Chapter 75 075 Infiltrating Wen Yujiu's Courtyard
Song Chi quickly declined. In the end, it was the butler who came to see her off, and Song Chi was still very suspicious, wondering if it was Steward Zeng.
Cui Luoying, however, seemed to understand her little scheme quite well, and whispered something to her. "The butler's surname is Chen."
This meant she could rest assured that what she was worried about would not happen. So Song Chi left, feeling at ease.
As soon as she left, Cui Luoying immediately swallowed a Nourishing Essence Pill. However, she did not leave the peach grove. Several figures instantly appeared from the depths of the peach grove; they were several Nascent Soul elders from the Cui family.
None of them advised Cui Luoying to rest; instead, they carefully examined the two peach trees.
They each used the Cui family's Peach Blossom Immortal Technique, yet they couldn't detect anything special about the two saplings. They really did look like two ordinary peach trees.
Could it be that the little girl really just casually dug up two saplings in the secret realm, and because she missed her lover Luo Ying, she deliberately sought an opportunity to come to the Peach Blossom Garden, where the two of them planted them together to confirm their feelings?
However, those three pieces were indeed music for the three spiritual roots of metal, water, and wood, cultivated through sound. They could all be used to irrigate spiritual plants.
However, there is also a possibility.
The final, tender melody on the piano was the true purpose of this trip.
She intended to express her feelings for Luo Ying through the song.
Several elders couldn't help but glance at Cui Luoying. Even though he was pale and weak, it couldn't hide his ethereal beauty and otherworldly charm. How could such a man not captivate a woman's heart?
However, even the elders had heard a bit about Song Chi's many scandals. Furthermore, they had previously worried that she would ruin Xue Ruo's love life, since both of their destined partners seemed to be interested in this woman.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, the elders actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as rumored, this person has the temperament of a playboy. This temperament is comparable to that of the legendary Immortal Lord Liuyue.
With such a temperament, Xue Ruo's destined lovers will surely fall for her soon. Indeed, everything is predestined, so there's no need to worry.
Cui Luoying was somewhat speechless under the elders' ambiguous and smiling gazes. He felt that these two peach trees were Song Chi's real purpose for coming here.
After all, Song Chi's last song was just as emotionless as ever... utterly devoid of feeling. Such a heart of ice and snow was truly unparalleled in her life. Thinking about it, Cui Luoying couldn't help but chuckle and sigh.
Ironically, this ruthlessness was precisely what truly moved Song Chi.
Hidden in the shadows, Fairy Yilan and Cui Xue Ruo had been using their spiritual power to probe the two peach trees, but they hadn't found out anything.
Therefore, Cui Xueruo was quite puzzled.
"Could it be that she really has feelings for Uncle Sixteen?"
"Why did she discard that man's heart so easily after winning it over?"
These words were spoken with red eyes, tinged with resentment. It was also a sense of grievance on Mo Shubai's behalf.
As Fairy Yilan watched Cui Xue Ruo blush and run away after saying those words, she couldn't help but smile faintly.
She no longer knew what she felt for that man. Ever since the Immortal Alliance Grand Competition, when she saw that gentle pity in his eyes, she truly realized that all her fantasies would never come true.
Shu Bai never had any feelings for her, contrary to her fantasy that she could eventually warm his icy heart by simply waiting devotedly.
His heart was clearly not truly as solid as ice and snow.
The one before her was truly heartless. But even in his heartlessness, he was incredibly captivating. Especially his eyes, which reflected the mountains and rivers in a pale light; for some reason, despite showing no emotion whatsoever, they inexplicably drew her attention.
Even she felt that there must be a different and wonderful world hidden deep at the bottom of that well of eyes.
No wonder even Luo Ying, the sixteenth brother, has fallen in love. Who knows what the future holds?
After all, they are bound by fate, so it's highly unlikely that she and Shu Bai will end up together.
At this moment, Fairy Yilan felt somewhat numb, unable to pinpoint any particular emotion. She seemed to have almost completely forgotten that past relationship.
Now, like everyone else in the cultivation world, she pointlessly pays attention to Song Chi's scandals and speculates about who she will ultimately choose.
Song Chi left Peach Blossom Village and returned to Yaochi City in a glass-bottomed carriage.
As soon as they entered the main city streets, they could hear the tender melody she played in the Peach Blossom Garden coming from the tavern next door.
She smacked her lips immediately. Fantastic, truly worthy of the cultivation world she knew.
Despite the Cui family's airtight security, the moment she stepped out the door, rumors about her spread like wildfire throughout Yaochi City.
It's estimated that it will spread throughout the entire cultivation world in a while.
As soon as she lifted the carriage curtain for a quick glance, voices of "It's her!" "It's her!" "It's definitely her!" came from all directions!
Song Chi immediately dropped the spirit stones in the carriage and quickly ran away, disappearing into the shadows.
She didn't reveal herself until she reached the entrance of the Azure Sword Sect's guild hall. She made it back to her own courtyard without incident, immediately locking the door and breaking a seal.
Right now, she was afraid to see her master's face. She guessed he would be speechless again, staring blankly at the sky, and then glaring at her with heartbroken indignation.
But she's really not that kind of person, sigh!
She turned around and lay back down. She felt tired and couldn't love many things for the time being.
On the main courtyard side, Venerable Xueqiao was even more tired than her, and was so angry that his teeth itched.
Previously, when Song Chi went out, he was also invited to several banquets by respected figures.
During this time, Venerable Green Cloud of the Jade Ruins Holy Sect took out a jade mirror from his sleeve and proposed marriage to his disciple.
Upon seeing the scene in the jade mirror, Venerable Xueqiao nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. That brat! Why did she have to provoke such a gloomy and treacherous person as the Jade Ruins Holy Sect?
How could she possibly mess with a brat like Hua Shalan? She wasn't even afraid of being devoured alive by him.
Green Cloud Venerable used this as proof that a marriage proposal had come for his disciple.
Venerable Xueqiao naturally refused outright. The scene reflected in that jade mirror didn't look right at all.
Putting aside the fact that he was reluctant to part with those carefree herbs, it's quite obvious that Hua Shalan was the one who seduced Song Chi first. Both of them were blushing, so they were probably poisoned by some kind of love potion.
Even though that brat couldn't resist her lustful desires and was easily seduced, Venerable Xueqiao still felt a burning rage in his teeth.
When they returned to the guild hall, they saw the Crown Prince of Tai Xuan Immortal Dynasty walking out along the winding corridor.
At that time, all I heard were the children covering their mouths and giggling, saying things like, "Crown Prince Suyu is the one who truly loves Senior Sister Song."
They also said that Senior Sister Song has a really strong grip.
The moment the name "Senior Sister Song" was mentioned, there was no need to think further; it could only be Song Chi.
Then, following the gazes of the children, Venerable Xueqiao instantly saw the bruised handprint on Su Yu's neck clearly.
When the young man saw him, he even used some magic to cover his neck. But could that really stop his investigation?
The handprint was slender, and the finger marks were clearly identifiable. If it wasn't Song Chi's hands, which were used to playing the piano a lot, then whose small hands had slightly rounded and blunt fingers?
That brat, how could she—!
Venerable Xueqiao felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. He knew a little about Su Yu; he was a kind and generous man with outstanding talent, and at such a young age, he already had the air of a king, and his future was promising.
How could someone like that possibly be held by the throat and not fight back? Su Yu's Divine Dragon Technique was incredibly powerful, so defeating Song Chi was naturally a piece of cake for him.
Why would such a bruised handprint be left on his neck? It's probably because that brat has a... taste for it, and Su Yu spoils her too much. Who would have thought that such a promising young man would be defeated by beauty in the future?
Then they returned to the courtyard. There, the children brought out a jade mirror, and in the peach garden where pink peach blossoms were flying everywhere, two figures were playing the zither and playing against each other under the shade of the flowers.
The music was a new piece, full of tenderness and affection, as if they were whispering their innermost feelings to each other.
Upon further inquiry, it turned out that the brat had done only one thing at the Cui family's Peach Blossom Manor that day: she planted two immortal peach trees within sight of Cui Luoying's favorite study in the West Garden. And then, in a show of ceremony, she watered the peach trees with musical pieces representing the three spiritual roots of metal, water, and wood.
If those two peach trees were a rare and precious variety, that would be one thing, but they were just two ordinary peach trees. That brat had dug them up out of boredom in the secret realm.
It's probably not out of boredom, but rather intentional.
The music sung by the three spiritual roots of metal, water, and wood was also fake; the real purpose of this trip was to sing this tender and affectionate song at the end.
And it seems he has even achieved his goal of pouring out his heart. Cui Luoying is known for his icy, jade-like appearance, but this iciness likely refers not only to his looks but also to his icy heart. This is because his appearance is that of a handsome young man from a wealthy and gentle family. But now, beneath the pink peach blossoms, this slightly pale Cui Luoying, still using his spiritual power to play that tender melody, does indeed show a touching joy between his brows. It seems he has been slightly moved, no matter what.
That brat, just how many men is she going to mess with!
Venerable Xueqiao, not wanting to cause trouble, thought of dragging that brat over to teach her a lesson. But then, he parted a small section of the seal next door and took a look...
That brat lay listlessly on the couch by the window, like a tired little dog, limbs outstretched, with an expression that said she wouldn't pay any attention to anyone, staring blankly at the sky.
There was absolutely no hint of tenderness or affection between them.
This was actually what Venerable Xueqiao was most worried about... The Cui family of Yunji Holy Land was no good family, and this girl would definitely suffer if she married into that family. However, seeing that she didn't seem happy at all, Venerable Xueqiao felt that this was too heartless.
Moreover, if she didn't like it, why did she bother going to Peach Blossom Village to dig holes and plant those fairy peach trees?
She even has the nerve to complain about being tired. Does she even know what she's done?!
Now the whole city of Yaochi is buzzing with rumors that she and Cui Luoying planted immortal peaches together to pledge their love and are about to fly away together.
Venerable Xueqiao, not having thought things through, paced around the hall like a crab. He still wanted to teach this brat a lesson.
It just so happened that Shu Bai came over to discuss the return journey.
Venerable Xueqiao only left behind one sentence: "The sooner the better!"
"Then tomorrow will be an auspicious day."
"Then tomorrow!" Before that brat goes off to provoke the next one, I'd better hurry back to the Azure Sword Sect. This time, even the Carefree Grass won't work; she'll have to be locked up for decades. She can forget about leaving the sect until she reaches the Nascent Soul stage. No, she can't even leave the Cloud Sea Pine Mountain Holy Land. There's still that Crown Prince in the sect who was overjoyed after she choked him… and those few brats, Ye Qingyu, are eyeing her covetously. Sigh!
When Shu Bai received the order to handle the matter, he turned back and smiled slightly when he arrived at the door.
“Master, there’s no need to worry about Third Junior Sister. I think her trip to Peach Blossom Manor is not without purpose. She’s not that kind of person.”
After watching him leave, Venerable Xueqiao remained silent for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
This child, I didn't realize she was such a virtuous woman... Venerable Xueqiao's face twitched slightly, and he slapped his face. That brat, oh dear, she's such a headache.
Song Chi lay in the room for half a day when he suddenly heard that the sect was preparing to return to the Azure Sword Sect the next day.
She immediately sat up happily, thinking to herself that the sect understood her.
The sooner we leave this place rife with scandal, the better. However, since I'm going back tomorrow, I need to go see Song Yun first.
Song Chi quickly left and stealthily headed towards Changyun Sect. All the way, the tender, romantic melody echoed throughout the city. Rumors were flying around like wildfire; forget about them being a perfect couple, there were even stories that the Cui family was planning to propose marriage to Venerable Xueqiao of Qingjian Sect, and that Venerable Xueqiao had agreed—these kinds of nonsense were being spread everywhere.
That's outrageous.
Song Chi had expected this to happen, so his impression was so-so. He quickly arrived at Changyun Sect, and his invisibility was immediately broken upon entering.
The gatekeepers of the Changyun Sect immediately beamed and warmly invited her in. However, their cameras didn't miss a single detail, striving for a perfect 360-degree view. Many Changyun Sect disciples also came out to watch the spectacle, all smiling broadly. Some even asked her which one she liked best.
Fortunately, Song Yun heard the commotion and came to meet her. The brother and sister immediately teleported and quickly arrived at Song Yun's Shuiyun Residence.
Song Yun turned to look at her, as if he had a lot to say but didn't know where to begin. Finally, looking like a very tired older brother, he let out a heavy sigh.
"Come in and have some tea. You must be tired from planting peach trees all day."
That was quite a sore point. Song Chi realized that Song Yun disliked Cui Luoying. And it wasn't just about Cui Luoying herself, but rather a general dislike for a powerful family like the Cui family of the Yunji Holy Land.
She followed him into the house and said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry, I don't like Young Master Luo Ying."
Song Yun immediately glared at him, her expression conveying annoyance. If she didn't like him, why did she repeatedly send invitations, plant those peach trees, and play such a sentimental tune to express her feelings?
Song Chi shrugged. This was a mission, and she had no way of explaining it.
"Anyway, don't worry about this, brother. I know what I'm doing."
Song Jun glanced at her helplessly, thinking that she probably had no idea what was going on.
"Chi'er, let's not provoke these powerful families anymore," he said gently.
Speaking of this, Song Chi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Brother, you seemed to think Ye Qingyu was pretty good back in the secret realm. Just because he stole a pill furnace for you."
These words made Song Yun feel somewhat embarrassed. But when it came to all the men his sister had attracted... he felt that the one who was most devoted to her was indeed Ye Qingyu. However, the Ye family was wealthy and powerful, and he wasn't exactly a good match for her.
"Brother Ye is indeed a good man, but his family background is too good. He is not a good match for Chi'er, and I know that in my heart."
Song Chi couldn't help but smile. His brother's concern about whether their family backgrounds were a good match was actually somewhat unnecessary.
She quickly set off the restriction, took out a storage ring, which was filled with a mountain of love flowers.
"I picked this in the secret realm. I wonder if Brother can refine this love flower into pills. If he can, I reckon we can make a fortune."
Song Yun immediately looked inside the storage ring at the flower, then closed her eyes and thought for a moment before smiling and saying.
"But it is possible to refine some excellent Acacia Pills."
The brother and sister immediately exchanged a smile. The Aphrodisiac Pill has always sold well in the cultivation world, and its price is quite attractive. This time, they've truly made a fortune.
Now he wouldn't have to worry about money even if he bought a pill furnace. Thinking of the pill furnace, Song Chi quickly asked Song Yun if the pill furnace he had obtained was a top-tier pill furnace with a spirit.
Song Yun smiled and affirmed. Then she described what happened next in the secret realm.
"Later, I traveled with the disciples of the Azure Sword Sect and encountered an evil spirit array. After helping Junior Sister Xi Ya obtain a precious jade alchemy furnace, we came to the front of the Immortal Palace."
This means that Xi Ya has also obtained the alchemy furnace she wanted. Just as the plot in the book suggests, she will likely be able to refine the Immortal-grade White Jade Pill again. This group of people has a good chance of reaching the Immortal-grade Nascent Soul stage.
Moreover, when Song Yun and Su Yu came out of the Enchanted Flower Sea, they saw Song Yun standing with Xi Ya, while Dai Jia, Cheng Yao, and Wei Lingxiu stood a step away.
It's likely the two have already exchanged subtle hints. However, they don't seem particularly intimate yet, probably still at the stage of ambiguity. Song Chi decided not to press the issue.
Then Song Yun asked where the Enchanting Flower was picked, and Song Chi briefly described the scene in the Enchanting Flower Sea.
Song Yun suddenly became hesitant and stammering. "With so many love flowers, Chi'er, you two haven't been poisoned by love, have you?"
He seemed just like everyone else, worried that she would fight with the fairy Su Yu within the barrier.
Song Chi was speechless. "If I were poisoned by love, how could I have the strength to pick so many love flowers? Besides, I've already picked all these flowers, so I wouldn't be poisoned by them. As for Senior Brother Su Yu, he really did faint, and in my haste, I touched him a little too hard."
Upon hearing this, Song Yun nodded. He believed it to some extent.
But after drinking a cup of tea, he couldn't help but look out the window, as if he were talking about the weather.
"Chi'er, there are some hobbies that we shouldn't learn. Let's not follow disciples like Senior Brother Hua in the future."
Very good. Even her brother could tell that Hua Shalan was a fan of this kind of restricted-level game, and thought that she had been corrupted by Hua Shalan in the previous Immortal Soul Flower Barrier, which was why she did this to Su Yu.
After all, who wouldn't have seen the spectacle of those spiritual energy bubbles? My brother was a witness to it. This time, although Hua Shalan became the scapegoat, but…
"Brother, I really don't have that kind of hobby. It was just a misunderstanding!"
Song Chi immediately and firmly rejected the misunderstanding. Song Yun, fearing she would be angry, simply waved his hand to indicate he understood, though he probably still harbored some doubts.
However, the handprint should disappear soon, and the innocent will clear themselves, and these rumors should soon vanish without a trace.
Next, Song Chi showed Song Yun the white jade elixir herbs that she had picked for righteous Nascent Soul cultivators, indicating that she would give them to Xi Ya later.
If a Celestial-grade White Jade Pill is successfully refined, one of them must definitely be reserved for Song Jun. When the time comes, she will send a letter and have him come to the Azure Sword Sect to continue his righteous path within the sect.
Song Yun, her eyes softening with tenderness, nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, I will also discuss alchemy with Junior Sister Xi Ya."
Judging from what he said, the older brother is quite capable. Approaching someone like Xi Ya, who is almost fanatical about alchemy, through the art of alchemy is truly playing to her interests. This pair has a promising future.
After leaving Changyun Sect, Song Chi returned to the sect's guild hall and secluded herself there. During this time, she saw several invitations to go out, including one from Hua Shalan. The moment she picked it up, she hurriedly threw it far away. Cold sweat poured down her back!
Why did he ask me out?
Don't come any closer, Senior Brother Hua. Someone like you is too much for most people to handle.
She is just one of millions of ordinary people.
Meeting is impossible, absolutely impossible.
Furthermore, Song Chi believed that Hua Shalan wasn't the type to be moved by a kiss she hadn't even kissed. Such a person was more suited to seducing and seduce others; her inner coldness was probably similar to Song Chi's. Besides, his immediate priority was finding the destined dual cultivator to cure his poison and save his life; he shouldn't waste time on her.
If you just ignore him, he'll forget about her very soon.
The next morning, Song Chi boarded a flying boat with his master and quickly left Yaochi City.
Master is now showing signs of being wary of his male disciples. He requested a separate flying boat for the four of them. Previously, he would simply request a large room within the flying boat and never put on airs as a venerable one.
This time, she traveled alone in the airship. But whenever she went for a stroll on the deck, good heavens, the old man immediately swept his sleeve, sealing the entire airship. From the outside, it was impossible to see her inside at all.
Song Chi quickly realized what was going on. So, judging from his master's posture, he wasn't guarding against male disciples, but actually against her?!
It seems those rumors have caused a minor rift with her master, making him somewhat see her as a menace. But what merits does she possess? She merely scratches the itch of the spiritually impoverished cultivation world with her new songs. Song Chi doesn't believe she has truly charmed anyone.
Moreover, all those things happened to complete the mission. But she couldn't explain them. She could only let it go; it was for the best, as long as no one bothered her. Right now, she also needed to nurture and absorb the medicinal power of the Immortal Soul Grass.
It would take at least three to five months for the medicinal effects to be absorbed. Just then, the flying boat returned to the sect, and the absorption was complete.
Thus, six months later, on a rainy autumn day, the flying boat returned to the Azure Sword Sect.
As Song Chi returned to the sacred site of Yunhai Songtang through the misty rain, the mountains and waters were shrouded in a hazy mist, without a trace of dust. He felt refreshed all over, as if the dissipating rain and mist, along with a wisp of energy, were faintly hidden among the mountains and waters.
That aura, just as Ye Qingyu couldn't quite describe, should be a wisp of immortal energy generated from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This is probably the profound mystery of heaven and earth that the Heavenly Spiritual Root can perceive; it is truly indescribable.
At this moment, the power of the immortal soul herbs had been fully absorbed. Without testing his spiritual roots, Song Chi knew that they were probably all at their maximum value.
Of course, if the value isn't full, it means the mission failed, and she'll definitely be in for a rough time.
Back at Cloud Sea Pine Mountain, the previously damaged Crimson Rose Pavilion had been completely repaired. Moreover, the steward who oversaw the repairs understood her heart well; everything in the flowerbeds was neatly arranged, with each flowerbed strictly planted with the same color of spiritual flowers and herbs, making it a pleasing sight to behold.
Of course, this is just a small hobby, not a sign of severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Upon entering the room, they found that the furnishings had not changed much, and even the screen and soft couch in the main room had been replaced. Judging from the exquisite materials and elegant patterns, it was quite extraordinary and probably very expensive. They wondered if it was a generous donation from the sect or if their master had paid for it.
Or perhaps it's because the eldest disciple, this wealthy man, is squandering his money again. Song Chi suspected the latter, after all, his master preferred a comfortable and natural style.
Looking at the exquisite and elegant room, and recalling how he had kissed and groped Mo Shubai before, yet hadn't held it against her, Song Chi thought, "He's such a good person." She considered whether there would be a good opportunity to repay her senior brother.
Next, Song Chi first lay on the soft couch by the window and watched for a while as rows of roses swayed in the wind before he finally sealed off the courtyard with satisfaction.
Then she took out her zither and tried playing "Moon in the Water." Previously, the circulation of her three spiritual roots (metal, water, and wood) had been incredibly sluggish, but now, beautiful melodies flowed naturally from her fingertips like running water.
Song Chi could now freely manipulate all his spiritual roots, including metal, water, and wood. He then played about ten more pieces, effortlessly and comfortably distributing his spiritual energy in a balanced manner as he desired.
In this way, it might be possible to try and achieve the Nascent Soul stage through this path.
To be fair, while the tasks assigned to those destined individuals are often quite unreliable, and even rather absurd at times, they do have their advantages. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had such a heaven-sent opportunity to perfectly cleanse her spiritual root and reach the aptitude of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
In life, you inevitably encounter all sorts of things, good and bad. Besides, that task was choking her, leaving her no choice but to complete it.
Song Chi had fully accepted it by now and didn't have much of a rebellious attitude.
Before striving to achieve the righteous path of Nascent Soul, Song Chi planned to open the book and look at the timeline to make arrangements for what was to come.
Although she had already thoroughly memorized the book, she still carefully read through the following plot.
I had a bad feeling immediately after watching it.
In the book's timeline, thirty years later, a secret realm will erupt in the vast and remote northern ice plains. The northern ice plains are under the jurisdiction of the Xuantian Sword Sect. They are barren lands with snow and ice all year round. Because the spiritual energy is too thin, they are rarely visited by ordinary people. The Xuantian Sword Sect only sends people to patrol the ice plains once every ten years.
In this secret realm, the female protagonist obtained the Jade Snow Evil-Suppressing Bell, a key treasure for unlocking the seal of the Flying Immortal Platform.
Song Chi naturally guessed that she should also need to obtain the Jade Snow Evil-Suppressing Bell from the Yin Palace.
It seemed that there was still plenty of time, giving her thirty years to reach the Nascent Soul stage. But Song Chi didn't believe the timeline in the book at all.
Since the secret realms almost always erupt earlier than expected, they are no longer very reliable indicators.
The most crucial reference point is probably when Ye Qingyu and his group of protagonists will reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Because that secret realm erupted in the north not long after they reached the Nascent Soul stage.
In this secret realm, the most melodramatic scene in the book unfolds: the encounter between Cui Xue Ruo and Wen Yu Jiu. The two meet within the exorcism array, and this time, Cui Xue Ruo, truly bewitched by Wen Yu Jiu's dangerous gaze, briefly forgets her infatuation with Mo Shu Bai and almost throws herself into his arms. They nearly kiss.
However, she will soon be repeatedly saved by Su Yu in the face of the ferocious evil spirits, which will move her heart. Then she will encounter the Fountain of Love, where the first kiss between the male and female protagonists of this book takes place.
Song Chi flipped through the book and reviewed this part of the story, and a feeling welled up in his heart.
This time, I'm afraid that the golden scroll will cause some trouble, allowing her to get close to Wen Yujiu.
After all, Wen Yujiu was the key to this secret realm. Before entering the Immortal Palace, he did wander around the ice and snow forests in various parts of the secret realm. The book says that he was attracted by the aura of the Linglong Sect's treasure, the Flowing Cloud Fan, and lingered outside the Immortal Palace searching for it.
In the end, he only found half a broken fan, but the good thing was that he also found a kind of ethereal herb called "Fine Cloud Grass." This immortal herb also has the effect of cleansing spiritual roots. After consuming one, he cleansed his ninety-nine-fold wood and earth spiritual roots. Wen Yujiu's spiritual roots are similar to those of the male protagonist, Su Yu. He has four spiritual roots: metal, water, wood, and earth, with metal and water being heavenly spiritual roots. Although he mainly cultivates swordsmanship, he is actually very interested in the Linglong Sect's techniques and has been studying them diligently. His skill is in no way inferior to that of the Linglong Sect disciples. This can be seen from the highly artistic sword dance he performed at the banquet held by the Qingjian Sect last time.
There were only two remaining stalks of the Delicate Cloud Grass, which Wen Yujiu picked and gave to his cousin, Shi Wan'er. Yes, that's the one who traveled thousands of miles from the north, braving wind and snow to reach the Azure Sword Sect, who at the age of thirteen decided that her lifelong love was the Azure Lotus Venerable, and is now Dai Jia's senior sister.
It's impossible to say that Song Chi didn't covet the Delicate Cloud Grass. After all, Song Yun's aptitude was still far from being cleansed; his original talent was simply too poor. But now, his fire spirit root was already ninety-nine, and his other two spirit roots were also ninety, making him a veritable little genius. However, in the True Path Nascent Soul Realm, having a Heavenly Spirit Root would indeed increase the success rate. But as long as his comprehension was sufficient, there shouldn't be too many problems.
To be honest, Song Yun felt quite satisfied, and Song Chi also thought it was alright.
She was content with her own cultivation of the Ninety-Nine Herbs; if it weren't for her mission, she wouldn't have ventured into the secret realm to seek the Immortal Soul Grass. She almost got dragged down by that monster, Hua Sha Lan.
As for snatching this opportunity from Wen Yujiu's hands, she doesn't care how long she lives! This person looks extremely strong and ruthless.
Master also said that among the current batch of young disciples, the most ruthless and powerful person is Wen Yujiu.
In short, this person is extremely dangerous, and the book describes him as a pervert, suggesting that his condition is comparable to that of Hua Shalan.
Unless she goes crazy, she won't go near people like that.
Therefore, those ascended beings who still have any humanity should absolutely not let her step on this landmine!
Song Chi silently prayed for the protection of the Three Pure Ones.
But what she feared most came true; as if sensing her thoughts, Jin Juan jumped suddenly. Then the first line of text appeared.
"Seize the Jade Snow Evil-Suppressing Bell." Needless to say, it was a key item, so Song Chi didn't think much of it.
However, seeing the lines of gold text continuing to appear, she couldn't help but twitch her nose and exhale. It's here after all.
"Before entering the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, you must sneak into the Wen family's Ice and Snow Lake and pick the Silver Bell Grass that Wen Yujiu has personally cultivated for at least twenty years in his courtyard. Remember, this grass is the key token to unlock the Jade Snow Evil-Suppressing Bell and also the antidote for this level. You must put the flower's stamen into the immortal wine to drink in order to suppress the poison."
"After obtaining the Silver Bell Grass, follow Wen Yujiu in the secret realm and plant this grass next to the Fiber Cloud Grass. When the grass matures and grows at least two snow-white silver bells, the Jade Snow Evil-Suppressing Bell can then steal a wisp of immortal energy and achieve the power to suppress evil."
