vrcanaries Chapter 280 Yinghuo
Chapter 280 Yinghuo
Shilin Town is indeed small, and the walls and streets are very simple. After they entered the town and inquired, they learned that there were only two pharmacies in the town, both located in the town center.
The two pharmacies were next to each other. Huo Die bought out one pharmacy and then went to the other to buy more. The two pharmacies combined only had enough stock for half a month, which made Shen Yao complain bitterly.
Her husband and father were weighing medicine in the shop, while the eight-tailed fox was buying pastries across the street. Shen Yao squatted dejectedly at the entrance of the pharmacy, picking up a pebble and drawing circles on the ground.
Yinghuo stood openly on the street looking at her, his blue eyes gleaming with a faint green light.
Yinghuo had been tracking her for a long time and was now very certain that it was this female cultivator in black who possessed powerful primordial spiritual energy.
She strode forward and squatted down in front of Shen Yao.
A shadow fell in front of her. When Shen Yao looked up, she saw a little girl who wasn't much older than Shi Bao. She looked well-behaved and was wearing a light blue dress.
Yinghuo's eyes were clear, and she clutched her skirt tightly with her two small hands. She said in a clear voice, "Sister, I've lost something. Can you help me find it?"
After buying the pastries, Tu Xiaoxiao turned around but didn't see Shen Yao. He assumed she had gone into the pharmacy and didn't think much of it before walking across the street.
Just as I reached the middle of the road, I saw Feng Yu and Huo Die coming out from inside.
Seeing Tu Xiaoxiao standing alone in the middle of the road, Feng Yu hurriedly asked, "Where's Yanzhou?"
Tu Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat, only then realizing that the fairy was gone: "Isn't she in the pharmacy?"
Shen Yao wouldn't run away for no reason. They saw the anxiety in each other's eyes. There was no time for regret or self-blame. Huo Die used his divine sense to scan the area and caught sight of his daughter and a little girl leaving the town. He immediately led them to chase after them.
……
Outside Shilin Town, Shen Yao, accompanied by Yinghuo, flew rapidly northward. Her expression was numb, her mind clear, but her body wouldn't obey her commands: 'Who would have thought that a cultivator as powerful as me would be kidnapped by a little girl? Who would believe it?'
"Fly faster!" Yinghuo urged, and Shen Yao accelerated uncontrollably, flying even faster.
Shen Yao was extremely anxious. They were already very far from Shilin Town: "Who are you? Where are you taking me?"
Yinghuo did not answer. She channeled her spiritual energy into the flying sword, which increased its speed considerably.
Huo Die chased her out of the town, but Shen Yao was already out of his sight. He started calculating again, and the number Ren was two. He only calculated the approximate location: "In the north."
Tu Xiaoxiao secretly used her tracking technique and sensed that Shen Yao was rapidly moving away from them.
"Follow me!" Regardless of whether the tracking technique would be exposed, he transformed into an eight-tailed spirit fox, unleashing his full spiritual power, and rode the jade scroll at full speed to track the enemy.
Huo Die and Feng Yu followed side by side, the three flying magical artifacts leaving afterimages in the blink of an eye.
Tu Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious. It was too fast! Shen Yao was moving away too fast, even faster than the speed of an ancestral cultivator. It was definitely not the speed of a celestial saint. It was probably a demon lord who took her away.
The flying sword flew north for about half an hour. Then, Yinghuo told Shen Yao to fly west. After they flew west for a long time, Yinghuo told Shen Yao to fly north again.
"We've arrived." They flew to the entrance of a cave and landed. It was already late at night. Yinghuo pulled her inside. The fallen leaves at the cave entrance rustled under their feet.
Inside the cave were dozens of smaller caves. Yinghuo led her into one of them, and after walking for about an hour, they finally reached the end, where there were three spiritual plants that looked like Ganoderma lucidum.
"Go, pick a purple cloud fruit tree."
Upon receiving Yinghuo's command, Shen Yao flew uncontrollably toward the spiritual plant on the stone wall and reached out to pick it.
'Sizzle'.
Before she could even touch the purple cloud fruit, a large burst of electricity flashed from it, causing her to convulse and fall to the bottom of the cave.
Yinghuo ran over, lifting her skirt, and poked her face with her hand: "Are you dead? If you're not dead, get up and keep picking. Use your spiritual power to pick."
Upon receiving the command, Shen Yao sprang up from the ground and flew back to the stone wall. Her hands were covered with spiritual power as she successfully picked the Purple Cloud Fruit and landed back in front of Yinghuo.
Yinghuo happily went to catch the Purple Cloud Fruit, but was shocked by the residual energy on the fruit.
Yinghuo pursed her lips, took out a shoulder bag and put it on her back. She then asked Shen Yao to put the Purple Cloud Fruit into the bag and pulled her towards the cave entrance.
After they came out, Yinghuo led her into another cave within a cave. It took them about an hour to reach the bottom. There were six spiritual plants growing on the stone walls at the bottom of the cave. The spiritual plants were white and looked like a pair of fluffy rabbit ears.
"Go pick two white-haired fruit trees."
Shen Yao picked two white-haired fruit plants and put them into Yinghuo's handbag. The little girl smiled sweetly and pulled her outside.
After Shen Yao followed her out, she was led to the cave entrance next to her: "So you want me to help you gather herbs?"
Yinghuo pulled her straight into the cave: "When we get there, you'll naturally know."
This cave is very dry, unlike the previous two caves where the ground and rock walls were very damp.
The cave narrowed as they walked, then widened again. After walking for about 45 minutes, they passed through a tree hole connected to the exit and arrived at a valley.
A small river flows through the valley, spanning their feet.
Yinghuo instructed Shen Yao to fly her across the river, over the low trees on the riverbank, over the vast sea of red flowers beyond the trees, and land on the altar outside the flower field.
"Stand here and wait."
After giving the order, Yinghuo walked to the center of the altar, sat down, and used his spiritual power to activate the altar's formation, suspending the Purple Cloud Fruit and White Hair Fruit above his head and beginning to absorb them.
Shen Yao stood there dumbfounded, feeling that the little girl would absorb her after absorbing the spiritual plant; her sixth sense was very ominous.
She mentally rehearsed several escape methods, but the most troublesome thing was that her body was currently out of control.
Yinghuo told her to stand here and wait, without saying that she couldn't move her hands. Shen Yao understood this and tried to form hand seals. She moved her fingers slightly and was able to form hand seals.
It wasn't convenient for her to use her spiritual sense to check right now, as she didn't know the little girl's strength. So she used a divine-level Qi Concealment Technique to try and lure the little girl away.
Yinghuo, who was absorbing the spiritual plants, suddenly opened her eyes and found that the altar in front of her was empty. Her spiritual power immediately reversed, and she almost stopped absorbing them.
Yinghuo hurled a wooden spirit blade at the spot where Shen Yao was standing.
Unaware of her strength, Shen Yao dared not take the attack head-on. She formed a hand seal and used the Golden Spirit Shield to defend herself. Her Qi Spirit Concealment Technique failed, and her figure was exposed.
When attacked, she instinctively retreated, and realizing she could run, she ran into the sea of flowers behind her without looking back.
Seeing the female cultivator run into the sea of flowers, Yinghuo smiled contemptuously, spat out a mouthful of blood, and recirculated her spiritual power to forcibly continue absorbing the spiritual plants.
The flowers were tall enough to hide her figure. Shen Yao ran in the sea of flowers for a while, and seeing that the little girl was not chasing after her, she decided to fly back from the air.
She tried to use her spiritual energy to take off, but found that she couldn't use it. She was immediately anxious because this sea of red flowers could actually suppress her spiritual energy!
No wonder the little girl didn't chase after him.
When she flew overhead on her way here, she thought the sea of red flowers was very, very large. Now that she was in the thicket, she felt that the sea of flowers was boundless.
From where she was, she could no longer see the woods she had come from.
They could only run in the opposite direction of the altar, relying on their intuition.
She couldn't use her spiritual power while surrounded by flowers, but if the little girl chased her from the air, her spiritual power wouldn't be affected. Knowing this, Shen Yao ran as fast as she could, not daring to stop...
