522: Take action to seize the treasure!

Ling'er also seemed to realize her impropriety; her face instantly became awkward, and she lowered her head, quickly walking to sit by the bonfire, no longer daring to look at Lu Hao.

Lu Hao also walked to sit by the bonfire, and the two began to chat desultorily.

Ling'er started asking Lu Hao all sorts of questions, from his Cultivation experiences to the strange and interesting anecdotes he encountered, asking about each and every one.

Aside from not revealing his Origin or his System, Lu Hao honestly confessed everything else under Ling'er's persistent questioning.

Ling'er, as if wanting to understand Lu Hao completely, asked one question after another without stopping.

Lu Hao was initially happy to chat, patiently answering each question, but later, he found himself a bit overwhelmed, so he diverted the topic to Ling'er.

Ling'er also began to add things she hadn't told Lu Hao yet.

The two chatted like this until very late, and Lu Hao only felt waves of sleepiness washing over him.

Physiologically speaking, Lu Hao wasn't actually tired; with his Half-Immortal Artifact Cultivation, he no longer needed any sleep. This sleepiness was merely his psychological feeling, a habit.

However, given that they were a man and a woman alone in a room, he couldn't just go to sleep directly.

At this moment, all the lights in the entire town had long since extinguished, and everyone in the town should have entered sweet dreams.

The surroundings were silent, with only the occasional "crackling" sound from the bonfire.

By the pond, a gentle breeze softly brushed by, and the green leaves rustled against each other, making a whispering sound.

Specks of starlight were reflected on the water's surface, rippling with the breeze, as if countless broken diamonds were twinkling.

From time to time, a few croaks of frogs came from the pond, breaking the night's tranquility, yet adding a touch of vitality to this serene evening.

Ling'er gazed at the pond, her eyes momentarily unfocused, and deep within her heart, an inexplicable feeling of peace arose spontaneously.

It seemed that ever since her Immortal Ascension, her heart had never been so peaceful, so serene. This feeling made her feel unfamiliar, yet she yearned for it immensely.

The two chatted like this until just before dawn, when a sliver of fish-belly white appeared on the horizon.

Lu Hao looked at the sky and said with a smile:

"Come with me."

After speaking, his body slightly floated up, and he had already flown towards the peak of a mountain.

Seeing this, Ling'er didn't think much of it and quickly got up to follow him.

The two arrived at the mountaintop, quietly waiting for the sunrise.

At this moment, the sky was still dim, and the earth seemed to be still asleep.

Lu Hao looked at Ling'er beside him and softly said:

"Ling'er, when the sun rises later, try to imagine yourself as a Mortal, and feel the beauty of this sunrise, feel the beauty of this world."

Imagine herself as a Mortal? Ling'er was a bit puzzled, but she still nodded, her eyes fixed on the eastern sky.

Gradually, a faint red line appeared in the eastern sky, like a thin ribbon connecting the sky and the earth.

The red line grew brighter and brighter, and the surrounding clouds were also dyed a faint red.

Immediately after, a corner of the sun slowly emerged from below the horizon, like a shy child, cautiously peeking at this world.

The sunlight spilled onto Ling'er's face, making her eyes sparkle. She briefly forgot that she was a Cultivator, and gradually, an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

It was a burst of vitality, a love for life; everything seemed to re-energize at this moment.

Time slowly passed, and the entire sky was dyed golden yellow. The earth was illuminated, and the previously dim world became bright again. Dewdrops on flowers and trees sparkled with colorful light under the sunlight.

Ling'er looked at everything before her; her withered heart seemed to receive some sunlight at this moment, warming her.

She turned her head and looked at Lu Hao beside her, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Brother, I saw the sunlight!"

Lu Hao didn't speak; he was also quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery... After a while, Lu Hao took a step and slowly walked towards the tavern he had inquired about from the old lady earlier.

Ling'er didn't ask much and immediately followed. In this manner, it was completely unrecognizable that she had been an Immortal not long ago!

From now on, she seemed to no longer be the aloof and indifferent Nether Immortal she once was, but had returned to a very long time ago, when her brother was still alive.

Ling'er was briefly in a daze, but then realized Lu Hao had already walked some distance away, so she quickly jogged a few steps to catch up with Lu Hao, saying as she ran:

"Brother, wait for me!"

...Yangqi Prefecture.

After receiving the treasures bestowed by Lu Hao, everyone was filled with uncontrollable excitement. With this ecstasy, a group of people boarded a ship and returned to Yangqi Prefecture in a grand procession.

On the shore of Yangqi Prefecture, the seawater gently lapped against the embankment, making rhythmic sounds.

Nineteen Yang Solid Cultivators leaped out of the ship, one after another, jumping onto the shore.

Stepping onto the familiar land of the shore, these Cultivators began their final exchanges.

However, it was basically just phrases like "see you next time if there's an opportunity" or "come visit me sometime," serving as a final farewell. Although everyone was a Cultivator from Yangqi Prefecture, many of them would not see each other many times.

Most people were somewhat anxious to return to their Sects and immediately enter secluded Cultivation.

After all, the treasures obtained from Lu Hao during this trip were truly invaluable. The fact that Wei Feiyu could attract all of them with a Dao-grade Top-Quality Magic Treasure earlier was enough to demonstrate the Magic Treasure's appeal to them!

Just by comprehending the Origin Qi emanating from the Magic Treasure, they felt that their long-stagnant Origin comprehension had begun to loosen, which would greatly assist in the improvement of their Cultivation.

Two or three minutes later, everyone began to leave.

But just then, an unexpected change suddenly occurred without warning!

The Pavilion Master of Jin Yang Pavilion, Jin Feng, looked at the Cultivators who were about to leave, and suddenly a meaningful smile appeared on his face. Then, his figure, like a ghost, instantly shot up into the air.

Everyone was puzzled for a moment and looked up.

He was dressed in a golden robe, which fluttered in the wind in mid-air. At first glance, he looked like a golden War God.

"Pavilion Master Jin, suddenly flying into the air, what is he going to do?"

Someone asked Jin Feng with a smile on his face, laughing cheerfully.

But he quickly stopped smiling.

Jin Feng suddenly unleashed his full Cultivation, and then the Half-Immortal Artifact in his hand flashed fiercely. In an instant, a giant golden sword appeared out of thin air, spanning above everyone's heads.
