The young-looking face of the male cultivator is shadowy in the water. His skin is like gelatin, his eyebrows are like distant daisy, and his long ink-like hair is pulled up, hanging from the bun on the top of his head to his waist. Even though she was in the water, her hair still hung naturally, just flowing and not messy.
His face has a handsome and beautiful look that matches the dark blue water around him, and his temperament is generally calm and steady, but thick.
The male cultivator was obviously not a polite person. He touched his lips and asked directly: "Jiang Nian?"
At the same time, the spirit snake pressed down heavily from Ji Xuan's head, and bounced violently, drawing an arc in the air like a spring, accurately landing on the male cultivator's chest, and followed the male cultivator's openness to here. The collar climbed in.
There were obvious undulations under the male cultivator's clothes, and a small snake crawled under it, but the male cultivator's body remained motionless, as if he had become accustomed to it.
Ji Xuan: "......Yes."
Due to the little snake's unusual behavior, she had some very familiar associations.
Male cultivator: "Xiao Nian, I am An Ning's Shuanghua, and I'm here to find you."
The spirit snake emerged from the man's cuffs and coiled into a bracelet on his wrist.
Ji Xuan said to the system: "I guess this is the 'Snake King' that Qin Sang said made Taoist An Ning 'sense-conscious'."
System: "I guess so too. He is indeed good-looking, and I am ashamed of myself."
Ji Xuan: "Can't you squeeze it out?"
System: "I can't pinch it out. Look at your shell. Does it look so good-looking?"
That really doesn't happen.
Shuanghua then said: "Just call me Shuanghua, Jiang Nian, I have been ordered to take you back to Wansheng Peak."
Ji Xuan raised his hand and said, "Hello, Senior Shuanghua. I'll leave it to you then. Thank you very much, Senior."
Even if this person is not the demon under Taoist An Ning, but a "bad guy" with ulterior motives, with the speed at which the water ball is escaping, Ji Xuan deeply believes that he cannot escape from his grasp. In this case, she chose to believe that Shuanghua and Taoist An Ning did have a contractual relationship.
Shuanghua's spiritual power vibrated, forming a magic circle around the two of them. He cast the spell in the void, drawing mysterious runes in the water with his fingers, and pushed the palms of his hands outward.
As a demon clan, he can release such complex human spells so smoothly.
But why didn't he teleport when he just came here? He even swam here in person, still in human form.
Shuanghua actually teleported nearby, but he couldn't find Jiang Nian with his spiritual consciousness, so he had to go into battle in person.
After the skill was completed, Shuanghua's palms were in the water and he grabbed Ji Xuan from the air. Ji Xuan felt dizzy, and there were strange lights around him. Time and space changed, and a familiar scenery soon appeared in front of him.
It was the small pavilion by the lake when I first met Taoist An Ning.
"Wait a moment." Shuanghua said. He didn't know what technique he had completed. A small room of about ten square meters appeared out of thin air next to the pavilion, floating and fixed on the water.
He nodded to Ji Xuan and disappeared into the air.
Ji Xuan: "...Does this mean you want me to come in?"
System: "Probably? Don't guess what the beauty is thinking."
Ji Xuan: "..."
She walked into the small house and felt that if she really wanted to catch her, regardless of whether she was worthy of being caught, it would not be worth creating such a realistic environment. In this case, this place should indeed be above Wansheng Peak, An Ning said In the long cave.
Three small butterflies were held in Ji Xuan's hands. The small green ones wrapped the water banyan tree and the small yellow ones were held in Ji Xuan's arms. A series of life forms walked into the small house.
The familiar spiritual energy from Wansheng Peak entered the body, and the dry meridians absorbed the soft spiritual energy again, and the body and soul relaxed for a while.
Ji Xuan let go of all the little animals, enlarged Xiao Huang to his prototype, and let them do whatever they wanted. She carried very little spirit beast rations with her, so she laid them out in a small pile, waiting for Xiao Huang or Butterfly to replenish some energy when they were interested.
There is a large lake in Taoist An Ning's cave. In theory, the spirit beasts are not short of water, but since it is Taoist An Ning's cave, it is difficult to say whether the water is poisonous.
Ji Xuan chose to wait silently for some spiritual power to accumulate before releasing the water condensation technique.
The water banyan tree and Xiao Green can soak in the water, and Xiao Huang and the butterflies need to drink water. It is necessary to maintain a clean water source. She tried her best to make a small puddle that lasted for a long time and floated above the ground. Some distance away, you can replenish your spiritual power at any time.
Then, he asked the system: "I didn't have time to ask just now, can the three spiritual butterflies I contracted with my body be used by other bodies and souls?"
The butterfly was brought out by her very smoothly.
The system replied: "Yes. You are not level enough now, so you may not be able to see that the souls of all bodies will appear next to the soul of the main body. Theoretically, it is equivalent to all the identities overlapping in one place. I read in the book that it says that entering the building Once you are established, you will be able to see the sea of consciousness internally, and you may discover something by then."
"However, they are visible to me. I can help you operate it and spend experience points to extend the contract between the spirit beast and you to the required identity. The cultivation level of the three butterflies is too low, and the water dumpling and Shuanghua's cultivation seems to be very high. You have already generated a lot of experience points by interacting with them, and the binding between Butterfly and 'Jiang Nian' has been operated."
"It's so complicated." Ji Xuan said.
"You can't see the status of your soul now." The system further explained, "In fact, it is equivalent to having many clones, but the clones cannot appear at the same time."
Ji Xuan's eyes turned to the butterflies, which were flying gently and shallowly in the room and were well adapted to the waterless environment.
She ordered the butterfly: "Land!"
The spiritual power and consciousness seemed to be a bit stagnant, and the commands could not be effectively output to the butterfly, which showed no response.
Ji Xuan: "Land!!"
Or not.
System: "Wait a minute, I'll spend some more experience points to strengthen it."
Half a minute later: "Okay now, try again."
Ji Xuan said again: "Get closer."
The butterfly flew over in circles and it was done.
Ji Xuan asked: "Is it expensive? Can people with different identities communicate with each other about the existence of spiritual beasts?"
System: "It's not bad. Both Butterfly and you have relatively low cultivation levels, so it's not too expensive."
Ji Xuan was so exhausted that she stopped asking questions, closed her eyes and fell back to rest, waiting for Taoist An Ning or Shuang Hua to come to her again.
This wait lasted five days. When she fully recovered and recognized the water banyan tree as its owner, she finally waited until the master showed up.
*
Taoist An Ning left the sect for business. When he came back, he was buried among piles of communication charms. Among them was the jade slip of the report sent to her by Liang Sisong, the leader of the sect.
The jade slip stated that the conflict between her disciple An Ning and the disciples of other elders on the same mountain peak was related to the spirit beast she had personally contracted with. She had told many disciples about the matter and left it to be dealt with further when the elders felt that it needed to be resolved.
