As the Universe Turns - Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Spirit Mountain

The cave suddenly quieted down. Ling Luan also watched Xiao Chen remain silent. Mu Baiyu asked, “May I know what Miss Wei Yang said?”

“The seed of Eternal Flowers and Leaves.”

Hua Weiyang did not conceal anything. He spoke bluntly. Mu Baiyu seemed to have guessed something long ago. There was no obvious change on his face at this moment. On the other hand, Ling Luan, who was beside him, was shocked. “You mean … you want the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves …”

At this moment, she was obviously a little shocked. She was from Heavenly Spirit Sect, so she naturally knew what the Eternal Flower Leaf Seed meant. What did Liao Wuchen want the Eternal Flower Leaf Seed for?

Suddenly, she remembered the last time in the Extreme Heaven Pagoda, when she saw the Death Qi wrapped around Liao Wuchen’s body. So it was like this … He wanted the seeds of evergreen flowers to resist the Death Qi in his body.

Mu Baiyu looked at Xiao Chen again. No wonder this person didn’t have the slightest fear of the Yin Mountain Sect’s deathly aura before. It turned out that there was also a deathly aura in his body. No wonder he looked a little strange just now. “The seed of evergreen flowers and leaves, I’m afraid that the sect master and the Grand Elders will have to decide on this matter,” he said.

Evidently, the Eternal Blossom Leaf Seed was of extraordinary significance to the Heavenly Spirit Sect. How could it be given to others just by saying so? At this moment, even the normally talkative Ling Luan was silent.

If it was before, regardless of Xiao Chen’s difficulties, she would do everything she could to help him. Even when she saw Xiao Chen’s death aura last time in the Extreme Heaven Pagoda, she had even wanted to ask her grandfather to treat him. But now, this Eternal Flower Leaf Seed was really a bit difficult. This matter was not something she could control.

“Liao Wuchen …”

Ling Luan looked at Xiao Chen and frowned slightly. She wanted to help Xiao Chen heal his death aura, but when the time came, there was nothing she could do. She couldn’t help but feel sad and disappointed in her heart.

Xiao Chen shook his head. When he left the Su Wen Palace, his chances were low. He wouldn’t force him to go to the Heavenly Spirit Sect this time to obtain the Evergreen Flowers and Leaves Seed.

“Nothing, nothing …”

Seeing his silence, Ling Luan shook her hand again and said hurriedly, “I will tell Grandpa that Grandpa will definitely be able to cure your injuries. Even if he can’t cure you, he will definitely need the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves. Then I will tell Grandpa that Grandpa loves me the most, as long as I speak …”

Before she could finish speaking, Mu Baiyu pulled her sleeve and gently shook his head, signaling that he would not easily promise her that he would not give her the Eternal Flower Leaf Seed.

Ling Luan also slowly lowered her head and watched the flames in front of her jump. She did not speak anymore.

Hua Weiyang chuckled and said, “It doesn’t matter. The two of us will explain this matter to the Sect Master. We won’t make things difficult for Brother Mu and Sister Ling Luan.”

“But …”

Ling Luan raised his head again, wanting to say something else, but when he thought of the other disgusting Grand Elders in the sect besides his grandfather, it was as if he had been drenched in a basin of cold water, and he lowered his head silently.

…

As the night drew deeper and deeper, Xiao Chen went outside alone. He looked at the faintly visible mountain range under the darkness of the night. The cool breeze gently brushed his temples. Behind his shoulders, a few strands of white hair appeared under the moonlight.

“Xiao Yichen …”

Hua Weiyang had arrived behind him at some unknown time. Xiao Chen turned around and saw that she was dressed in flawless white clothes. She was originally supposed to be carefree, but because of the backlash from her body, a layer of lingering melancholy gradually appeared on her face these past few days.

“Wei Yang.”

Xiao Chen slowly walked over and looked at her flawless face under the moonlight. After a long time, he said, “You don’t have to worry too much. Even if there isn’t a seed of evergreen flowers and leaves, I will use the Jade Light Heart Technique and the Heavenly Book Fragment to suppress this backlash.”

“Mm …”

Hua Weiyang nodded his head lightly, but he clearly understood in his heart. Since Fairy Su Wen said that only the seed of Evergreen Flowers and Leaves could resist this aura of death, then there was nothing else in the world that could resist the aura of death in his body. It was not easy to forcefully suppress it with his own cultivation.

Fortunately, she had saved Ling Luan this time. It was not impossible to obtain the seed of Evergreen Flowers and Leaves. As for Ling Luan, she could tell that this little girl really wanted to help Xiao Chen. However, Mu Baiyu was hard to say. She still had a bad feeling.

The next morning, the four of them continued on their journey to Spirit Mountain. They didn’t arrive until seven days later.

When they arrived near the foot of the mountain, they saw hundreds of flowers blossoming and spring water dingdong. Looking up, they saw green mountains stretching out in the distance. Clouds and mist surrounded them, as if they were in the Outer World Immortal Realm, causing them to forget to return.

On the east side, there was a tallest mountain peak. That mountain peak went straight into the clouds, and without seeing its peak, it was the Spirit Mountain where the Heavenly Spirit Sect was located.

Although it was a harsh winter, the Spirit Mountain was dozens of kilometers in radius, but there were hundreds of flowers that did not wither, everywhere was full of singing and dancing, as if it was the same as March in the mortal world.

“Wow! I’m finally back!”

Looking at the distant mountain peak that had sunk into the clouds, Ling Luan’s face was filled with unusual excitement. It had been more than a year since she had returned home. In the past, she had never left home for such a long time.

Hua Weiyang took a few steps forward and felt the fragrance of birds and flowers. Her perception of spiritual energy was not something ordinary people could compare to. Naturally, she could feel an extraordinary amount of spiritual energy in this place. However, for some unknown reason, she faintly felt that it was somewhat unusual.

“Wuchen, Wuchen!”

Ling Luan ran back excitedly and pointed at the distant mountain peak. She smiled and said, “Do you see that? That’s my home!”

Just as she finished speaking, a green sword light suddenly flew over from the mountain peak. It came close and turned into an old man dressed in green. Ling Luan waved her hand and shouted, “Third Uncle! Here!”

“Haha! Little Lingluan, you’re back!”

The green-robed old man landed on the ground and raised his head with a smile. However, when he saw that he was dressed in an immortal style, his aura was quite extraordinary. It was precisely the third elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Chu Tianhe.

“Mm, let me see. After going out for a year, the little girl has grown up a lot …”

Chu Tianhe placed his palm on Ling Luan’s shoulder and continuously nodded. His smile was very cordial. He recalled that when Ling Luan left last year, there was inevitably a trace of childishness on her body. Now that she had been tempered in the Extreme Heaven Pagoda for a year, her gaze had become much more resolute.

“Third Elder.”

At this time, Mu Baiyu also walked up, cupped his hands towards Chu Tianhe, and greeted him with a smile.

“Mm …”

Chu Tianhe nodded slightly, and his gaze slowly fell on Xiao Chen. He thought to himself that this person was that Liao Wuchen. Just the feeling he gave off was far from being comparable to the disciples of the aristocratic families in the Ancient Realm. This little girl Ling Luan’s eyesight was indeed not bad, but this woman beside her …

“Hehe!”

Ling Luan chuckled and continued, “Third Uncle, let me tell you something. This is the Liao Wuchen I always talk about. Next to her is Sister Hua Weiyang.”

Hua Weiyang smiled lightly and walked forward with a slight bow of his hand. “Junior Hua Weiyang greets Senior Chu.”
