Chapter 362
“Mr. Xiao, I heard that you’re looking for Growing Earth?” Xie Wanran asked with a faint smile, her hands clasping behind her back.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said expectantly, “Yes, Miss Xie. Do you have any news about it? ”
“Coincidentally, I have a fragment of the map.”
Xiao Jinting paused, a trace of surprise coming across his eyes. It was too coincidental. He had just got a fragment of the map fragment, and Xie Wanran came to tell him she had it as well.
“Miss Xie, what do you want to exchange?”
Xie Wanran smiled delightfully and said, “I see that your cultivation has improved so quickly. You must have pills that benefit Golden Cores cultivator.”
“Okay,” Xiao Jinting quickly took out two pills.
The pills were refined with the cores of demonic beasts. Most of the pills in Nebula were refined this way. Xiao Jinting had been assimilated into the local customs and refined the demonic beast cores although he didn’t lack spiritual herbs.
Xie Wanran took the pills and left with satisfaction.
Xu Muan looked at the map and asked, “Is it from Miss Xie?”
“Yes.”
Xu Muan was confused, “I don’t think she lacks pills.”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “I agree. Maybe she wants to know something from the pills.”
As the saying went, “Love your neighbor, but don’t pull down your hedge.” For safety’s sake, Xiao Jinting didn’t give Xie Wanran the pills made of the spiritual herbs in his space. Instead, he gave her the pills refined with demonic beast cores. Although Xie Wanran looked happy, Xiao Jinting felt that she was disappointed.
“It is such a coincidence,” Xu Muan murmured.
The map from Xie Wanran happened to fit in with the map from Mu Jinzhi. Xu Muan wonder if this was a coincidence or intentional design.
Xiao Jinting put the fragments of the map together. The map from Mu Jinzhi was incomplete and gave no information. With Xie Wanran’s map, it became much clearer.
Xu Muan widened his eyes in surprise. “It’s in Cloud Prairie.”
Xiao Jinting put away the map and said, “No matter what, we have to go there. Otherwise, the spiritual stones spent on this map will be wasted.”
“I feel Miss Xie is weird,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jinting glanced at Xu Muan and said, “Come on, don’t think too much. After the secret realm opens, we will go take a look. We just need to be careful.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Okay.”
…
When the entrance to the secret realm started to quiet down, Xiao Jinting and several other Golden Cores worked together to stabilize the entrance and sent the Foundation Establishment cultivators into the realm through the entrance.
According to the schedule, the secret realm would reopen in half a year. After sending the cultivators away, Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan left.
“Is it here?” Xiao Jinting asked Xu Muan.
Xu Muan nodded, “I think so.”
“There is an illusory array in this place.”
After Xiao Jinting broke the array, he saw a few small bamboo cottages which looked old with cracks.
Xu Muan looked at the run-down bamboo cottages and frowned. “There seems to be a spiritual field in front of the bamboo houses. Did anyone planted in the spiritual field before?”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Maybe.” Ten million years ago, the spirit field here might have been a top-grade spiritual field. However, time had changed everything, and the Spiritual Qi in the field was limited and low-quality.
“Watch out.”
Xiao Jinting grabbed Xu Muan and leapt away.
A hidden killing array appeared. Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan had been in the center of the killing array. If it weren’t for Xiao Jinting’s strong soul force and quick reaction, they would have been doomed.
Xu Muan spoke up with a cold face, “Miss Xie, since you’re here, why don’t you show up?”
Xu Muan felt something wrong with his ankle. A vine wrapped around his ankle, and he cut off the vine with his knife.
More vines came at him.
A huge ancient tree suddenly broke through the ground. It was hundreds of feet tall and Xie Wanran stood on the top.
Xu Muan looked at Xie Wanran and said to himself, “Flattery out of no reason is dangerous. This woman is not simple.”
Xie Wanran stood in the center of the ancient tree, her long hair moving without wind. Even though Xie Wanran’s countenance hadn’t changed, Xu Muan felt she had a sophisticated air as if she had lived for thousands of years.
“Miss Xie, what do you mean?” asked Xu Muan.
Xie Wanran smiled coldly. “Now that we’ve come to this stage, questions are unnecessary.”
Xu Muan thought to himself, “Indeed. We have become enemies, and there is no need for questions.”
Xie Wanran looked at Xiao Jinting and said gloomily, “I’ve underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to escape from the array. Although you are at the advanced level of Golden Core, your soul force is stronger than a Nascent Soul. However, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. You must die today.”
Xiao Jinting’s face darkened. He had a bad feeling.
“Let’s go,” Xiao Jinting pulled Xu Muan up and flew up into the sky. The ten arrays on the ground were connected and had a huge explosion.
Xiao Jinting threw the Tripod of Heaven and Earth to protect them from the explosion and then quickly put it away into the space.
Xie Wanran looked at Xiao Jinting with a shocked expression on her face. “You are indeed lucky. I’m surprised that you even got the Tripod of Heaven and Earth.”
Xu Muan was shocked. He got the tripod from Nebula. How could Xie Wanran recognize it?…
