As soon as Xue Huan heard Xuan Ling's oath, she felt the loophole in it. He said he would take her away from the valley, but how? Would he take her away intact, or dead?
Language is a profound art. Sometimes a difference of one word can lead to a world of difference in the results. Therefore, when swearing, you must be clear and cannot be vague or ambiguous.
Xue Huan made a template for Xuan Ling and asked him to speak according to the template.
Xuan Ling: “…”
In the end, he still swore the Heavenly Oath again as she said.
Only then did Xue Huan completely believe him.
After that, a lot of time was spent on deciphering the runes.
After studying for so many days, she has cracked most of it, and the rest will be almost done in two or three days.
Three days passed in a flash, and Xue Huan finally cracked all the runes.
She bit her fingertip again and drew talismans in the air with her blood.
The blood runes that served as keys fell on the chains one after another. Golden runes appeared on the chains, and the entire stone hall was filled with golden light.
The blood light and the golden light collided with each other, and the golden light was dissolved and annihilated one by one.
After all the golden runes were broken, the chain became an ordinary chain. For Xuan Ling, he could open it with his own strength and a hard struggle.
The person who laid the runes had a cultivation level far superior to Xue Huan. Although she had mastered the method of breaking the runes, it was very difficult. She lost a lot of blood and essence in the process. When she drew the last rune, her face lost all color and turned pale. She could no longer hold on and fell down.
Xuan Ling broke free from the chains and leaped under her, catching her steadily and letting her fall on his soft abdomen.
Xue Huan felt herself sinking into a ball of fluffy fur, and then her consciousness fell into darkness.
Xuan Ling transformed into a human form, becoming a tall, handsome man with a hint of wildness, dressed in black. He looked at the person lying in his arms, waved his hand to take the stone he used as a pillow, broke off a small piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
Strangely enough, the stone melted in the mouth and flowed into the stomach.
In fact, this stone is not a stone, but raw jade. Eating it can replenish energy, prolong life, and improve cultivation.
Liaoyu is also known as dragon fetus honey. When the mother dragon lays a dragon egg, a honey-like liquid will flow out of her body to protect the dragon egg whose shell is still very fragile and provide nutrition to the dragon egg.
If the dragon egg unfortunately dies, the honey and the dragon egg will slowly seep and fuse together over a long period of time, turning into a new kind of natural treasure, which is dragon fetus honey.
Because its texture is as smooth as jade, it is also called raw jade.
Raw jade is extremely rare. After all, the conditions for its production are very harsh and full of randomness. Even if it is produced, it is mostly collected by the dragon clan and will not flow into the outside world.
Xuan Ling also got this piece of jade by chance. Originally, the jade was as big as a bathtub. However, during the period of imprisonment, he had no source of food and relied on this piece of jade to survive.
I was able to hold on until now by eating a little when I was too hungry to bear it.
Now only one tenth of the original jade material remains.
After eating the jade, Xue Huan's complexion immediately looked much better, no longer as pale as before.
Xuan Ling took off his coat, wrapped her up, and gently placed her on the ground.
When he looked again, he saw that Little Stone had taken several bites of the jade while he was not paying attention.
When Xuan Ling picked it up, it still held on to it and refused to let go.
He tapped it on the head, but not too hard. "Since you're her pet, I won't bother with you."
Little Stone blinked.
Xuan Ling put it down and put the jade into his sleeve.
When Xue Huan woke up, she saw a clear blue sky. She blinked. She couldn't see the sky from the bottom of the valley because it was obscured by the clouds that lingered year-round. How could she...
"Little girl, are you awake?" A lazy voice came from the side.
Xue Huan tilted her head, her eyes slightly widened. This unfamiliar man—
"Senior Xuanling?"
"Hmm."
Xue Huan sat up and looked around, and found herself on the top of a mountain. Not far away was a lush thuja tree, and below her was a green meadow.
No wonder the sky here feels so close that you can reach it with just your hand, and the white clouds are floating past your eyes.
"Have we come out of the valley yet?"
Xuan Ling nodded, "How do you feel now?"
Xue Huan moved her hands and feet and felt the best she could be. The previous feeling of weakness as if her body was hollowed out was gone. Her body felt so light and full that she seemed to be flying.
She actually jumped up and down on the spot. "I'm healed now. All the lost energy and blood have been replenished, and I even feel like I'm about to advance. What did you give me to eat? It's working so well."
Xuan Ling took out the jade and waved it in front of her. Xue Huan recognized it. Wasn't it the stone he had always used as a pillow under his head? Little Shitou had always coveted it.
She recalled the refreshing taste of the thing that melted in her mouth, and found it unbelievable that what he gave her to eat was actually a stone?
When he thought about how he had slept with this stone as a pillow, and that the stone might have been washed by his saliva, he felt sick all over.
Even after hearing him say that this was not a stone but a rare treasure from heaven and earth - raw jade (dragon fetus honey), her expression did not improve much.
But after all, other people meant well, so she couldn't say anything. She could only comfort herself and think, "Never mind, at least it was dragon fetus honey, not dragon shit or something. Otherwise, she would have been even more devastated."
"By the way, where's Little Stone?"
"Over there." Xuan Ling pointed to a certain place.
Xue Huan looked over and saw a stone being pushed out of a hole. Needless to say, there must be small stones underneath.
It is truly worthy of being called a stone spirit. Wherever it goes, it never forgets to look for high-quality minerals as food reserves.
She walked over, picked up the stone and looked at it. "Purple Star Stone?"
This is a mineral that is as clear and translucent as a purple gemstone. It is dazzling and very beautiful. It is an extremely rare gemstone. The jewelry made from it is very sought after. At the same time, it also has the effect of calming the mind. Even monks are eager to own a piece of purple star stone jewelry.
The quality of the piece pushed up by Xiao Shitou is flawless.
Purple star stone definitely does not exist alone. Could it be that there is a purple star stone mine underneath?
"Little Stone, where did you dig this stone? Take me there."
Little Stone crawled back into the tunnel and waved at her.
Xue Huan took out an earth talisman and stuck it on her body. After leaving the valley, she could use the spiritual power in her body without any hindrance. "Senior Xuan Ling, I want to go down and take a look. You can--" sit here for a while.
Before she could finish her words, Xuan Ling walked towards her with his long legs, "Let's go."
It seemed as if he wanted to go down with her.
