Chapter 601 Beast Master
The ball of white light in the spring water suddenly became brighter, and then slowly converged. The ball of light became smaller and smaller, but also brighter and brighter.
There was a strong spiritual energy gathered in the range of the white light. The little bit of light that overflowed from it had already caused the surrounding grass and trees to grow quietly, and some spiritual plants even produced flower buds from nothing.
"Senior, you should know how to take this thing out, right?" Ji Yu pursed his lips slightly and turned to look at Xiao Changheng.
Her grandfather had only told her to take good care of the seed and wait for its owner to come and pick it up, but he didn't give any details, so she assumed she should just wait for the owner to come and pick it up.
When he turned around, he saw Xiao Changheng's face was slightly solemn. He raised his hand to support his forehead, and his body suddenly swayed.
"The time is up, please... keep it a secret for me..." The man left a sentence that no one knew whether he had finished or not, and his eyes lost focus.
Ji Yu's beautiful double pupils showed a bit of surprise and confusion, and she didn't know what was going on.
What does it mean when the time is up? What should be kept secret?
She saw Xiao Changheng's body shaking a little, and was wondering if he was about to fall and whether she needed help. She saw that his eyes lost focus for a moment, then he stood firm again and his eyes regained focus.
Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask for clarification, but she saw Xiao Changheng pulling back with a look of vigilance. He quickly glanced around and finally returned his gaze to her. He frowned and spoke in a deep voice:
"Who are you? Are you the one who brought me here?"
JIU Yu: "..."
Okay, now I understand what he meant when he said "time's up".
Ji Yu met the other party's vigilant gaze, thought for a moment, turned his head to look at the spring water, and saw that the ball of white light had shrunk into a tiny dot, and the light was gradually disappearing.
She pointed there and said:
"I didn't bring you here, you were summoned by it."
Xiao Changheng turned his head to look at the light that was about to disappear in the spring. His expression changed slightly and his face softened a little.
Although it was only a faint feeling, he did sense that whatever was in the spring water had a mysterious connection with him.
And for some reason, even though it was the first time he saw this strange-looking woman, he was sure that she would not harm him.
The light in the spring water completely disappeared, and through the clear water surface, you can see something lying quietly at the bottom of the spring.
Ji Yu raised his finger and pointed at the spring water. He tentatively hooked it with his fingertips, and the thing in the water slowly rose up, then left the water surface and floated towards Xiao Changheng.
Xiao Changheng subconsciously reached out and took it in his palm, finally seeing the true appearance of this thing.
It is like a bead the size of a fingernail, with a jade-like texture, a cold white color, and a warm, cool and delicate touch.
Xiao Changheng was slightly stunned. He lifted his sleeves slightly and took a look at Haoqing. He always felt that the texture of this thing was somewhat similar to Haoqing, but not exactly the same.
"...What is this?" he asked.
"seed."
Xiao Changheng raised his eyebrows, obviously not expecting such an answer, and lowered his eyes to look at his palm for a moment.
The thing in his hand was not the same as the seed he knew.
"What kind of seeds are they?"
"...I don't know." Ji Yu said honestly, "I was just entrusted by my grandfather to look after it so that I could give it to the right person at the right time."
"..." Xiao Changheng looked at the crystal clear white beads in his hand and fell into silence.
He had to admit that this thing did have a connection with him, but how did the woman in front of him determine that she was its owner?
Thinking this, he asked.
Ji Yu's expression was somewhat complicated:
"Because before you came here, the spring was a hundred feet in radius, and no one else could get close to it."
Xiao Changheng was slightly stunned.
"It wasn't a barrier set by anyone, but rather a restriction placed on the seed itself," Ji Yu explained. "And when you appeared in the Valley of Exotic Beasts, it immediately lifted the restriction and summoned you. This proves that the master it has been waiting for is you."
As Ji Yu was carefully explaining, she thought to herself that it was really not easy for her. She didn't want to tell a lie, but she couldn't reveal the secret that person asked her to keep.
What she said was true. The seed did summon its owner, but this person had no memory of how he came here.
As for the ban, it was also true. Before this, she had wanted to see what the seed that the Chongming clan had guarded for thousands of years looked like, but let alone touching it, even getting close to it was difficult.
So when she took it out so easily just now, although she didn't show it on her face, she was very surprised in her heart.
But she also immediately realized that the reason the seed allowed her to take it out with her magic power was that it sensed her desire to return the item to its original owner, otherwise it would still be impossible to succeed.
Ji Yu looked at the man in front of him, his heart full of doubts.
More than two thousand years ago, the reason why my grandfather exhausted his essence to help Liu Jun build the barrier was actually to protect this seed. Protecting the spiritual energy of the Strange Beast Valley from depletion was secondary.
Who is the owner of this thing that would make my grandfather go to such lengths?
And his current condition is obviously that part of his consciousness with previous memories has fallen into a deep sleep. Why is this?
Ji Yu was not a curious person, but this matter was really unusual, so she couldn't help but ask.
But she remembered that the man's last words were to keep it confidential. She was not sure about the scope of this confidentiality, and it might include him who had no memory of that period.
My grandfather once set a rule that if the owner of the seeds appears one day, the Chongming Bird clan should do their best to cooperate with any request as long as it does not conflict with the interests of the beast owner.
The legendary beast master has never appeared yet. Since the man asked her to keep it a secret before he fell asleep, she just had to cooperate.
Ji Yu had a thousand thoughts in his mind, while Xiao Changheng looked at the bead in his hand for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was used for.
The so-called seeds, do you mean to plant them?
But I'm afraid this thing can't be grown with ordinary soil, right? What should I do?
He was about to ask when his ears suddenly moved slightly and a sound of breaking air came from the distance. He immediately turned his head and looked into the distance. The sound was originally very weak, but it was approaching almost instantly. He also saw the girl flying towards him at an incredible speed on a sword.
Ji Yu also noticed the movement and looked up into the air. The pupils in his double eyes suddenly shrank slightly.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Qingqing was already in front of him.
When she was dozens of feet away from Xiao Changheng, she jumped down, holding the Dawn in her hand, landed beside Xiao Changheng, pulled him behind her, raised the sword across Ji Yu's neck, and looked at him coldly.
"Who are you? You brought him here? What's your purpose?!"
Ji Yu had been staring at her blankly until she was awakened by the shout. She suddenly knelt down and bowed deeply.
"Master Beastmaster! I've finally got you!"
Yun Qingqing, who rushed over in a hurry to stand up for someone, asked: "......?"
