Su Yihua and his disciple spent the night on the boat. On the morning of the second day, they arrived at Frost Maple Island. They wanted to pay their respects to the Island Master Weng Rao, but they heard that he had gone to the Chan Palace Flower Festival and would only be back after a few days. Thus, they could only wait at the inn at the foot of the mountain. []
After Weng Yinling brought the two of them to the island, she was considered to have completed her task. She gave them a few words and disappeared.
For seven days, nobody bothered about the two of them.
Until half a month later, when Weng Rao returned from the flower festival, he summoned Su Yihua to meet him.
Even though this person seemed to be very courteous to him on the surface, he actually revealed a faint sense of alienation. Moreover, this person had hinted repeatedly in secret that he shouldn't tell anyone about how he'd saved him all those years ago.
Su Yihua had expected this and took the initiative to ask for a quiet place to cultivate without disturbing others. He did not dare to ask for too much.
Weng Rao was satisfied with his adaptability and sent him to a place called Scattered Valley Island to cultivate.
When the two of them arrived at Scattered Valley Island the next day, they realized that the place was barren and gravel with only a few weeds. Moreover, the spiritual vigor was scattered, it was definitely not a good place to cultivate.
Zheng Jiang scoffed and said angrily, "Teacher, you're right. Weng Rao is indeed a mean and ungrateful person. He didn't think that if it wasn't for teacher, he would've died in East Sea. How could he be so carefree now? "
Su Yihua chuckled and said, "Although I'm here to avoid trouble, I'm also looking for that small world. The colder Frost Maple Island treats me, the easier it will be."
Zheng Jiang felt indignant and said, "I know that too, but I'm still angry."
Su Yihua sighed. This disciple of mine is talented, but he's too impatient and straightforward. He doesn't have any shrewdness. When his cultivation base is higher, he must let him go out to gain more experience.
Zheng Jiang said, "Teacher, it's still early. Are we going to look for that small world?"
Su Yihua waved his hand and said, "There's no rush."
He took out three sticks of incense and shook them gently in his hand. A wisp of smoke rose in spirals. Up above. Seeing the vague outline of a cloud appear in the empty sky, he looked at it a few times, and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Someone is using the Farsighted Mirror Technique to observe us."
The All-Seeing Mirror Technique. He was borrowing the appearance of the clouds. Using the clouds as a mirror, those with profound cultivation could see every blade of grass and every tree within a hundred miles. Everything was under his watch.
Zheng Jiang exclaimed, "Teacher, could it be that Frost Maple Island is up to no good?"
Su Yihua shook his head and said, "Weng Rao was still worried when we first arrived here, so he sent someone to keep an eye on us. But since we are already here, there is no need to rush. I expect that he will leave after a while."
In the next half a month, he only meditated in seclusion every day. Occasionally, he would go out and capture some small demons to be his servants.
When he came back today, he raised the incense stick to take a look, but found that the big cloud in the sky had already disappeared. Knowing that it had left, he was instantly in a good mood. Although this was a deserted island, looking at it now, the blue seawater was boundless, and it gave off a feeling of boundless sea and sky.
He waited patiently for a few more days. Seeing that the other party didn't return, he was finally at ease. He handed the cave to the small demons to take care of, and brought Zheng Jiang to look around.
Although there were hundreds of sects in Fengling Ocean, there were only three that were the most powerful. The people in charge of the sects were all Yuanying cultivators, and Frost Maple Island was one of them. Therefore, the sea it occupied was extremely vast, and there were countless islands and reefs. Everywhere he went, he took out a talisman and cast a spell to see if there was any response.
This talisman was also exchanged from a disciple of Yue Heng Mountain at a high price. It was the key to finding a small world.
After about three days, he arrived at a small island with a dense stone forest. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly felt the talisman in his sleeve tremble. Just Now, he took it out, and with a swoosh, it turned into a golden light and flew away.
Su Yihua was not surprised, but happy instead. He pulled his disciple and chased after it with his escape technique. He saw the golden light reach a stone pillar that was thirty feet tall, cast it down, and disappeared.
He landed and walked a few rounds in front of the stone pillar. After confirming that there were no restrictions, he lightly blew out a breath of clear air, and the stone pillar collapsed with a rumble. He waved his horsetail whisk, and the dust rolled away, revealing a hole in the ground. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he said, "It should be here."
Zheng Jiang said, "Master, please wait for a moment. Disciple will go and scout first."
Su Yihua grabbed him and said, "No need. We don't know if there are formations inside. You wait here, master will go down and take a look."
He leaped down and landed ten feet below. He saw that he was in an underground palace. At a glance, there were countless passageways, but he didn't know which one was the right one.
However, he had a way. He took out a jade crane from his sleeve and tossed it into the sky. The crane fluttered its wings and flew up. After circling one round, it let out a long cry and flew towards a passageway on the left.
Su Yihua smiled and followed the flying crane for two hours. Suddenly, he fell to the ground and didn't move anymore. He knew that he had reached his destination. He raised his head and saw that in front of him was a big hall with cloud walls and silver stairs. In the middle, there were two spell altars. Behind it was a thirty feet tall stone mirror, polished to the point that one could see the reflection.
His gaze turned and saw that the talisman had landed on the spell altar on the left. Immediately, a look of joy appeared on his face. He floated over and picked up the talisman. Immediately, he channeled his mana into it. Then, he saw the surface of the stone mirror ripple like the surface of water rippling.
He was even more delighted when he saw this. How could he not know that the door was here? He immediately circulated his mana. However, after ten minutes, the ripples gradually disappeared. No matter how much he tried, there was no movement.
His face darkened and he frowned, "This place is indeed not bad."
After thinking for a while, he looked at the spell altar in front of him and thought, "Could it be that I want two talismans?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.
"That Zhenren had two disciples. Since this talisman was obtained from a disciple of Yue Heng Mountain, then the other half is most likely in the hands of a descendant of the Weng Family. However, if that's the case, it's a little difficult. This kind of item passed down by the patriarch will definitely be held in high esteem. It's impossible to obtain it using ordinary methods. Could it be that I have to resort to robbery? "
After thinking for a while, he felt that he could only go back and slowly think of a way. Thus, he picked up the talisman and went back the way he came. Zheng Jiang said, "Teacher …"
Su Yihua waved his hand and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's talk when we get back."
Zheng Jiang could see that his teacher was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to ask anymore and hurriedly said yes.
The two of them flew for half a day and returned to Scattered Valley Island.
However, Just Now when they landed, they saw a golden flying ship coming from afar. Zheng Jiang instantly became nervous and said, "Teacher, did we reveal some flaws? Did Frost Maple Island come to punish us? "
Su Yihua was very calm and comforted him, "Don't panic. There are only two or three people on that ship. We're very careful. Frost Maple Island wouldn't know about it. Even if they knew, why would they only send these people?"
Only then did Zheng Jiang feel relieved.
The flying ship arrived on the island. A handsome young cultivator floated down from the ship and landed in front of the cave abode.
"Zhou Zishang?"
Su Yihua's heart trembled when he saw this person. He quickly thought, "What is he doing here?"
Zhou Zishang walked over with a slight smile on his face. He walked up and cupped his hands, saying, "I've been a guest on Frost Maple Island for the past few days. I heard that Master is also here, so I came to visit you."
Su Yihua returned the greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist, you look a little familiar. How do you know me?"
Zhou Zishang looked straight into his eyes and said, "Master Su doesn't know me, but I do."
Su Yihua pretended to be surprised and took a few steps back. He said, "I'm Hua Xin. I don't know who Master Su is. I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else."
Zhou Zishang glanced at him and said with a playful smile, "Fellow Daoist, you don't need to hide. Since I'm here, I already know who you are."
Su Yihua's heart sank, but killing intent appeared in his eyes.
Zhou Zishang didn't seem to care at all. He smiled and said, "Master Su, don't panic. I'm your friend, not your enemy. I don't have any ill intentions. I only came here today to say one thing."
Su Yihua stared at him and said slowly, "Please speak, Fellow Daoist."
Zhou Zishang smiled and said, "Qincang School can't accommodate Master Su, but Yuxiao can. It's up to Fellow Daoist to choose."
He took off a jade pendant and tossed it over. He said, "I'll be a guest on Frost Maple Island for the next few days. I won't be leaving anytime soon. Fellow Daoist can come and find me anytime."
After that, he cupped his hands again and smiled. Without any hesitation, he boarded the flying ship and left the island.
Zheng Jiang watched as the flying ship gradually disappeared into the distance. He said, "Master, can his words be trusted?"
Su Yihua said coldly, "So what if it's true? So what if it's false? If I really enter Yuxiao school, my life and death will be in my own hands."
Not to mention that he didn't believe Zhou Zishang's words, even if he really wanted to recruit him into Yuxiao school, he wouldn't agree.
Back then, Master Su could become one of the five great clans of Qincang School because he had the support of the Heavenly Abode. Now, he was alone without any roots or foundation. With the Dragon Manor, it was like a child holding gold in a busy market. Even if he entered Yuxiao school, the other party could find a reason to kill him at any time. At that time, the True Dragon Manor would naturally belong to Yuxiao school.
However, since the other party already knew his identity, if he didn't agree, he would definitely use forceful methods.
He pondered for a long time, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Since that was the case, he might as well make use of it to avoid this disaster.
After Wei Zihong left Qincang School, he went to the South Sea. However, because in a few years, it would be the time when the Devil's Cave would appear. Cultivators from small sects that depended on Yuxiao could be seen everywhere in the South East Continent. Just like in the North, all the places with spiritual mountains and beautiful waters had restrictions and altars.
If he went straight there, he would definitely be discovered. Therefore, he could only go around in secret.
However, after reaching the sea, the further south he went, the more he felt that Yuxiao was powerful. Almost every island had cultivators patrolling around it.
When he passed by the Southern Cliff Continent, he could see floating rafts and flying boats in the sky from afar. They were so densely packed that they almost covered the sky and the sun.
He was also secretly shocked. Out of caution, he also stayed far away. Half a month later, he was already in front of the Fengling Ocean.
