Chapter 48 Water Curtain Woman
"In just a few days, you have become so powerful."

Shi Xuan's praises could be heard beside his ears: "Not only has his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, but his refined and sophisticated swordsmanship and body movements are truly astonishing."

Recalling Su Cheng's dragon-like figure amidst the siege of the Ice Golems, she said with a hint of surprise, "I don't know how you managed to do this."

"Thanks to your help, I can concentrate on my training."

Su Cheng stood up and brushed off the ice debris on his body: "As for these ice puppets, with you analyzing their weaknesses, we can naturally deal with them easily."

Compared with Master Wei's fierce and violent attack, these ice puppets, although extremely numerous, are not much of a problem.

Once the weakness is broken, it will become a ball of "spiritual energy" waiting to be harvested.

"Young Master, don't let your guard down." Shi Xuan smiled faintly. "Where we are now may only be a small part of the secret realm. There may still be many ice puppets stationed in various places."

"I see."

Su Cheng casually shook off the ice and snow on his sword and walked towards the strange altar not far away.

"Now that no other ice puppets arrive, it's a good time to take a look at this."

It must be no ordinary decoration as it is surrounded and protected by so many ice puppets.

Su Cheng stood in front of the altar, looked at it carefully, and found many fine lines under the thick ice layer of the altar.

“You can understand what’s inside.”

"Array seal." Shi Xuan was slightly surprised: "There is an array seal engraved in this altar."

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and placed his palm on the altar. Not long after, a system prompt popped up.

[Mazing Xumi Formation, Xuan Level]

[Has the ability to connect two places and penetrate illusions]

[Whether to absorb] [Whether to set as a sect protection formation]

Su Cheng's eyes moved. From the introduction, it seemed that this formation had no killing power.

"This formation is very ingeniously arranged." Shi Xuan secretly admired: "The mystery of it is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators. The cultivation level of the person who set up the formation is obviously not just the Danxuan realm."

"What is this used for?"

"Thousands of miles of sound transmission."

Shi Xuan chuckled: "Of course, if there is enough spiritual energy to fill it, it will definitely be more than just 'a thousand miles'."

Su Cheng was somewhat tempted by what he heard. Even if he didn't set up this formation as a sect protection formation, simply absorbing it and using it might be a good idea.

Just as he was about to take action, he saw a dim light suddenly appear on the altar, and the array seal buried under the thick ice layer suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

"Activated?"

Su Cheng looked surprised and quickly embraced Shi Xuan to avoid the bright light.

Shi Xuan also uttered a sigh: "We didn't input spiritual energy into the formation, how could this formation suddenly..."

At this point, she seemed to have thought of something and murmured, "Was it the other side of the formation who took the initiative to activate it?"

Could it be that the original owner of the secret realm is still alive?

The two of them just had guesses in their minds.

Om-!
The dark blue waterfall bursting out from the altar condensed into a three-meter-high water curtain, with ripples everywhere.

Su Cheng felt curious and cautious.

"rustle."

The water curtain trembled and rippled, and an indistinct sound of sand came from it.

"Huh? This is what I left behind."

Fine ripples appeared on the curtain, and a faint female voice, wrapped in a murmur, seeped out: "Someone actually broke in."

The water curtain suddenly became as flat as a mirror, reflecting a hazy figure like mist, which seemed to be extremely tall and plump.

"."

The palace fell into a momentary silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Su Cheng frowned and spoke tentatively, "Are you the original owner of this secret realm?"

".That's right."

The woman's voice was clear and melodious, and she sighed repeatedly, "I never thought that after all these years, someone would suddenly break into this place. I just wanted to activate this formation to see for myself which cultivator has such courage."

Su Cheng's expression stiffened slightly, and he coughed twice: "Junior, I'm sorry for being so rude. I didn't know the original owner of the secret realm was still alive. After so many years, I thought..."

Now that I've been caught red-handed by the owner of the house, it's quite embarrassing.

"Haha, ignorance is not a crime, you don't have to blame yourself."

The cold voice of the water curtain softened, and the woman seemed to be laughing softly with her hands covering her lips. "I left the secret realm in the mountains. Back then, I also had some thoughts of leaving it for a chance. Now that it is yours, it is naturally not a problem."

Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you, senior."

"You're welcome," the woman in the water curtain said with interest, "You've come all the way here after overcoming countless obstacles. I'm sure you've gone through countless hardships. It's only fitting that you have this opportunity and this reward."

"Uh"

Su Cheng hesitated, giving an awkward smile. He was too embarrassed to admit that his journey wasn't exactly a 'pass'; rather, it was a very rewarding and relaxing one.

"Unfortunately, this formation has been set up for some time, and now I can't see the situation on your side clearly."

The woman behind the water curtain seemed to think for a moment, then asked curiously, "There seems to be another woman beside you?"

"She is a puppet I made."

"I see." The woman in the water curtain nodded in understanding, and then chuckled softly, "It's a great coincidence that a young talent like you has come here. I happen to have a spiritual medicine that can be used by Danxuan cultivators. Take it and refine it. It will help you reach a higher level of cultivation."

"Danxuan?"

Su Cheng was slightly stunned, and quickly said: "Senior, you are mistaken, I am still a Xinxuan cultivator."

"."

There was a moment of silence behind the water curtain.

After a moment, the woman asked with a hint of surprise, "You are still in the Heart Profound Realm. How could you break through all the way here alone?"

Su Cheng shook his head: "I took advantage of an opportunity and stepped into the palace from a cave in the mountains. I just killed dozens of ice puppets."

"Hiss," the water curtain woman murmured, "How did you do that?"

"Well, just find the location of the spirit stone inside the ice puppet and break it with one sword."

"."

The woman under the water curtain was quiet for a while.

Immediately, she sighed softly, "There are such freaks in the world today. Could it be that I am old and don't understand the changes in the outside world?"

Su Cheng was embarrassed when he heard this and quickly changed the subject: "Since the senior is still here, what should we do with this secret realm now?"

"You are free to use it as you wish."

The woman behind the water curtain quickly regained her gentle tone, "Please reach out your hand close to this water curtain, and I will pass the elixir to you."

Su Cheng thought for a moment, then slowly stepped onto the altar and reached into the water curtain.

While he was secretly preparing for a counterattack, he saw ripples gradually rising, and his palm suddenly sank. Sure enough, a piece of spiritual jade fell into his palm, emitting an emerald green spiritual light.

This maze of Sumeru formations is quite magical.

Su Cheng was surprised, and then he saw the prompt that popped up from the system:
[Nine Green Mixed Jade: Elixir-grade Miraculous Medicine]

[Recipe Unlocked: Guiyuan Yunqing Pill]

[Requires Nine Green Mixed Jade, Mysterious Wood Vine, Heavenly Star Marrow, and Mi Bodhi]

Su Cheng suddenly clenched the elixir in his palm, and a burning sensation rose in his heart.

In this way, only three ingredients are missing to further repair the meridians in Shi Xuan's body and upgrade the Immortal Sect system!
"It seems you are very satisfied with this gift." The woman in the water curtain smiled softly. "Don't get excited yet. How about I tell you how many treasures are left in this secret realm?"
