Chapter 118

Chapter 118

After Huang Feiyu left, Qin Ran reinforced the restrictions at the bottom of the lake overnight, and set up formations in the confirmed areas at the bottom of the lake to limit them and prevent the spiritual veins from being broken again.

The next morning, Qin Ran was reading by the lakeside, continuing to study the Guardian Mountain Formation, when Su Changqing and Bai Ruoxi came to find him again.

"Every time I see Brother Qin, Brother Qin is reading. Brother Qin is really studious." Su Changqing praised, "It is indeed a model for us juniors to follow."

"No such thing, I'm just reading some miscellaneous things to pass the time." Qin Ran put away the book and replied.

Bai Ruoxi stood at the edge of the lake pit and looked into the lake. She discovered that the pit was much bigger than it had been a few days ago, and it was starting to look something like a lake.

She said, "Your lake is coming along quickly."

"Fellow Daoist Bai has been a great help." Qin Ran said with a smile.

That day, Bai Ruoxi had a great battle with Li Shiyin, with white feathers and stars flying everywhere, doing a lot of work to open up this lake pit. Plus Huang Feiyu's explosion yesterday, this lake was really starting to take shape.

"Hmm..." Bai Ruoxi laughed softly, then pointed to the cat climbing frame by the lake and asked, "What's that thing?"

"A cat climbing frame." Qin Ran answered.

"What?" This thing didn't exist in this world, so Bai Ruoxi really didn't understand.

"Something for Chasing the Wind to play on."

After Bai Ruoxi finished asking her questions, Su Changqing finally looked at Qin Ran and asked, "Is Brother Qin ready?"

Qin Ran tidied his collar and stood up, smiling as he said those words himself: "Always ready."

"Then let's go!"

"Just us?" Qin Ran was surprised.

"There are three other fellow daoists waiting for us at the Master Peak." Su Changqing said. "This time we're going to the land of immortal legacy to look for the Devouring Demon Willow, so not too many people should come."

"I see, that saves me some effort." Qin Ran nodded, then went to the edge of the lake pit and called down to Li Shiyin at the bottom, "Shiyin, I'm going out for a while, it may take some time, so take good care of Chasing the Wind and Long Qiqi."

"Ah?" Li Shiyin was startled. Gripping her sword, she turned back and looked up at Qin Ran, "Going out again? Aren't you grounded?"

Bai Ruoxi was beside Qin Ran, covering her mouth and giggling. She knew what was going on. Qin Ran had been in the same state after the last ride on the cloud ship.

After flying for a while, Qin Ran was barely holding it in, but still felt a bit nauseous. To save face, he couldn't say he was afraid of heights. He could only force a smile and endure it to greet the qi cultivator called Chu Batian, "Greetings, Fellow Brother Chu!"

Seeing Qin Ran's reluctant appearance, Chu Batian took an instant dislike to him and just nodded slightly without returning the greeting.

Seeing that the team was already in discord before the mission had even started, Su Changqing sighed inwardly. This team was not easy to lead.

His eyes turned, and he suddenly saw Bai Ruoxi covering her mouth and giggling while glancing at Qin Ran from time to time. He took note and went over to Bai Ruoxi to whisper, "What is Junior Sister laughing about?"

Bai Ruoxi whispered a few sentences in his ear.

Su Changqing was immediately shocked, looking at Qin Ran with a bizarre expression. In all his years of cultivation, he had seen all kinds of bizarre things, but this was the first time he had heard of something so strange about Qin Ran...

How odd!

He couldn't help but sigh.

The six people boarded the cloud ship. Su Changqing took the helm as the temporary team leader. He took out a mid-grade spirit stone and placed it on the disk. After the disk swallowed the spirit stone, he pinched the incantation seals and manipulated the cloud ship to fly out of the Sword Sect.

There were six people on this cloud ship - three from Lingnan Immortal Sect: Su Changqing, Bai Ruoxi and Chu Batian; and three from the Sword Sect: Qin Ran, Jian Yuanjie and Qi Yun.

Their purpose on this trip was to go deep into the core of the Hengduan Mountains to find the Devouring Demon Willow that was about to ascend.

Of the six people, the three from the Sword Sect, Qin Ran and Jian Yuanjie, were well-read and knowledgeable about the Hengduan Mountains, serving as guides; while the three from Lingnan Immortal Sect had higher status and stronger combat power, and were in charge of operations.

As soon as he boarded the cloud ship, Qin Ran immediately found an isolated corner and sat down cross-legged to meditate.

The cloud ship flew swiftly, and soon Su Changqing called out to him, "Brother Qin, wake up, we have to get off now." Only then did he come to his senses.

Qin Ran opened his eyes and looked around. He found they were above the primitive forest, with white fog and thunder and lightning flashing ahead. Even with excellent vision from his mystic arts, he still couldn't see clearly.

He knew in his heart that they had reached the edge of the core area of the Hengduan Mountains.

This was the limit of how far they could fly. They had to descend into the primitive forest below and carefully proceed on foot from here.

The six of them disembarked from the cloud ship, and Su Changqing put away the cloud ship. They descended like birds into the primitive forest, looked around, then unanimously gazed toward the misty area ahead...

They all knew that this adventure had officially begun.
