In another carriage.
With a kind expression, the old woman who had scolded Wu Dong looked at a young girl, who was sleeping with knitted eyebrows and a painful expression on her face.
The young girl in the green dress had a beautiful appearance. As she slept, strange scenes appeared around her.
A green dragon with sticky saliva dripping from its mouth chased after her through the air. Its eyes were filled with excitement and ferocity.
The scene changed. She accidentally cut her finger while cutting meat to cook. Dark green blood flowed out. She looked at the blood and screamed in horror.
There was another scene. She was walking in the forest. The flowers and plants she passed grew at an amazing speed.
Those scenes were like the realizations of her dreams.
Before long, her forehead and slender neck were covered in sparkling and translucent beads of sweat. She shivered in her sleep, looking very pitiful.
The old woman sighed silently. She took a handkerchief and skillfully wiped the sweat on her body.
Her movements were gentle, afraid that she would wake her up.
"Poor child."
The old woman's face no longer had the arrogance she had when she was with Wu Dong. There was only unspeakable worry and sadness.
…
Late at night, the caravan stopped in the forest to rest.
Qi Yunhong was snoring loudly in his sleep. Saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.
He seemed to be meditating and comprehending the mysteries of the "Azure Sun Art" he cultivated.
Yu Yuan was sorting out the recent events. He thought about how he would feel when he arrived at the Bifeng Mountain Range and saw his mother in this life.
Because of the effect of the "Star Concealing Fruit," he didn't deliberately cultivate or use his soul power to continue refining the Big Dipper Shield.
He hid for a few days and waited for the news of him killing Qu Jing to spread throughout Haoran. He believed that Yan Qiling and the power behind Yan Qiling would definitely make a move.
At that time, the Spirit Void Sect's attempt to kill him in the Scarlet Sun Empire would fail.
"Eh?"
As he sorted out his thoughts, he found that the "Life Altar" in his blood aura world had been quietly touched.
"Could it be that the Spirit Void Sect's Daoist Skysoar and Daoist Tianjing used some secret technique to break through the cover of the" Star Concealing Fruit "and sense my blood aura?"
After a moment of shock, he held his breath and focused on comprehending.
Soon, he realized that it was just a false alarm.
What caused the Life Altar in his body to react a little wasn't the detection of the outside world, but a nearby carriage …
Lifting the curtain, he went outside and looked at a black wooden carriage.
Near the black wooden carriage, the grass on the ground and the trees next to it seemed to be shrouded by a mysterious force, emitting a strong vitality.
The grass was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's another form of life aura. It's different from living beings of flesh and blood. It's from grasses and plants." Yu Yuan rubbed his chin and observed for a while. He was certain that the cause of the abnormality was the person in the black wooden carriage or some strange object.
Because he was worried that carelessly using his soul power would cause the effects of the "Star Concealing Fruit" to fail, he did not act rashly.
He just watched quietly from afar.
Then, a moment later, he saw the old woman with the dragon-headed cane come out from another black wooden carriage. She looked at him coldly with a gloomy and alert gaze.
Yu Yuan smiled indifferently and nodded at the old woman.
The old woman's face instantly turned cold. With a snort, she suddenly called out, "Wu Dong!"
Wu Dong, who had been hiding in the dark and didn't want to show his face, braced himself and got off the carriage upon hearing her call. Wu Dong bowed and said, "What can I do for you, old sister?"
The old woman raised the dragon-headed cane in her hand and pointed it at Yu Yuan. "Tell that kid to come to my carriage."
Wu Dong was taken aback. He hastily said, "He has nothing to do with this!"
"Just do what I tell you to do. Cut the crap!"
After saying these words coldly, the old woman entered the carriage and signaled for Wu Dong to do as he was told.
Yu Yuan heard their conversation with great clarity, and felt that something was amiss.
"Young master?"
At this moment, Qin Yun, who was in the carriage, heard the commotion and asked in a soft voice.
"Don't worry. You can continue to rest," Yu Yuan said casually.
"Okay," Qin Yun replied. He didn't seem to have any intention of coming out to take a look.
His thoughts weren't too different from Qi Yunhong's. He felt that even if the Wen Clan of Beacon City went all out, it wouldn't be enough for Yu Yuan to kill, let alone a Subtle realm late stage old lady.
A few seconds later, Wu Dong came back with a bitter face, looking troubled.
He was about to speak when Yu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'll go with you."
"You heard everything?" Wu Dong asked curiously.
"Mm."
"Little brother, her surname is Wen, that Wen from Beacon City!" Wu Dong lowered his voice and solemnly reminded, "Her temper isn't very good, but she's not a bad person at heart. Later, if she asks you anything, just answer honestly. Don't refute her. Just don't go against her. "
"Okay."
A few moments later, Wu Dong led Yu Yuan into the old woman's carriage.
"Get out." Wen Xin coldly gestured for Wu Dong to leave. Then, she pointed at the seat across from her and gestured for Yu Yuan to sit down. After Wu Dong got out of the carriage, she arrogantly examined him and asked, "Kid, what were you looking at just now?"
There were some runes inscribed on the inside of the carriage that had the effect of isolating sound.
However, they couldn't prevent soul awareness from seeping in.
Yu Yuan glanced at the runes and roughly understood their effects. Since Wu Dong was still outside, with his Subtle realm cultivation, he should be able to eavesdrop on his conversation with the old woman.
"I saw plants growing abnormally fast, and I smelled an unusual aura." Yu Yuan didn't intend to lie. "I believe that there's something in the carriage that's affecting the plants."
Wen Xin's expression changed slightly as she growled, "Wu Dong, get away from me! If you dare to eavesdrop, don't blame me for ignoring our past friendship! "
"Elder sister, I'll get away, but please don't hurt him," Wu Dong said.
Then, Yu Yuan heard the rustling of footsteps outside.
"Alright, from now on, the people outside won't be able to hear our conversation." The old woman straightened her back, exuding a dangerous aura. "I'm Wen Xin from Beacon City's Wen Clan! Kid, who are you? How did you sense those abnormalities? "
"I'm Li Qi from the Silver Moon Empire. I'm currently learning the art of herbs from Bai Shenshen in the Heavenly Medicine Sect of the Bifeng Mountain Range." Yu Yuan made up a lie. "You should know that I'm very familiar with the minute changes in plants since I'm studying in the Heavenly Medicine Sect."
"The Heavenly Medicine Sect of the Silver Moon Empire!" Wen Xin's eyes lit up.
"Mmm."
At this moment, Wen Xin heard low moans coming from the carriage next door. It was a sign that someone was about to wake up.
Wen Xin froze for a moment, then was overjoyed. "He's been sleeping for so long. Why is he suddenly waking up?" She found it strange, so she sent a wisp of her soul awareness out of the carriage and into the one next door.
Then, she heard, "Third Madam, is there someone beside you? He … When he's close to me, I don't have nightmares. There's something about him that makes me feel peaceful and at ease … "
Wen Xin was shocked. When she looked at Yu Yuan again, her gaze became very complicated.
After a while, she asked tentatively, "You don't seem to have stepped onto the path of cultivation?"
Yu Yuan, who had long since made up his mind, snorted and pretended to be dissatisfied. "One doesn't have to be a cultivator to learn the art of herbs! In the Medicine God Sect, there are people who have never cultivated their entire lives and become medicine gods! "
He's a fledgling …
Wen Xin nodded inwardly. Since he wasn't a cultivator, she indeed didn't sense any abnormal soul remembrance or blood aura. She relaxed and said, "Come with me. I'll let you know what caused these plants to be abnormal."
"Fine, I'll go. I'm not afraid you'll swallow me!" Yu Yuan harrumphed.
"Hehe." Wen Xin gave him a fake smile. The wrinkles on her face piled up, making her look indescribably sinister. "I like bold youngsters like you!"
