Chapter 1855 - 1856: An Unexpected Cheng Yaojin Appears
Incredible skill!!
Were it not for being witnessed personally, Ye Xiaoying, Chi Lian and the others wouldn’t dare believe the scene before them was real.
Too outrageous, too magical!
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is practically the most fantastical scene of the century!
A withered leaf can actually glow?!
Everyone’s hearts were racing wildly.
But Ye Xuan immediately halted his movement, glanced down at the light blue glow emanating from the glass bottle, and showed a contented smile: "See this? Amazing, isn’t it?"
Only then did they snap back to reality.
Chi Lian’s expression changed slightly, suddenly exclaiming, "Ye Xuan, the Ice Heart Grass’s remnant leaf is dark again!"
Indeed, the withered leaf in the small glass bottle only glowed for a moment before dimming quickly again, reverting to its normal withered appearance without any activity.
"Why make a fuss? A withered leaf doesn’t need rest," Ye Xuan pouted. "Let’s go, the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus is in this direction ahead of me."
As he spoke, Ye Xuan lifted his foot and strode forward.
The others quickly followed.
What followed was a dull and slow search journey.
A group of five proceeded straight ahead through wind and snow, occasionally encountering winding mountain roads. To ensure they stayed on course, they would navigate over them whenever possible.
Along the way, there were no encounters with any forces, so it was relatively unobstructed.
The withered leaf of the Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb cradled by Ye Xuan would glow intermittently as if indicating the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus’s location remained unchanged.
Still in this direction!
Moreover, as Ye Xuan and others covered more ground, the intervals between the glowing episodes of the Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb became shorter and more frequent.
This made everyone feel a surge of excitement.
Because they knew they were getting closer to the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus!
After traveling tens of miles, spending two hours.
At this moment, Ye Xuan and the others were in the southeast direction of the Snow Mountain, while the Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb in Ye Xuan’s arms continuously emitted a light blue glow, not dimming again, nor even flickering weakly!
Its reaction was very intense.
Intense enough that beyond the blue glow, there was also a faint energy ripple emanating from the small glass bottle.
It was like the last radiance of this withered leaf, making Ye Xuan and the others clearly feel its excitement and agitation.
"Only when we are already within the realm of the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, could the Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb resonate this strongly."
Ye Xuan’s sword brows furrowed, his expression also burning with excitement: "The Sky Mountain Blood Lotus must be within a hundred meters radius!"
Ye Xiaoying said: "So what are we standing here for? Let’s split up and find it now!"
"Searching blindly?" Ye Xuan retorted impatiently. "Besides the fact that the radius of a hundred meters isn’t small, and it’s hard for us five to find, the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus is a unique miracle medicine, with spiritual nature. If you recklessly cause a disturbance, it will surely escape!"
"Then what should we do?" Ye Xiaoying asked anxiously: "Are we supposed to stand here stupidly waiting for the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus to emerge by itself?"
Ye Xuan pursed his lips, also feeling troubled.
He only knew that miracle medicines would resonate with each other, but faced with such a situation, he was indeed confused about what to do.
After all, this was his first time using a miracle medicine to find another miracle medicine.
Yet at this moment.
Ye Xuan suddenly noticed a warm sensation from the small glass bottle in his arms.
Looking down, he found that the remnant leaf of the Ice Heart Herb in the glass bottle had already erupted with dazzling light, and the whole remnant leaf had levitated, persistently hitting the bottle cap, attempting to leap out.
Ye Xuan was astonished by this sight.
The next second, he suddenly understood, quickly opened the bottle cap, allowing the remnant leaf to break free and jump out.
"Follow the Ice Heart Grass remnant leaf!"
Ye Xuan shouted a command, swiftly pursuing the remnant leaf of the Ice Heart Grass as it floated gently in the air.
The others too didn’t dare to fall behind.
The speed of the Ice Heart Grass remnant leaf wasn’t fast, drifting slowly towards the southwest direction, with Ye Xuan and the others following closely, hardly daring to make a sound.
Afraid that even a slight misstep would startle the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus.
After about sixty to seventy meters.
The Ice Heart Grass remnant leaf drifting in the air suddenly halted, emitting a brilliant light.
Snap!
Another crisp sound, the blue light dispersed, and the Ice Heart Grass remnant leaf crumbled into ashes.
"This..."
Seeing this scene, everyone was stupefied.
Suddenly, the big guy Xiong Shan shouted, "Look, there’s light there!"
Everyone raised their eyebrows in surprise, hurriedly looked towards the direction Xiong Shan pointed, and saw that at a distance less than ten meters away, there was a pitch-black pit.
And at this moment, within the pit, a faint red glow was emanating!
"Sky Mountain Blood Lotus!"
Everyone’s hearts accelerated instantly; though they hadn’t seen its face, everyone knew this red glow must be emitted by the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus!
They were about to move forward.
Then at this moment.
"Hahaha, Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, I found you!"
Not far away, a voice of eager ecstasy came, accompanied by the frantic footsteps of a group.
Ye Xuan and the others changed their expressions in panic.
Turning their heads, they saw a group of Westerners covered in blood, looking rugged and brutish, rushing towards them.
About sixteen or seventeen of them.
Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched twice, and his gaze toward those people was as icy as snow.
And that group, having already noticed Ye Xuan and the others, halted their steps as they approached.
Leading them was a middle-aged man wielding a Yanyue Great Saber.
The middle-aged man looked greedily at that pit, then coldly glanced at Ye Xuan and the others, shouting mercilessly: "You little thieves, what are you trying to do? The Sky Mountain Blood Lotus was seen by me first, are you trying to steal what’s mine? Then you’re seeking death!"
Ye Xuan retorted, "You just got here, how could you have seen it first?"
The middle-aged man arrogantly declared, "I said I saw it first, so I saw it first, you want to reason with me? Then die!"
After speaking.
The middle-aged man wasted no time, raising his Yanyue Great Saber, and rushed at Ye Xuan and the others, followed by the dozen people armed and charging aggressively.
In an instant, the killing aura soared!
"You go retrieve the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, I’ll handle them!"
Ye Xiaoying drew his sword again, his figure flickering as he dashed into the crowd.
Naturally, Chi Lian and the others wouldn’t dawdle either.
The scene immediately turned into chaos.
And Ye Xuan decisively headed toward the pit.
With such a commotion, if he waited for these people to fall before retrieving the medicine, the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus would probably have disappeared long ago.
It only took an instant for Ye Xuan to reach the pit.
But, the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus had already vanished without a trace!
