Chapter 294 Reshaping Cognition
When Shen Xu returned with He Yu, he saw that Li Xiaoyi had already started the shuttle.
However, he had one more thing to do before leaving. He had regretted not searching the corpse last time for quite some time, and he couldn't forget about it this time. Besides, this was a True Blood Realm cultivator, who was bound to have many valuable items hidden on him.
When Zhong Wei entered, he saw Shen Xu turning over the corpse, and this scene made Zhong Wei feel that his world had completely collapsed.
From a young age, he was told that True Blood Realm cultivators were invincible, and that the Zhong family was able to achieve such a status in Yunyang Kingdom because they had a True Blood Realm cultivator. His goal was to become the second True Blood Realm cultivator in the Zhong family.
But now, the True Blood Realm, which he regarded as his lifelong goal, was lying on the ground like trash, being roughly searched over with a sword by the man in front of him. He began to doubt whether what he was pursuing was the right thing.
"Remember to go far away. If anyone asks, just say you met me by chance and know nothing about this place. We'll meet again if fate allows." Shen Xu patted Zhong Wei on the shoulder and stepped into the shuttle.
Just as the shuttle was about to close its hatch, a white crane flew straight into the shuttle from the horizon.
A gust of wind swept through Cuixia Garden, the strong wind pressure causing sand and stones to fly everywhere. The shuttle slowly hovered in mid-air, then turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Zhong Wei looked at the empty, azure sky, but his heart was filled with excitement.
Although Shen Xu has indeed caused him a huge problem this time, even with his background, it's uncertain whether he can get out unscathed.
But how could someone who has seen the stars and the sea yearn for a few sparks of light?
"How beautiful!" Crane Feather exclaimed, looking down at the capital city below the flying shuttle.
"I'm sorry I couldn't let you tell Zhong Wei what I wanted to say." He only remembered Zhong Wei's promise to He Yu some time after the shuttle took off, but he couldn't go back for that reason.
"It's alright, Brother Xu. I've been really happy these past few days, there's no need to tell Grandpa those things anymore," He Yu replied with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll bring you safely to your grandfather." Shen Xu rubbed He Yu's head.
"Here, take this." Shen Xu handed the black-robed man's storage ring to Li Xiaoyi.
"I don't need it, you can keep it!"
"Here, take this." Shen Xu took out the Three-Leaf Mystic Ice Flower.
Upon seeing the blue ice flower in Shen Xu's hand, Li Xiaoyi's usually calm eyes flickered slightly. "How did you know I needed this?"
"I felt it would suit you very well, so I wanted to give it to you."
"But I have nothing to give you." For the first time, Shen Xu felt helpless in the face of Li Xiaoyi.
"This is enough." Shen Xu smiled and shook the storage ring in his hand.
“No! You gave me a gift with such care, so naturally I should reciprocate with a gift of my own.” Li Xiaoyi said earnestly.
"Then I'll wait for your return gift, but it shouldn't be too expensive, otherwise I won't accept it." He knew Li Xiaoyi's personality; once she made up her mind, no one could persuade her otherwise.
He Yu looked at Shen Xu with some confusion, "Grandpa told him that men should be devoted to women, but Brother Xu has clearly already given a girl a token of love."
Why do we still need to give the fairy a gift? Isn't Grandpa right? Should I tell the fairy about this?
"Is there anything you want?" Li Xiaoyi asked tentatively.
I want you to stay away from me!
However, he could only think about it; he really couldn't say such a thing right now.
In fact, he should have been as ruthless to Li Xiaoyi as he was to the witch from the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't be in this predicament now.
"Want a Nourishing Essence Pill?" That doesn't seem right either; otherwise, it wouldn't be a gift, but rather Li Xiaoyi paying for his things.
"Not yet, the thought is what counts, the gift is secondary," Shen Xu replied with a smile.
Rather than taking the problem upon himself, he might as well pass it on to someone else. After all, a rich woman like Li Xiaoyi would never let him suffer a loss.
"Okay! How did you get this Three-Leaf Mystic Ice Flower? Even in Ningzhou, this kind of flower is extremely rare." Li Xiaoyi asked with some doubt.
"When I went to the Crown Prince's residence in Yunyang Kingdom, I rescued the Crown Prince's child. This flower is what they used to pay for the medicine. I heard from the Crown Princess of Yunyang Kingdom that it was a national gift from the Yexue Dynasty to Yunyang Kingdom."
However, the fact that they can give them away as gifts means that the Night Snow Dynasty must have planted quite a few Mystic Ice Flowers, and perhaps even the legendary Five-Leaf Mystic Ice Flower. If we have the chance, we can go and take a look.
After all, if we actually go back, we probably won't get our hands on these good things anymore.
“It’s better not to take the risk. That man in black robes was very strong. If he hadn’t underestimated us so much, we probably wouldn’t have been able to get close to him, let alone kill him.” Li Xiaoyi frowned.
"When did you comprehend the sword intent, and that sword intent... doesn't seem like you, it's not like the you I know." Li Xiaoyi fell silent after saying this.
"My sword is far from being imbued with sword intent; I only had some insights while practicing swordsmanship early this morning."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Xu continued, "No one in the world can fully understand another person. Very few people can even see themselves clearly, let alone see others clearly."
"Where are we going now?" He didn't want to continue the conversation.
"Since the True Blood Palace is the source of the chaotic energy in the Blood Central Realm, I sent the Sky Shuttle to the place with the most chaotic energy nearby."
The Sky Shuttle detected a source in the direction we were flying from, emanating a peculiar ripple that continuously spread outwards from the Blood Central Realm. However, since the Sky Shuttle was not equipped with a divination instrument, it had no way of knowing what those ripples were.
"It has these functions too?" Shen Xu's expression was a little strange.
After glancing at He Yu, Li Xiaoyi replied calmly, "The Sky Shuttle is a flying shuttle manufactured by the Thousand Spirit Weapon Sect of Zhongzhou. They can create all kinds of spiritual entities to be mounted on the flying shuttle. Detecting abnormal fluctuations of Yuan Qi is just the most basic function of those spiritual entities."
"Amazing! I definitely want to visit Zhongzhou someday," Shen Xu exclaimed.
"A spiritual intelligence!" He was now regretting giving up Huo Yan's flying shuttle, and he didn't know if he would ever have the chance to see Xiao Si again.
“Every ten years, a giant ship that transforms into a dragon will cross the Thunder Sea from Zhongzhou to Ningzhou. As long as your cultivation reaches the Yuan Dan realm, you will be eligible to obtain a ticket.”
"Yuan Dan Realm!!" He Yu's eyes widened in surprise.
He found it hard to imagine what kind of place the fairy sister was talking about, Zhongzhou, which only those at the Yuan Dan realm were qualified to go to. After all, even his grandfather said that he had never seen an ancient cultivator at the Yuan Dan realm.
Upon hearing Li Xiaoyi's words, Shen Xu suddenly remembered something: he had promised to take Wu Qi to Zhongzhou.
"Xiao Yi, will you go to Zhongzhou in the future?"
“Probably. Ningzhou is just a remote place. If you want to achieve greater success, you have to go to Zhongzhou,” Li Xiaoyi replied earnestly.
"Uh..." If Li Xiaoyi is also going to Zhongzhou, then he might be in some danger!
Because by the time he sets off for Zhongzhou, he will definitely have already run away. If Li Xiaoyi runs into him, how could he possibly let him off easily?
However, I've heard that Zhongzhou is much larger than Ningzhou, so the chances of encountering it are probably not high.
He then checked the contents of the ring and found that, apart from some Yuan Stones, most of the contents were materials from Qi Sea Realm demon beasts, as well as some Yuan Dan Realm demon cores. If he took them to the True Origin Continent, he could probably sell them for a lot of Nourishing Yuan Pills.
