I am a winner with Chinese poetry
Chapter 180 Climbing the Peak
"This is...!" Gu Yunzhou's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment as he stared at the bizarre scene before him. When the tokens finally rushed towards him like meteors, he subconsciously reached out to grab them. The moment he touched them, he felt a warm sensation in his palms, as if he had grasped a blazing flame.
Upon closer inspection, one discovers that these tokens are delicate and smooth in texture, as warm as jade to the touch, yet at the same time emit a faint sense of heat, which amazes one.
"This is Wen Ling, which means we've successfully passed the test of Ming Shen Cave! Great! I actually got two tokens! This trip to Shushan Holy Land is definitely a sure win!"
Zhu Chenxu, standing nearby, was filled with excitement. As he spoke, the surrounding scenery rapidly shifted. Everyone felt a flash of light before their eyes. In the blink of an eye, the horrific, eerie cave had vanished. In its place was a completely different scene—they were now at the foot of a towering mountain, surrounded by lush green grass and vibrant flowers, a breathtaking beauty. Around them lay a multitude of unconscious fellow trialists.
"Senior Brother Meng, Senior Sister Fu, it's great that they are all fine!" All the people who had been dead were now lying safely at the bottom of the mountain. Gu Yunzhou took a closer look and found that except for the two who escaped in the middle of the journey, all the others were there.
"Brother Zhu, is this Wen Ling the thing I was thinking of?" Seeing that everyone was fine, Gu Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Zhu Chenxu and asked.
Upon hearing Gu Yunzhou's question, Zhu Chenxu's face immediately lit up with a brilliant smile. He nodded excitedly and replied, "Hey, we're truly blessed today! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to obtain such a precious treasure! Even if I unfortunately fail the next test, as long as I have this Wenling, I will be able to exchange it for a very useful item in the sea of books before the end of the trial! This trip was truly worthwhile! To be honest, this Wenling is an extremely rare and precious item. I've only heard of it before, but I never expected to have the honor of holding it in my own hands today!"
As he spoke, Zhu Chenxu couldn't help but take out the Wen Ling that he had just put into the Wen Palace. He held it in his hands and played with it repeatedly with great joy, as if he couldn't let it go. After a long while, he seemed to remember something and reluctantly put the Wen Ling back into the Wen Palace.
"I've heard that the Yunzhou is very important. You should keep it well and never show it to anyone easily!" Jiang Liunian was also very happy, but he still did not forget to give a warning.
"Thank you, Brother Gu, for your kindness today. Don't worry, we will both keep this matter a secret!" The other two who were still awake also put away Wen Ling with complicated but happy expressions, and then said solemnly to Gu Yunzhou.
It can be said that they are lucky. They persevered to the end and have achieved what they have today.
"I just happened to be here. Let's encourage each other!" Gu Yunzhou replied.
"Okay, what should we do next? We don't know when Senior Brother Meng and the others will wake up!" Zhu Chenxu looked up at the mountain that was towering into the clouds and had no visible peak. He knew that this was the route they needed to take next, but when he saw his companions lying on the ground, he felt a little discouraged.
"It's alright. In my opinion, he should be able to regain consciousness soon. Let's take advantage of this moment to quickly adjust our condition!" Gu Yunzhou appeared quite calm and composed, not a trace of anxiety on his face. Just now, he had keenly noticed that everyone's horrific injuries had completely healed. Not only that, even the Wen Qi that had been completely depleted in the fierce battle was now refilling everyone's Wen Palace like a tide.
This scene made it seem as if the thrilling and dangerous battle just now was just a dream. However, although his physical condition had recovered as before, Gu Yunzhou still felt a faint sense of fatigue deep in his heart after the tension.
"That's absolutely right. We really need to make some adjustments and conserve our energy so that we can be more confident in facing the many unknown tests that will come later!" Jiang Liunian on the side nodded in agreement, then glanced around and found a relatively flat and open place. He sat down cross-legged without hesitation, closed his eyes slightly, and quickly entered a state of breathing and cultivation.
Time passed quietly, and after about an incense stick of time, Meng Jin and the others who had been unconscious finally opened their eyes one after another and slowly regained consciousness. When they heard the detailed explanation from Zhu Chenxu and the others, they all had a look of disbelief and trance on their faces.
Obviously, they found it difficult to fully accept and digest what had just happened. However, after a lot of hard thinking and recollection, they finally reluctantly accepted this incredible fact.
Immediately afterwards, they all turned their gazes towards Gu Yunzhou, who was standing not far away. Their eyes were filled with complex and indescribable emotions: gratitude, admiration, and even a bit of awe...
"I never imagined it would be like this! My father once said, 'There are always people better than you, and there are always things better than you.' I used to think it was an exaggeration, but after experiencing it myself today, I finally understand its profound meaning!"
Among them, Meng Jin's background was arguably the most noble, prominent, and extraordinary. After all, their family currently boasted a formidable Semi-Saint personally presiding over it! Beyond that, there were five or six powerful individuals who had reached the realm of Void Saint, as well as countless great Confucian scholars. It was no exaggeration to say that theirs was a supremely powerful family.
As the legitimate son and grandson of this large family, Meng Jin had demonstrated remarkable talent since childhood. Since then, he had been meticulously nurtured and taught by his family, and his path to success had been smooth sailing, with virtually no setbacks or failures.
However, during this battle with the legendary demon, he was ruthlessly killed on the spot with just one move. Only then did he realize, as if waking from a dream, that he had actually underestimated the heroes of this world.
Hearing Meng Jin's words, Gu Yunzhou on the side quickly responded modestly, "Senior Brother Meng, you're truly too modest! In fact, if it weren't for the courage and fearlessness of you all rushing forward, risking yourselves to test the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, how could I have created such a perfect opportunity to observe the situation and distinguish right from wrong? Therefore, what we have achieved today is entirely the result of everyone's cooperation and mutual support!"
