"Fellow Daoist Gu, what do you mean, this rain is consuming my junior brother's spiritual energy?" Murong Yi asked with a frown.
"Moreover, the consumed spiritual energy cannot be restored." Gu Qingxi said with a serious expression.
Hearing what Gu Qingxi said, Murong Yi's expression also changed.
If, as Gu Qingxi said, spiritual power is slowly being consumed and cannot be restored, what will be the consequences if it continues like this?
It's scary to think about it.
"No, I don't think it's anything serious. I'm just a little tired. It's nothing to lose a little spiritual power." Yin Junrong saw that Murong Yi and Gu Qingxi's expressions were not very good, so he comforted them.
"Although you have lost very little spiritual energy now, over time, it will accumulate a lot. You can try meditating, breathing, and absorbing spiritual energy." Gu Qingxi said in a deep voice.
Seeing Gu Qingxi's solemn attitude, Yin Junrong did not dare to be careless. He quickly found a stone, made a cushion, sat down cross-legged, and began to try to absorb spiritual energy.
As a result, after a moment, he opened his eyes in shock and looked at Gu Qingxi and Murong Yi: "I, it seems that I really can't absorb spiritual power."
When Gu Qingxi heard this, he kicked Yin Junrong off the mat and tried to meditate to restore his spiritual power.
Soon, Gu Qingxi opened her eyes, her face as dark as water.
Seeing this, Feng Xiatian and Kong Kong instantly understood that Gu Qingxi and Yin Junrong were in the same situation. Neither of them could absorb spiritual power in this mist.
Then the problem is serious.
A reservoir that cannot let in light will eventually be stretched thin.
Murong Yi also tried to meditate to absorb spiritual energy. After a while, she opened her eyes, frowned and said to Gu Qingxi: "Fellow Taoist Gu, do you think it is caused by the rain and fog?"
"This seems to be the case at the moment, but we are not completely sure. The two times Yin Daoyou felt uncomfortable were after it rained and fogged up. But I didn't feel that the fog had any toxins." Gu Qingxi stretched out his hand to catch two drops of rainwater.
He added, "I don't feel anything unusual about the rain."
Murong Yi was also observing the surrounding fog, and then she shook her head: "I can't feel anything abnormal either." But there are some things that don't look strange on the surface, and there may be big problems inside.
Gu Qingxi was silent for a moment: "This secret realm is a bit unusual."
What Gu Qingxi actually wanted to say was that this secret realm was a bit weird. At this moment, she remembered that before entering the secret realm, she opened her spiritual eyes to see Xia Tian and Kong and the others. As a result, what the spiritual eyes foretold was that it was extremely dangerous, with nine deaths out of ten.
"I think this secret realm is not simple. If possible, we should leave earlier. But the secret realm has been closed, and it will take four months to open again." Murong Yi said, "Before that, if you want to leave the secret realm, you must break through to the Yuan Dynasty.
Baby, he will naturally be ejected from the secret realm at that time."
Murong Yi has an innate sensitivity to danger. At this time, her intuition told her that there was something wrong with this secret place, and leaving early was the best choice.
Feng Xiantian thought of the teleportation talisman. He turned his eyes to Gu Qingxi and asked if it was possible. Gu Qingxi shook his head slightly after understanding.
The secret realm actually exists in another space, not the same space as the world of cultivation. Therefore, the teleportation talisman cannot be used.
If she could leave here after being promoted to Nascent Soul, she, Xia Tian, and Murong Yi would have no problem.
But not Qu Yian and Yin Junrong.
Moreover, there should be many people she knows coming into this secret realm.
She couldn't help but ignore those friends.
"Then what should we do now?" Feng Xiatian asked.
"Take one step at a time and be careful. Once the secret realm is opened, we will leave immediately." Gu Qingxi said.
Everyone nodded and continued walking to the top of the mountain.
Yin Junrong said as he walked: "Miss Gu, senior sister, do you think we should find a place to hide without using spiritual power or contact with the mist. After four months, we will leave the secret realm. What do you think?"
"It sounds feasible, but it may not be that simple." Gu Qingxi thought of the densely packed swords at the bottom of the lake, and the ominous premonition in her heart grew.
"We can try not to be exposed to the rain and fog first and see if my junior brother's condition improves," Murong Yi said.
Gu Qingxi nodded.
Then everyone continued to head to the top of the mountain. After finding the ingredients Qu Yian wanted, Murong Yi dug a cave in the mountain with his heavy sword and signaled everyone to hide in it.
It was still raining outside, so Gu Qingxi arranged a barrier to completely separate the cave from the outside, preventing the fog from drifting in.
She also wanted to verify whether the inability to recover spiritual power was related to the fog.
In the cave, Feng Xiatian took out the luminous ore and embedded it on the stone wall of the cave, illuminating the entire cave.
Qu Yian was taking out the meals he had prepared before and placing them on the table: "Eat something first, and then we'll talk when you're full."
Murong Yi thanked her, sat down at the table, and started eating seriously.
I have no clue about the secret realm now, so let’s start with the food.
After eating, everyone meditated and rested.
Gu Qingxi also laid out a mat in the corner of the cave and began to meditate.
After entering concentration, the surroundings seemed to become extremely quiet, and she sensed the spiritual energy around her.
The spiritual energy in this secret realm is actually very abundant, but it seems to be extremely difficult to absorb at this moment.
Although it is difficult, it can indeed be absorbed.
So, is it really related to the fog?
Yin Rongjun has the lowest strength, so when he comes into contact with rain and fog, his spiritual power will be corroded and cannot be restored?
So now that he is not exposed to the mist, can Yin Junrong absorb spiritual power?
Thoughts were swirling in Gu Qingxi's heart.
Gradually, Gu Qingxi suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ethereal state.
It's like entering a fantasy world again.
Because everything around has changed.
The surroundings became pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Suddenly, a little white light appeared in front of him, and then the surrounding gradually became hazy, and he could barely see his surroundings clearly.
But there was nothingness all around.
Gu Qingxi looked towards the bright light, but was surprised to find a figure appearing there.
A tall figure in white clothes stood there quietly, exuding a gentle white light.
The white light that illuminates the surroundings is emanating from this person.
who is it?
Who is this person?
Did she enter a fantasy world? How did she get in?
Was this the person who caused her to fall into a fantasy?
She actually fell into the illusion without realizing it. Is this person's strength already so terrifying? But this secret realm can only allow monks with Jindan and below to enter.
Gu Qingxi had many questions in her mind at this moment, but she couldn't find any answers.
At this moment, the figure waved gently to Gu Qingxi, seemingly gesturing for her to walk over.
Gu Qingxi walked towards the figure, and the figure stopped where she was, waiting for her.
