Chapter 291 Encounter with the Jade Cauldron Immortal Sect
The wooden boat continued its journey through the Blood Forest Swamp.
Di Yichan's face was flushed beneath her veil, and her beautiful eyes showed a hint of embarrassment as she said, "Qin Peng, don't get the wrong idea. Your senior brother's Blood Blade with its spiritual treasure is a counter to the Blood Vine Tree. This is our good fortune. I'm just a little excited."
She was trying to justify herself.
She was so excited just now that she forgot her eldest disciple was here too... It's all her fault for getting too excited when she saw the blood artifact.
Qin Peng swallowed hard, his large eyes already glistening with tears.
Master! You mustn't follow in your junior sisters' footsteps!!
Di Yichan guessed what was going on from the other person's expression and explained, "Don't overthink it, your teacher isn't that kind of person!"
"Yes... Master!"
Qin Peng nodded emphatically, and with his master's affirmation, his grief subsided somewhat.
Perhaps Master was just too excited to see the blood-infused magical artifact!
He glanced at Xu Xiao, whose black hair was swaying lightly as he stood at the bow of the ship, looking incredibly handsome.
He blinked his bull-like eyes.
Senior Brother, you'd better behave yourself!
Other people's masters don't have any feelings for you!
Qin Peng steered his boat through the vast Blood Forest Swamp.
On the way, we encountered several hybrid blood vine trees that were deliberately causing trouble.
Xu Xiao told the two to wait, then took out his Blood Blade and began slashing wildly, drawing blood until the blade gleamed and its power greatly increased.
"Divine Punishment Thunder!"
"You insignificant tree spirit! How dare you block my path! You're courting death!"
Not far ahead, an old man in a yellow robe conjured divine thunder, which he then unleashed upon several blood vine tree demons below.
Bloodvine vines and limbs flew everywhere, the entire trunk was blackened by electricity, and it howled incessantly.
“Master is mighty!”
Two inner disciples of the Sky Giant Sword bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with admiration.
The old man landed on the giant sword and laughed heartily, "Cultivate diligently, and one day you will all be like your master."
After he finished speaking, he scanned the wooden boat flying in from a distance with his divine sense.
"Oh? First Elder, you've come too??"
As the wooden boat flew closer, First Chan smiled and said, "Elder Muxu, I'd also like to try my luck."
Mu Xu's old face twitched, and he nodded, saying, "The First Elder has cultivated for many years and indeed needs a suitable spiritual treasure."
"However, this old Taoist priest sees that the Blood Forest Swamp is extremely dangerous. First Elder, you must be extremely careful!"
"I won't say any more. I'm leaving now. First Elder, if you are worried, you can follow my path."
The giant sword flashed with lightning, and Mushu and his two companions flew far away.
First, Chan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of gratitude.
The competition for spiritual treasures depends on fate, and even fellow disciples will eventually compete.
Elder Mushu had already done more than enough by letting them fly along the path he had already cleared.
The Blood Forest Swamp is a vast mini-world.
Following the shortcut sensed by the First Chan Array, the wooden boat crossed a deep swamp full of blood vines, allowing Xu Xiao's Blood Blade to absorb a significant amount of blood energy.
With Xu Xiao's Blood Blade Spiritual Treasure, they didn't need to take detours; they could just cut down any blood vine trees they encountered.
"The First Chan?!"
"You actually dare to come to this Blood Forest Swamp? Are you planning to fight to the death?"
A jade-white sedan chair flew in from the distance, carrying a middle-aged man dressed in a white robe.
Beside the sedan chair, four disciples in white robes stood guard, blocking the wooden boat's path.
The wooden boat stopped, and Di Yichan glanced at the refined middle-aged man in front of her, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly as she said, "Elder Fang, please step aside quickly and do not waste my time."
Her beautiful eyes seemed to show disdain; she didn't want to say another word to the middle-aged man in white.
"hehe!"
"First Elder! Why the cold face? Our two sects are of one mind. This Blood Forest Swamp is dangerous. Why don't we go together? With me here, I can protect the elder's safety in critical moments!"
The refined middle-aged man in white robes, his eyes gleaming, looked at the First Lady's graceful and perfect body from head to toe.
Finally, seeing the other person's face veiled in black, my heart ached as if clawed by a cat.
"No need! Elder Fang, are you going to move aside or not?!" First Chan was a little angry.
"Since the First Elder has spoken, how dare I, Fang, object? Elder, please!"
The middle-aged man in white robes smiled slightly and moved his jade seat to make way for the passage ahead.
Qin Peng quickly steered the wooden boat away. Ugh, he'd run into that narcissist again!
As the wooden boat departed, the middle-aged man in white robes gradually lost his smile, his sinister eyes now filled with a fiery intensity.
"Master, why don't you take down the First Elder and force her to remove her veil?"
One of the disciples asked in bewilderment, "This Blood Forest Swamp is cut off from the outside world, which is the perfect opportunity for us to strike!"
The refined middle-aged man chuckled and said, "We are not connected to the outside world, but there are still many elders of the Wuwang Immortal Sect in this Blood Forest Swamp, so we can't go too far."
The disciple said, "Master, this First Chan is too ungrateful. She is only at the seventh level of the Integration Realm, yet she dares to refuse you repeatedly."
"Master, you don't need to be so polite to her! There might be an ugly monster under that veil!"
The refined middle-aged man scoffed, "What do you know? Do you even have a Daoist partner? You dare to lecture your master? Slap yourself!"
"Just look at her figure and demeanor! Her waist is so soft you could pinch water out of it! Is she an ugly duckling? Give me ten more slaps!"
The disciple, overcome with grief, began to whip himself.
"Master... once we leave this Blood Forest Swamp, there will be even less chance..."
"Do you need to tell me? Don't worry, I have my own plans... Hehe."
A slight smirk appeared on the refined middle-aged man's face.
Somewhere far away in the swamp.
An elderly man in white robes stood on a flying sword and placed a communication talisman down.
The old man had black hair and looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He was Sima Changchun, an inner elder of the Jade Cauldron Immortal Sect, and a cultivator at the ninth level of the Integration Realm.
He frowned and muttered to himself, "This Fang Dafei... instead of fighting for the spiritual treasure, he still has the mind to do this?!"
"Thirty top-grade spirit stones...that's really generous! Oh well, I'll just consider it a little extra income."
"A woman who's always wearing a mask, I wonder what Elder Fang sees in her? Isn't he afraid she's an ugly monster?!"
Fang Dafei had seven or eight Daoist partners in the Jade Cauldron Immortal Sect, all of whom were beautiful. Sima Changchun couldn't understand why the other party always coveted the First Lady Chan.
Could it be that he has a special fondness for female cultivators who wear veils and possess such high spiritual attainment?
The legendary sense of mystery?
Desire to conquer?
Without much thought, he flew towards the location Fang Dafei had given him. Thirty top-grade spirit stones were no small sum, but it was a piece of cake.
The wooden boat moved forward at a slow pace through the swamp.
On the deck, Xu Xiao asked, "Master, who is that Elder Fang? You two seem to know each other quite well."
Di Yichan frowned slightly, her eyes showing disdain, and said, "I'm not familiar with the inner sect elder of the Jade Cauldron Immortal Sect. I'm not familiar with him at all."
Qin Peng turned his head and said with a slight sigh, "Senior Brother, Elder Fang from the Jade Cauldron Immortal Sect is our Master's suitor... the kind who's relentlessly pursuing him."
"Ever since I met my master hundreds of years ago, that bastard Fang Dafei has been visiting my Wuwang Immortal Sect every now and then, using various pretexts to see my master."
"I understand him. He's just after our master's beauty and wants to see her true face!"
"Oh..." Xu Xiao nodded, stroking his chin. "Wait a minute, Master, don't you always wear a veil? How did Fang Dafei know that Master is beautiful? And Master, didn't you say that you are ugly?"
First Chan blinked her beautiful eyes, slightly embarrassed, unsure how to answer.
Qin Peng looked at Xu Xiao with utter despair.
Senior Brother!
I should be asking you that question!
What exactly do you people want from our master?!
Even he, the eldest disciple who was the first to join the sect, had never seen his master's face!
What if he really is ugly?!
I just can't figure it out!!
