Bit by bit, the sunlight emerged from the horizon. The sounds of various animals rose, and the noises in the forest gradually became more complex. Xu Shan flew behind Qi Lingshuang while holding the optical disc and observing it. If it weren't for that monster, this fourth item wouldn't have appeared.
Xu Shan groped the ordinary-looking white optical disc with his hand. Just as he touched the edge, he suddenly felt a tightening in his heart. He saw the optical disc start to rotate rapidly and begin to sink into his body, as if it was going to be inserted into an optical drive. And if he hadn't been staring at the disc, he wouldn't have felt anything at all! No, he couldn't experiment here!
Xu Shan immediately pulled it out and put it back into the Qingyin. Then he opened his mouth and asked, "Senior Sister, do you know anything about the monster in the secret realm?"
Qi Lingshuang slowed down and said, "I heard it's called the Kun Beast, a kind of ancient demonic beast that specializes in restraining females. It has already been extinct. I don't know anything else about it."
Xu Shan thought to himself. The Kun Beast, specializing in restraining females? No wonder it had so many tentacles. What a lewd demonic beast... And this wasn't really a useful clue either. Why did the extinct demonic beast react to the Qingyin, and what was the connection between it and the fragrant oil? After being purified, this thing was clearly stronger than the fragrant oil in the temple. It almost helped him unlock two runes in a row. The second one was just a little bit away from being unlocked now. If he could figure out how to unlock the runes, there was no doubt that his chances of surviving in the cultivation world would increase greatly. Unfortunately, things were still a mess, and his spiritual roots had even been ridiculously torn into two pieces.
"Senior Sister, can someone have two spiritual roots?"
"Yes. Dual spiritual roots are an extremely rare talent. People with this talent will be carefully cultivated by the sect."
"What kind of spiritual root do you have, Senior Sister?"
"I have Innate Ice Spiritual Roots."
"Aren't there only three grades of spiritual roots, upper, middle, and lower?" Xu Shan asked curiously.
Qi Lingshuang said, "No. The upper, middle, and lower grades are just to distinguish ordinary Five Elements spiritual roots. In fact, there are many types of spiritual roots, such as Innate, Mutated... Each type of spiritual root in the Six Yù has its own advantages and disadvantages."
"What kind of spiritual root does the Sect Master have?"
"Just like me, Innate Ice Spiritual Roots. She's only good at cultivating ice magic... Someone's coming. Be careful!"
Qi Lingshuang was halfway through her words when she suddenly flashed away at high speed. Xu Shan flew to the other side.
A huge fireball rolled down from the sky. The huge shockwave directly blew down the trees within a radius of more than ten meters, creating an empty area. The fireball in the center had disappeared, replaced by a figure.
Diwu Lianfeng slowly stood up straight, with flames flickering around his body. He looked at Xu Shan with a smile on his face. "It seems that someone has shown you a clear path. You hid well. Unfortunately, you're a bit unlucky. I actually found you first."
Xu Shan said calmly, "Brother Diwu, I didn't expect you to take action personally. As a member of the Zixiao Sword Sect, and since I obtained the inheritance reasonably and legally, it doesn't seem good if word gets out that you're attacking me, does it?"
Diwu Lianfeng shrugged his shoulders. "So what? You don't belong to any sect now, and this is a wilderness area. What if I kill you in public?"
"Xu Shan, I most admire people with courage. You're very brave! I'll give you a chance to commit suicide, so that I don't have to do it myself."
"There are two of us. It's two against one. Aren't you afraid of dying here?" Xu Shan said indifferently.
"Oh?" Diwu Lianfeng sneered and looked at Qi Lingshuang. "Just relying on this defeated opponent? You really don't know what's good for you!"
As soon as the words fell, flames burst out around Diwu Lianfeng, and he charged towards Qi Lingshuang with an indomitable momentum. "Xu Shan, I already know your Heavenly Luck Mysterious Ability! I'll be controlled by you if I get close, right? I'll kill her first and then give you a quick death!"
Qi Lingshuang was on full alert and raised her sword to fight Diwu Lianfeng. Xu Shan, on the other hand, kept dodging the blazing and cold auras emanating from the two of them. Although it was just the aftermath of the battle, the power was obviously not to be underestimated.
Xu Shan and Qi Lingshuang kept moving to the left to dodge while thinking of a countermeasure. Qi Lingshuang was obviously no match for Diwu Lianfeng... And Diwu Lianfeng deliberately kept his distance from Xu Shan. The towel couldn't be used either. The only things he could use were the projection jade slip to harass Diwu Lianfeng and that optical disc whose function he didn't know.
It might be a good idea to try it on Diwu Lianfeng. Maybe there would be an unexpected gain! With this thought in mind, Xu Shan took out the projection jade slip and quickly adjusted the playback progress, manually editing it in real time! Diwu Lianfeng's figure appeared in the sky through the light screen, and sounds came out from the jade slip. Then the light screen changed rapidly! A lewd and absurd video was born at this moment.
"Damn it, you guys... Oh~ Hmm~... This is indeed the most top-grade chicken, chicken... It's truly a top-quality product... There's no earthy smell or seawater smell... This is exactly what I feel with my tongue... It's extremely delicious and excellent. It's really incredible that such a bold experiment can be carried out in such a situation...."
"Fuck you, you despicable villain! I'm going to tear you into pieces today!!"
In a fit of shame and anger, Diwu Lianfeng's whole body aura soared! With a single sword strike, he sent Qi Lingshuang flying far away.
Xu Shan seized the opportunity and suddenly threw the optical disc at Diwu Lianfeng! The optical disc shot out, passed over Diwu Lianfeng's arm, and silently sank into his chest... And he seemed not to notice it at all and continued to charge towards Xu Shan on his own. Qi Lingshuang flew over to rescue Xu Shan.
Just as the flames released from Diwu Lianfeng's sword were about to reach his face, Xu Shan suddenly felt pink petals falling. In that moment of distraction, an overwhelming force pressed him hard to the ground. His knees slammed onto the ground with a thud! Kneeling on the ground with him were also Diwu Lianfeng and Qi Lingshuang.
Diwu Lianfeng was extremely shocked and his eyes rolled desperately. What was going on? His body was completely out of his control, as if he had become a marionette, and only his eyes could move! Seeing that Xu Shan and Qi Lingshuang had also been affected at the same time, was there a fourth person in the field? What kind of powerful expert could suppress him like this?!
Qi Lingshuang's originally expressionless cold face was also forced into a smile by this inexplicable force. Looking at the pink petals that were constantly falling and changing between reality and illusion in front of him, Xu Shan calmed down. His spiritual energy was flowing out rapidly. Obviously, the optical disc was taking effect. But why was this damned optical disc controlling him too! As the owner, he didn't have any dignity at all!
Xu Shan instinctively tried to take it back, but there was no response... He couldn't take it back.
Just as the three of them were each urgently thinking about how to break the situation, suddenly a force pulled the three of them to slide on their knees at the same time, and finally they knelt side by side. A virtual offering table appeared in front of them!
Xu Shan looked at his hands that involuntarily raised, and the corners of his eyes twitched. Then he involuntarily opened his mouth and said, "I, Xu Shan, offer my prayers to the Heaven and Earth, and the past gods!"
"I, Diwu Lianfeng!"
"I, Qi Lingshuang!"
Xu Shan tried hard to control his lips, but there was still no response. He continued to speak forcefully, "Although we have different surnames, we now become brothers, helping each other in times of trouble and working together with one heart!"
Damn it! This is just like the Oath of the Peach Garden! After the optical disc was inserted into the body, it directly made the real people step into the plot of a TV drama? Or is it a live performance! Is this the special function of the optical disc?
Diwu Lianfeng clasped his hands together, and there was a hint of moisture in the corners of his eyes. "Serve the country above and bring peace to the people below!"
Why did we suddenly become sworn brothers? Who the hell is playing tricks on me!!!...
