Cold Clouds

Ye Yuxie glanced at Yunmeng in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and seemed to understand something: "So that's it."

She chuckled and said, "Excuse me, my friend, how many years have you been here? No, I should say how did you get here?"

"Could it be..." Ye Yuxie asked, and then thought for himself and said, "A replica of the Mountain and River State Map?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she heard someone in the illusion ask someone who entered the illusion whether they had entered the illusion.

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, and Ye Yuxie suddenly laughed out loud: "Ha, it's just a replica."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Yuxie with a hint of shock. This person really didn't give face to the Lingxia Sect's treasure...

"Come, I'll take you to find the center of the formation," Ye Yuxie pulled Lin Xiaoxiao away, "You haven't answered my question yet, how long ago did you come here?"

"Uh..." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know how to answer this question, because she really didn't know.

And ma'am, as a person in a fantasy world, is it really appropriate for you to take me to find the center of the formation?

"Well... let's ask it another way." Ye Yuxie saw Lin Xiaoxiao's confusion, "Were there any geniuses in your era?"

"There is a man who has a congenital sword bone and a natural spiritual root with thunder attribute." Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a while and spoke.

"Eh? Isn't that hundreds of years later?" Ye Yuxie seemed a little surprised and murmured, "This dog Tiandao really doesn't give me any face at all."

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't hear the second half of the sentence clearly, but she was not interested in knowing it. What she cared more about now was whether it was really appropriate to follow someone she didn't know?

But... I feel a sense of security for some unknown reason. What's going on?

"Ah, there are always monsters that sneak in," Ye Yuxie looked up at the sky. Lin Xiaoxiao also looked up at the same time, but saw nothing. Ye Yuxie sighed, "Wait for me."

Then Ye Yuxie disappeared from Lin Xiaoxiao's sight. A few seconds later, Ye Yuxie appeared again, holding a humanoid creature in his hand.

"Oh, I didn't expect the demon clan to collude with a corpse king," Ye Yuxie laughed, "He's a little trickier than before. He was able to take two punches from me and still survive. The demons that followed him died in an instant."

Surviving two punches is a little trickier than before... so before it was always a one-punch kill...

“Ah, since it’s a fake Shanhe Shejitu…” Ye Yuxie kicked the Corpse King in front of Lin Xiaoxiao, “Hey, Corpse King, swear allegiance to her.”

"Even if I die... and am pushed back into the coffin, I will never let a little girl..." Ye Yuxie placed a sword across the neck of the "righteous and stern" corpse king.

"I'm sorry, please allow me to be loyal to you!" Fusheng kowtowed and knelt in front of Lin Xiaoxiao.

After explaining to Lin Xiaoxiao how to conclude a contract, Ye Yuxie threw Fu Sheng aside after the contract was concluded: "Go wherever you want."

Lin Xiaoxiao, who had inexplicably accepted a younger brother, followed Ye Yuxie, not knowing what to do.

Ye Yuxie walked in front with a smile on his face. It’s just a replica. Let me show you how to run it quickly.

Within three days, I will find the center of the formation. Ye Yuxie carried Lin Xiaoxiao and flew high into the sky. He calmed his mind and explored every blade of grass and tree he could sense.

Three days later, Ye Yuxie sat on a hilltop with a serious expression but a bit puzzled. How come he couldn't find it?

"Is there a possibility that..." Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been carried and flown for three days, said weakly, "People in the illusion can't see the core of the illusion?"

Ye Yuxie was stunned for a moment: "Yes! You are so smart."

Lin Xiaoxiao:......

This person is the chief elder of the Yunjian Sect, right? Why does he seem so stupid?

"The center of this imitation of the Mountain and River State Map is usually in a place with abundant spiritual energy. After all, it is not easy to hide the spiritual energy that supports the entire illusion," Ye Yuxie said, "But there are many places with abundant spiritual energy, and the center of the formation is usually a stone, flower, or something like that, or it will directly turn into a person with abundant spiritual power. In short, it is quite difficult to find."

"Come into my sea of ​​consciousness and take a look." Lin Xiaoxiao was lying on a rock chewing a piece of grass. She had not had a good meal for the past three days since she was carried around by Ye Yuxie.

Ye Yuxie put his hand on Lin Xiaoxiao's head, and his mind sank into Lin Xiaoxiao's sea of ​​consciousness.

"What is this!" Ye Yuxie was startled and showed a look of astonishment. This girl has just established her foundation, right? How come her sea of ​​consciousness is more vast than mine, who is only half a step into the realm of refining emptiness! ?

"Medicine King Valley..." Lin Xiaoxiao lay on the stone, "Take me with you, I'll go explore, this should be faster, right?"

"That makes sense." Ye Yuxie was about to take off with Lin Xiaoxiao in his arms when he was stopped by an old voice.

"Yuxie, what are you doing? I see you've been flying for three days." An old man in a white robe, wearing a bamboo hat and holding a hoe, came out and said while chewing a dried radish.

Lin Xiaoxiao took a look and thought, wow, isn’t this Qin Fan? The immortal-like figure in the secret realm turns out to be a farmer.

"Ah, old man... No, Master," Ye Yuxie said "old man" and was glared at by Qin Fan. He started to speak properly, "It's a fake map of mountains, rivers, and states. Do you understand?"

"I see..." Qin Fan's eyes flashed with surprise, "This is the first time I've seen this."

Qin Fan looked at Lin Xiaoxiao for a while, then patted her on the shoulder and said, "Come on, little friend. Remember to burn some incense for me when you get out."

"Let me tell you a little trick," Qin Fan said mysteriously, "A forged Shanhe Shejitu cannot normally achieve this effect. It must have relied on external forces. If you use a powerful attack that can restrain the external force and keep blasting underground, you may be able to blast it out, because only underground can there be boundaries. This is what the descendant who refined this thing told me. You can try it."

Normally, Qin Fan's words would be useless. After all, who would tell the sealed person what kind of power he borrowed? But Lin Xiaoxiao just knew what kind of power Tang Zhen, the old man, borrowed.

Apart from the Wood Spirit Pearl, what other strength can Tang Zhen rely on?

"Master Qin," Lin Xiaoxiao smiled, "Can I borrow your alchemy furnace?"

Qin Fan and Ye Yuxie looked at each other. They didn't know what Lin Xiaoxiao was going to do, but they took her there anyway.

Lin Xiaoxiao searched in the Yunjian Sect's medicine field for a while and finally dug up enough spiritual plants to refine three or four furnaces of pills.

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with disappointment, as if to say, "Your Yunjian Sect is so poor." But the Yunjian Sect was really not poor, it just didn't grow medicinal herbs.

Qin Fan and Ye Yuxie watched Lin Xiaoxiao finish refining the pill, and they always felt that something was not right. Why did the pattern on the pill look a bit like an blasting talisman?

Ye Yuxie took Lin Xiaoxiao to a place with loose land as Lin Xiaoxiao requested, and Qin Fan followed out of curiosity.

Then Ye Yuxie, Qin Fan and Huanjing were all shocked by the small explosive pill brought by Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Oh, it's really a problem with the materials. The quality of the herbs is not high enough," Lin Xiaoxiao sighed as she looked at the big hole on the ground, "I don't know if it's enough."

Lin Xiaoxiao only picked spiritual plants with strong wood-attributed spiritual energy. The principle of the blasting talisman was actually to let the spiritual energy run wild and create a riot to achieve an effect similar to an explosion. Because fire-attributed spiritual energy and blasting talismans have the best adaptability, generally no one would do other attributes.

But Lin Xiaoxiao has never been an ordinary person. She has always been in Class 2 every time she was divided into classes since she was a child.

Qin Fan and Ye Yuxie just watched as Lin Xiaoxiao's figure gradually became smaller in the deep pit as explosions sounded and the soil collapsed again and again.

"What if she can't come up later?" Qin Fan asked.

Ye Yuxie was silent for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "It shouldn't explode to a place where we can't detect it, right?"

"But now we can't see her anymore, and we can't even sense her," Qin Fan pointed at the deep pit and said, "Logically speaking, she hasn't reached a position that we can't sense, so we can draw a conclusion based on this..."

"This method is effective. Lin Xiaoxiao's bombing has already had a certain impact on the illusion, so we have also been affected to some extent." Qin Fan nodded and added his words.

"So what if she really can't blow down and can't come up?" Ye Yuxie spoke again.

Qin Fan was silent for a while. After a while, he stood up and acted like an immortal: "Everything is destined."

Ye Yuxie:......
