Master Fu does not envy immortals

Chapter 169 Dilemma
The crowd found a slightly higher soil slope, and just barely squeezed up, the small piece by the river was submerged by the rising tide.

Seeing this scene, everyone was terrified.

Many people's spiritual power has been exhausted in the melee just now, if they are swept away by the river again, they may not be able to return.

"Where is this place? Why do I feel that I still have no spiritual energy?" Some people tried to restore their spiritual energy through meditation, but found no effect.

"Not only that, I just took a piece of spirit stone and planned to absorb it directly, but it didn't work!"

This news disturbed everyone more than the lack of aura in the environment.

Many people heard this and took out the spirit stones to try it for themselves.

But to no avail.

"Everyone, don't worry, maybe the Shenrui Dynasty has done something. Don't forget that we haven't escaped yet." Jiang Qiongxing reassured everyone, "No matter what, don't use your spiritual power recently, just in case."

"However, there are still so many people injured. If you don't use spiritual power to treat them, I'm afraid they won't last long." Someone said.

"Let's make do with the elixir first," Wei Jinfeng took out a bottle of elixir and handed it to the wounded nearby, saying to everyone, "It won't take much spiritual power to open the storage ring."

Immediately, some immortal cultivators began to sell the powerful healing pills they had brought. In order not to be eliminated in advance, many seriously injured people could only reluctantly spend a large sum of spirit stones to buy the pills.

Who told them not to prepare enough before.

Ji Cheyu stirred up the fire that was about to extinguish.

In order to save spiritual power, they can only use this method to keep warm.

To make matters worse, many people felt the pain they had never experienced since the establishment of the foundation - hunger.

Jiang Qiongxing touched his belly, and said thoughtfully: "Without spiritual power and hunger, could it be that this trial is to make us become mortals?"

"There's too little news from this place," Ji Cheyu said, "We'll see what this trial wants us to do after we get out from here."

Jiang Qiongxing nodded, and closed his eyes a little tiredly.

Time passed quickly, the sky brightened little by little, and Shangguan Tao suddenly appeared beside the two of them.

"It can be regarded as finding you." She breathed out.

"Where have you been?" Jiang Qiongxing asked.

"I went to inquire about some news." Shangguan Tao raised his chin triumphantly, with an expression of "come and praise me".

"What news?" Jiang Qiongxing asked very cooperatively.

After dawn, the place that could be seen was farther away. Shangguan Tao pointed to the group of people who terrified everyone last night, and said, "I went to ask a few people, and they said that the people of the Shenrui Dynasty arrested them for sacrifice, and asked the gods to appease their anger and let the water recede."

"So, the natural disaster here is a flood?" Ji Cheyu raised his eyes.

"Yes, the 10 people needed for the sacrifice are all locked up on this island." Shangguan Tao said.

Unknowingly, they were surrounded by immortal cultivators on the inner three floors and the outer three floors.

Someone interjected: "It's not easy, you can leave by building a ship."

"Then you can try it." Gongsun Yu replied with a smile.

"Just try it!" The man said impatiently and walked towards a nearby woods.

"I don't think it's that simple." Jiang Qiongxing looked at his back and touched his chin. "Do you still remember the methods the guards of the Shenrui Dynasty used to deal with us in the water prison? They won't be so stupid as to think that a small island can trap us."

That's what he said, but no one stopped the brother who was eager to build a ship and leave.

Someone even stepped forward to help.

Soon, a crude raft was built, and several people pushed it into the water together. The immortal cultivator jumped on the raft and turned his head to see that others were standing on the shore and looking at him.

He blinked: "...you don't plan to go with me?"

The person who helped him build the raft looked at the silly boy lovingly, and didn't say anything, just said: "You try it first."

Trial opportunities are very precious, and they managed to get through to the third round, so they can't die too casually.

"Okay!" He pushed the oars in his hand hard, pushed the boat away from the shore, and said confidently, "I'm leaving! Don't miss me too much!"

On the surface of the water, the fog was hazy, and the distant scene could not be seen clearly. His figure quickly disappeared into the fog.

The crowd dispersed one after another.

During the foundation-building period of Bigu, there was no concept of hunger at all in their minds. Naturally, few people brought food. Now they feel hungry for a long time, and their top priority is to find a way to fill their stomachs. More than 6000 people quickly scattered in various places on this isolated island.

An island that can accommodate 10 people is naturally not small, but no matter how big it is, it is just an island. The food is scarce, and it has been consumed by the people who were imprisoned before.

Jiang Qiongxing returned the robe to Ji Cheyu, and stood on the top of the slope looking at the island.

"Are you hungry?" Shangguan Tao asked in a low voice.

Jiang Qiongxing shook her head and asked her: "I keep food in my storage ring all year round, do you want it?"

That's what Shangguan Tao meant, and he nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Qiongxing took out a bag of dim sum and handed it to her.

Ji Cheyu, who was on the side, watched the movements of the two of them, and suddenly remembered that when she entered the Liang family's secret realm with Jiang Qiongxing as "Sister Yu", she also brought a lot of food and fed "Sister Yu" in different ways every day.

However, the later "Ji Cheyu" never got such good treatment again.

Is it that big of a difference when you switch genders?
Shangguan Tao hadn't finished eating a pack of dim sum when a familiar figure appeared on the river.

The raft that had just left was back.

The immortal cultivator who dared to take risks was also safe and sound.

At first, the immortal cultivator was very excited when he saw the land, and frantically paddled closer, but when he saw the people on the shore clearly, he suddenly became depressed and dropped the paddle: "What's going on? My sense of direction is obviously very good!"

How could it be back again.

"It's a formation," Jiang Qiongxing confirmed when she saw the raft landed again. She raised her head and looked at the gray mist surrounding the isolated island. "There is a formation on this isolated island. We can't leave without breaking the formation."

"The sacrifice will be in two days, we have to break through in these two and a half days." Wei Jinfeng sighed like an adult.

"For such a big island, there must be more than one formation. Is there enough time?" Gongsun Yu asked, shaking his fan.

"Yes, don't forget that we have thousands of people." Jiang Qiongxing was full of confidence, "Call all the people who can break the formation, divide the entire island, each person is responsible for a part, there must be time."

Her eyes were burning, like a torch that ignited people's hearts in the gray mist.

Immortal cultivators who had a certain understanding of the battle method were quickly called together, each received a piece of land, and took the people away. Jiang Qiongxing also took a piece.

"Will you break the formation?" Ji Cheyu followed her to the designated place, asking along the way.

Jiang Qiongxing nodded: "Yes, I have been studying by myself for the past few years, and ordinary formations can't help me."

"Aren't you a talisman master? Why did you suddenly want to learn this?" Shangguan Tao asked.

"Because..." Jiang Qiongxing's eyes became far away, as if remembering something from a long time ago, and his tone was slightly regretful, "I was trapped in a formation before, and I could only wait for others to rescue her, which caused her to be injured... I don't want to encounter this kind of thing again."

Ji Cheyu looked at her subconsciously, surprise flashed in his eyes.

He naturally knew when Jiang Qiongxing was talking about, but he didn't expect her to think about it for so long, and even learned how to break the formation for it.

If he didn't know that she always thought "Sister Yu" was a woman, Ji Cheyu would have wondered if she had fallen in love with him.

No.

Ji Cheyu withdrew his gaze and calmed down—they had lived in the same yard for the past few years, getting along day and night, which was much longer than they had known "Sister Yu", but Jiang Qiongxing didn't treat him like "Sister Yu" at all.

This gap alone was enough to wake him up.

Holding the sword in hand, Ji Cheyu continued to walk forward, indifferently reminding himself not to think too much.
