The maid in the light yellow dress at her side had a look of admiration in her eyes. Her young miss was like a fairy walking out of a painting.
Her young miss had been sitting here for a long time, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Su Hong didn't turn her head. A somewhat lazy voice came over.
"After being in seclusion for so long, to be able to come out and see the world is also a form of cultivation, especially since the Verdant Continent is so beautiful and the spiritual energy is so rich!"
The maid in the light yellow dress felt the active spiritual energy around her and nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.
"You're right, Miss. This is much better than that Desolate Moon Continent. I heard that the spiritual energy there is very thin, and they don't even have a cross-realm teleportation grand formation.
For you to come back, you had to have the clan's elders tear open the void to bring you back. What kind of place is the Chaotic Flow Space? One wrong move and even the elders could get lost in it..."
Listening to the maid in the light yellow dress chattering on, a smile appeared on Su Hong's face.
"Mi'er is right. The four great sects on the Desolate Moon Continent are very stubborn and are completely unwilling to open any teleportation methods to other continents.
However, the cultivators there are very pure, without so many conflicts between different races!"
A memory was stirred up by Mi'er. Suddenly, a young man with an ordinary appearance appeared in her mind. Then she snorted softly in her heart.
'Hmph! I wonder if that boy Li Yan has formed his core yet. If I could see him now, I would definitely teach him a good lesson.
Back then, for a few drops of 'Crystal Bone Water,' he actually took the opportunity to threaten me, without a trace of a gentleman's heart for cherishing beauties!'
Thinking that she was now at the Golden Core realm, Su Hong's crossed legs gently kicked the air under the table.
Her snow-white, smooth thighs shone with a moon-like luster, making the maid named Mi'er beside her blush and her heart beat faster.
'I wonder who will become my young miss's Dao Companion in the future. Just looking at her like this, I don't need to cultivate all day, I'll just be thinking about... Pah, pah, pah!'
The blush on Mi'er's face grew even redder. She suddenly spat at herself a few times in her heart. What was she thinking!
On the other side, Su Hong's thoughts had returned to the Desolate Moon Continent for a moment. That was the first place she had gone for training...
...
In the mission hall for the inner sect disciples of the Malevolent Mountain, Sun Guoshu, with his burly figure and already dressed in the Malevolent Sect's attire, heavily placed a second-rank Thunder Cloud Leopard in front of the deacon disciple.
"Here, if you please, Senior Brother, I'm turning in a mission!" he said in a rough voice.
"Oh, Senior Brother Sun is back. What happened to your back?"
At this time, a few disciples who were also in a group to turn in their missions came over from behind. Seeing Sun Guoshu, they asked with a laugh.
"Isn't it obvious? What else could have happened? I chased this demonic beast for four days and got slapped by it!"
Sun Guoshu replied nonchalantly, and at the same time, he turned his head and grinned at the few disciples.
As a rogue cultivator for so many years, he was extremely slick. In addition, he had also made friends with many Malevolent disciples during the war between the two realms. Now that he had joined the sect, his relationship with others was quite good.
Due to his performance in the war between the two realms, and with Bai Rou pleading with Elder Chigong, Sun Guoshu directly entered the inner sect and also entered "Four Symbols Peak" because of Bai Rou.
"Senior Brother Sun, it's very dangerous for you to take on missions like this. How about we team up next time?"
The few disciples from Spirit Insect Peak said.
This Sun Guoshu was already at the great perfection of Foundation Establishment. If they could get him to join their team, they would have a strong reinforcement, and the safety of the entire team would be further guaranteed.
"Hehehe, you're a little late, Junior Brothers. I plan to go into seclusion for a while after I turn in this mission. We'll definitely cooperate next time we have a chance."
Sun Guoshu chuckled.
At this time, the deacon opposite him had already finished checking the Thunder Cloud Leopard. He raised his head and glanced at Sun Guoshu.
"Alright, Junior Brother Sun, take out your sect token. I'll transfer the contribution points!"
Sun Guoshu smiled and immediately handed over the prepared sect token.
The deacon also took out a token and flashed it at Sun Guoshu's token, then threw the token back to him.
After catching the token, Sun Guoshu cupped his hands to the few people.
"Senior Brothers, Junior Brothers, you go ahead. I have to go back and tend to my wounds!"
Then, he walked out of the main hall cheerfully, without any sign of being affected by his injuries.
With this mission, he could go to "Lord Lao Peak" again.
"Core Formation is really fucking difficult. I've already spent so many spirit stones, and I still don't know when I can succeed!"
He sighed in his heart and flew away on his sword.
After he left, one of the disciples who had turned in the mission said, "Junior Brother Feng, you don't have to ask him again next time. This Senior Brother Sun seems easy to talk to, but he always takes on missions by himself because he doesn't want to share the contribution points with others!"
"That's right. I've asked him to team up a few times before, but he's always refused with various excuses!"
"I heard that he entered 'Four Symbols Peak' because he knew Senior Sister Bai Rou. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even have been able to enter the outer sect..."
"He was with Senior Sister Bai on Windy Cool Mountain during the fight against the Demon Clan. He's carried out a few suicide missions, so he's a ruthless person!
It's just that Senior Sister Bai has been away from the sect for many years now, so he can only rely on himself for everything on 'Four Symbols Peak.'
That's why he values spirit stones and contribution points so much. He'd rather take on missions by himself than share them with others..."
"Alright, you guys take out your tokens!"
The deacon in front of them reprimanded them softly with dissatisfaction.
The few disciples were stunned. Only then did they remember that this deacon senior brother was also from "Four Symbols Peak." They immediately put on smiling faces and took out their sect tokens...
After this deacon had checked this small team's mission, he finally transferred the contribution points and then immediately sent them away.
Looking at the backs of the departing disciples, he muttered to himself in his heart, "You guys know nothing. This Junior Brother Sun is not only with Senior Sister Bai, but he's also connected to Little Bamboo Peak. That's a big backer!"
This deacon's Dao Companion was also a disciple of the same peak and was on good terms with Bai Rou.
She had once asked Bai Rou in confusion why she had gone to plead with Elder Chigong for a rogue cultivator.
According to Bai Rou, she was "entrusted by a junior brother from Little Bamboo Peak!"
As for who it was, Bai Rou had never said.
If it weren't for hearing this from his Dao Companion, this deacon wouldn't have believed it. Those people from Little Bamboo Peak were all so arrogant. How could they be so concerned about a rogue cultivator?
'Since Sun Guoshu is familiar with the people from Little Bamboo Peak, why didn't he directly enter the outer sect of Little Bamboo Peak? The cultivation resources there are not comparable to those of the inner sects of the other peaks.'
He knew how difficult it was to enter the inner sect of Little Bamboo Peak. Wei Zhongran had not accepted another inner sect disciple for so many years.
However, since he had connections, even becoming an outer sect disciple was something many people would beg for.
'I've never seen Sun Guoshu go to Little Bamboo Peak either. Did Junior Sister Bai Rou just make that up!'
He thought for a while and then put the matter aside. He had only thought of it because he had seen Sun Guoshu.
...
Li Yan's mind was dizzy. Even with his current cultivation and a perverted physique that was stronger than many pseudo-Nascent Souls, he still felt a tightness in his chest.
Waves of nausea churned within him, making him want to vomit. Scenes flashed quickly before his eyes, sometimes bright, sometimes white.
His Divine Sense, which he had always felt was unparalleled among his peers, couldn't even sense a single thing before those images flashed past, without any time to look closely.
Suddenly, Li Yan felt a pair of hands grab his clothes. It was Zhao Min at his side.
Zhao Min had already closed her eyes, her face a little pale. Her hands unconsciously grabbed Li Yan beside her.
The golden-yellow rune above their heads spun wildly, scattering a large amount of golden-yellow light at an almost insane speed, covering the seven people below.
The situation of the other five was even worse, but Li Yan had no time to worry about them. His Martial Uncle had said it was fine, so at least these people would not die.
Suddenly, Li Yan's vision brightened, and he felt his feet land on something solid.
He endured the extreme dizziness and looked around again. There were no more scenes flashing before his eyes. A faint milky-white light was being emitted.
The "Solid" character rune above his head had already stopped rotating, and its light had become very dim.
"Did... did we... complete the teleportation?"
Meng Zhiyuan's somewhat weak voice came over.
Li Yan, in his dizziness, barely managed to gather his Divine Sense and found that they were still standing on a huge platform. Then he was stunned.
Because he saw semi-circular arched gates all around.
"The Chencang Passage!"
Li Yan took a deep breath and said.
Meng Zhiyuan's face was unusually pale. He also looked around and then at his side.
"Are we still in the same place?"
He and his junior brothers and sisters were not dead, and the surroundings were very similar to before, which made him suspect that they had not been teleported away.
"No, there are some differences. There are stone stairs leading up there!"
Li Yan felt the tight grip on his clothes loosen. Zhao Min's cold voice came over.
As she spoke, she had already walked in a certain direction of the platform, but her steps were a little slow and unsteady, which showed that she was also trying hard to control her body.
Li Yan steadied himself and, with a wave of his hand, collected the "Solid" character rune above his head. He felt that although this rune had been mostly consumed, it was still of great use.
To just abandon it like this was not his style. He then hurriedly followed, and at the same time, he did his best to scan his surroundings with his Divine Sense.
The direction Zhao Min was walking in was where the stairs appeared. However, they had only been to the "Celestial Spirit Grotto" once before and couldn't be sure that there wasn't a formation concealing the real path inside the cave.
Especially since the "Chencang Passage" around them was so similar, and no rules had descended on Meng Zhiyuan and the other five. All of this made Li Yan unable to make an immediate judgment.
The steps went all the way up, about a thousand steps. When Li Yan caught up, he had already seen Zhao Min standing at the end of the steps.
"There's a stone gate above. I can't sense the situation outside!"
Zhao Min's voice came over. Li Yan quickly walked up and at the same time, scanned with his Divine Sense. A moment later, he withdrew his Divine Sense. At this time, the dizziness in his head had already improved a lot.
"I can't sense the situation outside either. This is exactly the same as in the 'Celestial Spirit Grotto' before!"
The two of them looked at each other. They didn't know what this meant. If there was an accident during the teleportation, and Qianchong Zhenjun had already left, there was no one to ask.
Perhaps the moment they opened the stone gate, what they would be greeted with would be a wave of fatal attacks, or they would still be at the bottom of the deep sea.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, did you find anything?"
At this time, Meng Zhiyuan's voice came from behind.
The reason Meng Zhiyuan had come a little late was because among the five of them, two had fallen into a semi-comatose state just now. They were the two with the weakest cultivation.
They had to briefly check them before using their magical power to carry them all the way up.
Meng Zhiyuan's face was a deathly pale. The remaining second and third brothers who were still conscious were not in a much better state. They were also swaying as they walked, barely managing to release their spiritual power to carry one person each.
As Meng Zhiyuan spoke, his gaze towards Li Yan and Zhao Min above was already filled with astonishment.
The aura these two had always given them was that of mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, which could not be compared to him and his two junior brothers.
But after the teleportation just now, not only were the few of them restless, but their heads were also muddled.
Their magical power was in great chaos, and for a short period of time, there had been a serious problem of stagnation in its circulation.
