Five days had passed and the three elders had already arrived at the Ethereal Cave.
At that moment, Bai Ye and the other two had already gathered with the elders. Only the weakest, Xing Jue, had yet to arrive. The elders were discussing whether they should look for Xing Jue.
Whoosh.
Along with a rather rich sound, purple clouds shone at the end of the sky. Elder Zhuge was relieved when he sensed Xing Jue's aura.
After Xing Jue descended, he first locked his gaze on Lu Yuan. Seeing that Lu Yuan was not only calm, but he even took the initiative to chat with Murong Xiaoxiao, Xing Jue could not help but admire his superb acting skills.
"Junior Xing Jue, you're finally back. It's great that you're fine!!"
"The three elders were just about to search for you!!" Moreover, after seeing Xing Jue, Lu Yuan was the first to walk up to him. His face was filled with joy, as if he was worried about Xing Jue. It really made Xing Jue speechless.
Elder Lei Dong pointed at the Space Portal not far away and said coldly, "The four of you can leave. We'll handle the rest personally."
At that moment, his expression was very bad. As for the reason, it was naturally because Bai Ye had let him down and failed to capture the Immortal Herb.
Even Bai Ye and the other two could not capture the Immortal Herb. They could not even find any traces of the Immortal Herb. Naturally, he did not think that Xing Jue would be able to capture the Immortal Herb. Therefore, he had already decided to search for the Immortal Herb himself.
"Elders, let's go. I don't believe that a Immortal Herb can disappear into thin air." As he spoke, Elder Lei Dong prepared to leave. His eyes were faintly flickering with anger.
However, at that moment, Xing Jue suddenly spoke, "Elder Lei Dong, there's no need. The Immortal Herb is with me."
"What did you say? Say it again?! "
Xing Jue's words were like a clap of thunder. Everyone turned to look at Xing Jue, especially Bai Ye, Lu Yuan, and Lei Dong. Their eyes widened in shock.
"I said the Immortal Herb is with me." Xing Jue had a calm smile on his face as he took out the Sealing Sphere that sealed the Immortal Herb.
This Level Six immortal herb didn't look too different from a Level Five immortal herb. If it wasn't for the Grass Seeking Disc's guidance, even Xing Jue wouldn't have been able to tell that this was a Level Six immortal herb. Thus, he wasn't worried that the crowd would recognize the true form of the immortal herb.
"This … this … this …"
Elder Lei Dong was speechless as he sized up the sealing ball in Xing Jue's hand. This was because he had already confirmed that what was sealed within the ball was indeed a rank 5 Immortal Herb, and it was absolutely not a fake.
However, when he thought about how Xing Jue had managed to capture the Celestial Herb that even the three Chosen Sons of Heaven could not find, Elder Lei Dong found it hard to believe, even though the truth was right before his eyes.
"Junior Xing Jue, what a good move," Bai Ye said. Bai Ye opened his mouth, but his face was filled with a strange expression. Xing Jue could even see that the corners of his mouth were twitching violently.
He was not the only one. At this moment, even Lu Yuan's face was twitching. Even Murong Xiaoxiao's slightly opened mouth was filled with shock. Only Elder Zhuge and Elder Qiu Yue's gazes became heated as they looked at Xing Jue.
Even though there were people who were unwilling to accept this outcome, due to their status, they had no choice but to concede defeat.
When Xing Jue took out the Immortal Herb, Elder Lei Dong reluctantly handed his Level Five Body Refining Essence to Xing Jue.
Other than the Level Five Body Refining Essence, Xing Jue also successfully obtained Elder Zhuge's Level Five Elixir and Elder Qiu Yue's Jade Crane Mechanism.
The matter of the straw box came to an end, but no one stayed. Elder Lei Dong and Bai Ye returned to Heaven Dao Peak with faces full of unhappiness and unwillingness, while Lu Yuan used the excuse that he had something to do and left alone.
As for Xing Jue, he naturally returned to Hermit Peak with his Master, Elder Zhuge. After all, the journey was long. If he did not travel with his Master, he would inevitably be attacked by Lu Yuan.
After all, even though Lu Yuanxiously treated Xing Jue as amiably as he did in the past, he hated Xing Jue to the bone a long time ago, and he wished for nothing more than to tear Xing Jue into a thousand pieces. The two of them had already formed a great enmity that could not be resolved, and they were bound to be irreconcilable enemies.
Outside the Ethereal Peak, two enchanting figures stood in the air. They were Elder Qiu Yue and Murong Xiaoxiao, who had sent Xing Jue and Bai Ye off.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you think of Xing Jue?" After watching Elder Zhuge and Xing Jue enter the space tunnel, Elder Qiu Yue asked with a smile.
"Extraordinary talent and quick-witted. If he can continue to grow, he will definitely become a great person," Murong Xiaoxiao said honestly. This was her true opinion of Xing Jue.
"How is he compared to Yuwen Junhao?" Elder Qiu Yue continued to smile.
"Elder Qiu Yue, what do you mean?" Hearing the name Yuwen Junhao, Murong Xiaoxiao's body suddenly trembled, and a trace of change appeared on her beautiful face.
"You have the Heaven Enlightening Jade Body, but you can't bear the power of Heaven Enlightening. If you can't break through to the mid-level Martial God Realm in two years, the Sect Master will betroth you to Yuwen Junhao and transfer your Heaven Enlightening power to him."
"Yuwen Junhao is not only the number one person in the younger generation, but he is also the future successor of the Heaven Dao Peak. Marrying you to him won't be a bad thing, but are you really willing to do that?" Elder Qiu Yue said meaningfully.
After hearing Elder Qiu Yue's words, Murong Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered. She slowly lowered her head as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and asked solemnly, "Elder Qiu Yue, I want to enter the Luosha Forbidden Area."
"Have you finally decided?" Elder Qiu Yue seemed to have been waiting for this answer.
"Yes." Murong Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. Her charming face was filled with determination.
Two days later, Xing Jue and Elder Zhuge returned to the Hermit Peak. As for how Xing Jue caught the Immortal Grass, and how he learned such a profound Spirit Formation technique, Elder Zhuge did not take the initiative to ask.
Moreover, Elder Zhuge personally helped Xing Jue apply to enter the Cloud Abode and become a personal disciple. In less than a year after Xing Jue arrived at the Return Peak, he finally had a place in the Cloud Abode that belonged to him.
The Cloud Abode was much vaster than the Cloud Abode. As for the name of the Cloud Abode, it was still called the Contemplative Abode. Only Xing Jue knew the meaning of its name.
At present, the bloody battle between Mount Wu and Mount Wuzhi had already spread throughout the world. It became the hottest topic in the world.
The headmasters of Mount Wuzhi had also come out of seclusion and were discussing how to deal with Mount Wu. However, such a matter did not have much to do with a person like Xing Jue. After all, compared to those influential people, he was only a small character.
After settling the Cloud Abode, Xing Jue did not hurry to tour the scenery on the Cloud Abode, nor did he go to the place where the personal disciples cultivated in seclusion. Instead, he took out the Book of Immortal Grasses and read it carefully.
"This is … Why am I able to find the flaws in the amulets so suddenly? Could it be that I have made a breakthrough in my power and my brain has become sharper? "
But when Xing Jue looked at the undecipherable amulets again, he found the flaws with a glance. This really surprised Xing Jue.
Because ever since Xing Jue had grasped the World God's Spirit Formation Technique, he had studied the Book of Immortal Grasses in an attempt to decipher the later contents. However, he did not succeed.
At that moment, he found the way to decipher the amulets so easily. Naturally, Xing Jue was surprised. However, he did not know that such extraordinary comprehension was a gift from Murong Xiaoxiao.
"The Book of Immortal Grasses is indeed not simple. I wonder who wrote this."
Although he did not know the reason for his increased comprehension, Xing Jue had indeed deciphered all the later contents. After reading the entire Book of Immortal Grasses, Xing Jue was even more shocked by the contents of the book.
Not to mention the method to quickly improve one's alchemy skills recorded in the later parts of the Book of Immortal Grasses, Xing Jue was extremely excited when he found out how to use a Rank Six Divine Herb.
A Level Six Immortal Herb was a miraculous item of Heaven and Earth. In the Book of Immortal Herbs, there were many ways to refine it. And now, Xing Jue had already chosen a type of pill. It was a Level Six pill known as the Soul Breaking Pill.
After consuming the pill, he would be able to break through to the beginner-level Asura Martial God when he was a high-level Asura Wu Zun. To Xing Jue, such a powerful medicinal effect was extremely beneficial. It was simply an incomparably great temptation.
However, a sixth-grade elixir was extremely difficult to refine. Putting aside the fact that Xing Jue had to gather all the complicated ingredients, he would need a certain amount of time just to improve his alchemy level.
Therefore, in addition to cultivating, Xing Jue also needed to continuously improve his alchemy level and collect those complicated materials at the same time.
"Idiot!!!"
However, at that moment, within Xing Jue's Paradise, a sweet and sweet-sounding voice suddenly rang out. The voice was so familiar that without thinking too much, Xing Jue knew who had come to visit.
"Young Mistress, you're really free."
Just as Xing Jue had expected, when he walked out of the luxurious palace, he saw the little beauty Bao 'er walking toward him with her hands behind her back.
On her handsome face, there was a sweet and sweet smile, as if the word "worry" would never appear on her face.
"What do you mean I'm really free? I know you're back, so I purposely made some time to visit you. You should know how badly I've been tortured by that old hag every day. "
Bao 'er walked up to Xing Jue in a mischievous manner. With a leap, she leaped onto the roof of the palace and swung her jade-like legs like a playful child.
"Come on, what kind of person is that? So many people begged her to torture them, but you're actually so unwilling." Xing Jue leaped onto the roof and said with a smile.
As for the old hag that Bao 'er had mentioned, Xing Jue had already heard from Elder Zhuge. That was a very extraordinary person. Even the Sect Leader had to be respectful when he saw her. She was known as the Heavenly Silkworm Granny.
Although this Heavenly Silkworm Granny was only a guest elder of the Hermit Peak, she was a terrifying person who had lived for more than a thousand years. It was said that only the Supreme Elder of Mount Wuzhi could compare to her. She was a living legend.
However, this Heavenly Silkworm Granny only guarded the Hermit Peak. She had never cared about anything in the Hermit Peak. No one could order her, and no one dared to.
However, just a few days ago, she actually took a fancy to Bao 'er. No matter what, she wanted to take Bao' er as her disciple and teach her everything she knew.
If someone else encountered such a thing, they would definitely be grinning from ear to ear even in their sleep. However, who knew that Bao 'er would reject her.
However, the most surprising thing was that not only did the proud and aloof Heavenly Silkworm Granny not give up, she even pestered Bao 'er all day and forced her to teach Bao' er combat skills.
As such, on the Hermit Peak, there were often strange scenes of a young girl flying at high speed with an old hag chasing after her and the two of them insulting each other.
If Xing Jue was already a famous person on the Hermit Peak, then Bao 'er, who had entered the Hermit Peak at the same time as Xing Jue, was clearly much more famous than him.
"Tsk, you're a frog in a well." Bao 'er rolled her beautiful eyes at Xing Jue, as if she was looking down on his ignorance. Then, she said proudly, "Quick, thank me!"
"Huh?" Xing Jue's mouth was wide open. He had no idea what Bao 'er was talking about.
"Thank me. If it wasn't for my poison pill that saved you, would you still be alive and kicking?" Bao 'er raised her eyebrows.
"How did you know that your poison pill saved me?"
"Nonsense. The poison pill has my soul imprint. If it wasn't for me removing the poison pill's effects when you were on the verge of death, do you think it would have automatically saved you?"
"So it was you?!"
Hearing this, Xing Jue couldn't help but be shocked. He never would have thought that the person who saved him at the critical moment was this naughty little girl in front of him.
