When Su Bo woke up, he found himself lying in someone else's arms, with his best junior brother, Ye Lan, standing in front of him.
"What's wrong with me?"
Su Bo was puzzled. How could he have suddenly lost consciousness?
"I'm starving."
Jiang Nan's cold voice came from above, and he then realized that this "other person" was his senior brother.
He wanted to say, "Bullshit, how could I faint from hunger!", but the feeling in his stomach told him that Jiang Nan wasn't lying to him; he was really hungry and felt weak all over.
“You can’t fast here, and you’re too tired. Your body couldn’t handle it, so you fainted.” Ye Lan, along with the other two, helped him sit up and carefully explained to him, “I have some spiritual fruits here that can fill your stomach.”
As he spoke, he took out four large peaches from his spatial storage, kept one for himself, and gave the remaining three to them.
"Thank you."
Jiang Ning accepted the gift and expressed his gratitude.
"You are welcome."
He had picked a lot of these peaches because he thought they tasted good, so giving them to these few is nothing.
"Sigh, why does this peach taste like the one I had a few days ago?"
"Don't all peaches look like this?" Su Bo took a bite; it was crisp and sweet, and seemed a little tastier than usual.
"What do you know? This peach is clearly crisper, sweeter, and more juicy. The spiritual energy on it is also incomparable to that of ordinary peaches. I have never made a mistake when it comes to food."
"Shut up."
Ye Lan watched Su Bo and Jiang Nan bickering, shook his head with a smile, and as if remembering something, asked Jiang Nan, "Did you leave a mark on the peaches on that tree?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Nan exclaimed excitedly. This must be the big peach he had been longing for.
"See, I remember correctly, don't I?"
He nudged the person next to him with his shoulder and proudly showed off to Su Bo, who rolled her eyes at him.
Jiang Ning ate quietly without saying a word, thinking about how to get out. He had just asked the Dragon Slayer Blade, but it said it couldn't remember where it was.
Ye Lan suddenly had a dagger in his hand. He carefully used the dagger to peel the peach. Little White was delicate and wouldn't eat it if it wasn't peeled.
Jiang Nan watched his actions and said, "These peaches taste good even with the skin on."
"Mm," Ye Lan responded, her hands continuing their work.
After he peeled the peach, Little White appeared in his arms, and he cut the peach into small pieces to feed it.
Jiang Nan stared wide-eyed at the beautiful "kitten" that had suddenly appeared in his arms.
"Is this your contracted spirit pet?"
Jiang Ning leaned closer to him, trying to see what kind of spirit beast it was. When it appeared earlier, Zhanlongren excitedly said that he had sensed the aura of a holy dragon.
“Hmm.” He didn’t intend to explain that they had signed a soul contract. “Its name is Little White.”
Jiang Ning fell silent, which explained why Ye Lan knew they were going to Tianshui Realm.
The other two were not so calm, especially Jiang Nan. He rushed to Ye Lan's side and stared at the beautiful "kitten" in Ye Lan's arms with a fascination. If he hadn't received strict etiquette training since childhood, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist touching it.
"It's so beautiful." Jiang Nan didn't even bother to eat the peach in her hand. The snow-white, fluffy fuzz looked so soft, and she really wanted to touch it.
"Well, it's beautiful."
Even Su Bo's eyes lit up as he looked at Xiao Bai: "I want to get a spirit pet like that in the future."
"Hmph, you stole what I was going to say."
In Jiang Nan's opinion, it's like comparing a rough pig to a fine-featured spirit pet; such a cute spirit pet should be raised by meticulous people like them.
It was common for the two to bicker, but it didn't affect their good relationship, so the other two didn't take it to heart and continued eating their peaches.
Once the four had adjusted their physical condition, they set off to find a way out. There was no spiritual energy here, and they had just calculated that the spirit stones they had on them wouldn't last long. They needed to leave as soon as possible.
"There are four passages. Which way should we go?"
Ye Lan was asking Jiang Ning. All the passages looked the same, pitch black inside without a single ray of light. Xiao Bai couldn't tell which way to go either, so he could only rely on Jiang Ning's protagonist aura.
"Let's remember the directions. We'll go to the far left one first."
Jiang Ning led the way in with the luminous pearl. Among those present, he had the highest cultivation level, and he felt it was his duty to protect them.
"Ye Lan, you go to the middle." Su Bo said, pulling Ye Lan behind Jiang Ning. He and Jiang Nan would cover the rear. He knew that Ye Lan's cultivation was above his own, but he still instinctively wanted to protect his junior brother.
"Okay." Ye Lan didn't refuse. He was holding Xiao Bai in his arms. After coming out, it didn't want to go back. Ye Lan guessed that it had been cooped up in the space for too long.
An hour later.
"Is this the place we were just in?"
"Ah."
"Go to the second one."
Two hours later.
The four of them stared blankly at the peach pits on the ground.
"Could it be that none of these roads lead to an exit?"
Yes, they've gone back to the distance.
"There are two more."
After three hours, even Jiang Ning fell silent. These passages were straight and long, and they hadn't even turned around. There was no reason for them to be back where they started.
"The last one."
This time, they didn't return to their original spot so quickly, because they encountered two people on the way who shouldn't have been together: the real Shen Feng and the "fake Shen Feng."
The group was drawn over by the sounds of fighting; they never imagined that there were people in the cultivation world engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
Ye Lan was even more surprised. She never expected that Shen Feng, who looked as handsome as a pretty boy, would be so fierce in a fight. He had even pinned the black-clad youth to the ground, making him look like he was at a disadvantage.
Seeing that there were people watching the commotion, the two paused, but taking advantage of the opportunity, the black-clad youth kicked Shen Feng, and Jiang Ning teleported up and pinned him to the ground.
Jiang Ning pressed down on Shen Feng. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, but this "ten years" came far too quickly.
The boy stood up, dusted himself off, and didn't care that others were interfering in their affairs.
"You dare touch me? Aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Sword Sect's revenge?" Shen Feng threatened, looking at the sword held to his neck.
Jiang Ning said as if he had heard a joke: "These are all our people. It's normal for someone to die in the Cloud Cave. Are you not allowed to believe that the young sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect died in an accident?"
"Heh," Shen Feng snorted lightly, "Don't be too smug. I've already sent a message to the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Tell me, if they find out that I died at the hands of the young master of the Green Mountain Sect, do you think your father can still hold onto his position as the leader of the alliance?"
As if to prove his point, Shen Feng revealed the communication artifact he was holding. This was a unique communication artifact of the Heavenly Sword Sect, which could send messages using divine sense and would never lose contact no matter where one was.
Jiang Ning wasn't annoyed that Jiang Ning had guessed his identity. He said indifferently, "The moment you destroyed our junior sister's inner core, the feud between these two sects was established. Adding your life won't be a big deal."
As he spoke, he pressed the sword against Shen Feng's neck even harder, and blood could be faintly seen seeping from beneath the blade.
"I didn't order anyone to take your junior sister's inner core, but I'll accept it if you pin it on me." Seeing that he couldn't threaten Jiang Ning, Shen Feng changed his approach again, "If you let me go, I'll help you find all the herbs on the repair pill."
Why should I believe you can find it?
"The Heavenly Sword Sect has the Seven-Leaf Paris Flower, which is the hardest to find in the Repairing Pill. As for the other herbs, the Heavenly Sword Sect can go to the Medicine Sect to get them." Fearing that Jiang Ning wouldn't believe him, Shen Feng continued, "The Heavenly Sword Sect has formed an alliance with the Medicine Clan. We help them refine weapons, and they unconditionally provide us with pills and spiritual herbs."
Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Giving you a chance to live is not impossible, but you have to do as I say."
In the end, Jiang Ning released Shen Feng. To be precise, he never intended to kill Shen Feng from the beginning. His ultimate goal was to obtain the materials for the Repair Pill. You should know that the Medicine Sect has the most spiritual herbs, and the wealthiest sect in the Southern Continent is the Heavenly Sword Sect, the number one weapon-refining sect. However, how to force Shen Feng to agree requires an opportunity.
Jiang Ning made him swear an oath using his inner demons, promising to deliver the healing pill's spiritual herbs to the Green Mountain Sect within ten days of leaving the Cloud Cave, just in case. Jiang Ning also used his token as a direct disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect as collateral, and took several of his superior magical artifacts as interest before letting him go.
Shen Feng wasn't stupid. In exchange for it, he asked Jiang Ning and the others to help him find a way out.
So the four became six, and the young man, Gu Yu of the Poison Sect, also joined them.
Jiang Ning wouldn't be foolish enough to let someone of unknown origin follow them. This time, the young man conscientiously introduced his sect and name, but he didn't mention why he and Shen Feng fought without using spiritual power.
However, after another half hour, the six of them sat in the same spot where they had started, staring silently at the few peach pits.
