After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 80 Peach Blossom Curse

Su Luo and the other two immediately stopped making a fuss and looked around, discovering the red mist that was slowly thickening.

Su Luo frowned, "This fog is strange!"

Feng Xiyue noticed it too, seeing the mist reaching their feet and rising upwards. She swiftly shoved a handful of pills into Chu Wenqing's mouth, "Hurry up and eat them!"

Before Chu Wenqing could react, the pill was swallowed. He was immediately overwhelmed by the stench, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed, unconscious.

"..."

Su Luo's lips twitched. So Chu Wenqing wasn't exaggerating when he said he'd been knocked unconscious by the stench...

A gust of wind blew in from nowhere, and various flower petals danced in the air, dazzling the eyes. Red mist surrounded the four of them, looking dreamlike but hiding danger.

Feng Xiyue asked, "Is this also an array? What kind of array is it?"

"Let me look for it."

Su Luo quickly took out the book on formations and found it soon enough. "This formation is called Peach Blossom Curse. The red mist will make people lose their way, and the smell will cause hallucinations. The longer it goes on, the more severe the hallucinations will become, and it can even kill people."

Feng Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily, we made preparations in advance and even took the Breath-Holding Pill."

Lin Ji asked, "Was there any explanation of how to solve it?"

“Hmm…” Su Luo stared at the last few lines of text on the page. “It wasn’t explicitly stated, but it was mentioned that the array eye is the key to breaking the array.”

"The array's core?" Feng Xiyue was anxious. She looked around, but all she could see was a hazy fog. "How can we find the array's core when we can't see anything?"

The Breath-Holding Pill can only last for two hours. Even with all the pills she has, it can only last for two days. If she can't break the formation within these two days, it will be troublesome!

Su Luo closed the book. "It seems this is a trial given to us by the island's owner."

Then, she patted Lin Ji and said, "Put me down, let me try."

Lin Ji shook his head, unwilling, "But you have almost no spiritual energy left, and you won't be able to stand steadily after getting down."

"It's alright, just hold me." After Su Luo insisted several times, Lin Ji reluctantly put her down and then held her up again.

“Then we’ll help you. More people means more strength.” Feng Xiyue said, then turned around and picked up Chu Wenqing, who was still unconscious on the ground, and shook him. “Junior brother, wake up.”

Chu Wenqing did not react.

Feng Xiyue wasn't surprised and expertly slipped him a pill, which finally woke Chu Wenqing up. The moment Feng Xiyue let go, he was horribly irritated by the stench emanating from his own mouth.

"What's this smell... Ugh!"

He suddenly stepped back, his back hitting a peach tree. Then he turned around, leaned against the tree, and vomited violently.

"Ugh... It stinks! Ugh..."

"what……"

The group of people all took a step back in disgust.

Just then, the peach tree that Chu Wenqing had vomited on suddenly trembled, shaking all over like a person going mad.

"careful!"

Lin Ji instinctively pulled Su Luo into his arms and then lightly stepped back a large distance.

Feng Xiyue also reacted quickly, grabbing Chu Wenqing's hand and pulling him backward.

After trembling for a while, the peach tree began to swell and swell until it reached a terrifying size. Finally, it could no longer hold on and exploded with a "bang," sending peach blossoms flying everywhere.

At that moment, the wind seemed to stop, and peach blossoms slowly drifted down. When everything calmed down, the red mist also disappeared.

Everyone waited for a while, but nothing happened.

Lin Ji blinked, then hesitated before speaking, "It seems we've already... broken the formation..."

The three were taken aback, then exclaimed in unison, "Huh?"

Su Luo was dumbfounded. "What? The formation has been broken already?"

She hasn't done anything yet...

Feng Xiyue glanced subconsciously at the indescribable vomit not far away, pointed at it, and said in disbelief, "Chu Wenqing just vomited on that tree and that solved the problem? Was it really that hasty?!"

Chu Wenqing himself was completely bewildered.

So, what exactly happened just now?

Lin Ji nodded. "I can feel that the surrounding threats are gone, and the aura of the formation has also disappeared."

As if to verify Lin Ji's words, a projection-like image suddenly appeared on the exploded peach tree, showing an old man with white hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom.

All four were startled. "What is this?"

Chu Wenqing suddenly jumped up, pointing excitedly at the object and explaining to everyone, "I know! This is a wisp of someone's primordial spirit left behind, specifically to explain the situation! Novels and storybooks often use this kind of plot! I've seen it many times!"

Su Luo hadn't read many cultivation novels, but after Chu Wenqing's explanation, she suddenly realized, "There really is such a plot. It seems he is that high-level formation master, the owner of the island."

As expected, the old man in the projection did not respond to their words, but simply said to himself, "Congratulations on passing my test. The Peach Blossom Curse is a very evil formation. The fact that you were able to break this formation shows that you have certain abilities. I am very pleased."

"..."

Everyone instinctively looked down at the filthy area not far below the projection, and for a moment they felt their eyes were offended.

Feng Xiyue felt that this world was somewhat fantastical.

Just... vomiting broke the formation? That's easy?!

Chu Wenqing stood up, grinning proudly, "Hehe...who knew that tree would happen to be the key to the formation? I just stumbled upon it by accident!"

As expected of him! He can break the formation with just a casual spit! Could it be that he's become a lucky one by following Su Luo?

Lin Ji turned his face away with obvious disgust, too lazy to say anything.

Su Luo couldn't help but cover her face, her feelings a mix of emotions.

If the other party were still alive, and knew that they had only broken the formation by vomiting on the tree and stimulating the formation's core, they would probably faint from anger.

The old man continued, "Your arrival here means you have fulfilled my last wish. This is our destiny, and also your opportunity. Therefore, in addition to the treasures in the sea, I will give you a gift—this island."

Upon hearing this, Su Luo immediately perked up her ears.

"However, I have set up nine formations on this island. Only by breaking these nine formations can the island officially recognize me as its master."

The old man changed the subject, "The deadline is two months. Within two months, you can freely enter and leave any place on this island without any restrictions. However, the array master among you must be recognized by the island within two months. Otherwise, after two months, you will be rejected by the island, never to enter again, and never to find it again."

After saying that, the light and shadow flickered and were about to disappear. "Promising juniors, I hope you will not let down this old man's efforts to cultivate you."

Before the light and shadow disappeared, Su Luo hurriedly bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Feng Xiyue and Chu Wenqing also quickly bowed and thanked them.

In any case, this formation master did leave them many treasures, and they deserve our gratitude!

Soon, the projection disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
