Chapter 58: Spirit Water Condenses Crystal

He can’t fix it for a while.

That’s not a room; it’s actually a secret passage. We don’t know where it leads.

Luo Xingzhou barely managed to stop the endlessly slipping wheelchair, and Du Gu Qingli’s eyes were filled with confusion.

She clearly wanted to stand up, but why was she like this when she fell into his embrace? Her whole body was soft, her limbs powerless. Especially when she subconsciously held his waist with her left hand, her whole body trembled even more, as if an electric current had numbed her brain, making it impossible to concentrate her thoughts.

Then, her instinctive sound was: "Let go of me~"

The thought that flashed through her mind at that moment was: I misunderstood you. Indeed, I can’t stand up on my own. You can’t even manage the fourth stage, no wonder I can’t manage the fifth stage.

Luo Xingzhou let go of his hands, and Du Gu Qingli let out a breath, trying her best to stand up.

As a result, as soon as she stood up, her qi and blood were in chaos, she felt dizzy, and she fell back into a sitting position.

Luo Xingzhou bent down slightly: "You…"

This sitting position was a bit precarious; something was about to be broken by being sat on…

This bend made him stick even closer to her back, his head even brushing past her shoulder, brushing past her hot face.

The air seemed to stop, leaving only the two people’s rapid breathing from moments ago.

Du Gu Qingli took several deep breaths, her voice like a mosquito: "I’m injured… I can’t stand steadily for now…"

Actually, Luo Xingzhou was also injured from being hit earlier… Don’t look at how delicate the little white-haired person appears, in fact, being hit into her embrace with this kind of martial cultivation body is no joke. His internal organs were almost scattered, and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

He didn’t say anything, just took out two pills directly. He swallowed one himself and stuffed the other into Du Gu Qingli’s mouth.

His finger brushed past her red lips, warm and soft. Luo Xingzhou’s heart thumped fiercely, seemingly more turbulent than being hit.

Du Gu Qingli was even more stunned, unable to make a sound for a long time, just silently digesting the medicinal power.

Luo Xingzhou also silently wheeled the wheelchair back to the edge of the door, probed for a moment, and was also dumbfounded.

Everywhere was smooth wall; he simply couldn’t find the switch anywhere!

The self-proclaimed clever Luo Xingzhou searched for a long time with no results, a bit losing face, he asked: "That, you have rich experience in exploring cave mansions, can you find the exit?"

Du Gu Qingli’s voice was still very light: "This is an escape door. When encountering a strong enemy, one drills inside, and the door is directly sealed shut to stop the pursuers. He leaves from the rear passage, so there is definitely no switch on Shen Tang’s side."

"What about our side?"

"There will be a switch on this side, but it’s not necessarily at the edge of the door. It could be hidden anywhere in the passage behind. This is to prevent someone from accidentally entering from the other end of the passage. If the switch was just at the edge of the door, it would be too easy to find and open. Therefore, it’s randomly hidden somewhere, and the master only needs to know where it is…"

Luo Xingzhou pondered a bit: "The situation is a bit strange. According to your analysis, if the original master had left from here before, that door should be sealed shut, and we shouldn’t have been able to hit it."

Du Gu Qingli nodded: "Right."

"So either the original master didn’t leave this way… this possibility is low. It’s a very temporary simple cave mansion; there shouldn’t be that many exits. Or, this switch here was just touched, causing the door to revert to its initial state, allowing us to hit it."

Du Gu Qingli’s heart moved: "Someone touched the switch on this side, so why didn’t they enter the door?"

"We’ll know by going in and looking." Luo Xingzhou turned the wheelchair, holding Du Gu Qingli, and headed towards the depths of the passage.

Du Gu Qingli could experience what it felt like for Shen Tang to be bumped all the way while sitting in his embrace at that time. At this moment, her mind was completely muddled, vaguely unaware of what was happening.

Especially since sitting in this position felt really good, almost a perfect fit. If it weren’t for the barrier of clothing, perhaps it would have completely gone in. Those strange feelings impacted her mind one after another, spreading into her limbs and bones. Du Gu Qingli confusedly opened her eyes, her small mouth slightly agape, her mind completely blank, and she leaned against his body with absolutely no strength.

Actually, even though the healing pill was knocked over, her self-recovery ability was also strong. These few sentences of dialogue were enough for her injuries to heal and for her to stand up, but at this moment, her mind was completely dumb, forgetting everything.

Suddenly, what Shen Tang and he did, she also did… If they are adulterous couples, what am I?

Blame him? But I sat down myself…

The little white-haired person fell into a deep life question, completely crashing.

This road was still much further than from the courtyard to Shen Tang’s bedside at that time. Du Gu Qingli even suspected whether there was an end…

In fact, Luo Xingzhou was even more uncomfortable than her. This kind of feeling was really something you couldn’t talk about with others, you couldn’t even describe it. But what time was it now, what kind of environment? He was trapped in a secret passage, and Shen Tang was facing a terrible corpse puppet alone outside!

That corpse puppet had been hit by everyone in a full round; at this moment, it should be much weaker. While it’s not to say Shen Tang could win, at least entanglement and fighting wouldn’t be a big problem. But no matter what, no one could be so heartless as to still be in the mood to mess around at a time like this! What’s more, this wasn’t actually comfortable either.

The seemingly endless long passage finally reached its end, and a faint soft light appeared ahead.

As if stimulated by the light and feeling ashamed, Du Gu Qingli suddenly trembled a bit, leaning back even more limply, her limbs hanging down, and her eyes scattered.

"…" Luo Xingzhou pursed his lips tightly, not knowing what to say.

You, a body full of sword qi and frost cultivation, unexpectedly are quite sensitive…

The wheelchair finally rolled out of the passage, and ahead was actually a water pool. A column-shaped jade crystal-like object quietly floated above the pool water, emitting an extremely soft water spirit aura.

Du Gu Qingli’s scattered spiritual light slowly recovered, and she lost her voice: "Spirit Water Condensing Crystal!"

Luo Xingzhou’s heart moved.

He had heard of this thing. It belongs to the essence of water spirit condensed after millions of years in an extremely dense spiritual spring, gradually solidifying.

Innately, in the narrow sense, it’s not worth mentioning, but in the broad sense, this thing can already be considered an innate object. At least, it is a top-tier heaven and earth treasure. A small piece appearing in the world is an invaluable treasure!

Here, there was actually such a large column shape, it simply looked like a bone…

Bone…

Luo Xingzhou held his breath.

Du Gu Qingli murmured: "I know… this water pool is directly connected to our back mountain’s Sun Moon Pool. The spiritual spring on that side disappeared before because the original master used this condensing crystal to block the spring eye. The day we broke this prohibition, it was equivalent to it rushing open."

Luo Xingzhou also continued: "So it will appear in this column shape because it was blocked in the spring eye. And also because all the spiritual energy of the spiritual spring constantly gathers towards the blocked place, it also makes it more condensed and larger."

Du Gu Qingli said: "Furthermore, it is also the switch that opens the stone door. When it was rushed open, that dark door opened, and we were able to hit it."

The two of them stopped speaking at the same time.

Du Gu Qingli seemed to have just woken up and was still in the state of sitting in his embrace. She suddenly stood up and took a few steps forward, turning her back to him and not speaking.

The poor little white-haired person simply didn’t know how to face him at this moment.

She felt some place was wet, which was very uncomfortable.

Luo Xingzhou said: "You… want this thing?"

Talking about proper matters was good; at least it let Du Gu Qingli breathe a sigh of relief. She quickly replied: "Purely discussing treasure, naturally I want it a bit, but if discussing my cultivation, it doesn’t quite match. I cultivate sword qi and ice cold. Ice cold and this kind of soft water immortal spirit are not the same thing."

"Soft water…" Luo Xingzhou seemed to be talking to himself: "It’s tough enough…"

Du Gu Qingli understood his meaning and suddenly turned back: "You want to use it to refine bone?"

Luo Xingzhou absentmindedly "Um"ed.

This then returned to the previously discussed proposal of "Righteous Limb." Using this supreme treasure to refine a "Righteous Limb" may not merely be a righteous limb; it can completely replace a normal bone with no difference in normal perception, even more perfect than using an immortal bone to replace it. After all, other people’s bones are always other people’s, while treasures refined by one’s own sacrifice will only completely fit oneself. And the innate water spirit aura it provides can quickly create a top-tier water system cultivation foundation.

Luo Xingzhou’s fire attribute cultivation was only in the seventh stage anyway. Wasting and recultivating wasn’t a big deal. Having this treasure was completely worth it. What’s more, there was still the possibility of compatibility; if done well, he wouldn’t even need to waste merit.

But it was a pity there was only one, which could only solve one leg.

Du Gu Qingli said very clearly: "Although its toughness is not as famous as other treasures known for toughness, it absolutely far exceeds the needs for bone. My Frost Heaven Sword’s forging material contains it, used to harmonize the excessive rigidity."

Frost Heaven Sword, Du Gu Qingli’s life ice sword, its grade and life magic treasure can be constantly upgraded or reforged with one’s own cultivation. Currently, Frost Heaven Sword is only in the fifth stage, but its foundation is towards reaching the super-grade. It can be said that purely discussing toughness and damage, this one is a super-grade, custom-made for the number one person in the world for his beloved disciple.

Even things that can be added to forge super-grade flying swords are enough; forging bones certainly has more than enough toughness!

Hearing Luo Xingzhou’s obviously rough breathing, she could completely understand his longing at this moment. Du Gu Qingli’s heart also felt a sense of happiness for him and she quickly said: "Then you sit here, I’ll go and get it."

After saying that, she was about to flash into the pool.

"Wait." Luo Xingzhou quickly reached out and pulled her left hand, pulling her back with one pull.

Du Gu Qingli was shocked. Two sword qis crossed in front of her: "Trespassers will be killed!"

She looked closely and saw two talisman papers in the pool water, left and right. Two talisman spirits floated out from the talisman papers.

Du Gu Qingli secretly cursed herself for being so muddle-headed since entering the door until now, losing the usual vigilance she should have. Instead, it was Luo Xingzhou, with a lifelong obsession right in front of him, who still maintained his awareness.

The door on that side had talisman spirits guarding it; this side might also be a door and had a heavy treasure. The guards would only be stronger, right!

Limited by the energy that talismans can store, if only one technique is released, it might be in the first or even super-grade, but wanting to create this kind of spirit that has instructions and exists for a long time, at most it can be in the third or fourth grade. The door guard on that side exchanged a palm with Shen Tang, around the fourth grade. It can be judged that this side is also similar, but this side has two!

Du Gu Qingli stepped forward, tightly protecting in front of Luo Xingzhou’s wheelchair. She didn’t even know where her confidence came from, being only in the fifth stage.

Luo Xingzhou looked at her back, his expression complex and difficult to describe. Suddenly, he flung the talisman paper he had taken from the edge of the door to the side: "Don’t move, they’re our own people!"
