Chapter 16: It's reasonable to take advantage of the benefits
The eldest brother flew away in his flying boat.
Ye Xiaoman watched reluctantly as the stern of the ship disappeared into the clouds.
For the next thousand miles, she could only rent a spirit horse to travel.
It's like leaving a Ferrari sports car and riding a shared motorcycle. You can imagine the difference.
Xiao Chujing met Ye Xiaoman's eager eyes and suddenly said, "Junior Sister, I will also drive a flying boat in the future."
Nonsense, you are the hero, and your flying device will be ten thousand times more luxurious than this in the future.
The coolest one in the world.
Ye Xiaoman licked the dog expertly: "Senior Brother Xiao is so amazing, the future is promising."
Xiao Chujing was flattered and felt very comfortable. When renting the spirit horse, he also helped pay Ye Xiaoman's share of the money.
It is the season of spring flowers blooming.
The city is prosperous, the willow breeze is not cold on the face, and the feeling of riding a horse on the official road is very pleasant.
It was Ye Xiaoman's first time riding a horse. In order to take care of her, Xiao Chujing rode side by side with her and helped her hold the reins with one hand.
Being in the prime of her youth, Ye Xiaoman's face flushed with joy. Xiao Chujing was infected by her good mood and couldn't help but smile.
He discussed the itinerary with Ye Xiaoman.
"In two days, we will arrive at Simao City. We will first purchase the Xifeng Spiritual Soil. After completing your mission, we will go to Qingsonggang outside the city."
"There's a troublesome spirit tiger beast there. Killing it is my mission this time."
"The missions are easy and can be completed within a day. Next, we will go sightseeing and gather in Yongzhou City before the 25th."
Ye Xiaoman had no objection, "It's all up to Senior Brother to arrange."
Two days later, Simao City.
As soon as Ye Xiaoman entered the city, she immediately felt something was wrong. "There are so many people."
The monk content exceeds the standard.
Along the way, I saw many monks, but not as exaggerated as here.
The streets were crowded with monks carrying various magical instruments, and the inns in the city were full of foreign monks.
The flying boats and flying magic tools in the sky were so close together that Ye Xiaoman's claustrophobia started to set in.
Xiao Chujing had been traveling independently for more than two years. Seeing this, he knew that something unusual had happened in the city.
He came to a tea stall and bought two bowls of tea with two cents. Taking the opportunity of drinking tea, he started chatting with the shopkeeper.
He had a bright smile and was very approachable because he had been living among the people since he was a child. The shopkeeper told him everything he knew.
"Seven days ago, an island suddenly emerged from the water near the river."
"I heard that the island was the residence of some powerful being thousands of years ago, and it was originally hidden in the water."
"After the great master passed away, the protective formation on the island was left unattended and lost its effectiveness, which is why the island was able to see the light of day again."
"I heard there are a lot of good things on that island, such as thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, precious magic weapons, and peerless inheritances. Cultivators from all directions heard the news and rushed here."
When Ye Xiaoman heard this, she and Xiao Chujing looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Occasionally, some ancient secret places would appear on this continent.
This is the opportunity for cultivators, which can only be encountered by chance.
Some cultivators have been reborn because of the inheritance in the secret realm, and have risen from obscurity to become powerful beings in the world.
Even if you can't get the unparalleled inheritance, it would be great to go in and search for some free resources.
They ran into each other today, which was a blessing in disguise. They were really lucky.
"But..." Seeing that he had laid the groundwork for them, the shopkeeper cleared his throat triumphantly and gave them a twist.
"I heard that secret realm is extremely dangerous."
The shopkeeper spoke in a deliberately sinister tone, "Seven days ago, when the island first appeared, the immortals from the Qixia Sect happened to be in the area and immediately rushed over."
"A group of more than twenty people rushed over in a flash."
"Guess what happened?"
Ye Xiaoman even forgot to drink her tea. "What's wrong?"
The shopkeeper slapped his thigh and said, "In one night, almost everyone died. Only one disciple escaped and returned to the sect to report the news."
"These past few days, cultivators from all over the place have been pouring in, including figures like ancestors and great elders. They're all in, but no one's leaving!"
"In the end, it was the Qixia Sect's Immortal Master who made the decision. To avoid further casualties, they temporarily sealed off the most dangerous part of the island."
Ye Xiaoman and Xiao Chujing drank tea silently, each lost in thought.
Xiao Chujing was naturally considering the danger of the secret realm and was hesitating whether to go on the adventure.
Ye Xiaoman was recalling the plot of the original novel.
Why did she always feel that the place name "Si Mao" sound familiar? It turned out to be the secret place of Simao.
The hero's first opportunity.
The book says that before Xiao Chujing became Xiao Aotian, he was just an ordinary human being with ordinary spiritual roots.
The conflicting human-demon bloodlines in his body also greatly slowed down his cultivation progress.
However, after he entered the Simao Secret Realm, his life began to change.
He received the inheritance from the Supreme God. After a period of cutting tendons and cleansing marrow, his spiritual roots were directly upgraded from human spiritual roots to heavenly spiritual roots. The human-demon hybrid in his body was also forged by him into a heaven-defying dual bloodline system.
Xiao Chujing put down the tea bowl and said, "Junior Sister, let's go take a look."
Ye Xiaoman was not surprised by his decision.
Seeking wealth and honor through risk is the characteristic of a male protagonist.
Ye Xiaoman smiled slightly, "Let's go then."
The male protagonist follows the plot, and it is reasonable for her to be cannon fodder and get some treasures.
There is no need to ask for directions. Just follow the monks in the city and when you reach the pier, you will see the Simao Secret Realm.
The river is majestic, the sun sets over the long river, thousands of boats are racing, and the water surface is jumping with dazzling scales.
A huge island, like a ghost, floats on the water.
There are primeval forests on the island, with rolling hills and misty fog, and the dilapidated eaves of ancient buildings can be vaguely seen.
People standing by the river and looking up feel as small as ants, and easily develop a sense of fear towards the ancient mysterious things.
All the monks felt a surge of vigorous energy - there must be something good hidden on this island.
And murderous intent.
As someone at the bottom of the food chain in the world of immortal cultivation, Ye Xiaoman couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the horrifying rumors that this island had swallowed up hundreds of cultivators.
There were strong gusts of wind around me.
The monks who were flying swords and magical instruments passed by her and flew to the island.
Xiao Chujing took out the magic sword.
Flying with a sword is a skill that only those at the third level of Qi Refining can possess, and Ye Xiaoman doesn't know how to fly yet.
Xiao Chujing helped her onto his sword and asked her to hold on to his arm to maintain her balance. Then he mobilized his magic power, and she screamed, and the sword soared into the air.
Ye Xiaoman was almost paralyzed by the strong wind on the river.
After flying for nearly 10 minutes, they landed on the island while feeling carsick.
Ye Xiaoman felt like she was in a big forest, with thick leaves under her feet and vines as thick as her arms entwined around broken stones, like the remains of some magic circle.
The atmosphere is not gloomy.
Because he is surrounded by adventurous monks.
The sounds of talking and rummaging around came one after another.
Ye Xiaoman let out a long sigh, and her first adventure in the world of immortal cultivation began.
