Chapter 532 – The Hearth of the Wizened Maiden
With a “whoosh” sound, a giant ape appeared in the curtain of light amidst the haze of light, and then took a few steps to walk in front of the kneeling young girl, stopping in its tracks.
The middle-aged cultivator and the others’ faces changed slightly, staring at the puppet with a hint of worry. The yellow-shirted young girl, on the other hand, opened her bright, slightly reddened eyes with a hint of bewilderment as she looked at the giant ape in front of her.
”I don’t care if what you said is false or if it’s really so pitiful, but I never do anything without benefit. I see you are still a virgin body, just under the cultivation to the bottleneck, perhaps with the help of the power of double cultivation can break through again. If you are willing to be the old man’s furnace, this vial in the to Yuan Dan three, enough to save your father more than enough. You can let your fellow disciples go back with the pills, while you enter the formation. I have never been a forceful person, and I will not bully the small with the big. If you are unwilling to do so, you can leave now and just pretend that you have never met the old man.” The man’s cold words came out without the slightest bit of emotion.
And at this time the giant ape puppet one hand, revealing a white warm small jade bottle, sent to the kneeling in front of the young girl.
When the young girl heard these words, she could not help but be dumbfounded. Although she was still young, but also know the meaning of double cultivation and stove tripod, originally pale and pretty face could not help but appear a trace of attractive blush, but did not hesitate to immediately agreed: “Good, as long as you can really let my father return to the beginning of the day, the late generation voluntarily to do the stove tripod of the predecessor.” After saying this, with a single stretch of her slender white wrist, the young girl took the jade bottle into her hands and then slowly stood up.
”Xing’er! How can you do this? How can I go back and explain to my senior brother?” The middle-aged cultivator was startled when he heard this from the young girl and hurriedly shouted out.
The other four men and women also turned pale at the news and similarly raised their voices to dissuade them.
”Senior uncle, look at this bottle of elixir, is it really useful to my father?” The young girl did not respond to the middle-aged cultivator’s alarm, but with a lift of her slender hand, she threw the jade bottle to the other party, and inquired with a calm demeanor.
”You …… hi!” The middle-aged cultivator received the jade bottle, looked at the young girl’s expressionless tender face, sighed helplessly, knowing that it was no longer difficult to change the other party’s mind, he could only open the jade bottle with a grim face and poured out a light blue elixir.
A peculiar fragrance immediately filled the air. All those who smelled the fragrance were invigorated, greatly feeling a great sense of physical and mental relief.
”This is an elixir refined by a Demon Pill!” The middle-aged cultivator smelled the fragrance of the medicine and was first startled and uncertain, then he put the pill under his nose and sniffed it twice before he lost his voice in surprise.
”Refined with demonic pills? This to Yuan Dan can really cure my father?” The young girl appeared calm and unusual, only calmly asking a follow-up question.
”Although I don’t know the specific efficacy of this medicine, this elixir is definitely treasured to the extreme, it shouldn’t be a false lie.” The middle-aged cultivator’s face was complicated, but after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke the truth.
”Many thanks to Senior Uncle for telling me! This will put Apricot’s mind at ease. I would also like to have senior uncle bring this medicine back, and just tell my father that it will just be as if there has never been an unfilial child like me in this life.” The young girl first exhaled a breath, then her bright eyes turned red, and once she turned around, she rushed into the light curtain without looking back.
The middle-aged cultivator saw this, his complexion changed several times, a mouth, but did not say anything, but instead, the jade bottle in his hand all of a sudden gripped tightly.
At this time, the giant ape puppet also then returned to the light curtain, the original cracked light curtain, slowly closed.
”Senior Uncle, are you really letting Senior Sister Gongsun be a furnace tripod for someone else?” The stout young man’s face was filled with anxiety, and he finally couldn’t help but say out loud. The other two women’s complexions were similarly not very good.
”Can’t you guys see that? Your senior sister’s mind is made up, it’s simply not something we can stop. Furthermore, this senior’s elixir really has the potential to cure the Sect Leader, for the sake of the Green Spirit Sect, I can’t stop it either.” The middle-aged cultivator’s complexion darkened. In a low voice, he said.
”But we can’t let junior sister be the furnace either! Isn’t that ruining junior sister’s life in this life?” The youth’s face was blood red, and he still refused to give up and argued forcefully.
”Senior nephew Li, I know that you and Xing’er grew up together and are as close as brother and sister. But that can’t be changed now.” The corner of the middle-aged cultivator’s mouth twitched as he said with a conflicted expression.
”Senior Uncle, Senior Sister Gongsun has been summoned away.” The blue-clothed woman suddenly let out a cry of alarm.
When the middle-aged cultivator and the stout youth heard this, they both hurriedly looked over. Only to see the light curtain in the haze light, the figure of the young girl is gradually blurred in the light, a moment later the haze light disappears, the young girl also disappeared, only to set off a piece of lonely leaves in the original place.
The stout young man saw this scene, immediately as if the deflated ball, hands holding the head of the squatting on the ground, froze and did not say a word up.
The middle-aged cultivator patted the youth’s shoulder without words, slightly comforting one or two. Half an hour later, these people drove away from the island, flying away from this sea of fog.
After the yellow-shirted young girl was wrapped in the haze, a burst of dizziness was transported out by the forbidden system. When she returned to normal, she was already standing in an unfamiliar small valley. On both sides were steep stone walls, and in front was a green stone door about several feet high.
The young girl looked around once, a moment of hesitation in her heart, just when she did not know what to do, a flash of light, the giant ape puppet appeared behind it.
The giant ape didn’t pay any attention to the young girl at all, but walked towards the stone door in big strides, and after pushing with both hands in a raw manner, the green stone door easily opened inwards.
”Your name is Gongsun Xing, right? Follow this puppet of mine into the cave. Wait for two more days, and I will come out of my seclusion.” The man’s voice mysteriously disappeared as soon as it appeared.
Only then did the yellow-shirted maiden enter behind that green stone door with a bite of her red lips. After following that giant ape puppet left and right for a while, the young girl was brought to a stone room several feet in size.
This room, in addition to a stone bed covered with unknown fur and a stone table and two stone chairs, nothing else.
The great ape will lead it to the place, on their own left the house, leaving only some overwhelmed girl, staring blankly at the original place.
The young girl slightly surveyed everything inside the house, and then looked toward the outside of the house. The stone door was not closed, and it seemed like it could be freely entered and exited. However, after thinking about it, this woman slowly sat on top of the edge of the bed and began to stare with her hands cupping her cheeks.
Although she had long since made preparations to offer herself, the thought of future dual cultivation and the rumored life of a hearth tripod naturally scared her heart. Moreover, now that she was alone in an unfamiliar environment, her heart was even more desolate!
After an hour or so, the young girl stopped her rambling thoughts and looked at the passageway outside the house as she hesitated.
A moment later, she stood up and quietly walked out of the house. After walking out of the stone room and following the path for some distance, she turned into a hall that was crisscrossed with several arches. One of them, was the passageway she had come in through.
But what made the young girl pay attention was that beside each of the arches, there stood a giant ape puppet. They were motionless, as if they were dead.
The young girl blinked her long eyelashes, and then tried to walk towards the nearest archway. But before she got close to the place, the giant ape next to her flickered silently and expressionlessly, blocking the way.
The young girl took a step back in fear, but the giant ape coldly stood back in its original position. The dark eyes slightly turned, once again tried to go forward, the puppet similarly blocked the front.
This time, Gongsun Xing had realized at this moment that the front did not seem to be a place she could go, so she headed for another archway instead.
This time, the giant ape puppet next to her didn’t move a bit, which made the young girl’s heart relieved, and went straight through the door. After passing through a small, rather chic garden, another stone house with a closed stone door appeared in front of her.
The young girl took a few steps to the door and curiously pushed it with her slender hand, and the stone door was easily pushed open. This time, Xing’er used her clear gaze to make a slight sweep inside the house, and the inside was clear at a glance.
A pile of stone platforms stacked with colorful jade slips were placed in the middle of the house, and next to it was a short round stone pier, a few pots of light green exotic grasses, which appeared to be quiet and unusual.
The young girl pursed her cute little mouth and walked in without much thought.
Then she walked to the stone platform, casually grabbed a red jade slip, and sank her divine sense into it.
This was a tome that introduced the knowledge of formations, the young girl was not interested in her heart, and after a few glances at it, she withdrew her divine sense and placed the jade slip back into its original position.
Another hand picked up a white jade brief, once again with the divine sense to check, this time is an introduction to the Dao of refining weapons. The young girl naturally had no intention of looking at it in detail, and similarly withdrew her divine sense.
However, the contents of the two jade slips were not the same, which made the young girl a little curious, and picked up three or four more in succession, checking them out one by one.
