These eight people were the ones who were captured by the evil-eyed beast to suppress their fortunes.
After Shangguan Xue stood firm, she glanced around and did not see Master Zhi. Her expression changed slightly and she had a bad feeling.
"Where is my master?"
"Your master has passed away."
Xu Chunniang handed her the collected items, "Inside are his bones... and some relics."
Shangguan Xue trembled all over and stared at the small storage rings in front of her.
Master, who had reached the late Nascent Soul stage and had life-saving items such as relics, still died
"Before we parted, Master told me that this trip would be disastrous. I never expected that his words would come true."
Shangguan Xue remained silent, took the storage rings, and looked up at Xu Chunniang.
"Xu... Uncle Master, can you tell me whether Master has accomplished the purpose of this trip?"
If the master has any unfulfilled wishes, she, as his disciple, will naturally fulfill them.
Xu Chunniang sighed softly, "Although Master Liaozhi died, his fortune has been regained. He should have no regrets."
Shangguan Xue put away a few storage rings and thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Xu, for telling me this."
Xu Chunniang looked at Shangguan Xue and thought of Grandmaster Sheng who had mentioned her many times in the sect.
"Are you willing to return to Xiaoyao Sect? Grandmaster Sheng has mentioned you several times..."
Shangguan Xue's eyes showed sadness. That day in Xiaoyao Sect, the demon in her body broke out and an elder suggested that her cultivation should be abolished. It was her master who stepped forward to preserve her cultivation.
It happened to be a turbulent time for the sect. After she was imprisoned by her master, her demonic energy once again became uncontrollable and broke through the barrier in the cave.
She was afraid that her cultivation would be abolished, so she took advantage of the chaos to secretly escape from Xiaoyao Sect. It has been nearly a hundred years since then.
"Master must be extremely disappointed in me. Now that the evil spirit in me has not been eliminated and I have switched to another sect, how can I have the face to go back and see Master?"
Shangguan Xue felt sad. She could no longer go back to Xiaoyao Sect.
Hearing this, Xu Chunniang stopped persuading her.
Grandmaster Sheng holds an honorable position in the sect, but given Senior Sister Shangguan’s current condition, it is indeed not suitable for her to go back.
"So are you planning on returning to Wuliang Sect?"
Shangguan Xue shook her head and said, "I have been in Wuliang Mountain for these years, and apart from Master Zhi, I have rarely interacted with other people.
After I send my master's body back to Wuliang Mountain, I will leave and become a free and easy cultivator, which may be more suitable for me. "
In addition to demonic energy, there is also ghost energy in her body. Master Lezhi was able to protect her when he was around. Now that his master is gone, there is no need for her to return to Wuliang Mountain.
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment, but ultimately did not interfere with her decision.
"Although the Four Qis cultivation is dangerous, it is also an unprecedented path of cultivation. I hope you can find your own way."
"Thank you for your kind words, Uncle Xu. If I ever achieve enlightenment and form a baby, I will return to Xiaoyao Sect and make amends to Master."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, turned to look at the other seven people, and concisely described the process of the seven people's rescue.
"Now that you are free, you may leave."
The seven people bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Master, for your help."
After Xu Chunniang handed the departing map to a few people, she looked deeply at Shangguan Xue again and disappeared on the spot.
Looking at the place where Xu Chunniang disappeared, the other seven people were still a little bit unbelievable.
They originally thought that they would be suppressed under the stone pillars until the moment of their death.
Unexpectedly, they were rescued unexpectedly and were all very surprised.
But soon, someone discovered that there was no spiritual energy around, and looked surprised and suspicious.
"There is no spiritual energy here. Could it be the mortal world?"
Shangguan Xue, who was about to leave, heard this and kindly reminded, "This is the deepest part of the Western Region Mountains."
"So this is the Western Region... What?"
The person who asked the question turned pale. How could he have come to this place in the mountains of the Western Regions
The faces of the others also changed. Not to mention that the mountains in the Western Regions were rife with dangers, the journey back was so long that it would take a long time.
Not to mention that among these people, there are two who only have Qi training level. Given their walking speed, it may take them several years to get out of the Western Regions.
Shangguan Xue looked at the two Qi training cultivators with sympathy and said, "The spiritual energy will soon be revived. You are all lucky people, so you shouldn't starve to death. You guys can walk slowly. I'll go ahead."
Following Shangguan Xue, other cultivators with higher cultivation levels also left one after another. Finally, only two Qi training cultivators were left, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"How about... we go together so that we can have someone to look after us?"
"Okay, let's get started. We'll try to get out of the Western Regions within five years."
For a Qigong practitioner, the journey would take several years, but Xu Chunniang only needed a few months.
Even so, she still felt it was a little slow.
Sitting on the flying boat, she recalled the teleportation formations that could be seen everywhere in the overseas cultivation world, and decided to study them after returning and set up a teleportation formation as soon as possible.
She has quite a few teleportation array diagrams in her hands. With her current attainments in array formations, it is only a matter of time for her to comprehend these array diagrams.
Xu Chunniang released her spiritual sense in a light-hearted mood and swept it downwards.
After the dragon vein is restored, the spiritual energy will slowly recover over time.
By then, this barren land in the Western Regions will also produce some spiritual energy.
The trip was extremely dangerous, and I even faced life-threatening situations twice, but overall, the results were pretty good.
Not only did he solve the problem of the disappearance of spiritual energy, but he also gained a great opportunity from the man in black robe.
Xu Chunniang's heart moved, she sat in meditation and looked inward, and at a glance she saw the origin of the dragon vein in her dantian.
This small ball of origin may look inconspicuous, but it contains amazing vitality and spiritual essence, and its value is immeasurable.
The small branches next to it surrounded the origin of the dragon vein, looking eager to move, and very greedy.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment, separated a quarter of her essence and directed it towards the small branch.
The twig's healing ability is incredible, but it is too fragile now.
With the slightest push, the two poor leaves on the twig will wilt.
Feed it with small branches, so that if it gets injured in the future, it will be easier to treat.
A quarter of the dragon vein's origin flew towards the small branch. The small branch shone brightly and directly absorbed the origin.
Then I saw the two leaves at its top growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the third and fourth green leaves followed.
After absorbing the essence of the dragon vein, the small branch grew seven leaves.
Including the previous two pieces, there are a total of nine pieces.
The small branches now look much more energetic than before, with light flowing on the nine green leaves, making it look mysterious and wonderful.
Staring at the nine emerald green and crisp leaves, Xu Chunniang suddenly had an idea: what would happen if she picked the leaves from the twigs and swallowed them
As if sensing her thoughts, the twig trembled, and the nine green leaves on it also trembled together, as if resisting something.
Xu Chunniang curled her lips. The small branch looked half dead and she couldn't even move it, for fear of accidentally knocking off its leaves.
But now, it looks a lot better. It shouldn't be a big problem if I just pick two leaves.
