Chapter 163: Burning Yuan Pill
Upon hearing this, Yue Huai almost choked on his drink. He coughed lightly, put down his glass, thought carefully, and spoke seriously.
"I haven't paid much attention, but there aren't many maids in my courtyard, and they're all average-looking."
Seeing his serious answer, Jingwu felt a little embarrassed. She touched her nose and quickly changed the subject, continuing to drink with the person in front of her.
The two drank until midnight before returning to their respective rooms to rest.
The maid, having been neglected all night, thought she had escaped a disaster.
The next day, however, the steward sent her to the outer courtyard to become a cleaning maid, and she would never have the chance to meet any important people again in her life.
When Jingwu woke up again, it was already noon.
She slept soundly and felt refreshed. After getting up and having breakfast, she went to find Yue Huai and they went to the Guanyin Temple together.
Yue Huai got up a little earlier than her and had already gotten ready, just waiting for her.
The two went to the Guanyin Temple together, only to find that it was still the same wasteland.
Jingwu followed Yiyun's advice and went to find the fifth big tree. He carefully looked around the tree but did not see any formation.
She looked closely at the tree and saw a small, golden snail crawling on its rough bark.
Jingwu frowned, feeling puzzled. He reached out and cast a spell on the snail.
In an instant, the snail turned to ashes, and the surrounding scenery changed instantly.
A dozen or so lush trees stand on both sides, with a narrow, cobblestone path leading deep into the valley.
Looking into the distance, a temple stands deep within, with the three large characters "Guanyin Temple" written on its plaque.
Seeing this situation, Yue Huai stood still and didn't move.
Is this the maze that Yi Yun spoke of? One wrong step and you're worlds apart, with no way to find your way back.
Jingwu realized at this moment that this was a maze formation. He exchanged a glance with the person next to him and immediately began to work together to break the formation.
The two had practiced for a long time, so breaking the formation was quite easy for them.
A moment later, the formation was broken, and the surrounding environment changed instantly, with an ancient yet exquisite Guanyin temple appearing in front of the two.
Jingwu stepped forward first and pushed open the solemn door.
Upon entering, one sees a situation similar to the previous two temples.
Large numbers of people stood in front of the main hall, their faces blank as they worshipped the statues of gods inside.
The statue was still completely wrapped in red cloth, making it impossible to see what it actually was.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jingwu skillfully broke the array inside the locust tree and destroyed the statue.
Seeing the people lying all over the ground, he was about to walk forward with the people next to him when he heard a slight noise from behind.
She quickly dodged, avoiding the attack of the spell.
Jingwu turned around and saw Yiyang standing in front of him.
"We meet again. This time, you definitely can't escape."
Yi Yang's lips curled slightly, his eyes looking at the two people in front of him as if they were poisoned.
These two have ruined a lot of his plans!
A few days ago, he felt a sudden pain in his heart and realized something was wrong. He immediately did some calculations and learned that his most beloved rabbit had died at the hands of the two of them.
Yi Yang absolutely hated the two of them and wished he could grind them to dust immediately!
Jingwu looked him up and down and noticed that he had lost a lot of weight and looked much more haggard than before.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, a plan forming in his mind.
She turned her head and exchanged a glance with the boy beside her. Then, the two of them simultaneously made hand seals and chanted incantations, determined to capture the person in front of them alive.
But the next second, a smile appeared on Yi Yang's lips. He neither dodged nor flinched, but raised his hand and waved it, and an array immediately appeared under the feet of the three of them.
Jingwu looked at the formation beneath his feet, and his heart skipped a beat.
Is this a spirit-annihilation array?
She frowned as she saw the person in front of her also standing in the formation. Was Yi Yang planning to perish together with them?
"Hahahaha! You've finally fallen into my hands. Now, let's see how you two manage to run away!"
Yi Yang stood within the formation, his smile gradually twisting into a grimace.
In all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever been defeated twice by a young girl.
This time, he was determined to kill her here! Even if it meant dying together!
"This formation was set up with my heart's blood; it cannot be broken without the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage. This time, I will make sure that both of you die here!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Huai panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down.
He carefully observed the formation and confirmed that, as Yi Yang had said, his heart's blood was at the very center of the formation, and only those with a cultivation level of at least the Nascent Soul stage could break it.
However, my father once said that if we are in dire straits, we can take the Burning Essence Pill.
After taking it, one's cultivation level will increase dramatically, and this effect will last for half an hour.
Half an hour is enough for him to break the formation.
However, once the effects of the medicine wear off, the spiritual energy in the body will be quickly depleted, and the meridians will be damaged because they cannot withstand the strain, requiring decades to recover.
Yue Huai pondered this matter in his mind, then turned to look at the person beside him. If he collapsed here after the effects of the drug wore off, she would probably take him back, right?
Jingwu was racking his brains for a solution and didn't notice the actions of the person next to him.
A moment later, she decided to summon heavenly lightning to punish the person in front of her and severely injure him.
Take advantage of his serious injury and the weakened power of the formation to break the formation.
As Jingwu was thinking this, he saw the person beside him take out a pill and was about to swallow it.
Her pupils contracted, and she immediately grabbed his hand.
What would you like to eat?
Yue Huai blinked, but before he could speak, the person in front of him spoke again.
"Burning Essence Pill? Are you crazy?" Jingwu immediately stopped him, grabbing his hand and saying, "Things haven't come to that yet. Let me first summon the Heavenly Punishment and see if there's any chance of a turnaround."
Upon hearing this, Yi Yang rushed in front of the two and said, "Hahahaha, wishful thinking. When you entered the Guanyin Temple, the Evil God set up a barrier. This barrier can withstand the Heavenly Dao. Do you think you can summon heavenly lightning? You used the same trick to kill my most beloved disciple. Do you think I would let you use it a second time?"
He looked at the young boy and girl in front of him and smiled in a twisted way.
He didn't intend to stop Yue Huai from taking the Burning Yuan Pill, since it wouldn't be of any use to him anyway, and he definitely wouldn't be able to break the formation.
Even if it is broken open, his meridians will be damaged, and it may take anywhere from several decades to a hundred years for him to fully recover.
If the only son of the prestigious Yue family, a renowned lineage of Xuanmen, were to become a cripple with damaged meridians, what a devastating blow that would be to the Yue family.
Jingwu frowned deeply, pressing down on the hand of the person beside her to prevent him from swallowing the pill.
My mind raced, trying to think of any other solutions.
Just then, a brilliant idea struck her.
