Chapter 63: Mysterious Cave Transmission Array

  The mountain peaks are shrouded in mist and clouds, with no end in sight. The surrounding area is surrounded by steep cliffs that plunge into the depths below.

  "Qiao'er sister, what good thing did you say is here?" Ling Luoyu sat on the ground, looking at Qiao'er with a puzzled expression, and occasionally panting heavily. With Ling Luoyu's physical condition, this continuous sprint almost made him vomit.

  "Ling Shidi, the good thing I'm talking about is just nearby, don't be impatient, let me catch my breath and I'll tell you!" Qiao'er gave a sly smile, not waiting for Ling Luoye to react, she grabbed him again and started running wildly.

  A flurry of indistinct shadows flashed by in front of her, and all Ling Luoye could hear was the sound of "whooshing" wind in her ears. After about half a cup of tea's worth of time, Cui'er suddenly stopped abruptly and put Ling Luoye down casually.

  With a "thud", the Lingluo Feather, which had almost been shaken out by Cui'er's frantic running, was caught off guard and tumbled to the ground in a flurry of somersaults.

  Upon seeing the disheveled Ling Luo Yu, Qiao Er burst into laughter and said: "Ling Shidi, take a look at this place that Shifu found, what do you think?"

  Ling Lu's whole body ached as he smiled wryly and struggled to his feet, looking around at his surroundings.

  Only to see that the place where he was located turned out to be a huge limestone cave, countless colorful stalactites hung down from the top of the high limestone cave, and the stalactites themselves also emitted a thin white mist. The white mist entwined together above the cave, forming a thick layer of purple fog. A drop of crystal-like transparent liquid dripped slowly from the stalactite, gathering in a low-lying area on the ground, forming a small pond that was only about one square meter in size.

  A thin layer of mist enveloped the entire small pond, and even Ling Luo Yu, a novice cultivator, could feel the dense spiritual energy surrounding the pond.

  "How is it? Ling Shidi, this place isn't bad, right?! Cultivating here is much faster than outside, otherwise I wouldn't have reached the Foundation Establishment stage in just ten years! This is my biggest secret, and besides you, I've never told anyone else, not even Master!" Qiao Er excitedly looked at Ling Luoyu, saying proudly.

  Qiao Er is the personal disciple of Wang Zhonggui, the master of Xuanxu Sect. She was also brought into the sect by Wang Zhonggui himself. It's said that Qiao Er's parents had passed away, leaving her an orphan. Fortunately, she was encountered by Wang Zhonggui, who saw that she had good qualifications and took her in as his disciple, bringing her into Xuanxu Sect.

  Qiao Er's cultivation speed was indeed not bad, and in just over a decade, she had successfully built her foundation. Compared to other ordinary cultivators who took tens or even hundreds of years to achieve the same feat, Qiao Er was far stronger. Of course, Qiao Er's rapid progress to the foundation period was also inseparable from Wang Zhongque's deliberate guidance.

  In the entire Xuanxiao Sect, if there's one person who is the most pampered, it would definitely be Qiaoder. Although Qiaoder is a bit mischievous, her cultivation speed is not inferior to that of other core disciples, so over time, she has been indulged and spoiled.

  Standing by the small pond, Ling Luo gently closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated. The inexplicable comfort spread throughout her body, and the lingering soreness from running had also vanished without a trace.

  "What is this?" Ling Luo's gaze fell on a place not far from the cave.

  That place is very different from other places, because in the area of over ten zhangs around there, at least hundreds of white jade stones are placed. As for this white jade stone, Ling Luoye is not unfamiliar with it. He clearly remembers that the several transmission arrays he has passed through were all arranged by this white jade stone.

  "Could this also be a teleportation array?" Ling Luoyu slowly walked up to the white jade stone and began to carefully observe it.

  As for the formation, Ling Luoye had always been very interested. The transmission array inside Tongxian's tomb, Ling Luoye had long wanted to study it, but unfortunately, time was too limited. And now that such a formation is in front of him, Ling Luoye will not let it go.

  In the secular world, Ling Luoyu can be said to be a master of array techniques. However, in the cultivation world, Ling Luoyu has had very little contact with array techniques. Although during his days at Xuanxiao Sect, Ling Luoyu did study some array technique books in the Cangjing Pavilion for a period of time and found some commonalities compared to what he previously knew about array techniques, but given his current status at Xuanxiao Sect, he has no way of accessing higher-level array technique books. For example, this transmission array is an array technique that Ling Luoyu does not understand at all.

  Ling Luo Yu had a habit that whenever he did anything, he was extremely focused, so focused that he could forget everything.

  Time slowly passed by, and Ling Luo's entire mind was completely immersed in this formation...

  "How can Brother Ling be so interested in this pile of broken stones? He's been called several times, but he hasn't responded!" Qiao'er circled around Ling Luoyu a few times, calling out to him several times, and even pushed him heavily with her hands, but Ling Luoyu was completely unaware of it. His entire being had already fully immersed in the realm of the formation.

  "It's already been three hours, how come Ling Shidi hasn't looked at that pile of rocks yet? Oh right, Ling Shidi still hasn't avoided the valley, when he wakes up he'll definitely be hungry. Even if he's not hungry, Chou'er herself is hungry anyway. Since there's nothing to do, go get some food!" Chou'er gently rubbed her belly and thought back to that deliciously plump rabbit she had eaten a few days ago.

  "As an elder sister, I should take good care of my younger brother. Let's go catch a rabbit to eat!" Xue'er muttered to herself as she quickly disappeared into the cave.

  ……

  "This rabbit tastes really good, it's so fat and fresh! How come Ling Shidi hasn't woken up yet!" Xiao'er looked at the last hind leg of the rabbit in her hand, which was roasted to a golden yellow color, emitting a tempting aroma.

  "Ling Shidi, don't blame me for not taking care of you. Master said that when it comes to eating rabbit, one must do it while it's hot, or the flavor won't be good!" Xiao'er grabbed a leg of the rabbit and tore off a large piece before stuffing it into her mouth.

  "Not bad, it's indeed a transmission array, and compared to the ones I saw in Tongxian's tomb before, this one is much more profound. I wonder where this transmission array leads to!" Ling Luoyu slowly opened his eyes, and although he couldn't say that he had fully understood the formation, at least it was no longer a complete mystery like when he first saw it."

  With the help of various array knowledge he had known before and some insights gained from observing the transmission arrays in Tongxian's Mausoleum, Ling Luoye found many similarities between this array and the transmission arrays in Tongxian's Mausoleum. At least, he was certain that the array in front of him was definitely a transmission array.

  Suddenly, Ling Luoyu felt a wave of barbecue aroma wafting before his nose, and only then did he realize that he was already starving. Following the source of the barbecue smell, Ling Luoyu opened his eyes to see Qiao'er grasping a piece of barbecue and chewing it with big mouthfuls.

  Ling Luo shook her head and smiled: "Sister, what are you doing?"

  Qiao'er was taken aback, and in one swift motion, she stuffed the last piece of roasted meat into her mouth. She wiped her greasy hand on the purple shirt under her clothes, and mumbled: "Ling Shidi, have you had enough of that pile of broken stones? I'm afraid you'll go hungry, so I helped roast a rabbit for you to eat. Am I good to you, Shifu?"

  Seeing a pile of leftover meat bones on the ground, Ling Luo bitterly smiled and said: "Qiao Er Shijie, where's the roasted meat you helped me with?"

  Looking at the bones all over the ground, and then looking at her own hands covered in oil stains, Xiao Er's small face turned slightly red. However, she immediately spoke seriously: "It is said that all living beings are equal, for us cultivators, taking lives can be considered a grave sin. Since I am your senior sister, I will bear this sin alone!"

  It's not a smile, nor is it a cry. Ling Luo lightly sighed and said: "Sister, we've been out for quite some time now, let's head back to the sect first! What if Master can't find me when he needs me? That wouldn't be good!"

  "Oh no, I promised Master that I would go to his place today, and he said he wanted to pass on the Xuan Yu Jue Gong Fa to me. I'm afraid it's too late now!" Cui'er exclaimed, and before Ling Luoye could react, she had already grabbed him and rushed off in a mad dash.
