119: Chapter 119 is a real pity.
Being able to come to the Cangqiong Secret Realm was fortunate, thanks to Holy Lord Xu Yan possessing the key to the spatial formation; otherwise, their group would truly have been unable to enter.
Due to the gale in the sky, they dared not risk flying. If Qingluan had not been with them, Ye Xuan and Lin Qingzhu could have risked attempting it.
"Ah..."
In a moment of carelessness, Qingluan, who was behind Ye Xuan, accidentally stepped on a stone and fell directly onto Ye Xuan's back.
"Senior Brother, it hurts so much, I sprained my ankle."
"Little Moon, are you okay? Let me take a look."
Ye Xuan carefully scooped up Qingluan in his arms, placed her on a safe spot nearby, and then crouched down.
Fortunately, having spirit stones to replenish Mystic Power allowed them to create a safe area here.
"Senior Brother, my foot hurts so much. Could you help me rub it?"
The opportunity had arrived, and Qingluan certainly would not let it pass; a hint of cunning flashed in her crescent-shaped eyes.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan looked at Lin Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, come and support Little Moon while I check how her foot is doing."
Once everything was ready, Ye Xuan gently removed the shoe from her foot, wanting to see where the injury was.
"Junior Martial Uncle Little Moon, are you faking it?" Lin Qingzhu felt a bit strange and suspiciously transmitted her voice to Qingluan beside her.
"Nonsense! I clearly fell down just now, you saw it too. It's possible that it's because I twisted my ankle at Sword Immortal Peak last time."
Qingluan shook her head vigorously in reply.
Ye Xuan checked and indeed saw a slightly reddish area, which should have been the sprained part.
"Come on, Little Moon, Senior Brother will carry you." Ye Xuan crouched down in front of Qingluan, allowing her to rest properly on his back.
"Detestable..."
Seeing this, Lin Qingzhu immediately wore an unhappy expression. What was supposed to be a nice date had been disrupted by Little Moon, turning it into a solo performance for the two of them.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingzhu stomped her little foot in anger and could only follow after them.
As for our Little Moon, she wore a look of comfort, her arms wrapped around Ye Xuan's neck and her legs coiled around his waist, as if expressing a certain sentiment.
"Hmph, anyway, Senior Brother promised me that he would carry me to Sword Immortal Peak every day in the future. Since we aren't going to Sword Immortal Peak now, but to the Cangqiong Secret Realm, I still want Senior Brother to carry me!"
An hour later, Lin Qingzhu seized the opportunity, walked up to Ye Xuan, and said sweetly: "Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan, how about letting your niece carry Junior Martial Uncle Little Moon instead? You've been carrying her for so long, you must be tired."
"I'll carry her."
Ye Xuan didn't think too much and did not agree to Lin Qingzhu's words. If he really let Lin Qingzhu carry Qingluan, he feared that within half an hour, the two women would start bickering, which would not be worth the trouble.
"Hmph, Junior Martial Uncle Little Moon, you really can put on an act!" Lin Qingzhu could only transmit her voice to Qingluan again, her voice full of anger, her pretty face flushed with rage.
Who knew that after hearing these words, Qingluan became even more excessive, resting her little head on Ye Xuan's back, completely disregarding her own proud figure.
Along the way, although the three appeared calm on the surface, in reality, the two women were fighting fiercely behind the scenes.
Of course, the one who suffered a setback this time was naturally Lin Qingzhu, because she still never found a suitable reason to separate Qingluan and Ye Xuan.
However, after traveling for so long.
They had finally arrived at the location recorded for the azure dragon undying herb.
An ancient green mountain stood here like a towering giant.
"According to the treasure map for the azure dragon undying herb, the location indicated is right here."
Gazing at the green mountain before them, Lin Qingzhu handed the treasure map in her hand to Ye Xuan.
"Have we arrived?" Ye Xuan carefully set Qingluan down from his back.
Our Little Moon stretched, feeling that this trip to the Cangqiong Secret Realm was well worth it; being able to sleep on Senior Brother's back was truly wonderful.
"Next, let me accompany you, Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan, to go up. Junior Martial Uncle Little Moon can just wait for us below."
How could Lin Qingzhu let this opportunity pass? She hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Ye Xuan's arm.
"No, I want to go up too." Seeing the two of them, Qingluan certainly would not let Senior Brother be alone with that bad woman, Lin Qingzhu.
Ye Xuan saw that they were on the verge of quarreling, so he couldn't help but pat Lin Qingzhu's little hand and said gently: "Qingzhu, you stay below and keep Little Moon company. She has no cultivation; if she encounters danger, I won't be able to answer to Master when I return."
"Alright."
Lin Qingzhu felt that what Ye Xuan said was right. Even though she and Qingluan were not on good terms now, after all, they were still good friends, and she didn't want to see Qingluan get hurt.
Walking in front of the mountain, Ye Xuan immediately felt a trace of peculiarity, so he took out the zhu xian sword and the Golden Hand he had obtained from Lin Feng last time, and stabbed the hard mountain repeatedly.
He soon discovered something wrong; it was pierced through very easily. What did this mean? It meant that the cliff wall in front of him was very likely just an illusion.
"Senior Brother, be careful."
"Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan, slow down, don't be in a rush."
Qingluan and Lin Qingzhu watched as half of Ye Xuan's body disappeared inside, and they shouted anxiously.
Entering the interior space of the mountain was very smooth, but the wind pressure inside was extremely high, at least thirty times that of the outside world. Fortunately, things were different now, and Ye Xuan was wearing a full set of Heaven-grade Mystic Tools, so he was not afraid of the pressure from these wind gales.
Then, he walked step by step into the interior, following the guidance of the map.
After half an hour, the wind gales around him finally dissipated completely, and a medicinal field radiating the aura of life appeared before Ye Xuan's eyes.
Additionally, there were several dilapidated wooden huts and a rotten grandmaster chair in front of the medicinal field, all of which proved how vibrant this place once was.
A decaying wooden plaque caught Ye Xuan's attention, with a few large characters written on it—Divine Dragon Sacred Sect. Looking at the lingering aura on it, it was almost indistinguishable from a Saint.
The washing of time had instead added an ancient flavor to this place, and traces of residual Saintly pressure were still patrolling nearby.
"The azure dragon undying herb and the light profound power seed should both be here, right?"
Ye Xuan muttered to himself and began to wander around the medicinal field, trying to find clues.
A secluded pond radiating an icy aura caught Ye Xuan's gaze.
"What is this? Such pure icy aura."
Regardless of what it was, Ye Xuan knew that taking this thing away would certainly not be a loss, so he stuffed it all into an empty spirit ring.
Inside a small formation, there were still dozens of spirit stones radiating Light Profound Power stored, which made Ye Xuan happy again. With these spirit stones, the Ice Phoenix egg inside the spirit ring had the possibility of hatching early.
The spirit stones that were originally placed next to the Ice Phoenix egg were all replaced by Ye Xuan with Light Profound Power spirit stones.
Ye Xuan also entered the few small wooden huts. The ancient books and some ancient scrolls that might have been Mystic Techniques had all turned to dust; there was no time to record them, which was indeed a pity.
