Chapter 434: Intuition is always accurate
Yun Qingqing looked at him seriously:
"The emperor has lost two souls and six spirits. Why didn't you wait for me to go back, but rushed here to find the elixir?"
Xiao Changheng's expression paused slightly:
"At that time, I didn't know when you would come back. The Imperial Master also said that only a soul-gathering elixir could save my brother. I remembered the matter of the Nine-Colored Illusionary Ganoderma, so... I didn't think too much and set off."
He looked at Yun Qingqing and emphasized, "It was my own decision to look for the Nine-Colored Illusionary Ganoderma. My brother was unconscious at the time, and I didn't discuss this with anyone. No one reminded or guided me to come here, so you don't have to think too much about it."
Yun Qingqing understood what he meant and said:
"I just feel that there is something wrong with this secret realm. It might be a trap."
Judging from the fact that the giant beast's inner elixir was contaminated by demonic energy, this incident was unlikely to be a coincidence. However, how much of a connection it had with the emperor's sudden loss of soul and Xiao Changheng's initiative to find him was still hard to say at the moment.
Xiao Changheng looked at her quietly for a while, and said in a light voice:
"Are you still doubting my brother?"
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes:
"You mean, he really heard you talk about the Nine-Colored Illusionary Ganoderma?"
Xiao Changheng frowned, lowered his eyes for a while, and finally spoke slowly:
"I was still young when I read the book in my master's sect, and I just treated it as a story. Later, after returning to the capital, I mentioned it to my brother. Apart from him, only my master knew about it."
"But whether it's my royal brother or my master, there's no reason for them to harm me."
He raised his eyes to look at Yun Qingqing, as if asking, explaining, or seeking her approval, and whispered:
"You said last time that my brother never offered any power. Could there be another reason?"
"You know, it was my brother who saved me and raised me. Over the years, he was the only person in the court that I was not on guard against."
"If he wanted to do something to me, he could have done it at any time. He wouldn't have had to wait until now, and he wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble."
Yun Qingqing was silent for a while and said:
"It's just a reasonable suspicion."
She knew that there were too few clues and too many doubts in this matter. According to her usual habit, she would not mention it until there was concrete evidence.
If it weren't for the inner elixir that was tainted with demonic energy, she wouldn't have asked Xiao Changheng these questions.
She sighed softly and said:
"This matter has not been concluded yet, so you don't have to think too much about it for now."
Xiao Changheng hummed softly and fell silent.
Yun Qingqing stood up and extended her hand towards Xiao Changheng:
"Let's go, get out of the secret realm first, and then we'll talk about it when we get back."
Xiao Changheng looked at her hand and paused, but did not extend his hand. He stood up silently and said in a calm voice:
"Let's go."
Yun Qingqing frowned slightly, withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the exit of the secret realm.
As she was about to reach the exit, she remembered one more thing.
"I have examined the emperor's amnesia. I am confident that I can cure him. My chances are greater than using the Nine-Colored Magic Ganoderma." She said calmly.
Xiao Changheng stopped, turned to her, was silent for a moment, and said:
"……condition?"
Yun Qingqing: ...
Although she did have this idea in mind, he assumed that she had conditions right away, which still made her feel a little uneasy.
Yun Qingqing suppressed her annoyance and said seriously:
"I will cure the emperor, on the condition that the Nine-Colored Magic Ganoderma will be mine."
Xiao Changheng nodded without hesitation:
"good."
Yun Qingqing stepped down and was about to step onto the glowing stone platform when Xiao Changheng's faint voice sounded again:
"But when we were fighting the beast, I made a deal with Yuwen Ye. He has half of this Huanzhi. If you want all of it, you need to discuss it with him."
Yun Qingqing didn't think much about it and smiled calmly:
"That's perfect. This Nine-Colored Magic Ganoderma was originally meant for him. I don't think he will refuse."
Xiao Changheng paused and looked at her back, with no emotion visible in his dark eyes.
Yun Qingqing had already stepped onto the stone platform, and her figure disappeared in a faint light, leaving the secret realm.
Xiao Changheng stood there, stunned for a long while, then he took a deep breath and stepped onto the stone platform.
The light and shadows in front of his eyes changed, and in a moment he was back outside the secret realm. He saw Yun Qingqing waiting outside, looking at him in confusion:
"What's wrong? Why did you take so long to come out?"
Her expression suddenly changed slightly:
"Is he in trouble again in there?"
Xiao Changheng looked at her coldly and shook his head:
"It's okay, let's go."
Yun Qingqing glanced at him again, and seeing that he was still as distant as ever, she frowned slightly and nodded:
"Let's go."
After they took a few steps, they saw Yuwen Ye waiting in front.
He saw that Xiao Changheng had woken up, and seemed to be relieved. He walked over quickly and greeted Yun Qingqing:
"You just said you had something to tell me, can you tell me now?"
Yun Qingqing nodded and asked:
"You came here specifically to look for the Nine-Colored Illusionary Ganoderma this time, too?"
Yuwen Ye glanced at Xiao Changheng and met his slightly cold gaze.
Yuwen Ye coughed lightly:
"Indeed, but never mind. There are more than one kind of treasure that can gather souls. I will look for it later."
Yun Qingqing didn't know what happened in the secret realm before, so she just followed her own thoughts and asked:
"Why do you need a soul-gathering object? Can you tell me?"
Yuwen Ye was a little hesitant. He didn't want to tell anyone else about this matter.
But thinking that Yun Qingqing was the head of Tianming Pavilion, and the shocking aura of witnessing her slaying the beast with one sword, he still said truthfully:
"I've been having nightmares recently, so I went to the ancestral altar to have a divination, and the hexagram showed this nine-colored phantom ganoderma. The chief priest said that judging from the result of the divination, my nightmares must be related to souls, so I came here specifically to look for this phantom ganoderma."
After hearing what he said, Yun Qingqing understood and curled her lips slightly:
"This divination is correct. The Nine-Colored Magic Ganoderma can indeed solve your nightmare problem, and it must be whole to be effective."
Yuwen Ye smiled helplessly:
"Forget it, I'll go look somewhere else."
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly and looked at him:
"That's not necessary. I can give you the entire Nine-Colored Magic Ganoderma. I can also teach you how to use it for the best effect."
Yuwen Ye was stunned:
"really?"
"Of course I take it seriously." Yun Qingqing changed the subject, "But I also have conditions."
Yuwen Ye felt more reassured when he heard her put forward the conditions, and immediately said:
"You say, as long as I can do it."
Yun Qingqing looked at him:
"I remember you have a golden ring in your hand?"
"That's right...you want the Langhuan Golden Order?" Yuwen Ye understood.
Yun Qingqing had already known that there was a place in this world that was completely independent of any country, and it was called the Langhuan Secret Palace.
It is said that the Langhuan Secret Hall possesses all the books in the world. As long as there is written record, the original record or backup can be found here.
In other words, the Langhuan Secret Hall possesses the most complete knowledge base in the world, and its value is self-evident.
But since the Langhuan Secret Palace appeared in the world, very few people have actually found it and entered it.
Because no one in the outside world knows its true location, everyone who has been there has followed a strict set of procedures to enter, and no one has ever successfully marked the location of the Langhuan Palace.
The Langhuan Order is the pass for outsiders to enter the Langhuan Palace.
The tokens are divided into wooden tokens and golden tokens. Wooden tokens can only be used once, while golden tokens can be used five times. No matter which kind of Langhuan token it is, once it appears in the world, it will often attract countless covetousness, and even cause bloodshed.
When Yun Qingqing first met Yuwen Ye in the Imperial Capital, he invited her to join Beicang as the Imperial Master in exchange for the Langhuan Golden Order, but Yun Qingqing ruthlessly rejected the offer.
But recently Yun Qingqing learned that this world was the one she sacrificed herself to save, and she also discovered that people like Qingfengzi and Honghuang Palace have been secretly acting. She has been collecting information, trying to find out who is behind the threat to this world.
So whenever she had the chance, she would collect and read ancient books, hoping to find more clues.
If you can enter the Langhuan Palace, it will undoubtedly be the best way to collect information.
So when she saw Yuwen Ye again today and saw the obvious cause and effect line on his body, Yun Qingqing immediately thought of his Langhuan Gold Order.
This is when I put forward this condition.
When Yuwen Ye heard her mention this, he said without hesitation:
"No problem. I can exchange the Langhuan Gold Token for the Nine-Colored Magic Ganoderma."
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows:
"You don't have to exchange the entire gold token for it. I just need the right to use it once."
She was somewhat surprised. The value of the Langhuan Golden Order was much higher than that of rare spiritual medicine, so she just wanted the right to use it once at the beginning.
Yuwen Ye shook his head and smiled:
"I have a hunch that the Nine-Colored Illusionary Ganoderma is inestimable to me. It is not a loss for me to exchange it with the Langhuan Order. Please do not refuse, Princess."
Yun Qingqing looked at him again with some surprise, and suddenly smiled knowingly:
"Your intuition is always right."
Yuwen Ye wanted to smile back, but suddenly he froze and looked at her, not knowing what to say.
What does she mean?
Hasn't she only seen me a few times? Why does it sound like...she has known me for a long time?
