Tong Yan didn't know what he was thinking. At this moment, the wind was gradually rising at the bottom of the cliff, strong winds were sweeping across the lake, and the lake was turbulent, but they were not affected at all here.
He quickly stood up and looked towards him, only to see a flash of golden light and the phantom of a butterfly flying over.
In a few breaths, the wind stopped and the waves came, and all the colors turned into mist and dispersed, revealing the melting ice.
The illusion was finally solved.
The ice unsealed very quickly, and Tong Yan almost fell to the ground after the ice suddenly disappeared under his feet.
She stood firm and patted the non-existent dust. When she looked up, she saw Gu Yuqi in front of her.
He was also lowering his gaze, silently arranging his messy clothes.
He only glanced at Tong Yan and then looked away. There were still two foundation-building monks here, so it was better to see if the golden lotus had been taken away by them first.
Seeing the person next to him leave, Gu Yuqi raised his head slightly, his deep eyes fixed on her back for a moment, and then he took steps to follow her.
The two monks failed to break the illusion and turned into an ice sculpture. Tong Yan glanced around one of them and walked to the side of the pool.
The golden light of the Pure Water Golden Lotus is very dazzling and has extraordinary effects. Just standing next to it makes me feel exhausted.
She reached out and was about to pick it off, but stopped when she thought of something.
He turned back to the other person and said, "Not to mention that whoever sees it has a share. I protected it from being taken away by others. The treasure is divided equally."
Gu Yuqi's eyes stayed on the golden lotus for a moment, and he responded in a moderate tone, "Okay."
Two golden lotuses, one lotus pod, one flower for each person, and half the lotus seed for each person. After dividing them, Tong Yan lost one lotus seed, but these are small things.
What struck her as magical was that after the nasturtiums were picked, the entire pond, including roots and leaves, was removed in the blink of an eye.
"It... runs with long legs?" Tong Yan raised his eyebrows and said something strange.
She seemed to be talking to herself, but the other person in the cave didn't answer. He put away his share of the golden lotus and turned around to leave.
Tong Yan felt bored and shut up obediently. The real Gu Yuqi was much more indifferent than the one in the fantasy.
She had some doubts that the person she met in the fantasy was probably a fake.
No one followed behind him. Gu Yuqi paused for a moment, turned his head slightly and said, "Still not leaving?"
Call her? Tong Yan was stunned, then hesitantly replied, "I'll wait a moment. Do you want the monster you killed?"
Her eyes lingered on the storage bags of the two monks and the body of the dragon, and she coveted the hundreds of spiritual stones.
Gu Yuqi turned around, glanced at her with indifferent eyes, glanced at the corpse of the monster, and said in a calm tone: "No."
"Really?" Tong Yan asked uncertainly. Seeing that he no longer responded, he ran directly to the monster beast, drew his dagger, and started to peel off its skin with great interest.
While Tong Yan was busy, Gu Yuqi unexpectedly did not continue walking, but stood there and waited.
His gaze fell lightly on the person in the distance, his eyes motionless, as if he was deep in thought.
The experience in fantasy and reality are both similar and completely different.
For example, after he found his mother's relics, he wandered for a year and then was taken to the Sword Sect by his master. From then on, he stayed with the Spirit Sword all the year round and concentrated on practicing.
Because the experiences are different, the mentality is naturally different. In the illusion, it seems like ten years, but compared with the real memory, it is just a drop in the ocean and a fleeting cloud.
After Tong Yan disposed of the corpse of the monster, he was a little surprised to see that Gu Yuqi was still there.
Waiting for her? She thought this person had already left.
She walked over and said tentatively, "Then... we can go."
She didn't bother to search the two ice sculptures.
About a quarter of an hour later, Tong Yan was able to see the light of day again. As soon as he came out, he received several messages.
She listened to them one by one and then replied. It didn't take long for Shen Zhuangheng to reply. After reading the message, she realized that more than a month had passed since her trip to the fantasy world.
Tong Yan decided to head south and meet up with Shen Zhuangheng. He looked sideways at Gu Yuqi and said goodbye to him.
"Farewell, see you later."
Gu Yuqi's cold face nodded to Weiwei in return.
Afterwards, Tong Yan took up the spirit sword and left here without looking back.
The retreating figure was soon obscured by the treetops. Gu Yuqi withdrew his gaze and walked in another direction.
It was already the second day when he met up with Shen Zhuangheng. He was with the disciples from Baiyin Valley. After Tong Yan arrived, he formed a separate team with her again.
Time flies, and while everyone is obsessed with the various opportunities in the secret realm, there are only less than twenty days left before the secret realm is closed.
At this time, most of the monks were basically rushing to Xuanta Mountain in the center of the secret realm.
Xuanta Mountain has an independent peak, which looks like a huge sword from a distance, but its internal structure is layered like a tower.
Each level in the tower has its own unique level, which is half as dangerous as other levels in the secret realm, but correspondingly, the treasures inside are more precious and rare.
They were not in a hurry before because this mountain would only appear half a month before the secret realm was closed, so they just had to squeeze in time and arrive before Xuanta Mountain appeared.
Tong Yan and Shen Zhuangheng arrived here just in time. The huge Xuanta Mountain in front of them was between reality and illusion. It was a sign that the tower was about to appear and open the stone gate.
Although the two came in a low-key manner, their outstanding appearance still attracted many surprised and curious eyes.
Some people had attended Tong Yan's apprenticeship ceremony, and after thinking about it for a moment, they determined her identity.
There were already a lot of people waiting there, and people were coming from afar.
After Tong Yan landed, he casually looked around and saw many familiar faces.
Jiang Shixing, Chai Sheng and others from this sect, others named Qi Fanyu, Jiang Qingle, Shen Xinwan...
At this time, the huge mountain in front appeared with great splendor and appeared in the expectant eyes of everyone.
The moment the stone door opened, countless monks quickly flew in. As the dim light at the entrance of the cave continued to flash, there were only a few monks waiting.
Tong Yan and Shen Zhuangheng met at about the same time. When she was about to go in, a sudden voice from behind made her stop.
"master."
Tong Yan turned around and realized that Huo Qi was the only one who could call her that.
There were two outstanding-looking women who came with him. She didn't recognize them. She glanced at them briefly and then passed them and looked at Huo Qizhi.
"How was your training?" Tong Yan asked casually.
“Near miss but no danger.”
"Well, that's good. Xuanta Mountain is open. Let's go in." If a person can appear in front of her, it has already proved that his experience is not bad. She asked this just to fulfill the responsibility of the master and give more condolences and care to the apprentice.
After the group of them entered, they could no longer see the other monks who had entered first. The space around them was covered in flames, and there were only three paths for people to take.
The first pass of Xuanta Mountain is the underground fire passage.
