his whole body smelled of milk. Su Yanmei kissed him back several times.

The child giggled when he was kissed.

The family was happy and harmonious. After a simple farewell, Su Yanmei and Xixuan's two disciples headed to the Wuya Mountains.

In the world of immortal cultivation, there are immortal cultivation sects and also gathering places for demons.

A sect like Xihe Sect, which is recognized as the number one immortal sect, has exclusive possession of three spiritual veins. All the surrounding mountains, large and small, are included in the sect's scope, and its area is vast.

The Boundless Mountains, with their abundant spiritual energy, attracted countless demon tribes.

Such an area that can be regarded as a natural training ground naturally attracts the covetousness of monks.

For thousands of years, many sects, big and small, have tried to occupy it, but all of them failed.

The three of them were on this trip just to collect herbs, and they didn't want to provoke anyone in the center of the Wuya Mountains. If they were more cautious, there wouldn't be too much danger.

Out of consideration for Ji Zongxue's health, the three of them did not fly their own swords. Instead, Su Yanmei controlled a flying boat to carry them there.

The Wuya Mountains are tens of thousands of miles away from the Xihe Sect, a distance comparable to a natural chasm. Even with an extremely fast flying boat, it would take at least ten days to arrive.

Therefore, Su Yanmei and Zhao Lin took turns to control the flying magic weapon.

Stop to rest when you get tired.

So, on the morning of the thirteenth day, the flying boat passed through the thin, snow-white clouds, and in the distance, one could see endless green ahead.

The deep emerald green color looks like an emerald gem covering the earth.

The Wuya Mountains covered a vast area, with endless peaks, all covered in vegetation. The spiritual energy here was abundant, and even the vegetation was more lush.

There are towering trees, dense clusters of wild flowers, thick green shrubs and grass half a person's height, and hot and humid air. It is a place where many snakes, insects, rats and ants like to gather.

It was autumn, and the temperature should have been getting cooler, but here in the Wuya Mountains, it was still as hot and humid as midsummer.

After putting away the flying boat, the three of them entered from the outskirts of the Wuya Mountains.

The golden morning light shines through the gaps between the dense leaves, casting irregular spots of light. The fog in the forest has not yet completely dissipated, and a layer of hazy and light white mist floats in front.

Generally speaking, only small monsters such as those at the Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Golden Core stages can be found in the outskirts of the Wuya Mountains.

Even the little Jindan demons can dominate the periphery.

After passing the outer layer and entering the middle zone, the monsters' cultivation levels gradually changed from Golden Core to Nascent Soul and Spiritualization...

The closer you get to the center of the Boundless Mountains, the more abundant the spiritual energy is, and the more powerful the monsters that appear will be.

Fortunately, their target this time is in the central area, and they only need to deal with some monsters below the Dongxu level.

As for Dongxu, Mingxin, and some unknown great demons called Hedao, they rarely leave the central area where spiritual energy is most abundant.

As long as they are cautious, it is not difficult to deal with.

In the original plot, Xi Xuan, with his great cultivation level of He Dao, brought Yan Yingchan and broke into the central area, accidentally entering the secret realm of inheritance of ancient mythical beasts.

The formation in that secret realm was extremely mysterious, and its owner was insidious, cunning, and cruel. Although Xixuan was on guard, he still fell into the trap.

Finally, when he broke the formation, he smashed the secret realm of inheritance into pieces, dug out the bones of the divine beast hidden in the underground palace, and together with the bones of the ferocious beast buried in one place, he created many magical instruments and immortal instruments for Yan Yingchan.

Because this secret realm of inheritance was forcibly destroyed, the abundant spiritual energy gathered in the Boundless Mountains gradually disappeared, and the great monsters left one after another, seeking new treasure lands, causing a bloody storm in the world of immortal cultivation.

But now, they don't need to go.

Naturally, he would not mistakenly enter the improper secret realm formation that even Lianhedao could not resist.

This is also the reason why Su Yanmei felt at ease coming to the Wuya Mountains.

The three of them walked for a whole day, from dawn to dusk, but they still had not left the outer perimeter.

Most of the creatures here have awakened their spiritual intelligence, and will stay away from powerful cultivators when they see them.

As for those little monsters, if they rush over, they will die under Zhao Lin's sword.

Zhao Lin is now half a step away from becoming a god. He only needs an opportunity to trigger a thunder tribulation, and once he gets through it, he can truly enter the state of becoming a god.

On the periphery, even if all the little demons rushed over, they would not be able to block his sword.

On the second day after entering the Wuya Mountains, Ji Zongxue made a rotatable body protection formation for everyone, surrounding them, neither too much nor too little, just enough to absorb the spiritual energy of the place for circulation.

Su Yanmei looked at the "little bug" that was circling around her like a bee, and felt it was strange and novel.

I have a real and preliminary understanding of the formation genius mentioned in the original text.

Others like to study large-scale, extremely powerful formations, but it is not difficult for Ji Zongxue to learn these. In addition, he also likes to tinker with some strange and bizarre formations of his own creation.

For example, the movable protective formation now makes it difficult for ordinary Jindan demons to approach, let alone those snakes, insects and poisonous creatures hiding in the grass.

Walking in the boundless mountains where monsters are everywhere and dangers are lurking, it feels like walking on flat ground.

That evening, when passing by a gurgling stream, Su Yanmei stopped, dipped a handkerchief in water, wrung it out, and wiped her face and neck.

Although monks can use the Dust Cleansing Technique to clean themselves, the weather is so humid and hot that they will sweat in a short while.

Su Yanmei is very afraid of heat.

If conditions permit, she would like to take a bath.

She took off her turquoise outer shirt, revealing her skin as white as mutton-fat jade. She was more plump than ordinary people, with round shoulders and well-proportioned arms, so white that it was almost glowing.

Zhao Lin and Ji Zongxue, who were resting under a tree at the back, looked away at the same time.

But that touch of white as white as snow and jade remained in the eyes of the two.

Zhaolin held the sword in his arms and tightened it unconsciously.

Ji Zongxue lowered her head to look at her fingers, and when she rubbed them with her fingertips, it felt like she was pinching and twisting them.

Su Yanmei wiped all the exposed skin, and only then did she feel a real coolness in the stuffy heat.

After running around in the Boundless Mountains for four or five days, as the spiritual energy became more and more abundant, the cultivation level of the surrounding monsters also gradually improved, and a few monsters with the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul could be vaguely seen.

The other party also discovered them and stared at them eagerly, but did not take any action.

Ji Zongxue adjusted the protective formation of the three people. As the spiritual energy that could be absorbed from the surroundings increased, the formation was barely improved to the point where it could withstand attacks from the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

Su Yanmei smiled brightly, not sparing any praise. "Fuwei once told me that you have an exceptional talent for formations. Now I know you are indeed far superior to others. Even your master, at your age, wouldn't dare claim to be able to surpass you in formations."

"But I heard that Master's wife's talent in formation was the highest among her peers back then."

The young man seemed to be speaking carelessly, but Su Yanmei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said no more.

Ji Zongxue paused in his steps.

He could feel that he seemed to have said something wrong.

The boy's mind suddenly became a little confused. He subconsciously touched the white fox on his shoulder. The soft fur temporarily calmed his disordered heartbeat.

Tomorrow they would fully enter the central region to search for the final ingredient. So, that night, the three of them found an uninhabited cave and rested for the night to recuperate.

Su Yanmei released the blue bird and was responsible for guarding outside.

Unlike the humid and hot outside, the cave is cool at night, even damp.

But for Su Yanmei, who is afraid of heat, it is just right.

As usual, the three of them stayed close to each other while they rested.

But Ji Zongxue couldn't fall asleep tonight. She tossed and turned on the blanket, and the face of her master's wife, whose smile suddenly faded, kept appearing in front of her eyes.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Ji Zongxue would think of how he had said the wrong thing today and made his master's wife unhappy.

Thinking of his master's wife being unhappy, his breathing became heavier.

The young man turned over twice on the carpet, and finally turned his head to look at his master's wife who was taking a nap against the dark mountain wall.

He thought for a moment, then carefully emerged from the blanket. He walked quietly to his master's wife, sat beside her, hugged her legs, and whispered, "Master's wife, I'm sorry."

Hearing the voice, Su Yanmei opened her slightly hazy eyes, revealing a look of doubt.

"My words today have angered Master's Wife," Ji Zongxue explained softly, "I just want to know, Master's Wife has a great talent for formations, why isn't she willing to teach me personally?"

He rested his chin on his knees, tilted his head slightly, and his beautiful eyes were wet, just like his beautiful fox.

The boy was born extremely handsome, with a face as beautiful as ice and snow. At this moment, he looked like a well-behaved little animal, unconsciously attracting people's pity.

Su Yanmei touched his head, like an elder showing love to a younger one——

"My cultivation has only reached the level of Divine Transformation. What can I teach you?"

"After some time, Zongxue's cultivation and understanding of formations will far surpass mine."

Her tone was not lonely, and even contained some relief. However, Ji Zongxue blinked hard, and when her eyelashes were lightly wet, he suddenly reached out and hugged her without warning, burying his head in her shoulders and neck.

"Master's Wife, I'm sorry. I thought, I thought it was Master's Wife who felt that I was not worthy of being your disciple..."

Su Yanmei was amused. She patted his shoulder and said softly, "How could that be? Zongxue is so outstanding. Even your master has praised you in front of me more than once."

Ji Zongxue didn't say anything else, but choked slightly in his throat and hugged her even tighter.

The gentle and tolerant master's wife did not push him away, but just let him hug her.

The young man closed his eyes slightly, his body shaking uncontrollably, not out of sadness or self-blame, but out of excitement and excitement.

Ji Zongxue has always known that he is abnormal. Just touching other people's skin will cause some physical abnormalities.

This is especially true when touching the master's wife.

Therefore, he always wraps himself up tightly and doesn't like to interact with others.

But now, he wanted to get closer to his master's wife.

Get closer.
