Chapter 1247: Chapter 1247: I Know! I’m Not Afraid!

"What if the higher-ups oppose us?"

Chenyu Xia smiled indifferently and responded to Ye Qingxuan with Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique, her tone firm: "I, Chenyu Xia, will not easily develop feelings for a man. But once I truly fall for someone, no matter how many complications and obstacles I face, I will be with him."

She paused here, took a deep breath, her expression serious and earnest, and said each word with emphasis: "In this world, no one can stop me from being with the man I love!"

"But..."

Ye Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, stole another glance at the two Stewards, and continued transmitting: "Do you know what the consequences of that would be?"

"Hmm, I know. But I’m not afraid!"

Chenyu Xia’s face revealed an unflinching courage, her lips curling into a confident smile: "Fang Bai is even less afraid! If he knew I was here, he would definitely come looking for me... definitely!"

Knowing Fang Bai well, Chenyu Xia was certain that he would break through all barriers to see her if he knew she was at Golden Crow Manor.

It was just that she didn’t know Fang Bai’s current whereabouts, and had no idea how long it would be until they could meet again.

After the training in the Forest of Myriad Medicines was over, Chenyu Xia had already planned to request to travel the True Martial Realm from the Golden Crow Manor’s higher-ups. This would give her a chance to seek news of Fang Bai.

While Chenyu Xia was grateful to Golden Crow Manor for saving her life and providing refuge, she felt there were many ways to repay that kindness. However, under no circumstances would she allow anyone to interfere in her romantic affairs with Fang Bai.

Moreover, Chenyu Xia had always had great confidence in Fang Bai’s strength, thinking that his innate talent far surpassed her own. Now that she herself was a Cosmic Level Expert, Fang Bai’s Cultivation Level must be even more formidable.

As long as Fang Bai knew she was in Golden Crow Manor, even knowing it was a top-tier Sect filled with formidable individuals, he would certainly come fearlessly to meet her.

If Golden Crow Manor were to obstruct Fang Bai, refusing to let him meet her, a conflict would be inevitable in the event of Fang Bai’s forceful entry.

Chenyu Xia did not wish for any conflict to arise between Fang Bai and Golden Crow Manor, but if tensions escalated and a clash became unavoidable, then naturally, Chenyu Xia would stand by Fang Bai’s side.

It had been over a year since Chenyu Xia became a disciple of Golden Crow Manor, and she was well aware of the Sect’s might. Nevertheless, she was mentally prepared— if Fang Bai one day came knocking, it would be best if he could deter the other Sect Disciples with his powerful strength; otherwise, she would join forces with him to fight, leaving the outcome to fate, be it life or death.

Ye Qingxuan knew she could not dissuade Chenyu Xia and was genuinely doubtful about the outcome for Chenyu Xia and her beloved. With a bitter smile, she said no more and sat down cross-legged beside her.

Meanwhile, Chenyu Xia’s expression remained lovesick as she kept reminiscing about every little detail of her time with Fang Bai in the Secular World, her longing growing ever more intense.

Over a dozen Golden Crow Manor Disciples were finding their own spots to rest and recuperate by the creekbank. The two Stewards, Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren, took turns keeping watch to guard against Spirit Beast attacks.

In the dead of night, although the distant roars of Spirit Beasts occasionally disturbed them, fortunately, no Spirit Beasts approached their camp.

A night passed in a flash, and early the next day, the dozen or so disciples of Golden Crow Manor ate some food they carried with them and then set off again, moving towards the core area of the Forest of Myriad Medicines.

In the Forest of Myriad Medicines, there are countless spiritual medicines. However, a top elite sect like Golden Crow Manor, which has overall immense strength, primarily requires high-rank spiritual medicines. High-rank spiritual medicines are mostly found deep within the Forest of Myriad Medicines, even at the core areas. There are not only dangerous terrains but also strong spirit beasts guarding them, making harvesting extremely difficult.

If it weren’t for their mission to enter the mountain for training while also bearing the responsibility to find Blood Bodhi for a severely injured direct disciple of the manor, no one would be willing to enter the core area of the Forest of Myriad Medicines.

The injured direct disciple is the beloved son of Huang Canghai, the current manor master of Golden Crow Manor. His name is Huang Yuanqi, and he is around forty years old. His strength has reached the Cosmic Level of perfection. During a period of training, he had a conflict with disciples from other sects, which led to a severance of his meridians and damage to his Qi Sea, causing him to stay unconscious ever since.

For a martial artist, having severed meridians is already a severe injury, and damage to the Qi Sea is a critical one. It is highly likely that he will be cut off from the Martial Dao and become useless, even worse than a regular person.

Huang Canghai was angry and anxious. He initially wanted to seek revenge against the "culprit" who had severely injured his son. Later, when he learned that the incident was actually instigated by his own son and was self-inflicted, and that the "culprit" was also a disciple from a top elite sect, revenge became complicated, so he had to temporarily suppress his anger.

Huang Canghai was unwilling to let his son become useless like this. Knowing that the high-rank Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill made from Blood Bodhi of over a thousand years could reconnect meridians and repair the Qi Sea, he dispatched manor disciples to search for Blood Bodhi everywhere. The team that Xia Chenyu is in is one of them.

Blood Bodhi is already a rare species among spiritual medicines, and finding one that is over a thousand years old is even rarer. In the Forest of Myriad Medicines, it might only be possible to venture into the seldom-visited core region and try your luck.

"Valuable spiritual medicines are often guarded by powerful spirit beasts nearby. Everyone, be careful!"

"Deploy your spiritual artifacts, just in case!"

Upon entering the core area of the Forest of Myriad Medicines, the voice of Steward Sun Guangyi reached the ears of every Golden Crow Manor disciple.

Consequently, more than a dozen Golden Crow Manor disciples deployed their spiritual artifacts one after another, tense and on high alert. Under the protection of two stewards, one in the front and one in the back, they held their breath, moved slowly, and cautiously proceeded forward, all the while sensing the Essence Energy around them.

Areas with high-rank spiritual medicines tend to have much richer Essence Energy than other places. Almost all martial artists are capable of sensing these variations in Essence Energy.

Martial artists entering mountains and forests to harvest spiritual medicines mostly rely on sensing Essence Energy. The purer and richer the Essence Energy, the higher the grade of spiritual medicines growing there.

In the Forest of Myriad Medicines, filled with spiritual medicines extruding Heaven and Earth Origin Energy in between the trees, which gathers but does not disperse, it’s ideal for cultivation. Therefore, not only do martial artists regard it as a treasure trove, spirit beasts also consider it a paradise.

After entering the core area of the Forest of Myriad Medicines to expand the search area, more than a dozen Golden Crow Manor disciples spread out in a line horizontally, maintaining a distance of about a hundred meters from each other, and advanced together.

"Thousand-Year Melting Origin Grass!"

Suddenly, a disciple from the Inner Court of Golden Crow Manor on the far left exclaimed in excitement and rushed towards a patch of lush grass not far away.

"Yu Hu, be careful!"

Seeing the disciple rush towards the treasure like a madman, Sun Guangyi was startled and immediately shouted a warning.

In the True Martial Realm, spiritual medicines with over a thousand years of medicinal age are considered rare cultivation resources, providing great aid to martial artists’ cultivation. However, such spiritual medicines are usually guarded by spirit beasts with formidable attacking power. If a martial artist dares to approach, they will be considered invaders and subjected to fierce attacks.

The Golden Crow Manor disciple named Yu Hu sensed and discovered the Thousand-Year Melting Origin Grass, which could be used to refine high-rank Gathering Yuan Pills, and in his excitement, rushed out rashly, completely forgetting the presence of spirit beasts guarding it.
