Wen Yun wrapped herself in a blanket and huddled in the corner of the magic boat. She still felt cold, so she moved closer to Ye Shubai, who naturally took out the silver-striped tiger skin from the mustard seed bag and put it on her.
Shen Xinghai was no longer surprised by the open intimacy between the two men. At this moment, he was standing on the side of the boat fishing. He remained unmoved despite the fierce sea breeze. Facing the open sea that others were terrified of, he had no fear at all.
He was not afraid, after all, he was carrying the piece of rotten wood on his back, so he could float up again if he fell.
Wen Yunban lay on the deck for a long time, wrapped in animal skins and blowing the cold wind for a while. At this moment, her spiritual sea of consciousness was still empty, but at least her mind was no longer dizzy. She held a magic stone and slowly absorbed energy, looking listlessly at the wood behind Shen Xinghai.
"Brother Shen, your wood looks a little familiar."
Shen Xinghai smiled brightly after hearing this: "I also discovered this after I released the magic boat. This wood is actually made of the same material as the boat. I relied on it to cross the sea before, and it saved you today. It shows that it is really a treasure."
Hearing this, even Ye Shubai spoke up, "In the past, the magic cultivators relied on this magic boat to cross the open sea. It is said that it was a tree planted by the gods. Now it is no longer available. Only a few large tribes have hidden one or two magic boats. It is really a rare fortune for you to encounter a piece of wood on the sea."
Wen Yun was also wondering in his heart, why is Senior Brother Shen’s luck so weird
She and Shen Xinghai entered the inner gate from the outer gate at the same time, so she saw the other party's promotion along the way. She was just a girl in her teens on the surface, but in her heart she was an old magician who had practiced for hundreds of years, so her training speed was naturally no faster than that of ordinary people.
But Shen Xinghai looks like a normal young man no matter how you look at him!
Wen Yun was really puzzled, so he tightened the tiger skin on his body and asked in a low voice: "Brother Shen, why did you embark on the path of cultivation?"
"To be honest, my family was considered a prestigious family in the secular world, and there were monks in the family. However, by the time of my father's generation, the Shen family was framed by villains and fell into ruin, and my family all became rural peasants."
Wen Yun's spirits trembled. She looked at Shen Xinghai, who looked lonely and lost in his memories, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Brother Shen, did your grandfather arrange a marriage for you? Do you have a noble fiancée who is also a genius from an aristocratic family? Does she also have a talent for cultivation and has joined a certain cultivation sect?"
"..." Shen Xinghai looked at Wen Yun with a look of shock, wondering: "Junior Sister Wen, are we old acquaintances?!"
"Not really, I'm just guessing."
However, there are quite a few scripts about wealthy noblemen who fall into poverty and are broken off by their fiancées. Wen Yun has read many similar scripts when she had nothing to do. As soon as Shen Xinghai opened his mouth, she had already imagined all the subsequent plots in her mind.
Ye Shubai glanced at Wen Yun calmly. Although he didn't say anything, he had guessed what was in her mind. After all, this girl was bored in his memory world and started to write this kind of storybook spontaneously. She even learned from the storyteller to tell this kind of melodramatic story in a high and low voice while he was practicing sword.
Shen Xinghai didn't know the inside story, so he objected to Wen Yun's admiration: "As expected of Junior Sister Wen, you are really smart. I did have a fiancée in the secular world, but her family broke off the engagement when my family fell into poverty, and we never had any contact since then. I still felt unfair about this two years ago, but now I think marriage should be based on mutual consent. I appreciate the good intentions of the elders, but I can't restrict the wishes of other girls. I heard that she is practicing in a certain sect. I hope she has a smooth journey to immortality."
Wen Yun was filled with awe. Senior Brother Shen's state of mind was much higher than that of the male protagonist in the storybook!
Shen Xinghai was in a good mood. He didn't feel sad at all when talking about the past. Instead, he was in high spirits.
"Later, I joined the Qingliu Sword Sect, and with the help of Junior Sister Wen, I was fortunate enough to enter the inner sect. From then on, I finally understood the saying that the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly! The mortal world is nothing compared to the carefree immortal path!"
Wen Yun thought about it for a while, and finally held back the words, "After you joined the sect, did you pick up a ring with a white-bearded old man hidden inside? He said he would teach you ancient skills."
These details are all stories from the novels. It’s not such a coincidence that they happened to Senior Brother Shen, right
Shen Xinghai had no idea what Wen Yun was thinking about, and he threw his fishing hook towards the sea again. Although it seemed that no fish could survive in the open sea, he still went fishing in high spirits to pass the time.
With this flick, Wen Yun vaguely saw that he was wearing an ancient jade ring on his thumb...
"!!!"
It turns out that everything written in the storybook is true!
Wen Yun stayed by the boat all day long, staring at Shen Xinghai. Shen Xinghai didn't find it unusual, but Ye Shubai next to her noticed something was wrong.
He stood in front of Wen Yun silently, as if looking at the sea view from a distance, just blocking her view.
Wen Yun tugged at the corner of his clothes, suggesting that he move. She was observing Shen Xinghai's ring, trying to see the white-bearded old man inside.
However, Ye Shubai, who was always smart, seemed dull this time. He had no intention of moving his feet. Instead, he chatted with her calmly: "You looked very bad when we got on the boat. Are you okay now?"
This interruption really drew Wen Yun's attention away from the white-bearded old man, and he replied, "Not bad, I'll be fine after a short rest... Huh?"
She originally thought that her mental strength would be restored after a short rest. After all, she had used up her magic power many times in the past. Now that she had the magic stone as an auxiliary means, she thought she would recover faster.
But when Wen Yun looked at his spiritual sea of consciousness again, he was surprised to find that it was still empty. The energy that he had just absorbed from the magic stone was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any movement at all!
She realized belatedly that the huge magic stone in her arms had become dull and lifeless, apparently having had all its energy sucked away.
But there was no movement in Wen Yun's spiritual sea of consciousness!
What's going on
Ye Shubai also noticed that Wen Yun's expression was not right. He focused on the aura on her body and found that not only did she lose her magic power, but she also lost her spiritual power. The originally bright and brilliant golden elixir became dim and lifeless. She had lost all her cultivation and it seemed that she had become an ordinary person again!
Wen Yun wrapped the silver-striped tiger skin tighter. Having lost her cultivation, she was no different from an ordinary person on the open sea. She became particularly afraid of the cold, and her little face exposed to the outside was slightly pale from the cold, full of confusion.
"What's wrong with me?"
When did her magic power become disposable and cannot be replenished once used up
Shen Xinghai also noticed something was wrong here, dropped his fishing rod and walked over: "Junior Sister Wen, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Shubai stepped forward and grabbed Wen Yun's wrist, and examined it carefully, but in the end he could not find any clues. He had never seen such an outrageous thing.
Now, after the Jade Infant's slow breathing, he had recovered some of his spiritual power. He didn't care about anything for the moment and separated a thin stream of spiritual power to probe into Wen Yun's body.
When that strand of spiritual power first entered Wen Yun's body, it quickly flowed into her dim golden elixir as if being drawn.
Ye Shubai even had an illusion that Wen Yun's golden elixir seemed to have become a greedy child, and that strand of spiritual power was the snack it was coveting
Wen Yun also noticed something was wrong, and she quickly distanced herself from the matter to prove her innocence: "I don't mean to take your spiritual power, don't misunderstand me."
Ye Shubai raised his eyelids and glanced at her indifferently. Without saying much, he silently sent over an even stronger spiritual power. Sure enough, it was swallowed by Wen Yun's golden elixir again.
Wen Yun was also speechless.
It would have been fine if her golden elixir absorbed spiritual power, but there was no reaction after swallowing it, so it was equivalent to eating it in vain.
"Is my golden elixir useless?" Wen Yun forced a smile and expressed this guess in a joking tone.
As soon as I opened my mouth, I felt that I was infinitely close to the truth.
The golden elixir cannot leave the body at will. There are life-and-death battles among cultivators. Once the golden elixir is damaged, either the cultivation will be cut off or the person will die. I have never heard of a cultivator being safe and sound.
Wen Yun's golden elixir is a rare flawless golden elixir in the world. Because it is attached with the jade infant fragments containing the Great Dao of Life and Death, it is still intact after leaving the body.
But being dug out once would be fine, but this poor bead has been dug out twice. Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, it is possible that it has withered.
Shen Xinghai's body trembled. Although he didn't know the situation, he could see that Wen Yun's cultivation had disappeared at this moment.
He secretly touched the jade ring on his thumb, a trace of entanglement and struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally he took it off slowly.
Wen Yun, who had experienced countless storms, pursed his lips. Although he was also full of anxiety, he did not show it at all. Instead, he comforted the two people: "It's okay, maybe you were too tired before. I think I just need to rest for two more days."
She caught a glimpse of Shen Xinghai's actions, raised her hand and patted his shoulder, pushing back the hand he was about to extend.
The girl said solemnly: "Everyone has his own opportunity. Senior Brother Shen, thank you very much, but I don't want it."
It was obvious that Senior Brother Shen had had some kind of adventure, but she couldn't think of sacrificing others to save herself just because she was in trouble. The ring must be extremely important to Shen Xinghai, and she couldn't take it away.
Just when Shen Xinghai was about to say something else, the magic boat, which had been sailing smoothly, suddenly shook violently. Wen Yun lost her balance and fell outward. Fortunately, Ye Shubai, who was beside her, kept an eye on her from beginning to end and held her in his arms.
Wen Yun bumped straight into Ye Shubai's chest. It should have been a romantic and ambiguous thing, but she had no cultivation at the moment, and Ye Shubai's flesh was too hard after being tempered by spiritual power. This collision made her nose suddenly sore and unbearable, and a hot current slowly seeped out.
"… "
However, Wen Yun had no time to wipe the blood from his nose at this time. The three people outside the cabin looked up and saw a group of dark clouds as dark as ink gathering not far away, and vaguely connected with it was a huge wave that was rushing towards them and as high as a mountain.
Ye Shubai hurriedly stuffed a silk handkerchief into Wen Yun's hand, left a sentence: "Go into the cabin and wait for me", and then flew to the stern of the magic boat.
Shen Xinghai followed closely behind, and under Ye Shubai's instructions, he began to use all his strength to control the magic boat to avoid the terrible waves.
The magic boat kept shaking and swaying, and the survivors in the cabin were frightened and turned pale. Although the ancestors of these survivors were all fishermen, they had been hiding in caves to survive after entering the demon world. It was the first time in their lives to take a boat, and they were already nervous, and who knew they would encounter such terrible waves.
Ah Xiu and Heishi, the two young men who were the bravest in the past, now looked uneasy. They held each other's hands tightly and looked up at Wen Yun in panic: "Master, can we cross the outer sea?"
Wen Yun, who had lost his cultivation, could not help outside at the moment, but he was not anxious or impatient. He calmly comforted this group of mortals.
Sure enough, after seeing her indifferent attitude, the survivors all felt relieved. With three immortals here, it should not be difficult to cross the open sea safely
Only Wen Yun herself knew how difficult the current situation was. She would feel dizzy even when riding a flying sword, let alone this wobbly magic boat.
However, she was the backbone of everyone at the moment and had to stay calm. Wen Yun, who had seen countless big scenes, endured the discomfort of her body and quickly glanced at the cabin. She immediately knew what was going on.
This magic boat looks like a warship that was used to carry magic cultivators in the past, so it was built very large, and can even accommodate thousands of people. The wood used for the boat is as light as a feather, so the boat is not heavy enough and the draft is too shallow, so it is naturally unstable when encountering wind and waves.
After this answer flashed through his mind, Wen Yun quickly came up with an idea.
Just add more weight to the boat and it will be stable!
At the moment, she had no spiritual power, so she untied the mustard seed bag and threw it to Grandma Ah Hua: "Grandma, take out the big stone inside!"
Wen Yun was talking about the giant magic stone. Once its weight came down, it would surely hold the ship firmly in place!
It was also the first time for Granny Ah Hua to use a mustard seed capsule. After taking it, she tremblingly probed into it with spiritual energy, and then poured it out -
After a splashing sound, the top-grade spiritual jade shining with warm light poured out from the mustard seed bag madly, almost drowning everyone in it.
Those were the 100,000 top-grade spiritual jades that Wen Yun had obtained from the fake Yu Qinghong for nothing!
Grandma Ahua also realized that she had taken out the wrong thing and quickly poured it out again.
Wen Yun had no time to stop it and could only watch as another small pile of top-grade magic stones was poured out.
Once these two weights were added, the slightly lighter magic boat was forced to take a deeper dive into the water, and the shaking and pitching on the boat was also reduced a lot.
Wen Yun looked at the several pieces of top-grade jade and magic stones that were smashed in the cabin with a painful look on her face. She could sense the pure energy that was rapidly escaping from them. This was such a pity. If only she could absorb them into her body like she absorbed the magic stone...
Just as she was thinking this, her body had already realized it and began to absorb these mixed energies autonomously.
The wind and waves outside the cabin continued to rage, and the cabin continued to shake.
However, Wen Yun seemed to have suddenly lost his sense of the outside world. He stood there in a daze, as if he had entered a mysterious world like an old monk in meditation, and was completely disconnected from the outside world.
It was a warm feeling that flowed slowly through every meridian in her body, and finally split into two, one flowing upstream to her spiritual sea of consciousness, and the other flowing into her golden elixir.
Every inch of flesh and blood that the warmth flowed through seemed to be tempered anew, and the hidden injuries this body had suffered in its early years began to slowly heal. Her already fair skin gradually began to glow, as delicate as a newborn baby, and her soft hair became more and more smooth and lustrous, and her whole person looked like a goddess bathed in holy light.
These were the strange things witnessed by the survivors. Wen Yun himself had no idea that such a big change had taken place in himself.
At this moment, she looked at the strange world in front of her in confusion. It was a blank place with no sky above and no earth below. It was so vast and boundless.
Wen Yun looked up at this strange world, thinking about how to get out while taking a casual step forward.
This simple step actually covered a distance of a thousand meters!
Wen Yun was extremely surprised. The laws of time and space that she had previously found difficult to use suddenly became easy to use in this wonderful world!
She even had an absurd idea that in this strange space, she was an omnipotent god!
She stretched out her hand and suddenly felt a strange warm current. It felt very familiar, but she had never seen anything like it before.
They flowed through her body, and then slowly began to condense into a ball of light in front of her eyes. Wrapped in the center was Wen Yun's flawless golden pill!
Wen Yun walked forward and touched the golden elixir with a strange feeling, but it did not react and continued to absorb the warm current that came from nowhere.
However, she found that it was no longer round, but had become bumpy. Moreover, as the light spots gathered, it not only did not restore its original beauty, but became increasingly rough...
The picky woman withdrew her hand with a look of disgust: "Hey, why did you become ugly?"
Jin Dan: Damn!
At this moment, the magic boat had already avoided the waves and was sailing steadily again.
Shen Xinghai stared blankly at the mountain-like pile of spiritual jade and magic stone powder in the cabin. He was unable to come to his senses for a long time. It was only after a long time that he discovered that there was a person hidden in the pile of powder.
"Junior Sister Wen!"
He hurried forward and wanted to dig Wen Yun out, but Ye Shubai suddenly blocked his way with a wooden sword.
Shen Xinghai was puzzled: "Senior Brother Ye, Junior Sister Wen is in trouble!"
Thanks to Junior Sister Wen being so close to him, Senior Brother Ye is not worried about her at all now. What a match made in heaven!
Ye Shubai didn't even look at him, but just stared at Wen Yun in the pile of powder. After thinking for a moment, he swung his sword and swept away all the powder.
The next moment, he picked up Wen Yun's mustard seed sac and poured out a mountain of magic stones and top-grade spiritual jade from it to cover Wen Yun!
Shen Xinghai was furious, but before he could roll up his sleeves and draw his sword at Ye Shubai, the pile of stones began to consume energy at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, it turned into a pile of waste powder.
What’s even more bizarre is that Wen Yun’s cultivation level began to gradually improve.
At first, it is the Qi Refining Stage, then gradually building the foundation, the Golden Core...
It takes others dozens or even hundreds of years to cultivate to a realm, but for her, it is as easy as eating and drinking, and it is quickly reached in less than half a day.
At this moment, three days have passed in the outside world, and Wen Yun's aura has become more and more powerful.
The 100,000 pieces of spiritual jade that Ye Shubai had obtained from Yu Qinghong had long been used up. What Ye Shubai had taken out now were the spiritual jades that he had dug out in earlier years, and most of the magic stones had also been moved out, with only the largest piece left to be taken out.
The entire magic boat was shrouded in a powerful pressure, and the source of the pressure was Wen Yun!
Ye Shubai brushed away the powder on her body again, lowered his eyes and stared at Wen Yun, silent.
Shen Xinghai was slightly worried: "It's been three days, why hasn't Junior Sister Wen woken up yet?"
"It's almost there." Ye Shubai said calmly.
"If I'm not mistaken, her golden elixir has already condensed into a Nascent Soul."
