Chapter 995 My Daoist Companion Fell in Love with Someone Else on the Road to Resurrecting Me (6)
Inside the forbidden area of the Immortal Crossing Sect, Wen Yuheng, who had rushed back, saw the overturned Xuanbing coffin in his cave and his heart jumped into his throat.
He flew to the front of the ice coffin and saw that it was empty.
Outside the forbidden area, Yun Qingyi and the other elders waited together, each with a tense expression.
Yun Qingyi subconsciously clenched her fists, her eyes darting away.
What on earth is going on? Why hasn't Master come out yet? Could it be... could it be that Shen Shuyi has woken up?
How could that be? He had clearly already perished.
Just then, Wen Yuheng, with a cold expression, emerged from the forbidden area.
He glanced at the elders and asked, "Have you seen the Holy Maiden emerge from seclusion?"
"The Holy Maiden?" The elders were stunned. Wasn't the Holy Maiden dead?
"Sect Master, we haven't seen the Holy Maiden. Isn't she inside?"
Wen Yuheng's expression was grave. "The Holy Maiden has disappeared."
"Investigate thoroughly and see if any outsiders have entered or left the sect during this period!"
"Yes, we'll check right away."
"Sect Master, the Guiyue Secret Realm will open next month. Should we send inner disciples to train there as scheduled?"
Wen Yuheng pinched the bridge of his nose. "It will proceed as scheduled."
The Guiyue Secret Realm only opens once every hundred years. The last time it opened was when he and Shuyi were searching for treasures in the secret realm. The Guiyue Secret Realm was also the place where he and Shuyi fell in love.
But where is Shuyi now? Was she forcibly taken away?
It is absolutely impossible for Shuyi to wake up and leave the Duxian Sect alone.
Wen Yuheng had no time to think further. He immediately checked Shen Shuyi's soul lamp and saw that it was still burning. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the lamp is there, the person is there; if the lamp goes out, the person dies. As long as Shuyi is still alive, he will find him even if he has to search to the ends of the earth!
Yun Qingyi noticed Wen Yuheng's expression and followed him back to Qingyun Peak.
"Master, are you going to find the Holy Maiden?"
"Hmm." Wen Yuheng summoned the spirit butterfly, and then had the tracking spirit butterfly attach itself to the spirit sword that Shen Shuyi had given him.
He didn't linger and followed the trail of the spirit butterfly to leave the Ferry Immortal Sect.
"Master, wait for me, I'll go with you to find the Holy Maiden."
Wen Yuheng stopped, turned around and met her pleading eyes. He remembered the debt he owed her in the secret realm, and his heart softened for once.
"This journey will be arduous; you might as well stay in the sect and cultivate."
"Master, could you please not send me away now? Once I find the Holy Maiden, I will leave the Crossing Immortal Sect to go out and train. I'm afraid I won't come back after that," Yun Qingyi said, looking up at Wen Yuheng.
"Alright, come with me." Wen Yuheng took her with him, and they flew together on their swords.
On that day, Shen Shuyi bought many good items at the Tongzhou City auction and took Li Canglan to find a place full of spiritual energy to cultivate in seclusion.
Instead of searching blindly, Shen Shuyi had the system locate a blessed land.
This blessed land is located in a valley. The valley is open and full of exotic flowers and rare herbs. The air is filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs and spiritual energy, making it a spiritual valley.
Deep in the valley, there is another cave dwelling, where the fragrance of herbs is even stronger. It is a wonderful place left behind by some great master. There are also several medicine cauldrons inside the cave dwelling.
Shen Shuyi dropped the little silver snake and spread her arms to circulate her profound magic, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Li Canglan's gaze fell on the spiritual spring inside the cave. As if summoned by something, he subconsciously leaped into the spiritual pool.
Shen Shuyi noticed this scene out of the corner of her eye, then closed her eyes again and continued her cultivation.
She refined the herbs she bought at the auction into pills on the spot and consumed them. A continuous stream of spiritual energy gathered, and she finally broke through to another realm.
With her spiritual energy fully restored, Shen Shuyi slowly opened her eyes, feeling incredibly refreshed after the breakthrough.
She looked up and her gaze suddenly stopped. Golden light in the spirit pool was wrapped around the little silver snake in wisps. After a while, the mist dissipated, revealing a body that could be described as exquisite.
Dark hair clung to her neck and shoulders, water droplets sliding down her chin and into the hollow of her collarbone.
With delicate, arched eyebrows, slightly upturned eyes, and dark, watery pupils, he exuded a languid, dreamy air, like a banished immortal.
With a high, straight nose and bright red, luscious lips, her untouched appearance was alluring.
Her skin was as white and translucent as jade, her shoulders and back were sharply defined, and her waist and abdomen were firm and strong—a physique that was both restrained and full of tension.
However, from the waist down, instead of human legs, there was a huge snake tail covered with glass scales. The scales reflected a shimmering light under the water, making it almost eerily beautiful.
Its tail is thick yet flexible; with a gentle sway, it stirs up ripples in the pool. The tip of the tail curls slightly, occasionally brushing against the pool wall, making a soft, rustling sound.
As if sensing her gaze, Li Canglan slowly raised his eyes, his dark pupils reflecting her image. His confusion faded somewhat, replaced by a growing wariness.
"Is this what you look like in human form?" Shen Shuyi asked first.
Li Canglan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his voice hoarse from his recent transformation, yet clear and crisp like spring water: "Mm."
"This spiritual spring is quite effective." Shen Shuyi glanced at his dazzling snake tail and quickly looked away. "You, with your half-demon body, are truly blessed."
He gave a soft "hmm," and the snake's tail swayed gently again, splashing water droplets onto his chest, winding down his muscles and disappearing into the gaps in his scales. The scene was indescribably alluring, and even the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to become hot.
Snakes are inherently alluring and captivating.
"Thank you." After a long while, he finally uttered two words, his eyebrows and eyes slightly lowered, his long eyelashes casting a small shadow under his eyelids, softening his demonic aura and adding a touch of boyish obedience.
Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow: "No need to thank me, just be a good spirit pet."
Li Canglan glanced at her but didn't say anything more. He wasn't used to being looked at like that, especially since he had just taken human form.
Shen Shuyi seemed to sense his embarrassment, so she took out the robe she had bought for him in Tongzhou City from her Qiankun bag and threw it by the pool.
"Put them on."
"Oh, right, also take this bottle of pills. Three days later, come with me to fight through the Demon Abyss."
"Okay." Li Canglan didn't want to owe her a favor, so he left after repaying it.
After receiving his reply, Shen Shuyi went outside the cave to practice her swordsmanship.
Outside the cave, life was vibrant, lush and green, with flowers in full bloom and a pleasant, misty atmosphere.
Shen Shuyi has broken through the final level of the sword technique. An invisible sword is wielded from her fingertips. Every blade of grass, every tree, every grain of sand, and every stone in the world can become her weapon. It is wonderful beyond words.
Seeing this scene, Li Canglan was deeply moved; the female cultivator before him was truly formidable.
His swordsmanship was even better than his father's.
Shen Shuyi looked up, her weapon vanishing, and met Li Canglan's eyes. "I don't know your cultivation level yet. Don't go to your death when you get to the Demon Abyss."
"Come here and compete with me."
When Li Canglan emerged from the spirit pool, his snake tail had transformed into legs, making him no different from an ordinary male cultivator, but his appearance was simply too handsome.
Dressed in white, her clothes fluttered in the wind, spotless and pure; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe her as graceful and elegant.
Shen Shuyi waited for his answer while looking him up and down.
When Li Canglan met her burning gaze, a sudden sense of foreboding arose within him.
When he went to the auction with her in Tongzhou City, he discovered that human cultivators liked to bid on demons and use them as furnaces for dual cultivation to improve their techniques.
Could she have had such thoughts about keeping him as a spirit pet?
