Chapter 92, What does the character 艹 (plant) mean?
Chong Jiu looked at Shu Jianyue and said, "You protect me while I lift the second seal."
"Okay." Shu Jianyue nodded and pulled Yan Xi and Yu Chuan to stand aside.
Using the same method, a needle as thin as a hair was pulled out, and the moxibustion successfully restored 20% of his cultivation, bringing him to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Feeling the pull of the secret realm's power, Chong Jiu immediately suppressed his cultivation to the ninth level of the Golden Core stage.
Then, let that energy circulate within the body before returning it to the chalcedony.
Chong Jiu stood up and handed the jade marrow to Shu Jianyue, saying, "Be careful to absorb it, don't use up all the energy, we still need this jade marrow."
Shu Jianyue nodded, absorbing all the energy inside until only a trace remained. However, her ability did not advance this time, but she could feel that she had reached the maximum level of level five. With just a little more energy, she could advance to level six.
His superpowers didn't improve, but his cultivation level jumped to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, skipping two levels.
However, he suppressed it, preventing his true cultivation level from showing.
Shu Jianyue felt that she didn't need to cultivate; she could just eat fruit and absorb the supernatural abilities from Chenxin.
He handed the chalcedony to Chong Jiu and asked, "What is the purpose of this?"
Chong Jiu put away the chalcedony and said, "The chalcedony that grows alongside the solitary lotus naturally has similar effects."
The two of them, holding Yan Xi's and Yu Chuan's hands, walked out while talking.
As they approached the cave entrance, Shu Jianyue paused and looked at Chong Jiu, "Did you already know they were outside?"
Chong Jiu nodded. "Yes, they arrived when we came in. Your attention was focused on the Dushenglian, so you didn't notice them."
Shu Jianyue's eyes darted around, and she pulled him and the two children away, disappearing into the shadows.
Xin Yue and Fang Di were still waiting outside.
However, they waited and waited, but they never saw them come out.
Finally, Xin Yue probed inside with his spiritual power and discovered that the person inside had already left.
Enraged, he smashed a nearby rock, shouting, "They're gone!"
Fang Di looked around and, seeing that he was really gone, immediately turned and left.
Although Xin Yue had come beforehand, he only stayed for a day and couldn't possibly have searched the place thoroughly.
So he quickened his pace to search and see if there was anything good.
Xin Yue glanced at it, frowned as he looked at the cave for a while, and then they took the lotus flower away.
They went in because of that lotus flower, but the lotus flower had no spiritual energy and was obviously not a spiritual flower or herb. What would they do with it?
Xin Yue thought for a moment, then flew towards the center of the secret realm.
If his plan succeeds, then what they get will be his; why bother searching for them one by one?
This time, Shu Jianyue didn't use her mental power. Instead, she just went wherever she could and collected whatever she saw.
Yu Chuan, naturally, couldn't stay still, so he dragged Yan Xi away to play by himself.
Although Shu Jianyue was still worried, she agreed anyway.
We don't know what Xin Yue is going to do yet, but we can't keep the children from playing all the time, as that could easily lead to rebellious behavior.
Shu Jianyue was picking a medicinal herb at this moment. It was of average quality, but it was better than nothing.
Chong Jiu stayed by her side. He wasn't interested in the things in this secret realm; he had only come in for her sake.
Sensing an unusual fluctuation, Chong Jiu pulled Shu Jianyue up and flew into the air.
"Someone activated the formation."
"What kind of formation?" Shu Jianyue immediately used her spiritual power to look.
It hadn't gone very far before I felt my spiritual energy draining away.
Shu Jianyue immediately took out several bottles of spiritual elixir and drank them, then handed several bottles to Chong Jiu.
"There's an altar in the center, and Xin Yue is there. Let's go there quickly."
"Alright, don't use your spiritual power, I'll take you there." Chong Jiu's condition wasn't as serious as hers; if you wanted to take spiritual power from him, you couldn't do it without immortal-level cultivation.
Chong Jiu led Shu Jianyue to the center of the secret realm, where they saw many more people arriving, all of whom were weakly using their spirit swords as canes.
Yu Chuan and Yan Xi were not there.
When Xin Yue saw the two of them arrive, he burst into laughter, "You've come at the right time. My sacrificial array is almost complete, and you will be the bait for my array."
Shu Jianyue looked at the formation on the altar and felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"Chongjiu, doesn't this formation look familiar?"
Chong Jiu tapped her on the head and said, "The demon-attracting array on that demon bone."
Shu Jianyue blurted out: "Damn it (plant)!"
"No wonder there's nothing good in this secret realm. It turns out you looted everything first and even set up this formation."
"So, you revealed this secret realm to use us as bait?"
Xin Yue stopped laughing and said, "You're very smart, but so what? No matter how capable or smart you are, you're just bait."
Shu Jianyue rolled her eyes speechlessly. Why did this move feel so familiar?
Chong Jiu looked at her and asked, "What does that '艹' (plant) mean?"
Shu Jianyue coughed lightly and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Is this the time to discuss this? Let's talk about how to ruin this."
"Since you say you're going to destroy it, then just destroy it." Chong Jiu said, about to take action.
"Haha... the formation has already been activated, how can you destroy it just like that?" Xin Yue's eyes were bloodshot, as if he were possessed.
Besides feeling completely weak, Fang Di also discovered that his cultivation level was regressing.
"No, what happened, Xin Yue? What did you do?"
Chong Jiu paused for a moment, then smashed the altar to pieces with a single palm strike.
Xin Yue was smug just a moment ago, but his smugness vanished in an instant.
"Ah... I'm going to kill you all!" Xin Yue attacked Chong Jiu like a madman.
