Walking along the winding mountain path, they could faintly hear the sound of water ahead. Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan subconsciously held Sheng He tightly, and walking further ahead, they saw a huge waterfall.
And Wuling Valley is right next to the waterfall.
There were exclamations all around, and many cultivators rushed into the valley. This was the cave of Yuanchen Zhenren. If one was lucky enough to receive her inheritance, or even just get guidance from a wisp of her residual soul, it would be of great benefit to one's future cultivation.
However, Sheng He had been to Wuling Valley once before and was familiar with the structure of the valley. She protected Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan and was not as impatient as the others. The three of them walked slowly into the valley.
Suddenly, a sharp gaze fell on Sheng He.
Sheng He raised her head sharply. The surroundings were quiet with only the three of them left at the end. There seemed to be nothing unusual.
"Xiao He, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go to Xiaoxiang Terrace to get the gold stone first."
Sheng He shook his head and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. The three of them headed straight for Xiaoxiangtai.
Xiaoxiang Terrace is in the center of the lake. It stands above the clear water. The red beams and green tiles reflect the sparkling water. After passing through the long water corridor, the three of them arrived at the Xiaoxiang Terrace.
Although they were the last to enter the valley, they were the first to arrive at Xiaoxiang Terrace.
At this time, there was no one on the Xiaoxiang Terrace, only a huge black stone standing in the corner of the Xiaoxiang Terrace, with eight large characters painted on it in gold paint.
“Where sincerity leads, even metal and stone can be broken?”
Yun Qianshan gently stroked the eight words and looked at Sheng He in disbelief.
"Could it be that the golden stone we are looking for is this big stone?"
Before she finished her words, she suddenly felt dizzy, and the next moment, she disappeared from the Xiaoxiang Stage.
"Xiaoyun!"
Mu Yao's pupils suddenly shrank, and she immediately took a few steps forward to get closer to the big black stone. She looked at the stone carefully from front to back, but did not find any fluctuation of spiritual power.
"Senior Sister, don't worry, Senior Sister Yun is fine."
After saying that, Sheng He took Mu Yao's hand and covered it on the gold lacquer.
After a dizzy spell, Mu Yao opened her eyes again, only to find a dark cave in front of her. Yun Qianshan was holding a small bird egg in his hand, standing at the entrance of the cave and looking out.
Mu Yao felt a strange touch in her hand. She lowered her head and found that she was also holding an egg in her hand. It looked bigger than the one in Yun Qianshan's hand, like a duck egg.
Sheng He raised his head and looked at the cave ceiling which was only one person high, his eyes filled with despair.
"Senior Sister Yun."
"Xiao He, Xiao Yao, you are here too?"
Yun Qianshan turned around in surprise and was about to ask how to get out, but before she could say anything, she saw Sheng He holding a huge black egg in his arms that was almost half the height of her body.
"Xiao He, you..." Yun Qianshan kept saying "unlucky" and finally said tactfully, "Your eggs are quite special."
Sheng He showed a smile that was uglier than crying. She moved to another place with the egg in her arms with difficulty, revealing a row of small words behind her.
It’s still those eight words.
"Sincerity can move metal and stone."
"What does this mean? Are they asking us to hatch the eggs? But aren't we here to find Jinshi?"
"This egg is the golden stone."
"Senior Sister Yun, have you checked this room just now? This should be a cliff..."
As Sheng He was speaking, a figure suddenly fell down. The man screamed and looked at Sheng He and the other two as if he had seen a ghost.
"What the hell is this place? Isn't it said that gold and stone can be found on Xiaoxiang Terrace?"
Sheng He and the other two looked at each other without saying anything.
The monk walked out of the cave while muttering. Like Yun Qianshan, he stood at the entrance of the cave and looked outside. Then he looked back at Sheng He and the others with disdain.
"You've trained for nothing, but you don't even dare to go down this cliff?"
He took out his magic weapon and threw the egg in his hand up again. Sheng He, who noticed his intention, immediately stopped him and said, "Wait! Don't..."
The man raised his eyebrows and stood on the magic weapon without hesitation. The moment he came out of the cave, the magic weapon and the man fell straight down together.
"go out."
Sheng He pursed his lips, walked to the cave entrance and looked down. The monk's screams broke the sky and soon disappeared into the clouds.
“I don’t know where this place is, but the spiritual energy outside the cave seems to be isolated.”
Sheng He sighed and found a corner to sit down. "I made some inquiries before coming here. The gold and stone are in this egg. With sincerity, the gold and stone can be broken. As long as we continuously input our spiritual power into the egg, when the eggshell breaks, we can get out."
Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan looked at the huge black egg in Sheng He's arms at the same time, and Yun Qianshan patted Sheng He's shoulder comfortingly.
"Don't worry, Xiao He. At worst, I can just exchange my eggs with yours."
Sheng He shook his head: "It can't be changed, but don't worry, Senior Sister, the flow of time in this cave is different from that outside, we still have a lot of time to... uh... hatch the eggs."
As they were talking, a few more monks fell down. They looked much calmer and were obviously well prepared. As soon as they entered the cave, they found a place to sit down.
Sheng He looked around. Everyone had a palm-sized egg in their hands. Even in her previous life, she only got a goose egg, and it took her nearly four months to succeed. How come in this life...
Sheng He sighed silently in her heart, but she did not intend to give up. She closed her eyes, stretched out her palm and covered the black eggshell. The bright white spiritual power slowly flowed from her palm into the egg.
......
"You, girl, have a single fire spirit root and a good talent. Wouldn't it be a pity if you spend your whole life crawling in the fields?"
The immortal was dressed in a white robe, with an ethereal look and long snow-white hair draped around her waist. She accidentally glanced down from above the clouds and saw the last trace of bond before her ascension.
The little girl in the field was busy cutting rice and seemed not to hear her words.
But the woman next to her immediately knelt down and worshipped her after seeing her, shouting "Immortal! The Immortal has come!"
She stepped into the field, and her snow-white robe was instantly stained with mud, but she seemed unaware and reached out her hand towards Sheng He.
"You and I are destined to be together. Are you willing to embark on the path to immortality?"
A water-green ring slowly floated in front of Sheng He. Sheng He raised his head and looked at the immortal in front of him in a daze.
She has a pair of pink eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes like snow, and her white hair makes her look even more otherworldly.
Sheng He had never seen such a beautiful person, just like... just like a fairy from heaven.
Seeing Sheng He stunned, her mother beside her quickly pulled her arm.
"You silly boy, speak up!"
"I...I do!"
The immortal curled his lips and smiled softly: "Qingyun Sect still owes me a favor, so I will give this ring to you. When you come to Qingyun Sect to become a disciple, someone will accept you as a disciple."
