Jiang Hao looked at the woman wearing a silver mask and holding a silver sword. At this moment, Qian Youxue's image seemed to radiate light.
"Sister Mei'er, get out of the way."
After Qian Youxue uttered a spell, the Yin-Yang Sword obediently began to fight the six-headed centipede. She used the first move of the Heaven-Burning Technique, Gate of Hell.
After reciting the incantation, the spiritual power on his body expanded, and then the spiritual power transformed into a raging fire that burned the six centipedes, causing them to scream in pain.
The Yin-Yang Sword continued its relentless attacks on the six-headed centipede amidst the raging flames, eventually severing its remaining heads as the centipede lost its bearings.
Pfft!
Black blood sprayed onto the Yin-Yang Sword, and the tainted sword fell to the ground.
After struggling painfully for a while, the six-headed centipede also collapsed to the ground.
Fearing the six-headed centipede might try something, Qian Youxue took out a fist-sized luminous pearl and illuminated the entire area. Seeing this, Yunhe went up and dug out the six-headed centipede's inner core and put it away.
"Sister Mei'er, would you please stay outside and help bandage their wounds?" Qian Youxue was worried that there might be other poisonous creatures in the cave and didn't want Sister Mei'er to take the risk.
Mei'er really wanted to go in, but considering her knowledge of poison, she was afraid of holding her master and Yunhe back, so she could only obediently nod.
"Sister Mei'er, some things can't be rushed." Yunhe patted Sister Mei'er's shoulder and handed the inner core to her master.
Qian Youxue tossed the luminous pearl in her hand to Mei'er, picked up the Yin-Yang Sword from the ground, cleansed the sword with a wisp of spiritual energy, and then the Yin-Yang Sword swayed in her hand before flying into the cave.
Seeing this, Qian Youxue and Yunhe quickly followed. Such a spiritual creature must have discovered some treasure.
Upon entering the cave, a chilling cold filled the air, along with the stench of rotting corpses. Qian Youxue took out another luminous pearl to illuminate the path ahead.
The ground was uneven and pitted. The path along the stone wall was walkable, but in the middle was a mud pit with the hands and feet of corpses floating on it. Some were from spirit beasts, and some were from humans. The corpses were all rotten, and some were just bare bones. The sight of them made one's skin crawl.
"Master, be careful. There are probably poisonous creatures in the mud," Yunhe warned his master, cautiously looking around. Such dark and damp places are perfect for poisonous creatures to survive; it's hard to say what other things might emerge from there. Qian Youxue understood this as well, taking out several packets of powder from her person and tossing them to Yunhe before continuing forward.
When Yunhe took the medicine powder and looked up, he found that the Yin-Yang Sword was gone. He became worried: "Master, did some poisonous creature take your precious sword?"
"Don't worry, once that thing recognizes its owner, no one can take it away." Qian Youxue had witnessed the power of the Yin-Yang Sword and wasn't worried at all.
Sensing the aura of the Yin-Yang Sword, and following the aura forward, they soon saw the Yin-Yang Sword suspended in mid-air at the corner of the cave.
At this moment, the tip of the Yin-Yang Sword pointed at the moss-covered stone wall. There was nothing else on the stone wall except for moss, which left the two of them somewhat puzzled.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
Suddenly, the sword's edge rubbed a small hole in the stone wall, and a clear silver light appeared before them.
It turned out there was more to it than met the eye. Qian Youxue went forward to take a look and found that the silver color was the same as the silver color on the Yin Yang Sword.
“Master, this is top-grade black iron, which can be used to repair the spirit sword.” Yunhe recognized the item on the stone wall at a glance.
Repair the Spirit Sword?
Qian Youxue roughly understood the meaning of the Yin-Yang Sword; the Yin-Yang Sword wanted to repair its blade.
Thinking carefully about the experts in Xuanwu who forged spiritual weapons, she frowned slightly again: "Even if we find Xuan Iron, we may not be able to repair such a special treasure as the Yin Yang Sword."
“Master, some things depend on fate. This is a good thing. Now that we’ve found it, let’s keep it safe and figure out what to do with it later.” Yunhe knew that this thing was not cheap on the market and that ordinary people couldn’t buy it with money.
Qian Youxue nodded and instructed Yunhe to use her spiritual power to create a protective barrier to prevent them from being buried inside if the cave collapsed.
After taking necessary precautions, she used her spiritual power to activate the Yin-Yang Sword and spent the better part of an hour digging out the small amount of black iron from the stone wall. The fewer people who saw such valuable items, the better, so she unhesitatingly threw the pile of things into the Spirit Scroll.
"Hehe, I knew Master must have other spatial treasures." Yunhe covered her mouth and laughed happily when she saw the items being put away.
"You really can see through everything. Can you tell what this is?" Qian Youxue rolled up her sleeve, revealing the mark on the spirit scroll.
Yunhe gasped, thinking she was seeing things. She rubbed her eyes and opened them, almost screaming in disbelief.
"You're amazing! Is there anything you don't recognize?" Qian Youxue saw Yunhe recognize the symbol of the Spirit Scroll and gave him a thumbs up in praise.
"A spirit scroll! Is it really a spirit scroll?" Yunhe asked curiously, snapping out of his daze.
Um!
Qian Youxue nodded heavily, took Yunhe's hand, and slipped into the Spirit Scroll. At this moment, the pile of black iron was placed next to the Snow Spirit Spring.
"Heavens, Master, when did you acquire such a Heavenly-grade treasure? Do you know how many people would fight tooth and nail for it? It disappeared for so many years, and now it's in your possession? It's unbelievable!" Yunhe knew quite a bit about these high-level treasures. Seeing the spiritual energy surging in the space, she couldn't admire her master any more.
Seeing Yunhe's infatuated expression, Qian Youxue lazily sat down, waved her hand, and a small bowl appeared in her hand. She filled it with spring water, took a sip, and then took out another bowl and handed it to Yunhe as well.
Yunhe took the spring water, tilted his head back and drank a mouthful, then wiped his mouth and said happily, "Master, you must be the chosen one those people were talking about, right?"
"What is a person destined for greatness?" Qian Youxue asked, puzzled.
Yunhe thought for a moment and explained it in the simplest terms: "Legend has it that the chosen one is the one who can command the world. Whoever gets such a person by their side will inevitably unify the four kingdoms. So, Miss, you must keep this secret and not let anyone with ulterior motives find out that the Spirit Scroll has recognized you as its master."
Unification of the four countries?
Qian Youxue frowned, thinking that perhaps the monstrous talent had approached her because of such ambition. It was perfectly normal for someone as powerful as him to be ambitious. If that was the case, she could help him. Unifying the four kingdoms would surely bring him many treasures. Perhaps she could even obtain an even more powerful spatial treasure and return to her past world.
She missed her computer, the beaches of Hawaii, the food in City A, and even more so, the doghouse where she had lived for so many years.
