Chapter 72
Xue Bufan didn't know what 03 was thinking at that moment. When there was no one else in the valley, he slowly stood up and called out "Master." His spiritual consciousness emerged again.
"So this is the senior sister who received the inheritance." Xue Bufan said, "I was wondering why it snowed so heavily when Palace Master Feng unleashed his sword energy. It turns out the real senior sister was also on the boat at the time, but she just didn't want to come out to see me."
Ling Shi sneered and said, "It seems that the two of them are extremely impatient with you. They don't even want to see you. Feng Jue even wanted to kill you before, and you can actually tolerate this and still call me Senior Sister."
Xue Bufan remained silent.
Seeing him keep his head down and remain silent, Lingshi grew even more furious. "You look like a quail!" he asked. "Don't you have the slightest desire to win?"
"I'm just being stupid. I was just wondering why Senior Sister didn't want to see me?" Xue Bufan said gently, "And Senior Sister also told me to stay away from Palace Master Feng."
The valley was covered with a layer of snow, like unstained white paper. The black soul moved across the white paper like ink stains. The hoarse voice of the spiritual consciousness said, "Perhaps these two people are filthy. My eldest disciple himself does not want to see Feng Jue, and he does not want you to see it either!"
"Master, how could you think that?" Xue Bufan asked in surprise, "Prince Feng and Senior Sister were still together before entering the secret realm. They were as close as real sisters."
Lingshi sneered, "Think about what happened to you in Lianshan Sect. Even your biological father could easily abandon you, let alone your brothers and sisters? They might have fought each other in the secret realm over the fragments!"
Seeing Xue Bufan's face full of surprise, his spiritual consciousness twisted and fluttered in the air. He only felt that Xue Bufan, standing in the snow in white, was so hypocritical. Inexplicable anger brewed in his heart. His spiritual consciousness snorted coldly: "If you don't want to believe it, then there is another possibility."
Xue Bufan bowed and said humbly, "Master, please speak."
Ling Shi whispered, "You were engaged to Feng Jue before, but the engagement was later broken off, so Feng Jue didn't want to see you. But my eldest disciple has no grudge against you, yet he's also not happy with you—hahaha, maybe these two women are involved! He's afraid you'll interfere, after all, you're Feng Jue's ex-fiancé!"
Xue Bufan was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back and said, "I really can't imagine it."
He sighed and said, "If that's the case, I really need to be more discerning and stay away from the two senior sisters."
The spiritual consciousness was quiet for a moment, then suddenly began to move, saying: "But... nothing is absolute. If the two of them are about to get married,
Even if Feng Jue is half my disciple, I owe them both a great gift. I've already gained my second spiritual consciousness, and I need three more to recover my spirit. I've already sensed the third, and it's in Xile Continent. Once you pass the second round of trials, quickly go to Xile Continent and fetch the third for me."
"That spiritual consciousness is also in my cave. I will choose gifts for them in the cave. You can give them to them as well. It is also a gift of apology for not being able to tutor my eldest disciple."
Xue Bufan bowed and said with a smile, "Yes."
The spiritual consciousness turned around, laughed, and praised: "You are becoming more and more well-behaved. Well, I have a gift for you, don't worry."
Xue Bufan bent even lower and said in a gentle voice, "Disciple thanks Master."
A fiery red dragon rushed out from the white light and shouted excitedly, "Master?"
"Owner!"
"Owner--"
03Holding Lingshi’s tail, he looked up and forward.
The sky here was like covered with a layer of gauze, revealing a thin red color. They were standing on a cliff, with mountains in front of them. Each mountain was deep red, and hot air was spewing out of the mountain passes.
The air was extremely hot and smelled of sulfur.
Lingshi was shocked: Could this be the hometown she had never seen? What a volcanic area!
She transformed into a human form and took a few steps forward. 03 asked, "Did you feel the Phoenix Technique?"
Lingshi sniffed and pouted.
"There is no fluctuation of the master's spiritual power." Her eyes turned red and a tear fell, evaporating in the air before it slid to the ground.
03 Bubbles appeared on the top of his head, his silver mouth opened wide, and tears flowed like a sprinkler.
"Then let's continue looking for the teleportation token," 03 said calmly. She scanned the surrounding area, circled an area, and said to Lingshi, "Start from where you are. I'll go south and you'll go north, sweeping the floor. If anything comes out to bully you, call me."
Lingshi wiped away her tears and said, "Okay!"
After arranging the task, 03 did not move, but watched Lingshi move. After she left for a long distance, she took out the box that she had asked from Xue Bufan not long ago from the storage ring.
The jade box was very delicate, inlaid with many gems. In the center of the box was carved a pattern of two hands intertwined and pinching fingers like a peacock. 03 had never seen such a pattern before, so she raised one hand to compare.
03 thought: There might be danger inside, I can’t show it to Feng Jue and Ling Shi.
She raised her hand and crushed the jade lock on the box. With a "bang", the box popped out a defensive magic circle. 03 raised his eyes, his long eyelashes
He remained calm, gathered his spiritual power in his palms, and blasted it towards the magic circle.
"boom!"
The formation collapsed, and the remaining spiritual power formed the phantom seen on the box and then collapsed. 03 opened the lid and saw a black ring lying in the huge box.
A very familiar ring that he had just seen on Xue Bufan's thumb.
03: "Huh?"
Grandpa?
03 He picked up the ring and input spiritual power into the storage ring. The silver-white spiritual power spread out and roamed around in the huge space, but found nothing.
There was nothing in the ring.
03 blinked in confusion.
Why did the protagonist give her an empty storage ring?
In the northern volcanic region, Ling Shi, wearing a red skirt, lifted her skirt and scoured the area like a locust searching for a token. Even the stones on the roadside turned over when she saw them. Fortunately, this volcanic area was like a barren mountain, with no vegetation growing on it, otherwise Ling Shi would have had a hard time!
Ling Shi's face was cold as she punched away the stone blocking her path. She thought to herself: When I was a dragon, I fought with my body. Now that I'm a human, I can't fight with my fists. When I find my master, I'm going to ask him for a powerful weapon. "Master, master, where are you?"
"boom!"
Lingshi was feeling sad. She turned her sorrow into strength and punched the mountain wall next to her. With a "bang", a big hole appeared in the mountain wall. Behind the hole, a pair of golden eyes suddenly opened, and the cold eyes looked at Lingshi.
Ling Shi: “…Roar?”
03 Move a stone and say, "Hello."
03 Split a huge rock and said, "Hello."
03 glanced at the passing Salamander and said calmly, "Hello."
The fire lizard flew with all four legs and disappeared into the crevice of the rock with a whoosh.
03After a moment of silence, he jumped into the air and clicked on the scan again.
There was nothing similar to the previously scanned token within the visible range, so 03 still chose to fall down and search again after each stone.
The system is a high-dimensional organism with remarkable functions, but even in the high-dimensional world, many things are still not absolutely correct. If there is a 0.01 chance of error, the Phoenix Technique will be completely missed.
03 Dark clouds appeared above his head, and he inserted Jiuxiao into the stone with an expressionless face.
Spiritual energy surged in, and the Nine Skies shone brightly. The huge stone instantly froze, turning into ice chips that piled on the ground. 03 lowered his eyelashes, looked at the silver-gray powder, and said calmly, "Hello, I'm sorry."
She took a step forward, stepping on the dust. The hot wind blew, blowing up the powder on the ground and sticking to her.
On her green skirt, 03 did not look back. He walked straight ahead, cutting through mountains and splitting rocks wherever he saw them.
A fiery red dragon flew past her excitedly, flicking its tail and dropping five fragments. 03 calmly put the fragments into the storage ring, swung the long sword, and with a buzzing sound, the giant fire lizard chasing behind her was split in two by the sword energy.
Frost blanketed the fiery red ground, slowly melting beneath the steaming earth. Ling Shi swam back, carefully selecting the beast cores and storing them in her storage ring. With a flick of her tail, her massive body flashed back to the area she had explored previously.
The unified dragon was tireless and quickly cleared a large area. The land it passed was like a Dead Sea. The spirit beasts that had not been lured away by the fire dragon fled tremblingly into the distance.
03 He swung his sword and glanced at the highest volcano in front of him.
She took a step forward and flew upwards with an expressionless face.
At the same time, at the Chengxian Chamber of Commerce's Shuanglong Secret Realm branch, Zhao Hangyi was discussing business with a very beautiful woman. Zhao Hangyi said, "Saintess, I have found out the information you want. The Candlelight Golden Lotus you need can be found in Suzaku Mountain."
The woman nodded and said, "Just call me Master Yingyue."
Zhao Hangyi laughed heartily and said, "Master Saint, considering the proximity of the Red Lotus Sect and Luoxia City, I can share a piece of extra information with you. Within the Suzaku Volcano lies a late Nascent Soul stage Black Fire Beast. It's extremely vicious and nearly killed the Daoist who discovered the Candlefire Golden Lotus."
Shi Yingyue frowned and said, "The Candlefire Golden Lotus is hard to come by. Even if the Black Fire Beast is so vicious, I will bring it back!"
The Shuanglong Secret Realm is not only the venue for the second round of competition at the Wendao Academy, it is also a legendary secret realm with many rare treasures. The monks who enter the secret realm for the competition are not allowed to kill or steal treasures. While everyone is searching for fragments, they are also constantly searching for opportunities.
Zhao Hangyi took the opportunity to ask, "This journey is fraught with danger. Why not offer a bounty? Recruit a few more Nascent Soul cultivators to join us? If the Saint Master is generous, I can also find one of the two Spiritual Transformation cultivators who have entered the second round of the competition for you!"
"No need." Shi Yingyue shook her head, fearing that if she sat any longer, Zhao Hang would stand up as if he had emptied his pockets, throw out a few golden dragon fragments, and leave without looking back.
Zhao Hang looked at the fragments in his hand, then looked at the untouched peanuts and sunflower seeds on the table and shrugged.
Suzaku Volcano.
03 slowly landed in the volcano. She stepped on the platform under her feet and looked down. The rolling lava made her cheeks golden. 03 whispered, "My face is hot, my face is hot." She tapped her toes lightly and fell from the platform onto the huge rock standing in the center of the lava.
This stone stands
The top of the stone was sunken in the lava, as if something had been burrowing there for years, denting it. But near the edge of the stone, near the rock wall, there was a palm-sized fountain, but it was lava that gushed out.
A graceful lotus grew freely within the lava, its leaves unfolding like round gold foil. Atop three lotus leaves, a golden lotus blossomed. 03 raised his hand and began to count, "One, two, three..."
On the cliff, a red bird with its wings spread out, its head like a lizard, its tail like a snake, its tail feathers burning with flames, fell like a gust of wind, and landed above the stone pillar, casting a black shadow.
Shrouded in shadow, 03 remained calm. After counting to twelve, she narrowed her eyes and said happily, "I've never seen a lotus like this before. It's very beautiful. It will look even better with Feng Jue."
She turned her head, looked at the owner of this "room", and said softly, "Will you give it to me?"
The red bird sneered and spoke in human language: "Then I will leave your life behind."
"No, I need to go find Feng Jue." 03 shook his head, turned to look at the red bird, and said with a smile, "I've never seen a bird like you. You can also come with me to see Feng Jue. How do you want to go?"
The red bird roared, spread its wings, and rolled up thousands of waves of fire.
"bite."
The wind chimes in the corridor were blown by the wind, waking up the person on the couch.
She suddenly sat up and looked around.
"Are you awake?"
The slender woman sitting beside her asked, putting down her embroidery, picking up the round fan on the table and fanning herself, saying, "It rained all night last night, and today all the flowers in the city and outside the city are blooming. Do you want to go and see them?"
The woman's voice was very gentle. She pointed with her round fan at the red apricot blossoms outside the window and said with a soft smile, "A beauty like you deserves to be the setting for this beautiful spring scene of blossoms. If you like this place, don't think of leaving and enduring endless suffering."
The person on the couch blinked slowly, turned around and leaned on the couch, tilting her head to look at the humid scenery outside the window.
Apricot blossoms swayed outside the window, reflecting the pink ornament on the woman's forehead. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and she whispered, "Sister, you told me before, how could I have forgotten it again? What is the name of this city?"
The fan-wielding woman covered her lips with her hands and chuckled softly, whispering, "You must remember this time, this is Jinguan City."
The author has something to say
Question: Since this is Jinguan City, then what are the flowers engraved on the token that transported Feng Jue away?
