"Go back, and pretend I didn't see you!" Zhou Xingchen said expressionlessly and in an icy tone.
"Young Sect Master, please let me come along! You might need me!" Qin Feiyu stepped forward urgently, his voice becoming somewhat shrill with urgency.
Zhou Xingchen suddenly covered Qin Feiyu's mouth and said angrily, "Shut up if you don't want to be found out!"
After saying that, he nervously observed the disciples stationed not far away and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that they had not changed anything unusual.
At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, with only the howling wind still raging in our ears.
Qin Feiyu wasn't annoyed that someone had covered his mouth. His clear, doe-like eyes kept darting around until Zhou Xingchen released his hand. Only then did he speak with great interest: "Young Sect Master, you've agreed to let me follow you!"
"Shut up!" Zhou Xingchen snapped irritably.
"Young Sect Master, those people are guarding that place. Maybe that's the passage to Ancient Blue Star!" Qin Feiyu said excitedly, completely ignoring Zhou Xingchen's reprimand.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingchen pondered. The disciples stationed there were not very powerful and were considering whether or not to give it a shot.
Just then, Qin Feiyu charged forward with his sword and engaged in combat with the stationed disciples.
He moved with agility, his sword flashing, like a fierce little lion. The garrisoned disciples, not to be outdone, unleashed their best skills to meet him, creating a chaotic scene of clashing swords and billowing dust. Zhou Xingchen gritted his teeth and joined the fray. His movements were lightning-fast, his attacks swift and deadly. In moments, all the garrisoned disciples had fallen.
"Young Sect Master, these people aren't even good enough for me to practice on!" Qin Feiyu said smugly, raising his chin and beaming with pride.
His hair was disheveled, but his face was beaming with the joy of victory. His clothes were slightly torn from the fight, but that did not diminish his arrogance at all.
Zhou Xingchen ignored the smug Qin Feiyu and walked towards a cave with a sullen face. The cave was dark and deep, exuding an old and decaying smell.
As he walked deeper into the cave, he discovered a seal that shimmered with a ghostly blue light.
Just as Zhou Xingchen was frowning and racking his brains for a solution, Qin Feiyu came over.
Qin Feiyu stared intently at the seal, lost in thought. A moment later, he excitedly exclaimed, "Young Sect Master, let me give it a try!"
Qin Feiyu carefully manipulated his spiritual power, channeling it into the seal. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his expression focused and tense. Finally, through his efforts, the seal's light began to gradually weaken, eventually disappearing without a trace.
As Zhou Xingchen watched the seal being broken, he couldn't help but ponder to himself:
This kid usually acts carefree and irresponsible, but I never expected him to be so talented in formations.
I underestimated him before. I thought he was just acting recklessly within the sect because he was Elder Qin's son, but I didn't expect him to come in so handy at this crucial moment. I wonder where he learned such skills. It seems I'll have to look at him with new respect from now on.
Thinking of this, a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the cave eased slightly, and faint light shone through the cave entrance, illuminating the figures of the two.
After entering the cave, the two found a screen of light on which a rather strange bee was flapping its wings.
The bee was dressed in red, and its wings flapped very slowly, yet with a strange rhythm.
Why is there no spiritual energy fluctuation at all? Could it be that the cultivation level has far surpassed their own? The two drew their swords and went on guard at the same time.
Zhou Xingchen's gaze was fixed on the strange bee, his hand gripping the sword trembling slightly with tension. Qin Feiyu bit his lip, his eyes filled with vigilance, his heartbeat exceptionally clear in the silent cave.
"Welcome to the Surface Mall! I'm Huazai, and I'm here to serve you!"
A clear voice suddenly rang out, echoing in the cave, startling Zhou Xingchen and Qin Feiyu.
Sensing no danger, the two gradually lowered their guard and only then discovered that the screen in front of them indeed displayed the six large characters "Dimensional Trading Mall".
Qin Feiyu strode over and greeted the bee: "Hua Zai, what is the Dimensional Mall?"
His face was full of curiosity, his eyes wide open, brimming with a desire to explore.
Zhou Xingchen followed closely behind, his eyes still scanning the surroundings warily in case of any unexpected situations.
"Customers can use points to buy the goods they want in the interdimensional trading mall. Our mall currently has four major sections: food, entertainment, natural treasures, and daily life."
Hua Zai's voice reached their ears clearly. It flapped its wings, introducing the mall's existing merchandise to them.
Qin Feiyu's eyes lit up as he looked at the wide variety of packaged items, and he asked excitedly, "How do I earn points?"
Zhou Xingchen frowned slightly, pondering the origin and credibility of the online store.
"Guests can exchange spirit stones, cultivation techniques, elixirs, rare and precious materials, and various other treasures for points! Would you like to exchange them?"
Andy Lau's voice rang out again, carrying a hint of seduction.
Qin Feiyu eagerly replied, "Yes, yes, yes!"
He was so excited that he danced around, as if he could already see countless treasures beckoning to him.
Zhou Xingchen stopped him abruptly and said in a deep voice, "Don't rush, let's find out the rules first."
He stared sharply at Andy Lau, his expression serious and cautious.
Zhou Xingchen took out a top-grade spirit stone from his storage bag and placed it on the device platform that Hua Zai had indicated. Then the screen flashed.
"Guest, you can exchange one top-grade spirit stone for 100 points. Would you like to exchange?"
"yes"
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
With a determined look in his eyes, Zhou Xingchen continued to take out top-grade spirit stones from his storage bag without hesitation, exchanging them for a total of 1,000 points.
He then decisively selected three Longevity Fruits from the Treasure Trove section of the shop, spending a total of 999 points.
With trembling hands, he clicked to confirm the order, then stared at the screen for a moment, his heart pounding in his chest, his breathing becoming rapid with tension. He silently prayed that this interdimensional shop was real.
He never expected to have such a wonderful encounter after arriving in this southern wilderness. If he could really obtain this longevity, he might actually find hope of increasing his father's lifespan.
"Young Sect Master, how about I take a look first? I'd like to buy some too!" Qin Feiyu said anxiously, stamping his feet back and forth, his eyes fixed on the screen.
"No rush, let's wait!" Zhou Xingchen frowned, his eyes fixed on the screen that displayed "Wait a moment," and said in a serious tone.
His heart was pounding harder and harder, and beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead. He had no mind to pay attention to Qin Feiyu.
