Chapter 476 Red Peony
"Ah."
The three disappeared from the spot.
Inside the Heavenly Heart Ring, Feng Siyue sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully digging with the shrunken Moon Ripple in her hands.
"I never expected you to actually get the Wood of Immortality."
The moon sighed.
The little girl's eyes lit up when she got her hands on the Everlasting Wood.
"With it, Ah Li's last remaining wisp of soul can be properly nurtured. If the materials are sufficient, I can recreate a top-tier body for her. At that time..."
"So, you're planning to learn weapon crafting?"
A newly formed body can only be achieved through weapon crafting in very rare cases.
"Yes."
"But you don't have a golden spiritual root."
Feng Siyue smiled.
"In this world, there is no reason why only those with a metal spiritual root can forge weapons. Aren't the puppets of the Mu family also made with a wood spiritual root?"
Yue Shang suddenly realized, "So that's why you went to so much trouble to find this person."
Yue Shangyi carved a one-finger-wide groove into the longevity wood in Feng Siyue's hand.
She looked up, smiled, and stretched out her hand. The purple soul fragment, which was only as thick as a hair and was quietly floating in mid-air, came to her palm as if guided.
"Ah Li, we will meet again someday."
Feng Siyue placed the fragment into the groove. The moment it entered her body, the purple fragment flashed with golden binding chains, binding the fragment to the Everlasting Wood.
After finishing everything, Feng Siyue placed the Longevity Wood in the bamboo house and returned to the core area.
"You just said there were several fluctuations in the central and peripheral areas?"
Qingqing nodded. "Yes, but his breathing is very weak and unstable. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Feng Siyue shook her head.
"I almost lost my life in those two alternate dimensions. I'll deal with the rest later. Since they're not guided by divine or demonic power, they're unlikely to be discovered."
Next year, people from Chaoyang Holy Palace might come in.
"It's up to you, I'm fine with anything."
Qingqing yawned.
The relentless work day and night these past few days has made it sleepy. "I'm going to take a nap. Call me if there's any danger."
"Go."
...........
The central and outer regions.
"Luo Yi, where is your master?"
As the group walked, Xie Changling suddenly asked about this matter.
master?
Looking at Ge Fei, it seemed there was such a thing?
"My master and I will each go our separate ways to train, without interfering with each other."
"separate?"
“Even the outer perimeter of Lu Rongtai is extremely dangerous. Too many cultivators have lost their lives to the jaws of ferocious beasts on our way here. They all wish they could band together and fight their way out. How come you, master, are so careless as to go alone?”
The search for the Everlasting Wood was a top secret. Even Xie Changling repeatedly assured that he would not tell outsiders before he learned of it, so Ge Fei, who joined the group halfway through, knew even less about it.
He just felt that the girl's master was too arrogant.
Yan Nanfei offered no explanation, saying, "Master's cultivation is formidable; he must have his own reasons for leaving alone."
As dusk fell and she noticed it was getting dark, she said, "It's getting late, let's find a place to rest."
Xie Changling: "Either is fine."
They said they wanted to find a place to rest, but there were no trees or stones in this place. Yan Nanfei's so-called rest was just sitting under the sky and on the ground, meditating.
Ge Fei took out some pastries stored in his ring and ate them, making no attempt to hide his idea of having a spatial ring. "Luo Yi, it's late, don't be so coy."
If you're out there experiencing trials and training, how can you relax?
Yan Nanfei closed his eyes and silently circulated his inner energy, without answering his question.
Xie Changling pulled him aside and whispered something that wasn't quite a whisper, "Luo Yi is cultivating, don't disturb her."
Ge Fei was dissatisfied.
"Hey, hey, hey, we've been brothers for years, how can you be so biased when you have someone you like?"
Xie Changling frowned slightly and said in a warning tone,
"Gefei!"
"Damn it!"
Ge Fei helplessly raised his hands, "Can't I just be quieter?"
"Whoosh~ Bang!"
Blood-red peony fireworks exploded in the northeast direction, dazzling and spectacular.
Ge Fei looked up. "Huh, whose signal flare is that?"
Xie Changling looked up and, upon seeing the familiar peony flowers, subconsciously glanced at the person meditating.
But when he looked around, there was no one there.
About twenty kilometers northeast of Yan Nanfei, on a plain, three young men and women dressed in black were surrounded by more than a dozen sect disciples.
"Hey, you guys don't actually think that sending out some kind of signal flare will let you get out of here alive?"
"Whimsical!"
"Second Senior Brother is right! If you know what's good for you, hand over your cultivation techniques right now!"
"Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
"Hahaha! Third Senior Brother, I was hoping they wouldn't hand it in! Look how pretty that girl is!"
"It'll definitely be a lot of fun!"
"Seventh Junior Brother, with your reputation soaring, be careful not to catch a disease!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Their unrestrained use of foul language caused the baby-faced girl among the three to unconsciously tighten her grip on the knife.
These three people are Gu Zhu and his two companions.
Time goes back to just now.
When they tried to rest and recuperate, they were unfortunately spotted by several ferocious beasts that were almost at the level of a Spirit Emperor!
The three of them—Gu Zhuling, a Spirit King at the eighth level; Luo Wu, a Spirit King at the third level; and Xiao Qi, who had only recently advanced to Spirit King—were inherently fraught with danger in dealing with them!
Left with no other choice, they joined forces with their contracted beasts to use their ultimate techniques, barely managing to disperse them despite their superior strength!
However, because of this, their unique skills aroused the covetousness of these people, who not only attacked without saying a word but also seriously injured Luo Er and kept spouting wild words!
How could Xiao Qi possibly tolerate this?!
Just as she was about to make a move, Luo Er grabbed her.
"Xiao Qi, don't be impulsive!"
Gu Zhu clutched her injured abdomen, her face pale.
Xiao Qi panicked, "Second Senior Brother, they've gone too far! Why won't you let me teach them a lesson?!"
The young man looked at the people surrounding them.
"Little Seven, there are thirteen people here. Four have reached the seventh level of the Spirit King realm, three are above the seventh level, five are around the fourth level, and there is even one that I cannot see through!"
"Taking action rashly will not do us any good!"
Is there someone even the second senior brother can't see through?
Wouldn't that be...
Xiao Qi was still young, only fifteen or sixteen years old. Hearing his second senior brother say such things, he couldn't help but panic.
"Senior brother, what should we do?"
While they were pondering, the taciturn boy beside them had already fired the signal flare.
Xiao Qi was startled.
Fifth Senior Brother, didn't Eldest Senior Sister say...?
Luo Wu looked at her,
"The situation is very unfavorable for us. We have exhausted most of our spiritual energy in the battle against the ferocious beast. We must seek help now!"
Gu Zhu also said, "That's right."
Then came the following mockery.
Luo Wu glanced at the people around him, took out a large handful of talismans from his storage bag, and began chanting incantations.
"Heaven and earth shift, the East transforms into the West, suppress!"
Countless talismans flew out, forming a huge talisman array around the three of them!
