Chapter 26: Germination (Catching Bugs)
Such a contemptuous attitude seemed to irritate the soul, and it almost roared: "I will fight you to the death!"
Jian An Ning smiled again, holding the longbow across her body, and the spiritual power on the bowstring condensed into the shape of an arrow.
She whispered, "But you are already dead, just a ghost from the past."
The next moment, two completely different spiritual powers collided, and the light of the spiritual power was so dazzling that Lu Fei and Jiang Tan in the distance could not see what was happening there.
After the brilliant light faded away, Jian An Ning and Fan Qingyue fell there together.
Lu Fei has been in a trance since then.
His soul seemed to be in his body, but also seemed not to be there, so that he could not control his own actions and could only watch through his eyes like a bystander.
When he saw Jane Anning was injured, he broke free of his trance and wanted to save her.
But he couldn't save her.
There was a gap between them that was bigger than the universe, so he was completely powerless to heal the harm that Jane An Ning had suffered.
He couldn't save her.
Lu Fei stretched out his trembling fingertips and gently touched Jian Anning's face. In a voice so low that it seemed only he could hear, he called out, "Anning?"
No one noticed Lu Fei's outrageous name, but he felt as if his heart was shattered by something, and he was so heartbroken that he had difficulty breathing.
His instinct clearly told him to stay away from Jane An Ning, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart shouting and yelling.
"You can't save her."
"You can't be a part of her past."
"She'll always exclude you from her real troubles."
"But, in the final analysis, isn't all this because you are too weak?"
It was as if thunder exploded in his head, and everything became clear at this moment, like the first drop of spring rain in the long-silent winter, moistening all the dry earth.
In Lu Fei's spiritual platform, the existence that was nailing the spiritual light like a long nail seemed to have sensed something and emitted a faint light.
The next moment, the tip of the long nail was firmly nailed into the spiritual platform, and countless fine tentacles grew out from there and drilled deeper into the ground.
It's like a seed that's sprouting.
Lu Fei only felt a splitting headache, as if something was growing in his brain, trying to penetrate into his soul.
Jiang Tan just took a quick look at Jian An Ning and Fan Qingyue's condition and found that they were just exhausted but still breathing, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she found that Lu Fei had also fallen down.
Jiang Tan:?
So this family depends entirely on me now?
However, Fan Guanfu was still eyeing there covetously. Even though his inheritance was taken away, his combat power plummeted, but this did not prevent him from still being in the Nascent Soul stage.
Without bothering to find out what was going on with Lu Fei, Jiang Tan carried Jian An Ning on his back, and Fan Qingyue and Lu Fei each held one in their arms, and were about to leave this dangerous place.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Fan Guanfu himself was not feeling well either.
However, now that he is alive, he has to return the inheritance he lent to Fan Qingyue.
Jiang Tan naturally saw through his plan, and with a wave of her hand, she threw out a talisman to hide her whereabouts. It was a gift from Jian An Ning to her in the past.
Under the smoke, Fan Guanfu was unable to track Jiang Tan's whereabouts.
In frustration, he smashed a deep hole in the ground, but it was of no avail in the end.
The other end.
Murong Jing and Fan Shiliu met at the riverside outside Jinxi City.
The river flows down from the high mountains outside Jinxi City, circles around the city, and flows out again. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom.
Murong Jing took out a skull with a texture as smooth as jade and dripped his blood on it.
The next moment, the calm river surface began to rumble, and a third person appeared in the reflection of the water.
The man's features could not be seen clearly, only a vague human figure could be seen.
"You guys are doing great, I can already feel it."
Although she didn't use Jane An Ning's face, her voice was exactly the same as Jane An Ning's.
Murong Jing was a little puzzled. After all, didn’t they only have time to kill some Qingyun Sect monks hiding in Jinxi City?
The next moment, the reflection solved Murong Jing's doubts.
"It's the seeds. I can feel them taking root and sprouting."
The reflection on the water surface laughed crazily, as if it had already foreseen the scene it was looking forward to.
Murong Jing was delighted. He had never expected such an unexpected gain. He then asked the reflection, "What should we do next?"
"Go to Yingzhou."
The reflection answered decisively, then disappeared into the water.
Murong Jing took the reflection's words as his guiding principle and was about to head straight for Yingzhou.
But Fan Shiliu did not move. She looked up at Jinxicheng with a calm yet resolute gaze and said, "But there are still things I want to do."
"Tomorrow is my mother's memorial day."
Murong Jing paused, looked at her, and said without surprise: "So you want to kill Fan Guanfu?"
"However, even the magic cultivation techniques cannot allow you to fight against a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage at your current level."
"After all, he is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage."
Fan Shiliu turned to look at him, his expression still calm, and said to Murong Jing: "So I need your help. This is also the promise you once made to me."
Murong Jing could see Fan Shiliu's determination. He thought about it and agreed to Fan Shiliu's request.
The other end outside Jinxi City.
To be honest, Ye Qingzhou still didn't understand why the voice called him here.
As soon as he arrived in Jinxi City, he heard a deafening explosion. Logically, when encountering danger, he should stay away to protect himself.
However, the voice urged him to go to the center of the explosion, saying that he would encounter a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Ye Qingzhou was a little tempted, so he did as he was told.
Not long after he walked, he discovered that the building in front of him had been destroyed, forming a huge deep pit. He had no choice but to jump into the pit. After running for a while, he found that white light was rising again in the center of the pit.
He was a little worried and wanted to retreat.
However, the old voice kept urging him on, saying, "Go forward, this is your only chance!"
So Ye Qingzhou went.
Then, before the light faded, he used the method taught to him by the old voice and escaped from Jinxi City.
So what is this?
Ye Qingzhou looked at the golden thread trapped by spiritual power in his palm and thought.
"It's good stuff!" said the old voice. "Eat it!"
Although Ye Qingzhou was a little confused, he still believed the words of the old voice very much. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and swallowed the unknown golden thread directly into his stomach.
The ball of spiritual power and the golden thread melted in his mouth, and Ye Qingzhou felt some strange changes in the meridians around his body.
The next moment, dark clouds gathered in Jinxi City, with thunder and lightning.
And that old voice instructed: "Meditate and regulate your breathing."
When Ye Qingzhou woke up, he found that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
He was truly delighted, and his trust in the old voice grew even stronger. The voice also said, as if tempting, "As long as you listen to me, you will definitely get what you want."
Jinxi City, Inn.
Jiang Tan put the three unconscious people in a room for easier care.
The first one to wake up was Lu Fei.
His eyes seemed confused, but after Jiang Tan investigated, she found that her junior brother had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage at some point.
Jiang Tan wasn't quite sure what was going on, so he just said, "Could it be considered a blessing in disguise?"
Lu Fei didn't pay attention to Jiang Tan's words. His whole attention was on Jian An Ning. He asked, "Why isn't she awake yet?"
Jiang Tan shook his head and said, "They both look fine."
Then Lu Fei fell into a long wait.
Three days later.
Jian Anning and Fan Qingyue woke up almost at the same time.
Jane Anning rubbed her head and felt as if someone had punched her on the back of the head.
As soon as she raised her eyes, her gaze met Fan Qingyue, who had also just woken up.
Jian An Ning had never seen her most beloved disciple show that kind of expression.
It was as if the inheritance he had received from the Fan family had transformed his soul. His expression was a mixture of fear, resentment, anger, and a desire to get rid of these emotions.
Fan Qingyue's eyes were filled with pain, and he said, "Master, I think I saw you."
"In the inherited memory of the Fan family."
Jian An Ning sighed, stood up and walked to Fan Qingyue. Facing his frightened eyes, she hit him on the back of the head.
He added, "If you're not feeling well, you should go see a doctor. This is the only folk remedy I know."
Jian Anning finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw all those messy emotions that did not belong to Fan Qingyue fade away, leaving only an expression distorted by pain.
Fan Qingyue really felt that he was much better. It was as if his inexplicable emotions were put into a box and no longer disturbed his mind.
"Maybe I saw it wrong?"
He spoke hesitantly, but Jian An Ning did not respond. Instead, she turned to look at Lu Fei.
Lu Fei kept looking at her, as if he wanted to hold her whole body in his eyes.
His eyes were bloodshot from not sleeping for so long, and he looked like he hadn't slept for several nights.
But Jian An Ning could feel that the aura around him had changed.
So she waved Lu Fei over and held his wrist.
"Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage? That's so fast." Jian An Ning said with a frown, not looking happy.
Normal cultivators would not be able to achieve such a fast breakthrough speed. Even Fan Qingyue and Jiang Tan, both of whom have outstanding talents, still need several years of practice to accumulate the merits.
But Lu Fei's face was obviously confused, and he seemed not to realize that he had made a breakthrough.
Jian An Ning rubbed her forehead and felt a headache.
She touched her body to make sure that the items she kept close to her were not lost, and counted the people in the room. There were exactly three of her apprentices.
Wait, where did Su Mei, whom she picked up later, go?
"Xiao Tan," she asked her most reliable second disciple, "Have you seen Su Mei?"
Jiang Tan shook her head. She had been watching over the three people who had fainted and did not notice where Su Mei had gone.
However, if you speak of the devil, he will appear.
Almost as soon as Jian Anning finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door and someone said, "I'm back!"
The door then opened, revealing Su Mei.
She blinked her big round eyes and said to Jian An Ning straight to the point: "Those monsters will not bother humans anymore."
Both Fan Qingyue and Jiang Tan were a little surprised, thinking: How can this girl make such a guarantee?
But Jian Anning seemed to believe it, and then asked, "Where are you going?"
"I want to find someone!" Su Mei said decisively, "Daddy asked me to come out so that I could find someone."
Jian Anning's expression softened a little, and she asked again, "But who are you looking for?"
Su Mei's mind suddenly went blank.
She didn't know who the person she was looking for was, nor did she know what he looked like. She only knew that her father wanted to find him.
"I don't know," Su Mei said as a matter of course, "but I have to find him. I've been here for a long time, so I have to look for him somewhere else."
Jian Anning looked at her speechlessly as she waved goodbye to them confidently.
In the end, I couldn't say, "Maybe you are looking for me."
