Chapter 6 The White Moonlight Kills the Male and Female Protagonists (6)
At this moment, Jingye Lianxin and Xinyi also noticed the surging spiritual energy in front of them.
They all shouted excitedly.
"What a vast expanse of spiritual grass! Senior Sister, your spiritual veins can be saved!"
No one had ever seen the Spirit-Nourishing Herb grow so lushly before, and they were all overjoyed, pushing forward with even greater effort.
Jin Shu was no match for those with spiritual power, so she couldn't outrun them. Seeing that Meng Ling was almost at the cave entrance, she suddenly turned sideways and ran to the side.
Just then, a terrified scream came from the cave entrance.
It was posted by Meng Ling.
Jin Shu knew what had happened over there without even turning around.
How could the ferocious beast guarding the spiritual herbs allow intruders to approach the cave entrance so easily?
In her dream, she stumbled upon this patch of spiritual herbs, and despite her utmost caution, she still managed to startle the ferocious beast.
She had a treasure protecting her at the time, but even so, she still lost an arm and barely escaped death to enter the cave.
The thought that the spiritual herb she had risked her life for was ultimately given to the Queen Mother of the West by her master on his own initiative, all to make up for Meng Ling's mistake, made Jin Shu hide in the shadows with a cold face. When she looked back, her three fellow disciples were already fighting with the ferocious beast to save Meng Ling.
The three of them tightly protected Meng Ling in the middle, completely unaware that Jin Shu, who had no spiritual power and needed the most protection, had disappeared.
In the past, Jin Shu might have been saddened for a while, but now she felt no emotion and moved slowly along the wall to the cave entrance.
With a "click".
The mechanism was activated, and the large door at the entrance slowly closed before their eyes.
Jin Shu could vaguely hear a short shout coming from the still night.
"Junior sister! Hold the cave entrance shut!"
Jin Shu watched the cave door close without expression.
They also used a talisman to reinforce the cave entrance.
The ferocious beast outside is definitely no match for the four of them.
Soon, accompanied by a scream and a bloodcurdling sound, the ferocious beast fell silent.
Jin Shu stood inside, looking at the patch of spiritual herbs radiating rich spiritual energy, her chest heaving violently.
This time, she arrived here unharmed.
She remembered clearly that there were 413 plants of spiritual herbs in front of her.
Because during the time she was waiting for these spiritual herbs to mature, she endured the excruciating pain from her severed arm, falling into a coma and waking up three times before the herbs finally ripened.
She had no time to care about what was happening outside.
Now, Jin Shu is only thinking about guarding this spiritual herb carefully, waiting for it to mature so that she can harvest and refine it immediately.
Just as she sat down cross-legged, several shouts came from outside the door.
"Junior sister! Junior sister, check inside for any mechanisms and open the door!"
"Senior sister, this is Lianxin. The ferocious beast is dead. Please open the door."
"Senior sister! Junior sister is injured! Open the door!"
There was no response from inside the cave.
Jin Shu sneered, remaining unmoved.
What does her junior sister's injury have to do with her? If she hadn't been rushing forward, how could she have faced the ferocious beast head-on and been struck in the heart meridian?
After waiting for a while, seeing that Jin Shu inside had no reaction, and then seeing her junior sister Meng Ling lying in her arms with a pale face and barely breathing, Jing Ye became anxious and kicked the door harder.
"Junior Sister! Did you hear me? Open the door! There are so many spiritual herbs, spare some for Junior Sister to heal her injuries!"
Jingye's tone was filled with anxiety.
Lianxin, standing beside her, also looked on with worry.
"Could it be that Senior Sister didn't hear it?"
Xin Yi stood up abruptly, his face tense.
"Never mind, let's just destroy this door!"
In this critical moment, he couldn't care less about sentimentality with his fellow disciples.
"Human life is of paramount importance. If I, as a senior brother, cannot even protect my junior sister, how can I have the face to continue cultivating in Kunlun Mountain!"
After saying that, Xin Yi drew his sword, gathered up his spiritual power, and slashed fiercely at the cave entrance in front of him.
A flash of lightning streaked across the cave entrance, but all that remained was a sword mark.
"Me too!"
Lianxin followed suit, using her natal magic weapon to attack the cave entrance.
Jingye held Mengling in her arms, helplessly trying to persuade Jin Shu.
“Junior sister, Meng Ling risked leaving the mountain for your sake this time. Even if we disregard our camaraderie, please open the door for her sake. We will help you rebuild your meridians. You only need to give a few spiritual herbs to save your junior sister’s life.”
Jin Shu stayed inside, listening to the crashing and banging outside. Jing Ye's advice was nothing but a fart to her.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
Exhausted, Xin Yi threw down his sword and sat on the ground, panting heavily.
"No, the cave entrance is too sturdy; it can't be opened with ordinary force."
After all, if this cave entrance can keep out ferocious beasts, it must be extraordinary.
In the still of the night, I held my breath.
"Lianxin, go up the mountain and report to your master, and ask him to come and persuade him."
"Junior Sister shouldn't move right now. My third junior brother and I will stay here and wait for you to return."
Lianxin glanced at the cave entrance and said worriedly.
"Even if the cave door opens, and all the Ruoling Grass has been picked and refined by Senior Sister, it's still useless."
"It's alright, I just saw it. Those spiritual herbs are not yet mature and will need at least another half month."
"You'll only need two days for a round trip, there won't be any problems."
Lianxin felt relieved and turned to leave.
Jin Shu, inside the cave, heard these words clearly.
Jingye is right, these spirit-gathering herbs are not yet mature, and it will take at least half a month.
This door can stop the three of them, but it may not be able to stop their master.
Jin Shu was a little anxious. She had no illusions about those people. If they broke in, most of these spiritual herbs would be used on Meng Ling.
Just then, Jingye's voice came from outside the door.
“Junior sister, it’s alright to be greedy for a moment. If you open the door now, we will still speak up for you in front of Master.”
I promise, if you save Junior Sister, all the remaining immortal herbs are yours!
Bullshit!
Even Jin Shu, a naturally proud and elegant fairy, couldn't help but curse.
She paid no attention to it.
Looking at the magical herb in front of her, she was reluctant to pick it now, as that would greatly reduce its spiritual power.
It finally became quiet outside the cave.
Even in the still of the night, she said she was tired.
Xin Yi was exhausted from cutting.
Jin Shu, who had lost her spiritual power, was even more exhausted and leaned against the wall, squinting her eyes to rest.
Current time: 00:00.
Is the 48-hour system activated?
If the host does not respond, the default start time is 00:00.
Drip, drip, drip...
The system successfully started after 48 hours.
Jin Shu woke up and suddenly opened her eyes to look around.
There was no movement outside the door; the surroundings were deathly silent.
She quickly looked at the spiritual herb in front of her; the tip, which had previously emitted a faint blue light, was now faintly glowing red.
This symbolizes the slow maturation of the medicinal herb.
By that calculation, almost twelve hours should have passed.
She slept for a whole day!
Isn't Immortal Venerable Canglan arriving soon?!
Jin Shu pressed her ear against the cave entrance, listening intently to the sounds outside.
There was no sound outside; it was as if no one was there.
