Chapter 106 Is it too late to start learning now?
Zhong Hanshang felt an indescribable strange feeling suddenly surge in his heart.
This was because this was the first time in his life that he was pulled forward by a girl like this.
Ever since he could remember, his master had kept him by his side, rarely allowing him to have much contact with the outside world, and his mind and eyes were filled with only the important matter of urging him to practice.
During those countless days and nights, when other children were still laughing and playing.
He has immersed himself in the secret manuals of martial arts and is struggling in the mysterious world of spiritual power.
It was precisely because of his extraordinary concentration and hard work that he made rapid progress at the age of sixteen and successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Become a talented cultivator who is envied by others and has extraordinary talent.
If he hadn't mustered up the courage this time and asked his master for permission to go out and gain some experience,
I'm afraid that at this moment he is still trapped in the small world of the sect, facing the secret books and ancient scrolls day after day, repeating the boring daily practice.
Although his cultivation became increasingly advanced, he was like a bird trapped in a cage, completely unaware of the splendor of the vast world outside.
The master's teachings still echoed in his ears. Those words were like golden rules, deeply engraved in his heart since childhood - everything in the world is like a dream and a bubble.
It is nothing but a fleeting and illusory existence. Only the mysterious and profound avenue is the supreme goal pursued and explored by practitioners.
But it was not until he was in this predicament that Zhong Hanshang suddenly realized that although he had a good cultivation level, his experience in actual combat was pitifully lacking.
He has a lot of spiritual power, but he doesn't know how to flexibly deal with the treacherous storms in the world and the complexity and unpredictability of people's hearts.
Otherwise, how could he be trapped so easily in this desperate place of the dark river and be in such a miserable state?
In the end, he had to rely on a female Jindan cultivator whom he had just met to rescue him.
"Fellow Daoist, why don't we go up?"
After receiving Zhong Hanshang's message again, Gao Huohuo answered impatiently.
"I can't go up until the work is done."
If she hadn't wasted time saving him, she might have already gone up. At this moment, the vibration of the spirit sword above her head was simply unbearable for her.
It was like someone was hitting her head with a hammer over and over again.
She wanted to take off the hairpin that the magic sword had transformed into, but found that she couldn't take it off at all.
Fortunately, we finally reached the bottom of the river and a stone door appeared in front of us.
Gao Huohuo's lively eyes quickly swept around, carefully taking in the surrounding environment.
After confirming that there was no trace of other people and no signs of human presence on the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, it looks like no one is following us for now."
Gao Huohuo secretly rejoiced, and the tense string in his heart relaxed a little.
"Otherwise, what if the treasure hidden behind this stone door is exactly what Su Ruoyun has been looking for.
It will be so awkward when we meet, I won’t be able to explain myself.”
Thinking of this, Gao Huohuo raised his hand to release the hand that had been holding Zhong Hanshang's sleeve, and made a gesture to walk forward quickly to push open the mysterious stone door.
However, she suddenly felt a force at her wrist. She turned her head and saw that Zhong Hanshang had reached out his hand and grabbed her tightly.
At the same time, he signaled her to stand back with his eyes. From the look of his face, it was clear that he was planning to be the first to go forward and push open the door.
“Yoho!”
Gao Huohuo suddenly felt a surge of unwillingness to admit defeat, and thought to himself.
"It seems like it has seen some signs of treasure, so it's afraid that I'll get there first and snatch away the benefits.
So they hurriedly dragged me to the back, but that was no way!"
He suddenly swung his arm, broke free from Zhong Hanshang's hand, and rushed forward as fast as the wind.
He exerted all his strength with both hands and pushed the stone door open with a "creak".
"Humph, you want to snatch the treasure from me without even considering your own weight. When have I ever been afraid of losing?
I'm determined to take the lead today!"
Gao Huohuo muttered to himself as he rushed forward, and plunged into the stone gate with great momentum.
Zhong Hanshang was originally worried that there was danger behind the stone door, so he wanted to push the door himself.
After all, he has reached the Nascent Soul stage and has powerful spiritual strength. Even if he really encounters danger, he still has some ability to protect himself.
Unexpectedly, this female monk still cared about him very much. She was afraid that he was injured, so she rushed in first without caring about her own safety.
After the two of them went in, the hairpin on Gao Huohuo's head turned back into the shape of a spirit sword and began to absorb the colorful light ball inside.
Even Ziying came down from her hand and began to absorb the colorful light ball together.
What good stuff is this? Why are they all absorbing it?
I don't know if humans can absorb it. Otherwise, she would also like to take a sip and taste what it tastes like.
"Master, this colorful ball of light is a good thing. Even I need it."
"Xiao Lingzi? Then you should hurry up and absorb it too!"
Gao Huohuo wanted to take out the Lingyun Stone after he finished speaking, but Xiao Lingzi hurriedly stopped him and said:
"Master, let them absorb it first, so that they can protect you. I'm not in a hurry.
But you should quickly set up a formation or barrier to block the aura, otherwise, once they have absorbed it, it will probably attract a large number of cultivators."
Gao Huohuo's consciousness instantly penetrated into the storage ring, turning the objects inside upside down like a whirlwind.
However, in the end, he was still disappointed because there was no formation disk that could block the aura.
She turned to think about the barrier again, but as soon as the thought came to her mind, her spirit deflated again, and her face was full of dejection.
"Forget it, with my current level of cultivation, it's difficult for me to successfully cast a useful barrier.
That's simply wishful thinking, it's impossible to do."
For a moment, Gao Huohuo was like an ant on a hot pan, running around in a panic.
His eyes inadvertently swept over Zhong Hanshang who was standing silently beside him, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
But soon it dimmed again, and his expression was full of embarrassment and hesitation.
As if feeling Gao Huohuo's urgent gaze that was like a thorn in his back, Zhong Hanshang slightly turned sideways and looked at her.
Seeing her hesitant to speak, he took the initiative to ask:
"Looking at your expression, you seem to have encountered a difficult problem and need my help?
Don’t worry, just speak frankly.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo cleared his throat and blurted out his request.
"To be honest, I do have an unreasonable request right now.
You see, this place is full of dangers, and we don't know the surrounding situation. If we are discovered by outsiders, we will definitely get into big trouble.
So I was thinking, could you help me set up a barrier that can not only prevent our breath from leaking out?
It would be best if we could make it so that those people outside with ulterior motives wouldn't even notice we're hiding here, even if they were trying to investigate. Is that okay?"
After saying that, she looked at Zhong Hanshang expectantly.
He should agree! After all, he just saved his life.
"I haven't learned how to set up a barrier yet, but I brought some books on the subject. Please wait for me for a moment."
Huh? Is it too late to start learning now? How about she join in?
