Chapter 104 Going on a mission together
After leaving the Wuhua Sect's sphere of influence, the two carefully observed their surroundings, and after confirming that there was no danger, they tacitly put away the small ark.
They took out their respective flying swords and rode on them. This not only kept their speed up, but also gave them a chance to gain experience along the way, improving their strength and their ability to deal with emergencies.
"Sister, the prosperous city you see ahead is Luoyang City. Why don't we go in for a walk and take a rest before setting off again?" Shi Qinghan asked with a smile, turning his head to look at Gu Shihan behind him.
"No problem! I'm a little tired too, so let's go to the city to see if there is anything interesting." Gu Shihan agreed readily, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, turned into two streams of light and rushed towards Luoyang City.
After a while, they landed at the city gate and walked into the bustling city side by side.
There were many shops on both sides of the street, shouts were heard one after another, and people were coming and going, which was very lively. After some searching, they finally found a large restaurant in the city center.
After entering the restaurant, the two found a seat by the window and ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes. They savored the food while admiring the street view outside the window.
Just then, a burst of discussion came from the next table.
"Have you heard? There are strange phenomena appearing at Wanjian Cliff, and it is estimated that rare treasures have appeared in the world! Lao Guo, you are here for the rare treasures too, right?!" a monk in a blue robe asked curiously.
The cultivator known as Lao Guo shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "Haha, I have thought about it, but I really don't want to get the treasure. Wanjian Cliff is not a good place, it is extremely dangerous. I am just here to join in the fun!"
After hearing this conversation, Gu Shihan immediately asked Xingbai to find out the news.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xing Bai's message came over, "Hanhan, I just checked, and there is indeed a rare treasure that has appeared in the Wanjian Cliff. It is said that it is a divine sword of astonishing power that is about to choose a master!"
When Gu Shihan heard this, his eyes, which had been as calm as water, suddenly lit up.
Wanjian Cliff? She knew this place. It was said that every five hundred years a magic sword would appear and choose its master.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Shi Qinghan opposite her, and said in a low voice: "Brother, you have now formed a golden elixir, and your strength has greatly increased. You are just in need of a sword to help you! Why don't we go over and join in the fun and try our luck? Who knows, maybe you can become the owner of that magic sword!"
She stared at Shi Qinghan with full anticipation, her beautiful eyes flashing with excitement and excitement, as if she had already seen Shi Qinghan holding the magic sword, looking majestic.
She thought to herself that such a coincidence must have been specially arranged by heaven for Shi Qinghan.
Facing the sister's proposal, Shi Qinghan frowned slightly, trying to suppress the throbbing in his heart caused by the magic sword, and slowly said: "Sister, let's not talk about whether the magic sword is choosing a master or not. If there is a rare treasure in Wanjian Cliff, it will definitely attract many high-level cultivators to compete for it. With our current insignificant cultivation, we are just two rookies who have just started out. How can we get a share of this fierce competition? But it's okay to go and join in the fun."
Gu Shihan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile. Her smart eyes flashed with cunning light, and she thought to herself: Shi Qinghan is a man with great luck, but this matter must not be told to him, as the saying goes, the secret of heaven cannot be easily revealed!
"Brother, we are no longer rookies! After all, we are cultivators in the Golden Core Stage and have officially entered the ranks of cultivators.
Besides, the sword is not something that anyone can take away! Because the sword has a spirit, it will choose its master on its own. Even if someone has bad intentions and tries to steal the sword by killing people, it will be in vain.
If the master chosen by the magic sword dies within three years, the magic sword will return to Wanjian Cliff on its own. So, we can just join in the fun and try our luck this time." Gu Shihan explained with a sweet smile.
After hearing this, Shi Qinghan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, sister, what you said is very true. In this case, let's go and take a look. If we are lucky enough to get the magic sword, it would be great; if we are not lucky enough to get the magic sword, it is also destined, so there is no need to force it."
Hearing this, Gu Shihan couldn't help but smile, nodded in appreciation and said, "Hehe, big brother, you really have a good character! Such an open-minded and easy-going attitude is really admirable. It makes me feel relaxed and happy to be friends with someone like you!"
"Sister, I'm not being kind-hearted. It's just that we finally came to this land of immortal cultivation. The first priority is to live well. If you can get treasures, get them. If you can't, forget it. Although cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven, staying alive is the most important thing!"
"You're right! I'm not the kind of person who would do anything reckless. None of us can do anything reckless. Since we've decided to try our luck, let's stay in Luoyang City for one night and leave tomorrow."
"Okay!" The two of them booked two guest rooms and strolled around Luoyang City casually.
The next morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the sun had just peeked out, emitting a soft and warm light. Facing the morning light, the two set out on their journey to Wanjian Cliff.
Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, with rolling hills and shady green trees, but they had no intention of appreciating it. They only wanted to reach their destination as soon as possible.
On the way, we occasionally passed other monks, some were alone, some were in groups of two or three, and each of them had a different expression and purpose on his face.
Everyone seemed to have telepathic communication, keeping their distance tacitly and moving forward along their own routes.
At the beginning, the two were able to fly on their swords and enjoy the thrill of speeding in the air.
But as they got closer to Wanjian Cliff, the atmosphere around them became increasingly solemn.
Suddenly, an invisible force enveloped the area, making it impossible for them to control the flying swords.
It turns out that this is a restricted area and no one is allowed to fly here.
Gu Shihan stopped and looked at the smog ahead. He frowned and said, "Brother, there is miasma ahead. Be careful not to inhale it."
He quickly took out a small jade bottle from the storage bracelet, gently opened the bottle cap, poured out two crystal clear pills, handed one to Shi Qinghan, and took one himself.
Shi Qinghan took the pill and put it into his mouth and swallowed it without hesitation.
The pill melted in the mouth and turned into a stream of cool air that rushed to the limbs and bones, instantly dispelling the miasma that had invaded the body. The two adjusted their state and continued to move forward.
