Chapter 1137 - 1134: Illusion Pearl
Feng Lingshan said, "Kid, let me tell you, Yin Yang Jade consists of one yin and one yang. The Yang Jade represents Pure Yang, and the Yin Jade represents Pure Yin. The Illusion Yin Flower is an extremely yin object, which gets neutralized by the pure yang power of the Yang Jade, allowing you to escape the cold yin energy."
Lin Chuan said blankly, "Elder Feng, so does the mysterious power of the Yin Yang Jade mean this?"
Feng Lingshan said, "The legend says the power of the Yin Yang Jade is very strong. I think this is just one aspect of it. I'm not very clear about the specifics, but you, kid, have acquired the Heavenly Heart Skill Sealing Heart Skill, the Yin Yang Double Jade, and even got the Illusion Yin Flower. Let me tell you, remember this: 'With great power comes great responsibility.'"
Several people had said this to Lin Chuan before. He paused slightly and nodded, saying, "Elder Feng, to be honest, I also acquired another treasure."
Feng Lingshan looked astonished and said, "Kid, what other treasure did you get?"
Lin Chuan laughed, "Illusion Pearl."
"Illusion Pearl? Are you talking about the Quan Dao Sect's token, the Illusion Pearl?" Feng Lingshan said, surprised, looking at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan nodded. He hadn't brought the Illusion Pearl and the Heavenly Heart Skill Sealing Heart Skill with him.
Feng Lingshan suddenly bowed to Lin Chuan and said, "The Tai Chi Sect disciple pays respects to the Sect Leader of Quan Dao Sect."
Lin Chuan hurriedly helped Feng Lingshan up and said, "Elder Feng, please don't do this. Since you are a Tai Chi Sect disciple, could you tell me about the Tai Chi Sect?"
Feng Lingshan nodded and said, "Sure, the Tai Chi Sect was founded by Feng Taiji, a disciple of Quan Dao Sect. After hundreds of years of development, it now has many disciples. The current Sect Leader is named Feng Lingfeng."
"Feng Lingfeng, sounds like a woman's name," Lin Chuan said with a smile.
Feng Lingshan said, "Yes, the current Sect Leader is indeed a woman and a very beautiful one at that. She is also my junior sister."
Lin Chuan acknowledged with an "Oh" and did not speak further, but sneered inwardly: Feng Lingshan is over sixty, so Feng Lingfeng must be an old lady too. Talking about beauty, it seems Feng Lingshan's sense of beauty is questionable.
Feng Lingshan continued, "The Tai Chi Sect is divided into the Inner Hall and Outer Hall. The disciples of the Outer Hall are on the periphery, there are many of them, and most are ordinary disciples without cultivation. The Inner Hall has fewer members, but they are all core members of the Tai Chi Sect with high cultivation."
"I heard that a few hundred years ago the Quan Dao Sect suddenly collapsed overnight. Do you know what happened?" Lin Chuan was always curious about this and asked Feng Lingshan.
Feng Lingshan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I heard it might be related to the Yin Yang Jade you are wearing."
Song Xiaojia, who had been listening silently, suddenly said, "Lin Chuan, Master, it's getting late, can we go back up? I'm hungry."
Lin Chuan and Feng Lingshan exchanged glances and laughed, then all three climbed up from the deep ravine, with two Little Snakes following them.
There was still the main stem of the Illusion Yin Flower left, and Feng Lingshan didn't discard it. He told Lin Chuan and Song Xiaojia that the Illusion Yin Flower is a rare flower in the world, and every part of it is valuable.
As for what Feng Lingshan intended to do with the remaining main stem, the two did not ask.
Song Xiaojia had already learned the Qi Manipulation Skill, her body was much lighter and more agile than before. Although there was a big gap compared to Lin Chuan, she could keep pace with ordinary cultivators.
As they emerged from the ravine, the two Little Snakes wrapped themselves around Lin Chuan's shoulders on either side. Fortunately, they were in a remote place, or they would be seen as a monster with two Little Snakes on his shoulders.
It was already past three in the afternoon. Xiao Ling nuzzled Lin Chuan's cheek a few times and then hissed twice before suddenly darting off toward the west, followed by the black Little Snake.
Lin Chuan roughly understood Xiao Ling's intention. The little creature likely discovered something in the mountains, so he said to Feng Lingshan and Song Xiaojia, "Elder Feng, Xiao Jia, you two go back to the village and wait for me."
Before Feng Lingshan and Song Xiaojia could respond, Lin Chuan's body flickered and disappeared instantly.
Lin Chuan's speed was astonishing, leaving Feng Lingshan extremely surprised. It seemed the kid had already broken through the fourth layer of the Heavenly Heart Skill Seal.
The Tai Chi Sect, to which Feng Lingshan belonged, was under the Quan Dao Sect, and its mental method was inherited from the same lineage as the Heavenly Heart Seal. He understood the concept of breaking through the fourth layer.
The Heavenly Heart Seal was divided into two parts, each with nine layers. The first part mainly enhanced human physical abilities and spirit. Although Feng Lingshan had been practicing for decades, he had only reached the second layer of the Heavenly Heart Seal. Even the Tai Chi Sect Leader, Feng Lingfeng, had only reached the fourth layer.
Looking in the direction Lin Chuan disappeared, Song Xiaojia was a bit upset. She twisted her body wanting to follow, but Feng Lingshan held her back, saying, "Girl, I think we should go down the mountain and wait."
Song Xiaojia gritted her teeth, stomped her foot indignantly, and followed Feng Lingshan down the mountain.
Lin Chuan's speed had increased significantly and he soon caught up with the two Little Snakes. They hissed twice and sped up with full force.
Lin Chuan wanted to test how fast he could go, so when he reached the full power of the Heavenly Heart Skill Seal, he moved like a fleeting shadow, and within two minutes, he had left the Little Snakes far behind.
Since Lin Chuan didn't know where the little ones were leading him, he slowed down and waited for the two Little Snakes to catch up.
After about ten minutes, two little snakes finally caught up with Lin Chuan.
The little guys were familiar with Lin Chuan by now and were somewhat reluctant. They flashed and landed on Lin Chuan's shoulder.
The black little snake had only known Lin Chuan for a few hours. Seeing the little guy stay on Lin Chuan's shoulder, it flashed and landed on Lin Chuan's other shoulder.
As Lin Chuan continued forward, he said to the black little snake, "I've given you a name too. From now on, I'll call you Xiao Hei. How about it?"
The black little snake excitedly nodded its head, clearly agreeing to the name Lin Chuan had given it.
"Xiao Ling, where are we going?" Lin Chuan asked, looking at Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling hissed twice, stretching its head forward, indicating that Lin Chuan should go forward.
Double Dragons Mountain may not be very large, but it stretches for hundreds of miles.
Lin Chuan quickened his pace, traveled forward for about half an hour, and Xiao Ling signaled Lin Chuan to stop.
Lin Chuan slowed down and stopped. In front of him was a cliff.
Xiao Ling and Xiao Hei flew off Lin Chuan's shoulders, darting towards the bottom of the cliff.
Lin Chuan hesitated slightly, then followed the two little snakes.
The cliff was steep, with a drop of about forty meters to the ground below. Lin Chuan descended while controlling his body.
Reaching the bottom of the cliff, the two little snakes continued towards the left.
Lin Chuan followed the two little snakes for less than a kilometer when Xiao Ling twisted its body and hissed at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan stopped. On both sides were towering mountain peaks. He looked at Xiao Ling and said, "Xiao Ling, why did you lead me here?"
Xiao Ling twisted in mid-air, flew towards the direction on the right, reached the base of the peaks (which were actually cliffs on both sides), then quickly flew upwards.
Xiao Hei was staying on Lin Chuan's shoulder. Lin Chuan brought it along, grabbed the protruding rocks, and swiftly climbed upwards.
When halfway up the cliff, Xiao Ling paused, and Lin Chuan shortly arrived beside Xiao Ling. At the spot where Xiao Ling stopped, there grew a plant.
This plant had slender leaves and a green-red fruit at the top, about the size of a longan fruit, emitting a faint fragrance.
The fragrance gave a comfortable feeling. Lin Chuan couldn't resist trying to pick the green-red fruit.
Xiao Ling hissed, signaling Lin Chuan not to pick it yet.
Lin Chuan paused, withdrew his hand, and Xiao Ling landed on his shoulder, staring at the green-red fruit. About half an hour passed, and the green-red fruit slowly turned red, releasing a stronger aroma.
Lin Chuan looked at the little guy, feeling anxious; he wondered how long the little guy wanted him to wait.
In the distance, several figures shot over, stopping at the base of the cliff.
There were three of them. Two had bloodless faces and dull eyes while the other looked normal but had a sinister gleam in his eyes.
The seemingly normal guy looked up at Lin Chuan on the cliff and couldn't help shouting, "Kid, the Red Fruit is mine, don't touch it."
When the three figures shot over, Lin Chuan had already noticed them and felt shocked; these three were not ordinary masters, possibly stronger than those at Feng Lingshan.
Hearing the shouts, Lin Chuan was disdainful. Xiao Ling stared at the now-red fruit and hissed.
This was the signal for Lin Chuan to pick the fruit, and without hesitation, Lin Chuan reached for the red fruit. The people below were anxious, moving swiftly towards Lin Chuan.
Though they were fast, Lin Chuan was faster. He had already picked the red fruit from the plant, which suddenly began to wither rapidly.
At this moment, the three figures had approached Lin Chuan on the cliff.
"Boy, hand over the Red Fruit and I'll spare your life," shouted the seemingly normal guy, casting a vicious glare at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan laughed heartily, didn't respond, twisted his body, and took off running towards the top of the cliff.
"Boy, you're asking for death," yelled the guy as Lin Chuan fled, and the three figures rushed after Lin Chuan with attacks.
