Chapter 543: Prequel Extra Eleven
Yingbao took the Exquisite Mirror, and as the mirror emitted a dazzling light, it instantly transported her inside the cave.
She looked around but didn’t find the God Scythe, so she asked the Spirit Sword, “Where is it?”
The magical weapons have a sense of each other, especially those that have developed spiritual intelligence; they ought to communicate with each other.
The Spirit Sword pointed towards a huge rock, “It’s right there.”
Yingbao walked over and placed her hand on the giant rock, sensing with her mind.
Indeed, a faint breath was transmitted, marking the presence of the God Scythe.
Yingbao did not rashly split the giant rock which was larger than a three-story building; instead, she took the whole piece into her Divine Mansion.
After collecting a few more items, she hastily used the Exquisite Mirror to leave Wuji Peak, and then Wuji Sect.
The Wuji Sect was too vast, and the Exquisite Mirror nearly exhausted its spiritual power to get Yingbao out, dimming immediately afterward.
Yingbao found a forest and with the Spirit Sword, dug a hole and quickly hid inside.
She then, holding the Spirit Sword, entered her Divine Mansion and approached the giant rock, striking it with all her might.
The rune on the rock flickered, all were suppressing the God Scythe. Struck by the attack, it emitted the sound of ringing metal, probably as a warning.
But this was Yingbao’s Divine Mansion, no matter how bright the rune or how loud the sound, no one would know.
Yingbao spent ten days and finally split the giant rock, revealing the God Scythe inside.
The God Scythe affectionately nuzzled its master, then suddenly turned and shattered the Spirit Sword.
Yingbao touched the blade and then opened the treasures she had collected from Xiao Mo, finding they were all high-quality Spirit Stones, along with many Elixirs and Magic Weapons.
The little turtle smiled and said, “With these items, you can cultivate up to the Mahayana Realm without any problems.”
Yingbao thought so too, hence from her cave found her original clothes and put them on. Then she cut half of her long hair and styled it in a man’s hairstyle.
Picking up the God Scythe, she said, “I want to go home first to check.”
It took her several years to return to Qinchuan County, only to find it had drastically changed.
The number of high-level cultivators walking on the streets had increased; they all were at least at the Core Formation Realm.
Yingbao concealed her cultivation base to appear at the Core Formation Realm and went to the Treasure Pavilion to buy some items.
As she reached the entrance, she encountered a brightly dressed young man, whose cultivation was probably at the Nascent Soul Realm.
As soon as he saw Yingbao, his gaze glued onto her. “Who are you?” he asked.
Yingbao glanced at him and walked straight into the Treasure Pavilion, asking to buy the best Spirit Boat available.
The items in the Treasure Pavilion had also increased considerably; they even displayed High-level Spirit Boats on the counter.
In the end, Yingbao spent a hundred thousand Spirit Stones to buy a fast Spirit Boat, as well as a portable dimension house.
This portable dimension house contains a world of its own, equipped with defensive arrays and concealment arrays, making it an indispensable travel item and one she had long coveted but couldn’t afford before.
Now that her wish was fulfilled, Yingbao was very happy.
As she left the city and was about to start the Spirit Boat into the forest, suddenly someone came from behind and called out, “You are Yingbao, aren’t you?”
Yingbao slowly turned and quietly observed the newcomer.
The extravagantly dressed young man pretended to be calm, walking towards her while flicking his folding fan, “Don’t you recognize me?”
Yingbao certainly recognized him, but she remained silent.
The young man seemed a bit dejected and abruptly closed his fan, “I am your master, alright?”
Seeing that Yingbao still did not respond, he said again, “Hey! I am Wei Zhan, surely you must remember now.”
Yingbao nodded and asked, “Why are you following me?”
Wei Zhan paused, seemingly not expecting her to ask this; after hesitating for a moment, he said, “You are going to the Jiang Family Village, right? I happen to be going there too; we can go together.”
Yingbao thought for a moment, then finally nodded, “Alright.”
Thus, the two of them boarded the Spirit Boat and slowly flew towards the Jiang Family Village.
Wei Zhan kept looking at her, talking about the Jiang Family Village, “That land has been bought by my family. We also set up arrays; apart from the local people, no one from outside can enter.”
Yingbao regarded him, “Why do this?”
Wei Zhan scratched his head and spoke softly, “In these hundred years, the beast tide has been very fierce. If we don’t protect them, these mortals will hardly survive, so I set up the arrays to keep them completely safe.”
In reality, he was worried that if there were no mortals left in this place, Yingbao and her family would never return.
Yingbao gazed downward silently.
When the Spirit Boat reached the airspace above the Jiang Family Village, it was indeed protected by powerful arrays. Many people lived in the village, but none of her parents or other relatives were there.
Unable to determine if the inhabitants were descendants of the Jiang Family Village, she thought of visiting the small secret realm.
“We’ve arrived at the Jiang Family Village; you can get off now,” Yingbao said unceremoniously to Wei Zhan. “Also, I escaped from the Wuji Sect for your family’s safety, it’s best not to reveal any information about me to others.”
