What is the relationship between Chapter 115 and Xiaotong?
"Hmph! You wicked dragon, you dare to bully me, I won't share a single drop of my spiritual energy with you!"
The voice was crisp and clear. Qi Yan thought for a full quarter of an hour before he remembered that it was the child's voice!
But there are some differences; the voice of the Spirit of Extinction is somewhat immature, and it can only be said to be about 50% similar.
Thinking about how Xiaotong hadn't specified where she was going, and what she had said to him that night at the Song family's house...
Qi Yan felt that the child might have some connection with the Spirit of Extinction, but since Yun Zhao was still absorbing spiritual energy, he put the matter aside for the time being and protected Yun Zhao.
Despite its sour and foul smell, the Cold Wood Dragon obediently flew to Qi Yan's head and joined him in protecting the Dharma.
Another half hour passed before Yun Zhao finally finished absorbing all the spiritual energy. Of course, in such a short time, he didn't refine it all, and Yun Zhao only broke through to the third level of the Golden Core stage.
Yun Zhao opened her eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. She exclaimed in surprise, "This little guy just gave me pure spiritual energy. It seems that it is not with the Qi of Annihilation."
Qi Yan wondered why Yun Zhao didn't recognize the similarity between the voice of the Spirit of Extinction and the child's, but then he thought that perhaps the Spirit of Extinction hadn't allowed anyone other than him to hear its voice.
Seeing the Spirit of Extinction nestled obediently in Yun Zhao's hand, Qi Yan said, "Zhao Zhao, let's take it with us. I think this little guy doesn't seem to have any ability to protect itself. If it stays here alone, I'm afraid it will be coveted by others."
Hanmu Jiao: "???"
May I ask?
Was I thrown so far away by a ghost?
It got angry and stopped talking, leaving Qi Yan to guess.
Qi Yan ignored it. Yun Zhao didn't notice anything unusual about the Cold Wood Dragon. She poked the Spirit of Extinction, "Little guy, do you want to come with me?"
The spirit of extinction chirped twice, indicating that it wanted to be with Yun Zhao.
Before leaving, Hanmu Jiao, who had already calmed himself down, reminded Yun Zhao, "Although the human race avoids talking about the aura of extinction, some people have seen the spirit of extinction. To avoid trouble, it's best to hide it well."
This troubled Yun Zhao. Living creatures couldn't go into her storage bag. She did have a spirit beast bag, but she tried it just now and even the Extinction Spirit couldn't get in.
Hanmu Jiao remained silent. "Is it possible that you haven't yet formed a contract with the Spirit of Annihilation?"
Yun Zhao slapped his forehead, "Oh dear, I forgot."
She doesn't have a contracted spirit beast and isn't very familiar with it.
But they had contacted Gu Dinghan before, and Gu Dinghan had taught them the spiritual techniques for contracting demonic beasts.
Yun Zhao tried to use a spiritual technique to contract the Spirit of Extinction. The contract array was generated, but it did not take effect.
She did not receive the consciousness of the Spirit of Extinction, which means the contract was not successful.
Finally, the Azure-Eyed Fox came up with a solution: it had the Spirit of Extinction perch on Yun Zhao's shoulder with it, and when they encountered people, it would use its tail to cover the Spirit of Extinction.
It has the ability to hide, which can reduce the presence of the Spirit of Destruction.
As for what to do after leaving the secret realm, we'll just have to take it one step at a time.
They continued walking forward, and this time they really saw the light of the exit. Qi Yan went out first, and only after seeing that there was no danger did she let Yun Zhao come out.
The outside was completely different from the inside of the passage. A large expanse of lush grass came into view, a sight entirely different from what was seen outside the Lingxu Palace.
Yun Zhao was somewhat puzzled, "Shouldn't the interior of Lingxu Palace be filled with various buildings? Why is it a grassland?"
It was still an endless grassland, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The grass was very short, only reaching ankle height, so there was no need to worry about any monsters lurking inside.
Qi Yan guessed, "Perhaps this area also belongs to the Lingxu Palace. Zhao Zhao, let's walk forward and see if we can see any other buildings."
Strangely enough, when they stood there and looked into the distance, it appeared to be a grassland, but after walking for a while, they discovered that the place was not what it seemed.
Other things began to appear in my field of vision: first a river, then several boats, and on the boats…
There's someone here!
The ferryman, wearing a straw raincoat, waved to them from afar and shouted, "Come quick, the boat is about to leave!"
Yun Zhao and Qi Yan exchanged a glance. As they walked towards the location, she said, "Qi Yan, the people on the ship don't seem to be the ones who entered the secret realm. We'll see how things go later."
Qi Yan nodded and tightened his grip on Yun Zhao's hand. "Okay."
The two boarded the same boat, found a place to sit down, and when the ferryman saw that no one else was boarding, he called out and set sail with the other ferrymen.
Yun Zhao discreetly observed the people on the boat. They were men and women, and appeared to be ordinary people without any cultivation. They looked very tired, and were either eating or resting, but no one was talking.
The boat they were on was made of ordinary wood and was not some kind of magical artifact.
After the boat had traveled for a while, a child who had been sitting on the boat stood up, carrying a cloth bag, and asked each person to pay money.
The people on the boat then slowly began to speak, recounting their day's gains. Yun Zhao and Qi Yan listened quietly, gleaning some useful information.
It turned out that they went to that grassland to collect a spiritual plant called Crescent Grass. They went and returned on the same day, and then took the collected Crescent Grass to the Spiritual Plant Hall to sell.
Crescent grass is hard to find and sells for a high price, so many people come here to find crescent grass to make a living.
Because their home was separated from this meadow by a large river, the profession of ferryman arose.
The children carrying cloth bags and asking people to pay were the ferryman's children.
Qi Yan observed the people in front of him, wanting to see how many spirit stones they paid, so that he could learn from them and pay the same amount.
But the people in front of me paid in small pieces of silver!
Qi Yan's lips twitched. Where was he supposed to find someone like that?
Seeing the child approaching, Yun Zhao tugged at him and said to the child, "This is the boat fare for my brother and me."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of silver and was about to put it in.
The child stopped her, took the loose silver coins, weighed them in his hand, and took out a very small piece from his cloth bag to give to Yun Zhao.
"You gave me too much; here's your change."
Yun Zhao took it without saying anything.
In the cultivation world, spirit stones are the currency, and ordinary gold and silver have no value, but Yun Zhao has some gold and silver ingots in his storage bag.
She had gotten it to play with, never expecting it to be useful now. She didn't know exactly how much she had to pay, so she just broke off a piece.
The child walked past them to ask someone else to pay. Yun Zhao wanted to strike up a conversation with the old lady next to him to ask for some information, but unexpectedly, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
Qi Yan, using his sleeve as a cover, grasped her hand and whispered, "I'm not your brother..."
Her voice carried a hint of grievance, making her sound extremely pitiful.
Yun Zhao suddenly felt like teasing him. "If you're not the older brother, then you're the younger brother? Well, you are my junior brother, aren't you?"
Qi Yan: "..."
He's not the younger brother either!
Regardless of how aggrieved Qi Yan was, the cold wooden dragon that Yun Zhao used as a hairpin was about to burst out laughing.
