Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Ambiguity in the Air_1

Zhang Xian felt a little embarrassed under the gaze of Jing Yi and the old Daoist nun.

Jing Yi’s gaze was tolerable, but why was the old Daoist nun also staring at him like this? Didn’t they know that such a gaze could easily lead to misunderstandings?

"Er....."

Realising her own rudeness, the old nun cleared her throat and said, "Young man, your skills really exceed my expectations! Not only are you powerful, but you also know the technique of alchemy. I wonder, at such a young age, how did you manage to cultivate? Furthermore, how did you find the time to study alchemy? Time is just not enough!"

"Regarding this, I don’t really know how to explain." Zhang Xian did not intend to explain.

His path of cultivation was different from others. The current strong individuals were all practising ancient martial arts, but he was practicing the path of immortality, two entirely different concepts.

As for alchemy, he learned it from his inherited knowledge. His mind was already filled with the theoretical knowledge, all that was lacking was practice, and thus he learned it very quickly.

"You’re amazing." Luo Shuining praised.

In the sect, she had seen many geniuses and heard many stories about them. However, compared with Zhang Xian, those so-called geniuses were nothing.

Yes, they were nothing. Zhang Xian, who was only in his twenties, held the power of the Peak Innate Realm and even knew alchemy.

As the saying goes, the comparison would make one despair, surely, they were talking about Zhang Xian, an existence against the heavens. This guy was completely beyond ordinary people’s imaginations.

"So, Zhang Xian, will you really help us find the Thousand Leaf Grass and Heartless Fruit?" the old Daoist asked.

Zhang Xian said, "I can’t guarantee it, after all, I don’t have that much time. However, during my time in the Dragon Mountain Range, I’ll definitely help you look for them."

"That will be enough."

The old Daoist nun nodded and said, "In fact, I don’t have much time either. I have some private affairs to handle. If you could help us, I’d like to leave Jing Yi and Shuining with you while I go to handle my affairs. When you leave the mountains, just take them with you. I’ll contact them at that time."

Luo Shuining and Jing Yi simultaneously asked, "Master, where are you going?"

"I’m going to take care of some things."

The old Daoist had no intention to say more and turned to Zhang Xian, "So, may I disturb you?"

Zhang Xian nodded, "I can guarantee their safety as long as I am alive. If I die, then I can’t guarantee anything."

"Hehe, that’s good." The old Daoist nodded and said, "I know where the Thousand Leaf Grass is. Follow this river, and you’ll soon see a waterfall. In a cave below the waterfall, you’ll find the Thousand Leaf Grass. As for the Heartless Fruit, it’d be great if you could find it. If not, don’t push yourself, we’ll already be very grateful for your help."

Zhang Xian nodded, "No problem, I will do my best."

"Ok, then I’ll be going now." The old Daoist laughed and said to Jing Yi and Luo Shuining, "You two, don’t cause any trouble for Zhang Xian."

Luo Shuining and Jing Yi cried out, "Master..."

"Go." The old Daoist waved her hand and turned to leave for the outskirts.

Jing Yi and Luo Shuining looked at each other and let out a bitter smile. They never thought that after coming to the Dragon Mountain Range, things would turn out this way. Did their master really trust Zhang Xian that much?

"Let’s go!" Zhang Xian didn’t overthink it.

All these years, he’d always been a warm-hearted person and never hesitated to help as long as he was able.

Jing Yi and Luo Shuining nodded and followed behind Zhang Xian.

Perhaps because of what had happened in the small village, Jing Yi remained silent. Luo Shuining, on the other hand, was too shy to speak to Zhang Xian.

Thus, the three of them walked on in silence.

Before long, they indeed arrived at a waterfall. Zhang Xian swept the area with his spiritual sense and noticed a cave under the curtain of water. Within it was a strong aura. However, because it was too far away, he couldn’t determine what exactly was inside, but its power certainly wouldn’t be weaker than Innate Strength.

"Should we just go down like this?" Jing Yi asked.

Zhang Xian said, "Wait, it’s not very safe down there, there’s a big creature inside."

"What is it?" said Luo Shuining, "I heard my master mention that there is indeed a very powerful creature underneath, but she doesn’t know what it is either."

Zhang Xian shook his head, "It’s too far away, I can’t sense it. However, it seems to be quite powerful, at least on par with the Innate Realm."

"Can... can you handle it?" Jing Yi asked with furrowed brows.

Zhang Xian said, "As long as it’s not in the Grandmaster Realm, it should be fine. What I’m thinking about now is how should the three of us get down?"

"Look, I have a rope."

Luo Shuining took out a coil of hemp rope from her bag and said, "We’re already prepared, we’ll just rappel down."

"Good, having a rope makes it easier."

Zhang Xian took the rope, tied it to a large tree, and said, "I’ll go down first, you two follow later. When we reach the cave, I’ll deal with the creature inside."

Luo Shuining and Jing Yi nodded.

Grabbing the rope, Zhang Xian swung himself down.

Luo Shuining and Jing Yi followed closely behind.

Although they were women, they were also accomplished martial artists, so rappelling down wasn’t a problem for them.

However, when they arrived at the mouth of the cave, a problem arose. They were now dangling in mid-air, their ropes hanging freely, unable to swing. The cave was several metres away from them.

That is to say, the entrance of the cave was set into the cliff. Although they descended from above, they could not go in. Suspended halfway in the air by a rope, there was no foothold for them to make a leap.

"How do we get down?" Jing Yi asked, frowning.

Zhang Xian considered for a moment before suggesting, "How about you go down first, and I throw you in from here?"

"Can that work?" Jing Yi questioned.

Zhang Xian replied, "At the moment, it seems like the only feasible approach. You hold onto the rope, and after I’ve tossed you inside, secure the rope within the cave so that I can follow."

"Alright then!" Jing Yi agreed, nodding her head. She nervously made her descent until she was directly above Zhang Xian, however, she didn’t proceed further.

Zhang Xian asked, "What’s wrong? Why are you stopping? Do you want me to grab your legs and swing you inside?"

"N...no...I..." Jing Yi gritted her teeth and continued downwards.

By the time she was level with Zhang Xian, she was practically pressed against him. A flush of warmth suffused her face, turning it bright red, and she found herself feeling extremely awkward around him.

"Can you stop overthinking?" Zhang Xian asked.

Jing Yi was so infuriated by his words that she wanted to slap Zhang Xian. She herself wasn’t intentionally being shy, but Zhang Xian’s sudden comment made her so mortified that she wished she could vanish into a crack in the ground.

Zhang Xian said, "Let’s continue."

"You’re truly detestable." Jing Yi fumed.

Zhang Xian took a deep breath in, relishing the gentle fragrance from Jing Yi’s breath before he lapsed into a smirk.

However, he had already resolved to remain noble and upright. Although the beautiful woman in front of him was very tempting, he entertained no inappropriate thoughts. As a cultivator, he naturally had self-discipline.

Jing Yi at this angered rolling her eyes at Zhang Xian before continuing downwards. However, she soon found herself in an even more embarrassing situation.

Right then, she found herself facing Zhang Xian’s crotch. Yes, it was right there in front of her eyes, and it brushed against her face more than once.

"Hurry up...!" Jing Yi sighed after taking a deep breath, encouraging him to move on.

Zhang Xian grumbled, "Master, could you stop blowing there? There is a slight agitation you know."

"You’re the one blowing it!" Jing Yi snapped back.

Zhang Xian retorted, "You were the one blowing hot air towards me, which caused a certain reaction. If you keep blowing there, beware of a possible accident."

"You...You’re disgusting...You pervert..." Jing Yi cursed, grinding her teeth.

Above, Luo Shuining was profoundly confused, "Zhang Xian, Sister, what are you talking about? What’s this about blowing or not blowing?"

"Nothing, just keep hanging there."

After responding to Luo Shuining, Zhang Xian turned to Jing Yi and said, "Master, isn’t it unfair to slander me like this? You were the one blowing air towards me, why are you calling me a pervert? Isn’t it you who was misbehaving?"

"Ah..." Jing Yi shrieked, yelling in frustration, "Damn it Zhang Xian, are you moving or not? Do you find this situation amusing?"

Zhang Xian sighed helplessly, "It’s not that I don’t want to move, but I can’t. Your loud voice just now has aroused the creature in there and it is starting to emerge."

"You’re kidding... right?" Jing Yi was genuinely scared.

Zhang Xian just grinned, without saying a word.

"Roar..."

Just then, an angry roar resounded, and a massive lizard appeared in the cave’s entrance, licking its long tongue.

"Ah..." Jing Yi shrieked in fright, quickly trying to climb up, "It...it’s really coming out?"

Staring at Jing Yi, who was in such close proximity, Zhang Xian grumbled, "Master, behaving like this is making things very tricky for me! I may lose control at any moment."

"You...Pervert..." Jing Yi cursed.

She was just about to ascend when she noticed Luo Shuining right above her with a protruding rock as her footing, so she didn’t go up again. Jing Yi, being stronger than Luo Shuining, could sustain herself for a longer period.

Luo Shuining, on the other hand, had a weaker body. She was already dangling for a long time and with the creature below looking at her, she was bound to give in soon.

"Roar..."

Beneath them, the giant lizard was still roaring, its enormous tail continuously moving about.

Unfortunately, it couldn’t fly. Despite seeing its prey hanging just above, it couldn’t reach them – which indeed frustrated it to no end.

"Um...can...can I hold onto you?" Jing Yi suddenly asked.

Zhang Xian asked in surprise, "What’s... what’s going on? Have... have you fallen for me so quickly that you’re offering yourself to me? Master, you shouldn’t."

"Why don’t you drop dead?" Jing Yi gritted her teeth and replied, "My hands are sore, I can’t hold on anymore. I’m asking you to hold me so I don’t fall. Stop pretending to be innocent while taking advantage."

When Zhang Xian looked up and saw that Luo Shuining had a place to stand, he smiled. He reached out to encircle Jing Yi’s slim waist, pulling her heated body close to his chest.

"Hold me tighter, I don’t dare to let go." Jing Yi said, her face flushing red.

The corners of Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched unnaturally a few times before he tightened his grip, as if he wanted to pull Jing Yi into his body.
