As the Universe Turns - Chapter 945
Chapter 945 Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox
It was only in the evening that Hua Weiyang was slightly better. Xiao Chen had been standing by her side, and she couldn’t help but recall that when they first met, she disguised herself as an old woman. Even though she was afraid of the cold at that time, how could she be as serious as she is now?
It was only after she was seriously injured and Spiritual Energy was seriously injured that she became like this again and again.
“Wei Yang, are you feeling better?”
Xiao Chen gently pressed down on her hand. He still felt waves of cold coming. Shen Jing had already left. At this moment, there were only the two of them left in the room. At this moment, Qin Guan and the others were still outside the courtyard.
“I’m fine …”
Hua Weiyang’s face was pale, and even his lips had lost their color. He shook his head and smiled, “After these days, it will be good to have a backlash. Wasn’t it the same in the past?”
Didn’t it always be like this in the past …
Xiao Chen frowned deeply. This was the case every time in the past, but this time, it was probably different from the past …
“Don’t worry about me anymore …”
Hua Weiyang gently stretched out his hand and stroked his cheek. He said softly, “Forty years ago, they took everything from Uncle Xiao. Now … only you, only you can take it back … In a year’s time, you have to find out … the truth of that year …”
At this point, Hua Weiyang chuckled softly, “I know that in your heart … it was they who expelled Uncle Xiao from Xiao Clan back then, so now, no matter what, you won’t be able to rely on Xiao Clan’s strength in the slightest. Then don’t rely on it. You can make it through the heavens on your own. You don’t need them, just like now … Lustless Heaven …”
“When my injuries are healed, I will accompany you. Go to the horizon with the sword, sing and dance, and see the flowers blooming and falling in the world …”
Hua Weiyang’s voice gradually weakened. A burnout assaulted her. She gently closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.
“Wei Yang …”
Xiao Chen held her shoulders tightly. Even now, what she was thinking was still herself. However, she had suffered from cold injuries and the Profound Yin Qi had been counterattacked again and again. She was afraid that her remaining lifespan would not be much longer.
“She fell asleep again.”
A voice rang out. The door was gently pushed open by someone from outside. Shen Jing slowly walked in. Xiao Chen turned around, his eyes slightly red and covered in blood.
Shen Jing frowned slightly and looked at him, “What do you plan to do now?”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. Perhaps the most important thing he should do now was to cultivate properly and think of a way to break through to another two levels of cultivation.
It was absolutely impossible for him to explore the Saint realm within a year. However, as long as he had a glimpse of the Quasi-Saint realm, he was at least 70% confident that he would be able to defeat the Ten Saints at the Peerless Meeting a year later.
But now, Wei Yang had fallen into a deep slumber, life and death unknown. He really did not have the mood to cultivate, unless he could temporarily suppress the cold injuries on Wei Yang’s body.
Shen Jing sighed softly, “I’ll give her a needle and slowly draw out some cold energy. You can go out first.”
“Alright …”
Xiao Chen glanced at Hua Weiyang for the last time, tucked her under the blanket, and turned around to go out of the room.
In the courtyard outside, Qin Guan and Baimei Shangren, as well as Fairy Red Butterfly and Lady Rakshasa, were still waiting there. Xiao Chen walked out to see them all, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to speak.
At this time, Qin Guan walked up first and looked into the room. He asked, “Young Hero Xiao, how is it? Miss Wei Yang … is she alright?”
“Wei Yang, she …”
For a moment, Xiao Chen did not know what to say. If he said that Hua Weiyang was fine, he would not be able to say anything like that.
At this moment, Qin Lian suddenly walked up and looked at him with a frown. “Childe Xiao, has Miss Wei Yang suffered from a cold aura for a long time, and this cold aura can’t be expelled from her body, so over time, it formed a backlash?”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen’s expression froze. He looked at her and said, “Miss Qin Lian knows?”
Even though Hua Weiyang was a body of profound yin and could not be completely cured, the backlash from her body could indeed be said to have been caused by a surge of profound yin energy.
Qin Lian nodded and looked at him with a serious expression. “Although I’m not as proficient in medicine as Childe Xiao, my sister and I have a cold constitution since we were young. We probably know more about this than Childe Xiao. Can Childe Xiao let me go in and take a look for Miss Wei Yang?”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows narrowed. He remembered that he was in Fallen Snow Villa last time. It seemed that this was indeed the case. Only then could Lu Yan attach himself to Qin Yao without being noticed.
“Alright.”
At this moment, he nodded. Without hesitation, he immediately invited Qin Lian into the room. Qin Lian took a look for Hua Weiyang. He couldn’t help but be slightly shocked. Originally, she had an extremely cold physique. He didn’t expect that Hua Weiyang’s physique, Yin Qi, was much heavier than hers.
After a long time, Xiao Chen asked, “How was it? Did you see something?”
After pondering for a while, Qin Mian slowly raised her head and nodded, “Although I don’t know why there is such a strong Yin-cold Qi in her body, this Yin-cold Qi is not uncontrollable …”
When she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped. Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Seeing her hesitant expression, he looked at her and said, “Miss, please continue …”
Qin Lian frowned and said, “I don’t know if what I said next is true or not. I saw it in an ancient book. It says that to the west of Yu Ding, there is an endless land of Ancient Shu. There is an immortal mountain in the west of Shu. It is called ‘Mount Shu’, and to the north of Mount Shu, there is a Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox …”
“Mount Shu … Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox …”
Xiao Chen lowered his head and pondered. Qin Lian nodded and said, “That’s right, this Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox is rumored to be a Spirit Beast from the Immortal Dimension. Since ancient times, it has reproduced in the mortal world. However, there are only a dozen Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Foxes left in the mortal world. Using the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox’s blood as a medicinal ingrecipe, it will be able to suppress any cold injuries in the world.”
“Wait …”
At this moment, Shen Jing walked over and glanced at Qin Lian. Ning Mei said, “I’ve seen the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox you mentioned before in the Shennong Sutra. It’s just that the Land of Ancient Shu is dangerous and unpredictable, let alone the legendary Mount Shu? What if there is no Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox on it?”
“Shen Jing … needless to say.”
Xiao Chen interrupted her and looked at Qin Lian, “I believe what Miss Qin said. As for whether there is a Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox on Mount Shu, I have to go and see …”
At this point, he knew that Shen Jing was worried, so he turned around to look at her and continued, “Let’s treat this trip as an experience. If I can really find the legendary Ancient Immortal Mountain and borrow the spiritual energy of the Immortal Mountain and the essence of heaven and earth, it might also be helpful to my cultivation.”
“Have you thought it through?”
Shen Jing looked at him with her eyebrows slightly knitted. She knew that what he said was just a consolation. Even if there was an Immortal Mountain in the world, how could it be that it was easy to find?
…
As night fell outside, Xiao Chen and Qin Lian went outside. Yang Xiaoran happened to come from outside. He whispered a few words into his ear and asked him how to deal with the people from the Heavenly Sect.
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Right now, he was completely focused on Wei Yang. He didn’t care about the people from the Heaven Sect at all. He waved his hand and said, “Let them go.”
“Yes …”
Yang Xiaoran did not say anything else and immediately retreated outside. At this moment, Qin Guan walked up with a serious expression on his face and asked, “How is it?”
Xiao Chen immediately told Qin Guan about the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox. After hearing this, Qin Guan sank into deep thought. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Qin Lian. “Lian’er, are you sure this is the case?”
“I…”
At that moment, Qin Lian did not know how to speak. She believed that the records in the ancient book were correct, but over the years, no one had confirmed it.
Xiao Chen said, “No problem. I believe Miss Qin Lian’s words are correct.”
“This …”
Qin Guan pondered for a moment before muttering to himself, “But that Ancient Shu is not an ordinary place. Otherwise …”
At this point, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen, “Young Hero Xiao, let’s go together. It’s good to have some care along the way.”
“No, there’s no need.”
Xiao Chen cupped his fists and looked at Baimei Shangren and Fairy Red Butterfly, saying, “I am is grateful for your help in activating the formation. There is no need for you to worry about the next matter.”
“That’s fine …”
Baimei Shangren stroked his white beard and said, “It’s just that we haven’t been to the Land of Ancient Shu a few times. If Little friend Xiao goes alone this time, we must be extremely careful.”
Fairy Red Butterfly continued, “Since we need to treat Miss Wei Yang’s injuries, we shouldn’t delay. We should set off as soon as possible.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded. At this moment, Lady Rakshasa walked up. However, she was dressed in flawless red clothes and bloomed like a flower on the other side. Although she had not spoken, she knew Qin Guan and Xiao Chen better than Hua Weiyang and the others. She also knew Xiao Chen better than they did.
At this moment, she did not say much and only said, “Be careful.”
…
Next, Xiao Chen did not delay any longer. The 24 people in Night Shade were injured today, so it was not appropriate to travel with him. This time, he could only go to the Land of Ancient Shu alone.
The few of them returned to Spirit Ruins Realm overnight. This night, the stars and the moon were dim. Fairy Red Butterfly and Baimei Shangren wanted to go back to Hill of Illusory Ruins without stopping by. Next, Xiao Chen, Qin Guan, and the others were traveling together.
Along the way, the Qin Clan elders didn’t say much, but Qin Guan and Xiao Chen walked side by side for a while before suddenly asking, “Young Hero Xiao, who is that woman during the day?”
“She …”
Xiao Chen thought that Qin Guan was asking about Qianyu Nichang and said, “I used to go out with her.”
“No, it’s not …”
Qin Guan shook his hand and continued, “I’m talking about that woman called Meng Xian’er.”
“She …”
Xiao Chen looked at Qin, who had a doubtful expression on his face, and thought to himself, “Why did he suddenly ask such a question?” “She is the sect master of Dream Immortal Sect and … a good friend of I am,” he said.
“I see …”
Qin Guan stroked his beard and said, “But it seems to me that she is from the Devil Religion. Moreover, she has an extraordinary relationship with the other two Devil Religions …”
At this point, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Chen. “Young Hero Xiao, take it as me talking too much, but I still have to say that Diabolism’s people are good at disguising themselves. They are often different from each other, and they have to be more careful when dealing with these people in the future.”
Xiao Chen knew that Qin Guan cared about him, but he believed in Meng Xian’er. Perhaps he didn’t believe it in the past, but he had experienced a lot of life and death together. Moreover, when he activated the Heaven-shattering Array this time, Meng Xian’er had always been on guard against Pavilion Master White Cloud and Dark Nether Monarch for him.
The group walked all night. The next morning, dawn fell. Qin Guan and the others were going back to the Qinling Mountains, while he was heading west to the Land of Ancient Shu. When he reached a fork in the road, Qin Guan stopped and said again, “Young Hero Xiao, are you really planning to go to the Land of Ancient Shu alone?”
Xiao Chen could tell that his expression was very serious. He thought that the Ancient Shu Land was definitely not an ordinary place. He had seen it in ancient books in the past. He did not expect that after the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World was shattered, the Ancient Shu Land would actually be hidden in the Spirit Ruins Realm. He nodded and said, “Old Master Qin, don’t worry. I will be careful.”
“Alright …”
Following that, the two sides separated. Xiao Chen headed west. The fog in front of him was thick, layer by layer, gradually blurring the surrounding scenery.
