Chapter 27
"Nothing much, just some fresh fruit and nuts, and... a sandwich and milk." All she could make were simple things.
But things were different now. For the first time, Ye Qing felt a sense of urgency. Facing many unknown horrors while possessing numerous divine artifacts and even immortal treasures, Ye Qing understood the principle that an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. He could not expect everyone to be as indifferent to his immortal treasures as those three were.
The trio drew closer and closer to the location of the Divine Bridge, while Jin Zhan and his two companions followed closely behind. Lu Tao and Qin Yao, in particular, kept their eyes fixed on Ying Chu'er and Lin Yu without a moment's blink.
"The Demon Blood Flower placed in the jade box is a six-petaled Demon Blood Flower." After the explanation, Zhuo Shiyan stared fixedly at Lin Wushuang.
He responded to each of their questions one by one. However, he answered only what they asked, without a single superfluous word.
Jiang Zhuoning finally felt liberated. He exhaled a long sigh and brushed his arm, as if trying to wipe away some unseen filth.
"No, you don't need to give me any compensation. It has been such a long time, and I thank you for your trust in me..." Lin Su said with a gentle smile softening her face.
Moreover, her sharp eyes caught a few wild chrysanthemums peeking out and swaying in the corner of the wall.
Although she was not particularly fond of studying, she had stopped playing around much since being with Jiang Zhuoning, and her attendance rate was quite good.
If I am not willing to be with you, what is the point of forcibly binding me to your side?
"I copied this secretly. Memorize it and then destroy it!" Uncle Fu looked at Lin Ge, his eyes filled with such tenderness, as if he were looking at his own child.
"Yes, that's right. There is a drop of Life Milk in here. However, the main effect of the Spring of Life and Life Milk is to extend one's lifespan and restore bodily functions to their youthful state; enhancing one's talent is not their primary purpose," Chen Xing explained.
Lost in her obsession, Zhang Xuan had completely forgotten that Gu Jinzhen had sent people to make her face the consequences, not to deliver sweet nothings.
"His name is Snowball, he is my friend." Ye Tong introduced him with a smile and patted Snowball's back in praise.
Although they had such a sacred object as the Spring of Life, Ouyang Jing's recovery was extremely difficult. After all, the poison of a "Poison Person" was no ordinary toxin. Chen Xing discovered that this poison possessed strong adhesive properties; ordinary primordial energy could rarely clear it and might even be drawn back into the healer's own body.
A shock! Too shocking! A single strike had sent a Golden Core stage cultivator flying! What kind of cultivation level was this?
The old emperor sat above, calm and unruffled, watching with satisfaction as the expressions of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's family turned dark.
"Wipe that unnecessary look off your face and speak properly!" Su Chun gritted his teeth, his expression as gloomy as a dark river.
But Lin Ge did not know this yet. After leaving the great hall, he began preparations to ascend above the Thousand Clouds.
No, that was not it. She meant, shouldn't Jun Wuyao have directly rejected this meaningless consort selection activity?
"Report, my lord, something terrible has happened!" Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from the teleportation array. A player was seen sprinting from it.
Although the angels had awakened their bloodline potential and evolved Wings of Time and Space, gaining the power to command the sky and nature, it was not enough.
The man was tough. Despite the unbearable pain, his handsome face twisting, he kept his teeth clenched and did not utter a single sound.
Everything in the world seemed to have come to a standstill. They saw only each other; the other person was their entire world.
Once Emperor Jingxuan left, the palace attendants beside Ning Huan and Princess Qing'an retreated to the side, leaving only the two of them in the garden pavilion.
Sitting there, I felt like a different person. It was as if the Earth God himself had manifested; the geomancy, the terrestrial energy, the mountains and rivers—all were under my command. My body and mind were in perfect harmony with the Earth's magnetic field. In this ultimate state of unity between heaven and man, I was no longer human; I was heaven itself.
However, none of them had the heart to fight now. Although they had gathered at the Black Water Abyss, they remained at peace.
Zhang Wu leaped seven or eight meters, his heels digging into the ground to steady himself upon landing. He plowed deep furrows into the rocky ground as if it were mere turf. His blood and energy surged, leaving him dizzy and disoriented. His palms bled, the webs between his thumbs and fingers split, his right hand swelled up like a pig's trotter, and blood dripped from his insteps.
Although Liu Ji often slipped away to the residence of the Lady of Guo in the same ward in the middle of the night, he always returned to his dwelling before the morning bell rang.
Discovering another bright spot in Lin Xiao, Su Zhe and Yi Tianyun felt even more confident about facilitating the marriage.
A scene that felt strangely familiar suddenly visited his eyes. Recalling when he might have encountered it, he realized with a start that it had been in a dream.
The three walked out of the No. 3 Teaching Building and, led by Qi Xueshan, headed toward a white, single-story bungalow not far away.
"In the Primordial Era, that wasn't called 'cultivation of truth,' but 'cultivation of immortality.' The concept of 'cultivation of truth' only appeared after the ancient times, though it can be considered a form of creation," the Blood Demon King corrected.
The Pure Land of Mount Shu had originally been guarding outside the Soul-Entrancing Pass, fearing that practitioners of other traditions might break in. It was only after this incident that they temporarily relocated to the summit of Mount Wawa.
The righteous path had inadvertently created such a desperate land. This was no longer their original intent; rather, heaven and earth were assisting, seemingly helping to eradicate Li Qing, such a peerless great demon lord.
A colorful phoenix gradually took shape. Upon closer inspection, its five-colored feathers were all forged from spear blades, all shimmering with a chilling, cold light.
Zhang Xun, shooting backward, poured a vast amount of primordial energy into his limbs. His arms swung in a circle like he was embracing the moon, and after one rotation, he seemed to grab onto something solid, fixing his body firmly in mid-air.
While others felt envy and jealousy, Master Shen looked as though he had swallowed bitter grass, his face grim. Though he was not afraid, offending a major power over a single sentence felt sickening no matter how he looked at it.
After the Prefect of Tiandu, Gan Suning, reported the situation at Lanyue Villa from the previous night, Lin Xiao ordered a strict investigation. Everything remained calm and tranquil until a report of victory arrived.
