Wuliang Immortal Clan

Chapter 6 Escape

"Um?"

This was the first time his companion spirit had suddenly blocked him. Instead of using brute force to break free, he tried to soothe it, but to little avail.

He frowned as he looked at the seven-colored flower, its tentacles coiled together, like living things, pulling his fingers away from the red pill.

"You don't want me to choose this pill? Is there a problem with it?"

The seven-colored flower's tentacles did not explain, but instead crawled towards the jade bowl.

He could feel a persistent thirst emanating from the tentacles, and he immediately understood that the Seven-Colored Flower seemed to desperately need the jade bowl, or more precisely, the contents of the jade bowl.

He cautiously approached the jade bowl. As a cultivator, he knew very well that the pills and the jade bowl might be his opportunity.

The elders in the clan have said that one must be especially careful in times like these, as opportunity can also mean disaster.

It could be a trap, or there might be monsters lurking nearby. No matter what it is, you need to be careful, or you might end up with blood on the spot.

But when he gently picked up the jade bowl, the expected attack did not occur.

Nothing happened inside the cave, which was a hundred feet in size. Under the illumination of the luminous pearl, the surroundings were quiet.

After confirming that there was no danger around, he turned to look at the jade bowl.

Just as he saw, there seemed to be a crystal-clear liquid inside the jade bowl, but there was a complex array at the rim of the bowl that locked the liquid inside.

Using the light of the luminous pearl, he examined it inch by inch and finally saw a small crack at the rim of the bowl.

A misty aura was emanating from the crack, seeping outwards.

It appears that much of the liquid inside has dissipated.

He looked at the bottom of the bowl, where two large characters were written, and he instinctively called them out.

"Collecting dew!"

As soon as he uttered the words, his hands suddenly felt light, and then the entire jade bowl vanished.

"The Seven-Colored Flower!"

Needless to say, he knew who was behind it, and immediately released the Seven-Colored Flower from his body.

It was only then that they discovered that the tentacles of the seven-colored flower tightly wrapped around the jade bowl, and the hair-thin roots carefully probed into the crack of the jade bowl.

He could feel the excitement emanating from the seven-colored flower, and at the same time, streams of spiritual energy were emerging from it.

"You mean the things inside can make you grow faster? And also speed up my cultivation?"

After all, the seven-colored flower was his companion spirit, and he could clearly feel the joy it brought. Moreover, it would also be beneficial for him if the flower became stronger.

Thinking of this, he simply stopped caring and let the seven-colored flower go. If the jade bowl had such a great effect, the pills next to it should have an even greater effect.

Thinking of this, he reached out to grab it, but at this moment, the seven-colored flower grabbed his wrist again.

"Can't you eat it?"

He sensed the terror emanating from the seven-colored flower, and after thinking for a moment, carefully took out a jade bottle from his person.

"Don't worry, I won't eat it. I'll take it back and show it to the clan chief."

Upon hearing his words, the Seven-Colored Flower loosened its tentacles, and he carefully packed away the pills.

The entire cave fell into darkness, and he began searching for a way up again.

"Yuen Long..."

He didn't know how much time had passed, but in his dazed state, he suddenly heard someone calling his name. He snapped to attention and hurriedly shouted out.

"I'm here! I'm here!"

"Goodness, this kid is really lucky, he's still alive."

A faint sound drifted in from outside. He quickly pressed himself against the stone wall, and upon hearing the familiar voice, he felt tears welling up in his eyes.

"I'm here, I'm here..."

"Yuen Long, move aside."

Hearing the warning from outside, he quickly took a few steps back.

"Whoosh!"

Several sword lights suddenly flashed on the stone wall in front of him, followed by several blinding beams of light falling from outside. He hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands.

In a daze, I saw my third brother anxiously reaching out his hand, and then everything went black.

"This kid is exhausted and his emotions have fluctuated too much, so he has just fainted temporarily. He is physically fine."

The Grand Elder hurriedly took it, checked it over, breathed a sigh of relief, and arranged for Xu Yuanzhen to take him out.

"Snapped!"

Just as they picked him up, the jade bottle containing the red pills in his arms fell out by sheer coincidence.

It rolled on the ground, and a small crack appeared in the bottle, instantly releasing a fragrant aroma.

Xu Yuanzhen, who was walking forward, and Xu Zhenao, who was helping him, both stopped in their tracks.

Their eyes instantly turned blood red, and they immediately stared intently at the jade bottle.

"Foolish child, foolish child!"

Seeing their reactions, Xu Xuanting sighed, flicked his sleeve, and the pill disappeared from the spot.

The two who had been acting wildly immediately snapped out of their daze. They first exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with hostility, and then Xu Yuanzhen looked anxiously at his grandfather.

"grandfather……"

"snort!"

Seemingly having guessed what he was thinking, Xu Xuanting let out a cold snort, and the two of them trembled. In the end, Xu Yuanzhen licked his lips and spoke again.

"Elder, could that pill be...?"

"I need to discuss this with the clan chief."

Xu Xuanting swept his gaze over the two of them with an unprecedentedly serious look. They had never seen the Grand Elder so stern, and even those who wanted to say something swallowed their words under that look.

Three days later, Xu Yuanlang slowly woke up. He looked at the roof with some confusion, and after a while, he remembered that he had escaped underground.

"Little brother!"

The moment he woke up, Xu Yuanluo noticed him, looked around, and quietly took out a pancake from his pocket and handed it to him.

"I remember you're from Dongpo Village. This cake was brought over by someone from the village. Please try it."

I just steamed it again, it's still warm, have a taste!

Xu Yuanlang and Xu Yuanluo both came from ordinary villages and had no connections, so they were naturally closer to each other than others.

"Thank you, Sixth Brother!"

He took it and smelled the familiar aroma of wheat, which immediately made his mouth water. He subconsciously began to wolf it down.

Seeing him enjoying his meal, Xu Yuanluo smiled broadly and gently patted his head.

"You're lucky, kid. There were hundreds of people in the mine, and you were the only one who survived."

Upon hearing this, the images of those corpses seemed to flash before his eyes, and he slowly put down the round cake in his hand.

"Sixth Brother, I saw many clansmen die inside. They were all mortals."

Xu Yuanluo stopped moving and just shook his head helplessly.

"They were just unlucky."

"Yes, they were just unlucky."

Xu Yuanlang bit down hard on the round cake, as if trying to swallow back all the words he wanted to say.
