Chapter 103 Sword Dao Opportunity 2 Xie Jiaoyue shared her body with Chu...
Xie Jiaoyue tried everything on her that was related to Chu Xingjin, and even tried it on Feng Qianqian herself while she looked completely bewildered.
In the end, all that remained was a semi-transparent curtain wall; what lay behind it was visible but intangible, leaving one feeling anxious and helpless.
Xie Jiaoyue suddenly saw that little golden grass.
Since they found this place through the golden grass, could this also be one of the keys?
After trying it, I found that it didn't work.
Xie Jiaoyue paced around in frustration.
That's right. Only they got the golden grass; Chu Xingjin didn't have it. Even if it was originally one of the keys, it might have been changed by fate.
What could Chu Xingjin possibly obtain?
As she pondered, she watched Xie Xinghui playing with the pathfinding disc, spinning it around like a top on the ground.
The navigation disc is made from the bones and teeth of a monster.
Monsters...
Chu Xingjin was present when she killed the monster! Chu Xingjin might have taken a small part of the monster's body while they were off guard.
Xie Jiaoyue first tried the navigation disc, but it didn't work. She then took out an untreated demon beast horn from her storage ring and used the sharp tip to poke at the semi-transparent curtain wall in front of her.
The moment the tip of the monster's horn touched the translucent curtain wall, the originally calm curtain wall rippled like lake water, with the tip of the horn as the center. After the ripples dissipated, a hole as tall as a person suddenly appeared.
It's done!
"Quick, quick, let's go in! I suspect this door will disappear in a moment!"
Xie Jiaoyue was about to step inside when she stopped. Although time was tight, the necessary preparations could not be neglected.
"Wait a minute, let's hold hands from front to back, so we don't get separated if something happens when we go in."
Standing behind Xie Jiaoyue was Gongshi Moyu. After she finished speaking, she took Gongshi Moyu's hand.
That hand was a whole size bigger than hers, and there wasn't a single burr on its dry surface.
Is this Danxiu's hand? It's definitely different from hers, who practices swordsmanship. Her hands have a lot of calluses, and her palms are not this soft at all.
Xie Jiaoyue couldn't help but scratch Gongshi Moyu's palm, then pressed her palm against Gongshi Moyu's palm. The slightly warm temperature against her palm felt very comfortable.
The initial nervousness subsided suddenly after she grasped Gong Shi Moyu's hand.
Gong Shi Moyu held back for a while, but still couldn't help asking, "Why are you pinching my palm?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xinghui, who was standing behind Gong Shi Moyu, immediately perked up his ears and held his breath, afraid of missing any gossip.
Xie Jiaoyue calmly replied, "Oh, I wanted you to help me check if the other people were holding hands properly."
Xie Jiaoyue gave a nonsensical answer. She didn't know why she did it; she just suddenly felt like doing it.
Xie Xinghui was getting a little anxious. This answer was clearly problematic. "Brother Moyu, try again! Maybe there's another answer?"
However, Gongshi Moyu deliberately stopped asking.
Gong Shi Moyu turned around, using his height to check each person behind him, and then said to Xie Jiaoyue, "Yes, they're all holding hands. We should go, the door is starting to get unstable."
After saying that, Xie Jiaoyue didn't hesitate any longer and immediately set off.
Only Xie Xinghui stood behind, looking lost and forlorn.
They are a perfect match, both talented and good-looking. One is full of ideas, and the other has a steady personality. They are also childhood sweethearts who grew up together. He was starting to ship them, but the real couple simply refused to share any sweet moments.
After the five people entered the semi-transparent curtain wall, the door that had briefly appeared behind them shook and disappeared completely, along with the path they had come from. Looking back, all that remained was a stretch of lush green grass.
Gongshi Moyu was the first to release Xie Jiaoyue's hand, and took two steps back on his own, finding that there were no obstacles and he could move freely.
The invisible wall had completely disappeared, and they had lost their way back.
"The road we came from is gone; we can only move forward." Gongshi Moyu almost laughed out loud after saying this.
Even someone as composed as him couldn't suppress a smile upon seeing the scene before him. Look at all that's growing all over this mountain! These rare spiritual plants are not just everywhere, but you can find them by simply looking down and searching among the grass and trees!
For a pill refiner like Gong Shi Moyu, this place was simply paradise. He even wanted to take out his pill furnace right there and stay here for a few years to refine his pill refining skills.
The group wandered around the area, and Xie Xinghui, who was mainly cultivating artifacts, exclaimed in surprise.
Looking at the rare spiritual wood that was over a hundred years old, and the faint golden light emanating from it, which seemed to be a black stone with excellent adhesive properties that could greatly enhance the properties of materials, and in the cave not far away, he could faintly sense the aura of a thousand-year-old ice.
Heavens above, is this some kind of treasure land for weapon refiners?
Jin Wan was also very happy. He had already seen several ingredients from ancient recipes, things he had never seen before!
Xie Jiaoyue sensed it for a moment. The spiritual energy concentration in the Qingyuan Secret Realm was already twice as high as that in the outside world, so spiritual creatures were abundant. But the spiritual energy concentration here was several times higher than in other parts of the Qingyuan Secret Realm, and very few people came in, so the spiritual creatures were naturally inexhaustible, seemingly endless.
It's suspicious that such a place requires the Qingyuan Secret Realm map held by the Gongshi clan to enter. Once they get out, they will surely expose the Gongshi clan's evil deeds.
The group did not immediately begin collecting spiritual items on the spot. Even without prior discussion, they all gathered together and planned to head up the mountain.
If the land at the foot of the mountain is so bountiful, the things on the mountain are beyond imagination.
Could it be the spiritual spring water that Foundation Establishment Pills need most? That's a scarce resource that every aristocratic family desperately needs.
With their limited knowledge, the most outrageous thing they could think of right now was seeing a spring of spiritual energy, allowing them to indulge in a great deal of fun.
After walking for about half an hour, Jin Wan, panting heavily, called out to Xie Jiaoyue, "Sister Jiaoyue, I can't go on. I feel an overwhelming pressure as we go higher, and it's making it hard for me to move."
His legs were visibly trembling, and with just a little more force, he would kneel on the ground.
Besides him, Xie Xinghui, whose cultivation level was the lowest, also had fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Clearly, although Xie Xinghui can still persevere for now, he can no longer advance further.
Xie Xinghui helped Jin Wan up to prevent him from kneeling and paying his respects to everyone.
"Why don't we go back? Anyway, with our current cultivation levels, we don't need any particularly good spiritual items. The opportunity to break through the heavens wouldn't be of much use to us."
Xie Xinghui knew that it was not useless, but if he and Jin Wan insisted on going forward, others would have to devote a lot of energy to taking care of them. If they encountered danger, such as the Gongshi family, they would not know what to do.
Wanting better opportunities is fine, but if you hold back the big shots, you might never have the chance to follow in their footsteps again.
Xie Xinghui and Jin Wan could clearly distinguish between a moment and a lifetime.
Feng Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back with them too. Although I can still withstand the current pressure, we haven't even reached the halfway point yet. If we want to climb to the top, we'll probably need at least the Foundation Establishment stage. I'm only at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, which is far from enough. I might as well take advantage of the abundant spiritual energy here to cultivate in peace. Maybe when you come back, I can try to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Xie Jiaoyue and Gongshi Moyu didn't say much when faced with their teammates' choices.
Everyone knows that this is the most suitable choice.
They arrived later than the Gongshi clan. If they delayed any longer, the Gongshi clan might take all the opportunities, leaving them with only the things at the foot of the mountain.
It's not that those things are bad, but it's really upsetting to see the people who plotted against you reaping far greater rewards than you.
Xie Jiaoyue and Gong Shi Moyu each presented a protective magic weapon and a spirit pill, respectively, while Xie Xinghui also took out a self-developed small magic weapon.
Since entering this place, Xie Xinghui discovered that the Spirit Compass was no longer usable, and the secret weapon he had prepared in advance could finally come in handy.
"This is a small magic item that I specially crafted before I came here. I call it the Minor Spirit Communication Mirror. As long as we are no more than ten miles apart, we can contact each other through this item."
He had a proud little expression on his face, as if he was waiting for praise.
Xie Jiaoyue took the two and handed one to Gongshi Moyu.
Xie Xinghui's expression turned from pride to a desire to kowtow. He quickly said, "You two give it a try and see if it works. If something happens to you two, the three of us might not be able to get out."
Xie Jiaoyue picked up the Ruyi-shaped magic weapon and, following the method given by Xie Xinghui, channeled her spiritual energy into it, silently reciting her thoughts and the person she wanted to convey them to: "Hey, Brother Moyu, we'll be alone together soon, are you nervous?"
Gong Shi Moyu's spiritual mirror flashed, and he channeled his spiritual energy into it, indeed receiving a message from Xie Jiaoyue.
Gong Shi Moyu's face stiffened. Xie Jiaoyue's words today had really made him start to have all sorts of wild thoughts.
Xie Xinghui, who had been observing everything, didn't miss any of the awkward moments and immediately asked, "Sister Jiaoyue, what did you say?"
"I'll ask Brother Moyu if he'll be nervous being alone with me for a while, since I'm a genius sword cultivator and I'm particularly good at putting pressure on people."
After saying this, Gongshi Moyu's face returned to calm.
So that's what it meant. There was no ambiguity or romantic undertones at all.
Gongshi Moyu was somewhat disappointed, but also felt relieved.
Xie Jiaoyue's personality is truly exasperating.
Gong Shi Moyu thought about it and realized that Xie Jiaoyue in her previous life was just like that—lively, playful, and fond of teasing people from time to time.
Xie Jiaoyue was spoiled by her family, and he was one of those who spoiled and indulged Xie Jiaoyue.
