Chapter 61
At this time, inside Vientiane Valley.
Nan Xi was observing the scene.
It doesn't look eerie in here. The stalactite-like white crystals are hanging upside down, emitting a faint glow and creating a dim atmosphere inside. It's actually quite beautiful.
There are many white crystals here, and on the tip of each one hangs a drop of milky white liquid that is either about to emerge or about to fall.
Wherever the liquid drips, there is a small pool.
The pool was filled with this liquid, and in the middle there condensed a shiny bead that looked like an elixir.
This is what Qi Qian wanted to find, something that could enhance his talent and understanding. It looked clean and harmless, lying there unobtrusively, inviting people to pick it.
Nan Xi acted as if she had no idea.
"What is this? It looks like something good. A-Chuan, let's take it away. I don't want it. I'll give it all to you."
[This is not a good thing. Although it can improve talent and understanding, it is not a real improvement, but an overdraft of future opportunities. ]
[I don't even want this kind of thing even if you give it to me.]
Luo Tingyun and several Tianyun Sword Sect disciples were slapping invisibility talismans and coming down carefully when they heard Nan Xi's words. They couldn't help but look at the extremely beautiful bead.
Few people here know about it, so no one has named it.
Qi Qian originally knew that this thing was not simply a good thing, and he only planned to pick one, but after hearing what Nan Xi said, he suddenly had an idea.
You can't eat too much of this, but it may not be useless.
He reached out and took a few more, but his expression did not change.
Nan Xi followed Qi Qian silently, her eyes roaming around. As early as when she came in, the system had already told her the location of the agency, and because of Qi Qian's actions, the two of them were now approaching that place step by step.
[One, two, three... Hey man, 17 in total, what is Qi Qian trying to do? I don't believe he doesn't know that this is not a good thing and he shouldn't eat too much.]
Nan Xi sighed in her heart, but her eyes were still fixed somewhere.
At this moment, everyone noticed where Nan Xi's gaze was. If there had been no instructions, they might have found it difficult to notice, but at this moment, they discovered that the beads in that place were not exactly the same as those in other pools.
[This pool is unusual. After we pick up the bead, there will be movement inside, leading us to find more treasures... Then, the moment we open the stone wall, a strange fire will burst out.]
Nan Xi's eyes darkened.
Now, the people of Tianyun Sword Sect understood the situation completely. In the plot, when being led to see the so-called opportunity, Nan Xi in the plot would take the lead, while Qi Qian would probably have noticed something, so he chose to stand behind.
But when the strange fire burned Nan Xi, he seized the opportunity.
At this point, they also understood that the opportunity was not a really good thing and no one wanted to snatch it away, but they would definitely not let Nan Xi suffer any harm that she did not deserve.
While he was thinking about this, Qi Qian still took out the bead.
Suddenly, the light on it became brighter and turned into a beam of light that was cast onto the stone wall in front.
Nan Xi acted out the plot, "What is this...?"
Qi Qian's eyes deepened, he looked down at the beads in his hand, and said, "It seems there is some opportunity, let's go and take a look."
Hearing him say this, the woman beside him seemed to light up and was somewhat happy, "Great, let's go take a look."
She took two steps forward, and when she realized Qi Qian hadn't caught up with her, she looked back and smiled.
"Why doesn't Ah-Chung come?"
As Nan Xi finished speaking, Qi Qian raised his legs and stared at Nan Xi's back. He saw her joy and rare liveliness, and knew in his heart why she did that.
The beads in his hand felt slightly hot, and Qi Qian felt both danger and a vague premonition.
There must be a great opportunity behind this stone wall.
Nan Xi was also walking towards the stone wall step by step.
The guidance of the light beam was very clear. Nan Xi saw the mechanism above almost effortlessly. She already knew what would happen next, but her heart was calm. The only thing she thought about was how to deal with the strange fire.
Secretly, she grasped a talisman to protect against strange fire.
Before encountering the agency, Nan Xi looked at Qi Qian as described in the plot.
At first it was just a calm glance, but the next moment his eyes suddenly widened. Qi Qian noticed her gaze, then realized something and looked back.
A group of seven disciples from the Tianyun Sword Sect were standing there in a row.
Luo Tingyun stepped forward and took Nan Xi's hand easily, "Senior sister, you are here, but we have been looking for you for a while."
Nan Xi looked somewhat bewildered.
[Hmm... Hmm??? Why are there so many people here? When did they come down? Why didn't I notice them? Oh my god...]
In bewilderment and surprise, the Tianyun Sword Sect disciple spoke up, "Is there an opportunity behind this stone wall? Senior Sister, Fellow Daoist Qi Qian, should we go and take a look together?"
Qi Qian's expression became a little more severe than before, but he did not refute.
"If you want to go together, then go together."
He was originally standing at the back, but at this moment, he felt a little nervous because of these people. Although he still didn't intend to stand in the front, he couldn't help but move forward a little, and then said to Nan Xi: "Press the button."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Qian's true intention was exposed, and everyone saw through his intention.
He clearly used the senior sister as a tool to avoid risks. If there was really danger behind the stone wall, the first person to be hurt would be Nan Xi, and he could rely on Nan Xi's reaction to avoid possible harm to the greatest extent.
Several Tianyun Sword Sect disciples looked at each other without saying a word.
Nan Xi didn't say much, just glanced at the disciples and slightly suppressed some thoughts.
[I don't know why you're looking for me... This location is a bit dangerous, I'll just stay away from it.]
The moment the voice fell, Nan Xi activated the mechanism.
Almost at the moment when a crack appeared in the stone wall, everyone saw the flickering blue fire at the same time. At that moment, Nan Xi suddenly felt a tightening around her waist, and the scene in front of her eyes quickly flashed backwards.
Luo Tingyun whispered in her ear: "Senior Sister, it's dangerous."
The Tianyun Sword Sect disciples reacted extremely quickly, so quickly that Qi Qian was unable to react immediately. By the time he remembered to step back, the fiery snake of the strange fire had burned his fingers.
A sharp pain came instantly and his pupils suddenly shrank.
And as far as his eyes could see, Qi Qian could clearly see something shining behind the stone wall.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.
Swallowing that thing... that thing can extinguish the strange fire, and it is his great opportunity.
So before the strange fire spread to his entire body, he rushed forward quickly, grabbed the ball of light with both hands, and absorbed it without thinking.
All this happened in almost a second. When Nan Xi came to her senses, it was Luo Tingyun who put her down. He relaxed his brows and said, "Sorry, Senior Sister, I was rude just now."
When the strange fire rushed towards Nan Xi, Luo Tingyun was the first to take her away from danger. That was why Qi Qian was burned by the strange fire. Nan Xi's mind was still a little confused, but it did not prevent her from seeing clearly Qi Qian's condition at the moment.
The opponent was covered by the strange fire at this time, but there was a faint gray medium in the strange fire, which reduced the damage of the strange fire to a minimum.
【It really caught me off guard. 】
Nan Xi muttered to herself.
Meanwhile, the system finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Qi Qian successfully obtain the opportunity. When it saw the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect coming out just now, it had a bad feeling.
If you think about it carefully, most of the reasons for the failure of the plot, in addition to Nan Xi, are the actions of this group of people that caught people off guard and were completely inconsistent with the plot.
So this time the system was more cautious, and when the accident occurred, it gave Qi Qian a hint, allowing him to seize the opportunity.
Even though the alien fire caused some damage to Qi Migration just now, it was not serious. After getting the opportunity, the damage would be easily recovered.
Nan Xi looked at it for a while, and finally sorted things out. She looked at Luo Tingyun, "Why are you all here?"
She had a vague suspicion in her heart and felt that something was wrong, but she found it difficult to figure out what was wrong.
"We were both in Wanxiang Valley just now, and we happened to meet each other, so we moved together. The movement of the spirit beast just now was so loud that we all saw it. Then we saw you, Senior Sister, and came looking for you."
Luo Tingyun spoke slowly and logically, instantly dispelling all of Nan Xi's doubts.
[Yes, things are different now. In reality, I rely on my outstanding personality and charm to make everyone like me even if I do stupid tasks.]
Nan Xi couldn't help but raise her lips, but she suppressed them after receiving the warning from the system. She pretended to look at Qi Qian with a worried look on her face, and murmured, "Junior sister, why did you help me... If it was me who was burned by the strange fire just now, Ah Qian wouldn't have to endure such pain."
Everyone: “…”
This is all Senior Sister’s task, what else can they say?
So one of them remained silent. Nan Xi glanced at their expressions and saw that they were all somewhat speechless. She couldn't help but laugh secretly, and then pressed down the corner of her lip.
It was Luo Tingyun who spoke first, "If you want to wait here for the relocation, I will wait with you."
He looked at the other disciples again, "Everyone go find what you want, don't delay here."
Nan Xi couldn't help but look at Luo Tingyun.
[I must wait here for the Qi Mi, but it doesn’t matter, I’ve already got what I wanted, and as for the rest, if I didn’t get the good stuff, it means I’m not destined to get it, but I still want Junior Sister to not delay here.]
As soon as she finished her thought, she was about to speak, but Luo Tingyun had already looked at her and narrowed his eyes at her.
The eyes were very deep and beautiful, with dark pupils, as if they had the magical power to draw people into dreams. The other party said, "Don't worry about me, Senior Sister. The only things that are useful to me in this secret realm are those holy objects."
"I already have what I want, so there is no need to look for anything else."
"The reason I'm still here is because I want to accompany my senior sister."
Nan Xi was stunned by Luo Tingyun's words, [That's right... Junior Sister is from the Luo family, she has seen all kinds of good things. ]
As she was thinking, she noticed that Luo Tingyun's gaze had shifted elsewhere. Then Nan Xi looked at Luo Tingyun's profile and suddenly had a new discovery. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and gradually became excited.
[Hmm? Let me see?]
[Junior sister blushed! ]
Luo Tingyun froze when he was seen through.
