129: Leaving the desert, mortise and tenon joints!
Bai Lingxi rested on Su Yang for a while.
Her physical strength recovered slightly.
Bai Lingxi got up from Su Yang.
She quickly used Water Control Art to deal with the lingering issues.
Her movements were very fast, but Su Yang saw everything he needed to see.
It has to be said, this woman was truly breathtakingly beautiful, both in appearance and temperament she was exquisite.
It was a pity that such a woman was actually the Sect Master of the Demonic Path's Hehuan Sect.
"What are you looking at? It's all yours, yet you still have the nerve to look!"
Bai Lingxi gave him a roll of her eyes, feigning composure.
Su Yang shrugged and said, "Since it's mine, why shouldn't I have the nerve to look? However, a man's thing is only worth looking at when it's given to a woman, otherwise, it's meaningless."
Bai Lingxi gave him another roll of her eyes.
She originally wanted to retort, 'If you dare to release it without my permission again, I'll kill you,' but then she thought about it and swallowed the words.
She would have to Dual Cultivate with him for the next 2000 years, and it felt like this situation was unavoidable.
Moreover... that spiritual liquid was greatly beneficial to her Cultivation.
And also... Su Yang had opened a whole new door for her, giving her, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, a wonderful understanding of the true meaning of Hehuan.
Bai Lingxi gave him a meaningful glance, her eyes carrying a thought-provoking tenderness.
"What are you looking at now?"
Su Yang saw her gaze was hazy and teased her.
Bai Lingxi calmly withdrew her gaze and said to him, "The Spiritual Qi of the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring has been completely absorbed by you, and now it is ravenously absorbing all external Spiritual Qi. Our own True Essence is already being drawn back into it. It's best to leave the Yellow Springs Desert as quickly as possible now."
Su Yang nodded without hesitation.
After he and Bai Lingxi separated, the True Essence in his body immediately began to be absorbed in reverse by the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring.
The terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring was that no matter how high your Cultivation base, you couldn't stop the True Essence in your body from being absorbed, and the closer you were to it, the faster the absorption speed.
Since he had already successfully entered the Nascent Soul Stage, there was no need to linger here.
After taking a purple gold pill, Su Yang immediately moved away from the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring with Bai Lingxi.
"You have now successfully entered the Nascent Soul Stage. I have fulfilled our agreement, and now it's your turn to help me Breakthrough!"
On the way, Bai Lingxi said to Su Yang very seriously.
Su Yang nodded with certainty, "Sect Master Bai, don't worry. You have helped me so much, and I, Su Yang, am not an ungrateful man. I will help you Breakthrough no matter what. This has nothing to do with our respective positions."
Because of the Five Thunders True Word Curse, Bai Lingxi could clearly feel his sincerity.
Knowing that he truly thought this way, Bai Lingxi felt a little relieved about the matter.
However, she couldn't smile.
Looking at the endless yellow sand before them, Bai Lingxi said, "When we were searching for the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring, the Spiritual Qi served as a beacon; we just followed the direction of the Spiritual Qi's dispersion to find it. But to leave the Yellow Springs Desert, we can only rely on the sun in the sky as a beacon and keep walking. When we can walk out of the Yellow Springs Desert is entirely up to fate."
She hoped the Medicinal Pills would still be enough.
Bai Lingxi prayed in her heart.
Su Yang could also imagine the difficulty and danger of returning.
Since they had no idea where the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring was located in the Yellow Springs Desert, they couldn't determine which direction would be the fastest way to leave the Yellow Springs Desert.
Any direction could be the shortest path.
Any direction could also be the longest path.
The sun became their only compass.
Constantly advancing towards the rising sun in the east became their only option.
As for whether this direction was the closest or furthest way out of the Yellow Springs Desert, it could only be left to fate.
Su Yang was not a person who liked to rely on fate.
Thinking that they might not be able to leave the Yellow Springs Desert for half a year or even a year, by then his purple gold pills would have long been consumed, and Bai Lingxi's Medicinal Pills for replenishing True Essence might not last that long either.
If it came to that, both he and Bai Lingxi could be drained dry by the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring, dying from exhausted True Essence.
It was important to know that the entire Yellow Springs Desert was devoid of Spiritual Qi; once True Essence was completely consumed, there was no way to replenish it, and nothing awaited them but death.
To die in the Yellow Springs Desert right after becoming a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, and then be deeply buried by the shifting yellow sand, Su Yang felt it was not worth it.
There must be a better plan to ensure they could safely leave the Yellow Springs Desert!
And not leave such a life-and-death matter to fate!
"What are you spacing out about?"
Bai Lingxi saw him silent and asked.
Su Yang came back to his senses and said as he walked, "Sect Master Bai, we can't determine if the direction we're heading is short or long. What if this direction is very, very long, and both our Medicinal Pills for replenishing True Essence might be used up before we leave? Then we'll be in danger."
Bai Lingxi nodded.
What Su Yang said was also what she was worried about.
That's why she prayed to be able to leave the Yellow Springs Desert before the Medicinal Pills ran out.
Su Yang didn't want to leave their fate to destiny. He said, "I have a method that will allow us to safely leave the Yellow Springs 100%, no matter if the direction we need to go is short or long! Sect Master Bai, do you want to try it?"
"What method? Tell me!"
Bai Lingxi immediately became interested.
Su Yang whispered a few words in her ear.
Bai Lingxi's face instantly flushed, and she gave him a roll of her eyes without hesitation, then strode forward.
"Hey, hey, hey, Sect Master Bai, consider it! Right now, safely leaving the Yellow Springs Desert is the top priority!"
Su Yang chased after her.
Bai Lingxi resolutely said, "Impossible! I won't!"
"Just consider it!"
"No consideration!"
Bai Lingxi flatly refused.
However,
When the two of them had walked for a full two months in the Yellow Springs Desert and still hadn't seen any sign of the desert's edge, Bai Lingxi was starting to panic.
Her remaining Medicinal Pills would only last for about another month at most.
If they still couldn't get out after a month, she would have no Medicinal Pills to replenish her True Essence.
Then it would truly be dangerous.
Bai Lingxi's mind kept replaying the plan Su Yang had told her.
Her originally firm refusal now had to be seriously reconsidered.
"Although the plan Su Yang mentioned is very shameful, it must be said that it can indeed 100% guarantee their safe departure from the Yellow Springs Desert. Maybe... I should go with his method...? Anyway, I've already given him everything I could..."
Bai Lingxi struggled in her heart for a whole day, and finally let go of her shame.
"Su Yang! How about we go with your plan after all."
"After all... after all, leaving the Yellow Springs Desert alive is more important than anything!"
Bai Lingxi suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Su Yang with a blush.
Seeing that she had come to a realization, Su Yang smiled slightly, clapped his hands directly, and spread his arms.
Bai Lingxi lightly bit her red lips, walked in front of him, then lightly jumped and hung on him, her legs wrapped around his waist, her arms around his neck, like Su Yang's pendant.
Was that enough?
Of course not!
Su Yang held her and gently lowered her.
Bai Lingxi suddenly had a familiar sensation, and her Cultivation base was instantly suppressed.
But at the same time, the True Essence within both her and Su Yang's bodies immediately stopped flowing out.
More precisely, the True Essence that had dispersed was reabsorbed by Su Yang, thereby achieving the effect of preventing True Essence from dissipating.
"As long as True Essence doesn't drain away, we can endure even if we have to walk in the Yellow Springs Desert for a year!"
Su Yang's face showed a confident smile as he marched eastward, singing all the way.
Bai Lingxi held Su Yang,
and secretly thought to herself,
If they really had to walk in the Yellow Springs Desert for a year, she didn't know if she could endure it...
