C69 Spirit Stones

Qing Bai and Liu Dahai had been at Falling Cloud Peak for half a month.

Falling Cloud Peak was famous for its scattered mountains and pure Qi of Heaven and Earth. In half a month, Qing Bai had explored all the mountains of Falling Cloud Peak, and every mountain he walked past had left behind a strong and unique smell under the biggest tree.

Qing Bai had finally fulfilled his first dream of coming to this strange world: to occupy a large amount of land and be king. Every day, other than not having a beautiful woman to accompany him, he lived a carefree life.

However, they were here to meet the delicate and pretty girl after all. After waiting for a few days, they still did not see her. Qing Bai wanted to ask Liu Dahai, but he did not expect Liu Dahai's Spiritual Force to suddenly erupt. He only woke up for two hours a day, so Qing Bai had no choice but to stay in an inconspicuous inn at the foot of the mountain to help him treat his injuries.

Liu Dahai was the key figure who suppressed Ting Ao later on. Qing Bai believed that no matter what, he would definitely get better at the important turning point of the plot, but he couldn't estimate when that would be.

Liu Dahai did not wake up for long. He told Qing Bai not to go too far away from him while he was unconscious, and he also insisted on not returning to the White Cloud Abbey.

Qing Bai also knew that he could not return now. Ling Lang was definitely still in the White Cloud Abbey right now, and he had left in order to avoid Ling Lang, so how could he go back and throw his life away? Furthermore, if Ting Ao and Liu Dahai really started a war, Qing Bai did not want the White Cloud Abbey to become a battlefield.

Qing Bai had a premonition that if he was caught by Ting Ao now, his outcome would be very, very miserable.

So the only thing Qing Bai could do was to raise Liu Dahai to be fair, fat and healthy. Only then would he be able to protect himself when they really fought.

The strange thing was that when they first checked in, the customers in the shop were sparse and cold. When Qing Bai and the middle-aged man checked in, the place suddenly became lively and bustling with activity.

"Is there something big?" Qing Bai asked the waiter.

Seeing that he didn't look like a bad person, the waiter said: "There's a wind in Falling Cloud Peak. A group of demons and ghosts came and said that they were looking for some Spirit Stone."

"Spirit Stone?" Qing Bai frowned. The reason why the delicate and pretty letter asked Liu Dahai to come to Falling Cloud Peak did not explain itself. Could it be related to this Spirit Stone? And the ghost that was blown over by the wind, what exactly was it?

Should he go and take a look... Qing Bai grabbed the wet towel that was used to wipe Liu Dahai and shook his head. No, he couldn't go. It was too dangerous outside.

At night.

Qing Bai was woken up by Liu Dahai beside him.

The bed in the inn was not big, and the two adult men were just right. Usually, Liu Dahai did not wake up much, and even if he did wake up, his entire body would be stiff and unable to move. But tonight, he was trembling and twitching, as if he was in unbearable pain.

"What should we do? Otherwise... If we go back to the White Cloud Abbey to find the Sect Master, he must have a way..."

"Martial Uncle Qing..." Liu Dahai's hand trembled as he grabbed onto Qing Bai's hand and forced himself to speak, "Martial Uncle Qing, it's fine, it's just that we are about to fuse. This is the will of heaven..."

Qing Bai did not understand, and hurriedly held his hand: "What fusion? What destiny? Tell me clearly."

"Martial Uncle, don't be afraid. I won't harm you. I brought you here to break this terrible fate. If I fuse with him, you..."

Qing Bai felt that Liu Dahai was talking about something amazing, but his mind was a mess. Who could Liu Dahai merge with? Why did it have to do with him?

Liu Dahai continued: "Martial Uncle, go to the mountain and search for that Spirit Stone. You must find it. If you find it, come back quickly."

"But you..."

"Hurry up," Liu Dahai's hands and feet were twitching, but he still chased Qing Bai away: "Hurry up and go! Don't let him get there first!"

Who was he? Who was he?

Qing Bai suddenly felt weak and dizzy. Thinking about it, he had never done anything well before. If he was really half an Immortal Emperor, why would he be so afraid of Ting Ao? Why would he leave the Gong's in a hurry to come here? How could he not know the importance of this Spirit Stone? How could he place the heavy responsibility of saving the seven realms on Liu Dahai?

Qing Bai thought that he had pushed aside the fog, but who would have thought that he would be deeply trapped in the illusion? There were thousands of troubles, and he had never been able to figure it out before. When he felt that Liu Dahai was twitching even more violently beside him, Qing Bai immediately put on a long robe from his bed and went out to search for Spirit Stones.

Speaking of which, ever since Qing Bai was stabbed by the Hundred Spirits, he had rarely used his own Spiritual Force. He wondered if any of the people who came looking for this strange Spirit Stone tonight would be familiar with it.

The path of cultivation now was very different from the ancient times. Very few people took the initiative to search for the Spirit Stone in the Spirit Beast's body in order to increase their own strength. Now, focusing on cultivation according to the Multiplication Heart Technique was the path of most people.

Just because there were few did not mean there were none. Many mental cultivation methods were guided by Spirit Stones, and the pills refined by alchemists were inferior to Spirit Stones. Normally, Spirit Stones that could quickly increase one's Spiritual Force would be guarded by a powerful Divine Beast. Therefore, searching for Spirit Stones was usually a team battle. They would definitely set up traps along the path of the Spirit Beasts. Those with low Spiritual Force would lure them into their nets, while those with high Spiritual Force would hunt them down in groups.

Qing Bai followed the smell of the Spirit Beast and searched. Along the way, there were formations and traps, and the number of traps did not change according to the intensity of the aura. It could be seen that no one could find out the true location of the Spirit Beast.

There were a lot of people who came to look for the Spirit Stone. Qing Bai was wearing a gray robe that belonged to Liu Dahai, and the others only thought that he was a headhunter like them. Seeing that he was rushing around, they kindly reminded him, "You just came out to do this job not long ago, right? You didn't even bring a weapon?"

"Guys?" Looking carefully, Qing Bai saw that everyone had a big bag at their waists. Carrying a thin net and a blood talisman, they deliberately chatted: "I am just passing by and heard that there are Spirit Stones that are rarely seen in a thousand years. I am not a professional."

Sure enough, someone replied, "You don't know, right? The Spirit Stones here are very strange. They don't belong to any Spirit Beast, but rather, they are formed from the remnants of the dragon vein. There is only one in this world."

Was it formed by the dragon vein? Qing Bai frowned, and just as he was about to ask, he suddenly felt that the ground beneath his feet was moving. He cupped his hands and said goodbye: "It's really late, I still need to go back to the inn to sleep, I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he immediately followed the direction of the movement below.

"Who is it?"

Qing Bai thought that his movements were already very light. In the pitch black night, he was actually still discovered by the people guarding in front of him.

Qing Bai felt embarrassed and hurriedly appeared: "You, you stay here, I, I'll go somewhere else."

That person turned around and laughed: "It's alright, this isn't my place."

"You..." Although the sky was dark, Qing Bai could still see the figure of the person clearly, as if he had never forgotten it, "Have we met before?"

Qing Bai remembered that he had met that person a long time ago when Ling Yu was still at the inn.

"It seems..." The man was stunned, as if he was thinking back. When he got closer to see it more clearly, Qing Bai had a strange feeling. He felt guilty and sad, and instantly used his Spiritual Force to travel a thousand miles away.

The man did not move, but his hands were clenched so tightly that his veins were showing. His face was full of cruelty and determination as he said, "Why do you want to take everything I want?"
