Chapter 86
Feng Jue placed the Jade House on the other side of the Golden Jade Tower and set up a barrier, waiting for 03 to recover before going out to train. After seeing the number of fragments of the cultivators on the list, the two became more calm.
That night.
After drinking the medicine, he held the cleaned medicine bowl and picked fruit along the roadside. Spring blossoms and autumn bears fruit, and the Shuanglong Secret Realm is full of abundant fruit, which is eaten by birds and beasts. The monk, whose heart is only filled with fragments and opportunities, did not even spare these mortal creatures a glance. He squatted on the grass, holding the bowl. Two golden birds were busy flying up and down, bringing wild fruit to the bowl.
"Master, shall we move the treasures from the secret realm to you?" asked the golden bird.
03 held the bowl and said softly, "No rush. I'll close the secret realm after the Dongzhou Competition is over, and we'll take care of it then." Currently, the Shuanglong Secret Realm is still being used as the trial field for the Wendao Academy. 03, who didn't feel that the Shuanglong Secret Realm and the treasures inside were very valuable, was indifferent.
Being the master of the secret realm does not mean that the spiritual beasts in the secret realm recognize her as their master, and the uncivilized beasts are still very ferocious.
The two birds landed on 03's shoulder and whispered, "Thank you for your understanding, Master."
03 Wash the fruit and carry it to find Feng Jue. Tonight, the stars are shining brightly, covering the earth with a layer of hazy light. The Jinyu Tower in the distance is like a golden candle, shining brightly from top to bottom.
From time to time, there were rays of light falling from the sky. They were the monks who were rushing to the Jinyu Tower. They looked tired, with many scars on their bodies, and they entered the tower in a dusty state.
03 When passing by the front of the building, a cultivator who had just landed had his eyes light up and said, "It's Senior Sister!" It was Zhu Shiyu of Taiyan Sect.
"Hello." 03 said, taking a look at her clothes. Zhu Shiyu's body was covered in blood, and the bloodstains had not yet dried.
Zhu Shiyu held the sword, saluted properly, and said, "Senior Sister, I wonder if the Phoenix Palace Master..."
03 smiled slightly and said, "I have found the Phoenix Secret."
"Really? That's great!" Zhu Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Then I'll take a break and take care of everything before greeting Palace Master Feng."
"Okay, you're welcome to be my guest." 03 said, with curiosity in his eyes, staring straight at Zhu Shiyu's face.
Zhu Shiyu touched her cheek doubtfully and asked with a smile, "Senior Sister, what's wrong with me?"
"No." 03 shook his head, said goodbye to Zhu Shiyu, and returned to the Jade House with a small bowl in his hand and a smile on his face.
As soon as she entered the barrier, the bubbles above her head floated out and the pink flowers in the bubbles spun in a circle.
Feng Jue was practicing in the house. He opened his eyes after hearing the noise and looked at 03 smiling all the way.
Yan Kai walked in with flowers on her head. Seeing her like this, Feng Jue couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and asked with a smile: "What are you doing that makes you so happy?"
03 Standing by the table, he said seriously: "Feng Jue, it turns out that the ruthless way can also laugh!"
"?"
Did the medicine flow into your head when you did a somersault outside? Feng Jue raised an eyebrow.
03 stared at the woman tidying up the room, humming a strange tune. Small black musical notes scattered across the floor behind her, slowly dissipating. Feng Jue smiled and shook his head, closing his eyes again to cultivate. 03, having taken a fresh branch from her storage ring and inserted it into a vase, turned back. The little Yin Tong in the bubble raised a glow stick and waved it encouragingly at Feng Jue.
The next day, the two met Zhu Shiyu again in front of the Jinyu Tower. She changed her clothes, bandaged her arm and sat under a tree. She took the medicine bowl from the doctor and drank it without frowning.
The doctor took out three more black pills and told her to take them every day.
"Admiration." said 03.
Feng Jue sneered and said, "Don't be self-deprecating. You were just as calm and composed when you drank the medicine last night." He still had no expression when he put down the medicine bowl. It was just the small system in the bubble that was crying loudly.
03 lowered his head and whispered, "Shy."
At least outsiders couldn't see 03's shyness. Seeing the two people approaching, the medical practitioner from Qianxiu Valley smiled and said, "Palace Master Feng, it's a fellow Taoist."
03 He sat upright and nodded, saying, "I'm here to take my medicine."
Zhu Shiyu asked in surprise, "Senior Sister Xi is injured?"
03's eyes fell on her heavily bandaged arm and he said calmly, "It's just a minor injury."
Not as much blood as you shed.
"That's good." Zhu Shiyu looked relieved and smiled gently. Feng Jue sat down next to 03. Upon hearing this, he rolled his tongue and uttered two meaningful words: "Minor injury?"
03 blinked, and suddenly looked at the doctor, "Pray."
A bowl of medicinal soup, thank you.
The medical practitioner chuckled, and after she left, Zhu Shiyu raised his hand to cast a barrier and formally thanked 03 and Feng Jue.
"Over the past few months, I've searched many places in the secret realm and found three unused teleportation tokens." Zhu Shiyu took out a map and three plaques engraved with the Yin-Yang Pisces and handed them to 03. "I've marked the locations of the tokens on the map and hidden them using the Taiyan Sect's secret method. You two can find them by using the key to unlock the hidden area."
Feng Jue held a fish-shaped jade pendant in his palm, playing with it. He said, "Everyone knows that there is a great opportunity near the teleportation token. Are you willing to give up the opportunity and hand over the token to us?"
Zhu Shiyu quickly said, "I cannot repay your life-saving grace. I know these three teleportation tokens cannot compensate for your life-saving grace. If you need anything in the future, just call me."
This person is worth making friends with. Feng Jue smiled and said softly, "No problem, use these three tokens to pay for it. Don't mention the so-called favor anymore. From now on, we can call each other friends."
Zhu Shiyu was surprised, then smiled and said, "Okay."
"But there's one thing I have to mention." Zhu Shiyu blushed and said helplessly, "Although everyone is saying there's a treasure near the tokens, there have been many cases in the past six months where someone else has grabbed the opportunity they sought. Although these three tokens haven't been used, perhaps someone else has also... grabbed the treasure nearby."
Feng Jue's feelings at that moment were indescribable. She looked at Zhu Shiyu's embarrassed expression, suppressed her lips, and looked away. As she turned her head, the particularly intense gaze beside her quickly shifted away, not meeting her gaze. Feng Jue narrowed her eyes.
"Whoosh whoosh, whoosh whoosh, whoosh..." 03 Pursed his lips and whistled "fufu". Since he couldn't whistle, he used his vocal cords to make the "whoosh" sound.
"..." Feng Jue glared at 03 without leaving any trace. When he turned around, he smiled gently again and said to Zhu Shiyu, "Senior Sister Zhu, please rest assured. I have no requests. Whether there are opportunities near the token is up to fate. I just want to be your friend."
"Fufu..."
Zhu Shiyu smiled and said, "Okay!"
Feng Jue took the stove from her storage ring to make tea. She raised her toes from under her skirt and stepped on the foot of the person next to her. Oh, don't think she doesn't know what 03 is thinking!
03No more, inhale.
Zhu Shiyu removed the barrier and heard 03 gasp. He quickly asked, "Senior Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Without waiting for 03 to answer, Feng Jue said slowly, "She is looking at the flowers."
03 quickly looked up at the wisteria tree. The vines were swaying in the wind, and several wisteria flowers were fluttering down. 03's eyes followed each flower as it landed on the ground.
Feng Jue's skirt swayed, and 03 took a deep breath and sighed, "Crushed into dust!"
"Senior Sister, you have quite a poetic spirit." Zhu Shiyu also looked up at the flowers and said, "The Purple Jade Vine is considered a spiritual creature, but all its spiritual energy is devoted to the flowers. It has no other use besides being an ornamental object."
03 smiled and said, "Of course there are other uses."
She suddenly reached out and held a strand of Feng Jue's hair, saying, "Pick this flower for Feng Jue to wear. Fellow Daoist Zhu, do you think Feng Jue is pretty?"
"Cough." Feng Jue almost choked and looked at 03 with a warning. Are you getting braver?
03 Gallbladder
The penis was large and fat, and its sparkling eyes looked at Zhu Shiyu. Zhu Shiyu didn't know why 03 asked this question, so he said truthfully: "In the Taoism I cultivate, everything in the world is nothing but floating clouds in my eyes. However, my cultivation is still shallow, and I have never reached such a realm. When I see you two fellow Taoists, it is like seeing a group of beautiful flowers, and my eyes are filled with amazement."
Feng Jue picked up the teacup and rudely put it to 03's mouth, blocking her mouth. She said in a cold voice: "Did you hear that? Senior Sister Zhu praised your beauty."
03, with the teacup stuffed in her mouth, rolled her eyes. She felt the weight on her feet and, trying not to be crushed, hummed twice. Then, a doctor from Qianxiu Valley arrived with medicine. Seeing 03 holding the tea, he exclaimed in surprise, "Senior, you're still taking medicine. You can't drink tea casually."
"I didn't drink it," 03 said. As soon as she finished speaking, a white hand reached out and snatched the teacup from her hand. Feng Jue's ears flushed slightly. He calmly drank the last bit of tea in the cup, threw it on the table, and stood up. "I'm going back to practice. When you finish the medicine, come back to me and wash the tea stove together."
"Okay." 03 said obediently, watching Feng Jue leave.
Zhu Shiyu and Yi Xiu's eyes fell on 03 at the same time. They thought that Palace Master Feng was really rude to fellow Taoist. But it was this rudeness that made people realize how close their relationship was.
03 Holding the black medicine bowl, I waited quietly for the medicine to cool down.
"Many monks have been injured this month. I'll go back and get busy." The medical practitioner bowed to the two and walked forward quickly. 03 tilted his head and saw a monk fall from his sword, spitting out a lot of blood. He was supported by the medical practitioner and went into the building.
Zhu Shiyu whispered, "Up to this point in the test, all the good fragments in the secret realm have been taken away by fellow Taoists, and the rest are in extremely dangerous places. In my opinion, the real test has just begun."
03 nodded, tapped the medicine bowl, drank the steam out of the bowl, put the bowl down and said, "Yes, we can't take it lightly." She and Feng Jue agreed to be the first in the second round of the competition. Now Jinyulou estimated that the first place winner, Meng Xiangfei, was a very resourceful human being. 03 believed that the number of fragments in Meng Xiangfei's hand must be many more than 800. If calculated at 1,000 pieces, she and Feng Jue were only 1,500 pieces away from Meng Xiangfei!
The gap seems huge, but in 03's eyes it is a number that can be easily broken. Feng Jue got two thousand fragments when he fell into Jinguan City. Others can also get a large number of fragments through other opportunities. Moreover, there is a protagonist in this secret realm.
"I'm done drinking. Goodbye." 03 said goodbye to Zhu Shiyu politely and went to the well behind the Jinyu Building with the dishes to be washed. When she was out of sight, two golden birds flew down from the eaves of the Jinyu Building and landed on 03.
On the shoulder.
"Are there any other changes after the test?" 03 whispered.
A golden bird flapped its wings and said, "We have an agreement with Venerable Xingmo, so we can't reveal it."
That's it.
03Bend your eyes.
On the third day after arriving at Jinyu Tower, 03 met Yu Xuefei, a disciple of Qianxiu Valley known as the "Medical Fairy". At that time, she and Feng Jue were sitting under a tree waiting for medicine. A graceful figure came down. She was holding an oil-paper umbrella, wearing a purple long skirt with a tulle cover. She seemed to be shrouded in a faint glow and walked slowly towards them.
The monks who were sitting under the tree waiting for medicine all stood up and saluted her. Yu Xuefei smiled brightly and returned the greetings one by one, finally walking to their table. "Yu Xuefei of Qianxiu Valley, greetings to Palace Master Feng."
Yu Xuefei's voice is very soft and makes people feel warm.
Feng Jue returned the greeting and said, "I've heard of Fellow Daoist Yu for a long time. The person next to you is Ling Ren, a disciple of the Lingshan Sect, and also my close friend. She is injured and recuperating in the building. I hope Fellow Daoist Yu will take good care of her from now on."
Yu Xuefei had a beautiful face, and her smiling eyes were as clear as spring water. She said softly, "I will do my best."
03 stared at her as she entered the Jinyu Tower. Soon, the medical practitioner who had treated 03 came out and said goodbye to everyone before going on an adventure. 03 was still staring at the door, and Feng Jue said unhappily, "Why don't you nail your eyes shut?"
"Hahaha." 03 let out a disguising laugh and asked, "Feng Jue, because you're the Palace Master of Lanyang Palace, did Yu Xuefei come specially to greet you?"
Feng Jue lazily responded. Her mother sacrificed her life for the empire, and this aura was passed down to her, not to be hidden. On many occasions, cultivators in Lanyang Palace treated her with extra care because she was Feng Yunong's daughter, and she accepted it with equanimity. Life was unpredictable, and she feared her modesty would be taken seriously, leading many to forget how much of the world's peace and prosperity came from a woman named Feng Yunong.
Feng Jue came back to her senses and found that 03 was still facing her with the back of his head. She raised her hand and knocked 03 on the head angrily.
Still watching!
"Ouch." 03 covered her head and turned back, her face beaming. Feng Jue felt something was wrong when she saw her expression, and then she heard 03 say, "Feng Jue, Feng Jue, Yu Xuefei's hair is so long, it hangs down here."
She gestured between her thighs.
Feng Jue said cautiously, "Hmm."
"Feng Jue, Yu Xuefei has a very gentle temper and seems very popular." 03 said, "Of course, Feng Jue is also very popular."
Feng Jue: "Heh."
"Feng Jue, I read the marriage report in the database and saw
Experts say a marriage with complementary personalities can reduce family conflicts!
What is an expert?
Feng Jue frowned, crushed the peanuts with her fingers, and placed two peanuts on the table. Ling Shi swam out from her sleeve, rolled up the peanuts with her tail and brought them to her mouth, staring at 03 with her blue eyes.
Let Jiao listen to what Zhuzi wants to do?
Zhuzi asked, "Feng Jue, do you like challenging things?"
Feng Jue immediately thought of Zhu Shiyu. Is it challenging to be a sword cultivator who practices the ruthless way?
"I like very challenging things." She lazily pinched a peanut and brought it to her lips. The tip of her tongue rolled around the round peanut, and her back teeth pressed down. There was a "crunch" sound, and the peanut: dead!
03 pondered and realized that as cultivators aiming to become immortals, they were all challenging human beings. She couldn't arbitrarily set her sights on Zhu Shiyu. 03 pondered carefully, and then, after revealing her true colors, she asked directly, "Do you prefer cool girls who wield swords, or girls with long, gentle hair?"
Feng Jue pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth, his chest heaving as he chuckled, "I like girls who are cold, use swords, have long hair, and are stupid."
"The dumber the better. After all, the dumber she is, the more challenging it is for me!"
After saying that, Feng Jue picked up the peanut shells and threw them on 03's head, snorting coldly: "Hurry up and give me the medicine, I want to go back to practice."
03 was analyzing Feng Jue's words. She thought Feng Jue wouldn't like stupid girls. There was a 70% chance that she had some hidden meaning and a 30% chance that she was deliberately mocking him. 03's analysis failed, so she said to Feng Jue, "I can come over and take the medicine by myself. I don't need Feng Jue to accompany me every day."
Feng Jue thought to himself: If I don’t come with you, I’m afraid you will go directly to Zhu Shiyu to ask what you think about giving up the ruthless way, and ask Yu Xuefei if she likes women who are rich, beautiful but have bad tempers.
"I'm happy to." She snorted and turned away.
Okay, okay.
03 Take your medicine obediently.
Unlike other injured cultivators who ventured out for adventure, 03 was comfortably recuperating in the Golden Jade Tower. She drank bitter medicine for seven days straight, and her complexion gradually improved. They planned to leave the Golden Jade Tower tomorrow and first head to the Beiyuan Glacier to retrieve the spiritual heart beneath it.
Ever since she was used to being surrounded by spiritual mist during her training, Feng Jue felt that her spiritual heart was on strike, and she felt that her training was not going smoothly. She walked out of the jade room and put it into the storage ring, intending to meet up with 03.
Yu Xuefei is extremely talented and is the young master of Qianxiu Valley. She has the top-grade magical instrument, the Medicine King Furnace, which has been passed down from generation to generation in Qianxiu Valley. The time it takes an ordinary medicine furnace to refine medicine in half a month or ten days can be shortened by half in her hands, and the quality of the refined elixirs is even better.
The blood wound cannot be healed in seven days, so Feng Jue asked her to refine a spiritual medicine for 03 to take after leaving Jinyu Tower.
But when Feng Jue had just taken two steps away, the ground suddenly shook, and countless birds were startled in the woods outside the valley.
Under the wisteria tree, the monks who were regulating their breathing quickly stood up and looked up at the sky in shock.
"What happened? Did the earth shake?"
"This noise doesn't sound like an earthquake. It seems like something big is coming!"
Feng Jue's hair suddenly stood on end, and an ominous feeling enveloped her. She took out her life-defining magic weapon and shouted, "It's Ling Ren!"
"Phoenix Technique."
The cold voice overlapped with Feng Jue's voice, and a green figure flew out of the Jinyu Tower and landed beside Feng Jue in the blink of an eye. 03 breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Feng Jue's wrist, and the two looked at each other and flew into the air.
Lingshi transformed into her original form and caught the two people. The two people and the dragon looked up in the air.
03: "Wow!"
Stone man!
The Jinyu Tower was built in a valley, with snow-capped mountains stretching to its other side. The snow never melted, leaving the landscape perpetually white. And at that moment, a gigantic figure emerged from this pure white. Its body was composed of stone, as if it had been assembled from boulders plucked from the snowy plain. One side of the stone was covered in white snow.
Its huge and heavy body allows it to walk easily in the snow-capped mountains, and its heavy footsteps cause the earth to tremble.
In front of this huge stone figure, two figures were fleeing frantically.
"Zhao Hangyi, Xue Bufan." Feng Jue called out their names.
Zhao Hang stepped on a golden abacus, carrying Xue Bufan. Xue Bufan looked seriously injured, with blood all over his white shirt. Zhao Hang shouted, "Please ask all the monks to leave the Jinyu Tower for a while. I will be of use to you!"
The monks had already fled from the Golden Jade Tower and were also flying in the air, staring at the stone giant in the snowy mountains in shock. One of them said, "Where did this stone giant come from? He must be in the late Jindan stage!"
03 She opened her backpack and took out Jiuxiao, which had been lying in the backpack for a long time. Before she could draw her sword, her hand was pressed down by Feng Jue.
"Wait a moment." Feng Jue said.
In the snowy mountains, Zhao Hang, who was running for his life, made hand gestures with his hands and muttered something. He shouted "Rise", and the Golden Jade Tower, which was originally sitting on the ground, suddenly flew up and flew straight towards Zhao Hang.
The Golden Jade Tower burst into golden light. Zhao Hang laughed loudly and controlled the Golden Jade Tower to crash into the stone giant.
Feng Jue was stunned. She didn't expect that the Golden Jade Tower was not just for rest like her Jade House, but also a magical weapon with both defensive functions.
In the snowy mountains, the Golden Jade Tower and the Stone Giant
The collision made an earth-shaking sound, and countless pieces of stone fell from the stone giant's body. It raised its arms and slapped the Jinyu Tower.
Zhao Hang, standing on the golden abacus, stuffed a handful of elixir into his mouth, muttering something to himself while performing spells with his hands. The Golden Jade Tower in mid-air suddenly grew larger, then plummeted down like a mountain, smashing down on the stone giant with a loud bang.
With a "rustling" sound, the stone giant fell to the ground and the stones were crushed by the Jinyu Tower.
"Boom!" The huge golden and jade building fell to the ground crookedly.
"Huh." Zhao Hangyi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down without any effort. He swallowed the blood that was rushing up, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his head. He said, "Okay, Brother Xue, we should not die--"
Before he finished speaking, Xue Bufan exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Zhao, be careful!"
Zhao Hang suddenly looked up and saw a huge stone flying towards him. It turned out that the stone giant whose half body was crushed by Jinyu Tower was still alive. His arms rushed towards the two of them, and the wind was whistling.
Xue Bufan drew out his sword and swung out a sword intent, but he was seriously injured, and the sword light hit the stone, like a snowflake falling to the ground, nothing happened.
At the critical moment, a clear sword sound was heard in the air, and heavy snow suddenly flew up from the vast snow-capped mountains. A silver-white light cut through the sky, and the sword light pierced the boulder, and in an instant, frost sealed the boulder.
The sharp sword intent was like a needle, piercing into the seemingly extremely tough boulder. With a "crackling" sound, the ice cracked and the stone shattered. Hundreds of golden dragon fragments and broken stones fluttered down with the snow.
Zhao Hang jumped up in an instant, dived down, spitting blood while picking up the fragments, and shouted: "Don't go!"
Xue Bufan, who was still working on the abacus, breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to 03, and whispered, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
03 swung his sword and said, "You're welcome."
Xue Bufan said in a gentle voice: "It's been a while since we last met. Congratulations, Senior Sister, on your advancement to the Spiritual Transformation Stage."
03 said: "Congratulations on your promotion to the Golden Core stage."
"It's just a coincidence." Xue Bufan lowered his eyes and smiled modestly.
03 nodded and said, "It was a coincidence for me."
As the snow drifted by, 03 looked at his respectful figure and turned away expressionlessly. Xue Bufan's heart relaxed. He looked up, glanced at 03's back, and transmitted his voice to the spiritual consciousness in the ring: "I don't know why, but this time when I saw Senior Sister, I felt inexplicably uneasy."
A hoarse voice fell into his ears: "I'm afraid you've been scared by her. Last time she pointed a sword at you, you didn't dare to say a word. You are such a coward! I think you should practice hard. When your cultivation level surpasses her one day, what's there to worry about?"
“
"Master is right." Xue Bufan nodded, and through the wind and snow he glanced at 03 from afar. Two young, stunning women, one in red and one in white, stood side by side. Xue Bufan suddenly raised his hand and pressed his heart, realizing that the uneasiness in his heart had not only not subsided, but had become even more intense.
He swallowed his saliva and muttered, "Strange..."
03 returned to Feng Jue, held Feng Jue's hand, and said, "Feng Jue, the stone man exploded into a lot of fragments."
"I see." Feng Jue frowned, looking at Zhao Hangyi who was searching for fragments in the snowy mountains, and asked doubtfully, "Have you ever encountered this kind of monster in the secret realm before?"
03 shook his head and said, "I asked the golden birds, but they haven't appeared since this morning."
Feng Jue frowned slightly, and heard 03 say, "Maybe a hidden mission is about to be launched."
Hidden mission?
Feng Jue was just about to ask 03 to explain in detail when two dragon roars suddenly rang out from the sky. All the cultivators in the Twin Dragons Secret Realm heard the thunderous roars and looked up.
Two entwined golden dragons appeared in the sky, looking majestic and speaking in human voices.
"Starting this month, stone giants will randomly appear in the secret realm. Killing them will yield a large number of golden dragon fragments. The time and place of the stone giants' appearances are uncertain, and their cultivation level is also uncertain. The amount of golden dragon fragments obtained after killing them is also uncertain. May you all be blessed by the heavens and may your wishes be granted."
After the Golden Dragon finished speaking, his huge figure disappeared into the air.
Soon, two golden birds flapped their wings and flew onto 03's shoulders. Feng Jue sighed, a satisfied look on her face. "Very good, I like this hidden mission. Let me make a deal with you: I'll kill any stone giants below the Golden Core stage, and you'll kill any stone giants above the Spiritualization stage."
03 nodded and said, "But before I go to kill the stone giant, I have to ask Zhao Hangyi for the fragments." She wanted to ask Zhao Hangyi to pay for her life-saving money. After all, she and Feng Jue had paid for tea for many days in Jinyu Tower.
03 He looked up to the sky and curled up the corners of his mouth.
