Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation

Yan Yue clenched her spirit sword, a gentle humming from its blade as if responding to her resolve. "I promise you," she said firmly, without the slightest hesitation. Elder Feng, clutching his wound, his face pale, stared at Yan Yue and Hua Ling in horror, realizing he had completely lost his quest for the treasure. Nangong Xue, with her arms folded, observed the scene with fascination, her own curiosity brimming with curiosity about the treasure Hua Ling had mentioned.

A flicker of relief flashed in Hua Ling's eyes. She extended a transparent finger and gently tapped Yan Yue's forehead. A warm spiritual energy surged into Yan Yue's body, flowing through her limbs and bones. Yan Yue felt as if she were in a hot spring, indescribably comfortable. This spiritual energy not only healed the spiritual energy she had consumed in the previous battle, but also made her feel full of strength, and her strength subtly increased. "This is a small gift from me. I hope it can help you." Hua Ling's voice was soft, but with a hint of imperceptible sadness.

"Thank you." Yan Yue felt the power of this force, and her heart was filled with gratitude. She understood that the flower spirit gave her not only strength, but also trust and hope.

"The treasure is in the treasure hall deep within the ruins," the flower spirit pointed to the back of a stone platform hidden by vines deep within the tomb. "My companion is also trapped somewhere in the ruins. Her name is Xuelian, and she's also a spirit. If you can find her, please help me bring her back."

Yan Yue nodded, her gaze firmly fixed on the vine-covered passage. It seemed to hold endless secrets and dangers, but she showed no fear. She parted the dense vines, revealing a dark passage leading deeper into the depths. A chilling aura emanated from the depths, sending shivers down her spine.

"I will find the snow lotus and bring her back to you." Yan Yue reassured Hua Ling, then resolutely stepped into the passage. Nangong Xue hesitated for a moment, but eventually followed, full of curiosity about the treasure and the secret of the snow lotus.

The passage was deep and winding, its walls covered in ancient runes that glowed faintly. Yan Yue advanced cautiously, vigilantly observing her surroundings. She sensed the passage held many unknown dangers, and a single misstep could lead to irretrievable destruction.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, the passage suddenly opened up, revealing a vast hall. In the center of the hall stood a massive stone platform, empty and bare. Could this be the treasure hall Hua Ling had mentioned? Confused, Yan Yue looked around, searching for clues.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in the hall: "Do you think you can get the treasure so easily?"

Yan Yue was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see a man in black clothes appearing out of nowhere. He was holding a long sword with the tip pointing at Yan Yue, and there was a greedy glint in his eyes.

Gongsun Yu appeared out of nowhere. He had obviously heard the conversation between Yan Yue and Hua Ling. A sneer appeared on his lips, and his eyes were full of greed. "Do you think you can get the treasure so easily?"

Yan Yue's heart sank. She had long anticipated the unrest within the ruins, but she hadn't expected to encounter such a formidable foe so soon. She calmly placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, her eyes warily fixed on Gongsun Yu. Nangong Xue stood aside, arms folded, looking like she was enjoying the show, with no intention of intervening.

"Treasures belong to those who are destined to obtain them," Yan Yue replied calmly, "If you want it, please give it to us based on your ability."

Gongsun Yu snorted coldly, clearly unwilling to waste any more words. He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. The air around him suddenly dropped, and a biting chill spread. "You overestimate your abilities!" Before he finished speaking, countless icy spikes appeared from thin air, shooting towards Yan Yue like a rainstorm.

Yan Yue didn't dare to be careless. The spiritual power granted by the flower spirit flowed through her body. She quickly cast a fire shield. A raging fire burned around her body, melting the attacking ice spikes one by one. A sizzling sound echoed in the hall, and the air was filled with steam, blurring everyone's vision.

Seeing the ice spikes fail, Gongsun Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. He shifted his hand seals again, and a massive ice puppet formed behind him. Tall and mighty, its body translucent and crystal clear, the puppet wielded a massive ice sword, charging towards Yan Yue with a biting chill.

Yan Yue didn't dare to take it head-on. She nimbly dodged the ice puppet's attack and simultaneously pulled out a lightning-flashing spiritual saw from her storage bag. This spiritual saw was a treasure she had previously obtained in a secret realm. It was incredibly sharp and could easily cut through hard rock.

She took a deep breath and channeled her spiritual energy into the saw. Dazzling lightning flashed from the teeth. She swung the saw, engaging the ice golem in a fierce battle. Lightning and ice shards flew everywhere, and the hall echoed with a deafening crash.

The ice golem's attacks became increasingly fierce, and Yan Yue gradually began to feel the strain. While dodging the attacks, she carefully observed the golem's movements, trying to find its weaknesses.

Finally, she discovered a slightly dimmed ice crystal on the back of the ice golem, which seemed to be its energy core. Delighted, she seized the opportunity, concentrating her spiritual power on the spiritual saw and slashing fiercely at the ice golem's weak spot.

The spiritual saw, with its dazzling lightning, precisely struck the ice golem's weak spot. With a crack, a crack appeared on the golem's back and quickly spread.

Just as the ice puppet was about to shatter, Gongsun Yu suddenly smiled strangely. "Explode!" he shouted...

"Explode!" Gongsun Yu shouted, and a powerful wave of spiritual energy erupted from the ice puppet. The huge block of ice instantly shattered, transforming into countless sharp ice crystal fragments that flew in all directions like a rainstorm. The impact of the explosion was like a tidal wave, knocking Yan Yue away.

Nangong Xue saw this and quickly erected a defensive barrier to block the incoming ice fragments. A flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes; she hadn't expected Gongsun Yu to be so decisive as to self-destruct the ice puppet.

Yan Yue flipped in mid-air, adjusted her stance, and landed steadily on the ground. Her clothes were slightly disheveled, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes remained firm. Although the impact of the explosion was powerful, her spiritual energy was activated in time, dissipating most of the force, and she was not seriously injured.

She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. In this critical moment, she thought of Nong Jin. She knew that Nong Jin was also in the ruins, facing unknown dangers. She had to become stronger, so that she could fight alongside him, protect him, and everything they guarded together.

This belief filled her with fighting spirit, and her eyes became sharper. She gripped the spiritual saw tightly in her hand, looked around vigilantly, and prepared to face the next challenge.

The smoke and dust cleared, and Gongsun Yu reappeared in Yan Yue's sight. His face was pale, evidently having consumed a significant amount of his spiritual energy by self-destructing the ice puppet. But his eyes were still filled with greed as he stared intently at Yan Yue, seemingly determined not to give up on his quest for the treasure.

"You are very strong," Gongsun Yu said in a hoarse voice, "but you are no match for me."

Yan Yue ignored his provocation and silently circulated her spiritual power, preparing for the next round of attack. She knew that this battle had just begun.

At that moment, a faint light flashed from the corner of the hall. Yan Yue's heart moved, and she immediately thought of Hua Ling. She turned her head and saw that the light gradually condensed into the form of Hua Ling's spirit body.

"Thank you, you fulfilled my wish," Hua Ling's voice was weak and grateful, "My partner is here..."

Before Hua Ling could finish her words, her spirit body suddenly began to become blurry, as if it would dissipate at any moment. Yan Yue's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is your partner? Tell me!"

Hua Ling used up her last bit of strength, pointed to a passage deep in the hall, and said in a weak voice, "Over there..."

Before he finished speaking, the flower spirit's body completely dissipated, turning into starlight and disappearing into the air.

Yan Yue looked in the direction Hua Ling pointed, and saw a deep passage there. The passage was filled with a faint mist, and the surrounding walls were engraved with strange runes. It was unknown what kind of danger was hidden there.

Gongsun Yu also noticed the passage. A gleam of greed flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "It looks like the treasure is there." He flashed and rushed towards the passage... Yan Yue followed closely behind, the spiritual saw in her hand flashing... She murmured softly, "Wait for me, Nong Jin..."
