Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

Returning to the inn, Xu Ming began to meditate and observe himself.

These days, Xu Ming had a strange feeling, as if something inside his body was about to break open.

At noon, Xu Ming asked Qin Qingwan about this, and Qin Qingwan happily said, "You are about to break through."

However, Qin Qingwan suggested that Xu Ming not rush to break through.

For cultivators, the Cave Mansion Realm is the first major hurdle. If the first breakthrough fails, the consequences could be as severe as the soul scattering and the body perishing, or as minor as being unable to reach the Cave Mansion Realm for the rest of one's life, with the realm stagnating.

Therefore, Qin Qingwan invited Xu Ming to the Heavenly Mystery Sect, where she would help him break through.

Although Xu Ming did not refuse at the time, he did not accept either.

Xu Ming still didn't want Qingwan to help.

Otherwise, he would always feel like he was living off her.

After mid-afternoon, Xu Ming slowly opened his eyes, his clothes already soaked with sweat.

After taking a bath in the inn's bathhouse, Xu Ming returned to his room and saw the jade pendant Qin Qingwan had given him flashing.

Qin Qingwan: "Xu Ming, they are going to attack the Toad Temple tonight? What do you think?"

Toad Temple?

The image of the golden toad appeared in Xu Ming's mind.

Xu Ming poured spiritual power into the jade pendant and asked, "Why attack the Toad Temple?"

Qin Qingwan: "Because two cultivators from the Heavenly Yin Sect said that place is where the spiritual power of White Dike City converges, and it might be the exit of White Dike City, and there might be a rare treasure!"

“. . . ”

Regarding the speculation of the two Heavenly Yin Sect cultivators, Xu Ming actually felt that it made some sense.

Because according to the laws of heaven and earth, the more powerful the treasure, the more powerful the guardian. The golden toad was the most powerful existence in White Dike City, and it had never left the temple.

So, the rare treasure of White Dike City might really be there.

It's just that Xu Ming didn't think that place was the exit.

Xu Ming: "Are all the human cultivators going?"

Qin Qingwan: "Basically, and not only human cultivators, but also demon cultivators have heard the news and will go."

Xu Ming shook his head with a smile and replied to the message: "It's true that they want to get out, but the main thing is to seize the rare treasure."

Qin Qingwan: "That's right, everyone can see it. White Dike City has become like this because of the influence of that rare treasure. That rare treasure can form its own world, which is beyond everyone's imagination.

We cultivators are inherently fighting against people and against the heavens.

If we can get this rare treasure, it will definitely be a great opportunity."

Qin Qingwan: "What do you think? Are you going tonight?"

Xu Ming: "Are you going tonight?"

Qin Qingwan: "If you go, I'll go."

Xu Ming: "Why?"

"Silly!" In her room, Qin Qingwan muttered to herself, gently poking the jade pendant, as if poking Xu Ming's brow.

Qin Qingwan: "If you go, I will definitely protect you. What if something happens to you?"

Xu Ming smiled: "You seem to be very confident in your strength?"

Qin Qingwan: "Hmph hmph ~ Otherwise? ~ ~ ~ Let me tell you ~ ~ ~ This lady is very strong ~"

Xu Ming: "I definitely won't go, but is it really okay for you not to go? This human alliance is led by your Heavenly Mystery Sect."

Qin Qingwan: "Don't mention that, it makes me angry. I feel that going to fight that golden toad is a very unreliable thing. I feel like I'm going to die, but there's no way. My senior brothers insist on going.

Just like you said, do you think they really just want to get out?

No, they just want the treasure of White Dike City.

And even if the supreme treasure of White Dike City is not there, what about it? The cassock worn by the golden toad and the Zen staff placed next to it are coveted by many people."

"Alright." Xu Ming didn't say anything more, "But I won't go tonight. I'm not interested in that rare treasure."

Xu Ming was telling the truth.

In Xu Ming's view, he already had a cheat, which was the greatest treasure.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Xu Ming was indifferent to the world, but in Xu Ming's view, the risk of going to the Toad Temple to seize the rare treasure was too great.

But if Qingwan went, he had to protect her.

Qin Qingwan: "Then I won't go either, but tonight will definitely not be peaceful. I'll go find you later, just to find the best place to set up the formation."

Xu Ming: "Okay, but you don't need to come over. I'll call Yuwen Xi and the others, and we'll go find you later."

Qin Qingwan: "Okay."

Putting away the jade pendant, Xu Ming left the inn to call Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng.

The three of them and a goose came to the downstairs of Qin Qingwan's inn and saw Qin Qingwan waiting outside the door.

"Let's go."

Seeing Xu Ming coming, Qin Qingwan happily walked forward and stood beside Xu Ming.

Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng subconsciously moved away.

They looked at Xu Ming suspiciously, wondering if Brother Xu and this Fairy Qin seemed to have a better relationship.

"Junior Sister, where are you going?"

Just as Xu Ming and the others were about to leave, Xia Donghua came out of the inn.

Qin Qingwan turned around: "Where I'm going shouldn't have anything to do with Senior Brother, right?"

Xia Donghua frowned slightly: "But Junior Sister, we are going to act together tonight. If we lose Junior Sister, we will lose a major combat force, and if we open the passage to the outside world by then, how will Junior Sister leave?"

Qin Qingwan shook her head: "Senior Brother, I didn't agree with this plan in the first place. That golden toad is definitely not as simple as the Dragon Gate Realm Perfection. Senior Brother and others insisted on going. As for me not being able to leave, that's my own business and has nothing to do with Senior Brother, right?

If I remember correctly, before leaving the Heavenly Mystery Sect, the elders told us that although we are from the same sect, we can act as we please when opinions differ. I shouldn't have misremembered these two sentences, right?"

“. . . ” Xia Donghua was speechless by Qin Qingwan.

"Senior Brother, be careful tonight. I won't join in the fun." Qin Qingwan smiled and didn't wait for Xia Donghua to say anything more, directly pulling Xu Ming away.

"Is it really okay? Won't you be blamed by the sect? If it's because of me, there's no need to do this. I can go to that Toad Temple with you."

After walking away, Xu Ming said to Qin Qingwan.

"It's really okay ~ Don't worry, the sect won't blame me." Qin Qingwan shook her head, "Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's hurry up and find the location for the formation, what if tonight is the Blood Moon?"

"If tonight is the Blood Moon… Huh?"

Yuwen Xi stopped halfway through his words, followed by his trembling voice.

"Brother Xu! Look! The sky!"
