Chapter 69 Who Came

  Gently picked up a low-grade Ling Stone, Ling Luo Yu slowly placed it into the hole in the white jade stone at the center of the formation.

  The action was very light and gentle, and Ling Lu's expression was very serious. He couldn't help but be serious, because he didn't want any problems to arise with the transmission array due to his slightest carelessness.

  "It seems that the number of spirit stones has nothing to do with activating this formation, the key lies in the quality of the spirit stones!" Originally, Ling Luoye thought that he could make up for the lack of spiritual energy in the low-grade spirit stones by using a large quantity of them. However, it was clear that his idea wouldn't work, because as soon as he put just one low-grade spirit stone into the hole, it immediately closed automatically.

  Ling Fei retreated several meters away, carefully observing the reaction of the transmission array after inserting the low-grade spirit stone.

  "Hmm, Ling Shidi, this pile of rocks is actually an array, I've been here many times before, how did I not discover it?" Qiao Er rubbed the back of her head, also curiously observing the reaction of the transmission array beside Ling Luoyue.

  "It seems that this low-grade spirit stone doesn't have enough spiritual energy to activate the transmission array after all!" Seeing that the transmission array didn't show any unusual signs, Ling Luoye smiled wryly and was about to walk forward to take out the low-grade spirit stone from within the transmission array.

  "Ling Shidi, wait a minute! Look, the transmission array is glowing!" Qiao'er grabbed Ling Luoyu's arm and pointed at the transmission array, shouting excitedly.

  Ling Luo Yu stopped in her tracks and looked in the direction that Qiao Er was pointing.

  Only to see that the transmission array was indeed as Cui'er said, emitting a burst of light, but the light was not only weak, and it was also flickering.

  "This kind of formation, who dares to use it? The transmission array can directly transmit from one region to another, which is already beyond the bounds of space. However, this transmission array in front of us may not be able to transmit normally at all. If used carelessly, it's likely to be transmitted to an unknown location, and even more likely to be directly transmitted into a spatial rift!" Ling Luoye furrowed his brow and smiled wryly.

  "Ah! It seems there's no high-quality spirit stone, this transmission array can't be used normally!" Ling Luoyu sighed and took a few steps forward, taking out the low-quality spirit stone from the white jade stone in the center of the formation.

  "By the way, Qiao'er Shijie, you just mentioned something about Haitian Pavilion when you came in, what's going on?" Ling Luoyu asked casually, looking at Qiao'er.

  At the mention of Haitian Pavilion, Qiao'er felt a surge of resentment.

  She sighed and said, "Qiao'er thinks that her cultivation speed is absolutely the first in the entire Xuanxiao Sect. However, there's a junior sister from Haitian Pavilion who's even more outrageous. I heard she entered the sect less than a year ago and has already successfully built her foundation. It's also said that this junior sister has been designated as the next pavilion master of Haitian Pavilion! What's even more infuriating is that since this junior sister arrived, all the senior brothers have been surrounding her, completely ignoring Qiao'er and refusing to play with her!"

  "Don't think I don't know what they're getting at, it's all because of that junior sister from the Haitian Pavilion who's next in line to be the pavilion master, trying to curry favor and get on her good side. If they're lucky enough to win her approval, that would really be a step up to heaven!"

  Hearing Qiao's words with a strong vinegar flavor, Ling Luo Yan smiled calmly.

  She glared at Ling Luoyu and said with a bad tone, "What are you laughing at? I heard that the female fellow disciple also entered this Xuanming Cultivation Realm through Tongxian's Mausoleum. She should have come in with you, Brother Ling. Do you know her?"

  "Is it with me? Haitian Pavilion, could it be Zitian?" Ling Luo Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

  "Yes, it must be Zi Die, he must have come looking for me!" Thinking of his own physical condition, Ling Luo Yu felt a little down.

  What if it's really Zixie? How should I face her? She has already built a foundation, but what about me? My meridians are blocked, and I don't even have the qualifications to cultivate, let alone know if I can make it through the year. Will Zixie care? Even if she doesn't care, Ling Luoye will definitely care.

  "The gap in strength has made the distance between me and Zitian farther and farther apart. Others have already become the next master of Haitian Pavilion, while I am still indulging in the Xuanxiao Sect, struggling to survive. Alas! We can be said to be people from two different worlds now. Is there still hope for us to go back to how things were before?" Ling Luoye let out a long sigh and shook his head with a bitter smile.

  Although Ling Luoyu thought so, his heart's eager desire to see Zi Die was getting stronger and stronger.

  "Just one glance, as long as I can see the purple butterfly once more, I'll be content!" Ling Luo Yu gently pulled Xiao Er's hand and headed towards the outside of the cave.

  Although Qiao often took Ling Luoyu's hand proactively, it was still the first time that Ling Luoyu had taken hers.

  Ling Luo Yu's casual movement caused Qiao Er's cheeks to flush slightly, but Qiao Er only lightly showed a hint of resistance before allowing Ling Luo Yu to lead her by the hand outwards.

  However, when they walked out of the cave, their positions changed again. Ling Luoye's speed was a bit too slow, and it would take him who-knows-how-long to return to the sect with Qiao'er in tow. Although Qiao'er seemed unhurried, Ling Luoye didn't want to wait that long; he had only one thought in his mind - to see Zi Die as soon as possible.

  Under Ling Luo's repeated requests, Qiao'er finally nodded with a pout.

  Although Qiao'er agreed, she seemed to be competing with Ling Luoyu, running at an even faster speed. Ling Luoyu felt the strong gusts of wind hitting her face, and her body was buffeted by the rapid airflow, causing waves of nausea to rise up.

  Soon, Qiao Er brought Ling Luo Yu to his den and threw him to the ground with a huff.

  "Qiao'er, do you know where the guest staying at Haitian Pavilion is? Can you tell me?" Ling Luoyu sat on the ground, panting for a few breaths, feeling slightly relieved, and immediately asked.

  "Ling Luo Yu, I thought you were different from the other brothers, but it turns out you're just as eager to rush back and see those sisters at Hai Tian Ge. I'm not going to bother with you anymore!" Cui Er stormed off, her anger boiling over, without even looking back at Ling Luo Yu's cave.

  "Hey! I just wanted to see if the Sea Sky Pavilion was really the Purple Disc, why is Ling'er Shijie so angry?" Ling Luoyu sighed and slowly got up, walking towards the outside of the cave.

  Since Qiao'er said that those fellow disciples were all surrounding the few female disciples who came to Haitian Pavilion, they should know where the guests of Haitian Pavilion are staying! Although these fellow disciples have been very indifferent lately, it's just asking about the place where the guests of Haitian Pavilion live, they should tell me! Ling Luoye thought for a moment and walked towards the nearby Butong's cave mansion.
