Shui Yunyue had once told Qin Hai that Chang Xiaomin was not as happy as she looked.
In reality, this was the truth. Although she was laughing and playing every day as if she was the fruit of everyone"s happiness, her heart was actually more depressed than anyone else.
Despite being in the Blue Luan World, the daughter of the Palace Master of the Buried Flower Palace was not able to cultivate. She was no different from a cripple.
At least, that was what Chang Xiaoming thought.
Qin Hai could understand Chang Xiaomin"s feelings. The Blue Luan World was different from the mortal world. In this world where martial arts ruled supreme, being unable to cultivate was indeed a fatal flaw.
"Little Min, can you give me your hand? I want to help you check your body."
It wasn"t that Qin Hai thought he was stronger than the Palace Mistress of the Buried Flower Palace, but he really wanted to do something for her. For Chang Xiaomin, any consolation was useless. It was best if her body returned to normal.
"Brother Lin, you even know how to treat illnesses?" Chang Xiaomin looked curiously at Qin Hai, her eyes flashing with surprise.
Qin Hai gently grasped Chang Xiaomin"s wrist and sent his Quintessential Essence into it. He began to inspect Chang Xiaoming"s body condition. At the same time, he smiled and said, "I only understand a little. Don"t hold too much hope."
"Big Brother Lin, you"re so awesome. I"ve never seen anyone who knows so much like you!"
Qin Hai laughed, "You better not let your mother hear that, or else she won"t be happy."
At this moment, Qin Hai suddenly frowned.
By transferring that bit of true essence into Chang Xiaoming"s body, he was able to quickly feel the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pearl hidden in Chang Xiaoming"s body. The Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pearl was floating in Chang Xiaomin"s dantian, constantly releasing spirit energy to nourish her internal organs, as well as her eight extraordinary meridians.
However, there was a cold and sinister energy within Chang Xiaoming"s meridians. Not only did it cause her meridians to become blocked, but it also attempted to invade her internal organs. If not for the Origin Energy that the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pearls emitted blocking their path, this cold aura would have quickly taken over her entire body, causing her to be in danger.
Not only that, the cold aura could even corrode the elemental energy released by the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Bead. In time, if the elemental energy within the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Bead ran out, Chang Xiaomin would once again face a life or death crisis.
When he thought of this, Qin Hai withdrew his true essence. After pondering for a moment, he warned cautiously, "Little Min, do not ever take out the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Bead again. What you did today was extremely dangerous."
"Brother Lin, do you have a way to treat me?" Chang Xiaoming"s eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Qin Hai shook his head. He had tried to use his true essence to attack the cold energy, but it had been useless. It was unknown what this aura was but it had already been deeply rooted in Chang Xiaoming"s meridians. Even the ma.s.sive amount of elemental energy in the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Bead was unable to expel it, much less his tiny amount of true essence.
Seeing Chang Xiaoming"s disappointed face turn dejected once more, Qin Hai consoled her, "Although I can"t cure him, my master is very powerful. When I find him, I"ll help you ask him. He"ll definitely have a way."
"Big Brother Lin, you"re already so strong, your master must be even stronger!" Chang Xiaoming immediately grew excited, her eyes lighting up.
… ….
Unknowingly, the sky started to brighten as the night pa.s.sed.
When Qin Hai woke up from his cultivation, Chang Xiaoming was sleeping soundly on his lap. Her pure face had a soft glow to it, making her look especially clean and pure.
Yesterday night, the two of them had a heart-to-heart chat by the bonfire. Chang Xiaomin not only gave Qin Hai a detailed description of the Buried Flower Palace, but also told him about her own upbringing. For example, how her mother had thought of ways to treat her illness, and how she had spent so much effort to find the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Bead to help her stabilize her illness, all of her words revealed the deep feelings she held for the Buried Flower Palace, as well as her mother"s deep longing and love.
It could be seen that she really wanted to do something for the Buried Flower Palace and for her mother.
Qin Hai introduced her to the situation of the mortal world and described how vast the outside world was. It also made Chang Xiaoming curious.
When Ou Zhiyun came out of the tent rubbing his eyes, Chang Xiaoming also woke up. She discovered that she was lying on Qin Hai"s lap. Her cheeks immediately turned red as she shyly said, "Good morning, Brother Lin!"
"Morning!" Qin Hai smiled and said, "We need to hurry up and get out of this d.a.m.n place as soon as possible. Don"t delay our return."
Afterwards, the three of them ate a simple meal and continued forward. This time, Qin Hai quietly released Xiao Jin and Xiao Hong, hoping that the two little fellows would help him investigate the situation of the maze.
This was the solution that Qin Hai had thought of last night, and it turned out to be very useful. Not long after, Qin Hai had used Xiao Jin to discover the abnormal situation.
He immediately brought Chang Xiaoming and Ou Zhiyun to a bottomless pit. There was a sound coming from the bottom of the pit as if something was climbing up.
Qin Hai and the others quickly hid behind the rocks. Not long after, they discovered a man with a face full of dust crawling out of the hole.
"It"s Uncle Liu!" Qin Hai was sizing up this person and finding him somewhat familiar, but he could not recall who he was. At this moment, Chang Xiaoming had already jumped up and ran over happily.
Qin Hai and Ou Zhiyun quickly followed him. As they entered, they discovered that the person who had crawled out of the pit was surprisingly the old man they had met at the spirit beast store. However, this old man was covered in dust, and his face was dirty to the point that it was almost impossible to see his original appearance. He could be said to be a native.
Qin Hai held back his laughter, took out a water bottle from his Universe Ring and handed it to him. "Senior, why did you come in too?"
The old man"s name was Liu Ren. Not only was he good at rearing spirit beasts, he was also Chang Xiaoming"s personal bodyguard. He had been following behind Qin Hai and the others the entire way. Yesterday, when Qin Hai and the others were attacked by Lan Sen Ze"s group, Liu Ren was lurking on the side. However, he had a deep cultivation base, so Lan Sen Ze did not notice his presence.
Taking the water bottle from Qin Hai, Liu Ren glared at him. "You still have the nerve to ask me, if you didn"t bring Little Min to this d.a.m.n place, would I be able to come in here?"
Qin Hai immediately understood. This old man was most likely Chang Xiaoming"s personal bodyguard and not some small fry that raised spirit beasts.
For this old man to be acknowledged by the Palace Master of the Buried Flower Palace and be entrusted with such a heavy task, his cultivation must be quite extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Qin Hai quickly asked, "Senior, do you know this maze? Do you know how we can leave?"
"Aren"t you proficient in formations? Why can"t you break a small maze?" After Liu Ren was done washing up, he finally revealed his original look. He glared at Qin Hai, "I think you"re just average. You dare to take Miss Min everywhere at this level. How audacious! Once we get back, I want to see how you"ll explain this to the Asgard Mistress! "
