The system went to great lengths to convince Ye Xiruo.
The Heart of the Spirit Stone is indeed a good thing and worth investing in. Ye Xiruo took out a bottle of spirit water from her space, opened the bottle, and waited for the fish to take the bait.
Not long after, a small white ball rushed over and sucked up all the spiritual water. Before Ye Xiruo could react, it turned into a white lightning bolt and disappeared.
"What's going on?"
"Master, I forgot to mention earlier that this Spirit Stone Heart is sentient. It's probably because it's been developing for a long time, so it's become quite cunning. Master, you must be very patient."
"I understand. It's too fast to catch."
"So, you just need to take a big bottle and throw it into your spatial storage when it's drinking the spiritual water, isn't that enough?"
The system described it lightly, but the difficulty in practice was extraordinary. What if Ye Xiruo couldn't even see what it looked like? The two bottles of spiritual water were already gone.
Ye Xiruo gritted her teeth, took out a top-grade spirit stone, placed it in her palm, and opened a space the instant the white ball of fur lay on the spirit stone, throwing the white fur ball and the spirit stone inside.
She wasn't worried at all that the little white dumpling would cause trouble in the space. The Seven-Colored Divine Spring belonged to the Seven-Colored Sacred Lotus, and if the little thing wanted to cause trouble, the Seven-Colored Sacred Lotus would probably take action.
"System, quickly collect the spirit vein." Although this spirit vein is small, it is a mid-grade spirit vein, and most of the spirit stones inside are mid-grade spirit stones. Near the core of the spirit stones, there are also about a hundred high-grade spirit stones.
If Ye Xiruo were to bury the spiritual vein in the space and set up a spirit-gathering array, his cultivation would likely be twice as effective.
As for the Heart of the Spirit Stone, bury it, bury it in the pile of spirit stones and let it do its job well.
She didn't know what had happened to Elder Lianqing and the others. In fact, she had to thank Elder Liansi for pushing her down; otherwise, how could she have gained so much?
Holding the water-repelling pearl, Ye Xiruo floated in the icy river and activated a protective gear left to her by her master. Whenever it sensed any danger, it would raise a protective shield to protect her safety.
The fire essence continuously released warm true energy, preventing her from freezing.
In the glacier, within a transparent bubble, a woman of breathtaking beauty floats with her eyes closed, rising and falling with the current. Her long, jet-black hair hangs down serenely, like a mermaid from legend.
Ye Xiruo's consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. The faces of Shu Yi, Feng Yi, Xiu Qiyu, Zishu, and Jingli from her past and present lives kept floating in her mind. She didn't know if she was still alive.
She actually saw her parents and grandparents. If this was just a dream, she hoped she would never wake up. In the dream, their smiles were warm and bright, not the gray and cold smiles of her memories.
She floated in the icy river, her consciousness surging and shifting between her past and present lives, her life force growing weaker and weaker.
Xiu Qiyu, who was practicing her martial arts, suddenly squatted down, looking pained.
Zishu waved his fan: "So you're admitting defeat?"
"Oh no, something's happened to Xiao Yezi."
Zishu's fan fell to the ground with a thud: "What did you say? Did I hear you wrong?"
"You heard me right, something really happened to Xiao Yezi. Her aura is getting weaker and weaker. The problem must be in her sea of consciousness."
Zishu felt utterly disheartened. It was truly a case of something going wrong in the most unlikely place. How could his perfectly healthy sea of consciousness suddenly malfunction?
"Isn't Junior Sister on Mount Saintess right now?"
"That's what I'm worried about."
Xiu Qiyu took a few pills and assumed a cultivation posture, but focused all her attention on the connection between the two of them.
"Little Leaf, wake up quickly."
"Little Yezi, I am Xiu Qiyu."
"You are Ye Xiruo. Have you forgotten your master, your senior brother, and me?"
Xiu Qiyu tried to bring Ye Xiruo back to consciousness: "Little Yezi, I'm waiting for you."
Who could it be, with that familiar voice and that sorrow? Who was calling her name? Ye Xiruo's mind was still a blur; she was still watching TV with her mother.
Xiao Yezi still didn't respond at all, but fortunately the situation didn't worsen, which was the best possible outcome.
Xiu Qiyu continued to call out to Ye Xiruo: "Little Ye, have you forgotten that you are going to become a great divine master? Do you want to stand shoulder to shoulder with me?"
"Little Leaf, wake up! I'll always be waiting for you."
The familiar voice kept echoing in Ye Xiruo's mind. It was Brother Xiu Qi's voice. Where was Brother Xiu Qi? Why wasn't he by her side? Ye Xiruo's heart panicked. In a moment of confusion, the scene before her eyes turned black and white, and then shattered into countless pieces like a mirror.
If Ye Xi stood there and wept bitterly, if even what she saw with her own eyes was false, then what was real?
Mom and Dad are gone, and Brother Xiu Qi isn't by my side either. It's so cold! It's so cold! Even with the Fire Essence, it can't withstand the chill of the icy river. What's more, after being attacked by the phantom beast, Ye Xiruo fell into a dream and completely forgot to channel her true energy into the Fire Essence.
Now that the illusion has finally broken, her situation is even more dangerous. She has been floating in the icy river for a day, and her whole body is starting to stiffen, as if her blood is about to freeze.
"Brother Xiu Qi, I'm sorry."
"system."
There was no response. It's estimated that the system was already at its limit in saving her life from the phantom beast's mouth, and she might already be asleep by now.
Outside the glacier, on an exquisitely carved throne made of ice and jade, sat a saintess in a simple white robe, with dozens of disciples and elders of Saintess Peak behind her.
"Seal off the Glacier Valley. No one is allowed to enter, and everyone inside must be expelled." The saintess's voice was ethereal, as if it came from the clouds, yet it reached the ears of everyone precisely.
"Yes, Saintess." The disciples of Saintess Peak bloomed like white flowers in the snow.
"Greetings, Holy Maiden." Lianchi, Lianqing, and Sushaxuan all knelt down at the same time.
"Do you know you are wrong?"
"I admit my mistake."
"When we get back, I will settle this score with you properly." The saintess stepped down from the throne and was gone in the blink of an eye.
Glacier Valley is far from Saintess Peak, but the Saintess rushed over with her elders and disciples as soon as she received the news. She already knew what had happened along the way, so as soon as she arrived, she went straight to the Glacier Valley.
Since she fell into the icy river, it's highly likely she's still there, having lost the instinct to climb out. The saintess moved through the icy river as if on flat ground; the water couldn't get any closer, let alone hinder her progress.
