When Mu Yunxi's injuries stabilized, Jun Wu Xie withdrew his hand.
He endured the pain in his body and sized up the stone hall. There seemed to be an inner room next to it.
Now, he was sure that the stone hall was not dangerous. It was a temporary safe place for them.
He walked to the center of the stone hall and took out two pieces of animal skin from his storage ring. He folded them on the ground. They were thick, soft, and very warm.
"Heal your injuries well. When you recover, I will use the Lifebone Flower and Flesh Lingzhi to help you regrow your right arm."
He carried Mu Yunxi onto the animal skin and sat down cross-legged beside her. Life Essence flowed through his limbs and bones. Boundless vitality overflowed from his body like green smoke rising into the air.
Mu Yunxi looked at him. Her red lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say something but did not say it in the end.
At this moment, Jun Wu Xie's nose twitched slightly. He seemed to smell a faint fragrance.
"What's that smell?"
He opened his eyes and turned to look at the inner room. The fragrance seemed to be coming from that room.
The smell was very faint. If one did not smell it carefully, it would be easy to miss.
He could not help but get up and walk into the inner room.
As soon as he entered, he saw a pool with a diameter of about one meter …
No, it was more like a well!
The fragrant smell came from the well.
Outside, he could only smell a very faint smell. However, when he entered the inner room, the fragrance was exceptionally strong.
Obviously, there was a force in the inner room that prevented the fragrance from leaking out.
The ancient well was very unique. There were exquisite carvings around the mouth of the well. Upon closer inspection, it looked like fairies were dancing on the drawings.
"There's an ancient well here …"
He came to the well and bent over to take a look. His pupils contracted slightly. Then, they shone brightly and his face lit up with joy.
The ancient well was filled with a milky white liquid. The color was not very rich, but it contained a pure aura of vitality and extremely pure energy.
"What is this?"
He opened his Primeval True Eyes to take a look. He found that the liquid in the well was not a single rare liquid. It was a combination of two liquids.
One of them … looked like the Spring of Life.
"Is this really the Spring of Life?"
Jun Wu Xie was surprised. How could there be a Spring of Life here?
The Spring of Life would only exist in places with extremely rich vitality. However, this place was in the ruins.
He began to observe the carvings around the mouth of the well. Perhaps he could find out the origin of this ancient well.
He looked at the carvings one by one.
These engravings recorded a special tribe. There were scenes of them offering sacrifices, scenes of them growing up, and scenes of them worshipping this ancient well.
"Could this be … the legendary fairies?"
He searched his mind for any information related to the engravings.
In the past, he had read about the Elven Race in the history books of unknown origin.
The Elf Race was also known as the Spirit Race. They were a race that loved peace. They were naturally close to nature and cultivated the path of nature.
It was said that every elf consumed nectar and dewdrops as food. The place where they lived was especially rich in vitality, and that vitality came from the Elf Spring that was passed down in their clan.
The Fairy Fountain was also known as the Fountain of Life. It was a type of extremely pure spring water.
"So the Fairies really did exist. It's just that they seemed to have been wiped out some time ago. This should be one of their territories. This ancient well should be the Spring of Life. It's a pity that there's a problem with the Spring of Life … "
Jun Wu Xie was almost certain of the origin of this ancient well. These ruins were once the territory of the Fairies.
He didn't know what happened to cause the Fairies' territory to be destroyed to this extent. What happened to the Fairies? Could it be that they were all wiped out?
"The spiritual liquid in the well should be a combination of Geocentric Elixir and Spring of Life …"
He took some out, studied it carefully, and came to this conclusion.
"It's a pity that even if I extract the Spring of Life, its purity will only be around eighty to ninety percent. It won't be enough to save Uncle Bird …"
He could feel the rich vitality coming from the Spring of Life. At the same time, there was also a type of pure Earth Spiritual Qi coming from the Geocentric Elixir. One could be used to heal injuries and recover stamina, while the other could be used to recover True Qi or break through to the next realm.
He was slightly disappointed that he couldn't use it to save Uncle Bird. However, he soon felt relieved and was replaced by excitement.
Whether it was the Geocentric Elixir or the Spring of Life with a purity close to ninety percent, they were both Half-Saint level resources that could only be found by chance. There was actually such a huge amount of them here!
"Yunxi, come quickly!"
He took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement as he shouted to Mu Yunxi in the outer hall.
Mu Yunxi dragged her injured body into the inner hall and saw Jun Wu Xie in front of an ancient well. She immediately went forward to take a look and couldn't help but be stunned.
"This is …?"
"It's a combination of Geocentric Elixir and Spring of Life with a purity close to ninety percent!"
"What?"
Mu Yunxi couldn't believe it. These were two types of Heavenly Treasures, both of which were extremely rare. How could there be so much Spiritual Elixir here?
The ancient well had a diameter of one meter, and half of it was filled. How much did it weigh?
"Come!"
Jun Wu Xie picked her up and jumped into the well.
Mu Yunxi exclaimed, "What are you doing? You've dirtied the Spiritual Elixir. What a waste! "
She couldn't help but feel annoyed. This was a Half-Saint level resource, and he had actually dragged her to soak in it!
"It's not dirty. There are many ways to use this Geocentric Elixir, such as taking it, refining it, refining it, and so on. Unless it's taken orally, how can it be dirty? "
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately let out a comfortable moan.
Vigorous vitality entered his body, causing his injured body to recover at an astonishing speed.
The same was true for Mu Yunxi. The wound on her back healed in a moment, leaving not even the slightest scar behind.
"The effect of this Spiritual Elixir is too strong. Our chances of leaving this place alive have increased!"
Jun Wu Xie's excitement was beyond words.
This Spiritual Elixir was not only used for his daily recovery and cultivation. Most importantly, its strong recovery ability would allow him to have a stronger endurance during the battle with the clone.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the clone couldn't replicate this resource. Otherwise, it would be useless.
However, he felt that the possibility of this was relatively low.
After all, the clone was especially afraid of the stone hall and didn't dare to cross the line.
In that case, the stone tablet most likely wouldn't replicate the things in the hall.
"Do you want to leave so badly?"
Mu Yunxi looked at him with a complicated expression. Her heart was conflicted and tangled.
"Of course we have to leave. We can't hide here and be deserters. You too." Jun Wu Xie gazed at her complicated expression and said, "You have a lot on your mind. I really want to know what you're afraid of. Can you tell me?"
"I'm not running away, nor am I afraid. I just feel that I've let down the sect and the path of cultivation that I've persevered with all these years …"
Mu Yunxi said softly.
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Jun Wu Xie didn't pursue the matter. He looked at her deeply, closed his eyes, and focused on healing.
The ancient well quieted down. Only the sound of their even breathing could be heard.
In this situation, Mu Yunxi couldn't help but recall the scene when they were trapped in the medicine furnace.
At that time, they were so similar to now. In a narrow space, they were also soaked in liquid, and their bodies were almost pressed against each other.
His breath, his heartbeat, and the temperature of his body were all so clear. They were transmitted to her body and to her heart, causing ripples to appear in her heart, which she had tried so hard to calm down.
She just looked at him like this, quietly looking at him. There was a hint of misery in her complicated expression.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly said faintly, "Tell me, are the moral constraints of the world important to us cultivators?"
Jun Wu Xie was stunned. He still had his eyes closed. After thinking for a while, he said, "There seems to be no clear definition of whether it's important or not. If it's for the big picture, it's certainly important. There should be a rough standard. However, for an individual, it can't be measured by whether it's important or not. "
"Isn't cultivation about breaking all kinds of rules and regulations and pursuing one's true self? In life, one must cultivate one's heart, understand one's true self, and follow one's heart. One must have a clear conscience and dare to face one's true self. This is true cultivation. At least, that's what I think. "
"The true heart, the true self …" Mu Yunxi's eyes lit up slightly before dimming again. She said, "But there are many emotions in a person's heart. If one wants to satisfy all of them, is there a way to get the best of both worlds?"
"Perhaps there are many times in life when one is faced with choices. Temporary gains and losses are not permanent gains and losses. If one can only choose one, then one must definitely choose the one that one wants the most. However, if one chooses, does that mean one has to give up on the others? I don't think so. It's just that you can't ask for more at the same time. Things have to be done one by one. Problems have to be solved one by one, right? "
"There are some things that you might think you don't want to see, but in fact, you're not sure whether it's true or not. You're just worried and afraid. Just like the moon in the night sky. When the clouds cover it, you might think it's a waning moon. However, when the clouds are parted, what you see might be a full moon? "
Mu Yunxi pondered over his words. After a while, she said angrily, "Fallacious reasoning and heresy!"
"Facing one's true self and following one's heart is the true essence of cultivation. It's not fallacious reasoning and heresy." Jun Wu Xie opened his eyes and looked at her seriously. He said, "Looking at a mountain that isn't a mountain, looking at water that isn't water — that's only because one's thoughts are complicated. One thinks too much, restrains oneself, and confuses oneself. Actually, sometimes the truth is very simple. Great Dao is simple. Why do we have to look at the twists and turns in the middle? Isn't it better to look at the essence directly? Going around in circles will only add to the trouble. In the end, the essence and the truth are there and have never changed. "
"Then according to what you said, those vicious and evil people who bring disaster to the world are also following their hearts. Is that right?"
Jun Wu Xie shook his head and said, "I'm talking about how to walk one's own path in the path of cultivation. The kind of people you mentioned can strengthen their Dao Heart by doing what they do. This is undeniable. However, it doesn't mean that their actions are right. This is because they build their happiness on the suffering of the common people."
"Different people have different thoughts. For people who have a bottom line, even if they do things according to their heart, their actions will always be above the bottom line. For people who don't have a bottom line, no matter how much you oppose or condemn them, you won't be able to change their inner thoughts. The restrictions of rules can only be applied to the mortal world. There are no rules in the world of cultivation. Everyone believes in the law of the jungle. It's just that there will always be a group of people who guard their bottom line. "
Mu Yunxi was silent.
After a long time, she opened her mouth and said, "A few years ago, when I went out to train, I heard about a relationship dispute between a man and a woman. A woman fell in love with a man. Not long after, the man met a young girl. The young girl fell in love with him, but he didn't know that the young girl was the woman's daughter."
"Later on, the young girl found out about the relationship between the man she liked and her mother. She fell into a dilemma and pain. What do you think the young girl should do with such a thing that goes against morality and ethics? If the man knew the truth, what would he do? " “
The muscles on Jun Wu Xie's face twitched a few times.
He couldn't help but look at Mu Yunxi with a slightly strange expression.
"Answer me. What do you think they should do? What do you think of this matter?"
Mu Yunxi lowered her head slightly and spoke in a casual tone.
At this moment, Jun Wu Xie's mind was buzzing.
He was astonished, shocked, and in disbelief …
All kinds of emotions welled up in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to understand the knot in Mu Yunxi's heart and why she wanted to escape.
Mu Yunxi was the Holy Maiden of the Ice Cloud Building. She had been "hidden" in the sect and had almost never been seen in the outside world. Did she really go out to train a few years ago?
Even if she really went out to train, she would have come into contact with people or matters of higher status in the cultivation world. How could she have heard such a story?
"A mother and a daughter serving the same husband. There are many such cases in history."
He was thick-skinned enough to say this.
Mu Yunxi's face flushed red. She looked at him with some embarrassment and anger and said, "Why are you so bad!"
"That still depends on what the young girl thinks. This kind of thing is ultimately a matter between the three of them. As long as the three of them are willing, what's the problem?"
"But don't we have to care about what others think? When the time comes, what will the world think? What will others say? "
"People live according to their own will and not according to the will of others. Why should we care about what others think?"
"Then don't we care about our reputation?"
"Isn't it fine as long as we live happily? Previously, weren't there people who formed an alliance and said that I was the Sinner's Blood? Do you think I care about that? If I really feel annoyed, I can just kill those people who jumped out. In the end, strength is respect. If you are strong enough, you can kill until the world is silent! "
"But …"
"But what? She didn't give birth to you after ten months of pregnancy. You were just born from a drop of her blood essence in the Ice Cloud Flower. You are related by blood, but you don't have the ability to give birth."
"You …" Mu Yunxi's face instantly turned red. She said with embarrassment and anger, "You … You, you, you … So you already knew about my relationship with the Building Master! You bastard, you're too bad, you … "
Jun Wu Xie's face turned red. He said, "I really didn't know. If you hadn't told me that story just now, I wouldn't have thought about it …"
"Jun Wu Xie, I can disregard everything here. But once we leave this place, we will never cross paths again and have nothing to do with each other!"
"Alright, you have the final say. “
Jun Wu Xie smiled bitterly. Her heart was not as indifferent as it looked on the surface, as calm as the clouds and wind.
Xuelan probably didn't know about his relationship with Mu Yunxi. If she did, he didn't know how she would react.
What a sin.
