Chapter 12 The only hope
"But there is a place I haven't been to. Maybe I can get out there, but flying is prohibited there. Without the cultivation of a spiritual general, I can't get through."
"For some reason, I may be destined to never reach the level of a spiritual general in this lifetime, so..."
Having said that, Jun Yijue pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes hid the lost look that flashed across his eyes.
His voice was a little hoarse, as if he was trying hard to suppress some emotion.
"Master..." Ah Hu couldn't help but feel distressed when he noticed his master's depressed mood.
Jun Yijue ignored Ah Hu and continued, "So, if you want to get out, you can go west. There is a big lake there, and there is a small island in the middle of the lake. There is a palace on the island. Maybe you can get out there."
His tone was filled with uncertainty, but more of hope.
For him, that palace might be the only hope.
Su Chenyin opened her Void-piercing Eyes and keenly caught the hint of gloom in Jun Yijue's eyes.
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what made him so sure that he could not cultivate to the level of a spiritual general?
She didn't ask much, everyone has their own secrets.
Su Chenyin pursed her lips, with a hint of doubt between her brows. She stared at Jun Yijue with her deep purple phoenix eyes.
She seemed to be carefully discerning the truthfulness of his words.
Jun Yijue felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him like that. He also knew that Su Chenyin would not believe him so easily.
But he didn't lie to her.
So he had to explain: "I have never been to that place, and I have no idea whether there is an exit from that palace."
There was sincerity in his tone.
Su Chenyin's heart moved, and she thanked him without hesitation, "Thank you for telling me this clue, I will look for it."
She smiled at Jun Yijue, with sincere gratitude in her eyes.
Hearing this, Jun Yijue nodded.
"You're welcome. I'll be leaving first." Jun Yijue said, sitting on Ah Hu's back and preparing to leave.
Before leaving, Jun Yijue did not forget to give advice: "If you want to gain experience, I suggest you go outside. There are many spiritual beasts with high cultivation levels nearby."
His voice, though calm, was filled with deep concern.
Su Chenyin looked at Jun Yijue's departing back, her heart full of thoughts.
She stroked her chin, her eyes flickering slightly. Since that place was the only clue at the moment, she might as well go there.
Who knows, if you're lucky, you might actually find the exit on that island on the lake.
After making up his mind, Su Chenyin took a deep breath towards the direction where Jun Yijue left.
She decided to give it a try, but not right now.
Since I have decided to go to the big lake in the west, I have to make preparations in advance.
"Master, are we really going west?"
Zi Meng, who was in the space, naturally heard the conversation between her master and Jun Yijue, and couldn't help but question.
Su Chenyin's eyes flickered slightly when she heard this, her red lips slightly raised, and she shook her head and said, "No need for now, I feel that the spiritual beasts in the west are of a very high level, and that side gives me a very dangerous feeling."
"We can only slowly improve our cultivation level before deciding to head west."
Su Chenyin has always believed in her sixth sense, and the west gives her a very dangerous feeling.
Now, I am alone and heading west will be full of dangers.
She decided to improve her cultivation first before considering going west.
But which way to go is indeed a problem.
Su Chenyin glanced around and said thoughtfully, "Hey, it's getting dark soon. Let's go in the direction we were planning to go just now, which is the direction that handsome guy went."
As he spoke, Su Chenyin walked towards the direction Jun Yijue was going.
……
The sun slowly sets in the west, and the afterglow is like flowing gold, dyeing the sky a brilliant red.
In this gorgeous light and shadow, a girl in red strolls in the woods, as if she has walked into a painting of sunset.
The afterglow fell gently on her, making her look dreamy, like a fairy in a painting, so beautiful that it was touching.
Su Chenyin paced slowly in the forest, and every step seemed calm and light.
Her figure walked through the lush green woods, as if she had merged with nature.
Wherever she went, all kinds of magical herbs and medicines were uprooted and thrown into her space.
In the space, Zi Meng stood aside and looked at the mountains of spiritual herbs and medicines in front of her, her little face full of helplessness and fatigue.
She shook her head slightly and sighed: "There are so many, how long will it take to plant them all?"
Zi Meng complained and started to plant these magical herbs with a bitter face.
Just as Zi Meng was working hard, Su Chenyin quickly walked to a small grass emitting purple light.
Her eyes lit up, the corners of her lips curled up, and she said in surprise: "Purple Glaze Grass!"
This is a rare purple glass grass that is hard to come by.
Su Chenyin carefully observed the purple glass grass. The purple leaves were absorbing spiritual energy at will. They looked even more dazzling in the afterglow, and exuded a strong medicinal fragrance, which was particularly tempting.
She gently touched the leaves of the purple glass grass and could clearly feel its life force.
Afterwards, Su Chenyin carefully pulled it out by the roots and dug it out.
Then, she flashed into the space of the Hongmeng bracelet, planted the purple glass grass in her own medicine field, and finally watered it with spiritual spring water.
I didn't expect there was purple glass grass here. It is an excellent material for making poisons and has powerful detoxification effects.
Su Chenyin was secretly happy in her heart. To her, this purple glass grass was a priceless treasure.
After planting the purple glass grass, Su Chenyin flashed out of the space.
.........
"Master, why don't you let that woman take you out?" Ah Hu's eyes were full of confusion.
Jun Yijue, who was sitting on Ah Hu, was silent for a moment after hearing this. He then explained earnestly:
"Ah Hu, what did I teach you? We have nothing to do with her, so you can't ask people or animals to help you at will."
"And if she takes us with her, we will only become a burden to her. The lake over there is full of unknowns."
Jun Yijue emphasized his tone and looked at Ah Hu with a firm gaze.
He knew that if he wanted to cross the lake, he could only rely on himself and Ah Hu, and he could not let others be involved in this unknown risk.
"But, master, maybe your health can be cured if you go out?" Ah Hu said with a little hesitation.
"My body, I know it myself."
There was a hint of sadness and loss in Jun Yijue's tone.
He knew that he was destined to never reach the level of a spiritual general. This was his fate and he could only accept it.
Ah Hu widened his eyes and seemed to want to say something else, but he swallowed it back in the end.
“……” Ah Hu sighed helplessly and said nothing.
It has a soul contract with its master and can clearly sense that its master does not have much time left.
If only Xiaoqing could wake up now, maybe she could take her master across the lake, go to the island and enter the palace to see if there is really a way out there.
I don’t know when Xiaoqing will upgrade and wake up in her master’s little world.
Ah Hu prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Xiaoqing could wake up soon and help his master overcome this difficulty.
