"Who? Who is it? Who is speaking in my mind?"
Liu Chuan felt the voice in his mind and his heart skipped a beat.
"A junior who hasn't even reached the Divine Soul Realm dares to randomly barge in without knowing anything. Should I say that you aren't afraid of death, or are you stupid?" That pleasant voice sounded again.
Liu Chuan felt that he had never heard such a pleasant voice in his entire life. Even the sound of nature was nothing compared to this.
However, it was a hurtful remark.
Before he could ask further, he heard the heavenly voice continue speaking, "If you want to live, do as I say. Remember not to take the wrong step."
"Yes, Senior." Liu Chuan immediately understood that he had met a senior expert. Thus, he hurriedly replied respectfully.
"Could this be an ancient and mighty figure from the ruins?"
Liu Chuan thought to himself.
"Take another 50 steps forward, then turn right 30 degrees before taking another 30 steps forward. Hey, why are you so stupid? 30 degrees, dummy."
"Turn left. What are you standing there for? Are you going to stay there?"
"…"
"Dummy, keep taking 100 steps forward…"
Liu Chuan suddenly began to doubt whether this 'senior' was really a senior. How could a senior be like this? Furthermore, their voice didn't make them seem like a senior.
He took his 28th step, 29th step, and the 30th step. This was the last step!
Following the guidance of the voice in his mind, Liu Chuan finally reached the end step by step.
After Liu Chuan took the last step, the black fog around him started to grow thin and dissipate. It was as if he could see the sun again.
He could even hear that when the darkness dissipated, it seemed like it was roaring…
Liu Chuan bowed slightly to the front and thanked the senior. "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
However, when Liu Chuan looked around, he actually couldn't find the senior expert who had just guided him.
Meanwhile, Wu Zhixin, who was on his back, had passed out at some point. Liu Chuan called out a few times but she did not wake up. However, he felt that her breathing was stable, so he did not continue to call her. It would be good to let her rest like this.
"Senior, where are you?" Liu Chuan asked respectfully.
"Go straight ahead. Find a small pond and you can see me."
The ethereal voice sounded in his mind again.
"Yes, Senior," replied Liu Chuan.
Liu Chuan carried Wu Zhixin on his back and walked forward step by step.
Not long after, Liu Chuan walked to the "small pond".
"How is this a small pond?" Liu Chuan was speechless as he looked at the boundless body of water in front of him.
The "pond" was dark green in color and sparkled with light. The surface of the water rippled with a delicate fragrance. Meanwhile, the clear surface of the water was like a piece of transparent green glass. There was actually nothing under the surface of the water. There wasn't even a fish swimming around. In the entire pond, apart from the green lotus floating on the surface of the water, there was nothing else.
The green lotus did not have any vines or branches. Its clear fragrance traveled into the distance, and immortal light radiated from its body.
Liu Chuan helplessly spoke again, "Senior, can you show yourself? I've already arrived by this 'pond'."
"Dummy, I called you're dumb, but you're really dumb. Aren't I right in front of you?"
The voice of the 'senior expert' sounded in his mind again.
"Right in front of me?" Liu Chuan was stunned. "Could it be?"
He turned towards the green lotus and bowed slightly. Liu Chuan probed, "Senior, is that you?"
"At least you're not too stupid. You're worthy of being taught." The voice resounded once more, and the green lotus twisted its 'body' in a human manner.
Liu Chuan was speechless.
Liu Chuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the fact that the senior he had been addressing for so long was a plant. However, when he thought about the ability of the green lotus, he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary plant.
If he wanted to find Lin Sisi and Monkey, he had to rely on this green lotus.
"Senior, thank you for saving my life. My name is Liu Chuan. In the future, if there's anything I can help you with, feel free to tell me." Liu Chuan bowed.
"There's no need to talk about the future. Let's do it now."
Liu Chuan was confused.
This process wasn't right. Shouldn't they exchange pleasantries before the senior gave him some treasures?
Why didn't this lotus follow the rules?
However, after pondering for two seconds, Liu Chuan still said, "My strength is rather low. I'm afraid I can't help Senior for the time being."
"Do you want to find your two companions?"
"Senior…" Liu Chuan was delighted.
"Their lives are not in danger for now, but if we delay any longer, it will be hard to say."
"Please guide me, Senior."
"Do what I tell you. There will naturally be benefits for you. Your friends can also be saved."
As soon as the green lotus finished speaking, immortal light began to radiate from its body, and the image of a beautiful young girl appeared.
The illusory girl bent down and hugged the green lotus. Gradually, the illusory figure fused into the green lotus.
Five flower buds, one large and four small, appeared on the green lotus. At this moment, a dazzling immortal light was released from the flower buds.
Liu Chuan hurriedly closed his eyes. This immortal light flickered like an aurora. If he continued looking, he would go blind.
After a long time, the light dissipated. Liu Chuan opened his eyes and looked over.
Some of the lotus leaves on the green lotus actually began to wither and turn yellow. Meanwhile, two of the five flower buds bloomed. He saw one big and one small lotus seed floating above the lotus.
The larger lotus seed was vibrant green, and there was an immortal glow within it. As for the smaller lotus seed, it was suffused with a purple immortal glow. At a glance, one could tell that the two lotus seeds were extraordinary treasures.
Meanwhile, the other three small buds were still tightly shut.
"I'll send you to a place later. There's a straw hut there. You can hand this green lotus seed to the green-clothed woman in the hut. As for the purple lotus seed, it's a defensive treasure that I will give you. It can ensure your safety."
At this moment, the voice of the green lotus was filled with weakness. It was obvious that the green lotus had paid a huge price to condense the two lotus seeds.
Just as the green lotus finished speaking, the two lotus seeds slowly floated towards Liu Chuan.
The moment the purple lotus seed touched Liu Chuan, it burrowed into his right hand. With a purple flash, the lotus seed transformed into a purple lotus seed mark that appeared in Liu Chuan's palm.
Meanwhile, the green lotus seed floated in front of Liu Chuan and he gently grabbed it.
When the green lotus seed saw this, it said, "Let's set out. Your friends might not be saved if we're late."
After the green lotus finished speaking, it moved and another strand of immortal light shot out. It stopped before Liu Chuan and actually transformed into an immortal boat.
The immortal boat was surrounded by brilliant lights and vibrant colors, and it was extremely extraordinary.
Liu Chuan didn't say anything else. He first put away Dogshit, then jumped onto the immortal boat with Wu Zhixin on his back. This immortal boat wasn't too big or small. It was just enough to accommodate two people.
As soon as he stepped onto the immortal boat, Liu Chuan let go of Wu Zhixin, who was behind him. However, before he could sit still, the immortal boat whizzed across the water surface.
Liu Chuan could only shout, "Thank you, Senior! Ahhhh~~~"
Then, there was no sign of him…
This speed was too fast. It felt a thousand times more exciting than the roller coaster ride he had taken before. Liu Chuan couldn't help but scream.
Wu Zhixin also woke up after hearing Liu Chuan's scream. After seeing this scene, she couldn't help but scream, "Ahhhh!" Then, she… fainted again.
Sigh, this unlucky child.
