Chapter 71 071 Going to Cui Luoying's House
"I was seriously injured and unconscious at the time, and I was unable to swallow. It was because Junior Sister Song fed me the pills that I was able to swallow them," Su Yu explained in a calm tone.
He has a dignified air about him, and generally speaking, whatever he says is very convincing.
At this moment, most people present were looking at the sky and the ground, indicating that they would just accept it as such.
It's clear that no one is really thinking anything good.
Furthermore, some disciples of the Tai Xuan Immortal Dynasty were secretly gossiping that this woman might become the Crown Princess, which angered the disciples of the Zi Yan Divine Palace, who claimed she was in love with Xue Rongzhan and was a member of the Zi Yan Divine Palace.
Song Chi was speechless upon hearing these words. These people were utterly obstinate.
She couldn't help but glance sideways at Su Yu, "Look at the kind of subordinates you have. And Xue Rongzhan, look at the kind of gossipy junior brothers you have."
Su Yu remained expressionless, simply using his spiritual power to disperse the gossiping disciples of the Tai Xuan Immortal Dynasty.
"Don't worry, I'll deal with them later and I'll make sure I don't disgrace Junior Sister Song's reputation." He added.
Xue Rongzhan smiled faintly, explaining that he had simply sealed those disciples of the Purple Evolution Divine Palace with his spiritual power.
But what's the use? Song Chi only felt that her perverted little hobby would soon be added to the gossip.
Her reputation is beyond redemption.
Just looking at Song Yun clutching her forehead, looking like she was about to faint, made it clear. Even her brother probably had the wrong idea, let alone the others.
This cultivation world is still too idle.
When Jin Juan pointed out a spiritual energy vortex teleportation array near her feet, Song Chi jumped in without a second thought, regardless of the potential danger. However, she did put on a show for a moment after all.
"Oh dear!" Before disappearing, she heard Song Yun frantically calling her name.
And then he saw him rushing towards them. Song Chi thought to himself, "Brother, please don't come any closer. It's safer for a delicate alchemist like you to stay with the main group."
Fortunately, her mission was rather unique, requiring her to act alone. Therefore, even though Song Yun didn't manage to pounce on them, there were actually several other figures present, though she couldn't discern their identities.
But in reality, when she fell, Ye Qingyu rushed over, but his footing gave way and he disappeared without a trace.
At the time, everyone else suspected that Ye Qingyu and Song Chi had fallen to the same place, and therefore breathed a slight sigh of relief. After all, Ye Qingyu was very strong, and he was probably willing to risk his life to protect Song Chi.
But in reality, if Song Chi knew what they were thinking, it was impossible for him to just laugh it off.
Ye Qingyu is probably heading to Cui Xue Ruo's Enchanting Flower Sea to complete the exorcism mission.
She also wanted to take advantage of this time to complete the quest to obtain the Peach Blossom Spirit Branch, as indicated by the golden scroll. And it wasn't even for her own sake that she would acquire the treasure.
Because Su Yu's timeline changed, the fates of the others also changed. She had to help Cui Luoying.
Otherwise, this person might not even make it to the Flying Immortal Platform before he dies.
But this man can't die. He was actually the main force in exorcising evil spirits when the Flying Immortal Platform was finally unsealed. We must use his Peach Blossom Immortal Skill to remove the evil spirits lurking around the Flying Immortal Platform.
The golden scroll hinted that this peach blossom spirit branch was a key celestial treasure to help Cui Luoying's Peach Blossom Immortal Skill reach a higher level, and she absolutely had to obtain it. Otherwise, it would be considered a mission failure, and she would have to go crying and begging for a hug again.
What else could Song Chi say but complete the mission?
This time, without the tiny, barely perceptible spiritual energy bubbles escorting him, Song Chi relied entirely on his own two legs to run.
They passed through four or five evil formations and three or five forests shrouded in poisonous mist. Along the way, they carried the divination slips of the immortals, the antidote pills given to them by their brothers, and poison pills for fighting poison with poison, scattered everywhere.
They really did travel through mountains and seas, running for two days and two nights.
When Song Chi arrived at the scene, she was covered in poison and filthy. She had also suffered many injuries.
She looked even worse than when she was chasing after Hua Shalan.
Upon arriving at the location, she found herself in a stinking, blackened mud pit. Jin Juan advised her that she must dig through the mud with her bare hands and venture deep into the pit to find the two peach pits.
And it has to be quick, only fifteen minutes. Otherwise, the evil spirit will rush over and cause chaos.
"Go to hell."
As she plunged into the stinking, muddy center of the pit, Song Chi couldn't help but curse under her breath. She was the kind of person who was a little bit of a germaphobe, and wading through this muddy pit was practically killing her.
Having accomplished her mission, she finally reached the bottom of the lake a quarter of an hour before it was too late, and found the two peach pits inside a palm-sized, clear spring bubble ball.
Honestly, they're just two very ordinary peach pits. Any immortal peach tree in the cultivation world could produce them.
Song Chi didn't think much of it at the time and followed the instructions in the golden scroll to drip blood onto the peach pit. Then, in an instant, the peach pit sprouted and grew into a sapling about two feet tall.
The sapling shook, and countless springs gushed forth from the ground. Enveloping her in the clear water, her hair and clothes miraculously became clean.
There was even a very pleasant, refreshing scent emanating from him.
Song Chi thought to herself. This immortal peach branch was indeed reciprocating her kindness; she brought it into the world, and it immediately and spiritually cleansed her entire body.
As the spirit spring leaped out of the water, Song Chi saw the ghostly figures of evil spirits indeed rush out from the surrounding dark forest. But as the spirit spring rushed towards them, after a series of terrified, muffled sounds, the evil spirits vanished without a trace.
This immortal peach is indeed a magical object that wards off evil spirits.
Song Chi took two large double-eared vases, filled them with two urns of water, put the immortal peaches into the vases, and then stored them in his storage ring.
At this point, the golden scroll gave another prompt.
"Plant these two immortal peaches in Cui Luoying's peach garden within three days of leaving the secret realm. The two of them should then use the Peach Blossom Immortal Melody to soothe the immortal peaches' spirits, thus achieving the effect of irrigation."
Song Chi: "!!" What's going on? Not again? This is a secret realm, does she have to rush to Cui Luoying's garden and work hard to plant peach trees?
And what was the reason for going to see him?
Song Chi was immediately filled with remorse. He should have known better than to rush back with that invitation. He wondered what his master's expression would be when he returned and had to send an invitation to Cui Luoying.
What kind of expressions would others have?
How infuriating! They actually have to plant this peach tree themselves, and play music in harmony with it.
Song Chi didn't even need to think about it. He was already prepared for what those damned rumors would become!
These tasks can't be taken seriously.
She didn't have time to grumble anymore; she had to rush into the Immortal Palace before Cui Xueruo reached it.
According to the golden scroll, the distance between her and the Immortal Palace would require her to travel day and night for three days and two nights.
During this time, while she was taking a Qi-restoring pill to recover her spiritual energy and recuperate, Jin Juan also created a screen wall for her, letting her know that Cui Xue Ruo's situation was actually quite miserable as well.
Perhaps the intention was to make everyone who entered the barrier bewitched by the sea of enchanting flowers, thus achieving the goal of irresistibly moving them, thereby forming a causal array to keep evil spirits outside the celestial palace.
Therefore, each time the two people entered the barrier, they had to go through various tribulations. Inside the barrier, earth dragons ran rampant, and the magic array whipped up ghostly images that plowed through the grassy area of the spring like a plow, constantly shaking and occasionally bursting out to attack Cui Xue Ruo and Ye Qing Yu in the air.
Countless flower vines, like dark ghosts, lurked around, launching sinister attacks from time to time.
But Cui Xue Ruo and Ye Qing Yu were both incredibly brave and resolute, constantly dealing with these things. They also searched the grasslands around the array flags.
Song Chi knew perfectly well what they were searching for. It was the token for opening the Immortal Palace; all three tokens were scattered within the barrier, waiting for a destined person to claim them.
And they were absolutely certain they could obtain the token. It was a small golden sword, which then fell into Jon Snow's hands.
The two coughed up blood and collapsed into the Bewitching Spring. Fearing they would be drugged by the spring, they could only climb out of the water, utterly exhausted.
They helped each other out during the trip. But when they reached the spring, they immediately started spitting blood and had to roll back a few steps.
This is completely different from what's in the book. Those ascended beings, no matter how much they calculated, could never have foreseen the intense emotions buried deep within this person's heart.
Unlike the original book, Cui Xue Ruo doesn't argue with Ye Qing Yu while fighting the evil formation. In the book, she is saved by Ye Qing Yu several times, but then suffers his sarcastic remarks about being too weak, causing her to have mixed feelings of love and hate.
Ye Qingyu also had different feelings for Cui Xueruo on several occasions because of the warmth and softness of her body.
At the time, readers criticized the author for writing the romance too awkwardly. They felt the female lead's tendency to love and hate every single person who saved her was incredibly erratic. Such criticisms were rampant, showering the author with insults. However, this didn't stop some readers who enjoyed melodramatic stories from thinking, "This is too much, give us more!"
Song Chi was also a fan of melodramatic stories back then.
There was nothing dramatic to watch now. Cui Xueruo had still conjured up Mo Shubai, but this time she was a bit bolder, daring to have Mo Shubai's face turned to the side. But he still had no expression, the same serious face of Mo Shubai when he was still a celestial master, the face of a teacher.
Even in his dreams, he wouldn't dare to be bold, so Song Chi had nothing to say.
Let her do it... Never mind, she has no feelings.
As for Ye Qingyu, unsurprisingly… he was fantasizing about her. And it was actually her from when she was thirteen, playing the zither in the garden. If this were a memory, that brat Ye Qingyu would probably have been watching her from the second-floor window next door for days before jumping over the wall!
This lurking, watchful look was still tinged with a beautiful peach-pink halo in his imagination.
This kid... is truly hopeless.
Song Chi waved her hand, making the screen disappear. She immediately set off on her way.
After a two-day, two-night journey, she was covered in a mess of poison powder.
The screen wall reappeared, this time with Su Qiwu transformed into a phoenix, bravely breathing fire to save Cui Xue Ruo within the barrier.
This time, Cui Xueruo genuinely showed great gratitude towards Su Qiwu. This was because during the rescue, Su Qiwu had injured one of his wings, which drooped and was covered in blood.
Once a jade pendant from the Celestial Palace fell into Cui Xue Ruo's hands, the two fell into the Enchanting Spring, and Su Qi Wu regained his human form. His arm injury was indeed severe, but after taking a healing pill and being nourished by the spring water, the wound healed quickly.
But the two dared not linger at the Enchanted Spring and, despite the excruciating pain, crawled to the shore.
This time, there was no way for them to get away from each other; they could only look at each other and close their eyes slightly.
Then they each went back to their own illusions. This time, Cui Xue Ruo finally dared to boldly meet Mo Shu Bai in the peach forest where pink petals were flying everywhere. She only dared to glance at him from afar. When Mo Shu Bai turned around and smiled slightly, Cui Xue Ruo's face instantly turned red, and the entire illusion began to collapse.
As for Su Qiwu... the image that appeared in Bai Jianghu's mind was that of her playing the zither the night before she came to Qingjian Sect to become a disciple.
That day, she was simply boating on the lake with her parents, and she played a few melodious tunes. Little did she expect that Su Qiwu would see her in a tavern on the shore.
Is it possible to fall in love at first sight like this...?
Song Chi was at a loss for words. Her playing was all technique, devoid of emotion; Su Qiwu, with his musical talent, could tell the difference. And yet, this moved his heart. Song Chi was starting to suspect that some kind of bewitching incense had been planted on her by those ascended beings, specifically designed to seduce their souls.
She never activated this skill in her past life; she was incredibly lonely. It's likely those ascended beings did something.
"No way, you were the succubus of the entire academy in your past life. You must have never heard of that before!" Drunken Cloud Hermit strongly refuted.
And the things she said were completely fabricated. The whole academy was full of succubi? What did she use to seduce them, and how did she exorcise them? To cover up the fact that they had tampered with things, she would say anything and everything.
Song Chi strongly condemned this and did not believe it at all.
The moment the barrier collapsed, Cui Xueruo threw three tokens forward, and the Immortal Palace indeed headed towards her and Su Qiwu.
