When Gu Zheng came out, he specially went to the heroic spirit. Seeing that she did not appear, he knew that she had told him everything, so he left in disappointment.
When he returned to the valley, he saw that Xing Cai was still standing there in a daze. After he appeared, she stared at him. Her eyes did not recognize him at all.
In the heroic spirit's words, Xing Cai had already fallen into a coma. At this moment, it was more like her body was instinctively moving.
What made Gu Zheng puzzled was that when Xing Cai came over, Xing Ba agreed and knew that she would definitely tell him about all the dangers she encountered.
She also knew about the Soul-Devouring Flower. He had entered the valley without realizing it. If she knew, how did she get bewitched?
But he had to wait for her to wake up to find out.
However, it was not easy for her to make it to the end. Especially in terms of cultivation, she was weaker than him. The dangers she encountered would only be more difficult.
When he came to the front of the valley, the transparent barrier was firmly blocking the middle.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand to test it. Then, he shook his head. The God of War had left.
The strength of this barrier was not something he could break through. No wonder the heroic spirit said that it would fade after a few hundred years.
This was because the strength of this barrier was at the Grand Heavenly level. Even if it had weakened a lot, it was not something he could break through now.
Actually, it was not entirely correct. If he spent tens of thousands of years, he would definitely break it. After all, it recovered very slowly.
From here, he could not see what was outside. At the same time, he seemed to be isolated from everything outside.
When he returned to the stone platform, Gu Zheng let Yingshao and the others out.
At this moment, Xiao Ye was much more energetic. At least, he was not as weak as before. He felt like he could faint at any time. Xiao Lan and the others had also woken up. However, they were still only opening their eyes. It would take some time for them to move.
"Are we here?" Yingshao looked around and sighed. When she saw Xing Cai, she was shocked. That was because a pair of colorless eyes were staring at her.
"Who is that big sister? Why are you locked up? Did you make a mistake and get locked up by Young Master? "Yingshao took a step back and hid behind Luo Xin. She only revealed her head to look at Gu Zheng.
"I came here to look for her. Don't make wild guesses." Gu Zheng said snappily. Her expression was as if she was deliberately bullying others.
"I called you out for something."
Gu Zheng pondered for a moment and quickly explained the problem he was facing.
"You are a flower that I asked me to find." In the end, Yingshao put on a look of understanding, but Gu Zheng had already seen through it. The other party was probably confused, but she heard the last sentence clearly.
"You could say that, but it's a little dangerous. You're the only one who can go now."
Gu Zheng couldn't think of a way no matter how hard he tried. As for the barrier, he wasn't worried at all. He couldn't break it, but there were other ways to get in.
However, the mutated Soul Devouring Flower gave him a headache. He did not think that he could resist its temptation.
Everyone had their own desires. It was just that they were usually buried deep in their hearts. No one knew.
"No problem. I can go now." Yingshao said with a smile. She didn't feel any danger at all. It was just like a normal trip.
Gu Zheng glanced at Xiao Ye and slowly said, "Let's wait for a period of time. Let's wait until everyone has recovered from their injuries."
Half a year later, everyone had completely recovered. Even Xiao Lan and the others were full of energy as they played around. The person playing with them was naturally Yingshao.
Looking at the silly Xing Cai, Gu Zheng was finally ready to set off.
In fact, he hadn't been idle for half a year. After recovering from his injuries, he began to think about refining pills. He even took out some tree branches to simulate.
It was his first time refining such a high grade pill. In the past, he didn't care about making pills like a joke. But this time, he had to be careful with these limited ingredients.
"Luo Xin? Where's Yingshao? Go and call her back. " Gu Zheng looked around and realized that Yingshao, who was around just now, had disappeared. Perhaps she went inside to play again.
Here, she liked the small pool the most. She often brought the three of them there to play.
After hearing that, Luo Xin immediately ran inside.
After half a day, Gu Zheng was getting impatient. Just as he was about to go and see what was going on, Yingshao's figure finally appeared in the distance.
Yingshao was running in front of him. She was holding a small green object high in her hand. However, it was blocked by half of her palm. It was impossible to see clearly. He could only guess that it was an ornament or something.
"Young master, young master, look! I picked something up!" Yingshao panted as she ran in front of Gu Zheng and opened her palm.
"What is this? Where did you pick it up? "
On her palm, there was a three-inch jade. It was carved into the shape of a Qilin. However, it looked like the carving was not done well.
Gu Zheng didn't feel anything special from it. It felt like a slightly better piece of art.
"It's on top of the pond. When I was about to leave, this thing floated up from below. It feels very comfortable to touch." Yingshao smiled and put the Qilin in Gu Zheng's hand.
"It's not light, but it's useless." When Gu Zheng caught it, his palm suddenly sank. He had to use a bit of strength to catch it. However, it looked very light in Yingshao's hand.
After looking at it carefully, he still felt that it was an ordinary ornament.
"That's impossible. There's a cool feeling in my hand. It feels like even the sky has become brighter. My mind feels particularly comfortable," Yingshao said anxiously. She felt as though Gu Zheng thought she was lying.
"Maybe I'm not fated with it. I can't feel its power. Since you like it, I'll help you put it on. You can wear it around your neck." Gu Zheng didn't mind. He took out a string of beads and passed it through the holes on the necklace to Yingshao.
"Thank you, young master." Yingshao happily put it on after hearing Gu Zheng's words.
"Now, do I have to go out and look for that flower? I'm ready." Although Yingshao was a little silly, she wasn't always stupid. Seeing Luo Xin come looking for her, she must have something to do.
"That's even better. Let's go!"
After an incense stick's worth of time, Gu Zheng stood in front of the transparent barrier and said to Xiao Ye.
"It's up to you!"
Xiao Ye took a few steps forward and looked at the barrier. The tail behind her flashed back and forth a few times. Suddenly, three rays of light shot out.
As they danced in the air, three different colored strings connected the three rays of light. In the blink of an eye, they were imprinted on the barrier in front of them.
The three rays of light suddenly lit up and silently merged with the barrier from the outside. Following that, the three strings also lit up. In the circle they formed, ripples began to shake. However, outside the circle, there was no effect at all.
At this time, Xiao Ye also stared at the barrier without blinking. At the same time, rays of light were imprinted on the barrier behind her.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, a passage that only one person could pass through appeared in front of everyone.
"Move!"
Gu Zheng shouted. Yingshao, who was already prepared, instantly bent down and rushed out. There was a string tied around her waist, which was in Gu Zheng's hands.
If there was any problem, he could pull her back.
At the same time Yingshao went out, the passage in the middle instantly shrunk, leaving only a fingernail-sized hole. This allowed the string to move at any time and also greatly reduced the pressure on Xiao Ye.
As the reinforced string continued to move out, Yingshao's figure quickly disappeared in front of everyone.
Time trickled by. The rope in Gu Zheng's hand hadn't moved for quite some time. The group didn't know what the situation outside was like, so they could only determine the situation on the other side through the movement of the rope.
Through the secret signal, everything was still under control. At the very least, it made Gu Zheng less worried. Those Soul Devouring Flowers were indeed useless against the naive Yingshao.
Within the stipulated time, Yingshao finally returned. Everything was perfect. She had also found more than ten mutated Soul Devouring Flowers.
After praising Yingshao, Gu Zheng looked at the mutated Soul Devouring Flowers in his hands. They were different from the pure purple flowers. Inside the flowers, there was a golden wreath, which was also more obvious.
They had all inadvertently absorbed the Yin Wind. After leaving the soil, they fell into a state of suspended animation. The bewitching effect was also gone.
Everything was ready, except for the east wind.
Gu Zheng did not go anywhere else. After instructing the others not to disturb him, he went to the lawn in front of him. More than ten boxes were placed next to him. Now, he could finally try to refine the Soul Returning Pill.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes and meditated for half a day. After completely recovering his state of mind, his eyes suddenly opened.
With a wave of his hand, a small golden pill furnace appeared in the air. This was the pill furnace that he used to communicate with others. It was a very good pill furnace and was more than enough to refine the Soul Returning Pill.
After the pill furnace landed on the ground, it instantly expanded. With another wave of his hand, the Li Bracelet on his wrist appeared in the air. A line of fire rushed from the top to the bottom of the pill furnace and began to burn evenly on the ground.
Looking at the neatly arranged materials around him, Gu Zheng took a deep breath. A golden light shot out from his hand and wrapped around two nearby materials, sending them towards the pill furnace. The lid of the furnace did not need to be controlled at all. With a thought from Gu Zheng, it rose up.
Before the two materials fell into the furnace, a few wind blades appeared out of thin air and cut the two materials evenly into several portions before throwing them down.
Immediately after, a green spirit fruit appeared in the air. After being cut into pieces by the green light, it fell into the pill furnace once again.
The flames below continued to burn steadily. As the materials inside melted, Gu Zheng's thoughts slowly fused together. Soon after, another batch of materials was thrown into the pill furnace.
Time slowly passed. Every once in a while, Gu Zheng would throw them one by one in an orderly manner.
"Puchi!"
After a month, Gu Zheng's face was a little tired. Under his excited gaze, a fragrant smell filled the air and he finally opened the furnace.
A silver pill mixed with gold flew into the sky. It was about the size of a peach. Before it could fly away, it was caught by a pair of golden hands.
"Damn it!"
Gu Zheng watched as the silver light flickered and slowly turned into a bronze color. Even the fragrance was a little stinky. He couldn't help but curse in a low voice. He directly threw it into a box outside.
According to the pill recipe, apart from the failure, this pill could be refined in three different ways. They were gold, silver, and bronze.
The golden pill was the perfect pill to refine, and it was also the most difficult pill to refine.
Silver meant a normal refinement. Although it had a good effect on the soul, it couldn't help Xing Cai's current condition. It was useless.
As for bronze, it could be said to be a failure. The poison in the Soul Devouring Flower had been mixed into the pill. To them, it was a poison. Eating it was like suffering a soul attack. It was simply a waste pill.
It was no wonder that Gu Zheng was so disappointed when he saw the bronze pill in his hand.
Half a day later, Gu Zheng adjusted his mood. He didn't expect to succeed on the first try. He began to prepare the next batch of materials.
Four months later, there were already three bronze pills and one silver pill in the small box. The pill furnace in the middle was still burning day and night.
Gu Zheng wasn't discouraged. He felt that he had some tricks up his sleeve. He believed that he could definitely refine it perfectly.
Outside, Yingshao watched Gu Zheng refine pills. At first, she listened to all kinds of orders and didn't go near.
But when she saw the waste pills outside, the tempting fragrance made her drool. Plus, there were a few Soul Devouring Flowers beside Gu Zheng. She decided to do something.
While Luo Xin wasn't paying attention to her, Yingshao first ran to Xiao Ye and secretly asked for his permission. After getting Xiao Ye's permission, she excitedly put away the pills and walked out of the valley.
No one noticed that Yingshao had disappeared.
Sometimes, Yingshao would run off to play or rest. It was normal for her to not show up for a few days.
With Xiao Ye's help, Yingshao activated a protective barrier and snuck out.
Soon, Yingshao was outside again. When she saw the endless sea of flowers, she smiled happily.
She didn't know why the Young Master was so against these beautiful flowers. To her, other than being beautiful, it didn't have much of an effect.
A bronze pill appeared in her hand. Yingshao couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Although she wanted to eat it immediately, she still put it away.
"If I find one, I'll eat it! One for each, "Yingshao said in her heart. It seemed that this was the only way to reduce the guilt of secretly eating.
"Forget it, I'll just eat one after I find two!"
Looking at the scarce pills and thinking about how long it would take Gu Zheng to refine one, he once again increased the burden on his shoulders.
She then walked towards the sea of flowers.
Soon, two Soul Devouring Flowers that had been plucked fell into her hands.
"Okay, I can eat now." Yingshao took out a bronze pill. It emitted a tempting fragrance. She couldn't help but put it in her mouth.
However, when the pill in her hand was about to reach the edge of her mouth, the Qilin that was originally hanging around her neck flashed a green light and formed a green shield, firmly blocking in front of her mouth.
"Bang bang!"
Yingshao was stunned when she saw the barrier blocking her mouth. She felt the fluctuation in front of her chest and couldn't help but say angrily.
"Why won't you let me eat such a delicious thing? Hurry up and take it away!"
Unfortunately, no matter what she said, the barrier wouldn't disappear unless she put away the pill.
However, as soon as she took it out, she wouldn't need to think too much. It would seal her mouth and completely stop her from eating it.
Just as Yingshao was thinking of a solution, a huge figure suddenly flew over from afar and landed not far away from her.
"Xiao Ye, why are you here? Why did you become so big this time?" Yingshao looked over and saw Xiao Ye, whose body was glowing with three colors. He was standing in front of her and looking at her carefully.
"You want to eat it too, right? Unfortunately, I can't." Yingshao looked at the pill in her hand regretfully. She wanted to break through the barrier and put it in her mouth again, but she could only make banging sounds.
She didn't think that as long as she took off the pendant, everything would be solved. She was still trying tirelessly.
"Alright, looks like I really can't eat it. What a pity. Then you can eat it. Don't let the Young Master find out." Yingshao reluctantly walked over to 'Xiao Ye'.
The huge Jade Night Bird only subconsciously moved its wings a little, but then it stopped.
"You're too big. I didn't think you could become so big. Next time, you must take me out to play." Yingshao patted its head naturally, then placed the pill in front of it and continued.
"Then you can eat it."
Although she said that, her expression was still a little regretful. Who asked her to not be able to eat it?
The Jade Night Bird's head was bigger than Yingshao's body. It tilted its head and looked at her, only occasionally looking at the pill in her hand.
"Eat it. The Young Master won't blame you. If you don't eat it, I'll take it back." Seeing that it was still hesitating, she hurriedly urged.
The huge Jade Night Bird seemed to understand her meaning. It stretched out its head and lightly pecked at the pill in Yingshao's hand. It immediately swallowed it.
"Big Sister Xiao Ye, there's more." Yingshao beamed with joy, as if she had eaten it herself. She hurriedly took out the remaining three, two copper and one silver.
"I'm going to pick some things. Hurry back. You still have to open the door for me later." Yingshao clapped her hands and said after seeing that it had swallowed everything.
Without waiting for it to reply, Yingshao skipped towards the sea of flowers.
The Jade Night Bird looked at Yingshao. The tri-colored light in its eyes kept flickering. Finally, it silently flapped its wings and flew back into the Yin wind. Yingshao's back was facing it, so of course she didn't see it.
Soon, Yingshao found quite a few mutated Soul Devouring Flowers. Seeing that Xiao Ye had already disappeared, she didn't stop and directly walked towards the valley.
When Yingshao returned, she saw Xiao Ye open the door for her again. She gave him a secretive "I understand" expression. This made Xiao Ye feel a little strange. He didn't understand what she meant.
