Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 90: Small Temple

Lingyuan Cave is a very special place. The area around it is surrounded by green all year round. Although the spiritual energy here is not very strong, it contains very pure wood elements, which is suitable for growing various medicinal herbs. Many doctors and monks who practice wood-attributed exercises will come here for retreat.

Some people say that this place was the medicine garden of a powerful sect a thousand years ago, and it grew all kinds of rare treasures. Later, the sect fell into decline and it became what it is today.

Some people also said that there must be a magical artifact buried deep underground, otherwise why would it be so lush and green all year round? But no matter how these people dug, they found nothing.

Some people also said that maybe some powerful person had set up some kind of heaven-defying formation nearby, which led to the current environment here, but no one could find evidence for these speculations.

There was a small temple not far from Lingyuan Cave. Liu Qingqing was pulled in reluctantly by Xiao Yichen holding his hand. She wanted to find the giraffe she had just seen on the roadside. It was the first time she had seen it. After all, apart from seeing some magical beasts, these wild animals rarely entered her life.

"Brother, let go, ah..." As she said that, she bit towards Xiao Yichen's hand that was holding hers. As a result, she bit nothing except the glove. After all, the palm under Xiao Yichen's glove was condensed by the power of heavenly tribulation.

"Qingqing, stop making trouble. That giraffe is not delicious." Xiao Yichen held his forehead helplessly. Just now, when Liu Qingqing was looking at the giraffe's neck, her saliva was almost flowing out, and she kept muttering that such a long duck neck could be eaten for several days.

"Hmph... You haven't even eaten it, how can it not be delicious?" She wanted to break free, but Xiao Yichen didn't give her a chance and dragged her into the temple.

"Why are you in this dilapidated temple? There's no one here and there are spider webs everywhere." She covered her nose with her hands in disgust and looked around.

Various burnt incense sticks were placed in the temple, covered with dust. A statue similar to the land god was facing them in front of them, but it was also covered with cracks. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

Xiao Yichen was walking around in the temple. Before he got close to here, he was attracted by a faint breath. He followed the breath to find this place. He wanted to see what was here.

Seeing that Xiao Yichen ignored her, Liu Qingqing was bored and pulled Xiao Zi from his shoulder.

"Xiao Zi, do you think my brother is a bad person? He won't let me eat anything. Look at you. I haven't seen you for more than a month, and you've been tortured like this. You must be hungry."

At this moment, Xiao Zi still looked sick in her arms. The influence of the Yin Spring had not yet disappeared. He looked at Liu Qingqing with tired eyes and nodded weakly, which meant that he completely agreed with what she had just said.

On the other side, Xiao Yichen searched carefully in the temple, but there was nothing here except some decorations and the statue, which made him feel confused.

"That aura is still there, but why can't I find the source? What exactly is it?" He pinched his chin and slowly walked back to the statue.

At first glance, he looks very similar to the Dragon Kingdom's land god in the previous world, a little old man, hunched over, leaning on a cane, with a kind face and a smiling expression that makes him very approachable.

I sensed the breath again, and it was indeed there. It was very weak, but it was always there.

After searching in vain, Xiao Yichen frowned under his mask, shook his head, walked towards Liu Qingqing, prepared to take her away and continue heading towards Lingyuan Cave.

Just as he turned around, a sigh suddenly reached his ears, and he was so scared that he immediately turned around and looked behind him.

"who……"

Liu Qingqing, who was originally teasing Xiao Zi, was startled by his shout. She immediately ran over with Xiao Zi in her arms, hugging Xiao Yichen's thigh somewhat uneasily.

"Brother? What did you see?"

Xiao Yichen stared at the statue in front of him. The voice just now seemed to come from that position, but after staring at it for a while, he didn't find anything strange. He also kept his insight technique turned on, but it was just an ordinary stone sculpture.

"It's nothing, maybe I saw it wrong." He comforted Liu Qingqing behind him, looked at the stone sculpture again, and was suddenly attracted by a necklace on the chest of the stone sculpture.

"This necklace? It's always been here? Why didn't I notice it just now?"

However, before he could continue to investigate, Xiao Yichen's eyes suddenly turned black as his consciousness was pulled out of his body by an extremely powerful suction force.

The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him had completely changed. The surroundings were no longer the small dilapidated temple as before, but an endless galaxy of stars. At this moment, he was standing in the void, but the touch of his feet made him feel as if he was still standing on the ground, extremely solid.

"Illusion?" he murmured.

The statue in front also disappeared, replaced by a ball of green light.

His arm was shaken, and he looked around, but saw nothing. A trace of panic flashed across his eyes, and his body trembled unconsciously.

"Brother? What's wrong with you?" Liu Qingqing's voice sounded again, making him frown a little more. He looked at the position of his arm, and his panicked heart was barely suppressed by him.

"Qingqing?" Xiao Yichen asked, staring at that position.

"Brother, don't scare me. Scaring others can be fatal." Liu Qingqing's voice was obviously frightened, and it was trembling a little. As a result, Xiao Yichen felt that Liu Qingqing's strength in hugging his thighs had increased a little.

He looked around again, and countless twinkling stars gathered here to form this magnificent sea of ​​stars. Apart from that, there was only the green light in front. He looked at Liu Qingqing who was looking around, and it was obvious that she really didn't see this strange sight.

"It seems I'm the only one drawn into this illusion?"

Thinking of this, he followed his memory and really touched Liu Qingqing's head.

"You get out of here first."

Liu Qingqing guessed what he had encountered and said anxiously:

"No, I'll stay here with you."

Accompanied by a hissing sound, it was obviously Xiao Zi.

"Leave first, I'll be out later. I can't move freely while you're here." Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice. He couldn't even see the other party now. If there was any danger later, he wouldn't be able to protect Liu Qingqing.

Hearing the anger in his words, Liu Qingqing hummed in frustration, and realized that staying here would only drag down Xiao Yichen. After a while, the sound of the temple door being opened was heard, and then it was closed by a huge force.

As soon as Liu Qingqing left the small temple, the door was closed by an unknown force the next moment. She was so frightened that she immediately stepped back. Looking at the closed temple door, her eyes were full of worry, and she shouted towards the small temple:

"Brother, I'm out."

Hearing the voice, Xiao Yichen smiled slightly and murmured:

"It seems they're just targeting me. That's good, I didn't make things difficult for them."

Then he looked at the green light again, and approached it step by step. When he was close, he slowly stretched out his hand and touched the stone sculpture.

However, before he could retract his hand, a green light burst out in the next instant, so bright that he could not open his eyes at all.
