70: Love grows over time; the ancients were right!

[Ding! Congratulations Host for completing the selection! Reward: breakthrough pill * 1!]

Somewhere on a mountainside.

Inside a man-made Immortal Cave.

Wang Ming sat cross-legged.

Inside the System space, a golden Medicinal Pill had appeared.

It had pill veins on its surface and was overflowing with Spiritual Qi.

Immediately following that, information regarding this pill flooded into Wang Ming's mind.

"breakthrough pill, an Immortal-grade pill. Below Immortal Inquiry, consuming it allows one to break through a minor Realm without any side effects."

Wang Ming's eyes flashed with brilliance, shocked by the effect of the breakthrough pill.

"Immortal Inquiry should be a Realm of the Late Stage. At least before Soul Transformation, this breakthrough pill will be effective!"

Wang Ming stood up, walked to the entrance of the Immortal Cave, and gazed into the distance.

"The God Devouring Art I practice is too Heaven-Defying. Additionally, besides this breakthrough pill, the System reward this time also includes a tribulation crossing pill. It seems the Breakthrough won't be too smooth."

After some consideration, Wang Ming decided to wait until he obtained that tribulation crossing pill before making his Breakthrough... On the other side.

After Chen Ye was discovered by Lian Xing, he was quickly pursued by all the Disciples of the Lingjian Pavilion.

Making such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of the Xuantian Sect.

Thus, the Xuantian Sect also joined the ranks of those pursuing Chen Ye.

"Senior Sister, what should we do? The Xuantian Sect and Lingjian Pavilion have joined forces!"

Ouyang Yaoxi couldn't help but say worriedly upon hearing the news brought back by the Qingxin Palace Disciples.

Gu Qingyi's expression was somewhat unsightly.

If facing either the Xuantian Sect or the Lingjian Pavilion alone, leading all the Disciples of Qingxin Palace, why would she need to avoid their edge!

But if facing both at the same time, even if she used all her trump cards, there was no chance of victory!

"As things stand, there is only one way to break this situation," Gu Qingyi suddenly said after a long silence.

"What time is it? Senior Sister, stop keeping us in suspense. If there's a way, say it quickly. Any later, and we'll only be able to collect Junior Brother Chen Ye's corpse," Ouyang Yaoxi said anxiously.

Gu Qingyi looked at Ouyang Yaoxi and said solemnly, "Go find Wang Ming!"

"Only if the two of us join forces with Wang Ming will there be a slight chance to break the situation!"

After saying that, Gu Qingyi didn't give Ouyang Yaoxi a chance to speak. She pulled her along and took a step forward, actually soaring directly into the air.

"Soaring Through the Air! Senior Sister, you..."

Ouyang Yaoxi was full of shock. One must know that only those above Core Formation can walk on air.

But the strength Gu Qingyi displayed was clearly still only at Foundation Establishment.

"Now is not the time to explain. We'll talk later."

Gu Qingyi spread her Divine Sense, adding a special vibration to it, and flew forward with Ouyang Yaoxi... "This Divine Sense vibration... it's that woman, Gu Qingyi."

Wang Ming's figure flashed. Following the direction of the Divine Sense vibration, he soon discovered Gu Qingyi and Ouyang Yaoxi.

"Wang Ming!"

Seeing Wang Ming, Ouyang Yaoxi's face lit up with joy. She subconsciously let go of Gu Qingyi and lunged toward Wang Ming.

But this was in the sky. Her strength hadn't reached Core Formation, and she couldn't fly on her own. With this release, she fell directly toward the ground.

Wang Ming was quick and caught her in time.

He asked gently, "Are you alright?"

Ouyang Yaoxi shook her head slowly. Returning to this embrace, she felt nothing but endless satisfaction.

She had to admit that she had been too foolish before.

Between Wang Ming and Ye Chen, she had actually chosen the latter without hesitation.

"Yao Xi, do you still care about Junior Brother Chen Ye or not?"

At this moment, Gu Qingyi landed on the ground with Wang Ming. Seeing Ouyang Yaoxi leaning into Wang Ming's arms like a little bird, unwilling to leave, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and say irritably.

"Oh! Right! Wang Ming, quick! Go save Junior Brother Chen Ye!"

Ouyang Yaoxi's face turned red. Only then did she remember the important matter and hurriedly gave Wang Ming a symbolic push.

"I already know the situation. There's no time to lose; let's go now."

The three of them set off together.

Wang Ming's Divine Sense spread out without reservation, like a giant net covering the sky. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, any movement could not escape his detection.

"What powerful Divine Sense!" A flash of shock passed through Gu Qingyi's eyes.

She had experienced the power of Wang Ming's Divine Sense once before.

But this time, being closer, the feeling was even more obvious.

Gu Qingyi estimated that this Divine Sense power was at least at the Core Formation level!

"This way!"

As if he had discovered something, Wang Ming put his arm around Ouyang Yaoxi's waist, his figure flashed, and he quickly sped off in a certain direction.

Although Gu Qingyi was also using her Divine Sense to investigate, she knew her Divine Sense wasn't as powerful as Wang Ming's.

Just because she couldn't detect anything didn't mean Wang Ming couldn't.

Without thinking much, she immediately set off to follow.

Soon, the three of them appeared by a small stream.

On the ground was a pile of charcoal, and not far away lay a grilled fish that had been half-eaten.

"Grilled fish... this taste... it is indeed Junior Brother Chen Ye's handiwork."

Gu Qingyi sniffed lightly, certain that this grilled fish was made by Chen Ye.

After all, she had just eaten it in the cave and remembered the taste vividly.

"This charcoal still has residual warmth; he must have just left."

After some investigation, Wang Ming led the two of them in pursuit again.

But the result remained the same; every time, they could accurately find traces of Chen Ye's presence.

Yet they just couldn't find Chen Ye himself.

After several times, Gu Qingyi called a halt. "This isn't the way. At this rate, by the time we find Junior Brother Chen Ye, I'm afraid even his corpse will have been devoured by Vicious Beasts."

"Then how do you suggest we find him?" Wang Ming stopped and glanced at her.

Hearing this, Gu Qingyi also fell silent.

How to find him?

If she knew, she wouldn't be running around here with Wang Ming like a headless fly.

"Actually, to help share the pressure for Junior Brother Chen Ye, we don't necessarily need to find him. I have another way."

As Wang Ming spoke, he flipped his palm, and an oval object glowing with white light appeared in it.

"This is?" Gu Qingyi and Ouyang Yaoxi looked over at the same time, both looking puzzled.

Wang Ming smiled and said, "Junior Brother Chen Ye isn't the only one who obtained a divine beast egg."

A divine beast egg!

Gu Qingyi's body trembled as she stared fixedly at the object in Wang Ming's hand, her breathing becoming a bit ragged.

divine beast eggs are inherently rare; only those with great Luck can obtain them.

She had thought that Chen Ye obtaining one divine beast egg was already the Luck of Qingxin Palace.

She didn't expect that Wang Ming had actually obtained one too!

"Heaven is blessing my Qingxin Palace!" Gu Qingyi's voice trembled.

But then, Ouyang Yaoxi suddenly grabbed Wang Ming's arm. "Are you trying to use yourself as bait to help Junior Brother Chen Ye lure away the people from the Xuantian Sect and Lingjian Pavilion?"

"No, that's too dangerous. You can't go!" Ouyang Yaoxi hugged Wang Ming tightly, refusing to let go.

"Don't worry. Since I've spoken, I'm confident I can retreat safely." Wang Ming patted Ouyang Yaoxi, his tone involuntarily becoming much softer.

Feelings grow over time; the ancients did not deceive me!
