Chapter 1024: Inner Valley
"Brother Wuchen, the fire in the cave is out.
After a while, Leng Baihu ran back from the cave again. Xiao Chen turned around and took a look into the cave. Seeing that the sparks had gone out, he nodded slightly, "Yes, let's go."
The two of them had just rested for a short time, and their internal strength had not yet been fully restored. Now they were about to start their Qinggong all the way over the mountains and ridges. The wind was getting colder and colder, and there was a rustling sound in the entire valley.
The two fell to a stream, and saw silver waves rippling in the stream. Several small carp were frightened away by the footsteps of the two, causing ripples in the water.
Leng Baihu stopped, took a breath, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wuchen, what's the matter? It's so urgent..."
"Shh..."
Xiao Chen made a silence gesture. At this moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet. Only the cold wind blowing from the pine forest across the stream made a whistling sound.
Seeing his solemn expression, Leng Baihu also became alert and felt the changes in the aura nearby. After a while, he turned around, looked at Xiao Chen and whispered, "There is no one nearby..."
"kindness."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, but at this moment he still didn't let go of his vigilance. Seeing him looking at him motionlessly, Leng Baihu seemed to understand something immediately. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. Since everyone has come in, there is nothing to be afraid of. They Isn’t it just that there are too many people…”
In fact, what Xiao Chen is worried about now is that if Xiao Meng'er really draws the attention of those outside, especially the people from the Yun Sect, to herself, or if she also wants to look for the Flower of Worry, then The most dangerous person is not himself, but Leng Baihu.
"We must be careful along the way. We must not stay in any place for too long or leave traces of our breath."
At this moment, Xiao Chen's tone was calm, but Leng Baihu could feel from his eyes that he was speaking very seriously now.
"If you have rested well, keep walking. We will enter the inner valley within one day."
"kindness!"
Leng Baihu nodded vigorously, then slowly raised his hands, took a deep breath, then settled in his Dantian, and quickly adjusted his internal strength. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Brother Wuchen, let's go!"
"kindness.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, said no more, and immediately went to the other side of the stream with him.
The next journey lasted for an unknown amount of time. By the time the sky dawned, Leng Baihu was almost exhausted. Xiao Chen had to stop and restore his internal strength, otherwise he might have collapsed before reaching the inner valley.
"Can you still hold on?" Seeing that he was panting but still holding on, Xiao Chen asked.
"No, it's okay..."
Leng Baihu took a breath. Although he was young, he was very stubborn. Xiao Chen handed him a pill and said, "This pill can help you quickly restore your internal strength, but the potency of the medicine is too strong. You can divide it into Eight portions.”
"Is it so powerful..."
Leng Baihu took the elixir from his hand and carefully divided it into eight pieces with a dagger. After taking one pill, his Dantian area immediately felt like fire. Perhaps the effect of the medicine was too strong for a mortal body to bear. At first, it was seasonal. He was in some pain and discomfort, but soon after, he felt full of inner energy, as if all the inner energy he had consumed during the day and night had returned.
"Brother Wuchen, your elixir works so well. My inner strength came back so quickly!"
Seeing the internal energy condensing in the palm of his hand, Leng Baihu couldn't help but feel a little excited. In the mortal world, there are naturally pills that can quickly restore a person's internal energy. However, those pills can only restore 20 to 30% of the internal energy at most. However, the pill given by Brother Wuchen can actually Restore all his internal strength.
"kindness."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, without saying anything, and took half of the pill himself. After exercising his energy and regulating his breath, he gradually recovered his internal strength.
Unless it was a last resort, he would not use elixirs to restore his internal strength. Although elixirs could relieve temporary emergencies, they were still poisonous, especially now that he had lost all his cultivation.
After half a stick of incense, both of them had recovered their internal strength. Xiao Chen stood up and looked deep into the valley. He saw clouds and mist over there. Along the way, the spiritual energy became more and more abundant. It must be here It's not far from the inner valley.
"Walk."
Without any further hesitation, Xiao Chen displayed his Qinggong and immediately moved forward. He had no cultivation level now and did not want to run into Xiao Menger and those people outside at this time.
"Brother Wuchen...wait for me!" Leng Baihu also immediately started Qinggong and chased after him.
And in another place.
"Sister, what are you looking for?"
When dusk fell, in a deep valley, only two figures were seen flying down the cliff one after the other. They were none other than Xiao Menger and Xiao Ling'er.
Sure enough, as Xiao Chen guessed, Xiao Meng'er used those people outside to come in with Xiao Ling'er. As for whether anyone else also came in, it is unknown, but it won't be long before they come. When the restrictive formation outside is completely broken, everyone will come in.
"No one seems to have been here, sister...what are you looking for?"
Xiao Ling'er looked at the sister in front of her in confusion. From last night to now, her sister has been walking in a hurry. What is she looking for?
It's impossible to find Xiao Yichen and Leng Baihu. Speaking of which, where did the two of them go? Why can't they sense any breath...
"It's okay, I think there's something abnormal about the spiritual power here, so I'll take a look." Xiao Meng'er turned around and said to her.
"Oh...then, then..."
As Xiao Ling'er spoke, she looked into the valley and whispered, "Then we still go in?"
"No, go this way."
Xiao Meng'er looked in the other direction outside the valley, and that direction was exactly the direction Xiao Chen and Leng Baihu went last night, that is, the direction of the inner valley.
"Let's go."
Without saying much, Xiao Meng'er moved and immediately used the wind control technique to go outside. Xiao Ling'er came to her senses and shouted "Sister, wait for me", and tried to follow.
...
The night was shrouded, and the valley in the middle of the night looked even quieter. Only the wind blew slowly, and the leaves made a rustling sound.
Occasionally, one or two squirrels would run out of the woods, but they only lasted for a while and disappeared in the dark night again.
The spiritual power in front was becoming more and more abundant and pure. Xiao Chen knew that this place was not far from the inner valley. As long as he entered the inner valley, it would be difficult for others to find him, because the spiritual power of the earth veins inside was too strong, which would hinder the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators.
"That front... such a strong aura."
Obviously, Leng Baihu could also feel it at this time. When he entered the Worry-Free Valley before, the rich spiritual energy around him made him think that he had entered the fairyland in ancient legends. Now, feeling the more abundant spiritual energy in front of him, he really couldn't imagine that the spiritual energy in the inner valley would be so much stronger than that in the outer valley.
An hour later, the two finally entered the inner valley. At that time, the bright moon was in the sky, reflecting the entire valley exceptionally clear and flawless. Everything nearby, including flowers, plants and trees, was clearly visible.
For a moment, Leng Baihu was shocked by the creation of the world in this valley, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, while Xiao Chen was concentrating on sensing the changes in the spiritual energy around him.
The spiritual energy here is so abundant, there must be a source, and the source, could it be that it is the Worry-Free Flower that blooms once every thousand years?
On the morning of the second day, the two of them had no idea where they were in the valley. They saw countless exotic flowers and trees everywhere. The woods were full of orange, red and bright purple fruits. In the distance, there were colorful lakes with a layer of light smoke and mist floating on the water, just like a fairyland.
"Here..."
Leng Baihu really didn't expect that when he came last night, there was only moonlight shining, but this morning everything suddenly became clear, and it was so beautiful, like a fairyland in heaven.
...
The next three days passed like this. During these three days, Xiao Chen and Leng Baihu searched everywhere in the inner valley, but they couldn't find the legendary worry-free flower. They had never even seen what the worry-free flower looked like. Looking for it like this was like looking for a needle in the sea. As for the source of the spiritual energy, the two searched for three days and three nights, but still couldn't find it.
And during these three days, many people came in from outside. It seemed that the forbidden formation outside the Worry-Free Valley had been broken two days ago, otherwise there wouldn't be so many cultivators in the inner valley today.
Xiao Chen had expected this, and before these people came into the inner valley, he and Leng Baihu took the elixir and temporarily concealed all the aura on their bodies.
At noon that day, a strong spiritual power fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the inner valley. When the two rushed over, they found that a lot of people had gathered in an empty valley. Obviously, they were all people with very high cultivation, otherwise they would not cause such a strong spiritual power fluctuation here.
"Brother Wuchen, look, it's Ling'er, and her sister..."
At this moment, Leng Baihu and Xiao Chen were hiding in a bush outside the valley, and in the valley, Xiao Meng'er was seen stepping on the fairy lotus, holding the whisk sword in her hand, her clothes fluttering, and the whole person was like a fairy, but she was surrounded by many people at this time, obviously she had encountered an enemy.
"People from the Beigong family?" Xiao Chen's eyes condensed, and Leng Baihu next to him was slightly stunned, and asked him, "What people from the Beigong family?"
Leng Baihu was a mortal in Xishu, and naturally he didn't know much about the family power in the cultivation world.
At this moment, there were only seven or eight people surrounding Xiao Meng'er in the empty valley, and they all looked like old men with extremely high cultivation. There were also many disciples in the circle outside, and as for the farther places, there were some cultivators watching the excitement.
Although Xiao Meng'er has become increasingly famous over the years, many people have only heard how powerful she is, and not many people have really seen her take action. Therefore, at this moment, those who are watching from a distance are a little excited, wanting to see whether the current number one person in the Xiao family is really worthy of the title.
"When did this West Shu become the place of the Xiao family? How come I don't know?"
The atmosphere gradually became tense, and even a trace of invisible murderous intent appeared in the wind. The person who spoke was a white-haired old man wearing a black Taoist robe.
But seeing that he had his hands behind his back, his body was suspended in the air motionless, his eyes were cold, and his cultivation seemed not low.
This person was not from the Beigong family, but the head of a force under the Beigong family, and his cultivation was also extremely high.
As for the person from the Beigong family, it was an old man in green who was standing opposite Xiao Meng'er at this moment. He had a rich aura of a quasi-saint, which shocked many cultivators around him, but no one knew why he had a conflict with Xiao Meng'er here.
