Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 68 News about Xuelian

The wind and snow were quite strong.

Such bad weather has lasted for several days.

Although those who were practicing cultivation were not afraid, they could not help feeling disappointed. However, there was one person who came to Xu Heng's cave in the howling wind and snow.

He typed a message in, and after a moment he saw the door open, and Xu Heng appeared, his face was full of fatigue. Seeing his appearance, he perked up a little and said politely, "It turns out to be Senior Brother Qian."

"Junior Brother Xu." Qian Yu was surprised and asked, "Why are you... like this?"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I've been studying sword techniques lately and I'm a little obsessed with it." Xu Heng replied, and then invited Qian Yu in, saying, "Senior Brother, please come in."

"That's not necessary." Qian Yu said, "I came here to deliver this."

He took out a bulging small bag and said, "These are the herbs that Junior Brother wanted. Although there are still two herbs that I haven't collected, I suddenly have something important to do and need to leave the mountain, so I can only send them to Junior Brother in advance."

"Of course, I put senior brother's important matters first." Xu Heng took it in his hand, "This has saved me a lot of hard work. Thank you, senior brother."

Qian Yu then smiled and said, "I'm glad I can help you, Junior Brother. There are two herbs missing here. The three hundred year old snow lotus is a bit troublesome, but the other one, the jade essence, will definitely yield a lot after this snowstorm."

"I have already told someone I know in Bishan City, and you can go find him and get it when the time comes."

It seemed that Qian Yu had something urgent to attend to. He hurriedly gave Xu Heng a contact number and said goodbye to him before leaving.

After seeing his figure completely disappear in the wind and snow, Xu Heng withdrew his gaze and weighed the small bag full of medicinal herbs.

Qian Yu's efficiency was beyond Xu Heng's expectations, and the only two missing medicinal ingredients, the essence of jade wool, had also been arranged. Xu Heng only needed to find the snow lotus to complete the task.

"Although Master Tongtai didn't give a deadline, it's not a good idea to delay it for too long. It's better to find a way to complete this task so that we can report to Master."

Xu Heng was thinking about where to find this three hundred year old snow lotus, and soon he had some ideas.

However, he was not in a hurry to leave, not because the wind and snow continued, but because his current condition was indeed not good.

Sometimes, once a thought arises, it is very difficult to suppress it, especially when it is something that does no harm to oneself. It has nothing to do with one’s mentality.

After Xu Heng copied the "Fire Dragon Sword Art" in the library and returned to the cave, apart from refining the moon and the sun and increasing his magic power as his main task, he put all other things aside temporarily and worked day and night to study the sword art.

Although Monk Xuan Guang can eat wind and fast, and maintain health by eating air, the mental damage is unavoidable, so when Qian Yu arrived, he saw him in this state.

Xu Heng returned to the quiet room to rest. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the little beast coming out from the ground. It looked at Xu Heng and immediately started to squeak and cry.

Xu Heng raised his eyebrows. He hadn't seen this little animal for a long time. He thought it had run away to somewhere unknown, but he never thought it would come back.

The little animal was still squeaking and gurgling. Seeing that Xu Heng did not respond, it climbed up the wall again and circled around the green-skinned gourd. It even gestured and pointed at its mouth, and whined a few times.

"You are quite clever." Xu Heng couldn't help but smile, and took out a Five Essence Pill and threw it back and forth. The little beast caught it in one bite, and then he was satisfied, and ran to the corner to lie down on the futon, twisting his body very comfortably. Xu Heng didn't care, and returned to the bed, put aside all distractions, sat cross-legged to find peace, and visualized into meditation.

After half a day, he opened his eyes again, and the bright light in them had returned.

Xu Heng felt that his spirit had been fully recovered and it was time to set off, so he stood up and was about to leave the quiet room. Unexpectedly, his action seemed to startle the little beast, which suddenly rolled over and ran to Xu Heng, squeaking a few times.

Xu Heng looked surprised, glanced at the little beast's expression, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to follow me?"

It wasn't known whether it understood or not. It held its two little paws together and shook them up and down as if bowing. Xu Heng couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

He originally thought that the little beast only stayed here because it thought he was friendly and the cave was safe, but he didn't expect that a few Five Essence Pills could fool this little thing and make it lose its mind. It seemed to think of him as its owner.

Xu Heng felt that he was quite fond of the little beast, so he simply spread out his sleeves. Sure enough, without his signal, the little beast scurried in with a whoosh.

Xu Heng felt the little thing crawling along his arm to his chest without moving. He thought to himself that it was interesting, then he strode out of the cave, set up the cloud magic and flew away. In a moment, he arrived at the Tianchi where the Jingshui Dragon King lived.

Without waiting for Xu Heng to call out, the dragon that had cultivated its inner elixir had already sensed his presence, poked its dragon head out from the Tianchi, and said with a sneer, "Boy, you still remember to come and see me."

Xu Heng smiled slightly, bowed and greeted the Dragon King. The Jingshui Dragon King became alert and said, "Boy, you came to see me with bad intentions! Tell me, are you here for the Red Fruit?"

"That's not the case." Xu Heng said embarrassedly: "But I'm currently looking for a three hundred year old snow lotus..."

"Three hundred years old snow lotus?" Jingshui Dragon King shouted, "I am in Tianchi Mountain and cannot go anywhere. Where can I find a three hundred years old snow lotus for you..."

Xu Heng coughed lightly and said, "I just want to ask the Dragon King for information."

"Oh, is that so..." Jingshui Dragon King showed an anthropomorphic look of thought on his face, and Xu Heng's heart moved when he saw this.

He had only heard that when the Jingshui Dragon King secretly asked someone to take it out of the mountain gate, he would sometimes repay with elixirs, not just the red fruit, so he came to inquire with a glimmer of hope. Unexpectedly, this old dragon seemed to have some clues?
However, Jingshui Dragon King hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have any news about the three hundred year old snow lotus..."

Xu Heng heard something behind the words, so he waited quietly. As expected, the old dragon changed the subject and said, "I have a lover, Han Chi, outside the mountain. She is free and comes and goes as she pleases. Maybe she knows where to find the three hundred year old snow lotus."

"What?" Xu Heng asked in astonishment, "Han Chi?"

"Why, I can't have a lover?" Jingshui Dragon King snorted a long white breath from his nose and said, "It just so happens that I haven't left the mountain for a long time. Why don't you take me out and I will take you to find her for information. How about it?"

Xu Heng frowned. Even though Qiao Cheng might have turned a blind eye to the dragon escaping from the mountain, as a direct disciple of Master Qiao, he could not be the one to disrespect his master's orders.

So although this proposal was tempting, Xu Heng still replied: "I'm afraid this won't work."

Jingshui Dragon King showed a look of disappointment. Xu Heng originally thought that this way would not work, but he did not expect a sudden turn of events. Although Jingshui Dragon King was depressed, he still said, "Forget it then. You can help me take the letter and then bring the reply to me."
