Hearing the name Chongming from an outsider, Yaohua felt quite curious.
Seeing her curiosity, Xu Ruanruan simply cast a spell over: "This is the Virtue - Judging Technique passed down among our sects. As long as you take a look, you'll know whether a person is good or bad. The golden light of merit on you two is very pure, so I don't set much defense against you."
This spell was very weak, and Yaohua didn't dodge. She looked curiously at the golden thread of merit above Xu Ruanruan's head: "I haven't been to the mortal world for a long time. Has such a miraculous cultivation method emerged in the sects?"
Xu Ruanruan smiled and said: "You must be cultivators in seclusion. You may not know that a strange illusion suddenly broke out a few years ago. Our sect master comprehended the Merit Technique in that illusion and founded our sect after returning."
With this Merit Technique, Yaohua finally dispelled her suspicion and started to talk with Xu Ruanruan.
Now the world is peaceful, which is why there are people like Xu Ruanruan with good character and no defense against others.
"Peacock? If such a divine beast appears, there will be celestial anomalies in the Mysterious Grotto of Yin Mountain." When Xu Ruanruan learned the purpose of the two's visit, she was extremely surprised.
Chongming spat out a mouthful of black blood. With his current cultivation, most of his injuries quickly healed.
Suddenly, the communication jade token lit up. Yaohua clenched the token and heard Mo Qing's voice: "Sister, come back quickly!"
The two had just experienced a life - and - death crisis, and hearing his urgent voice, they couldn't help but feel extremely worried.
Yaohua sent several messages in a row but received no reply, which made her worry even more.
Chongming made a decision: "Since there is no trace of the peacock here, let's find a way to get out."
Yaohua was in a dilemma: "The Mysterious Grotto of Yin Mountain is easy to enter but hard to get out..."
"We've built teleportation arrays in the mortal world. If you have the corresponding materials, I can set up an array, and we can all get out together." Seeing this, Xu Ruanruan's eyes sparkled.
The couple was surprised and asked: "Are you an array master?"
Everyone in the world has their own strengths. The demons and gods have innate supernatural powers, long lifespans, and extraordinary talents. They can effortlessly have powerful spells, so they don't study other aspects much. While humans have short lifespans, they are most adept at things like arrays and pills.
Xu Ruanruan took out a classic: "Yes, I'm a rare array genius. Usually, setting up an array requires very few things, but since this is the Mysterious Grotto of Yin Mountain, the difficulty of getting out has increased accordingly. We need ten - thousand - year spiritual wood, thousand - year demon feathers... I've collected them for a long time, but I still haven't gathered them all."
Hearing this, Yaohua's eyebrows relaxed. She thought it was something extraordinary, but it was just these things.
She waved her hand, and several things appeared on the ground: "Is this enough?"
Xu Ruanruan happily gathered all the things beside her. Not caring about the dirt, she grinned from ear to ear. There was no trace of her former elegant and otherworldly appearance.
Excited, she murmured to herself: "Wow haha, I've been here for so many years. I knew you must be the noble people sent by heaven to save me. The merit has turned into a golden lotus flower. You're really not ordinary people!"
The words in her mouth didn't delay her setting up the array and casting spells at all. She made hand seals, and in a flash, the three of them appeared on an ordinary mountain peak.
Even though Yaohua had the power to move mountains and fill seas, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Could this be some kind of illusion? The spiritual energy here is so thin. How could there be such a powerful array to escape from the Mysterious Grotto of Yin Mountain?"
"Is the Mysterious Grotto of Yin Mountain a very special place?" Xu Ruanruan scratched her head and asked back. "You can just use the teleportation array to enter. We've already opened a small path in the mortal world. I was just unlucky. As soon as I entered that path, it was destroyed by a big demon."
After saying that, she angrily added: "It was that big demon with spider webs! I practiced for more than ten years inside before I managed to kill it."
Yaohua was silent.
It was just a spider demon that hadn't even awakened its spiritual intelligence, yet it could destroy the path to the Mysterious Grotto of Yin Mountain? This sounded too absurd.
A girl with amazing array talent had to practice for more than ten years to kill such a spider demon. It also sounded quite ridiculous.
But looking at the faint teleportation array under her feet, she faintly felt that Xu Ruanruan wasn't lying.
It's just...
"Why have I never seen this kind of array in the demon realm and the celestial realm?" she couldn't help but ask.
Xu Ruanruan was confused for a moment, and then her eyes showed admiration: "You've even been to the demon realm and the celestial realm! You must be ancient cultivators who have just come out of seclusion. How amazing!"
Just as Yaohua was about to talk to her, the communication jade token kept lighting up.
Helpless, she had to say goodbye first: "Miss, I'll surely repay your rescue in the future. Now I have to leave first."
After saying that, she took off the jade pendant from her waist: "There's my aura on this jade pendant. It can protect a person's life in a critical moment and can also be used for teleportation. I hope you'll accept it."
Xu Ruanruan took the jade pendant, took out a big chicken leg from her space, stared blankly at the direction where they left, took a few bites, and then smiled brightly: "It's really interesting. I seem to have met noble people."
At this time, an angry shout came from somewhere: "Xu Ruanruan! You damned traitor finally showed up. That secret path was built by our sect with countless manpower and material resources, but you privately brought food and attracted the demons. Now none of us can enter the Mysterious Grotto of Yin Mountain. Come here and take your punishment!"
"Ouch—" Xu Ruanruan couldn't help but gasp. She started to set up an array in a hurry. "I'm doomed. That path was set up by our sect in cooperation with several other sects. It hasn't recovered for decades. I'm afraid I've really caused a big problem this time... It's better to run first!"
She put all the treasures she got in the Mysterious Grotto of Yin Mountain on the ground and painfully took out the spiritual wood and other things: "Woohoo, these are the beautiful sister's treasures. I finally managed to secretly keep a little with a guilty conscience. Forget it, I'll leave them to the sect as compensation... Beautiful sister, I'm coming to you!"
On Danxue Mountain.
Looking at Mo Qing who was unharmed, Yaohua gritted her teeth and said word by word: "You said you called me here just for a joke?"
Mo Qing hugged the little fox in his arms and wanted to cry: "Sister, I really didn't mean it. Who would have thought that this little fox would awaken its spiritual intelligence today and steal the jade token while I was drunk and send messages to everyone."
Yaohua clenched her fists and suddenly sighed: "Forget it. As long as the Three Realms are safe, I'd rather this be just a joke than a great disaster."
Mo Qing was extremely touched: "Sister, do you really forgive me?"
