The light element shone brightly, illuminating the place.
The cave was about ten meters wide. A stone bed was placed in the corner, taking up half of the space. In front of the bed was a stone box, half a meter wide and one meter long. It had an ancient feel. It was filled with pebble-sized crystals, sparkling and translucent.
"I found this cave a long time ago. Every time my father came, I wanted to tell him, but he came and left quickly. He left after a glance at me, so I didn't have a chance to tell him."
Wutian comforted her, "Your father must have something important to do. He can't stay for too long."
"Brother Wutian, how do you know? My father said the same thing every time, but I really want him to stay for a few more days. "Shi Shi raised her delicate face with a trace of disappointment.
"Because everyone has something to do. Don't you have to take care of Little Blossom too?" Wutian rubbed the little girl's head and comforted her. Then he walked to the stone box and picked up a crystal. He looked at it carefully and gradually frowned.
The crystal had edges and corners like a diamond. It was dazzling. Suddenly, a stream of heat flowed from the crystal into his palm and gathered in his Qi Sea.
"Profound Qi." Wutian was surprised. This stream of heat gave him the same feeling as the Profound Qi that Little Tian refined. It was even purer, as majestic as the vast ocean.
He put down the Profound Qi and stepped on the ground. The ground was very solid and very hard. Then he walked to the stone wall thoughtfully. It was very smooth without any cracks. He reached out and touched it. A layer of dust fell off.
Wutian looked around, and there was understanding in her eyes.
This cave was very strange. It was as if a space had been cut open in a huge rock. He suspected that this might be the cave of an ancient person because it was a kind of rock called ironstone. This rock was even harder than black iron. If it was weathered into dust, it would take at least a thousand years.
"Shi Shi, when you found this place, was there anything else?" Wutian asked.
Shi Shi thought for a while and said, "I think there was a skeleton. I thought he was quite pitiful, so I buried him outside."
"That seems to be the case."
Wutian was very curious. He carefully looked at every corner. The Immortal Cave of the ancient people from a thousand years ago would definitely not only have this amount of Essence Qi. Perhaps they would have left behind some strange treasures.
Little Tian was already very happy. It jumped onto the Essence Qi and looked left and right. Its saliva flew everywhere. In the end, it lay on the Essence Qi and crossed its legs. Little stars were spinning in its eyes. At the same time, it vigilantly glanced at Xiao Yi. Obviously, it wanted to take her for itself.
It turned out that it was not only greedy for food, but also for money!
Xiao Yi rolled her eyes and raised her snow-white head high. She was very disdainful. What she meant was, "You can take it, I don't care about these broken beads."
"Big Brother Wutian, what are you looking for?" Shi Shi asked curiously as she watched him walk around.
"Looking for treasures." Wutian didn't even turn his head. He knocked here and looked there, not missing a single inch.
"Hee hee!" Shi Shi laughed very happily, and said, "This is a dead man's cave, what good things can there be!"
"Uh! Not necessarily, these Essence Qi are good things. It's just that you don't understand. I think there are definitely other things. " Wutian's face didn't turn red. He wanted to get rich from the dead. He walked to the stone bed and climbed down. He reached his hand under the bed and randomly felt around.
"En? I think I found it. " Under the stone bed, he felt something hard and cold. "Shishi, let me borrow your light for a moment."
Shi Shi curiously ran over. She lay on the ground and stretched her hand under the bed. The inside was brightly lit, so she could see clearly.
"Yi, there really is something!" Shi Shi was surprised. She wanted to take it out, but found that her hand wasn't long enough.
"Little guy, come and help." Wutian's hand couldn't reach it, so he called Little Tian for help.
Hearing that there was a treasure, the little guy ran over eagerly. Its long and narrow eyes glanced around and immediately lit up. It ran in excitedly, but when it came out, it had a disinterested look. It threw the thing down and jumped back onto the stone box.
This was a very ordinary ring. It was pitch-black and looked very ancient. There were traces of peeling on the surface. There were no other decorations, but there were three small words engraved on it. They were twisted and difficult to read.
"This ring is so ugly." Shi Shi pursed her lips. It was a woman's nature to love beauty, and this little girl was no exception.
After looking at the ring for a while, Wutian couldn't see anything special about it. He was a little disappointed. He thought it was some kind of treasure, but it turned out to be an ordinary object. He was unwilling to give up. He searched for a while more, but found nothing. He gave up.
Perhaps the owner of this cave was not very strong, so there weren't many precious things. Wutian put the ring into his clothes and began to move.
Although there were no treasures, the Essence Qi was not bad. It had existed for a thousand years, and the Essence Qi was still so rich. If he refined and absorbed it all, he would definitely break through to a higher level.
"Gua gua …" The little guy didn't let it go. It lay on the top of the ring and bared its fangs and claws. It meant that this was mine and he wasn't allowed to take it.
"Little thing, let go. You can't fight with big brother." Shi Shi was amused and giggled. She went forward to persuade it, but the little guy was stubborn. It was like a little money slave, guarding its private property and would not agree even if it was beaten to death.
"Get out of my way." Wutian's veins bulged. His face was pitch-black as if it was smeared with black ash. However, it was met with an even fiercer resistance. The little guy vowed not to let go.
Xiao Yi whispered and glanced over, as if she was mocking it. The little guy was unhappy and angrily barked at it. Its meaning was, 'Little white dog, just you wait. I'll peel off your skin and make it into underwear.'
One man and one beast glared at each other. In the end, Wutian said that they would split it equally. The little guy thought for a while and reluctantly compromised. However, it was not at ease and wanted to divide it by itself.
The little guy took out one by one and divided it into two piles. Every time it threw it to Wutian's pile, it would pause and twitch. It was extremely reluctant and unwilling. Wutian and the others looked on from the side and were very speechless.
Time passed day by day. Wutian had stayed here for ten days.
In these ten days, he accompanied Shishi to play around. He left his footprints on every inch of this pure land. He saw all kinds of flowers and plants, as well as all kinds of strange beasts. They were all very friendly and never took the initiative to attack.
Since Little Tian got the Profound Qi, it no longer had any ideas about Xiao Yi. It also did not accompany Wutian to wander around. It moved the Profound Qi to the lawn and lay there all day long, sleeping.
Every time he passed by here, Wutian would look at the sky speechlessly and sulk in his heart.
If the little guy snatched the Profound Qi to increase its strength, he would not say anything. On the contrary, he would support it. But it was just a decoration and a mattress. It was purely for fun. Wasn't it a waste of natural resources? He was very angry.
Prodigal, this was the nickname he gave to the little guy.
"Brother Wutian, you are cultivating again. I really don't know what's so fun about cultivating. It's better to be happy and live a relaxed life." Shi Shi was wearing a white dress today. Her big eyes sparkled like a little fairy.
She had never been so happy as these days. The emptiness in her heart seemed to be filled. She felt very full and warm. She had not known this big brother for a long time, and her heart was filled with dependence. This was the dependence of family.
Wutian opened his eyes. These days, every time the sun rose, he would come to the cliff to cultivate and absorb the Profound Qi. It was indeed an antique from a thousand years ago. The Profound Qi was so abundant that it was shocking. One Profound Qi was enough for him to refine for a day.
From the cave, he had obtained ninety Profound Qi. So far, he had only refined ten of them. The Profound Qi in his Qi Sea had become several times richer. It was as sticky as paste. He was not far from breaking through.
Withdrawing his aura, Wutian stood up. He scratched her little nose and said with a smile, "Cultivating is not a game. Cultivating can make you stronger. You can protect your family from being bullied. You can protect Shi Shi from being taken away by demon beasts."
"Brother, you want to protect Shi Shi? Really?" The little girl looked up and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, of course. Shi Shi is brother's good little sister. Of course, I want to protect you."
Shi Shi happily said, "Then brother must protect me for the rest of my life. You can't let anyone bully me. You can't make me cry. Pinky promise. You can't go back on your words."
"Okay, brother will protect Shi Shi for the rest of my life." Wutian said dotingly. He made a pinky promise with her little hand.
"Hee hee, brother, when are we leaving? I haven't been out since I was little. I really want to see the outside world." Shi Shi happily asked.
Leave? Uh! Wutian was stunned. Did he fall into the little girl's trap?
"Shi Shi, brother can't take you away. Brother still has a lot of things to do. If you follow me, it will only bring you danger. Moreover, if you leave, father won't be able to see you. He will be worried to death."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Shi's smile disappeared. Her eyes gradually became red and swollen. Tears flowed from her eyes. "Brother, were you lying to Shi Shi? You said you will protect Shi Shi for the rest of her life and not let her cry. Were you lying to me? "
The little girl's tears flowed down. She cried very sadly, making one's heart ache.
Wutian hugged her and said softly, "Shi Shi, brother didn't lie to you. Brother's enemies are very strong. If you follow me, your life will be in danger. How about this, after brother finishes his business, I will come and accompany you. "
"Business, business, it's all business. Father is the same. Brother is also the same. You all use such lies to deceive me. I hate you all!" Shi Shi pushed him away and turned to run to the pavilion.
"Clatter!"
A drop of sparkling tear fell into Wutian's hand. It was icy cold and soaked into his soul. He really wanted to slap himself. He knew that he could not fulfill his promise, but he still made it.
"Grandfather, was the promise you made to me also a lie?" Wutian murmured with a sad expression.
He caught up and pulled the little girl. "Shi Shi, I'm sorry. Brother made you cry. Brother promises you that we will leave tomorrow."
Since he had already made a promise, he had to do it. He did not want Shi Shi to be as sad as he was. This was a kind of obsession and also a regret in his heart.
"Really? Brother didn't lie to me this time? "Shi Shi blinked her big eyes, somewhat in disbelief.
"Yes." Wutian nodded.
"Hehe, I know that brother loves me the most." The little girl's face was full of joy. Her little face was full of yearning. She could finally leave this place. She was looking forward to the outside world.
On this day, Shi Shi did many things. She went to the flower bushes to pull out weeds, told the little flowers to grow well, watered the pine bamboos, fed the birds above, and even went to see all the monsters in this pure land and bid them farewell.
At night, she sat by the pond all night, looking at the stars in the sky. She told her father that she was going to leave.
Only when the sky turned white and the sun rose did she get up and return to the pavilion. She did not want her father to worry, so she left a letter.
She was reluctant to leave. This was the home she had lived in for twelve years. She could not give it up for a while. Finally, a few drops of tears fell, making a crisp sound. She left with Xiao Yi.
