Eternal Tranquility

Liu Qinghuan didn't trust Zhang Xianmiao much. To put it bluntly, when everyone worked together to open the ghost door, they were just doing what they wanted. But all kinds of mysterious behaviors of this person make people want to explore.

The Ghost King and the Corpse Demon wanted to escape from Dushuo Mountain, while Yunmengze and the others wanted to use the Ghost Gate to contain the Yin Yue Blood Realm. Only Zhang Xianmiao's purpose of entering the Ghost Gate was unknown, but it was the most important thing that promoted this cooperation. A positive one.

Now they met by chance outside Liao'e Cemetery, and the other party once again offered to cooperate, which really surprised Liu Qinghuan.

"Can you tell me what you can do to help me now?"

Zhang Xianmiao smiled, motioned for him to follow, and said as he walked into Lao'an Forest, "Fellow Daoist Liu, don't you know that there is the real cave of the former owner of Liao'er Cemetery in this forest?"

"What?!" Liu Qinghuan waved his hand and patted away the aerial root that Guizhaorong had quietly rolled over, and said in surprise: "The owner of the spiritual garden?"

"Haha, it seems you really don't know. Also, this matter is extremely secretive and very few people know about it. I only learned about it accidentally."

Liu Qinghuan pondered: "It is said that this secret place was once an immortal medicine garden. So, the owner here was an immortal?"

"Those are just rumors." Zhang Xianmiao sneered: "However, although he is not an immortal, he is definitely higher in cultivation than us."

If you have a higher level of cultivation than them, you must at least be a great cultivator of the God Transformation.

Liu Qinghuan watched Zhang Xianmiao clearing the path in front. Wherever he passed, those dense air roots automatically separated to both sides as if they were afraid of him.

"So are we going to the cave?"

"Yes, but I don't know the specific location of the cave, so I need to look for it." Zhang Xianmiao said: "Follow me closely. If you see any spiritual herbs or medicines on the way, they will all be yours."

Hearing such words, Liu Qinghuan was not happy at all. Instead, his eyes deepened: "Are you sure?"

"Haha." Zhang Xianmiao said with a smile: "I am just vegetation, so what's the use of those things."

As they spoke, the two of them had gone deep into the mountain forest, and the surrounding light was getting darker and darker. The ghost-clawed banyan trees connected one after another blocked the sky with their huge crowns, and their aerial roots hung down, looking eerie and eerie. It's a bit strange.

Suddenly, a subtle sound came from a distance, as if someone was whistling. It kept ringing, making the two of them stunned at the same time.

Liu Qinghuan's consciousness swept over, and his face couldn't help but change: "Insects! What a big group!"

Zhang Xianmiao was also startled. He sped up and said solemnly, "Quickly! If you get caught by the swarm of insects, you'll be in trouble."

As he was talking, several flying insects appeared between the aerial roots. Each of them was only the size of a walnut, with several pairs of transparent wings on its back, and its sharp and slender mouthparts shone with cold light. They looked very much like mosquitoes, but they had mosquitoes on their bodies. It is covered with a hard carapace with dark green patterns. There is an eardrum under the shell, which can emit a sharp whistle.

This kind of insect uses whistle sound as a means of attack, and the invisible sound kill is almost impossible to prevent.

Liu Qinghuan immediately blocked his hearing, followed Zhang Xianmiao, and said, "There are some under our feet too."

Sure enough, from the surrounding leaves, tree trunks, and soil, insects emerged with wings fluttering, nimbly shuttled between the densely woven aerial roots, and screamed around the two of them.

Liu Qinghuan stretched out his hand and slapped an insect that flew towards his face. However, he found that the insect rolled several times in the air, flapped its wings, and flew over again as if nothing happened.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although he didn't use much force just now, it was far from what a small insect could resist. Not only was it not smashed to pieces, it also seemed not to be injured at all.

He drew out the Tainan Immortal Sword, slashed it out, and smashed a few insects blocking the way into pieces. However, he saw that there was already a dense mass in the distance, and those long air roots were broken one after another in the invisible sound. And the spiritual energy shield around him began to fluctuate violently.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why don't we set a direction to search for first, so that we can break out in that direction."

Zhang Xianmiao nodded and pointed forward. White water vapor surged from his body in all directions. The forest immediately became moist, and then large raindrops condensed out, gathering into a furious The water dragon rushed towards the gathering beasts.

Although those insects had a hard body, they were swept away by the water dragon and were immediately washed away. Liu Qinghuan's sword arrived shortly after, and the unstoppable sword energy swept across them.

The two of them rushed out of the banyan forest and reached another mountain forest with their strong strength before the swarm of insects surrounded them.

Lao'an Forest is very different from other places in the spiritual garden. Not only is the environment cold, but there are also many snakes, insects, ants and beasts in it. There are also some remaining forbidden mazes. If you are not careful, you will step into a trap.

Fortunately, a lot of elixirs did grow in it, and as promised, Zhang Xianmiao would give it to Liu Qinghuan whenever he encountered it.

Regarding this, Liu Qinghuan became increasingly wary.

The two of them are neither relatives nor friends, so this kind of behavior is really weird. Either Zhang Xianmiao is a rare good person in this world, or the other person wants something from him, and the request is very big!

Zhang Xianmiao is obviously not the former, so it is the latter.

So, after finding a precious elixir again, Liu Qinghuan stopped and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, please keep this Lingzhu grass."

Zhang Xianmiao looked confused: "Huh? Didn't we agree before? If you help me, all the elixir will be yours."

Liu Qinghuan looked into the distance, turned around and said calmly: "The reward you gave is too high. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this kind of work, or..."

He turned his head and stared at him closely: "Or, you need to use my life or something to help!"

Zhang Xianmiao paused and raised a smile: "How could it be? Of course you can help me, and only you can help me."

He stepped forward and picked up the Lingzhu grass and handed it over: "Besides, it's not all about helping me. After all, you also want to enter the cave of the owner of this garden, don't you?"

Liu Qinghuan had no intention of accepting it and crossed his arms: "Really? In this case, the elixir should be divided equally. Liu has always been self-aware and doesn't like to take advantage of others!"

After a while, Zhang Xianmiao laughed a few times, then sighed: "Okay!"

After muttering a few more words like "You're too outsider", he took the spiritual grass away.

Liu Qinghuan's face softened slightly and he turned his head, but there was only ice in his eyes.

Getting on the road again, he said with a half-smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, we have been wandering around in the forest for two days, but you have never told me the specific situation of the cave. Why don't you tell me, and I can help you pay attention?"

"Ahem, it's not that I don't want to say it." Zhang Xianmiao said while looking around: "I really don't know much. The person who told me this only said that as long as he sees it, he will know where it is at a glance. It’s the entrance to the cave.”

Naturally, Liu Qinghuan's suspicion could not be quelled by such a statement, but he stopped pursuing it.

The atmosphere between the two of them was somewhat mysterious. Although neither of them showed any abnormality, they each had their own thoughts.

Another day later, the two of them found a stone platform in the forest, and finally understood what the so-called "you can tell at a glance" meant.

The upward side of the stone platform was cut very flat. Deep and complex lines like branches curled and spread, the lines were graceful and smooth, and climbed up to the two stone pillars standing on the stone platform, and then met in the middle to form a mountain gate.

Zhang Xianmiao couldn't hide her excitement and rushed forward, feeling the lines intoxicatedly: "This is it, I finally found it."

Liu Qinghuan looked around and said, "I didn't find any formations or restrictions here. How do I open this cave?"

Zhang Xianmiao turned her back to him and said in a very calm tone: "It's very simple, just drop the blood essence rich in wood spirit energy on these Shu Ye spirit patterns."
