Chapter 86 The Cloud Realm is About to Open
Chapter 86 The Cloud Realm is About to Open
Since the wooden house was built, Su Luo has been completely idle, spending her days either planting various spiritual plants or thinking of ideas to make all kinds of delicious food.
Because there were too few vegetables in the garden, and not many wild vegetables and fruits on the island, Su Luo took some time to use the teleportation array to go to a nearby town and bought a lot of things she needed, especially vegetable seeds and fruit tree seedlings.
Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue were busy cultivating, and Su Luo, seeing how hard they were working, prepared some delicious food for them. Fortunately, with the help of the Seven-Colored Lotus, they successfully broke through their cultivation levels and advanced to the peak of Foundation Establishment one after the other.
The group was naturally delighted.
It was early July, and summer had arrived. The sun was shining longer, the island was lush and green, and the streams were babbling. The bamboo forest on the back mountain was even more lush and verdant, towering densely and blocking out the sun, with only green as its backdrop.
Feng Xiyue was overjoyed when she successfully extracted a high-grade elixir from her cave. Just then, her communication stone lit up.
Feng Xiyue's expression changed immediately, and she quickly touched the communication stone, from which her master's voice came through.
"Moon, the Cloud Realm is about to open. Disciples and elders from all the major sects have already gone there to set up camp. Your master has already taken your junior brother there. You and Wenqing should also get there as soon as possible and try to reach Floating Light Town before August."
After hearing the telepathic message, Feng Xiyue lowered her eyes, lost in thought. She looked up in the direction of the wooden building in the distance, and after a long while, a long sigh echoed from the cave.
"Are you leaving so soon...?"
That evening, Feng Xiyue revealed the news, and the dinner table immediately fell silent.
Chu Wenqing said reluctantly, "You're leaving so soon?!"
Su Luo had long been prepared for them to leave, so she wasn't too surprised. She just felt a little lost thinking that she would soon be all alone on the island.
"It's already early July, and if we want to arrive before August, we'll have to leave in three days at the latest."
Chu Wenqing did the math and suddenly the food lost its appeal. She listlessly put down her chopsticks, exclaiming, "It was too fast!"
Feng Xiyue smiled wryly, "There's nothing we can do. This time, the Cloud Realm is a huge event, with almost half of the cultivation world participating. We need to get there as soon as possible to prepare. Besides, Master and Junior Brother are also on their way there. We can't just let Junior Brother enter the Cloud Realm alone; it's very dangerous there."
Chu Wenqing sighed, "I know, it just feels so sudden..."
He'd been having such a good time lately that he'd completely forgotten he was out training. He never imagined he'd have to leave so soon…
Feng Xiyue didn't say anything, but she didn't seem very happy either, so she must have been reluctant to leave.
Seeing the two of them acting so emo, Su Luo cleared her throat and changed the subject, "By the way, what is the Cloud Realm? It sounds like a secret realm."
Chu Wenqing's attention was immediately diverted. "Oh yeah, I didn't realize it just now. I've never heard of this secret realm before."
It was never mentioned in the novel!
"You're so slow to react!"
Feng Xiyue rolled her eyes at him. "Who told you never to read ancient books? I have read some records in ancient books too."
"I can't understand ancient books either..."
Feng Xiyue began to explain: "Ancient books record that the Cloud Realm originated in ancient times. It was once the site of an ancient battlefield. Not long after the war between immortals and demons ended a thousand years ago, the Cloud Realm never opened again, and it has always been sealed by a very powerful barrier. Now that it is suddenly about to open, countless people in the cultivation world are rushing there."
Su Luo asked in surprise, "It hasn't been opened for a thousand years?"
“Yes. Some time ago, there was some activity in the Cloud Realm. The Ancestor... happened to be passing by and took a look, and that's when he confirmed that the Cloud Realm was about to open.” As she spoke, Feng Xiyue paused and turned to look at Su Luo.
"Su Luo, do you want to come with us? The Cloud Void Realm restricts entry to those with cultivation levels above the Golden Core stage. Besides the disciples sent by the major sects, many independent cultivators will also be going."
Chu Wenqing's eyes lit up. "Yes, Su Luo, come with us! Since this Cloud Realm is so powerful, there must be many opportunities and treasures inside. With your good luck, you're sure to find something good!"
"Um, no thanks."
Su Luo waved her hand, "Since this secret realm has not been opened for a thousand years and was once an ancient battlefield, it must be fraught with danger. I'd rather not take the risk."
Of course, this wasn't her main reason for refusing. The main reason was those disciples! If she went to the Cloud Realm, she would inevitably encounter the protagonist and supporting characters of the novel, and naturally, she would get entangled with them. She really didn't want to see those people again!
The two couldn't help but feel a little disappointed by Su Luo's decisive refusal.
"Alright then, there's nothing I can do if you don't want to go; after all, it's your choice..."
Feng Xiyue thought of the people who were going to participate this time and couldn't help but look disgusted. "It's better if you don't go. If you go, you will inevitably run into people from Tianyi Sect. It will save you from them harassing you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Wenqing also remembered this matter, and he nodded hurriedly, "Senior Sister is right, it's fine if we don't go. It's okay, I'll find more treasures anyway, and I'll share some with you. If I'm lucky, I might even get an ancient magic artifact..."
Although Su Luo felt that Chu Wenqing was unlikely to obtain the ancient artifact, everyone should have dreams, right?
So she smiled and didn't refuse.
Since the two were leaving in a couple of days, Su Luo decided to give them some things.
The next day, Su Luo busied herself in the kitchen, the air thick with the smell of spice, causing Feng Xiyue, who came in, to sneeze repeatedly.
"Achoo... What is this? Achoo!"
At this moment, the kitchen was filled with smoke and fumes. Su Luo was stir-frying something, while Chu Wenqing was chopping vegetables.
Hearing the question, the two turned around, and Feng Xiyue's forehead was covered in black lines again, "What kind of outfit is this?"
Su Luo and Chu Wenqing were both wearing black masks that Su Luo had made herself, and black hats on their heads. They didn't look like they were cooking; they looked more like robbers and murderers.
Su Luo blinked and smiled, "I'm stir-frying beef, and I'm going to make some beef sauce for you to take away."
"Beef sauce?"
Chu Wenqing spent an hour chopping chilies and garlic, tears streaming down her face from the irritation, but her voice was full of excitement, "The beef sauce is so fragrant! It's absolutely delicious when you put it in a pancake or steamed bun! Of course, it's also great with noodles or porridge!"
In his real life, he loved spicy food, but ever since he transmigrated to the world of the novel, he could only eat porridge and steamed buns in the Lingxiao Sect, and his mouth was so bland! Fortunately, he met Su Luo and started eating better food.
So when Su Luo asked him if there was anything he wanted to take with him on the road, he suggested beef sauce without hesitation!
Upon hearing Chu Wenqing's words, Feng Xiyue's mouth watered involuntarily. She swallowed and walked into the kitchen, saying, "Let me help too!"
The three of them worked together and finally made two jars of beef sauce, one jar for each person.
Su Luo also made a lot of braised food for them, including braised beef and braised eggs, enough for them to eat for a while.
Soon it was time for Chu Wenqing and the others to leave, and they were still outside the familiar flower grove.
Chu Wenqing stood in front of Su Luo, repeatedly instructing her: "Su Luo, after we leave, you'd better renovate this island again, making sure that outsiders can't enter! When you go out, be sure to take precautions and don't let anyone bully you..."
Su Luo agreed to all of them.
"I don't know when I'll be able to come back to see you after I leave this time, but I'll try my best to persuade everyone! You must save me a room!" Chu Wenqing winked at Su Luo as he spoke.
It seems he hasn't given up on persuading the Lingxiao faction to come to this island to escape the war.
Su Luo chuckled, "Okay, I got it. Do your best."
Feng Xiyue then handed Su Luo a communication stone, saying, "Su Luo, I'll use this communication stone to contact you if anything happens. Don't just leave it in your storage bag and forget about it."
"Will not……"
"And..." She took out several bottles of pills and a piece of paper and handed them to Su Luo. "These are my most treasured pills. The paper has detailed instructions. Don't be reluctant to use them."
"Uh-huh."
"at last……"
Feng Xiyue hesitated for a moment, her expression unnatural, "About last night, I..."
Last night she told Su Luo the real reason she wanted to see her...
Su Luo's expression changed slightly, then she interrupted her with a smile, "It's okay, it's not your fault. You don't need to feel uneasy, I know what I'm doing."
"it is good……"
Chu Wenqing was completely bewildered. "What happened last night?"
Feng Xiyue quickly retorted, "You don't need to know."
"Well……"
Seeing the two bickering, Su Luo quickly took out two burlap sacks and gave one to each of them, saying, "Here you go, you can use them after entering the secret realm."
"what?"
The two men took the sack with blank expressions and opened it, only to find it filled with all sorts of talismans, both mid-grade and high-grade, a dazzling array.
"Holy crap! Su Luo, you...you're really going to give us so many talismans?!"
Feng Xiyue was also dumbfounded.
She knew Su Luo had a talent for talismans, but she was surprised that Su Luo could draw so many talismans and give them to them!
"Just a little token of my appreciation."
Su Luo waved her hand dismissively, "There are a lot of offensive talismans inside. Use them freely once you enter the secret realm. Don't be shy, you can even scatter them around for fun."
Two people:…
That's so extravagant! I'm so envious!
All good things must come to an end, and they eventually had to leave. When the two entered the pillar of light to say goodbye to Su Luo, Chu Wenqing kept waving to Su Luo, his eyes slightly red.
"Su Luo, I will definitely come back! Take care of yourself~"
Feng Xiyue chimed in, "Me too! I'll definitely come find you in the future!"
Su Luo smiled faintly, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
