Chapter 14: Jiufeng Mountain Secret Realm
Nan Xiao’s happiness didn’t last long, as she noticed that the elder’s expression was not right.
Her heart also became a little uneasy: "Elder, is there any other problem?"
"Silly child, this elixir can repair spiritual roots, but look, there is a spiritual medicine in it that is hard to find in the world." The elder of the library said, pointing to a spiritual plant in the book.
"Green Wood Lotus Heart Grass?"
"This spiritual plant is rare even in the upper cultivation world. And in the lower cultivation world where we are, it's even considered a legendary elixir. Back then, almost all the great minds of the Xiaoyao Sect were mobilized to search for it, searching every secret realm, big or small, without leaving any trace. But reaching the upper cultivation world requires breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage, and once you're there, it's not easy to come down, let alone deliver anything." The elder of the library took a sip of water and continued, "Jiang Xia was only one step away from reaching the Divine Transformation stage. Ultimately, fate plays tricks on us."
Nan Xiao was silent for a moment, then said, "Since there is a record, it must exist. If it's not in the lower cultivation world, I will go to the upper cultivation world to look for it for my eldest brother."
When she came to this world, apart from Lu Huai, the eldest senior brother was the best to her.
Apart from anything else, the eldest brother is extremely talented. Such a person should be born to stand at a high position. How could he become mediocre and finally disappear in obscurity?
"Your senior brother loves you well. It's almost daybreak now. You should go back and pack up and get ready to leave." The elder didn't say anything to discourage her. It's always good to have a goal.
They also sent people to the upper cultivation world to look for him, but unfortunately they lost contact after they went up, and there is no news now.
"Okay, I'll pack these up and leave." Nan Xiao put the books she had messed up back in their proper places, following her memory. She only put the book containing the Creation Pill into her storage ring.
After finishing all these, it was already bright outside and Nan Xiao returned to the yard.
Jiang Xia and Lu Huai were waiting for her.
"Big Brother..."
"I'm so happy to be able to go out."
Nan Xiao rushed over like a firecracker, and Jiang Xia caught him steadily.
He rubbed Nan Xiao's head and said, "Junior sister, you have grown taller."
"Big Brother, I am taller than Xiaoxiao now." Lu Huai poked his head out from the side, with the words "don't be partial" written on his face.
"Well, junior brother has grown taller too." Jiang Xia understood immediately and rubbed Lu Huai's head.
"Junior Sister, our round trip will probably take us a month. Do you think there is anything else you should bring?"
Nan Xiao showed off the rings on her hand and said, "I've put them on."
"Then let's go."
Lu Huai and Nan Xiao both cannot fly with swords, so Jiang Xia takes care of them.
His spirit sword flew into the air, grew bigger in the eyes of several people, and then stopped at their feet very considerately.
"Let's go."
Jiang Xia walked over first, followed by Lu Huai, and finally Nan Xiao.
The sword body has changed a lot, even if three people sit on it, they won’t feel crowded.
"Junior sister, sit tight."
Lu Huai had mentioned to Jiang Xia before how miserable Nan Xiao looked when she was taken away for the first time, so he reminded her this time.
Nan Xiao was a little nervous at first, but after the plane really took off, she found that the senior brother was flying really steadily, and her worries were completely unnecessary.
The most important thing is that the eldest brother was considerate enough to put a protective cover on the outside, so she didn't have to worry about her hair being messy in the strong wind.
The eldest brother is much more considerate than the master.
Lu Huai asked, "Big Brother, how long will it take us to get there?"
"According to the journey, it will take about three days."
Nan Xiao thought they would spend the next three days in the air, but at night, Jiang Xia found a small town to stay.
"I could fly all the time, but I'm mainly worried that you two can't handle it."
The three of them found an inn in the small town, rented three rooms, and stayed there for the night. Early in the morning, Jiang Xia took the two of them on their journey again.
Compared to the first day when they were chattering non-stop, the two little ones were noticeably silent today.
Lu Huai simply sat in meditation to practice, and Nan Xiao also took out his own alchemy furnace.
Jiang Xia looked at the alchemy furnace that appeared on his spirit sword and fell silent.
Junior sister is really not picky about time or place when it comes to refining pills.
She should be the first person to refine elixirs on spiritual swords.
It was already evening when we arrived near Jiufeng Mountain.
Jiang Xia took the two of them into the small town at the foot of Jiufeng Mountain.
Because of the secret place, the usually empty streets are bustling with activity.
Many people came, both independent cultivators and disciples from sects.
Jiang Xia grabbed one in each hand and said, "There are so many people here, don't lose them."
The two were also very obedient. Jiang Xia took them to search all the inns in the town, but they were all either fully booked.
In summary, it was fully booked.
In the end, Jiang Xia had no choice but to take them to camp in the open space next to the city wall.
There were already more than ten groups of people camping on the open ground, and it seemed that none of them had booked an inn.
Jiang Xia found an empty corner with few people around, lit a fire, took out a carpet and spread it on the ground, and the three of them sat on it to rest.
Nan Xiao took out the delicious food he had prepared and gave some to Jiang Xia and Lu Huai.
"Junior sister, you forgot that I'm already fasting and don't need to eat." Jiang Xia refused with a smile.
"I didn't forget. I just wanted Big Brother to eat with us."
"Yes, senior brother, the dried meat made by Xiaoxiao is delicious." Lu Huai was chewing the dried meat, and half of his face was bulging.
"Since it was made by Junior Sister, then Senior Brother will try it." Jiang Xia no longer refused, took a piece of dried meat and chewed it carefully.
Several people were eating dried meat and chatting.
The camping group is still growing.
Nan Xiao looked at the five newcomers. She nudged Lu Huai next to her with her elbow and said, "Have we seen these people somewhere before?"
"ah?"
Lu Huai followed her gaze. It was already completely dark, and even though there were many fires here, the lighting was still not high. "I can't see clearly, but the clothes do look familiar."
"That's a disciple of Huanhai Sect." Jiang Xia said
"Do you know the eldest brother?" Nan Xiao asked
"I don't know them, but judging by their attire, they're from the Huanhai Sect." Jiang Xia rarely left his sect, and he had only heard of the names of these disciples from the major sects, never met them in person. However, he still recognized the distinctive attire of each sect.
"Everyone from Huanhai Sect is here. Are the people from the other two sects here too?"
"It should be, but the Huanhai Sect should be like us, they didn't book an inn."
Nan Xiao glanced at him sideways. Isn't this nonsense? He can book an inn and appear in this place.
The night passed peacefully.
Early in the morning, everyone started packing up and heading to the secret realm of Jiufeng Mountain.
Looking at the densely packed heads, there must be at least a thousand people here.
I don’t know how this little secret place can attract so many people.
Jiang Xia frowned: "Something seems to be wrong here."
He looked up and saw that most of them were in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, and there were also a few Nascent Soul stages.
There are so many people, could it be that some treasure has appeared in the secret realm?
