The rest of the journey went extremely smoothly. Although we encountered a few monsters or animals and plants blocking the road, their levels were not high. Even if they encountered a poisonous miasma, the detoxifying pill carried by Lan Xinyan was the guarantee, and the group was able to cross the Evil Wind Cliff safely.
However, as soon as he came out of the cliff, Fengjing suddenly fell into confusion - the vitality water he originally went to look for was of no importance. After all, all the saplings needed were lost; there was no point in continuing to pursue this water. It makes no sense.
"What happened?"
In fact, several people have already noticed something different: in the past, when there was no war, Feng Jing would always hug a small sapling tightly into his arms. However, after leaving the team at a certain time, he was no longer seen.
"I'm going to Yutang Phoenix Mountain." In fact, before leaving, he had already studied the map many times, had a clear understanding of the surrounding environment, and had made various plans in advance. Although he won't go to his original destination now, it would be a good choice to turn in another direction and visit Yutang Phoenix Mountain.
"Aren't we going to find the vitality water?" Wu Tingjun looked at everyone with a blank expression, as if he had just realized this problem.
He scratched his head and did not realize that Fengjing had not taken out the sapling for a long time. He also did not think about whether the sapling had encountered any accident. He was still muttering to himself: Has he given up on searching for vitality water? But didn’t you vow to find it before?
"No" Feng Jing's voice was still cold, but Lan Xinyan could hear a subtle hint of loneliness in it.
She couldn't help but wonder, was Fengjing's expression like this because of her?
In fact, he threw her away because he was angry?
So now if she gets him a pot of the same tree, will it help him?
Wu Tingjun opened his mouth to say something, but was tapped lightly by Ouyang Cheng beside him. He immediately closed his mouth, looked at each other, and fell silent.
After a long time, Teacher Qiu finally said: "We went out this time to find Lan Yatou. Now that Lan Yatou has returned safely, our goal has been achieved. As for where to go next. There is actually not much difference. So, let’s go with you! "
After all, Ouyang Cheng and others previously claimed that this trip was for experience. It’s a workout wherever you are. Therefore, when Teacher Qiu said these words, he did not specifically seek their opinions.
Fengjing stared at Teacher Qiu quietly, silent, but there was an unquestionable aura exuding around him, which made people clearly feel the resistance in his heart.
Everyone expected Feng Jing to refuse in person without hesitation, but to everyone's surprise, after a slight pause, he just said lightly, "It's up to you."
Although He did not expressly refuseAbsolutely, but obviously not willing to communicate with them. He just glanced at the few people present, then turned around and walked away in the direction of Yutang.
If someone else treated them like this, Lan Xinyan’s personality would be unbearable.
But this person is a child who has been "breastfed" by her since childhood. Faced with this situation, even if she is a little unhappy in her heart, she can choose to be tolerant. After all, a considerable part of the credit for what she has achieved today must be attributed to him.
If he hadn’t always been by her side when she was a child, reading and practicing together, and guiding her on the right path of cultivation, she might not have been able to discover the true method of cultivation so easily; if he hadn’t brought her to Xie Feng Ya, at this time she may still be just an ordinary sapling...
Although Ouyang Cheng and Wu Tingjun have not spent much time with Fengjing, they have heard a lot about it. Regarding his deeds, it is well known that this man does not care about anyone in his heart.
So being able to hear him say a few words and give him a lot of care along the way was actually more satisfying than expected.
Therefore, facing the situation before them, they did not feel any strange at all.
However, it was hard for Lan Xinyan to understand how she turned a blind eye to the three companions, and she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly. You know, if Fengjing had not been the child she had witnessed growing up, she might have chosen to part ways with him.
"Senior Ouyang, don't you realize that Senior Feng is the kind of person who is... not easy to get close to?" Lan Xinyan finally couldn't help but ask.
"Oh? Do you think Senior Feng is too ruthless? Haha, in fact, there is no need to be so reserved. Everyone in our college knows what his personality is like! Since He has always been like this since he was little, and we have long been accustomed to it." Wu Tingjun, who was walking next to Ouyang Cheng, replied with a smile.
"Well, actually, if you look at it from the outside, he does sometimes act a little coldly and unkindly, but his heart is good. No matter who is in our college , whenever you encounter difficulties outside, you can ask him for help."
As for whether he is willing to lend a helping hand, it all depends on his mood at the time. After all, he doesn't help everyone, and only when he's in a good mood, maybe he will pay a little attention.
Wu Tingjun spoke at a high volume, so even Fengjing, who was walking ahead, could clearly hear the content of their conversation. After hearing this conversation, Fengjing couldn't help but turn his head and his eyes fell on Lan Xinyan.
Lan Xinyan's reaction at this time was extremely sensitive. When Feng Jing's sight came over, she immediately noticed it. So, she quickly responded with a smile that she thought was kind and friendly.
However, Fengjing frowned slightly when he looked at Lan Xinyan's smile. He beganFinally, he felt that Lan Xinyan gave him an indescribable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't figure out where this sense of familiarity came from. He has been thinking hard about this issue since he first met Lan Xinyan, and he still has no clue until now.
A series of unexpected things about Lan Xinyan made him suspicious, and he even began to wonder whether Lan Xinyan was related to the demon clan.
The purpose of his trip to Yutang Phoenix Mountain this time was very clear, which was to uncover the mystery behind Lan Xinyan's true identity.
If she is really a member of the demon clan as he suspected, then she will definitely not be able to hide the aura of the demon clan there...
However, Lan Xin Yan had no idea about this, but still embarked on the journey to Yutang Phoenix Mountain with them full of expectation and curiosity.
Phoenix Mountain is not far from where they are and the exit of Xiefeng Cliff. In just half a month's journey, they arrived at the destination they had longed for.
This journey has been smooth despite occasional twists and turns. They encountered harassment from several groups of evil cultivators and robbers along the way, but for their strength, these minor troubles could be easily resolved without Teacher Qiu personally taking action.
Although there are a small number of evil cultivators on Xinglan Continent, their number is insignificant compared to orthodox cultivators.
The reason why these evil cultivators choose this path is mostly due to their lack of spiritual stones and slow progress in their cultivation. Although they may be better than ordinary righteous monks in some aspects after embarking on the path of evil cultivation, such as a slightly faster cultivation speed, it is difficult to achieve real achievements in the end.
After all, righteous cultivation is the right path to the great road.

For those monks whose hands have not yet been stained with too much blood, Lan Xinyan and others did not kill the killer or eliminate the root cause.
However, the lives of these people are also miserable. Teacher Qiu not only abolished their cultivation, but also destroyed their spiritual roots, causing them to become ordinary people with no possibility of cultivating immortals.
Some of the monks could not bear such a huge psychological gap, and committed suicide on the day that Master Qiu abolished their skills; but there are still others who, even though they have become mortals, are still greedy for the world. Trying to continue to survive.
In fact, Lan Xinyan has no feelings about their choice. After all, if it were her, she would definitely choose the latter. After all, who wants to die if she can live...
These days The wave of enemies not only made them endure hardships, but also alleviated the trauma Wu Tingjun suffered from fighting the giant tree.
As Lan Xinyan said: "With your qualifications and situation, you are much superior to many monks. You have extraordinary talent and a good cultivation environment. What else can you be dissatisfied with?" Where is it? "
At that time, Wu Tingjun heard Lan Xinyan sayIt was so enlightening to say that he was overestimating himself before. He only thought of people who were more talented than him, worked harder than him, had higher cultivation than him, were more serious than him, and were more valued than him. However, he did not think of those who were far inferior to him. , people who are still struggling to climb up.
It’s not that Wu Tingjun didn’t think of these, but that he was influenced by the big tree, so his thoughts at the time were a bit extreme, and Lan Xinyan’s words were just a way for him to break through that extreme Just an opportunity for an idea.
When they arrived at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, they found that hundreds of monks had gathered here.
Several people couldn't help but wonder: Could there be a precious treasure coming to this place soon?
Although Lan Xinyan and others knew nothing about the purpose of Fengjing Phoenix Mountain, they still had some understanding of the mountain.
So I know that there are almost no traces of monks on Phoenix Mountain. Even if someone comes occasionally, the number is pitiful.
So now that they saw so many people squatting at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, they instantly became curious.
The appearance of Lan Xinyan and her group naturally attracted the attention of other people present. The group of people glanced at them warily, but quickly looked away.
"Do any of you recognize these people?" Lan Xinyan looked around, and all she saw were unfamiliar faces. Even though she had never met people from the nine major colleges or had only met them once, she had no impression of them.
Ouyang Cheng frowned, looked around, shook his head and said, "These people are all monks above the foundation stage."
In the nine major colleges, they have met many people, but Once they step out of the gate of the academy...the outside world's foundation-building monks will seem particularly strange to them.
"There are not only masters from the seven major sects gathered here, but also many scattered practitioners. Look at the few standing over there, they are from Antelope Valley..."
As a Golden Core monk, Teacher Qiu has been in the world of immortality for many years. Naturally, he has met all kinds of people, and his horizons are much broader than others.
"Since it is good to have someone familiar here, Teacher Qiu, why don't you go over and find out why they are guarding this place?"
Lan Xinyan thought to herself, if There is a treasure hidden here, so since they are here, how can they not share a share of the treasure?
When Teacher Qiu went to inquire about the news, Lan Xinyan cast her eyes on Fengjing, and then moved cautiously towards him. After getting closer, he lowered his voice and asked, "When you come to Phoenix Mountain this time, do you know what will happen here?"
Fengjing showed disgust, glanced sideways at Lan Xinyan, and then He moved his feet a little to the side, deliberately keeping a certain distance from her, and said only two words: "I don't know."
His answer was so concise and clear, but it surprised Lan Xinyan and others. Incessantly. Originally sheThey didn't have any expectations for Fengjing, thinking that he might not pay attention to them, but at this moment, he made an exception and responded, which was really unexpected.
Lan Xinyan seemed to have no idea what was enough, and when she saw Fengjing responding to her question, she approached again, "Then why are you here?"
However, This time, Fengjing turned around neatly, without even giving her an unnecessary glance.
Lan Xinyan stared at his retreating back, lowered her voice and whispered softly, "Little brat." Then she turned back to Ouyang Cheng and others.
Lan Xinyan’s whisper was so soft that it was almost inaudible. She thought no one could hear it, but she obviously underestimated Feng Jing’s keen hearing ability, so even such a small sound was not heard by him. Not a word fell into his ears.
And it was these three simple words that made him raise his eyebrows involuntarily.
Although there are only three words, the meaning contained in it is quite complex. If he and Lan Xinyan had never met, then she would definitely not use such an intimate title. Not only that, this title actually has another meaning - she is older than him, and the age gap is quite large.
So after that, when Lan Xinyan was talking to Ouyang Cheng, his eyes would always pass over her intentionally or unintentionally. However, as the observation deepened, his frown became deeper and deeper.
Because no matter which angle you look at, Lan Xinyan looks like a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Not long after, Teacher Qiu turned back. When he walked towards a few people, although he tried his best to maintain his composure on the surface, the slightly raised corners of his mouth and the unconcealable joy in his eyes still exposed his happy mood at this time.
"Teacher Qiu, are there any precious treasures that are about to appear?" Before Teacher Qiu could get closer, Lan Xinyan couldn't wait to greet her.
Teacher Qiu glanced at Lan Xinyan with a look of disgust, then looked around at the unfriendly eyes, quickly stretched out his hand to drag Lan Xinyan back to Ouyang Cheng and others, and scolded in a low voice, "You Since this little girl knows everything, why does she shout it out so loudly? Others are hiding it for fear of leaks, but how can you be like this..."
Lan Xinyan rolled her eyes and retorted unconvincingly, "With so many people waiting here, doesn't it tell the world that there are strange treasures here?"
After that, she still said provocatively He looked around at the crowd around him.
Lan Xinyan despised the behavior that tried to be obvious. If they really didn’t want people to know, shouldn’t they hide it and do it secretly?
