Chapter 49 Time Flies Like a Rainbow

Stepping forward, I proudly displayed my unexpected encounter and found my reward—the Ghost Ship—among the items dropped by the Stone Guanyin.

He added it to his list of unusual mounts, showing off his adventure, before turning to look at Chu Liuxiang and the others.

What are you doing here?

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "That's a very long story."

After sharing their adventures with Xiu, Chu Liuxiang returned to the valley they had visited before.

“There is still a group of pitiful people here who are controlled by Shi Guanyin with poppies. Even if we can’t help them, we should destroy that harmful thing first.”

Looking at this endless sea of ​​flowers, Chu Liuxiang was troubled.

Showing off his extraordinary encounter was exactly the opposite of what he felt.

With sparkling eyes, she looked at the interactive flower in front of her and quickly tapped to collect it.

The next moment, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The once endless sea of ​​flowers was rapidly diminishing, and in no time, it was all packed into the backpack that showcased the adventure.

The flowers here are different from those in my home; how could I have stolen them all?

The next moment, something even more gratifying happened.

A traditional Chinese ink painting appeared in the center of the screen where people shared their amazing experiences.

She had initially thought it was a level completion event, but she suddenly realized that she had triggered another extraordinary adventure.

The four large characters "[Fleeting Years Like a Rainbow]" appeared in the center of the screen.

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

I can hardly believe my eyes when I see the amazing adventures they've shared.

One masterpiece a day, three days in a row—is this the kind of happiness she can have?

Will she have to pay off debts for the entire next season?

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he thought with horror.

Even though she was trembling inside, it didn't stop her from opening the world channel.

"Why can everyone else give birth to a peerless child, but I can't? (swallows a pickled cucumber) (vomits. Songzhi, Songzhi, I'm vomiting, I'm vomiting. Am I also pregnant with a peerless child?"

"Why can everyone else give birth to a peerless child, but I can't? (swallows pickled cucumbers frantically) (vomits. Songzhi, Songzhi, I'm vomiting, I'm vomiting. Am I also pregnant with a peerless child?"

The world chat was full of people showing off their amazing adventures, and she watched for a long time with reluctance before finally turning away, satisfied.

At this moment, she no longer resented Shi Guanyin for stealing her mission rewards.

Without this experience, she doesn't know when she would have been able to stage an accident and achieve her goal of "flowing years like rainbows".

Seeing a vast sea of ​​flowers disappear before his eyes, Chu Liuxiang was utterly shocked.

"Is this the power of fairies?"

My impression of Xiu Chu's adventures has finally changed from that of a young, easily fooled little fairy who needed protection to that of a powerful fairy with magical abilities.

Since she has such amazing abilities, can she also save those who have been controlled by Shi Guanyin with poppies?

Thinking of this, he quickly turned around to look at Xiu Chuqiyu.

"There are still a group of poor people being controlled in the valley. Can you save them?"

Before I could even share my answer to the question about the adventure, the system automatically popped up the corresponding task.

"Rescue the handsome men captured by Stone Guanyin (0/80)"

The system has already given the task, so naturally it won't fail.

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he nodded and followed Chu Liuxiang to the mission location.

Having obtained the blueprints for the Shi Guanyin family, Xiu Qiyu immediately recognized that the place where these controlled handsome men were located was a series of interconnected rooms.

Unlike the tranquility of the homestead, this place was unexpectedly noisy. Even from a great distance, you could see the constant wailing and lamentation flooding the current chat channel.

Chu Liuxiang, who was beside her, also heard it. His expression changed, and he used his lightness skill to rush forward.

Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that the handsome men who had been sweeping the floor had all been tied up with ropes and placed on the beds. Many of them had fallen to the floor during the struggles.

Upon seeing this, Chu Liuxiang helped one of them up and prepared to untie the rope.

"Don't untie the rope!"

A hoarse voice rang out.

Looking back after showing off his adventure, he saw an NPC named Liu Biefei, with a man whose face was completely disfigured and whose name was Huangfu Gao standing next to him.

"Shi Tuo, it's you!" Ji Bingyan stepped forward happily upon seeing the man whose face was completely disfigured: "You really are alive."

Hearing Ji Bingyan call him Stone Camel, he was somewhat puzzled by his extraordinary encounter.

"Isn't his name Huangfu Gao?"

"Huangfu Gao?" Upon hearing this name, Chu Liuxiang was taken aback, and his gaze towards Shi Tuo gradually turned from lighthearted to serious.

"Huangfu Gao, one of the Seven Swords of Mount Hua?"

Huangfu Gao lost his eyes and tongue due to the torment inflicted by Shi Guanyin, and can no longer speak.

Liu Biefei, who was standing next to him, sighed upon hearing this.

"Yes, he is indeed the Huangfu Gao you mentioned."

Ignoring the pity and sympathy in Chu Liuxiang and the others' eyes, Liu Biefei shifted his gaze to the handsome man tied up with ropes behind them.

"There's no need to feel sorry for Senior Brother. Rather than becoming a controlled walking corpse like them, Senior Brother would probably rather be deaf and blind."

Sensing the implication, Chu Liuxiang asked curiously, "Did you tie them up?"

Do you know what's wrong with them?

"He's having a drug withdrawal episode." Liu Biefei sighed. "Have you ever seen the sea of ​​flowers that Shi Guanyin has? It's a highly poisonous substance. Once you get involved, you'll never be able to escape its control for the rest of your life."

It wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that Chu Liuxiang realized how deadly that seemingly beautiful sea of ​​flowers was.

Before this, even though he had heard the female disciples in the valley mention them, Chu Liuxiang had only regarded them as ordinary poisons. He never imagined that they could be so dangerous.

Fortunately, the flower field was cleared away by the Green Aloe Fairy.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuxiang immediately turned to look at Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter.

"Could you save them?"

In JX3, rescue missions usually involve untying ropes or opening cages, so this is the first time I've encountered a rescue mission that requires dispelling abnormal statuses.

"This is a scam!"

"Dispelling abnormalities should clearly be categorized under dispensing antidotes!"

Unable to switch cultivation techniques, lacking Brahman skills, and without receiving the antidote provided by the system, Xiu Chu, frustrated, opened the trading post.

He spent a huge sum of money to buy 80 pills of Huagong San and gave them to Chu Liuxiang.

"This is a dispelling powder to dispel abnormal states. Just give each of them one pill."

"Dissolving Power Powder?" The name sounded rather frightening, so Chu Liuxiang had to ask another question.

"Won't this thing neutralize all their internal energy?"

Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she glanced at Chu Liuxiang with surprise: "What wonderful thing are you thinking about?"

"If you want to seal internal energy, you can only use Golden Needle Shadow if you don't have any skills. And that thing can only reduce internal energy attack by half, it doesn't completely seal it. I've never seen a small potion that can seal internal energy 100%."

Chu Liuxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately distributed the Dissolving Power Powder in his hand to Hu Tiehua and the others, asking them to help administer it to the bound handsome men.

As expected of the Dispelling Power Powder, it was used specifically to dispel negative energy. The moment the medicine entered their throats, and without even waiting for a moment longer, the many handsome men who had been in a daze regained their senses.

The resurfacing of memories from several years ago was difficult for most people present to accept. Only a few with stronger willpower managed to hold on and came forward to express their gratitude.

Chu Liuxiang shook his head: "No need for thanks. It was this Green Reed Fairy Mother who saved you. I dare not take credit for her."

The handsome men then noticed that Show's extraordinary encounter was unusual.

Despite his fear, the most handsome man in the model stepped forward and bowed to the person who had shared their extraordinary experience.

"Thank you for saving us from our suffering and for cleansing our minds of the dust, allowing us to return to the human world."

"I have nothing to repay you with except the knowledge of where the Stone Guanyin's treasure is hidden. I am willing to give it to you as a token of my gratitude for saving my life."

The person who had been staring longingly at the system task panel suddenly perked up.

"I was wondering why I couldn't submit the task even though I'd completed it. Turns out I hadn't claimed the task reward yet!"

They happily followed the other party to the treasure's location.

This place looks like a small oasis in the valley, but once you enter, you'll find that it's a completely different world inside.

Following the system prompts, the player avoided traps along the way and entered the cave, where they found a pile of gold and silver treasures. Opening one of the boxes, which clearly shone with the system's glow, the player successfully obtained a box of gold tickets.

The balance increased by ten bricks again.

"Shi Guanyin is really rich!"

"Give me more of these rich bosses."

Showing off their amazing encounter, they made a wish as they walked out.

Just as they were about to leave, the previous rescue mission disappeared from the quest log, and the main quest returned to the top.

"Huh?"

Showing off her adventure, she stopped and turned to look at the small oasis behind her.

"Isn't this the last oasis I've been searching for?"

"As expected, what I was looking for was right under my nose, and then it came to me without any effort!"

She casually took the last sign from her backpack and stuck it into the soil.

The next moment, the settlement interface appeared unexpectedly.

"Countless bones lie buried in the vast desert. Some are wanderers who have stumbled upon this place by chance, some are merchants who have no choice but to make a living in the desert, and some are bandits who roam the entire desert."

"This desert has buried too much hope and brought endless despair to people."

"But one day, this despair seemed to be dispelled. It was because this desert gave birth to its guardian deity - the Green Reed Fairy Mother."

"Whether they are stray pedestrians or merchants passing through, as long as they call upon the name of the Green Reed Fairy Mother, they can regain their hope for life."

"Remember the legend of that gem? Perhaps, compared to it, you are the true star of bliss."

System: "Congratulations to the player for clearing the game level 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang: The Great Desert' and achieving the ending 'The True Elysium'!"

System: "The completion reward will be sent to your mailbox one minute after you log out of the game. Please check your mailbox in time."

"The Star of Elysium? That's the gem that's only worth a thousand gold pieces?"

Unaware of the inside story, Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter left him extremely dissatisfied with the settlement.

"I, the self-proclaimed senior sister of the Seven Show Sect, have acquired so many expensive appearance items and failed items, and crafted legendary weapons at every level, yet the system says I'm only worth a thousand gold?"

Showing off one's extraordinary encounters is indeed a bit off-putting.

Angrily, he returned home, intending to replace the homestead blueprint he obtained in the dungeon.

Even if this dungeon grants her a peerless skill, it shouldn't be used to humiliate her like this!

Wait, an extraordinary encounter?

Thinking about how I had just released "Fleeting Time" and it was still fresh in my mind, I hesitated to show off my adventures.

If it's this kind of insulting method, then it's not unacceptable.

Before she could decide whether or not to change the blueprint for her homestead, Kunyu Xuanjing walked towards her excitedly.

"Look what I got?"
