Chapter 1571 - Uniting
Liu Wuxie listened in silence as Lady Rong explained everything with earnest care.
"Can anyone enter the Peach Blossom Cave?" Liu Wuxie asked after she finished.
If the Peach Blossom Cave truly matched what Lady Rong described, the treasure in the final cave could be worth a gamble. If he could break through to the seventh-level Earth Immortal Realm, he would be able to seize control of the Heavenly Deity Monument. That meant he could rely on the monument to crush opponents at the pinnacle of the Heaven Gaze Realm, instead of ending up helpless like before.
"Anyone can enter, and it opens in three days," Lady Rong replied. Over the past few days alone, cultivators had been flooding into Peach Blossom Island, all for the Peach Blossom Cave.
"This is for you," Liu Wuxie said, taking out one hundred astral crystals and tossing them to Lady Rong.
"Thank you, Young Master," Lady Rong replied, immediately moving as if she wanted to kneel.
"There's no need for such ceremonies before me," Liu Wuxie said, waving once to stop her.
"Young Master, it's getting late. Let me serve you to rest," Lady Rong said, stepping into the room to lay out fresh bedding. She used a Cleansing Talisman to wash herself, then removed her clothes and slipped beneath the quilt.
Liu Wuxie stayed where he was and never entered the room. He stared up at the night sky, his thoughts drifting to Xu Lingxue and the others as he wondered how they were doing.
Time flowed on, yet Liu Wuxie didn't go inside. Seeing that, a single tear quietly slid down from the corner of Lady Rong's eye.
When dawn arrived, and Liu Wuxie ended his meditation, Lady Rong had already prepared Peach Blossom Cakes for him.
"Young Master, please try the Peach Blossom Cakes that I made myself," Lady Rong said, setting several kinds of peach-blossom pastries before Liu Wuxie. The cakes looked tempting the moment they touched the table.
