After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

【Third brother?】

Ni Yangzhou shouted in the pure white space, but there was no response. Ni Yangzhou immediately realized that his third brother had not arrived yet, and immediately opened his system interface.

The books lined up side by side had grown to six. The cover of the last featured a forest of tall buildings, with silhouettes of people scattered across it like waves on the sea. The overly long title took up half the page. The fourth book was still a mosaic of emptiness permeated with a white, suspended background. Ni Yangzhou didn't have time to examine it closely; he reached out and touched it, and his entire body was swept into the mosaic like diluted light and shadow.

……

Ni Yangzhou fell onto the soft mushroom cap with a "whoosh".

His arms and legs were a little sore from the fall, but it wasn't a big deal. Ni Yangzhou's hands were on the surface of the mushroom, and he felt the bumps were very uncomfortable to touch. Without thinking more, the young man immediately looked back and saw that the bubble he had just come out of burst with a sound, and the colorless pure spiritual power flowed down and meandered straight to the pool below him.

A green star was ejected from it, as if it was dizzy and lost its direction. A dark bubble was blown by the wind, and the star was about to rush in at full speed.

"Don't!"

Ni Yangzhou was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He called up the system and instantly took out the "Sumeru Mustard Seed" that he had exchanged with Lu Zheng before. He threw it hard, and the starlight seemed to suddenly have a direction and was sucked into the prop that was aimed at him in the blink of an eye.

Ni Yangzhou took a deep breath, his heart dropping back into his stomach. Just as he was about to reach forward with his hands and feet to catch the plummeting system item, a hurricane-like sound of "whoosh" struck. A figure, barely half the size of a palm, knocked the pure white "Sumeru Mustard Seed" flying. A fragrant breeze accompanied a rosy, delicate face that flashed before Ni Yangzhou's eyes.

Hongying had been waiting here for several months, and when someone finally arrived, she happily shouted:

"Yangzhou! You're finally back!"

Hongying held Ni Yangzhou's Erkang's hand with one hand and said inexplicably:

"Huh? Where's the great-grandmaster? Didn't you chase him in?"

...It turns out that people really do laugh when they are speechless. Ni Yangzhou let out a few gasps from his chest and struggled to stand up:

"master."

Ni Yangzhou's voice was weak:

"...That's the one you just knocked away."

……

Fortunately, Hongying's ejection angle was excellent, and the pure white humanoid prop was knocked to the bottom of the lake where pure spiritual power gathered.

Watching Ni Yangzhou sink to the edge of the crack, groping for a long time like a fisherman, and finally finding the prop and holding it in his hand, Hongying's heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled down.

Ni Yangzhou's Tsa-tsa, a prop that was stained with spiritual energy and looked dazzling, swam back to the shore dragging his heavy and wet Taoist robe.

Hongying was like a child who had done something wrong. She stopped sitting on the flower magic tool and cast a dust-avoiding spell on Ni Yangzhou on the shore. The moisture on the young Taoist priest's body evaporated instantly.

Ni Yangzhou was panting heavily. It had been so long since he'd returned, and he was completely unused to using his body. The lost and recovered Sumeru mustard seed had been gripped so tightly that it had left a red mark on the palm of his hand.

Hongying lowered her head to admit her mistake, her eyes meeting the small, round-headed, human-shaped flat piece.

"Yangzhou."

Hongying poked the other person's arm: "Why did Master Uncle come in here?"

Ni Yangzhou was so tired that he lay back on the ground with his head tilted back. Seeing this, Hongying took out two pills from the gourd at her waist and fed them into Ni Yangzhou's mouth.

Ni Yangzhou felt refreshed and stood up and sat up straight again.

I haven't been to the world of cultivation for a long time, and I forgot that I can take pills to restore my physical strength.

Ni Yangzhou saw that the bubbles in the sky were much fewer than before, and a vacuum zone had been cleared near the ground. On the surface, countless points of light were moving in and out of the floating bubbles. From time to time, spiritual power flowed down and gathered into the lake. Looking down again, the cracks at the bottom of the lake did not seem as wide as they were at the beginning.

Governor Ni Yangzhou sighed, "...it's a long story."

Hongying's curiosity remained undiminished, and she waited eagerly to hear the story: "Then let me make it short."

Ni Yangzhou pressed the humanoid prop against his chest and whispered with his eyes closed, "Your great-grandmaster exchanged his Dao body to pursue me. Now only his spirit remains, which I have stored in this prop... a magic weapon."

Hongying's expression was dull: "What did you exchange?"

Ni Yangzhou's face was grim: "...Tao body."
