The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

Xing Xuanli asked the Sun and Moon Palace disciples, "How many spirit beast cores have you received?"

The Sun Moon Palace disciple was stunned at first, then replied respectfully, "In reply to the Palace Master, we received dozens of spirit beast cores this time."

Xing Xuanli frowned slightly and asked, "What level of spirit beast cores are these?"

The disciple quickly replied, "Most of them are low- to mid-level spirit beast cores, with only a few high-level ones."

Xing Xuanli nodded thoughtfully and said, "Keep working hard to obtain more high-level spirit beast cores to increase our strength.

The Sun and Moon Palace disciples clasped their fists and saluted: "We will follow the Palace Master's instructions."

Xing Xuanli then asked, "Do you have any spirit beasts in mind?"

The Sun Moon Palace disciple lowered his head in thought for a moment, then said, "Palace Master, we are quite interested in the Ice Flame Qilin, but it is extremely ferocious and difficult to tame."

Xing Xuanli raised her eyebrows slightly. "Ice Flame Qilin? This spirit beast is indeed powerful. If we can tame it, it will be of great benefit to our Sun and Moon Palace. Do you have any plans to tame it?"

The disciple looked embarrassed and said, "Palace Master, we don't have a complete plan yet. We need to think about it carefully."

Xing Xuanli nodded gently: "Well, we can't rush this matter. We should carefully investigate its habits and weaknesses before making any plans."

The disciple responded respectfully, "Yes, Palace Master."

Xing Xuanli continued, "Where are the others?"

The disciple quickly responded, "Palace Master, some of the others are interested in the Netherworld White Tiger, while others have their eyes on the Phantom Spirit Fox. However, these spirit beasts each have their own challenges and are not easily tamed."

Xing Xuanli folded her arms across her chest and after a moment's thought, she said, "The Nether White Tiger and the Phantom Fox are both rare spirit beasts. Have you ever analyzed their characteristics and the possibility of taming them?"

The disciple's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he nervously replied, "Palace Master, we have discussed it, but we haven't formed a definite plan yet."

Xing Xuanli's face darkened and she said, "Since we have a goal, we must formulate a comprehensive plan as soon as possible and not miss the opportunity."

The disciple nodded quickly: "We will follow the Palace Master's instructions and speed up the progress."

Xing Xuanli said to Yun Mohan, "Han, I will lead the Sun and Moon Palace disciples to search for spirit beast cores. You go with my elder brother and the others. Don't worry, don't worry about me. I am capable of protecting myself."

Yun Mohan frowned, his eyes filled with worry: "Li'er, this trip will surely be filled with dangers. How can I be at ease?"

Xing Xuanli gently held Yun Mohan's hand and comforted him, "Han, you have to trust me. The Sun and Moon Palace disciples are well-trained, and I am not completely unprepared. I will definitely be able to handle any situation."

Yun Mohan looked at her deeply, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Then you must be careful. If there is any danger, send a message to me in time."

Xing Xuanli smiled and nodded: "Well, you have to take care of yourself too."

Yun Mohan sighed helplessly: "Okay, then take care of yourself."

Xing Xuanli turned around and resolutely embarked on a journey to find the spirit core of the spirit beast with the disciples of the Sun and Moon Palace. Yun Mohan looked at her departing back, his heart full of worry.

Xing Xuanli led the disciples of the Sun and Moon Palace in a different direction from them.

Along the way, Xing Xuanli looked serious, her gaze fixed firmly ahead. Behind her, the Sun and Moon Palace disciples all followed her steps with nervous expressions.

The mountain path was rugged, lined with lush trees. The occasional roar of unknown beasts added to the tension. Xing Xuanli, however, showed no fear. She walked steadily, her sword tightly gripped.

One disciple couldn't help but ask, "Palace Master, can we really find the spirit beast's spirit core this time?"

Xing Xuanli looked back at him and said firmly, "As long as we work together, we will definitely gain something."

After hearing her words, everyone felt a little relieved and continued on their way.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they arrived at a valley filled with mist and a mysterious atmosphere.

Xing Xuanli stopped and carefully observed the surrounding environment, secretly alert in her heart.

Xing Xuanli saw a purple vine, like a nimble snake, winding along the stone wall. Its vibrant and mysterious color stood out against the gray background.

Xing Xuanli's heart trembled, her intuition telling her that this vine was unusual. She approached cautiously, carefully observing its texture and growth. A subtle light seemed to flow through the vine, as if it contained some mysterious power.

The Sun Moon Palace disciples behind him also gathered around, and one of them said in surprise, "Palace Master, this vine is very strange. Could it be some rare thing?"

Xing Xuanli frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Don't act rashly. Let's observe first."

At this moment, the purple vines suddenly trembled slightly, as if disturbed by their arrival.

Suddenly, the mythical beast Suzaku in Yuxiao's space said, "Master, take this vine."

Xing Xuanli was startled, secretly pondering Suzaku's suggestion. She knew Suzaku was a man of extraordinary insight, and since he had asked her to take the vine, it must have something special about it.

She turned to look at the Sun Moon Palace disciples behind her and said, "Wait here. I'll go see what secrets this vine holds."

The disciples responded in unison: "Yes, Palace Master, be careful."

Xing Xuanli approached the purple vine again and communicated with Suzaku in her mind: "Suzaku, how do we subdue this vine?"

Suzaku's voice rang out in her mind: "Master, you need to infuse it with spiritual energy, try to establish a connection with it, and then subdue it with the power of the Jade Flute."

Xing Xuanli took a deep breath and, as Suzaku had instructed, slowly injected her spiritual energy into the vines. At first, the vines seemed to resist, trembling violently. Xing Xuanli gritted her teeth and increased her spiritual energy output.

Finally, with her persistence, the vines gradually calmed down, resonating slightly with her spiritual power. Xing Xuanli took the opportunity to activate the power of the jade flute. With a flash of light, the purple vines were instantly absorbed into the jade flute space.

Xing Xuanli breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to the disciples, and said, "Let's continue moving forward."

The Purple Ghost Vine can communicate with its owner's mind and sense his emotions. When the owner is in danger, it will automatically release its powerful force to protect him.

It can also provide the owner with a constant supply of spiritual power support, helping the owner to break through bottlenecks and improve strength on the road of cultivation.

In battle, the Purple Ghost Vine can flexibly change its form according to the will of its master, turning into a tough whip or weaving into a solid shield, adding strength to the master's victory over the enemy.

Not only that, the Purple Ghost Vine also has the ability to heal. When its owner is injured, it will emit a soft light to accelerate the healing of the wound.

On the other side, a female disciple from Yun Mohan's (Nangong Han) team saw that Xing Xuanli was not with Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), so she stepped forward and asked, "Regent, why is the Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Palace not with you anymore? Regent, if you want, I can also..."

Yun Mo glanced at her coldly, the chill in his eyes instantly silencing the female disciple. He said in a cold tone, "How dare you say that? Do you think your life is too long?"

The female disciple turned pale with fear and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "Prince Regent, spare my life. I was confused for a moment and said something I shouldn't have said."

Yun Mohan frowned and waved his hand impatiently: "Go away! Don't appear in front of this king again."

The others around him were all silent, not daring to speak. Yun Mohan was secretly worried about Xing Xuanli and had no time to pay attention to these people's thoughts.

The disciples of Lingyun Sect mocked, "You, the Hehuan Sect, specialize in shameless activities, and you even dream of seducing the Regent. You are really overestimating your own abilities."

The Hehuan Sect's female disciple's face flushed red with rage, her eyebrows raised, and she shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! It's not your turn to dictate what the Hehuan Sect does!"

A disciple of the Lingyun Sect snorted coldly, "Hmph, the facts are right before your eyes, yet you still dare to quibble. Your Hehuan Sect has always been known for its charm, shamelessly seducing others everywhere. Now you're actually setting your sights on the Regent. This is simply wishful thinking!"

The female disciple of the Hehuan Sect gnashed her teeth and said, "You are slandering us! We in the Hehuan Sect also rely on our own cultivation techniques. It's not as bad as you say."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) ignored the quarrel between the Hehuan Sect and the Lingyun Sect. His only concern was Xing Xuanli. His brow furrowed, his gaze occasionally darting in the direction Xing Xuanli had left, muttering to himself, "I wonder if Li'er's journey will be smooth? Will she encounter any danger?"

He paced back and forth, feeling restless. He seemed to have automatically blocked out the noise around him, and his mind was filled with the image of Xing Xuanli.

"She is so stubborn, she will definitely not show weakness easily. But if she really encounters a strong enemy, how will she deal with it?" Yun Mohan became more and more anxious as he thought about it, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

At this time, Yu Yixuan beside him said softly: "Third brother, don't worry too much. My sister-in-law is capable of protecting herself and will definitely return safely."

Yun Mohan sighed: "I hope so." But the worry in his heart did not diminish at all.

Lin Luochuan also said: "Yes, third brother, your sister-in-law is capable now, don't worry too much."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) turned his head slightly to look at Lin Luochuan, his brows still furrowed, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, how can I not be worried? The journey is difficult and there are too many unknown dangers."

Lin Luochuan patted Yun Mohan on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Third brother, you must believe in your sister-in-law's strength and wisdom. She has led the disciples of the Sun and Moon Palace to face many challenges, and I believe this time will be no different."

Yun Mohan sighed, his eyes still filled with worry: "Brother, I understand the truth, but I just can't let it go."

Lin Luochuan smiled understandingly, "Third brother, your deep affection for my sister-in-law is touching. But excessive worrying won't help. Why don't we focus on the immediate matters first and wait for my sister-in-law to return so that she can have a stable life."

Yun Mohan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Brother, what you said makes sense, but I'm still worried."

Gu Beichen also echoed: "Yes, Third Brother, don't worry, Third Sister-in-law will handle it."

Yun Mohan's (Nangong Han) frown relaxed a little, but the worry in his eyes still persisted. He said slowly, "I hope so. It's just that I'm always feeling anxious."

Gu Beichen comforted him, "Third brother, Third Sister-in-law has always been smart and clever, and she also has excellent martial arts skills. She will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. There is no point in us worrying here, so why not deal with things here first?"

Yun Mohan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "I understand what you said, but I just can't help thinking about it."

Lin Luochuan continued, "Third brother, we must have faith in your sister-in-law. I believe she will return safely and reunite with us soon."

Yun Mohan nodded slightly: "Well, that's the only way. Let's move on." Although he said this, his steps seemed a little heavy, and he was still worried about Xing Xuanli's safety.

Luo Lingshan stared at Lin Luochuan and the other two from afar, her eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, and she muttered angrily in her heart: "They always didn't like me appearing in front of (Nangong Han) in the past. Humph, these self-righteous guys, why do they stop me from approaching the Regent? How am I, Luo Lingshan, not worthy of him?" Her eyes widened with anger, and her eyeballs seemed to be bulging out.

"How can I compare to Xing Xuanli? My looks are stunning; my talents are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; and my family background is that of a distinguished family. Xing Xuanli, what's more, knows only a few martial arts and commands the Sun and Moon Palace? What's so great about that?" The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her delicate face was now distorted by anger, and her once delicate features took on a sinister look.

"They are just relying on their good relationship with the Regent to target me everywhere. Just wait and see, one day I will make them look at me with new eyes and regret stopping me today." She gasped for breath, her chest heaving violently like an angry little lion.

Luo Lingshan took a deep breath, trying to calm the rage within her, but it burned like a burning weed, unstoppable. Her eyes were still filled with resentment and unwillingness. The resentment was like winter frost, chilling; the unwillingness was like a burning flame, blazing and frantic. "I must earn the favor of the Regent, and let them all know that I, Luo Lingshan, am not to be trifled with." She vowed silently in her heart, each word pierced through her teeth, filled with determination and resolve.

Then, she stamped her foot fiercely, sending dust flying beneath her feet. Filled with anger and resentment, she turned and left. Her departing figure was filled with stubbornness and persistence, as if telling everyone that she would not give up easily.

On the other side, after Xing Xuanli subdued Ziyou Lingman, she took a short rest and then led the disciples of the Sun and Moon Palace to a treasure hunting spot.

The scenery along the way was picturesque, but no one was in the mood to appreciate it. Xing Xuanli looked serious, thinking about the unknown challenges she was about to face.

The treasure hunting spot is located in a deep valley, surrounded by clouds and mist, exuding a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.

As they entered the valley, an ancient and powerful pressure came over them. Xing Xuanli stopped and raised her hand to signal the disciples to be careful.

A disciple whispered, "Palace Master, this place looks quite dangerous. Can we really find the treasure?"

Xing Xuanli said with a determined look, "Now that we're here, we have to give it a try no matter what. Everyone, be vigilant and don't let your guard down."

The crowd continued to move forward. The road under their feet was bumpy and uneven. Occasionally, strange lights flashed on the stone walls beside them, as if hinting at something.

Xing Xuanli carefully observed her surroundings, not missing any subtle clues. Suddenly, she found a faint stone door in front of her, with complex runes engraved on it.

She walked forward and gently touched the runes, trying to decipher the mystery within them.
