How did you come to Dongsang?
"I remember you were supposed to be handling important matters on the border of the Great Zhou!"
Xu Yuehuai stopped and gave a warm smile.
"Yes, life is unpredictable and unpredictable."
"I came to Dongsang to deal with some urgent matters."
She frowned slightly. "And you, how did you end up here?"
Wang Mang took out a letter from his bosom and gently handed it to Xu Yuehuai.
“I received a secret letter that mentioned you’ve encountered trouble in Dong Sang.”
"Sister, we are not related by blood, but we are as close as brothers."
"How can I sit idly by and do nothing?"
Xu Yuehuai took the letter, looked up at Wang Mang, and was very grateful.
"Thank you, Brother Wang Mang. I really needed your help, and you've come at just the right time."
“Let’s go. I’ve rented a mansion here, which can serve as our temporary haven. Let’s go now.”
As Wang Mang spoke, he led Xu Yuehuai to walk a short distance away.
A mansion surrounded by green trees and exuding tranquility is a haven of peace in the noisy world, making people want to get closer.
Upon entering the mansion, Wang Mang arranged a room for Xu Yuehuai.
Afterwards, they had dinner together, with Wang Mang expressing his welcome and care for her.
At the dinner table, Wang Mang carefully served Xu Yuehuai food and frequently inquired about her recent situation.
Xu Yuehuai answered each question, but with a hint of reservation.
After dinner, Xu Yuehuai returned to his room under the pretext of cultivation. He gently closed the door and, after making sure no one would disturb him, sat cross-legged to consolidate the cultivation he had just absorbed.
The room was filled with surging spiritual energy, and countless rays of light gathered around Xu Yuehuai.
"Bei Wei's power is truly extraordinary; it actually allowed me to fully recover my cultivation."
"My strength has reached a new level now." Xu Yuehuai revealed a satisfied smile.
"All of this may be the result of Aze's silent planning behind the scenes."
"His layout was so profound and ingenious that it amazed me."
Thinking of Qi Guze, Xu Yuehuai's eyes softened.
"But why is he so reluctant to show himself to me?" she sighed softly.
As night deepened, Xu Yuehuai's cultivation entered a crucial stage.
Her spiritual energy fluctuations were so intense that they distorted the surrounding air.
She suddenly opened her eyes. "I am no longer weak. No one can bully me now."
Xu Yuehuai looked out the window and said, "Anyone who wants to harm me should be prepared to pay the price."
The next morning, the sunlight draped the sleeping city in a splendid golden cloak, and Xu Yuehuai and Wang Mang got up early.
"Brother Wang Mang, we must gather clues in the surrounding area today. We absolutely cannot allow our clan's plan to succeed. We must find the gemstone mine; it is the key to increasing our strength and fighting against the alien race."
Wang Mang nodded vigorously, "Sister, don't worry, even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire in front of us, I will fight alongside you."
Afterwards, they changed into ordinary people's clothes and blended into the bustling market.
With her keen intuition, Xu Yuehuai quickly found her own clues.
In a secluded and hidden valley, the alien forces were relatively weak, but the defenses were tight, so they should not be underestimated.
“We must not alert them,” Xu Yuehuai said to Wang Mang in a low voice. “We will act at night.”
"We can take advantage of the complex terrain and the cover of night to reduce the risk of being discovered."
As night fell, the mineral veins in the valley emitted a faint glow, concealing countless dangers and traps beneath this beauty.
“The guards are circling over there,” Wang Mang said, pointing to the foreign soldiers patrolling in the distance. “Their defenses are extremely strong, so we must be even more careful.”
Xu Yuehuai quickly scanned the surroundings, finding the best path to infiltrate.
A narrow stream flows along one side of the vein, and next to the stream is a dense thicket of bushes.
“We’ll go from there,” Xu Yuehuai pointed to the stream.
The two then carefully followed the stream, bypassing most of the guards, and arrived at the back of the mine.
With a gentle wave of her hand, Xu Yuehuai activated her special ability, and several small and exquisite excavation tools from the Infinite Warehouse appeared before her.
She took her tools and began collecting gemstones.
"Hurry, we need to hurry," Xu Yuehua urged, her movements becoming increasingly rapid and precise.
After digging and collecting for a long time, they finally collected enough gemstones and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the patrolling alien soldiers discovered their presence.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Wang Mang exclaimed in a low voice, quickly drawing his sword.
Xu Yuehuai casually tossed out a smoke bomb, "Run! I'll hold them off!"
As soon as the smoke grenades landed, they immediately covered the surroundings, making it impossible for the enemy to see their figures.
"I never expected you to have such a wonderful thing, sister!" Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed with delight.
"I have as much of this as you want, and I'll bring you some later." Xu Yuehuai tossed a few smoke bombs to Wang Mang.
Wang Mang immediately caught it in his arms, treating it like a treasure.
Soon after, they fled to a distant place, escaping their pursuers.
In less than an hour, they were back in the safe mansion.
Xu Yuehuai quickly put all the collected items into the alchemy furnace, where the fire burned fiercely as she began refining the precious stones.
"Your alchemy skills have improved again!" Wang Mang exclaimed in surprise as he watched from the side.
Beside the alchemy furnace, a seven-colored flame was shimmering, and the flame was different from ordinary fire, its color constantly changing.
"Brother Wang Mang, you flatter me." Xu Yuehuai carefully watched the alchemy furnace from the side, adding fuel and fanning it from time to time.
After a night of meticulous refining, by breakfast time, Xu Yuehuai had several crystal-clear pills that emitted a faint glow in her hand.
“This is the Gemstone Pill,” Xu Yuehuai said, handing the pill to Wang Mang.
"After you take it, it will improve your physical condition and cultivation level."
Wang Mang swallowed it without hesitation, his muscles became more resilient, and his breathing became more steady.
"Yuehuai's pills are amazing!"
"With these pills, we will definitely be able to defeat the alien race!"
“Yes.” Xu Yuehuai also picked up the pill and swallowed it.
In the Eastern Sang Palace, two figures moved like ghosts through the shadows.
"Are you sure that the key is hidden there?" Wang Mang asked in a low voice.
“There’s no doubt that it’s in the darkest part of that dungeon,” Xu Yuehuai said.
Then, they approached the iron gate, which was marked by the passage of time.
Xu Yuehuai gently pushed open the heavy iron door, and a chilling aura rushed out in an instant.
"I never imagined you had suffered so much here," Wang Mang said, feeling both heartache and indignation. "Tell me quickly who captured you; I will avenge you!"
