345: Why is it you? !

Bing Ling immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot and closed her eyes.

The surrounding Immortal Qi surged towards her, and her Aura began to rise at a visible rate.

She was like a black hole, greedily absorbing the Immortal Qi here.

If anyone else had been present, they would have surely gaped in astonishment.

She could actually absorb Immortal Qi!

One must know that even a Second Realm powerhouse could not directly absorb the Immortal Qi here; they could only absorb source crystals.

Su Xiaobai's lips curved slightly. His Revered Master was indeed a descendant of Immortals; her Bloodline was a Rank higher than theirs, allowing her to directly absorb this Immortal Qi as nourishment.

Earlier, because there were many people here, she had kept it hidden, not revealing any clues.

Now, she could absorb it unrestrainedly.

Half an hour later.

With a muffled sound, a boom echoed.

Bing Ling exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, the flush on her cheeks receded, and her Cultivation entered a stable period.

In just half an hour, she had broken through from First Realm to First Realm!

This speed made even Su Xiaobai envious, jealous, and hateful.

He couldn't even imagine, if Revered Master had stayed in the Secluded Heaven to Cultivate all this time, she would probably be in the Third Realm by now, right?

Bing Ling opened her eyes, looked at Su Xiaobai, and smiled, "I sensed the location of the source crystal. I'll take you there."

Su Xiaobai immediately nodded excitedly, "Okay!"

When they first entered this place, Bing Ling had transmitted a message to him, saying she felt several particularly rich Auras calling to her.

Su Xiaobai immediately realized that it must be the Aura emitted by the source crystal!

Only Revered Master, who possessed the Bloodline of an Immortal, could sense this Aura.

He couldn't describe how excited he was at the time; having Revered Master with him was like having a human treasure detector.

They could completely avoid wandering around aimlessly like others, relying on luck to find treasures.

...

The outer area of the Secluded Heaven was vast, equivalent to half a continent of the Great Zhou.

If not for all the Supreme Realm powerhouses present—of course, excluding King Ming—just the journey alone would have been enough to last until the Secluded Heaven closed.

One must know that the Secluded Heaven was only open for ten days; every minute and every second was precious.

Bing Ling led Su Xiaobai flying north. Along the way, they often discovered a crystal-like object, entirely blue and very beautiful.

Su Xiaobai recognized it at a glance; this was the source crystal!

He immediately pulled out a sack and packed all these source crystals to take them away.

After only twenty minutes of travel, he had already collected thirty source crystals! This was a huge sum of money.

One must know that although the source crystals Su Xiaobai collected were only the most common yellow-grade source crystals, absorbing one yellow-grade source crystal's energy was equivalent to one month of his own Cultivation.

Thirty pieces were already equivalent to two and a half years of Cultivation!

Besides these, there were also xuan grade source crystals, earth grade source crystals, and the rarest Heaven-Grade Source Crystals.

There were a total of four types of source crystals.

They were divided into four Ranks: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow.

One xuan grade source crystal was equivalent to one year of Cultivation, one earth grade source crystal corresponded to ten years of Cultivation, and a Heaven-Grade Source Crystal was even more, up to one hundred years of Cultivation!

One Heaven-Grade Source Crystal was enough to stir up a bloody storm.

If others knew they had collected thirty source crystals within just an hour of entering here, their eyes would probably turn red with envy.

And all of this was thanks to Bing Ling's special Physique, who guided him to treasures along the way.

Therefore, to prevent others from discovering Bing Ling's uniqueness and causing unnecessary trouble, the two of them had been sneaking around, extremely discreet, all along the way.

"Xiaobai, I feel a huge energy attracting me ahead."

Suddenly, Bing Ling turned around and pointed to a dilapidated palace in front, saying.

"How big is it?" Su Xiaobai asked.

"Hmm..." Bing Ling pondered for a moment, "Bigger than yours."

"???"

"It's probably a hundred times the energy of the source crystals on you," Bing Ling added.

Su Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief. So it was a source crystal; he had thought it was something else.

"One hundred times the amount, that should be the earth grade source crystal, which Ranks second. One piece is equivalent to ten years of Cultivation.

Revered Master, we've really found a great treasure! Let's go in quickly!"

He took the lead, excitedly flying towards the dilapidated palace.

Bing Ling smiled helplessly and then followed.

This palace was exceptionally vast and incredibly sturdy. Even though its exterior was dilapidated, its overall structure remained intact.

It looked like an old, dilapidated house that had fallen into disrepair but was still habitable.

This alone showed that the owner of this grand hall, before the destruction of the Heavenly Court, was also a person of significant standing.

Su Xiaobai arrived at the main entrance and reached out to push open the door, which carried the weight of historical vicissitudes.

Instantly.

A dazzling white light blurred his vision.

Su Xiaobai instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes.

When his vision cleared again, he was already in a completely different world.

Upon seeing the scene before him, his body trembled violently.

This was a simple but cozy house.

The floor was covered with pristine white tiles, the clock on the wall ticked, and in front of the living room was a 65-inch television playing a variety show.

Su Xiaobai stood frozen in place.

The scene before him, though distant, he had never forgotten.

Wasn't this his home before his Transmigration!

Had he Transmigrated back?

"No," Su Xiaobai shook his head, clearing his mind, "I shouldn't Transmigrate back so easily. This is most likely some kind of illusion."

Crunch... crunch...

Just then, from the sofa in the center of the living room, came the sound of potato chips being crunched, as if someone was eating potato chips there.

Su Xiaobai looked in the direction of the sound.

The person wore a hoodie with rabbit ears, facing away from him, so her face was unclear.

But she had a pair of straight, slender legs propped on the coffee table. Although it was not elegant, her delicate and small jade feet were like works of art, pleasing to the eye.

He was sure that the person sitting on the sofa was a woman.

"Why is there someone in my house?"

Su Xiaobai frowned. His mother had passed away when he was very young, and he had always lived alone.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

Since this was an illusion, could the person on the sofa be his deceased mother!

His heart couldn't help but tense up a bit. Although he knew it was an illusion, deep down, he still longed to see his mother one last time.

In his memory, his mother's appearance was already blurry, but he still remembered that she was a beautiful, gentle, and kind person. She was like an angel, meticulously caring for him.

She endured the disdain of those around her and single-handedly raised him through hardship.

At that time, he secretly resolved that when he grew up, he would earn a lot of money, buy his mother a big house, buy her the most beautiful flowers, and make her the happiest person in the world.

But before he could fulfill this wish, a sudden car accident took his mother's life. He didn't even get to see her one last time.

From that day on, his life seemed to lose its luster.

To this day, this remained his regret.

He stretched out his hand, his steps faltering as he walked towards the sofa.

Even though he knew this was an illusion, he still wanted to see his mother one last time...

"Mom... Mother..." he called softly.

The person on the sofa seemed to hear his call and turned her head sideways.

It was a face that could make fish sink and wild geese fall, making heaven and earth lose their luster, no less beautiful than an empress.

She had long white hair, dark red pupils, and a delicate, high nose bridge as if carved by a knife.

There were still some potato chip crumbs on the corner of her mouth, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness to her demeanor.

"Did you bring back the instant noodles I asked you to buy for me?"

The white-haired girl looked at him, her voice clear and melodious.

Su Xiaobai almost jumped, his face filled with terror.

"Why is it you, woman!!!"
