Chapter 25
Danxi, who was waiting at the cave entrance, suddenly felt her heart pounding wildly.
A deafening roar erupted from within the cave, like a mountain collapsing. This seemingly safe and harmless Cangming Mountain harbored hidden dangers. He couldn't help but regret bringing Jiang Liuya down to find the crystal mine.
Suddenly, the cave entrance split open, becoming wide and large. Danxi immediately rushed into the cave and hurried deeper inside.
Inside the cave, after Jiang Liuya completed the magic array, the earth shook violently, and her whole body swayed with the tremor.
Rocks rained down overhead, and gullies appeared beneath our feet, turning the once flat ground into a rugged and uneven landscape. The entire scene was instantly shrouded in dust and smoke, obscuring the road ahead.
In the chaos, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground beneath her feet, and she fell into it without warning. Debris rained down on her. Everything around her trembled, as if a powerful force was surging beneath the earth.
Amidst the barrage of rubble, Jiang Liuya dodged with all her might, channeling her spiritual power to protect her vitals.
As she continued to fall, her gaze was gradually drawn to the surrounding scenery. In the originally dim cave, more and more bright spots appeared, their light like stars in the night sky, twinkling brightly and alluringly in the darkness.
It's a crystal mine!
There really is a crystal mine!
Jiang Liuya felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.
Finally, Jiang Liuya landed on the ground.
She gently crouched down, leaning slightly forward to cushion the impact of the fall.
The rampaging energy underground gradually subsided.
At that moment, she felt a sharp pain in her left leg, probably from being hit by a falling rock during the chaos.
She frowned slightly, but quickly dismissed it. It was just a minor, insignificant injury; compared to the crystal she was about to obtain, what was a little pain?
Looking around, Jiang Liuya was surprised to find that there was an underground tunnel.
The tunnel was deep and long, and she walked deeper into it.
Looking around, all you see are top-grade crystals. These top-grade crystals emit a dazzling white light, a unique characteristic of theirs, as if the sun's radiance has been condensed into these tiny crystals.
Jiang Liuya walked slowly forward, each step feeling as if she were walking on clouds. Inlaid in the stone walls, casually fallen, and piled on the ground, everywhere she looked were top-grade crystals of various shapes and sizes. Some crystals were as large as small mountains, while smaller ones resembled dazzling stars.
She reached out and gently touched the crystals, feeling the coolness and spiritual energy emanating from their surfaces.
This is amazing! The future of the Imperial Pill Sect is secure!
Danxi, guided by the spiritual energy orb, searched her way through the deep cave.
In his anxiety, he calmed himself down and sensed the spiritual energy, using the spiritual energy ball that Jiang Liuya was using to get closer to his target.
As far as the eye could see, there was a wide crack in the ground, and the spiritual energy was pointing towards this crack.
He searched for traces of spiritual energy again and confirmed that it was here, guessing that Liu Ya must have fallen into this crack.
At this moment, an invisible and shapeless energy body quietly emerged from the crack.
This energy entity was like a ghost, hovering along an extremely strange route. Its trajectory was completely irregular, drifting unpredictably towards the cave exit.
Danxi's gaze was instantly drawn to this strange energy entity, her heart filled with astonishment. This energy was quiet and gentle, without the slightest hint of violence, as if it were just a soft wisp of mist, slowly moving in the darkness.
However, for some reason, he felt a sense of unease.
But time was of the essence, and he couldn't afford to dwell on it any longer. Liu Ya had fallen into the underground fissure; he wondered what her current situation was, and if she was injured.
Guided by the spiritual energy, he leaped into the crevice without hesitation.
Jiang Liuya was intoxicated by the overwhelming array of crystals; their dazzling light mesmerized her. She lay down on the crystal-paved ground, savoring the wonderful feeling of suddenly becoming rich.
For a long time, the Imperial Pill Sect has struggled due to a lack of resources. With these crystals, the Imperial Pill Sect now possesses an immeasurable future.
When Danxi found Jiang Liuya in the underground tunnel, she was lying on the ground. He immediately rushed to her side in great anxiety.
"How are you?" His eyes were full of concern, and his voice was anxious.
Jiang Liuya raised her head slightly and saw Danxi, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
I was about to say it was nothing, but then I thought, why not tease him a little?
She then feigned pain, frowned, and said plaintively, "My leg is injured, it hurts a lot."
Danxi examined the wound; a large bruise was prominently displayed on her fair leg. He gathered wood spirit energy at his fingertips and channeled it into the injury to heal her. The wood spirit contained a rich vitality, which was very effective in healing; the pain quickly subsided.
But he still gently squatted down and carefully carried Jiang Liuya on his back. Jiang Liuya rested her head on his shoulder, feeling his strong back and warm body temperature, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
Danxi carried Jiang Liuya on her back, the two of them nestled together, strolling through this dreamlike underground world. All around, scattered crystals emitted a dazzling light, like a vast galaxy cascading down.
A strange, indescribable feeling welled up inside Jiang Liuya. Rewinding to a few months ago, when she first found him, he was injured and unconscious, and she had carried him on her back like this. At the time, she only thought he was mysterious and strange; who could have imagined that just a few months later, they would be so close?
"Brother Qingyi, if one day your memory returns, will you forget me, forget the time we spent together?" At this romantic moment, Jiang Liuya asked inappropriately, her voice tinged with a hint of worry.
It was precisely because their time together had been so wonderful that she was so reluctant to lose him. His identity was unknown, his origins unclear, though she didn't care about such things. In her heart, the man in green was someone she could completely trust, someone with whom she shared a deep understanding.
However, this seemingly perfect relationship left her with a vague sense of unease.
Her brother in blue suddenly appeared on the back mountain, barging into her peaceful life without warning. Would he one day also suddenly disappear, just as suddenly as he appeared?
What frightens her even more is that if his memory returns and he recalls the temporarily forgotten past, discovering that there are more important people to protect and more important things to do in his life, will he abandon his relationship with her without hesitation?
Jiang Liuya's gaze was uneasy, and she tightly hugged Danxi's neck with both hands.
"Of course not." Danxi sensed her tension and unease and answered without hesitation, her voice firm.
After a moment, he said with utmost solemnity, "You are the person I want to spend my life with."
These words, like a vow, echoed in this star-studded underground world, each one striking heavily against Jiang Liuya's heart.
In the quiet underground space, only the sounds of their heartbeats and breathing could be heard.
