Chapter 237 Teleportation Jade Token
Chapter 237 Teleportation Jade Token
Seeing five people sleeping in front of the wooden house, Wang Rong sighed softly.
When she saw the Qiling White Crane lying next to Shen Xu, a look of shock appeared on her originally calm face. After all, this was the first time she had ever seen such an auspicious beast.
Seemingly realizing something, she began to conceal her presence and figure, slowly approaching the Qiling White Crane.
Sensing Wang Rong's approach, the Qiling White Crane immediately opened its eyes and cried out loudly. Its wings slammed heavily against Shen Xu's face before it flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
"Such keen perception!" Gazing at the white cranes of prayer in the sky, Wang Rong's expression of shock deepened.
Shen Xu slammed his hand heavily on the armrest of the rattan chair, then clenched his fist.
This lazy bird is relentless! Not only does it disturb his peaceful sleep, but it even dares to swat him with its wings. He must get his revenge!
"Aunt Wang, when did you arrive?" Bai Lu asked softly, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xu suddenly opened his eyes, then quickly got up, completely wide awake.
"You slept very comfortably!" Wang Rong said with a smile.
"Aunt Wang, you all arrived too late. We got sleepy while we were waiting," Bai Lu explained with a light laugh.
“Although this is the core area of Tianhe Valley, we still can’t let our guard down. Otherwise, I seriously doubt whether you can complete this mission,” Wang Rong said coldly.
"Aunt Wang, now that things have come to this, you should tell us what's really going on in Shuanghe Village!" Bai Lu grabbed Wang Rong's arm and shook it playfully.
"I can only tell you that it is very dangerous inside, but you are all the best of the Sword Alliance in this selection, and the Sword Alliance will not let you risk your lives."
"Each of these jade tablets is engraved with a valuable teleportation array. When your lives are in mortal danger, you can activate it to teleport you to the outside world." Wang Rong tossed five jade tablets, each engraved with an intricate pattern, to the five people.
After Shen Xu took the jade token, he found that the pattern on it seemed somewhat familiar, and it looked similar to the teleportation pattern to the Kunyuan Secret Realm on his chest.
You should know that the teleportation array on his body can teleport him to a secret realm. Just how dangerous must the mission be for the Sword Alliance to spend so much money to issue such teleportation jade tokens to the five of them?
"This is a special teleportation jade ring made for the Praying White Crane. You just need to hang it on the Praying White Crane's leg, and it will be teleported back with you when you teleport. You don't need to worry about the Praying White Crane's safety." Wang Rong handed a small jade ring to Shen Xu.
“Aunt Wang, Qiling Baihe doesn’t want to go out with us,” Bailu explained.
"That's a pity. Since you're not taking it with you, I'll have Yi Yunyu take care of the Qiling White Crane after you leave."
"Aunt Wang, you don't need to worry about observing the Qiling White Crane. I will seal off Qingling Creek before I leave, and I hope you won't trespass," Bai Lu said earnestly.
"Bai Lu, you've really grown up. I won't let Yi Yunyu bother it anymore," Wang Rong said with some emotion.
"The mission this time is to investigate Shuanghe Village. May I ask what level of investigation is considered satisfactory?" Shen Xu suddenly asked.
“There are no specific requirements. Just investigate as much as you can. If you come out alive, you’re considered qualified,” Wang Rong replied.
Shen Xu frowned and asked, "Will it be difficult for us to get out once we go in?"
“You’re very clever. To be precise, without using the teleportation jade token, you basically have no chance of getting out. If it weren’t for the fact that only Qi Condensation Realm cultivators could investigate Shuanghe Village, I wouldn’t have come looking for you.”
"Do you have any questions?"
"I don't think simply helping Bailu form a team is enough for me to take such a big risk, after all, teleportation arrays are not omnipotent."
Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.
Bai Lu bit her lip and said, "Aunt Wang, Shen Xu has only been a member of the Sword Alliance for a short time. It's really inappropriate to let him do such dangerous tasks for the Sword Alliance right away."
"What do you want?" Wang Rong ignored Bai Lu's words and looked at Shen Xu with a cold gaze.
"Longevity Pill!" Shen Xu met Wang Rong's gaze without the slightest fear.
The Longevity Pill was an exchangeable item he saw on the shadow stone in the Heavenly Sword Battle Hall. It was an extremely precious fifth-grade pill with a simple effect: it could help ordinary people extend their lives by ten years.
However, the contribution points required for the exchange were an amount he couldn't bear to look at; with his current strength, it was impossible for him to obtain so many contribution points in a short time. But if taking a risk could extend Wang Bo's life by ten years, he was willing to take that risk.
"I thought you would ask for rare and precious herbs to enhance your talent, but I didn't expect you to want a longevity pill. If you complete this mission well, I can decide to give you a longevity pill."
"I want that, Aunt Wang..." Bai Lu said softly.
"no!"
“You are considered to be among the top disciples of the Sword Alliance. You don’t lack ordinary things. I’m not qualified to give you what you lack. The Longevity Pill was already a special gift given to Shen Xu. You don’t need to mention anything more valuable than the Longevity Pill.”
Looking at the silent group, Wang Rong smiled and said, "Although this mission is very difficult, there is no danger to your lives. The teleportation jade tokens I gave you are unlikely to malfunction."
"Set off as soon as possible, I'll be waiting for your good news!"
"Shen Xu, why do you need the Longevity Pill?" Li Xiaoyi suddenly asked after Wang Rong left Qingling Creek.
"It's needed by the elders in the family."
Seeing that Shen Xu was unwilling to talk to her about this matter, Li Xiaoyi stopped trying to press him further.
"Bai Lu, thank you for today." Shen Xu looked at Bai Lu with some gratitude.
It wasn't just because Bai Lu spoke up for him, but also because he knew that if outsiders were allowed to freely enter and leave Qingling Creek, the problems with the ancient forest would be discovered sooner or later. Even if Bai Lu was the owner of this land, she probably wouldn't be able to completely prevent those with ulterior motives from entering.
This ancient forest is crucial to his cultivation plan, and he cannot afford to make any mistakes.
"Don't look at me like that. Although I don't know what you did to the ancient forest, I know you saved them. I think my life is fine as it is now, and I don't need anyone to bother me. Besides, it's been raining for so long, and it's quite strange that it suddenly stopped," Bai Lu said somewhat embarrassedly.
Upon hearing Bai Lu's words, Shen Xu was momentarily stunned. After recovering, he reconnected with the azure light cluster, restoring the beating of the Wood Heart. Soon after, azure primordial rain began to fall in a light drizzle.
"So you really can control the Yuan Yu of Qingling Creek!" Bai Lu murmured involuntarily.
“This is your place, and the ancient forest is your property. I shouldn’t have kept it from you.”
In fact, this ancient forest is alive; it is conscious. I can communicate with it in a simple way, and I can do many things by controlling it, including controlling Yuan Yu.
"However, it is still very weak now, and you cannot sense it yet. Once it becomes stronger, I believe you will be able to communicate with it in a simple way," Shen Xu said slowly.
As if to confirm Shen Xu's words, even without wind, the sound of leaves rustling in the treetops could be heard.
Upon hearing Shen Xu's words and seeing the leaves swaying above, the group all showed expressions of surprise.
"It's incredible! A forest has come to life!" Ye Zhi exclaimed.
"So my previous feeling wasn't just an illusion." Guan Bi couldn't help but look at the surrounding woods.
"Who can sense it?" Li Xiaoyi suddenly asked.
Shen Xu replied, "It should be that people who possess the essence of wood are more likely to feel it, and it should also be related to the strength of the essence of wood."
"Doesn't that mean your understanding of wood is more than one level higher than mine?" Guan Bi couldn't help but wonder.
“I’m different. Maybe it’s because I saved its life that it established a special connection with me, which has little to do with the strength of the Wood Intent,” Shen Xu explained.
"What can you control it to do now?" Bai Lu asked curiously.
“Apart from the cradle Xiao Yi is sitting in now, everything else here was made by it,” Shen Xu replied with a smile.
"what?"
So, at the women's insistence, Shen Xu had no choice but to let the blue light swirl weave an exquisite rattan chair in front of them.
Seeing the women's still bewildered expressions, Shen Xu smiled and said, "I believe that as the Ancient Forest grows stronger in the future, it will definitely be able to do more than just this."
"This is amazing! Guanbi, I've decided that I not only want to learn to cook from you, but I also want to learn from Mu Zhiyi!" Looking at the exquisite rattan chair in front of her, Bai Lu's eyes shone with excitement.
With her eyes closed, Li Xiaoyi seemed to see a blurry blue light conveying a trace of kindness to her.
