Chapter 141 My Ears Are Dirty
Once everything was agreed upon, it was time for the three sects to conduct their transactions.
First is the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
After giving Su Luo and the others all the spirit stones and magic treasures they could, Gu Changhuai and the others received most of the Fire Cloud Peppers and fish soup in return. The remaining amount was replaced with Xuanbing Fish.
However, the Xuanbing fish are all under a hundred feet of ice, and you need to break the ice to fish for them. Chu Wenqing was worried that the people from the Wanjian Sect wouldn't know how, so he enthusiastically led them to a place to break the ice and taught them how to catch fish quickly.
Next is Shuqiu Pavilion.
They were truly not short of money. After drinking the fish soup and tasting the fiery chili peppers, the disciples all said they wanted fish soup too. Then they took out a huge pile of shiny spirit stones and magic treasures, almost blinding Su Luo and the others.
The reward was so generous that even when the fish soup wasn't enough and needed to be cooked again, Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao never stopped smiling and were full of energy.
Su Luo was also very happy, and even hummed a song while cooking the fish soup.
And so, everyone was making preparations enthusiastically so that they wouldn't have to suffer from the cold on the journey ahead.
Time passed by unnoticed, the sky grew darker and darker, and then it started to snow. Large snowflakes fell, and soon there was a layer of snow on the ice.
The group had no choice but to speed up their pace, hoping to finish the preparations before nightfall.
During this time, Chu Wenqing tripped over something in the snow and almost fell, but fortunately he escaped unharmed and did not fall face-first.
At Shen Shi (3-5 PM), in the realm of Xuanbing.
The sky had completely darkened by now, and the dark clouds had almost completely obscured the moon, making it impossible to see anything. The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the faint sound of snowflakes falling.
Fortunately, the three major sects were all prepared. They sat in their respective tents, drinking fish soup and chatting, discussing the plans for tomorrow's activities.
Su Luo and the others sat in the tent, listening to Bai Jinyan recount information about the Void Illusion. To prevent eavesdropping, Su Luo had affixed an anti-eavesdropping talisman beforehand.
After Bai Jinyan finished recounting the information, the four of them felt slightly relieved.
It seems the Hidden Serpent wasn't lying; the Void Illusion Realm is indeed dangerous! Even a random spiritual plant there can cause hallucinations, not to mention there's a powerful book spirit guarding the teleportation array.
Seeing that Feng Xiyue had fallen silent, seemingly deep in thought, Bai Jinyan couldn't help but remind her.
"That book spirit is extremely powerful, at least at the mid-to-late stage of the Golden Core realm. You'd better not fight it. It's not unreasonable, though. If you take an unconventional approach and ask it a question it can't answer or tell a particularly interesting story, it will let you pass. So, if you really do get to the Void Illusion, be sure to prepare in advance."
Feng Xiyue nodded; they knew that.
"We know, thank you."
The Book Spirit of the Void Illusion is an intelligent being born from a secret realm. For some reason, it has guarded the vicinity of the formation for thousands of years. To pass through the formation, one must gain its approval. However, this Book Spirit is particularly fond of reading and is almost omniscient. It is not easy to stump it or tell it a story it has never heard before.
After Bai Jinyan finished delivering the information, no one spoke for a moment, and the scene fell into an eerie silence again.
In the past, Chu Wenqing would have been chattering away without Su Luo even having to say a word, but this time he was unwilling to speak.
Bai Jinyan knew the reason lay with him. This time, instead of being sarcastic, he tactfully got up and said goodbye to them.
"You two continue chatting, I'll head back now..."
Feng Xiyue and the others naturally didn't try to stop him. The young man smiled and prepared to leave. Just then, a question suddenly flashed through Su Luo's mind.
She quickly asked, "Excuse me, may I ask how you got approved?"
If they knew how Shuqiu Pavilion cleared the level, they could refer to it!
Feng Xiyue and the other two all looked up at Bai Jinyan.
Caught off guard by the question, Bai Jinyan paused for a moment, then his expression turned strange, as if he had just thought of something.
After a long pause, under the gaze of the four, he replied dryly, "Ahem... Junior Sister Jiang from our sect usually likes to study storybooks, so she told the Book Spirit a story... Ahem, we were lucky, the Book Spirit had never heard of this kind of storybook before, so she let us pass..."
"Talkbook?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Jinyan, who always had perfect facial expressions, would stutter like this. Su Luo couldn't help but ask with interest, "What kind of storybook is it? Is it interesting?"
Bai Jinyan glanced at Feng Xiyue subconsciously, then quickly lowered his eyes as if he had been burned, his jade-like ears turning red without him even realizing it.
He mumbled, "Ahem...it's just some romance novels about men and women, not very interesting..."
"That's it..."
Upon hearing that it was just some romance novels, Chu Wenqing and the other two immediately looked away, losing interest.
Su Luo touched her chin, her gaze sweeping over the boy's bright red ears, but she didn't quite believe it.
Look at Bai Jinyan, her face is so red!
No matter how she thought about it, it didn't seem like an ordinary storybook. This guy must have lied!
Su Luo guessed correctly; Bai Jinyan had indeed lied. It wasn't an ordinary storybook at all, but a pornographic book filled with erotic tales!
No one expected that the usually gentle Jiang Wanyue would read such explicit storybooks! Not only were they full of all sorts of romantic tales, but they were also incredibly erotic! Not only had the Book Spirit never heard of them before, but even they had never come across such storybooks!
So, not only was Shuling stunned, but they were all dumbfounded, their faces flushed red! They felt their ears had been defiled! There was no going back!
Bai Jinyan felt he couldn't stay any longer, so he said goodbye again, "Then I'll be leaving now. Although we'll all go our separate ways after dawn, I hope we'll have the chance to meet again."
Su Jun smiled and nodded, "Okay, see you again sometime."
There was nothing Su Luo could do if the other person didn't want to talk about it.
But... Jiang, the junior sister from Shuqiu Pavilion? I'd like to get to know her if I have the chance; I have a feeling she might give me some surprises!
Just as Su Luo was thinking this, the jade bracelet on her hand suddenly became hot. Before she could react, the jade bracelet lit up with a red light, and then she saw something being knocked away by the red light.
This scene seemed familiar.
Su Luo reacted instantly, just like with the Hidden Yin Snake, as if something wanted to attack her, but was countered by the Blood Jade Bracelet!
She jumped up, her eyes fixed coldly in that direction. "Something just attacked me!"
Everyone was shocked and quickly stood up, immediately taking out their magical weapons to shield Su Luo behind them.
Before Bai Jinyan could leave, he suddenly encountered this situation and couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"
Su Luo shook her head, "I don't know, I didn't see it clearly."
Their tent only had one piece of light, so the lighting range was limited. Areas further away from the tent were pitch black, and naturally, nothing could be seen.
Feng Xiyue immediately took out a Demon-Scorching Stone and threw it in the direction Su Luo was looking. In an instant, the Demon-Scorching Stone emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the surroundings.
When the group saw what it was, their pupils constricted.
