Lord of Bones

Chapter 769 Lingxi Valley

"you know me?"

There was a hint of hesitation in Miss Xi's tone.

Her eyes searched the young man's handsome face carefully, as if looking for lost stars in the vast sea of ​​memories.

The young man in blue robe nodded slightly and walked slowly towards the pavilion.

"It was you who saved me?" Miss Xi asked again.

The young man nodded again and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes." Miss Xi nodded slightly, then asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"More than half a month." The young man said as he sat down elegantly beside the stone platform.

He waved his sleeves lightly, and a set of quaint and exquisite tea sets appeared out of thin air on the stone table. The fragrance of tea filled the entire pavilion in an instant.

Xi Muxue sat down in a daze, took the teacup handed to her by the young man, and her fingertips accidentally touched the back of his warm hand.

An inexplicable warmth instantly surged through my body, as if millions of butterflies were dancing in my heart.

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea. The aroma of the tea was rich and the aftertaste was endless, but it could not conceal the waves in her heart.

"You also helped heal my injuries?" Miss Xi asked, her words revealing gratitude.

Hearing this, the young man sighed and said, "For Miss Xi's safety, I have spent a lot of rare materials."

"What compensation do you need?" Xi Muxue asked directly, her eyes determined, as if she would agree without hesitation no matter what the young man asked.

The young man smiled slightly, shook his head, and said: "I don't need anything for the time being, but things are unpredictable, who can predict the future?
"Perhaps one day in the future, I will ask Miss Xi for a favor."

"Okay." Miss Xi nodded solemnly, "I will remember your life-saving grace.

"In the land of Wenhe, there aren't many things I can't take out."

The young man raised a playful smile and said, "Come to think of it, this is the second time I have saved a girl from danger."

“Second time?

"We...really know each other?"

Miss Xi was stunned when she heard this, with confusion in her eyes.

The young man said helplessly: "Miss Xi is the daughter of the master of Lingxi Valley, she is of noble status and has met countless Yuanzhe.

“When we first met, it was sixty or seventy years ago.

"Time flies, it's understandable that Miss Xi doesn't remember me."

"Sixty or seventy years ago..." Miss Xi repeated in a low voice, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp, "You...you are Li Yuan?"

After being reminded by the young man, Xi Muxue's thoughts went back to the scene of their first meeting in the Jinglan Feng family ruins nearly seventy years ago.

"Time flies, am I no longer what I used to be?" The young man in blue robe was Li Yuan.

“No, no, I heard that the three great ancestors of Tianyun Sect, Shuang Yuejin, Shuang Manling and Shuang Poying, had a fierce battle with you outside Lingchi City, and you disappeared without a trace afterwards.

"Everyone thought that you died in that unprecedented battle." Xi Muxue secretly rejoiced in her heart, with a hint of relief in her tone.

If Li Yuan really wanted to harm her, he wouldn't have had to lend a helping hand in the past at the Jinglan Feng clan ruins.

"I was seriously injured and on the verge of death. I wandered on the Wen River for many days before I found this paradise in the vast waters. Only then did I survive until now."

Li Yuan's words were gentle and slightly vicissitudes of life, and his eyes revealed his indifference to the past.

Suddenly, he changed the subject: "Why did Miss Xi appear on the Wen River?"

Xi Muxue sighed and recounted her recent experiences:

“This time, I and five guest elders from Lingxi Valley are ordered to go out.

"We were searching for a rare material deep in the Wen River, and everything was going well.

“However, on the way back, the Imperial Mystic Yuan Boat we were on was suddenly and violently attacked by a group of flying pirates.

“After a tough battle, I managed to escape, but the greedy nature of several guest elders was exposed, and they coveted the treasures on me.

“I fought hard, and although I killed two of them, I was also seriously injured.

“But the remaining three guest officials are still chasing me.

"I fled on the Wen River for a long time before I found a small island to live on."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan said calmly, "It seems that Lingxi Valley has been extremely lenient in selecting guest elders in order to obtain the Heavenly Tribulation Aura needed for the Tribulation Spirit Vine. They don't ask about their origins, but only their strength."

"That's not the case." Xi Muxue shook her head lightly, her hair dancing in the wind, a complex look flashed in her eyes, "The several guest elders who came with me all have clean backgrounds and are very experienced in the valley.

"I never thought that human hearts could be so unpredictable..."

Li Yuan frowned slightly, as if thinking about something, then he flicked his fingers, and a ray of light jumped out from his ring, turning into an exquisite token, which slowly rotated in his palm.

"Can this order really allow the Yuan people to pass through the Lingxi Valley's protective formation unimpeded?" he explored.

Xi Muxue's eyes fell on the token and speculated, "This token should be what you got in Lingchi City.

“It can indeed evade the valley protection formation in a specific area, but its effectiveness is limited.

“This order is only to attract those strong men at the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm to come.

"Could it be that you are also interested in joining Lingxi Valley?"

"That's right." Li Yuan admitted frankly without hiding anything, "You also know that I have offended the Tianyun Sect and I am about to cross the Hebei River to find a place of refuge.

"Lingxi Valley is one of the options in my mind."

Xi Muxue shook her head and said, "Given your current situation, even if you can enter Lingxi Valley with just this order, it is difficult to ensure your safety.

"You saved me from danger twice, and I am grateful to you.

"How about this, I will personally take you into Lingxi Valley.

"Also, I will try to get you a chance to practice under the Jieling Vine."

When these words came out, Li Yuan couldn't help but be shocked.

As Xi Muxue was the daughter of the Valley Master, it was easy for her to bring him into the valley.

But he never expected that he would be given the opportunity to practice under the Jie Ling Vine in the valley.

He had mentioned before that he would ask Xi Muxue for a favor in the future, and this was exactly this matter.

Now, it’s like when you are in trouble and suddenly someone hands you a warm pillow.

"Miss Xi, are you serious?

"Can you really let me practice under the Jieling Vine?"

Li Yuan confirmed, his eyes fixed on Xi Muxue's face, trying to find the answer from her expression.

Xi Muxue smiled gently, her smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and warm, and she said with a hint of sarcasm: "Why, is it that my life, Xi Muxue, is not as good as the opportunity to practice in the Jieling Vine again?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "Miss Xi is the daughter of the master of Lingxi Valley, so her status is naturally extremely noble.

“Li was just a little surprised that the girl would be so generous and helpful.

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, he suddenly asked, "Li has something else I want to ask Miss Xi." Xi Muxue gently waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, "What is it? Just say it."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and spoke slowly: "It is said that Lingxi Valley once gave the girl a magic treasure called Lingxin Mountain Cloud Scroll, which should be the Yuanbao that the girl is using now.

“It is said that the clouds of Lingxin Mountain are closely connected to the formation of Lingxi Valley.

“Once the master who left his blood and essence behind is in danger, it will automatically protect the master, open a space channel, and bring the master back to the sect.

“If the owner is not worried about his life, the spirit of the Yuanbao will not take the initiative to control the spiritual treasure.

“Last time, in the underground palace of the Jinglan Feng Clan Ruins, the space was isolated, and Zuo Feihong used something similar to Yuanhun Powder to deal with you.

“It’s understandable that you were not taken back to Lingxi Valley by the clouds of Lingxin Mountain.

"But this time, why were you forced into such a mess by a few guest elders?"

Xi Muxue's eyes dimmed slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "I did use the Lingxin Mountain Cloud Scroll.

“However, this spiritual treasure is the same as the Feather Flame Fan of Emperor Yin Lei that you obtained. It does not have the spirit of Yuanbao, but outsiders do not know it.

“Therefore, this treasure cannot automatically protect its master and bring me back to the sect now.

“Moreover, even if it has the spirit of Yuanbao, with my current cultivation level, I can’t make it recognize its master by dripping blood.

"What's more, my physical strength cannot support such a long-distance and fast space transmission."

After hearing this, Li Yuan suddenly understood.

"Now that there is no Yuanzhou, it will probably take some effort to return to the shore." Xi Muxue suddenly realized that this place was still more than a million miles away from the south bank, not to mention the north bank. She couldn't help but sigh softly and said with melancholy.

Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Xi, don't worry.

“The place we are in now is actually a simple Yuanzhou owned by Li.

“Although it is not as powerful as the Imperial Profound Yuanzhou, it is more than enough to carry us across the river safely and reach the north bank.”

"I never thought that Brother Li has such a treasure." Xi Muxue's eyes lit up, and her surprise was beyond words.

Once they reach the north bank, they can pass through any city with a teleportation array, and then use the teleportation arrays between the cities to quickly reach Lingxi Valley.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Has Brother Li recovered from his injuries?
"When can we set off?"

Li Yuan smiled faintly and said confidently: "The injury is almost healed, and we can set off now."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, as if an invisible force was surging.

Instantly, the whole earth seemed to be shaking, but in fact, Li Yuanrang's Huang Xuanyuan Boat was separating from the island.

The Huang Xuanyuan Boat slowly rose up, and the protective formation covering the island completely became ineffective and had lost its meaning of existence.

The Huang Xuanyuan Boat was like a magnificent golden palace, suspended in the sky, emitting dazzling light and moving slowly towards the north.

The surrounding sea of ​​clouds kept changing as the Yuanzhou moved, like a flowing painting.

.........

More than a month passed slowly.

Where the river surface meets the sky, a vague boundary gradually emerges, and the outline of the river bank appears looming in the dim light.

Li Yuan and Xi Muxue stood side by side on the majestic Huang Xuanyuan Boat, and an unconcealable joy appeared on their faces at the same time.

Li Yuan looked at the sky from afar and said softly, "Miss Xi, the river bank is near.

"To avoid unnecessary disturbances, I will pack up the Yuanzhou and we will head to the shore on our own."

Xi Muxue nodded slightly, her face was beautiful and elegant, with a sense of indifference between her brows.

"A few days ago, I sent a message to my fellow disciples in the nearby Lingxi Valley, and they will come to pick us up."

After saying that, the two of them stretched out their bodies, like a pair of cranes flying in the sky, and the huge Yuan Zhou turned into a brilliant golden light and disappeared into the Yun Ring on Li Yuan's finger.

A moment later, a team of Yuanzhe came galloping from the shore. There were seven of them, four men and three women, all in good shape.

The leader was an old man with a haggard face and a scorched yellow complexion, but his eyes were sparkling with brilliance, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm.

The other six were all experts at the peak of the late Soul Realm, with energy fluctuating throughout their bodies and an extraordinary aura.

"Meet the Young Valley Master!"

The six men and women in the late Yuanshen realm recognized Xi Muxue at a glance, paused, and then bowed respectfully.

The old man with a haggard face and scorched skin showed surprise in his eyes and asked anxiously: "Young Valley Master.

"A month ago, the soul jade tokens of the five guest elders who were traveling with you suddenly shattered. Later, we learned that the Imperial Yuan Boat you were on was attacked by pirates. We were extremely worried.

"Who is this young man?"

After saying a few simple words of concern, the old man looked back and forth at Li Yuan with an eagle-like gaze, with a bit of suspicion, as if he wanted to see through the latter.

Xi Muxue looked calm and said, "I was unfortunately chased by those guest elders on the way, but luckily this young master came to my rescue.

"He had some things that needed to be dealt with in Lingxi Valley, so I brought him back with me."

She did not reveal Li Yuan's name directly, so as to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings in a place hundreds of millions of miles away from the center of the valley.

"You are the young valley master's savior. I am so disrespectful." The old man bowed slightly, and then asked with concern, "Young valley master, are you injured?"

Xi Muxue responded: "Under this young master's careful treatment, my injuries have basically healed."

She glanced around, frowned slightly, and continued, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's go back to Lingxi Valley first."

"Okay, we will escort the young valley master and this young master to the teleportation square." The old man responded respectfully.

"Let's go." Xi Muxue nodded, stretched out her body, and flew towards the magnificent city on the shore like a fairy.

Li Yuan and others also turned into long rainbows and followed closely behind.

.........

The rolling mountains with overlapping peaks are majestic.

Between the mountain tops, clouds and mist are lingering like a dream, sometimes showing their majestic beauty and sometimes disappearing without a trace.

Amid the vast mountain range, a magnificent canyon winds its way through the mountains like a sleeping dragon.

Its length stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles and its width is thousands of miles.

This is Lingxi Valley, the most famous of the seven sects in Wenhe.

In Lingxi Valley, ancient trees are towering and green, like a green ribbon.

Rare and huge trees are scattered around in an orderly manner. The thousand-year-old purple sandalwood and silver moon apricot stand tall, with trunks as thick as dragons and branches and leaves as lush as umbrellas.

This fairyland is continuously supplied with rich energy of heaven and earth and vigorous vitality.

Earth spirits roam freely in this paradise, some are docile and leisurely, while others are smart and cunning.

There is also the legendary Lingxi Yunlu, with a faint light flickering on its corners like stars, adding a bit of mystery and peace to this world.

The existence of this beast is the origin of the name Lingxi Valley.
