Chapter 75: Falling Mist Fairy Water
He Cen looked at them in shock, "Are you crazy? Who wants to be bound to a ghost system?"
"Whether I ascend or not is my own business. I am the master of my own life. Why would that kind of thing control me? Make decisions for me?"
"Is it worthy of such a thing? No one can tell me what to do with my life except me."
Jun Chao and the others didn't say anything. He Cen stretched out his foot and gently kicked Bei Qi beside him. "What's wrong? What do you want to do with the binding system?"
Bei Qi suddenly smiled, "Who knows? I guess he wants to see how much we like He He?"
He Cen didn't understand the train of thought of these four people, "Why do you want to see my favorability? I don't need to win you over. Besides, it doesn't matter if you don't have the favorability that can only be earned by completing missions. It's all a life trajectory arranged by others. What's the point of living like this?"
"Could it be that you guys really like this routine?"
"Jun Chao, haven't you read storybooks? This kind of story should be quite common, right? You have been in the cultivation world for so long, don't you have any confidantes?"
Several people shook their heads. Bo Lou sneered, "You are so busy with cultivation that you don't have time to talk about love. Moreover, there are several strong guys of the same generation who are eyeing you covetously. If it were you, would you dare to slack off?"
"You know Jun Chao. He is as calm as a bodhisattva all day long. He practices all the time. Wen Qing is even worse than him. Jun Chao at least shows up, but that guy is hiding away quietly to break through. If I hadn't challenged him to a fight from time to time, who knows if he is dead or not."
Wen Qing: ...
"I am a ghost cultivator, so there is no question of whether I live or die."
He Cen: “It’s so funny.”
No one expected the system to suddenly show up, but after He Cen and the four masters became inseparable, it never dared to show up again.
Wen Qing's ghost skeletons are good at reconnaissance. As soon as they were released, they went to look for Ouyang Yinyin. The woman was indeed near the water cave. She could not communicate with the system. She was a disciple of the Hehuan Sect who came here to gain experience. As a new disciple of the Hehuan Sect who had received much attention recently, she was naturally very different.
Because she is the daughter of the leader of the Hehuan Sect, her status in the sect is quite high.
Although the old demon has many children, Ouyang Yinyin is extremely talented and beautiful, which fits the image of a disciple of the Huan Sect very well, and she is particularly prestigious when she goes out.
Now, she is only a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but she can already captivate a group of male cultivators. Her figure and temperament are one in a hundred, and she is also very much loved in the sect.
Ouyang Yinyin likes this kind of atmosphere, enjoys the love and admiration from people around her, and also enjoys this stage of being favored no matter what.
But He Cen didn't care much about her, he actually cared more about the system.
Seeing his indifferent expression, the four people admired his patience. After all, Ouyang Yinyin had changed her body, but the little sword spirit was not curious at all.
As if he understood what they wanted to ask from their expressions, He Cen smiled slightly, "With her selfish personality, I can recognize her as soon as she appears, without having to look for her specially."
"This kind of person, no matter how much you care about her, it will only encourage her to become more arrogant. Just ignore her."
Wen Qing glanced over there and said, "It seems like they are also here to look for something. Is there any trial ground near the water cave?"
Jun Chao thought for a moment and said, "There is a Liao Liao River over there, and there grows a kind of fragrant orchid grass, which is very helpful to disciples in the Jindan stage. The nearby cultivators will come to look for some."
"There are some aquatic monsters living there. If you are lucky, you can hunt some monster pills."
He Cen didn't listen carefully to what Jun Chao said, they came to track down Yishui.
After finding this place, I rested temporarily in the moving cave, and then explored around. It was a coincidence that I ran into Ouyang Yinyin.
He originally didn't have time to care about what happened to the female strategist, but because the system suddenly found him, He Cen started to think more about it.
When he was training at night, he hid it from his four masters, wanting to try to touch the red line, sever the contract with the capture girl, and take the initiative to rebel against the master first.
The memories left by the sword spirit allowed him to vaguely grasp some secret techniques, but he didn't know whether it was because he was not the original sword spirit, or because Ouyang Yinyin was not the original heroine and had changed her body, there were double obstacles in their communication.
Although this obstacle prevented the female strategist from controlling the sword spirit, thus severing her connection with Hecen, it also became a great obstacle for the sword spirit to rebel against its master.
The binding force of this master-servant contract may have become less severe, but it is also more difficult to break.
After He Cen discovered this fact, he broke out in a cold sweat.
He did not give up and touched the deeper restrictions. As expected, he suffered a severe backlash and vomited blood several times. Wen Qing was guarding him at night. Seeing him like this, he was terrified and immediately moved in front of him, "He He!"
"What's wrong?"
He Cen felt that he was a bit too reckless. Having just broken through to the Golden Core Stage, it was a good thing to be confident, but he did underestimate the contract that this dog system had bound to the sword spirit and the female strategist.
I didn't expect it to be so strong and yet so disgusting.
He was the one who made the decision on his own, so he didn't dare tell the truth to his masters. Wen Qing asked anxiously, so he called the other people over as well.
When they saw so much blood vomited on the ground, they all looked anxious and worried, "What happened?"
"You were fine during the day. Haven't you been practicing smoothly? He He, what went wrong with you?"
He Cen shook his head with all his strength, and just when he was about to speak, he weakly spat out another mouthful of blood. The four people were terrified. How could the sword spirit baby, who had been raised healthy and had never been injured, suddenly become like this?
His face was as pale as gold paper. His originally delicate and handsome face now looked sickly, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, which made Jun Chao and the other three feel very distressed.
Wen Qing had been supplying him with spiritual energy since the beginning, and the others did not hesitate to find medicine to help him heal his wounds.
Jun Chao stared at He Cen, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and had a slightly evasive look in his eyes. The suspicion in his heart was infinitely magnified. "He He, what did you do?"
He Cen didn't dare to say that he had just boldly wanted to try to cancel the contract. He smiled bitterly, blinked and looked at Jun Chao pitifully, and quickly lied in his mind, "I wanted to look through the memories of the forbidden land before, but I was too impatient, and it was a bit too long, so my mind was not stable for a while..."
He spoke softly, not quite confidently. Jun Chao stared at his clear eyes suspiciously, with an indescribable coldness in his expression.
This looked a bit fierce. He Cen shrank his neck and subconsciously felt a bit afraid of Jun Chao.
Bei Qi pulled him and said, "What are you doing? He He is injured, why are you interrogating the prisoner? Why are you looking at our baby so fiercely?"
Jun Chao then realized that his complexion might not be good. After relaxing his expression, he grabbed He Cen's wrist and took his pulse. "You obviously suffered a backlash. Did you do anything else when you were practicing just now?"
He Cen felt his scalp tingling under the gaze of his good master who saw through everything, but he didn't want to make them worry, so he finally nodded with his neck stiffened.
The little sword spirit sometimes had a stubborn temper and had his own plans. Jun Chaojian was unable to pry his mouth open, so he kept silent.
But seeing that his eyes had become much deeper, He Cen felt guilty and did not dare to act rashly. He smiled ingratiatingly at Jun Chao.
He guessed that the four people should all know that he was hiding something, so they were particularly quiet at this moment.
He was held down by the four masters and healed, not daring to say a word.
It was also his own fault for being reckless. He had just touched the red line in his ocean of consciousness and wanted to try to cross it. He didn't expect that even the smallest move would fail and he ended up falling flat on his face.
Is it so difficult for the sword spirit to rebel against its master?
That red line cannot be crossed. Does that mean he will never be able to help himself and Brother Sword Spirit get out of this situation in his entire life?
Or did something else happen after the female strategist changed her body?
He Cen had a lot of questions in his mind, and his expression changed again and again, but he said nothing to his masters.
Jun Chao and the others must have become suspicious, but they were unwilling to force the little sword spirit. It was useless to scold him at this time. He Cen looked so cute and adorable, and they were reluctant to be cruel to him.
After losing enough spiritual power, Wen Qing helped the little sword spirit lie down, "Rest for a while, don't practice tonight."
No one mentioned his injury, but they all looked worried. Jun Chao gently put his hand back into the quilt and tucked the corner of the quilt for him. He said meaningfully, "He He, there are some things we don't ask, but you have to keep them in mind."
"It is my duty to pamper you and treat you well. Just accept it with a clear conscience. Don't worry too much about finding any treasures for us. Your safety is the most important thing."
"We care about you and trust you. Nothing in this world is more important than your safety. Do you understand?"
He Cen nodded obediently.
Jun Chao's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were so clear and sharp that he must have known what was going on in his mind. He Cen felt a little guilty when he looked into his eyes.
Pursing her lips, she apologized to the four people a little embarrassedly, "I will be more careful next time. I will definitely not be so impatient and will not hurt myself."
Bei Qi smiled and gently touched his head. "My dear, I am not afraid of your nonsense, but you should be aware that you should not handle some things by yourself, okay?"
"The teachers will feel bad too."
Having said that, I’ll stop here.
He Cen also knew that they were sincere to him and really cared about him, so he agreed seriously.
This was a minor setback. Fortunately, although He Cen suffered some internal injuries, they were not serious and he was much better after two or three days of rest.
They came here to look for strange water. This thing is very difficult to capture without special means. They finally tracked it down to this place, so they can't give up easily.
He Cen rested for a few days and felt much better. The capture girl didn't get close to their territory when she appeared before, and her destination was not along the same route as theirs, so they felt relieved.
I recovered well today. He Cen was eager to try when he got up. "Let's go catch fish first. I have a feeling we can catch a big fish today~"
The four of them wanted to laugh when they saw his bright and excited eyes. He Cen was really lively and cheerful. He had just been injured and now that he had some strength left, he couldn't sit still.
The strange water that He Cen and his friends were looking for was in an inconspicuous cave. According to the sword spirit's memory, that thing should be in a deep spring underground. Strange water is more subtle than strange fire and is very difficult to catch, so they did not dare to make any moves along the way.
The little sword spirit even made everyone hold their breath, not daring to let Yishui know, lest the little thing escape quickly and they would not be able to catch up.
Even though He Cen is here, finding treasures doesn't always mean luck, so everyone is very cautious.
Ouyang Yinyin and the Hehuan Sect's disciples had already found their things and left in the past few days, so they ignored them and focused on catching Yishui.
The exotic water that He Cen wanted was called Luowu Fairy Water. If used well, a foggy camphor forest would appear when one opened it with one's hand. This fairy water could also slowly dissolve and, with some refinement, could be used to refine and purify many natural treasures.
It can be considered as a very auxiliary type. Before they came to find this thing, He Cen explained it clearly to them.
"Strange water is not like strange fire. Strange water is generally timid. It has not been out of the world for a long time and is instinctively afraid of the outside world. Moreover, many monks are not familiar with the existence of strange water. When it sees people, it will definitely run away."
"All of you should control your anger and don't scare it. We will be relying on Luo Wu to do our work from now on. This thing is very useful."
Jun Chao and his companions agreed, and after collecting the cave, they simply cast a psychedelic formation around it. After everything was ready, they turned around and quickly went into the cave to explore.
The water-containing cave is actually a large area. There are many valleys and streams here. It is a spiritual vein and the environment is also very good. There are monks practicing in the surrounding hills. There are many various confusing and defensive magic arrays.
The cave we entered was the one we finally identified after several visits and searches here and after eliminating all other possible caves.
Given the cultivation levels of these people, it was not difficult to find them. It was even easier for them to hide their traces, and they had a movable cave, so they did not alarm the surrounding cultivators at all.
After entering, Wen Qing raised his hand and blocked the way in. Bei Qi also marked the way along the way. The cooperation of several big guys working together was simply too pleasant.
He Cen doesn't have to worry about anything all day long. He just needs to follow his four masters and pick up what's ready.
He was quite happy, jumping around without any tension at all.
"It's so fun to be with you guys. You're reliable and I don't have to worry about you holding me back. I don't know where I can find teammates like you anymore."
Jun Chao curled the corners of his lips, "Then you must cherish the four of us."
He Cen took two steps forward and patted him on the back, "What you said is true~ Master~ I have such a conscience, I am the best disciple in the world, right?"
Jun Chao laughed and tapped the tip of his nose, "You are the only one who knows how to behave."
"When we take action later, be careful not to be affected by the spiritual power."
He Cen nodded, "I know, I won't cause any trouble for you, Master, you can go ahead with confidence."
