Chapter 671: Pure in Heart and Spirit

Ruo Ping Fairy suppressed her anger forcefully inside her heart as she pointed to the stone platform and said with an indifferent tone, “Junior Sister, are you sure can hold back? Could it be that you still haven’t realized that something is missing from this cave?”
Shui Ruolan shot a glance and saw the withered long vine and that the sleeping divine white tiger had also disappeared.
If she were a normal person, certainly she would have revealed a surprised expression upon seeing such a situation. However, Shui Ruolan seemed to have seen nothing and did not reveal the slightest change through her expression, like an ancient well without any ripples. She only gave a slight sigh and did not speak any further.
“Junior Sister, the Supreme Dao Fruit is gone! Could it be you still haven’t realized this?” Ruo Ping Fairy was infuriated to the extent that her lungs might explode. They were just waiting to harvest this Supreme Dao Fruit.
Ruo Ping Fairy knew that this time, the Supreme Dao Fruit were twins. She realized unconsciously that currently, the only one most eligible to consume this Supreme Dao Fruit at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage was her!
Among her other fellow disciples, the strongest few were only at the Perfect Void Martial Stage and less developed than her. She was also the Senior Sister. Everything in the scenario pointed to her deserving one of the fruits to reach the Supreme Dao Stage.
Since she had been carrying such ambitions, Ruo Ping Fairy valued this Supreme Dao Fruit with great importance. Now, fruit had disappeared without a trace. How could it not cause her to feel a deep rage?
She even doubted whether or not this Junior Sister had deliberately ignored its disappearance?
“The Chiefs all value the Supreme Dao Fruit with great importance. Junior Sister, this Supreme Dao Fruit has disappeared under your watch. Could it be you did not hear any of this happening?” Ruo Ping Fairy still restrained some of her fears regarding Shui Ruolan for she did not dare to speak too harshly.
Shui Ruolan shook her head. “I was training down at the abyss and had just entered meditation mode. If you hadn’t come here, I would still have been in meditation.”
Ruo Ping Fairy opened her eyes widely and looked from left to right, for clearly, she wanted to know whether this Shui Ruolan was lying or telling the truth. Yet, regardless of how she looked, she could not see any flaws in this response. From beginning to end, Shui Ruolan remained calm and collected without giving off any big movements.
“Ah, Junior Sister, with the disappearance of this Supreme Dao Fruit, I am afraid the few Chiefs will fly into a terrible rage. You should think about how to deal with their rage,” Ruo Ping Fairy said with a seemingly caring tone. It sounded as though she was worried for Shui Ruolan. In fact, she wanted to draw a crack on Shui Ruolan’s calm heart.
Unexpectedly, Shui Ruolan still just made a slight sigh before saying, “I understand.”
With such a simple answer, it seemed as though Ruo Ping Fairy’s words had hit a sack of cotton, for their impact was next to nothing.
“Junior Sister, the person who stole the Supreme Dao Fruit has most likely not yet left. Now across the entire Ten Thousand Flower Valley, everyone is pursuing the fruit thief, would you like to contribute? Or still hide here and train?”
Now, Shui Ruolan’s eyelashes jumped as she raised her head. “Is that so? He’s still not gone?”
“Yes, per our estimation, this fruit thief could not have had enough time to escape. Not long after the divine beast had left, I activated the Supreme Dao defenses of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley. The speed of the thief could not have been that fast! Besides, we suspect that the thief is most likely Xin Wuji, the son of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain of the Xuan Yuan Mound!”
When Ruo Ping Fairy said this, suddenly, she asked intentionally, “By the way, Junior Sister, your hometown is also in the Xuan Yuan Mound, right? Do you know this Xin Wuji?”
Shui Ruolan shook her head lightly. “No. I’ve been raised in a valley. Besides the villagers there, I don’t know anyone else.”
Ruo Ping Fairy chuckled. “I hope so, ha ha. Alright, Junior Sister, I am going to chase after the thief.”
After she had finished, she did not linger and with a flash she left the cave.
When Shui Ruolan saw Ruo Ping Fairy leave, she gave a serene sigh and turned to look at the withered long vine on the stone platform. Inwardly, she thought, “Is it Xin Wuji? It’s impossible to be Xin Wuji. I would not remember that familiar feeling with mistake, it’s surely him. It’s Brother Qin. My perception would not be wrong!”
Initially, Shui Ruolan had been training at the abyss. Before Qin Wushuang had entered before the stone platform, she had already seen the situation above the abyss through her remarkable ability.
Although Qin Wushuang was wearing the mask, due to Shui Ruolan’s innate qualities, she had felt a strange feeling and instinct that this person was Qin Wushuang.
Such instinct was an ability Shui Ruolan had possessed since she was born. Now, after latent nurturing, it had become sharper. Most importantly, Qin Wushuang was a person she had clung to the most. Naturally, this instinct had become stronger.
When Qin Wushuang took out the Graceful Spiritual Bow, in that instant, Shui Ruolan’s graceful heart was shaken. She immediately realized that her instinct was not wrong.
Initially, Qin Wushuang had used the Graceful Spiritual Bow at the Bowl Valley and left a deep impression on Shui Ruolan. Now, seeing the Graceful Spiritual Bow again, how could Shui Ruolan not be certain that it was Qin Wushuang?
Therefore when Qin Wushuang was dashing through that Supreme Dao barrier and taking the divine fruit, she did not activate the most powerful defense prohibition.
Qin Wushuang was lucky. If Shui Ruolan had activated the strongest defense from the abyss, even if Qin Wushuang were to possess double the strength, it would not have been enough to take the fruit.
For a period of time, Shui Ruolan was concerned. Only when Qin Wushuang had left and taken the Supreme Dao Fruit, she had realized the light. Inwardly, she did not feel the slightest regret from losing the Supreme Dao Fruit. On the contrary, she find it strange why Brother Qin had come to the Illusion Heavenly Lake in the first place? To the Ten Thousand Flower Valley? Could it be he was here for me?
Upon thinking of this, Shui Ruolan’s heart thumped as it moved up and down. She blushed all the way to the end of her ears.
Guarding the Supreme Dao Fruit, even though she was an heir to the Emei Daoist Sect, Shui Ruolan had never liked these things that were forcefully put onto her.
After she was taken to the Emei Daoist Sect by that woman in palace clothing and given hundreds of advantages from the sect, Shui Ruolan did not know how to refuse them nor did she know how to be happy. Deep inside her heart, she still liked that serene little valley and that peaceful life aloof from the outside world.
However, she could not return to it.
“Brother Qin, have you truly not escaped from the Ten Thousand Flower Valley? Did you truly not escape this place?” Thinking here, suddenly the expression of Shui Ruolan had changed slightly.
With a motion, she disappeared from within the cave. Although Shui Ruolan was also at the Perfect Void Martial Stage, her true power was no less than Ruo Ping Fairy, who was at the peak of the Profound Mysterious Stage.
The immemorial secret technique was extremely powerful. It had allowed Shui Ruolan to turn a new leaf in just a few short years.
Even for Qin Wushuang, most likely he would be shocked to see Shui Ruolan now.
…
On the other hand when Qin Wushuang and Xin Wuji chased after one another, in the end they still kept the same distance as the very beginning. Now, Xin Wuji had to admit that it would be impossible to catch up to Qin Wushuang!
However, Xin Wuji would not be reconciled if he were to let Qin Wushuang get his way!
Suddenly, Qin Wushuang stopped his footsteps and moved his eyeballs. He looked at the Observant Finger Jade Plate and revealed a sudden smile. “That Xin Wuji has stopped?”
From the Observant Finger Jade Plate, Xin Wuji had stopped. Since it had not even been three days, it would be impossible for him to have spent all his energy.
With Xin Wuji’s strength, it would not be possible for him not to keep up for three days. For someone like Xin Wuji, he must be carrying supplement pills for his spiritual Qi.
If there would be a delay strategy, without three or five months, Qin Wushuang would not even consider to drag Xin Wuji to the extreme. However, Xin Wuji had indeed stopped.
“It seems this Xin Wuji is not stupid. He should have guessed that it would not be a secret for me to possess the Observant Finger Jade Plate. Everyone from the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect knew about it. If Xin Wuji had even slightly related to it, perhaps he would have made the assumption. However, Xin Wuji must not know that I have the Spiritual Power Pearl. Even people of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect would not know about that abyss treasure box from Senior Lu Xianlou. Surely Xin Wuji would not know.”
Qin Wushuang thought quickly and considered his gains and losses.
“Perhaps, I should show some weakness to Xin Wuji and make him feel that I am gradually losing my Spiritual Qi?” As Qin Wushuang thought of this, he denied the thought. “It has been only three days, surely Xin Wuji would not believe that I am lacking spiritual Qi.”
…
Xin Wuji was also thinking, “I heard this Qin Wushuang has connected with Lu Xianlou before. Lu Xianlou possessed remarkable abilities and excelled at making different kinds of strange tools. It was rumored that Lu Xianlou had a magical Observant Finger Jade Plate and Luo Tongtian never got his hands on it, even after many efforts. Could it be it has fallen into the hands of Qin Wushuang? It must be! Or else, how could this kid know that I am tracking him and keep the same distance with me all this time?”
When Xin Wuji thought of this, he had suddenly come into a wide clearing.
“Yes, it must be. Since this Qin Wushuang has this good, so he must be able to locate my position. However, for me being at the grand peak of the Common Mysterious Stage and with the supplement pills, would Qin Wushuang compete with me on endurance? Although I cannot chase him in two or three days, I can probably last many months. If I couldn’t catch him after months of chasing, I could probably keep going even. I would not believe that this kid could hold up until then!”
Thinking here, Xin Wuji had another confidence booster. He decided to use his stage, his endurance ability, and supplement pills to drag Qin Wushuang to death.
However, how could he know that Qin Wushuang did not need supplement pills at all. That Spiritual Power Pearl could collect surrounding Spiritual Qi at anytime. It would be an unending and limitless supply!
Carried with such thoughts, Xin Wuji continued to chase after him. With the sun going up and down, unconsciously, another half a month had passed. Counting with his fingers, it was only less than a month away from that Ten-Thousand Year Immortal Pilgrimage Event of the Karakorum Immortal Clan.
Neither Xin Wuji not Qin Wushuang, could escape from the defenses set up at the Ten Thousand Flower Valley. Despite feeling helpless, they could only waste time. Each day, they felt the murderous intentions from that divine beast and experienced its hellish torment.
In the past half a month, the Nine Change Celestial Tiger had murdered at least three thousand martial artists. It was only a step away from the pass of the ninth transformation.
Once it consumed a few more powerful Primordial Spirits, perhaps it could form the breakthrough and enter into the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage!
Because of this fact, the Nine Change Celestial Tiger had become even more brutal and unleashed stronger murderous intentions. This made Qin Wushuang, Xin Wuji, and all the remaining martial artists feel endless pressure.
