Tiredness
Hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded. He deeply agreed that he had dealt with Kunlun many times. However, it could be said that he had become enemies with Kunlun many times, not only because Li Min hated him so much but also because of everything unspeakable between him and Yu Feiyan.
Would Kunlun lend the Immortal-slaying Whip to Xiao Yi?
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
However, how could Xiao Yi give up any chance of survival? He became serious and made up his mind. "No matter what, I have to go to Kunlun."
After that, Xiao Yi shook his hand and put the Sky-ghost body into the Square Gourd.
Seeing that Xiao Yi had made up his mind, Taoist Qingxuan nodded slightly, but he was still not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took out the piece of Soul Tree and released Zhong Xingchen's Nascent Soul Realm.
Zhong Xingchen's Nascent Soul Realm finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the ruins. The first thing he did was kneel on the ground and express his thanks to Xiao Yi and Taoist Qingxuan. "Thank you very much, Mr. Xiao. Thank you very much, Fellow Taoist Qingxuan. If it weren't for you risking your life to save me when I was in danger, I'm afraid I would have been dead already. I'm sure I'll do my best to repay you for your kindness in the future."
"Please stand up, Fellow Taoist Zhong. We, Taoists, all have the same roots. How can we stay calm when you are in trouble?" Taoist Qingxuan urged his True Energy in a hurry to lift Zhong Xingchen's Nascent Soul Realm. However, there seemed to be only one Nascent Soul Realm without a human body. Therefore, Taoist Qingxuan could not bear to see it.
Looking at Zhong Xingchen's Nascent Soul Realm, and then at the ancient body on the ground, Xiao Yi had an idea and said in a deep voice, "Senior Qingxuan, Senior Zhong lost the body, but now there is a suitable body. The ancient demon possessed this ancient corpse. I don't know what method he used to eliminate most restrictions. It is very suitable for him."
When Taoist Qingxuan heard Xiao Yi's words, he nodded in a hurry to agree. Obviously, he released Xingchen's Nascent Soul Realm in front of Xiao Yi just for that. However, Duanmu paid a heavy price to get this ancient corpse. How dare Taoist Qingxuan mention it first? Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi said this without hesitation, which excited Taoist Qingxuan.
However, upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, Zhong Xingchen's Nascent Soul Realm hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It can't be! Mr. Xiao and Brother Qingxuan have shown me good intentions, and I'm grateful for that. However, the ancient corpse's origin is extraordinary. I'm untalented. If this body is found by the Ancient Devil and even the disciples of this ancient corpse in the future, I'm afraid that our Kongtong Sect will be in trouble. We don't have the virtue of taking it, so we might suffer from it. Even with my nature and cultivation, I cannot carry this ancient corpse. Mr. Xiao and Brother Qingxuan have nothing to say. I'll look for another opportunity. I'll leave now!"
Unexpectedly, Zhong Xingchen's Nascent Soul Realm tried his best to evade. He bowed again to Xiao Yi and Taoist Qingxuan and then drove his flying sword to turn into a sword radiance, leaving immediately.
Seeing that Zhong Xingchen's Nascent Soul Realm was gone, Taoist Qingxuan felt quite regretful. He also said, "Fellow Taoist Zhong has always been cautious. It's not unreasonable to worry about it. However, the ancient corpse's meridians are connected. If evil people possess it, it'll be a bloody disaster in the future. Mr. Xiao, you'd better keep it."
Xiao Yi also did not expect that Zhong Xingchen's Nascent Soul Realm would leave quickly. He would rather find another opportunity than this ancient corpse. Presumably, this ancient corpse had an extraordinary origin, and the ancient devil had possessed it. Once it appeared in the world, countless disputes would be caused. In Zhong Xingchen's eyes, it was undoubtedly a disaster, not a blessing. It was still reasonable in the face of such temptation at a critical moment. Zhong Xingchen from Kongtong had a strong character.
However, in this situation, Xiao Yi was not afraid of getting into trouble. He thought for a while and said nothing more. With a flick of his hand, he put the ancient corpse into the Square Gourd.
After putting away the corpse, Xiao Yi also took out a wooden box with the Qiankun Fruit and handed it to the Taoist Qingxuan. He said calmly, "Senior, please keep this Qiankun Fruit!"
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao!" Taoist Qingxuan's eyes lit up, but he didn't say much. He accepted it calmly.
After a short conversation with the Taoist Qingxuan, Xiao Yi said goodbye to him. Then, he flew to Hai City on his flying sword with Gu Lu and Jiuer.
He didn't stay in Hai City for long. He just ordered Gu Lu to go back to the Dark Medical Sect. First, he needed it to report that he was safe. Second, Xiao Yi also worried about the safety of the Dark Medical Sect.
After parting with Gu Lu, Xiao Yi and Jiuer headed straight for the deserted island where Chen Yuanyuan was.
Chen Yuanyuan was good at foreseeing. She had already been waiting outside for a long time. Dressed in a cloth and with a head full of white hair, she looked like the most ordinary old mother, leaning on the door and waiting.
She saw that Xiao Yi and Jiuer were coming over on their flying swords. Jiuer was not hurt and she had even broken through to the Foundation-building Realm. Chen Yuanyuan was overjoyed. The wrinkles on her face seemed to ease. She asked in surprise, "Jiuer, you've broken through to the Foundation-building Realm?"
"Mother!" When Jiuer saw Chen Yuanyuan, she immediately threw herself into Chen Yuanyuan's arms. After a while, she happily said: "Yes, mother. A few days ago, when we cultivated together, Young Master helped me breakthrough."
Chen Yuanyuan kept nodding her head and couldn't keep her mouth shut.
However, Xiao Yi stepped forward and said, "Senior, the trip to the ancient ruins this time is not as simple as breaking through the Foundation-building Realm."
"Oh?" Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but look at Jiuer carefully, but she didn't find anything unusual.
"Senior, let's talk inside!" While speaking, Xiao Yi entered the tomb with Chen Yuanyuan and Jiuer. He told Chen Yuanyuan at once that Jiuer had retrieved the Devil God Sword.
Chen Yuanyuan was stunned. She didn't expect that the number one devil weapon in the demon world would be taken into her daughter's body. The luck of this matter made Chen Yuanyuan's face change for a long time, but she also knew that everything had a fate. This was the fate of Jiuer, and it was also the fate of the Devil God Sword, and it should be like this.
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but stroke Jiuer's hair and said softly, "Good girl, remember Xiao Yi's words, and don't show the Devil God Sword in front of others unless it's necessary."
"I understand!" She gently nodded her head and glanced at Xiao Yi. Then, she happily took out a wooden box and placed it in front of Chen Yuanyuan. With a smile, she said: "Mother, Young Master asked me to give this to you."
"Oh?" Chen Yuanyuan was slightly stunned. She immediately opened the wooden box in Jiuer's hand. An unusual fragrance instantly rushed into her nose. Chen Yuanyuan was slightly stunned, and then she looked into the box. Her face changed greatly, and she looked at Xiao Yi and shouted, "The Qiankun Fruit? This is the one that can increase one's lifespan?"
Chen Yuanyuan was old, but her cultivation progress was slow, which had always been a worry for her. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi and Jiuer brought her the Qiankun Fruit. How could Chen Yuanyuan not be overjoyed? Thinking she could accompany her daughter in the world, Chen Yuanyuan's eyes turned red with excitement. She immediately stood up and was about to thank Xiao Yi.
However, she was hastily stopped by Xiao Yi.
"Senior, the Qiankun Fruit can increase one's lifespan. I've even found all the Spiritual Medicine to refine the Chaos Divine Pill this time. With the help of the Chaos Divine Pill, it's just around the corner for you to make a breakthrough," said Xiao Yi with a smile.
Chen Yuanyuan was pleasantly surprised by Xiao Yi's words. She immediately prepared a quiet room for him to refine pills according to Xiao Yi's request.
Before refining the pill, Xiao Yi took Jiuer's pulse again. The pulse showed that Jiuer's body was full of Yin Qi. Her cultivation had broken through the Foundation-building Realm, so her ability to withstand Yin Qi was much better than before.
Xiao Yi didn't hurry to refine his pills. Instead, he sat opposite Jiuer and began the Dual Cultivation.
A moment later, he and Jiuer clasped each other's hands. They were in a situation where there was nothing and no one else.
In the blink of an eye, all of the anxiety, pain, and uneasiness that had been brought to the ancient ruins were dispelled by the gentle and calm aura of Jiuer.
At this moment, the heaven and earth were quiet. Only Yin and Yang auras could be sensed, intertwining and fusing.
When the Dual Cultivation was over, Jiuer adjusted her breathing evenly. When she opened her eyes, she found Xiao Yi asleep on her lap.
Sleep was completely non-essential to the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm Realm cultivators like Xiao Yi. Most of the cultivators knew that cultivation was in defiance of the natural order and that it was a matter of life and death against the Heavens. They all understood that the foundation of cultivation was too slow. Therefore, they could only meditate and practice cultivation at any moment.
As for Xiao Yi, he could fall into a deep sleep. It was obvious that he was too tired.
In the past few days, he had been scared out of his wits and turned the tide countless times. In times of crisis, he saved everyone and encountered extremely painful emotional injuries. His heart was burdened with too much, and he was physically and mentally exhausted.
Jiuer didn't wake up Xiao Yi. Instead, she reached out with her small white hands and caressed his resolute and angular face. Inadvertently, a warm current flowed through her heart.
Xiao Yi slept soundly throughout the night. The moment he opened his eyes, he found himself in the arms of Jiuer and suddenly jumped up in shock.
"Young Master, are you awake?" Jiuer blinked her clear eyes and said with a smile.
"I'm ashamed. I fell asleep." Xiao Yi's face was slightly red.
"Yes, you are too tired." Jiuer gently said. Once her cultivation was complete, she lightly stood up.
Xiao Yi found that Jiuer's cultivation had increased again. On the other hand, he was also full of True Energy. He was refreshed, and his cultivation had also improved. Although it was not as obvious as Jiuer, he was still happy.
"In this state, refining the Chaos Divine Pill will definitely yield twice the result with half the effort!" Xiao Yi was full of energy and didn't want to waste more time. He immediately burned incense with his bare hands and went into the pill refining room alone.
