Chapter 222 First Entry into the Ruins
The three then exchanged brief pleasantries.
But Lin Changsheng clearly sensed that Su Xuyan's attitude towards him had become much colder.
On the contrary, Song Zhe's hostility towards him dissipated, and she became much more enthusiastic.
During this time, the two also inquired about the whereabouts of the second-tier white ape.
Lin Changsheng simply made up a place to get by.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Song Zhe and Su Xuyan took their leave, citing that the sect disciples still needed to heal their injuries.
Lin Changsheng explained that he needed to find some rare minerals in order to refine puppets.
The three went their separate ways.
Before leaving, Song Zhe gave Lin Changsheng three 'quasi-third-tier' magic talismans.
As compensation and reward for his previous help in rescuing Su Xuyan and the others.
In the eyes of ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, a near-third-tier spell talisman is considered a life-saving item.
But for Song Zhe, a 'seed' disciple within the Shangqing Palace, it was nothing.
Lin Changsheng did not refuse, and thanked him repeatedly after accepting the near-third-tier spell talisman.
In this way, at least some of the losses from using quasi-third-tier spells today have been recovered.
On the way back, Su Xuyan and Song Zhe flew side by side.
"Senior Sister Su, this Fellow Daoist Lin is quite easy to get along with. No wonder he is your good friend."
Song Zhe was in a good mood and, unusually, offered a few words of praise.
Normally, Senior Sister Su seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the excessive interference in her social life.
But he always disapproved of the other male cultivators getting close to Senior Sister Su.
Today, however, this fellow Daoist Lin did not make him feel threatened in the slightest. In fact, during their conversation, he felt extremely superior and felt very comfortable and pleased.
"It seems that befriending Senior Sister Su's friends isn't too difficult."
Song Zhe felt a little smug.
"Fellow Daoist Lin... has always been so easy to talk to."
Su Xuyan seemed uninterested and spoke after a moment of silence.
Her thoughts were in turmoil, and she couldn't reconcile the image of the handsome young man who had stood up for her and Nangong Qingtan years ago with Lin Changsheng, who was now humbling himself before Junior Brother Song.
Perhaps this is the difference between ordinary independent cultivators and disciples of sects.
……
the other side.
Lin Changsheng activated his flying boat magic artifact and flew away for one or two miles.
He secretly activated his senses and confirmed that Su Xuyan and Song Zhe were both out of his sense range.
After circling and surveying the surroundings again, and finding no human presence, it changed direction and flew into a narrow mountain passage.
Inside the dimly lit passage.
A tall, robust, silver-haired white ape bent down respectfully and curled up inside.
Lin Changsheng lowered his head slightly and walked inside.
Not far away, the demon infant emitted a pale green light, and streams of primordial energy left its body and merged into a semi-transparent barrier in front of it.
As the demon infant continuously channeled its magical power into the semi-transparent barrier, the light on it grew brighter and brighter, and it began to pulsate with time.
'Click! '
A faint sound suddenly emanated from the dazzling barrier.
A dark crack appeared and gradually spread outwards, forming a dark, ever-shrinking hole.
Looking through the hole, it was pitch black, seemingly shrouded in endless darkness.
"Come on, Lin boy, little monkey, come inside with me!"
Urged on by the Azure Wood King Butterfly Infant, she herself transformed into a beam of green light and entered without hesitation.
The silver-haired white ape standing to the side paused slightly, then its massive body also squeezed into the box.
Lin Changsheng stared at the black hole in front of him, but could not see anything.
Even the silver-haired white ape that had vanished into the darkness a moment ago was instantly swallowed up by the darkness, leaving no trace.
"This seems to involve a method of folding space, obscuring the interior space so that it cannot be seen from the outside."
Lin Changsheng observed warily for a long time, but could not see any clues and could only guess in his mind.
The methods used to set up this formation were beyond the comprehension of 'Heavenly Poison True Man' in my memory.
However, Lin Changsheng still carefully sensed that the restriction left inside the Green Wood King Butterfly Demon Infant was still intact, without any signs of being concealed.
So he took out an extra exquisite third-tier defensive spell talisman and held it in his palm.
At the same time, he was ready to activate the restriction at any moment and leaped into the hole.
……
The other side of the Wanfeng Mountains.
A middle-aged man with a half-shaved beard held a compass-like magical artifact the size of a washbasin in his hands, constantly exploring in front of a light screen.
At the same time, a tremendous aura of magical power, which was terrifying, emanated from the man from time to time.
Behind him were a very young-looking man in white and an elderly man in gray with a pale complexion.
A hundred feet behind the three.
A dozen or so cultivators dressed in various styles stood scattered around.
Among them was a barefoot woman dressed in a light blue flowing robe, exuding nobility and purity, with a graceful figure.
A man in a yellow robe sat steadily on the back of a giant crane, his face dignified.
There were also strange middle-aged men with red hair and beards, radiating a strong, scorching aura.
There was also a young man wearing a blue Taoist robe with golden clouds embroidered on the collar.
"I wonder if that fourth-tier array master, Qi Zhenjun, can break the restrictions here."
The strange middle-aged man with red hair and a red beard kept looking curiously ahead.
"If even a fourth-tier array master cannot break this ruin, this place will probably have to be sealed off for the time being."
Riding on the back of the crane, the dignified man in the yellow robe also gazed at the three figures in the distance, his face revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
"Hehe, Brother Nangong, if it really is a treasure of the fourth rank or above, then your Nangong family will have gained a great advantage. After all, being close to the source gives you an advantage."
The strange middle-aged man with red hair and a red beard said with a gloating expression.
"Humph."
The imposing man riding the crane snorted coldly and ignored him.
"The two of you should stop fighting amongst yourselves. This place is not only home to cultivators from Yue Kingdom; let's not become a laughingstock. Let's continue to wait here quietly for True Monarch Hua's next instructions."
The young man in the blue robe calmly offered his advice from the side.
Not far away, a middle-aged man with stubble was constantly circulating his magic power, guided by the 'compass' magic artifact in his hand, and probing the light screen in front of him.
Under its meticulous control, its own magical power changed frequency, rhythmically merging into the light barrier, as if searching for something.
At that moment, a dazzling spiritual light flashed and disappeared within the entire barrier.
This strange phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of the two people behind him.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, have you found any clues?"
"Master Qi, have you found the array's core?"
The man in white and the old man in gray robes approached together.
"Huh? Could it be that someone broke through the formation before us?"
The middle-aged man with a half-shaved beard looked strange as he carefully recalled the change in that instant, his expression becoming somewhat moved.
