The sun had just risen, and there was no one to send them off. This kind of thing wouldn't be known by everyone anyway. Enlightened Masters Yu Xu and Yu Lian took Miao Yi and flew across the sky.
After leaving the mountain barrier formation, Miao Yi's flying speed naturally couldn't keep up. Yu Xu held onto Miao Yi's arm as they flew towards the rising sun.
As the sun rose from the east, they faced the dazzling golden light high up in the sky. The vast land gradually came into view.
They flew over mountains and rivers, and entered the vast ocean. After half a day, they opened their transcendence vision and could see a faint purple aura shrouding the sky.
"Eh! What's with that purple aura? "Miao Yi pointed ahead.
"We've arrived at the Soul Island." Yu Xu replied. He and Yu Lian slowed down their flying speed, and entered the purple sky that could only be seen with his transcendence vision.
"Where?" Miao Yi opened his transcendence vision and looked around. How could there be an island in the vast blue sea? Could it be under the sea?
Yu Xu flipped his palm, and a golden token floated in his palm. A golden glow suddenly enveloped the token. Yu Xu waved his hand, and the golden token shot towards the sea below. However, before it could reach the surface of the sea, the golden light flashed and disappeared into thin air.
Having seen the Qi School's mountain barrier formation in Mount Wu, Miao Yi wasn't ignorant. He immediately guessed that the Soul Island might be concealed by the formation, and outsiders couldn't see it from the outside. Miao Yi asked, "Enlightened Master, what was that token just now?"
Enlightened Master Yu Xu explained, "After a predecessor of the Qi School reached the Cailian realm and ascended to the Heaven Court, he requested a token for the Qi School from the Heaven Court …"
After the general situation was explained, Miao Yi understood that the Qi School also had a predecessor who, after reaching a certain realm, was recruited by the Heaven Court and became an official in the Heaven Court. That ancestor, on account of their old friendship, requested for a token of permission for the Vital Energy Sect to come to the Spirit Island to exchange for spiritual herbs. This was because not every sect had the right to come to the Spirit Island to exchange for spiritual herbs. The world that the Heaven Court controlled was not just this small world. There were plenty of spiritual herbs that they could obtain, so there was no need for them to trade with the people from the lower realm. This was the benefit of having connections in the Heaven Court.
Soon, a cloud of mist appeared in the air below. The mist gradually expanded and spun, spinning faster and faster. A passageway appeared in the middle of the rotation.
The two Enlightened Masters quickly dragged Miao Yi into the passageway below. As soon as they exited the passageway, they saw that the sky was still the same, and the sea was still the same. However, there was now a huge lush island. There was a high platform made of jade on the island that extended from the island. It was a magnificent white jade archway, and on the left and right of the archway stood a burly golden-armored deity, each holding a Heavenly Halberd in their hands, standing in front of a jade stone pillar.
"The disciples of the Vitality Sect greet the two Heaven Immortals!" Master Yu Xu stepped forward and bowed. Miao Yi and Yu Lian followed suit.
However, Miao Yi still couldn't help sneaking a glance at the two Heaven Immortals. He muttered to himself, 'A full set of Crystalline Gold transcendent artifacts … I wonder what grade they are.'
"Mm!" The Celestial Immortal who guarded the door answered, and threw the golden plate back to Yu Xu.
After that, Yu Xu took out three more Basic Immortal Pills and asked the two Heaven Immortals to accept them. He also thanked them for their hard work. At this moment, the Heaven Immortal guarding the door handed over a jade disc. He asked the three of them to register.
Miao Yi understood. His trip here had probably allowed the Vitality Sect to obtain an additional Basic Immortal Pill.
The three of them placed their transcendence seals on the jade disc, and received the acknowledgment that the Heaven Immortal guarding the door had allowed them to enter.
After receiving permission, the two Enlightened Masters led Miao Yi into the archway with great respect. As soon as he stepped into the archway, he felt a wave of transcendence energy. The scene before his eyes rippled, and the scene before him changed again. It was no longer the island he saw before.
It was an even more lush island, with towering trees that were so huge that it made one's hair stand on end. It was filled with an ancient aura. Looking around, there was a forest garden on the highest mountain peak of the island. He didn't know what was inside the garden, but when he opened his transcendence vision, he could see purple clouds soaring into the sky. The purple clouds in the sky that he saw from the outside came from the forest garden on this island.
Miao Yi finally understood that there was a formation within a formation. If anyone were to sneak past the first formation and come ashore without reason, they would definitely be discovered by the island's guards. The security here was really tight.
Walking down the jade platform, he walked onto a small jade path that snaked into the depths of the forest.
Outsiders were not allowed to fly here, so they could only walk on foot. Those who entered must abide by the rules.
As he walked into the forest, the fragrance of all sorts of exotic flowers and herbs assailed his nostrils. The towering trees were so huge that they made one's hair stand on end, making one feel as tiny as an ant. Beneath every tree was a tree hole. Since the terrain was suitable, Miao Yi's eyes lit up, and he noticed that there were yellow qiongzhi growing inside the tree holes. It was the item he was here to trade for.
"Enlightened Master, yellow qiongzhi. This must be at least a thousand years old, right?" Miao Yi clicked his tongue, and was about to walk out of the path to take a look inside the tree hole.
However, Enlightened Master Yu Xu pulled him back. "What are you doing? Can you run around here? "
Miao Yi turned around and saw that Yu Xu and Yu Lian's expressions had darkened. He then remembered that he had to follow them closely and not run around. He laughed dryly and nodded. "I'll remember it. I'll remember it."
The three of them continued along the winding path. Following behind them, Miao Yi couldn't help but ask, "Enlightened Masters, are we not allowed to even take a look around after entering this place? Is there some sort of rule? "
Yu Xu replied, "There aren't any rules, but it's best to be careful. There are spiritual herbs planted everywhere here. It'll be hard to explain if they go missing. If you cause any trouble and your entry token is revoked, you can forget about entering this place to trade for spiritual herbs ever again. "
"Oh! I understand. "Miao Yi nodded. He thought to himself, 'I was just scaring myself.'
However, he could understand how these two were feeling. Not only was this related to their interests, but it was also related to the interests of the entire sect.
This place was huge. Walking through the forest, they couldn't see a single small tree. Most likely, the small trees wouldn't be able to grow at all. The sunlight was completely blocked by the ancient trees, and the shade of the trees was filled with moss and all sorts of strange ferns.
After walking briskly for about an hour, they finally arrived in front of a towering palace at the center of the island. It was actually a Mountain Deity Temple, but the people who built it made it look as luxurious as a palace itself. It was said that the Mountain Deity here had a very high rank and cultivation, and was in charge of everything on this spiritual island. There were even golden-armored deities standing guard at the foot of the tall stairs outside.
"Do you think anyone can meet the Mountain Deity? There's no need for so many people to go in. "The golden-armored deity stopped Miao Yi from going in with them.
Yu Xu and Yu Lian had no choice but to say to Miao Yi, "Wait here. Don't run around."
"Got it." Miao Yi nodded, and watched as Yu Xu and Yu Lian went up the stairs.
Miao Yi could only walk to the side as well. He crossed his arms over his abdomen and turned around to admire the wondrous scenery of the spiritual island that was somewhere between fantasy and reality.
However, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, one would eventually get tired of looking at it if they stayed in one place for too long. Miao Yi would occasionally turn back to look at the purple aura on the mountain peak not far away. He wondered what was hidden in the garden on the mountain.
After waiting for a while, Yu Xu and Yu Lian still hadn't come out. Miao Yi walked up to the two golden-armored deities and cupped his fists, "Heavenly Immortals, how long will it take for them to come out?"
One of the golden-armored deities standing on the stairs looked down at Miao Yi with disdain, while the other scoffed, "Don't block the way. Stand to the side and wait patiently. They won't be coming out anytime soon."
'Damn it, it's just two guards!' Miao Yi muttered in his heart. Some words could only be cursed in his heart. He didn't dare to say it out loud.
However, after Miao Yi looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, he took out two storage rings and handed them over, "Great Immortals, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
The two golden-armored deities looked to their left and right as well. Seeing that there were no outsiders, they exchanged glances and each took a storage ring. There were ten million Gold Crystals in each ring.
Crystal coins were used between mortals and cultivators in a small world, but only between cultivators in a large world.
The two Heavenly Immortals accepted the rings without batting an eyelid, and their expressions relaxed. The one who spoke earlier spoke again, "Just wait patiently. Those who came with you won't be coming out anytime soon. They have to first check the age of the spiritual herbs they brought, and then go to the spiritual garden to look for spiritual herbs of the corresponding age to exchange. They won't be able to come out without at least four hours."
'Four hours?' Miao Yi was a little speechless. 'Do I have to wait here for half a day?'
After looking around, Miao Yi asked again, "This is Junior's first time on the spiritual island. Can I take a look around?"
The other golden-armored deity said indifferently, "They're already allowed to come in. What else can't they look around? However, you can take a look around, but don't touch anything. You won't be able to bear the responsibility if anything happens. "
"Thank you for your advice, Heavenly Immortals!" Miao Yi immediately cupped his fists and thanked them. Without another word, he walked to the side.
He wasn't that cautious. It wasn't easy for him to come here. What was the point of going back like this? He might as well not come at all. Since even the people here said that he could take a look around, there would be an explanation later. When the time came, he could just say that the two guards didn't allow him to block the entrance, and that they were the ones who told him to take a look around. They probably wouldn't be able to deny it since they took his money.
'If I hurry up, I should be able to take a look around the entire island in two to four hours …' Miao Yi muttered to himself as he wandered around the island with his hands behind his back.
Occasionally, he saw the patrolling silver-armored deities and the busy little immortals in the garden. They stopped him and asked who he was. Unhurriedly, Miao Yi showed them the receipt of permission to enter the spiritual island. Then, he pushed the two golden-armored deities out of the Mountain God Temple, saying that they told him to look around.
As such, they didn't stop him and warned him not to touch anything.
After wandering around for about an hour, Miao Yi realized that there wasn't much to see. He didn't dare to casually pick the spiritual herbs that were planted here. He wasn't even allowed to touch them. It was really boring.
He walked to a fork in the road and looked around. His gaze fell on the peak of the mountain where the purple aura soared to the heavens. After a moment of hesitation, he still walked up to the peak.
He walked up to a jade archway at the top of the mountain and saw the two ancient words' Apricot Garden 'written on it. Standing at the entrance of the garden, he could smell a sweet fragrance that seeped into his heart. Inside the garden was a tall and thick ancient apricot forest. It was filled with green, red and white apricot fruits. The fruits were slightly translucent and looked extremely adorable.
The purple aura shrouding the forest made it look like a paradise.
Miao Yi stood at the entrance and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he walked in with his hands behind his back.
