After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 161 Sending a Gust of Wind

As soon as the group entered Cangming Plain, they encountered a small caravan transporting goods. The goods consisted of five animal-drawn carts, and the caravan had ten people in total.

When the two met, they simply sized each other up, neither of them struck up a conversation, and then went their separate ways, though in the same direction.

As the two groups walked one after the other, Liu Feng overheard the caravan's casual conversation—

"It seems there are quite a few cultivators in Cangming Plain lately."

"That's natural. The appearance of the Yi Ling Vine has alarmed many people."

"I wonder if the cultivator who discovered it was lucky or unlucky. If no one was around, he could have quietly taken the treasure and run away. But who knew it would happen in front of everyone... Tsk, I wonder who ended up getting the treasure."

"I heard he just broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, what a pity."

"That's right. But if it weren't for that, other people wouldn't have gone there because of the commotion and happened to see Yi Ling Teng."

The members of the Immortal Sect exchanged glances, their expressions all grave.

The cultivator they were talking about must be Qi Heng!

It turns out that Qi Heng successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in Cangming Plain. Because the spiritual energy vortex caused by the breakthrough was too large, it attracted the attention of the surrounding people who thought that some kind of spiritual object had appeared in the world, so they came to watch. As luck would have it, when they arrived, they saw that he had obtained the Yiling Vine?

When he first broke through, his foundation was unstable and his spiritual energy fluctuated, so he was not suitable for combat. It seems that Qi Heng had inexplicably obtained a treasure as soon as he woke up, and he could only run away from the encirclement, which is why he was in such a precarious situation!

This is a difficult matter to comment on.

Indeed, as the caravan member said, it's impossible to judge whether he was lucky or unlucky.

"How could this be... This is too much of a coincidence, isn't it?" Du Yue's expression was somewhat complicated.

Senior Brother Qi, what incredible luck you have!

"Why didn't he just throw out the Yi Ling Vine to save his life? It's not worth it!" Yi Xingyun said anxiously.

Afraid of being overheard by the people in front, they all lowered their voices and covered their mouths with their hands.

“Exactly, just give it away. Saving your life is the most important thing,” Ji Qingqing sighed.

Chen Lan was about to nod, but then froze. "...Aren't we getting carried away? That's the Yi Ling Vine!"

Everyone paused in surprise.

Yes, that's the Yi Ling Vine!

This kind of treasure that can purify spiritual roots is useful to everyone. Although its effects are unstable and vary from person to person, the worst effect is that it will increase the speed of cultivation.

If things go well, it can change one's spiritual root!

For example, a person with five spiritual roots can become a person with four spiritual roots, and a person with four spiritual roots can become a person with three spiritual roots... It is said that there have even been cases where a person with three spiritual roots became a person with only one spiritual root after consuming the product!

Even if given to an extremely outstanding mutated single spiritual root, it can make the spiritual root attribute purer, and may even turn it into a pure spiritual root!

It is said that after becoming a pure spiritual root, one no longer needs to actively meditate and cultivate. Whether eating, drinking, or sleeping, one is constantly cultivating. It will become an instinct of the body, just like a child grows taller while sleeping.

It would be worth risking one's life for such a treasure. I doubt anyone could remain calm after seeing it, let alone have it delivered right to their doorstep like Qi Heng did!
The Immortal Sect has really prospered lately, acquiring one good thing after another, which has led everyone to take treasures for granted, even saying things like "throw out the Yi Ling Vine".

After regaining their senses, everyone felt a little awkward and couldn't help but reflect on their own actions.

Although the Yiling Vine looks like a plant, it is actually a living thing.

[It was the spiritual energy from Senior Brother Qi's breakthrough that attracted it. It wanted to get closer to absorb some of the spiritual energy, but just then, Senior Brother opened his eyes, saw something dangling in front of him, and casually grabbed it.]

The cultivators who sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy arrived to witness this scene, and naturally, they immediately began fighting, attempting to seize it.

After Senior Brother Qi ran away, the news spread throughout Cangming Plain, and everyone knew that he had obtained the treasure... At this point, he couldn't throw it away even if he wanted to. Unless he could throw it away in front of everyone who had heard the news, no one would believe him even if he said he had lost it.

Because those people were so envious they were almost insane.

Immortal Sect members: ...

After learning the details, I felt even more sympathy for Senior Brother Qi.

"Swiftness Talisman," Mo Jiuwei suddenly said.

Hu Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then took out a stack of talismans and distributed them to everyone. "Yes, quickly use the speed talismans, this will increase our travel speed."

With Mo Jiuwei around, she could know Qi Heng's location, and even find out in advance which direction there were people and which places had paths.

With her leading the way, plus the speed-traveling talisman, the time spent searching for Qi Heng can be greatly reduced.

The group affixed speed-enhancing talismans to their bodies and almost instantly sped forward, walking at a jog pace, quickly overtaking the caravan.

The caravan turned around in astonishment—

"Are these people crazy?"

"They must have heard about Yi Ling Teng and wanted to go find it first."

"Tch, what are you thinking? By the time they get there, they'll be long gone!"

"At most, they're at the Golden Core stage, yet they dare to covet the Spirit Vine! How naive!"

Mo Jiuwei was held in Ling Qing's arms because she felt that such opportunities were rare and she had to cherish them.

A hug from a senior sister is always possible, but a hug from a handsome man... hehe.

At this moment, she was in the handsome man's arms, and he held her very steadily, without any swaying even when he quickened his pace.

“I’ll send you all on a gust of wind,” Ling Qing said.

He seemed to recite an incantation, then raised his hand, and the cyan-gold spiritual energy in his hand enveloped the members of the Immortal Sect.

Then, everyone felt like leaves being blown by the wind, drifting lightly forward involuntarily!
It's even more effective than the Swiftness Talisman, and much easier and less strenuous!

"What a wonderful breeze! Thank you, Chief Lingqing."

"You are Welcome."

The gust of wind lasted for nearly fifteen minutes, and when it ended, Ling Qing started another gust.

The members of the Immortal Sect were overjoyed, and Hu Jiu even said with a smile, "With this wind, we can find Senior Brother Qi even faster. It's all thanks to Clan Chief Ling Qing."

Yes, yes, we'll be close to where Senior Brother Qi is in two more hours.

He's already circled almost half of the Cangming Plain in his escape attempt; it hasn't been easy for him.

Fortunately, he's still alive and has a chance.

Hearing this, everyone felt even more energized.

Thus, many cultivators in Cangming Plains witnessed a rare sight—

A group of cultivators, men and women, young and old, rushed past them like a gust of wind, startling them from the start.

Some people were so frightened by their passing that they even pulled out their weapons, thinking they were about to launch a sneak attack.
