The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 918 - 503: News from an Old Friend

Like a ghost? Ning Xiaoxian recalled Jin Manyan, indeed her appearance was good, her skin fair, but tonight wearing a pure white Ruan robe, she seemed like a little ghost with a white face and red lips, beautiful but eerie under the slightly chilly moonlight. If her hair were straightened, she’d be a miniature version of Sadako.

Huangfu Ming’s description, though irreverent, was remarkably vivid. She couldn’t hold back and bent over, laughing to the point of losing her breath.

Huangfu Ming heard her laughter as clear and crisp as a silver bell, glanced at her a few more times, saw her features were delicate and lovely, indeed very young, lacking the mature aura of elder women in the sect, thinking to himself her age might indeed be young? He then noticed the faint fragrance from her body, a scent of a mature woman, very pleasant, subconsciously swallowing, then he slightly tightened his grip on her arm, and continued: "My senior brother said that women are the most troublesome in the world; it’s best not to get involved with them!"

"Your senior brother? Even your reputedly handsome senior brother can say such things, and you plan to introduce him to me?"

His face flushed instantly: "Well... it’s not just reputed, Senior Brother Quan is indeed the most handsome gentleman in our Chaoyun Sect. Which lady wouldn’t like him?" But that’s only for now. When he grows older, he might also qualify to compete for the title of best-looking man.

Ning Xiaoxian suddenly glanced at him, her smile faded slightly: "Senior Brother Quan, Chaoyun Sect? You’re talking about Quan Shifang?" No wonder his movement technique seemed familiar; turned out he’s from the Chaoyun Sect.

Huangfu Ming’s heart skipped a beat: "You know Senior Brother Quan?"

She vaguely replied: "You could say that. I haven’t seen him for a long time, how is he doing lately?"

"The Sect Leader is simply mad, sent him to train in one of the six deadly domains, the Heavenly Thunder Prison! Though only at the outer area, it’s not something ordinary cultivators can endure." Huangfu Ming finished, watching her expression, and sure enough saw a flicker of shock on her face: "Heavenly Thunder Prison? Even if he practices the Thunder Sword Technique, he can’t withstand it, right?"

She indeed knows Senior Brother Quan, and even knows he practices the Thunder Sword Technique. "Senior Brother Quan’s realm advancement is really fast, he’s already at the Mid-stage God Transformation. The Sect Leader says that cultivating in the Heavenly Thunder Prison is greatly beneficial for him." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Mid-stage God Transformation?" she murmured. The realm advancement of human cultivators is indeed much faster than the slow cultivation of demons, because their lifespan isn’t as long as demon species, but Quan Shifang’s speed is too fast. Not seen in two years, he’s been skyrocketing like sitting on a rocket, probably Bai Qing has used some Secret Technique to trigger his potential. After all, Bai Qing is about to Crossing Tribulation, how could he rest easy with this Closed-door Disciple?

Not to mention Bai Qing’s character, he’s truly caring for Quan Shifang like a teacher and father, genuinely nurturing and supporting him.

Huangfu Ming saw her pondering without speaking, suddenly feeling very dull, so he also fell silent.

Another half an hour passed like this, they finally flew to their destination. It was a large stretch of cliff, the entire rock face smooth as if cut by knife, chiseled by axe, indescribably majestic and grand. Ning Xiaoxian controlled her sword and halted here, looked around then flew down to the bottom of one of the cliffs. She’s always been casual in her movements, nearly descended vertically this time, without considering the other passenger’s feelings. To her surprise, Huangfu Ming was highly adaptable, just held her arm tightly without uttering a sound, heart pounding rapidly, unsure if it was due to fear or the warmth of the lady’s soft arm.

Her arm is really slim, slimmer than his. He thought.

"Here we are." She set him down on the ground. The young boy quickly released her hand, straightened his back, adjusted his clothes: "Where is this?"

"Ghost Cry Cliff. When the wind blows through the cliffs, it sounds like ghosts crying." She lowered her long sleeves, "Hold onto my sleeve, the path inside isn’t easy to walk." She’s unaccustomed to being too close to the opposite sex, even though the little ghost in front of her appeared only ten years old, she instinctively avoided physical contact.

In front was a pitch-black cavern, the entrance over thirty yards high, like an open mouth waiting for prey to walk in. On such a ghostly windy night, coming here made Huangfu Ming shiver involuntarily, then he felt a magnificent warmth pouring from above, this power grand and dignified, instantly dispelled the cold in his body and fear in his heart without a trace. It turned out Ning Xiaoxian thought he was cold, gently touched the top of his head, transmitting Divine Power into him.

After this, she withdrew her palm, warmth immediately faded. Huangfu Ming heard her say lightly: "Let’s go." Strangely, although his identity sensitive and usually very cautious with strangers, rarely interacting with outsiders even within the Chaoyun Sect. Yet, after meeting Ning Xiaoxian only for the second time, he felt an inexplicable closeness, believing she wouldn’t harm him, and followed her to such a dangerous place.

Though the cave was large, it wasn’t deep, they reached the bottom after walking ten breaths. Ning Xiaoxian held up glow grass, illuminating the surroundings like daylight, Huangfu Ming noted it was actually quite clean all around, not a single insect or beast in sight. At the end of the cave was a small pool, where water droplets from stalactites above dripped down, plopping into the pool.

"The Bliss Flower you’re looking for is right in here."

He looked as instructed, indeed in the center of the pool were two tender black buds, each only the size of Copper Coin, extremely inconspicuous in the dark environment, whereas the pool’s liquid seemed weird, astonishingly light blue, reflecting a faint glow.
