"Based on the current situation, even if there's no direct connection, the fact that there's an aura of the Demon Race in the Moonlit Palace definitely indicates something's amiss," Xiao Ying said.
If there hadn't been the aura of the Demon Race, Feng Yuqin wouldn't have been worried.
But Mo Xuanye had told her before that if she encountered any members of the Demon Race, she should be cautious and avoid direct confrontation.
Since she wasn't confident, she didn't plan to act rashly.
She just concealed herself in the corner, deep in thought.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Feng Yuqin suddenly spoke up, "I remember that Nightingale's mother is named Nan Qiao, right?"
"Correct," Xiao Ying replied.
"I also remember that Mu Weizhu's mother also has the surname Nan. Her name is Nan Mu," Feng Yuqin said.
Xiao Ying asked, "Do you think there's some connection between them, Master?"
"Previously, I didn't think there was any connection. But now that you've mentioned the aura of the Demon Race here, I can't help but suspect that there might really be some relation between Nightingale's mother and Mu Weizhu's mother," Feng Yuqin speculated.
"Master, I'm not sure how many members of the Demon Race are inside, or if it's just a coincidence that there's an aura of the Demon Race. So it's better for us to be on the safe side," Xiao Ying said, worried that Feng Yuqin might take risks to save Nightingale.
Although Feng Yuqin wanted to save the person, she was well aware that if she didn't have a way to get out safely, it would be better not to show herself.
"Xiao Ying, isn't there any other way?" Feng Yuqin frowned and asked.
Nightingale had been captured for several days. She was worried that if they delayed any longer, something might happen to Nightingale.
"If Master's strength can be upgraded to the Divine Master level, there might be a glimmer of hope," Xiao Ying said. "Once Master upgrades, our strength will also increase. By then, even if we encounter members of the Demon Race, we might not be without a chance in a battle."
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin asked, "Are the members of the Demon Race really that powerful?"
"Do you think the Lord is powerful?" Xiao Ying counter - asked.
"Of course," In Feng Yuqin's eyes, Mo Xuanye's strength had been growing rapidly.
"The Lord should have had his soul reincarnated after an accident that year," Xiao Ying said. "But the speed at which the Lord upgrades and his overall abilities are extremely impressive. Those members of the Demon Race who can reach this place won't be weak either."
Xiao Ying paused for a moment and then continued, "Although the talents of these members of the Demon Race might not be as good as the Lord's, their strength must be considerable if they can reach the Wild Dragon Continent."
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin's expression became solemn. "Then I'll have to find a place to upgrade first."
Although Xiao Ying knew that she wasn't an impulsive person, Nightingale was still her good friend.
Now that he heard his master say this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Master, Nightingale is, after all, the prospective Saintess of the Moonlit Palace. She won't be in danger for the time being," Xiao Ying comforted her.
Feng Yuqin nodded and began to think about how to quickly improve her strength. Suddenly, Xiao Jin's voice rang out, "Master, go to the crystal mine behind the Moonlit Palace."
Feng Yuqin's eyes lit up. "Right! There's a crystal mine there. It must be possible to quickly improve my strength."
However, she then thought that the people of the Moonlit Palace hadn't discovered the crystal mine. Presumably, it wouldn't be easy to cultivate there.
"Master, have you forgotten about me again?" Hun Bing's aggrieved voice sounded.
"Hun Bing?" Feng Yuqin was taken aback and asked, "Don't tell me you can even gather the spiritual energy inside the crystal mine."
Hun Bing was the Ice Soul Spiritual Gathering Hairpin, which could gather the surrounding spiritual energy.
But she never thought that it could gather the spiritual energy inside the crystals.
After all, the spiritual energy inside the crystals was different from the spiritual energy outside.
"Of course I can," Hun Bing said. "Xiao Jin can use the spatial domain to prevent the leakage of spiritual energy, and I can suck out all the spiritual energy inside and provide it for Master to use."
Feng Yuqin felt that this was just like a pillow arriving just as one dozed off. "Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Let's go and improve our strength first."
Led by Xiao Jin, Feng Yuqin soon arrived in front of the crystal mine on the back mountain.
"Master, we're here," Xiao Jin pointed to a certain place and said. "The crystal mine in that area isn't the best, but it's enough for Master to improve her strength in a short period of time."
"Are the best crystals in the innermost part?" Feng Yuqin asked.
Xiao Jin said, "Yes, Master. After you've cultivated and upgraded, you can take this crystal mine into the space by the way."
"Can't I take it in now?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"No. It will take some time to move this crystal mine. So after Master finishes cultivating, you can decide whether to take the crystal mine first or go to save Nightingale first," Xiao Jin said.
Feng Yuqin nodded. "Then let's start."
Hearing this, Xiao Jin immediately used the spatial domain to cover the surrounding area.
When Feng Yuqin sat cross - legged and began to cultivate, Hun Bing also helped her quickly gather the spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy inside the crystal mine continuously entered Feng Yuqin's dantian through Hun Bing.
"Fortunately, you have the spatial domain. Otherwise, with such rich spiritual energy, we definitely wouldn't be able to hide it from the people of the Moonlit Palace," Xiao Ying said.
"Actually, there's a barrier inside that isolates this crystal mine. Otherwise, the people of the Moonlit Palace would have discovered it," Xiao Jin scanned the surroundings and said mysteriously to Xiao Ying, "Moreover, this crystal mine belongs to the fortune of the Moonlit Palace. I always feel that the fortune of the Moonlit Palace is declining."
Xiao Ying said, "The Moonlit Palace is somewhat related to Nightingale. If something really happens, will it affect Nightingale's family? After all, Master regards Nightingale as a friend. If something happens to her, Master will definitely be sad."
"You don't have to worry about this," Xiao Jin said. "Everyone has their own fortune. The current fortune of the Moonlit Palace has nothing to do with Nightingale's family. Naturally, it won't have any impact. It will only be related to the current Palace Master of the Moonlit Palace or those who are closely related to the Moonlit Palace."
Hearing what Xiao Jin said, Xiao Ying felt relieved.
His gaze fell on Feng Yuqin, seeing that she had fully immersed herself in the cultivation state. "I wonder how long it will take for Master to upgrade this time."
"Why don't you go and look for Nightingale's whereabouts? Just be careful. You should be fine," Xiao Jin said to Xiao Ying beside him.
Xiao Ying certainly knew that there wouldn't be much of a problem with the detection, but he still wasn't very relieved about this place.
