Chapter 54 Please hurry up.
Chapter 54
"What will appear in the system panel?" Bu Xingjin stared at the screen with anticipation, his heart filled with endless desire to explore.
Without any delay, the system panel instantly refreshed the result of a random reward.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the meditation ability."
On the system panel, a detail next to the backpack icon caught Bu Xingjin's attention. An icon consisting of two words—"meditation"—suddenly appeared.
Although Bu Xingjin thought about many possible functions, he never expected that he would gain such a strange ability.
Meditate.
In the gaming world Bu Xingjin had experienced, meditation was a mechanic that restored health and mana, while also granting players the opportunity to gain experience points for leveling up. However, for Bu Xingjin, this function didn't seem to be fully utilized, and he rarely used it during gameplay.
Bu Xingjin felt carefully that the meditation rewarded by the system was not as complicated and multi-functional as in the game. It had only one advantage: when using the system's meditation function, it could significantly improve the speed of cultivation, allowing him to move towards advancement more quickly.
However, meditation practice must follow certain time regulations, limited to a maximum of one hour per day.
The moment he gained access to the new feature, Bu Xingjin acted without hesitation. He sat cross-legged, tapped the mysterious meditation icon on the system panel, and began his journey of cultivation like a practitioner.
......
On the other side, Zhao Siwen found the master of Fuhua Peak at the top of Fuhua Peak.
He called out for a long time outside the door before the main hall door opened without a breeze. After entering the hall, he went straight to where the master of Fuhua Peak was and shouted anxiously, "Master, has Senior Sister Zhong contacted you?"
The Master of Fuhua Peak was quietly resting with his eyes closed. Upon hearing Zhao Siwen's question, he opened his eyes like lightning, his sharp gaze fixed on Zhao Siwen. He frowned slightly and replied firmly and coldly, "No."
While speaking, the leader of Fuhua Peak immediately began to contact Zhong Wenxin through his own means.
The contact failed.
The expression of the master of Fuhua Peak turned ugly, and he instantly changed to a more efficient way to reconnect.
The result was still failed.
At the same time, he had a very bad premonition in his heart. Without having time to explain to his apprentice, he disappeared in the hall in an instant.
Zhao Siwen stayed quietly there waiting for his master to come back. He had already seen from his master's actions that his senior sister had not contacted him either, and she had lost contact.
The master must have gone to the sect's elder Changfeng who is good at fortune-telling to predict the fortune of senior sister. He is waiting here so that he can get the news first.
Zhao Siwen didn't have to wait long. A quarter of an hour later, his master reappeared in the hall. He asked quickly, "Master, is something wrong with Senior Sister?"
The head of Floating Flower Peak was lost in thought, consumed by worry. The divinations performed by the elders of Changfeng had revealed a profoundly ominous omen. His only hope seemed to lie in the spirit of the plant and tree his daughter had once saved.
Because his daughter had been saved by a plant spirit, she felt a deep sense of gratitude towards all plant spirits. Whenever she encountered a plant spirit in distress, she would lend a helping hand without hesitation, saving countless lives. Perhaps even she herself could no longer recall exactly how many plant spirits she had saved.
It is almost impossible to find the only turning point among the children of plants and trees she had saved.
The master of Fuhua Peak could only ask Elder Changfeng for another divination on how to find the spirit of the plants.
The hexagram showed that something was both far away and close at hand. The master of Fuhua Peak immediately thought of what his daughter had told him, that the spirit of the plants and trees that brought the tragic news of his disciple's death had been saved by her and given a drop of spiritual essence.
Combining the hexagram, the master of Fuhua Peak was very sure that Bu Xingjin was the only hope for his daughter.
After thinking about it, the master of Fuhua Peak decided to go to Bu Xingjin's courtyard in person.
Before leaving, he explained the reason to Zhao Siwen.
"Master, you mean that Senior Sister is in trouble and only Bu Xingjin can save her, right?"
"This is what Elder Changfeng's hexagram shows." The head of Fuhua Peak replied.
"Xin'er's life lamp is still on, but it has become very weak. She may not be able to hold on for much longer."
Ordinary people rarely choose to make their own life lamps. This isn't simply because the process is tedious and requires a large amount of precious materials. More importantly, a life lamp not only indicates life and death, but also holds the power to determine life and death. Once the holder of a life lamp blows out the candle, it signifies the immediate death of the owner.
Zhong Wenxin's life lantern was crafted by the Peak Master of Fuhua Peak for his beloved daughter. Hidden away in an inaccessible place, its exact location known only to the Peak Master. Using the dim candlelight, he has saved his daughter from dire straits in countless moments of need.
Unexpectedly, it didn't work this time. My daughter's only chance of success was actually with someone else.
After saying this, the leader of Fuhua Peak waved his hand and brought Zhao Siwen to Bu Xingjin's courtyard.
At this time, Bu Xingjin had just finished meditating for about twenty minutes.
In just 20 minutes of practice, he gained more benefits than a full day of practice. Now, he could feel that he had the strength to break through the Golden Core Stage and enter the Nascent Soul Stage at any time.
However, when he ascends from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, he will face the test of a heavenly tribulation. Currently, he is unwilling to face this calamity and can only strive to suppress his own realm. As for meditation and cultivation, he no longer harbors any desire to try. At this moment, the Master of Fuhua Peak, accompanied by Zhao Siwen, suddenly appeared within Bu Xingjin's sight. Their presence surprised him.
"Peak Master, Zhao Siwen, why are you here?" Bu Xingjin asked puzzledly.
"Bu Xingjin, Senior Sister Zhong may have encountered an accident and needs your help." When the master of Fuhua Peak was about to speak, Zhao Siwen took the initiative to express his doubts.
What?
The fairy sister who generously gave him and Qing Yan a drop of spiritual essence each encountered misfortune. He wanted to say that as long as it was needed, he would do his best to help.
Bu Xingjin slowly stood up and asked with a determined look, "Everyone, how can I provide assistance?"
Zhao Siwen turned around and looked at his master, the master of Fuhua Peak.
"Xin'er contacted me the night before last and informed me that she had arrived in Shifang City. It's said that she found a clue in the city, indicating that the person who killed Xunwen had appeared there. Therefore, she went deep into Shifang City to search for Xunwen's murderer."
"It's possible she's still in Shifang City, or she might have left Shifang City following the news. Regardless, we can't contact her right now, and the life lamp indicates she's in danger. So I'd like you to go to Shifang City and bring Xin'er back to Floating Flower Peak."
Following the news about the middle-aged man in green robes, he went to Shifang City. Are there any dangerous places in Shifang City? He didn't seem to have encountered any. If someone lost contact without even being able to send a call for help, it must be an unusual place.
"Master, I forgot to tell you that the murderer who killed my senior brother is dead." Zhao Siwen forgot about this matter for a while because he was worried about his senior sister's condition. He only remembered it at this moment and told the master of Fuhua Peak the news.
"Dead? Who killed him?" If the murderer was dead, who was the daughter tracking? Was this the reason she was in danger?
"I don't know who killed him, but I'm sure the murderer is dead." Bu Xingjin stood up.
The leader of Fuhua Peak glanced at Bu Xingjin to confirm that he was not lying.
"Since he is already dead..." The master of Fuhua Peak fell into deep thought.
Bu Xingjin felt that Senior Sister Zhong was not in Shifang City, but he did not express his thoughts. Instead, he looked at the Peak Master of Fuhua Peak and said, "This place is not close to Shifang City. I'm afraid I can't get there immediately. It will take a few days."
"No need, I'll take you there directly."
After leaving a message for the sect leader, the Fuhua Peak Master, along with Bu Xingjin and Zhao Siwen, teleported several times to the gates of Shifang City. Teleporting over such a long distance, especially with two people, took a heavy toll on the Fuhua Peak Master, but no one could tell from the outside that he only had half of his spiritual power left.
"Go ahead and look for her. If you have any news about Xin'er, be sure to inform me immediately." The leader of Fuhua Peak stood outside Shifang City, seemingly reluctant to leave. The crowds of pedestrians flowed like a stream, yet no one seemed to notice his presence. Those who passed by him simply stepped aside subconsciously, not even realizing their actions. It wasn't that he didn't want to enter the city, but rather that his cultivation was so advanced that if he appeared silently on someone else's territory, he would inevitably be seen as a threat. At this moment, he simply wanted to find his daughter as quickly as possible, unwilling to waste even a moment.
"Yes, Master." Zhao Siwen said.
"Okay." Bu Xingjin said.
While it was still light, Bu Xingjin and Zhao Siwen followed the crowd into the city.
This was Zhao Siwen's first time in Shifang City. He looked at the pedestrians passing by on the street and the vendors hawking their wares on the street, and he didn't know what to do next.
"Come with me."
Bu Xingjin was already quite familiar with Shifang City, having spent some time there. Although he didn't believe Senior Sister Zhong had ever stayed there, since she had been there, she must have left traces within Shifang City. These traces had likely already been noticed by some organization.
So, Bu Xingjin decided to take Zhao Siwen to the Governor's Hall.
This time, none of the weird things that happened before happened, and Bu Xingjin was received smoothly.
On the way out, he took out the portrait of Senior Sister Zhong that Zhao Siwen had asked for and asked directly, "I need all the movements of this person since entering Shifang City."
After saying this, Bu Xingjin placed Senior Sister Zhong's portrait on the counter.
"Please hurry up."
