Xu Wang left, leaving Yuanxiang standing there awkwardly.
After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly bowed to Lu Ye and apologized sincerely, "Senior Apprentice Brother Lu, I'm sorry. You saved me, but I lied to you."
Actually, she blamed herself a lot on the way back, but for the safety of the stronghold, she had to do it. This had to do with the teachings she had received since she was young.
If she had brought back an unknown outsider so casually, this stronghold would not have been able to survive for more than ten years.
Before Lu Ye could say anything, Ying Wu Ji said in a strange tone, "Just a verbal apology is not sincere enough!"
"Sincere …" Yuanxiang understood. She stood up and said, "Please wait for a moment, Senior Apprentice Brothers."
Saying so, she turned and ran out. No one knew what she was going to do.
Ying Wuji and Lu Ye were left sitting. The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
Before, when he had been traveling with Lu Ye, he had at least had some things to do. Now that they were alone in a room, the relationship between the two of them was ultimately still that of enemies. As the weaker party, Ying Wuji naturally felt somewhat uncomfortable.
He regretted it secretly. Why did he have to talk about sincerity? If there was an outsider here, at least he would not be in such a predicament.
"Ahem." Ying Wuji coughed lightly and tried to find a topic, "Lu Yiye, shouldn't we ask them about the location of the Hidden Realm?"
Search!
If Lu Ye could think that to solve this world's predicament, they had to start with the Hidden Realm, Ying Wuji was not an idiot.
Xinran Yuanxiang said that the Hidden Realm I's door was not obvious, and outsiders would not be able to find it.
However, they could still find it.
Unfortunately, Lu Ye had no intention of responding. He just turned and looked at him indifferently.
After looking at each other for three breaths, Ying Wuji looked away.
The pressure was like a mountain!
Why did he have such a bad mouth?
When he turned his head, he saw a small head peeking in from outside the stone room. The person's eyes were filled with curiosity.
It was a boy about seven or eight years old. His curiosity was at its peak. He had lived in this stronghold since he was born and had never seen the outside world, much less anyone outside.
Lu Ye and Ying Wuji's arrival undoubtedly made him want to investigate.
The boy was naturally cautious. He only looked outside, but had no intention of coming in.
Ying Wu Ji seemed to have seen his savior and beckoned to the boy, "Child, come here!"
The boy was frightened and quickly retracted his head.
But after a while, he couldn't help but stretch his head out to take a look. This time, he didn't shift his gaze away.
The main reason was that a bright red fruit had appeared in Ying Wuji's hand at some unknown time. A strange fragrance wafted through the entire stone room.
"Come here!" Ying Wuji waved at the boy again, trying his best to put on a harmless expression.
The boy looked at him and then looked at the spirit fruit in his hand. He could no longer resist the temptation and walked into the stone room timidly.
Arriving in front of Ying Wu Ji, he stood there obediently and raised his head to look at him. Just as Ying Wu Ji was about to reach out and pat his head, the boy quickly reached out and took the spirit fruit from his hand.
He turned around and ran!
"This little bastard!" Ying Wuji was so angry that he laughed.
Thinking about his Cloud River Ninth Order cultivation, no matter how careless he was,
Even if he was prepared, he wouldn't have been robbed by a seven or eight-year-old child. He would have just taken advantage of the situation to do so.
Fortunately, after being interrupted by the boy, the pressure that Lu Ye had put on him just now disappeared.
"Didn't anyone tell you not to show off your wealth?" Lu Ye suddenly said.
Ying Wuji said in a low voice, "This fruit, it's nothing …"
Before he could finish speaking, the corner of his eyes twitched as he saw a few more small figures appear at the door. It was the other children who had seen the good things here and had all rushed over.
They didn't speak and just stared at Ying Wuji with longing in their eyes.
Ying Wuji suddenly realized that … this fruit that was extremely ordinary to him and was only used to quench his thirst, in this Peerless Star Continent, was perhaps something extraordinary!
He wanted to shout at these children to retreat, but the yearning in their eyes made him sigh. Raising his hand, like a magic trick, a few spirit fruits appeared in his hand and he waved them towards the children.
"Wah …" The children were excited and rushed in. Each of them took a spirit fruit from Ying Wuji's hand and ran away.
When they rushed to the door, they bumped into Yuan Xiang, who had just returned, and they all bumped into her.
"Slow down, slow down. What are you doing here? Don't disturb the guests!" As Yuan Xiang spoke, she straightened the children who were swaying from side to side. Just as she was about to reprimand them a few more times, she suddenly saw the spirit fruits in their hands. The tip of her nose was also filled with a strange fragrance that she had never smelled before, causing her to involuntarily drool.
While she was distracted, the children ran away and disappeared.
Yuan Xiang hurriedly hid the things in her hands behind her back.
In her hands, she tightly clutched the dried fruit that she had been saving for who knows how long …
In front of such a spirit fruit, she couldn't use the sincerity of her apology anymore.
The children who had left were all moved.
Perhaps in the prosperous times, those spirit fruits were nothing, but in today's environment, it was difficult for cultivators to find spirit fruits of such quality.
Where did these two people come from?
They gave away such spirit fruits just like that, and to children at that …
However, this also made Xu Wang even more certain that these two people didn't have any ill intentions towards their base. How could such people take a liking to a poor base like theirs?
"Elder Xu." Yuan Xiang looked at Xu Wang with a red face, and then bowed to a tall man beside Xu Wang. "Senior Drunken Mountain."
Drunken Mountain nodded and ordered, "Go and bring some tea."
As if she had been pardoned, Yuan Xiang hurriedly left.
After Yuan Xiang left, Drunken Mountain straightened his clothes that were now white from washing and stepped into the stone room. Sweeping his eyes over Lu Ye and Ying Wu Ji, he cupped his fists and said, "Honored guests, please forgive me for not coming out to greet you."
Lu Ye stood up and returned the greeting, as did Ying Wuji.
Seeing that Lu Ye had no intention of speaking, Ying Wuji could only follow up. "Fellow Daoist, you're too serious. We came uninvited. Please forgive us for disturbing you."
Drunken Mountain relaxed slightly. Xu Wang had briefly told him about Lu Ye and Ying Wuji. He also realized that these two people's origins weren't simple, which was why he had personally come to investigate.
He just happened to see Ying Wuji giving out spirit fruits to the children of the base, and now that he heard Ying Wuji's words, he immediately thought about it. These two people didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
Especially Ying Wuji, who didn't have such a tolerant impression of him, naturally wouldn't be too bad.
"Please sit!" Drunken Mountain gestured with his hand, and the guests took their seats.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Drunken Mountain got straight to the point. "I heard that you two saved Yuan Xiang before. We are unable to repay such a great kindness. If you two have any requests, please do not hesitate to ask. If we can satisfy them, we will not refuse."
As the leader of this base, Drunken Mountain naturally had to understand what these two guests' intentions were. They said that they had met by chance and saved Yuan Xiang, but they had escorted Yuan Xiang all the way back to the base. It was clear that they had their own motives, and it wasn't just Yu Zhen's dying request.
However, he didn't say everything. In other words, if the request was too excessive, he definitely couldn't agree.
Ying Wuji turned to look at Lu Ye. "Senior Brother, what do you say to this Fellow Daoist?"
Although he had some ideas, he didn't dare to act on his own. It was better to leave this matter to Lu Ye.
Drunken Mountain looked at Lu Ye in surprise. Only now did he understand that between the two of them, Lu Ye was the one who could make the decision.
"We want the location of the three great Mystery Realms!" Lu Ye said concisely.
Drunken Mountain's expression changed. "You want to enter the Mystery Realms?"
He was surprised. These two didn't originate from the Mystery Realms, otherwise they wouldn't have come here to ask for their location. Moreover, it was very likely that these two really did live in a small base and didn't know anything about the outside world. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a request.
Shaking his head, Drunken Mountain said, "We may not be able to help the two of you with this matter. The location of the three great Mystery Realms has never been fixed. Instead, they are drifting through the void. They may be here today and somewhere else tomorrow. If you don't know how to calculate them, you won't be able to find them."
If they really were fixed locations, the three great Mystery Realms wouldn't have existed until now. The Corpse Race would have long since destroyed them.
Moreover, even if a cultivator came out of the Mystery Realms, if they wanted to return, they would have to rush to a specific location at a specific time and use a specific Spirit Artifact to open a door.
The locations of the Mystery Realms did indeed follow a pattern, but just as Drunken Mountain said, if one didn't know how to calculate them, they wouldn't be able to find them.
Lu Ye and Ying Wuji were both stunned. They never thought that the three great Mystery Realms would be so hidden.
Yuan Xiang hadn't mentioned this before, so even she didn't know about it.
Before the Heavenly Transformation, the locations of the Mystery Realms were indeed fixed. They all belonged to the assets of a certain top sect. The name of the Mystery Realm was the identity of its owner.
For example, the Meru Mountain Mystery Realm was the asset of the Meru Mountain Mystery Realm, and the Zi Wei Dao Palace Mystery Realm belonged to the Zi Wei Dao Palace.
However, after the Heavenly Transformation, those top cultivators had a premonition that things were not going to be good. They used some mysterious technique and the three great Mystery Realms began to wander without a fixed location.
The other Mystery Realms didn't have this ability and could only stay where they were, so they were all taken over by the Corpse Race.
Now, the only Mystery Realm with a fixed location was the Mysterious Realm of the Turbid Heaven Temple controlled by the Corpse Race. It was also the Corpse King Palace that the Golden Corpse King had renamed.
Lu Ye originally wanted to inquire about the location of the Mystery Realms from this stronghold and then take Ying Wuji to those Mystery Realms.
Not only did he want to borrow the power of the Mystery Realms to resolve the crisis of this world, but he also wanted to meet up with the others.
He didn't know where those from the Nine States were now, but as long as they understood the situation of the Wushuang Continent, they would probably choose to search for the Mystery Realms.
