In two months, the various formations and defenses of the Three World Island had been set up. Luan Xiaoe and the others were still guarding the Spiritual Island, while Old Tang ran around every day. It was very tiring.
He was not worried about his own safety at all. On the surface, he was not the guardian of the Three World Island, Yue Yao. Therefore, even if someone wanted to attack the Three World Island, they would not target him. If he was not the guardian, killing him would be useless. It would not weaken the defenses of the Three World Island.
Moreover, after the incident with the Bai Yue, Old Tang felt that anyone with a bit of rationality would not do anything to him.
Now, everyone knew that the cause of the battle between the Three World Island and the Bai Yue was Yue Yao's sneak attack on Tang Jun. Of course, this was only the reason on the surface. Only Yue Yao knew the deeper reason.
A sneak attack had caused a high-class spiritual island to change owners. This was a lesson learned for future generations.
On this day, Lu Ye, who was cultivating peacefully under the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, suddenly felt something. He felt the call of the Talent Tree clone.
The Ten Thousand Elephant Sea's water had a strong isolating power. Ordinary sound talismans could not be transmitted. However, the connection between the Talent Tree clone and the original body would not be severed.
Therefore, if the clone received any news, it could contact the original body.
Lu Ye immediately understood that something big must have happened. Otherwise, the clone would not have contacted the original body. He immediately left the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea and hurried back to the Three World Island.
The place where he cultivated was under the Three World Island. Therefore, he returned quickly.
In the next moment, he found out the details from the clone. His face darkened, and his expression became tense.
At his level of cultivation, there were very few things in the world that could make him nervous, unless it was related to the people closest to him.
In the area where the cultivators of the Three World Island were stationed, Lu Ye headed straight for a bamboo house.
This bamboo house was exactly the same as the bamboo house in the Jade Blood Sect's Jade Bamboo Peak. It was Hua Ci's residence. Beside this bamboo house was another one. That was Lu Ye's residence.
However, Lu Ye was busy cultivating recently and did not stay here.
He rushed into the second floor like the wind. Two big figures and one small figure stood there.
Besides the Talent Tree clone, there was Shui Yuan and Yaya.
With the arrival of the main body, the doppelganger appeared in a flash and disappeared.
Lu Ye stared ahead, his eyes narrowing. "What's going on?"
There was a translucent amber-like object in front of him. It was about the size of a water tank, and a figure was sitting inside the amber-like object. She seemed to be in a deep sleep. Her expression was serene and her temperament was dignified. It was Hua Ci!
Lu Ye tried to use his Divine Will to sense Hua Ci's condition, but he was surprised to find that his Divine Will couldn't break through the layer of amber. Therefore, he didn't even know if Hua Ci was dead or alive.
Lu Ye's heart was in a mess.
There weren't many people he was close to in this world, only a few people from the Jade Blood Sect. He and Hua Ci were in love with each other and had long since decided to spend the rest of their lives together.
Although Lu Ye had been running around since leaving Nine Regions, and the two had very few opportunities to meet and communicate, even if they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they wouldn't feel estranged from each other.
He had brought her to the Myriad Elephant Sea for his own selfish reasons. This way, they would be able to meet more often. Moreover, she was a medical cultivator, so she would not have to face too many dangers.
Lu Ye had never thought that Hua Ci would have an accident, and it was even on the island!
As if sensing Lu Ye's anxiety, Shui Yuan hurriedly comforted him, "Junior Sister is still alive. Little Junior Brother, calm down first!"
"Are you sure?" Lu Ye hurriedly asked.
Shui Yuan took out a musical note, "Junior Sister's musical note imprint is still here!"
Lu Ye suddenly understood. If the musical note imprint was still here, it meant that she was fine. He had forgotten about it in a moment of panic, otherwise, he could have verified it himself.
After calming down a little, Lu Ye asked, "What happened?"
Shui Yuan smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I don't know. It was already like this when I came over."
She and Hua Ci were in charge of the pill room, and they were responsible for refining various kinds of Spirit Pills for the cultivators on the island. Their daily tasks were relatively leisurely, so they had a lot of time to themselves.
According to the original plan, the two women were supposed to refine a batch of Spirit Refining Pills today. However, after waiting for a long time at the pill room, Shui Yuan still didn't see Hua Ci. She also didn't respond to her message, so she personally came to check. In the end, she saw that Hua Ci was sealed in this piece of amber.
She didn't know what happened, but she hurriedly sent a message to Lu Ye, and then Lu Ye hurriedly rushed over.
After listening to Shui Yuan's explanation, Lu Ye's brows furrowed even more. He took a step forward and reached out to touch the amber. It was warm to the touch, like a piece of yellow jade. He activated his transcendence energy, but Lu Ye found that his transcendence energy was quickly devoured by the amber and disappeared.
Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see what this amber was at all.
He didn't give up and activated his transcendence energy even more fiercely. However, no matter how hard he tried, the amber was like a bottomless pit, and he couldn't see its depth at all.
"Junior Brother, look!" Shui Yuan suddenly discovered something and pointed inside the amber.
Lu Ye looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that inside the amber, there was something on Hua Ci's knees.
After taking a closer look, Lu Ye recognized what this thing was.
This was Hua Ci's toad demonic beast.
This woman had collected many poisonous demonic beasts in the Nine Provinces back then, and the toad was only one of them. Lu Ye remembered that there were also scorpions, poisonous snakes, and spiders.
The last time Lu Ye returned to the Nine Provinces to see Hua Ci, these little creatures under her command had made things difficult for him for a while.
However, according to Lu Ye's knowledge, before Hua Ci came to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, she had dismissed most of her demonic beasts and only kept this toad by her side.
When Lu Ye was here, he had seen this demonic beast a few times, but it was usually the size of a house, like a door guardian. He didn't expect that at this moment, it had actually become the size of a rabbit and was quietly crawling on Hua Ci's knees.
What Lu Ye was concerned about wasn't its size, but the fact that this toad had obviously undergone some unusual changes.
In the past, this thing had lumps all over its body and didn't look likable at all. It was hard to imagine that a gentle person like Hua Ci would actually like such a poisonous creature. However, considering her identity as a poison doctor, it was understandable.
At this moment, this toad had obviously changed greatly. The lumps on the surface of its body had disappeared, and its entire body was suffused with a layer of gold. Moreover, there were many strange markings on the surface of its body.
Lu Ye stared at these markings with rapt attention. No matter how he looked at them, they seemed familiar …
These markings … weren't they the shape of the treasure coin that he had handed to Hua Ci for safekeeping?
Then, he thought of the amber that wrapped Hua Ci and had the characteristic of devouring his magic power. Lu Ye's heart thumped and he turned to look at Shui Yuan. "Where's that treasure coin?"
Shui Yuan was one of the few people who knew about the treasure coin's existence. This was because Shui Yuan was beside Lu Ye when he handed the treasure coin to Hua Ci for safekeeping.
Shui Yuan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "The treasure coin has always been in Hua Ci's hands."
Lu Ye turned to look at the golden toad on Hua Ci's knees and vaguely realized one thing. This unforeseen event was most likely related to that treasure coin!
He had always felt that the treasure coin was a special kind of treasure. As long as it devoured enough energy, it could even exert the effect of restraining sunlight. However, he didn't expect that it would cause such an unforeseen event.
If Lu Ye could think that Hua Ci's unforeseen event was related to the treasure coin, Shui Yuan naturally also thought of it.
She quickly recalled another matter. "Junior Brother, Junior Sister's toad demonic beast seems to be very interested in the treasure coin. There were a few times when Junior Sister took it out to play with it. That toad stuck out its tongue as if it wanted to eat the treasure coin."
Lu Ye turned to look at Shui Yuan.
Shui Yuan said suspiciously, "Could it be … that the treasure coin was eaten by it? That's why all these things happened? "
This wasn't impossible.
The treasure coin was originally something obtained from the body of a star beast. If a star beast could eat it, a demonic beast could naturally eat it as well. However … what was this layer of amber that was like a seal? Why would it cause such a change?
At that time, the star beast that ate the treasure coin could only slightly activate the power of the treasure coin. It wasn't sealed.
"Pi Xiu!" A childish voice suddenly came from the side.
Lu Ye and Shui Yuan turned their heads to look and saw Yaya standing at the side. She tilted her head and looked at the golden toad sealed in amber.
Yaya had always been taken care of by Hua Ci and Shui Yuan together. Therefore, she had been by their side for a long time. This time, Shui Yuan came to find Hua Ci and brought her along. Previously, the little girl didn't speak and Lu Ye didn't care. Who knew that she would say something shocking at this moment.
Lu Ye composed himself and squatted down. "Yaya, what did you say just now?"
Yaya was sunshine. Although her mind was damaged and she was usually like a child, her knowledge and experience were not something he could compare to. Perhaps she saw something.
"Pi Xiu!" Yaya pointed at the golden toad. "It's taking back the power that originally belonged to it!"
This time, Lu Ye was sure that he didn't hear wrong.
Pi Xiu!
This was an existence on the same level as the legendary dragon, phoenix, and white tiger.
Speaking of which, a Pi Xiu seemed to look like a golden toad.
The toad demonic beast that Hua Ci subdued in the Cloud River Battlefield was actually a Pi Xiu?
This wasn't impossible. The former Nine Regions were extremely powerful. It was reasonable that there were many ferocious beasts living in the domain. Just like the True Fire of the Phoenix that Lu Ye obtained in his early years, that was a legacy of the former Nine Regions.
There was also the Black Tortoise's Demon Core and the White Tiger's bloodline in amber.
The toad that Hua Ci subdued might not be a real Pi Xiu, but it definitely had the bloodline of a Pi Xiu!
This woman was most likely vaguely aware of this, or perhaps she simply sensed that the toad demonic beast was different from the rest. That was why she left it behind before leaving the Nine Regions.
If that was the case, then as the toad's strength continued to increase, it might slowly awaken the bloodline of a Pi Xiu and possess some of the abilities of a Pi Xiu.
However, Lu Ye handed the treasure coin to Hua Ci for safekeeping!
Yaya said that the Pi Xiu was taking back the power that originally belonged to it. Shui Yuan also said that the toad was very interested in the treasure coin.
Didn't this mean that the treasure coin was the manifestation of the power of a Pi Xiu?
By chance, a demonic beast with the bloodline of a Pi Xiu devoured the treasure coin condensed from the power of a Pi Xiu. This caused this unforeseen event!
