"Where is this?" Qiao Yu looked bewildered when he woke up. He moved his fingers uncertainly, then looked at the two people sitting opposite him and asked uncertainly, "Are you the third junior brother? The fourth junior brother?"
Although he was awake when he came out of the illusion, his memory was vague. Liang Si was the one who applied the medicine to him, and Wang Xi was the one who fed him.
I don't have much of an impression of these two, and I'm not sure of their ranking.
"Yes." Yang Wennan was about to leave when she saw that he was awake. "Master asked us to take care of you for a while. Now that Senior Brother Qiao is awake, I'm going to practice my skills."
"Yes, yes, yes, me too..."
"Wait a minute." Qiao Yu was still a little confused. He remembered that his master had given him a bowl of herbal soup. Shouldn't he be lying in bed recuperating?
hurt?
Yes, what about the injury?
He looked at his arms in confusion, then at his chest. Both were perfectly smooth, showing no trace of the past trauma.
When he returned to Wanzhang Peak, he was bound like a dumpling because of his injuries.
"How did I get here? And where is this place?"
He had been at Wanzhang Peak for quite some time now, and apart from the North Bamboo Forest, there weren't many green plants or this pond on Wanzhang Peak.
“Ten Thousand Zhang Peak.” Yuan Qingling smiled at him. Although he had stopped shedding his skin because he hadn’t taken any pills in the past few days, his face was covered with wrinkles. “Master said that although the Spirit Spring Formation has been set up, it is only a formation to prevent others from stealing spirit stones. It still needs to be improved, and its effects may not be as good as they seem.”
"I..." Qiao Yu nodded, already knowing in his heart that this was probably done by his master while he was asleep. "I've been asleep for many days!"
"Not much, just four or five days." Yang Wennan felt sympathy for Qiao Yu.
Although this second senior brother is a bit stubborn, his cultivation is lower and less solid than any of them, and he is particularly fond of agonizing over whether Master truly cares about him.
However, when Lu Wei appeared before him with Qiao Yu's face, Yang Wennan found it difficult to be dissatisfied with Qiao Yu because of the above-mentioned things.
This is a pathetic creature who doesn't even realize he's being used by his master.
"So this is how it is in four or five days?" Qiao Yu frowned.
The pond was surrounded by shrubs and lush vegetation, many of which were medicinal herbs that Liang Si usually dried in front of his door, as well as many rare and exotic plants that he had never seen before.
Even though he was a country bumpkin, he knew that after four or five days of transplanting, the vegetation wouldn't have grown so lushly in a place full of yellow sand, as if it had been growing like this for five or six years.
“Master orders us to water the plants with the spiritual spring water every day, saying that although the spring water has not yet exerted its full effect, it is still useful. In addition, the formation is set up around them, so they grow very well.” The more Yuan Qingling got to know Wen Jingge, the more she admired him.
He even began to enjoy himself, perhaps hoping to reach the sixth rank before he turned seventy.
Master is different from other peak masters. Others may only know one type of cultivation, but in the Formless Illusion, he saw that Wen Jinge not only knew how to cultivate, but was also proficient in it.
Although he still couldn't understand why Wen Jingge always had to touch other people's bodies when casting spells, and why the people touched would always faint from exhaustion.
However, none of the above matters. He now only hopes that Wen Jingge is also proficient in medicine cultivation, so that he can be saved.
"Is that so..." Qiao Yu's eyes dimmed: Master still thinks he's useless. He only gives these physical tasks to the newly initiated disciples and not to him.
At this moment, Qiao Yu had forgotten how uneasy she felt when she traveled from Wanzhang Peak to the outer mountain at night.
Wen Jingge's love for him was always terrifying.
"Yes, that's right. Is there anything else, Senior Brother?"
Yang Wennan took a deep breath. He was never good at communicating with people, and the only time he communicated with someone in the Formless Illusionary Realm almost cost him his life. He just wanted to practice his skills as soon as possible.
"I……"
Before Qiao Yu could speak, Yuan Qingling stood up from the pool. Seeing two pairs of eyes fixed on him, he smiled awkwardly, "I, Senior Brother Liang gave me a method for maintaining my health. I can't stay in the water for too long, so, I'll go out first."
"Oh." Qiao Yu nodded, the atmosphere between the three of them was quite awkward.
"I..." Seeing that Yang Wennan hadn't left yet, Qiao Yu awkwardly scratched her hair. "Junior brother, don't you think there's something strange about this pool?"
"No." Yang Wennan suddenly felt that the temperature of the pool water seemed to have risen. He looked at Qiao Yu uncertainly, as if he understood why Yuan Wenqing had left.
Reaching the highest rank is a deep-seated concern for this junior brother Yuan.
He's getting old, unlike the younger generation who have time to take their time and do things their way.
"You're not going to be promoted to a higher level, are you?"
Qiao Yu is already at the eighth rank, but the eighth rank has not yet been solidified. If she were to advance to the seventh rank, she would probably experience a double shock of ice and fire within her body. The strangeness in this pool is understandable.
“Yes.” Qiao Yu opened her mouth, but then realized that what she said was a bit unreasonable and also quite infuriating. “Junior brother, can you help me find Master? I feel like it’s about advancing in rank, not consolidating it.”
“…” Yang Wennan took a deep breath.
Why is Qiao Yu his senior brother?
If not, he would definitely push him into the water right now and give him a good head wash.
He can't even use a ninth-rank weapon, yet he's aiming for an eighth-rank. And to make matters worse, he's trying to reach the seventh-rank before his foundation is even solid. Isn't he afraid of overreaching himself?
"What were you thinking about just now?" he asked.
Surely it couldn't have been an epiphany that just came out of nowhere?
Aren't all the untrained swordsmen in the world eager to come to Xuanyun Sect to cultivate?
"I was thinking..." Qiao Yu blushed with embarrassment, "I just feel ashamed. If I could be stronger, I could share my master's burdens."
Yang Wennan is very tired.
If this is how one can be promoted, then he must have already become an immortal.
"Never mind!" he sighed. "Master and Junior Sister have gone down the mountain. I... I'll try to look for them! If all else fails, I'll go to Lingxiao Peak to find Uncle Ai!"
"Why not..." A strange blush flashed across his face, "not the Sect Master's senior uncle?"
"I don't know." After thinking for a moment, Yang Wennan still reminded him, but his expression was quite strange:
"Anyway, both Senior Brother and Master said that Senior Uncle is quite busy and told us to avoid going to Xuanbing Peak unless necessary. They said that if Uncle Ai is not an option, we can try Uncle Fan. If neither of them is an option, then Uncle Shan, that kind old man, will take care of us."
Qiao Yu frowned. He noticed that Yang Wennan's expression was the same as his, and clearly, the two of them had realized something again:
The rumors circulating outside are indeed unreliable.
After Yang Wennan left, Qiao Yu sat alone in the pool, silently reciting the incantation that Wen Jinge had given him when he was Song Ren. As he thought about it, the strange feeling intensified.
Then, he saw black mist all around him, a gust of demonic wind swept by, and it felt as if a hand in the pool was pulling him to the bottom.
Qiao Yu was initially flustered, but then he suddenly realized that even without breathing, he could lie in the pool.
"Don't shout." He heard someone speak, and the voice sounded very familiar.
"you……"
"Your master was right after all. There are so many people in this world who want you to die."
Qiao Yu: ...
