The little Taoist priest is so cute. Ye Xiruo added some spiritual water to the water, hoping it would help the little Taoist priest's injuries.
"Young Taoist priest, is Daoyuan Sect far away? Can you get there before dark?"
The young Taoist priest shook his head honestly: "It took me three days to get here."
"It's okay, we can fly back."
The young Taoist's eyes brightened even more. "Really? In the entire Dao Yuan Sect, there are very few people who can fly. His master took him flying a few times when he was a child, but he's never had the chance again."
The young Taoist priest was both excited and nervous as he "flew on a sword" for the first time. He gripped Ye Xiruo's sleeve tightly, his cute baby face tense up.
"Don't be nervous. If you unfortunately fall, I will save you."
The young Taoist priest's face turned even paler. How terrifying! He was sure he would fall to his death.
Ye Xiruo activated the invisibility jade pendant, so they were able to fly at low altitudes even during the day.
Although the ancient Kunlun Mountains have long since vanished, feeling the magnificent mountain ranges below and the occasional emanation of dragon vein energy truly broadens one's mind. Ye Xiruo's mindset has also changed considerably. No matter what, the spirit of China is ingrained in her bones and soul; this land is an unbreakable bond for her. Just like her rebirth after death, and her incredible luck in being brought back through the teleportation gate this time, isn't it all influenced by these bonds?
Xiu Qiyu's speed in controlling the sword was naturally very fast. The young Taoist seemed to frequently travel in this area and was quite familiar with the terrain, so they arrived at Daoyuan Sect in half a day.
This Daoyuan Sect seems a bit different from what I imagined. It's supposed to be a main sect with a history of over a thousand years, so how could it be so shabby? At the entrance, there's only a stone with the character "Dao" faintly visible, which shows the past glory of Daoyuan Sect and also reflects its current state of decline.
The young Taoist priest was a little embarrassed: "This is Daoyuan Sect. It looks a bit dilapidated."
Please, this isn't just broken, it's really broken!
"Let's go! Let's see what's going on."
After examining the large stone, Ye Xiruo found no useful information, mainly because it was too old and all the tiny characters had been eroded away.
After walking about 500 meters, Xiu Qiyu finally discovered traces of the formation. At least the Dao Yuan Sect had left behind some legacies. However, Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo quickly realized that this dilapidated formation was merely a shell of its former self; a Golden Core cultivator could easily destroy it completely in a short time.
However, judging from the young Taoist's expression, it seemed that this formation was something extraordinary.
The moment Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo stepped into the formation, the guards from Daoyuan Sect noticed them and quickly ran out: "Who goes there?"
Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu did not destroy the formation. Instead, they looked for loopholes, grabbed the little Taoist priest, and easily passed through the formation to the interior of Daoyuan Sect.
The young Taoist priest looked at Xiu Qiyu as if he were looking at a monster; the senior's strength was indeed unfathomable.
"Senior Brother Wutian, it's me," the young Taoist called out weakly, still reeling from the shock he had just experienced.
"Junior Brother Wuwang, who are these people?" Wutian is already twenty years old this year and is at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Naturally, he can see that Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo are extraordinary.
"It's like this, I was accidentally injured while out this time, and I was fortunate enough to be rescued by these two seniors, who then brought me back. The two seniors wish to pay their respects to the sect leader and learn about some things, and they have no ill intentions."
If it were anyone else, Wutian might have given his junior brother a good talking-to. People are unpredictable these days, how could he bring someone back so casually? What if he met the wrong person and brought disaster upon the sect? But after seeing Xiu Qiyu's face and feeling the terrifying aura emanating from him, Wutian was speechless. Such a person with such a majestic and elegant appearance could not be a wicked person. His junior brother might have met a benefactor this time.
"Junior brother, how are your injuries? Are they serious?"
"Thanks to this senior, who is skilled in medicine, my injuries have been mostly healed."
Then Wutian's gaze fell on Ye Xiruo, clearly with some doubt. This senior is too young. Such a young girl, which senior's disciple is she, to have such profound medical skills?
"Thank you both for saving my life."
Five days were heartbreaking. Anyone with eyes could see how terrifying Xiu Qiyu was. Even from the seemingly harmless Ye Xiruo, he could feel a terrifying aura. Where did these two monsters come from? No, he needed to calm down. His heart couldn't take it.
"Brother Wuxin!" the young Taoist priest said anxiously.
"Distinguished guests have arrived; I am deeply sorry for not greeting you properly." An aged voice suddenly rang out.
The young Taoist priest and Wutian bowed down in unison: "Greetings, Sect Leader."
This is a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. His face is already very old. If he cannot break through within ten years, his lifespan will be nearing its end.
"Xiu Qiyu? Ye Xiruo, I have come in haste, please forgive me, Sect Leader."
"Please come in, distinguished guests."
Beneath the mountain gate of Daoyuan Sect lies a dragon vein, where the primordial energy of heaven and earth is relatively abundant, though this is only in comparison. The entire sect maintains an ancient and primitive appearance; the buildings are all traditional wooden structures, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, creating a very picturesque scene.
However, there were very few people in the sect, and Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu did not see many disciples along the way.
"The Daoist sect is declining, and it won't be long before the Daoyuan Sect disappears."
"The course of heaven and earth is beyond human control, so please rest assured, Sect Leader."
Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu arrived at the sect leader's residence, a simple and rustic little pavilion. After Wutian served tea to the three of them, he withdrew.
"May I ask what brings you two here?"
"We want to understand the history and current state of the cultivation world, as well as some unusual events?"
"Why don't you two young friends take a look at the library? If you still haven't found the answer or have any doubts, I will not hide anything from you."
"Thank you, Sect Leader. As a reward, we can repair the formation for Daoyuan Sect."
"Thank you both, young friends."
"If we really find the answer, we can promise the sect leader one thing, within our capabilities, and we will not refuse."
"I wish you both all the best in advance."
"I feel it's fate that I'm here." Ye Xiruo drank a cup of tea. It was indeed top-quality tea, and the tea-frying and brewing techniques were superb.
It seems their luck wasn't too bad; they finally have a clue.
