Chapter 63 Hook Moon
Ning Yuan Gouyue was still able to fight Jiang Ming at this time. The two sides were locked in a stalemate for a long time and reached a deal.
Gou Yue provided Jiang Ming with a portion of Demon Spirit Soil and Crimson Cloud Flower, and Jiang Ming helped them find the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Yin Fruit.
Jiang Ming's original words were: "I will help you find the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Yin Fruit. You should leave the Immortal Clan's territory immediately. After you obtain the Spirit Yin Fruit, I will send the Merchant Guild to deliver it to the Underworld Mountain Sect."
A deal between the most powerful figures of the two clans' largest sects should be a promise kept.
After obtaining the Demon Spirit Soil and the Crimson Cloud Flower, Jiang Ming immediately turned and left.
Gou Yue then took Ning Yuan and planned to bypass Lishui Ridge and detour through Fenzhou to leave the Immortal Clan's territory.
Unexpectedly, they were ambushed and killed before they even reached Fenzhou territory.
The number of high-ranking cultivators who intercepted them was large, and they were extremely arrogant: "The hall master said that the demonic cultivator Ning Yuan was seriously injured and must be at his last gasp. Whoever takes his life will be richly rewarded upon returning to the sect."
The battles raged fiercely, but fortunately, Jiang Ming was afraid that his dealings with the demons would be exposed, so he secretly sent Gao Xiu to hunt them down.
Otherwise, if all the high-level cultivators in the entire Immortal Realm came to hunt them down, they would certainly not be able to escape unscathed.
Gou Yue and Ning Yuan were in the Immortal Clan's territory, fleeing while searching for the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Yin Fruit.
During this period, all messages sent to his confidants in the Underworld Sect and to the Demon Ancestors went unanswered.
It is unclear whether the Mingshan Sect suffered a great calamity or they were betrayed.
But in either case, they can't go back to the Underworld Sect for the time being.
After Ning Yuan's spiritual root began to wither, Gou Yue replenished Ning Yuan's spiritual energy every day, using countless secret medicines to slow down the withering of his spiritual root.
Erxiu spent more than eight years in the Immortal Clan's territory, each day feeling like a year.
Finally, news of the Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Yin Fruit has arrived!
Gou Yue ambushed and killed a group of immortal cultivators on their way to the meeting, obtained an invitation to the Feng family's treasure appraisal meeting, and then took Ning Yuan day and night to Qiwu City.
After finally arriving in Qiwu City, I was surprised to find that this small town in Rongzhou was surprisingly bustling.
They explored all four realm gates, and the immortal cultivators coming and going never stopped.
Gouyue couldn't find a gap, and the Enchanting Gate Envoy let them in.
After observing for several days, they chose the Southern Gate, where there were relatively few immortal cultivators, and waited in this wooden shed for three days.
However, even though fewer immortal cultivators entered and exited through the Southern Gate, the flow of immortals never ceased.
With the treasure appraisal event just around the corner, Gou Yue couldn't wait to embark on an adventure and venture into the realm.
In Qiwu City during this period, in addition to the visiting cultivators who came because of the Feng family's treasure appraisal event, there have also been many more merchants coming to the city from the surrounding areas.
In particular, Fairy Shen held a grand three-day banquet at the Feng Clan Restaurant, attracting 80% of the 70,000 cultivators in Qiwu City.
Feng's Restaurant went on a buying spree for ingredients and various banquet utensils, and hired more helpers and cooks... Merchants in Qiwu City were more active than ever before.
The gatekeepers of Qiwu City have been extremely busy with paperwork lately.
From the start of work to the end of work, the inspection of the monks entering the city never stopped.
Every day, the gatekeepers get a headache just looking at the long queues.
Ke Feng's family is extremely sensible; they made arrangements for everyone from the moment they were notified about the treasure appraisal event.
After receiving such a large order, Feng's Restaurant sent a generous sum of ten coins to the city lord's mansion. The city lord was grateful and also distributed the rewards to the gatekeepers and guards.
Therefore, despite the hardship, the gatekeepers diligently stuck to their posts and never slacked off or complained.
It's almost time for the gates to close, and the line at the South Gate is finally getting shorter.
After checking the last cultivator entering the city, one gatekeeper said to another, "Hey, Lao Wu, look over there, what's wrong with that fairy at the entrance of that wooden shed? She's been standing there for three days and hasn't come in."
Old Wu looked over and also found it strange: "I noticed it too. She's been standing there for three days and hardly moved. Hey, Old Li, do you think she might be waiting for someone?"
Old Li: "How about I go take a look?"
Old Wu: "Okay, the gate is about to close. I'll guard it, you go and check it out."
Old Li placed the portrait on the long table next to the boundary gate, then walked out of the boundary gate toward Gouyue.
Gou Yue's eyes lit up; her chance had come.
As Old Li approached, he saw the fairy whose face was covered, and her beautiful eyes behind the mask. He knew she must be an extremely beautiful fairy, and his attitude softened.
Old Li said politely, "Fairy, are you waiting for someone? I've seen you standing here for three days. Is the person you're waiting for going out of the city or coming in?"
Gou Yue put on a tearful expression, stretched out her slender white fingers, grabbed Old Li's robe, and said earnestly, "Immortal Master, my brother was seriously injured by a strange beast. My husband said he was going into the city to buy medicine. My brother and I have been waiting here for three days, but my husband has not returned."
As Gou Yue spoke, tears streamed down her beautiful face like broken pearls: "Immortal Master, I long to go into the city to find him, but my brother is bedridden, and if I go in, I'll definitely have to stay at an inn. My husband took all our valuables with him when he went into the city, and I really have nothing left..."
Old Li felt a pang of heartache. Such a beautiful and delicate fairy was in such a difficult situation. It would be unreasonable for him not to lend a helping hand.
Old Li gently held Gou Yue's small hand with one hand and patted the back of her hand with the other to comfort her: "Fairy, don't be sad. The city has been lively these past few days. Your husband may have gone somewhere to watch the excitement. Since you have met me, I have no choice but to help. Fairy, call your brother and come with me. I will take you into the city now."
Gou Yue withdrew her hand, took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said to Old Li after drying them, "Immortal Master, my brother is on the wooden bed in the shed. He is seriously injured and cannot walk. Could you please help me?"
Hearing this, Old Li frowned and remained silent. Their sect's envoys were all sixth-grade with five spiritual roots. He couldn't see through this fairy's spiritual roots at all, which meant that the fairy's level was above hers. How come she couldn't even lift up her seriously injured brother?
Seeing his expression, Gou Yue knew she had given herself away, so she quickly added, "My brother and I are both fifth-grade low-level six spiritual roots."
"It's my fault for being too arrogant, pestering my brother to hunt high-level beasts, which resulted in my brother being seriously injured and me suffering internal injuries. Now my spiritual energy is reversed, and I really can't use my spiritual power to carry my brother..."
“It’s because I’m useless…” As she spoke, Gou Yue started to cry again, wiping her tears with her handkerchief.
The gesture of wiping away tears was light and gentle, and the tips of her long eyelashes were covered with teardrops.
The beads that fell from her long, thick eyelashes dripped onto the soft flesh of Old Li's heart. Old Li hurriedly comforted her, "Fairy, don't cry, I'll carry you, I'll carry you!"
As soon as Lao Li and Gou Yue entered the shed, Gou Yue cast a charm spell on him. Lao Li blankly carried Ning Yuan out, and Gou Yue followed behind him towards the boundary gate.
Old Li, carrying Ning Yuan on his back and leading Gou Yue, was about to enter the boundary gate when Old Wu came over with the boundary gate talisman, portrait, and illusion treasure.
Old Li casually took the boundary gate talisman: "Take a look at the portrait, it's an illusion, then you can stop work. I've checked it for them, then I'll go hand in the talisman."
“Okay.” Old Wu replied, compared the portrait with the illusory face, took a picture of the illusion, found no problems, and left.
After Lao Wu left, Gou Yue also helped Ning Yuan leave.
Old Li stood holding the boundary gate talisman for a long time, waiting until Gou Yue and Ning Yuan had walked far away before blankly handing over the talisman.
