Chapter 1855 - 1854: Regaining Strength
Su Yang, after crashing so many times, felt his determination waning.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the valley before him with reluctance, and said solemnly, "But Qi'er is still inside the valley!"
The group exchanged glances, and an eagle sighed, "Su Alliance Leader, Miss Qi'er became trapped in the valley because she wanted to save us. We are very grateful to her and truly wish to rescue her. But the problem is, the masked figure was very clear earlier; our power here is meaningless. We simply cannot tear through the aura to enter, and any further commotion won't save Miss Qi'er. Instead of wasting effort here, we should cultivate to become stronger, so that when we can break the aura, we can go down to save her!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, supporting the eagle's standpoint.
Su Yang, however, was anxious, "How can we do that? With Qi'er in there, isn't it really dangerous?"
"Su Alliance Leader, I think your concern might be excessive!" An elderly man walked up, "The masked person just said that Miss Qi'er made a deal with her, saving us by sending us out, while Miss Qi'er remained inside the valley to work for her. In other words, inside the valley, Miss Qi'er is simply working for her. Since she wants Miss Qi'er to work for her, there should be no danger, at least her life is not at risk."
"Indeed!" Others nodded in agreement, and the eagle added quickly, "Su Alliance Leader, if we can quickly cultivate enough strength to enter the valley, we will be able to rescue Miss Qi'er swiftly. This is not the time for us to engage in futile disputes; we cannot let down Miss Qi'er's sacrifice!"
Su Yang furrowed his brow, pondering for a while, eventually nodding slowly. As the eagle and the elder said, causing a stir here is pointless. Qi'er is in the valley, but at least her life isn't in danger. Therefore, the urgent matter is quickly enhancing our own strength, gaining enough power, only then can we descend to rescue Qi'er!
Taking a deep breath, Su Yang nodded slowly, looking at the valley ahead with determination, and said through gritted teeth, "Qi'er, hang in there, I will come to rescue you!"
Standing up, Su Yang glanced around; they stood at the edge of the valley, which was not where they had originally entered. This meant the masked figure could tear open a gap anywhere in the valley to send them out.
Looking at the people beside him, Su Yang now had about one hundred thirty individuals. These individuals were all Land Immortals, none of them weak in strength.
After all, when the Feather Spirit Palace opened, many competed to enter. Those Land Immortals who could get in were not weaklings.
Not to mention the Three Eagles of Yanbei, whose strength in their time ranked on the celestial list.
The strange thing for Su Yang was that these people, after so many years in the Feather Spirit Palace, showed no improvement in their strength. According to the eagle, their current power was the same as when they first entered the Feather Spirit Palace.
These people had cultivated inside the Feather Spirit Palace, but for them, cultivating there seemingly held no significance.
Little Turtle transformed into the size of a millstone, lying beside Su Yang. Since coming out of the valley, the sealing power had recovered, and its injuries swiftly healed, looking as if it hadn't been hurt, in good condition now.
As for the others, although previously wounded by the Feather Clan descendants, once their power was restored, those injuries mattered little.
These people now looked at Su Yang, undoubtedly regarding him as their mainstay. After all, with him and Qi'er saving them twice now, they felt immense gratitude towards Su Yang.
Moreover, these individuals had been imprisoned inside the Feather Spirit Palace for hundreds, even thousands of years. Emerging now, they found themselves disconnected from the world. Their past families, sects, forces, loved ones, and friends were gone.
In this situation, they really had nowhere else to go. In addition to gratitude and admiration for Su Yang, they now clustered around him to help him.
Su Yang wasn't sure if this was good fortune or bad luck; entering Turquoise Pool, losing Qi'er, Little Chick, and Little Grey Bird in the process. However, he gained a group of powerful masters, now possessing strength to rival the heavens.
Sighing longingly, Su Yang set aside Qi'er's situation for now. As the eagle suggested, only by acquiring sufficient strength could he rescue Qi'er. Hence, his immediate concern was swiftly enhancing his own power, not minding other matters.
Rising to his feet, Su Yang casually patted Little Turtle, extracting some peaches from its shell.
Though everyone's wounds had healed, Su Yang could see their strength hadn't fully recovered. Eating these peaches would quickly help regain their peak fighting prowess.
When Su Yang produced the peaches, he noticed a shocking event.
The peaches emitted radiance in the air, with spiritual light flowing over them and their fragrance exceptionally aromatic, appearing very mystical.
The crowd was astounded by this display, considering these peaches appeared ordinary inside the valley. Yet upon emerging, they transformed dramatically. Could it be that the aura had sealed the peaches' spiritual energy?
"These... these peaches seem unusual..." a man stammered, realizing these peaches were far stronger than any Immortal Herbs they had seen or heard of.
"Gives off an Immortality Medicine vibe..." another elder whispered, "I've heard tales of a miraculous Immortality Medicine, yet compared to these peaches, the medicine pales greatly."
"What... what kind of peaches are these?" a man couldn't help asking, "How could they be so mystical?"
The crowd stared slack-jawed, as Su Yang gazed at the peach in his hand, suddenly realizing and exclaiming, "This... isn't this a Yaochi Peach?"
