After leaving the cold pond, the two of them found a quiet place under Ruo Xiangyi's request. Since the cold pond peony was already in her hands, Ruo Xiangyi naturally had to quickly recover from her injuries.
Once a cultivator's injuries were delayed, even if they healed in the future, there would more or less be internal injuries left behind. At that time, it would be troublesome.
Since he had agreed to take Ruo Xiangyi with him, Lu Xuan naturally couldn't slip away by himself. He could only helplessly protect her. Thinking about it, it was really depressing to take such a burden with him. Fortunately, Ruo Xiangyi's experience was extraordinary, so she could more or less help him.
The sky gradually darkened. Although there was a formation around them, it didn't change the day and night. There was still a difference between day and night.
Taking out a few Ice Spirit Crystals and rubbing them in his hand, Lu Xuan thought for a moment and decided not to rush to condense the Two Star IX Water Divine Rune. After all, this was not a small matter. If he and Ruo Xiangyi cultivated at the same time, it would be very difficult to defend against the attacks of demonic beasts.
When Ruo Xiangyi came out of seclusion, it was already late at night. Demonic beasts were the most active at night. In the dark, many demonic beasts had natural advantages, while cultivators were somewhat restricted.
Hearing the roars of some beasts coming from afar, Lu Xuan looked at Ruo Xiangyi and said, "How is your recovery?"
A satisfied smile appeared on Ruo Xiangyi's face as she said, "The cold pond peony's effect is very good. Moreover, our sect has some special research on peonies. Now that I have recovered 80% of my strength, I should be able to slowly recover on my own."
"Then you should be able to leave by yourself." Lu Xuan nodded.
"Why, are you in such a hurry to drive me away? Are you worried that I will steal your treasure? " Ruo Xiangyi sneered. She took out a piece of white cloth and threw it on the ground. Then, she sat on the ground next to Lu Xuan.
"I just feel that it's useless to bring you along. I have to restrain myself from doing something." Lu Xuan shrugged and said.
"If it wasn't for me, the cold pond peony would have been destroyed by you." Ruo Xiangyi retorted, "Since you've agreed to take me away from here, we'll talk about it after we return to the Inner Hall."
Lu Xuan was speechless. This woman was still clinging to him. However, if she wanted to follow him, then so be it. Lu Xuan was confident that with his current strength, he was not afraid of her. The two of them sat quietly on the ground. Lu Xuan lifted his head to look at the stars. It seemed that ever since he left Qingshan Town, he rarely had the chance to sit in the forest and look at the stars. However, he had forgotten that there was a formation blocking the way, so he could not see the stars. He could only lower his head in regret.
"Do all the disciples of the Peony Palace have to learn the Charm Technique?" Lu Xuan thought back to when he was in the Wondrous Stone Shop. If Xiang Yi tried to charm him, but she didn't succeed.
Ruo Xiangyi shook her head, then nodded and said, "Not necessarily, but most of the disciples learn it. Our Peony Palace relies on a complicated network of connections. Most of our disciples will marry people from other sects. Even the disciples of the Jiuhua Alliance will come to the Peony Palace to propose marriage. In order to live a better life in the future, we all learn the Charm Technique. You men like it."
In the forest, under the dim light of night, it was easier to talk freely. Lu Xuan and Ruo Xiangyi chatted, and Lu Xuan learned a little about the Peony Palace.
For example, most of the disciples of the Peony Palace were knowledgeable. They knew a lot about astronomy and geography. After all, they were women. In the future, they would need to find a man. This would undoubtedly increase their self-restraint, and allow them to find a better husband.
Ruo Xiangyi was even more extraordinary. Not only did she have to learn hundreds of skills, but she also had to know the situation of the other sects like the back of her hand. This was because the Peony Palace Master was training her to be the next Palace Master. Because of this, she could easily call out the names of the ordinary disciples.
Speaking of which, being able to sit here quietly and remove all pretenses was also a good way for Ruo Xiangyi to rest.
"Alright, I'm going to cultivate. I've been guarding you, so now it's your turn," Lu Xuan said.
"Aren't you afraid I'll ambush you?" Ruo Xiangyi asked.
"No." Lu Xuan said bluntly. Ruo Xiangyi couldn't help but feel strange. Her relationship with Lu Xuan wasn't that close. Why did he trust her so much? In fact, she had forgotten that when she asked Lu Xuan to guard her, she also trusted Lu Xuan.
But soon, the strange feeling in Ruo Xiangyi's heart disappeared without a trace. This was because after Lu Xuan finished speaking, he also threw out an iron puppet to guard her.
"He really is a stinky man!" Ruo Xiangyi thought bitterly. She felt like she had been deceived. With the protection of the puppet, once she made a move, Lu Xuan would immediately be alerted.
Lu Xuan felt that it was normal. We are not familiar with each other. Why should I trust you? You want to snatch Bing 'er from me? We are rivals in love!
Ruo Xiangyi dutifully took on the responsibility of guarding Lu Xuan. Her pair of beautiful eyes swept around from time to time. Her Divine Sense completely covered the surroundings.
"Huh?" When Ruo Xiangyi's gaze swept over a certain direction, she discovered a faint red light. The light was very faint, and if she passed by during the day, it would be very easy to miss it. However, the surroundings were completely dark, so the red light was very conspicuous.
"Lu Xuan, wake up." Ruo Xiangyi quickly woke up Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan, who was slowly circulating the Taiyi Origin Art, heard Ruo Xiangyi's call and immediately woke up. He thought that a monster was attacking, so he immediately grasped the Masked Sword in his hand.
"Look over there. There seems to be something there." Ruo Xiangyi pointed in the direction of the red light.
"Is someone burning a bonfire over there?" Lu Xuan said doubtfully. He also saw the red light.
"I don't know. It would be good if it is a cultivator. They should know the way back to the Inner Hall." Ruo Xiangyi said.
"Let's go and have a look." Lu Xuan put the puppet into his storage ring and stood up.
Ruo Xiangyi hesitated. "Should we wait until dawn? It will be dangerous at night. "
"This light is so weak. It seems there is still some distance between us and that place. Without a target during the day, it will be difficult to find the right direction. If it is really a cultivator, they might have already left." Lu Xuan was not afraid of anything.
Seeing Lu Xuan insist, Ruo Xiangyi could only agree. The two of them packed up and walked in the direction of the red light. At the same time, Lu Xuan took out two Sunstones from his storage ring and tossed one to Ruo Xiangyi. Immediately, the Sunstones illuminated the surrounding area.
At night, Lu Xuan and Ruo Xiangyi did not dare to fly. As expected, the red light was quite far away. After walking for around one incense stick's worth of time, they still had not arrived. Fortunately, it was night time, so they were able to discover it.
"The red light has not changed. If it is a fire, it cannot be so stable. I fear it is not a cultivator." Lu Xuan's eyesight was better. Coupled with the fact that he had been staring at the red light for a long time, he quickly discovered it.
Ruo Xiangyi's heart trembled slightly. If it was not a cultivator, then it was very likely that they were in danger. Especially at night, it might be a gathering place for Yao Beasts.
"Since it is not a cultivator, let's forget about it. Let's remember the location and go check it out during the day," Ruo Xiangyi said after thinking for a moment.
Lu Xuan smiled. "Riches come from danger. Since we discovered it, it is an opportunity. Who knows, it might be the inheritance of an ancient powerhouse?"
Ever since he had stepped into the world of cultivation, he had taken many risks. This unknown danger was not enough to make him retreat.
Ruo Xiangyi could not help but curse inwardly. An opportunity was an opportunity, but she did not know if it was an opportunity that would lead to death. However, Lu Xuan's mention of an ancient powerhouse's inheritance had tempted her. Although she knew that the chances were slim, there was still a chance.
After walking for a while, Lu Xuan and Ruo Xiangyi were very lucky. They did not encounter a single Yao Beast. However, this was abnormal. Normally, they would encounter at least one or two Yao Beasts foraging for food.
"I don't know why, but it seems that there are no Yao Beasts here," Ruo Xiangyi said softly.
"I noticed it too. But since there are no Yao Beasts, there is no reason to retreat." Lu Xuan said firmly. As they got closer, he had a strange feeling. It was as if something was driving his footsteps, guiding him towards the red light. He did not know whether this feeling was good or bad. What was that red light?
It was said that some Yao Beasts had the ability to charm people. They could make people willingly send themselves to death. The bewitchment techniques of cultivators were created based on this.
"Do you feel anything special?" Lu Xuan asked Ruo Xiangyi.
"Special feeling?" Ruo Xiangyi was a little confused. "No, I'm … a little worried."
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement, and Ruo Xiangyi did not pursue the matter any further. However, as he got closer and closer, the urge in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He could not help but pick up his pace, and in the end, he actually took to the air.
Ruo Xiangyi was startled. She hurriedly said, "Lu Xuan, what are you doing?"
Lu Xuan turned a deaf ear to her. Ruo Xiangyi could only grit her teeth and fly after him. Since there were no Yao Beasts around, they should be safe.
As they flew, the speed at which they got closer was much faster. They quickly flew past the trees and soon arrived at the place where the red light was.
Lu Xuan landed on the ground along with Fraternal Dependence. The two of them stared at the scene before them in a daze. A screen of light that emanated a faint red light was reflected in their eyes. Lu Xuan could not help but walk up to it and caress the screen of light. The screen of light immediately rippled like water. Lu Xuan felt a sense of familiarity when he touched the screen of light.
