Elder Huangfu had a slight doubt in his heart, but the most urgent task at hand was to repair the spiritual energy shield so that they could get through this difficult time.
The spirit ship quickly stabilized, and Zisangyi and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, sitting on the deck panting heavily, completely disregarding their image.
Upon reaching the second level, the people of Qingtao Valley felt as if they had escaped death and survived a great battle, finally overcoming their difficulties. Their joy was palpable.
"I thought I wasn't going to survive! I was so scared, it was too dangerous." One of the men cried and whimpered as he hugged the other.
Zi Sangyi didn't speak. This was a failure of their sect. Qingtao Valley was currently being disturbed by miasma, so almost all the protective spiritual energy had been used to protect Qingtao Valley. Although Qingtao Valley was ranked last, it occupied the largest area!
It's even better than the number one Zhentian Clan.
"Let's find an inn nearby to rest for a while, and then set off back into the valley the next day," Zi Sangyi said weakly. Everyone nodded in agreement and began to walk down the mountain.
The exit is inside the forest. Their spirit boat is broken and is with Elder Zisangyi; they can only wait for it to be repaired.
After everyone settled into the inn, they felt a sense of unreality, as if they had escaped death. Xu Yuehuai felt warm and comfortable all over when she entered the inn room. The spiritual energy contained in the air on the second floor was much greater, and just absorbing it made her feel comfortable.
Of course, this only applies to people like them who have just reached the second floor.
After returning to the inn, Zisangyi coughed up blood, grabbed the handrail, and collapsed to the ground.
As an elder, he couldn't show weakness in front of his disciples, otherwise everyone would be afraid. So even though he was seriously injured, he could only keep it to himself. Elder Huangfu followed him in and sighed when he saw his appearance. "Why are you doing this? Why risk your life like this? If you had brought out your family's magic treasure, you would have solved this matter long ago. Why gamble with your life?"
Zi Sangyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sat down on the spot, panting heavily. "You don't understand. I can die, but that thing can't be harmed in the slightest."
Elder Huangfu, not understanding his thoughts, was somewhat annoyed. "Does that thing seem more important than your life? It's just an inanimate object!"
Elder Huangfu and he had been friends for many years, but ever since the accident in Qingtao Valley that year, he found himself increasingly unable to understand his friends from his youth.
He and Zisangyi were childhood sweethearts, which is one of the reasons why Qingtao Valley and Qianlibao are on good terms. Both of them hold important positions in the sect, and their influence is self-evident.
In Xu Yuehuai's room, she slipped into the space and, not seeing Yuan Shui, called out to the air, "Yuan Shui!"
All she got in response was a series of replies. Xu Yuehuai realized that this guy was angry with her and didn't want to come out and see anyone. She sat on the ground and sighed softly. Then she walked to the spiritual spring, soaked her whole body in it, and sighed comfortably.
Yuan Shui watched Xu Yuehuai from the shadows. He was furious because he considered Xu Yuehuai his partner, but this woman didn't summon him to go out even on her deathbed, and was always worried that he would bring disaster upon her.
Yuan Shui had already said that he was very strong and was not afraid of the power of those ants. If anyone dared to mess with him, he could bully that person until their soul was scattered.
But Xu Yuehuai seemed not to trust him, which made him feel very frustrated. Coupled with this incident, he hid away and refused to see Xu Yuehuai.
Seeing that Xu Yuehuai had no major injuries and that the rest of his wounds would heal with a soak in the spiritual spring, he slipped away and hid in a corner.
Xu Yuehuai originally thought that Yuan Shui would eventually come out to find him after he had been here for so long, but he was wrong. Yuan Shui had no intention of coming out at all.
Xu Yuehuai pursed her lips, then left the room. She was almost fully recovered. Just as she stepped out, someone knocked on the door. Xu Yuehuai went to the door and opened it. Standing outside was none other than Ji Yuanchi. "Are you feeling better? Should I go find you a doctor?"
Ji Yuanchi looked worried. She had forgotten that she was also a half-doctor, having studied alchemy and possessing some medical knowledge. "You forgot that you have two medical skills."
Xu Yuehuai is loose-fitting and doesn't take things seriously; they'll stay here for a day.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanchi could only agree and then returned to her room to meditate and regulate her breathing.
Such a good opportunity to cultivate should not be wasted; it would truly be a regrettable situation.
Xu Yuehuai had the same thought. Although the two were sitting in different rooms, they were doing the same thing. After meditating for several hours, Xu Yuehuai felt as if a shackle was about to break through her dantian. She pressed it down tightly, making it unable to move.
After cultivating for an afternoon, she finally opened her closed eyes, got off the bed, went out of her room, and knocked on Ji Yuanchi's door.
Hearing the noise, Ji Yuanchi opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see Xu Yuehuai standing outside. "Want to go out for a walk?"
Ji Yuanchi agreed without hesitation, and the two went to find Brother Pu again. On the way, they met Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen, who shamelessly asked to go out with them. Xu Yuehuai reluctantly agreed to go with them because Fu Ziyi had saved her earlier.
The other sects, having suffered little harm, had already returned home. Elder Huangfu, a close friend of Elder Zisang, was worried about Zisang, so he stayed behind alone, leaving the others to escort the sect disciples back.
Five beautiful women and handsome men walked down the street, constantly attracting attention. Xu Yuehuai disliked being watched like monkeys, so she said to Ji Yuanchi beside her, "Why don't we find a place to have some tea?"
The others had no objections and found a decent-looking teahouse with a storyteller who happened to be telling the story of Qingtao Valley.
"Their story begins ten years ago. Ten years ago, Qingtao Valley was one of the strongest sects. But fate is unpredictable. Overnight, Qingtao Valley was severely damaged. It was attacked by some powerful figure who spread miasma!"
The miasma would permeate the area around the sect, acting as a kind of encirclement. Therefore, the disciples in the sect generally did not leave the sect easily. However, there were always some senior brothers and sisters who had to go out to do missions. They found a way to deal with it, which was to prevent Qingtao Valley from falling too far behind other sects.
