Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 446: Waiting 1

"Fellow daoist Zhen..." Sima Ling called and everyone turned to look t him.

"My Sima family has prepared this to thank you for giving us the formations inheritance." The man said and pushed a storage ring across the table.

Seeing the ring, Zhen Yuan nodded and took it.

The ring had ten billion spirit stones, one litre of high-grade soul water, formations materials, monster parts, spirit grasses, and other things.

"Fellow daoist Zhen..." Sima Ling started with a complicated expression.

He knew that the things his family had prepared were inferior to the inheritance.

However, they had done their best to find useful things for Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu.

"They are enough." Zhen Yuan said.

Although the compensation was not large, Zhen Yuan didn’t care because he had never intended to make spirit stones from the exchange.

After dealing with the business, the seven talked, ate, and drank wine until three hours later when the Sima siblings left the portable cave.

"High-grade soul water, not bad." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

They found a soul river in the forbidden zone of the Tianqi continent. Unfortunately, the water was low grade and not very useful to the two.

That said, they had collected soul stones and combined with soul fishes, soul nourishing fruits and soul nourishing dew, the two were certain they could successfully become level nine soul refiners.

"Adding this high-grade soul water to our current resources will ensure we can become peak-stage, level nine, soul refiners." Shen Xu said.

"It will be good if we can advance all our cultivation to the peak of level nine before we ascend." Zhen Yuan said and the double nodded before speaking.

"It’s not impossible." He said and quickly continued.

"Cultivating in the cursed valley will advance our body cultivation to the peak-stage of level nine or half a step into level ten."

"After that, we will retreat to advance our soul and qi cultivation. We already have enough resources to advance both to the Peak of level nine."

"I know." Zhen Yuan said and narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression.

"Whats on your mind?" Shen Xu asked.

"I am thinking we can use five thousand years to advance all three aspects of our cultivation and upgrade our arts."

"Five thousand years..., isn’t that too much?" The double asked.

After all, five thousand real years was one hundred and fifty thousand space years.

"Not at all." Zhen Yuan said and began explaining.

"One thousand years will be spent improving our body cultivation outside the space. After that, we will retreat in the space to improve our arts and cultivation."

"Logically, this retreat shouldn’t last more than one hundred thousand years but we have special circumstances."

"What do you mean?" Shen Xu asked, not understanding what special circumstances could lead to such a protracted retreat.

"Chaos water, immortal marrow, soul nourishing fruits, and the rootless colourful water lily. Each of these treasures is a heaven-defying opportunity and absorbing them will take a lot of time." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.

"You are right. It’s about time to fully utilise these opportunities."He said and tilted his head.

"In the book, Xiao Weimin used the chaos water to upgrade his golden core to a nine-colour golden core, consequently improving his talent."

"However, I have the chaos fire physique and the chaos fire spiritual root. Can my talent still be improved? What about you? What’s the effect of chaos water on you?" He asked but Zhen Yuan shook his head.

"I don’t know but I feel it’s useful to me." He said.

"It doesn’t matter. We will know when we refine it." Shen Xu said and quickly continued. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Using the next five thousand years to enhance ourselves, cultivate, and study is the right call. This accumulation will lead to enlightenment when we go to the temple of chants." He said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"My thoughts exactly." He said.

"Grasping a star of immortality will be much easier if we are enlightened before entering the Xuanwu secret realm."

After that, the two entered the space and lived a relaxed life while waiting for the tournament.

On this day, Shen Xu was cooking soul fish soup when his eyes suddenly widened.

"Mo Ling is out of seclusion." He said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"His cultivation was already on the verge of breaking through when he went into seclusion. It’s normal that he didn’t take long." He said.

"Let’s go see him." The double said.

Mo Ling was originally in the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm.

During his retreat, he refined a treasure that he had previously prepared and also took an ascension pill that he bought from Shen Xu.

As a result, his cultivation soared from the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm to the peak stage.

"Congratulations." Shen Xu said when he saw the person.

"Thank you." Mo Ling said but subconsciously frowned.

"I have advanced but my cultivation isn’t stable." He muttered.

"Ayuan and I are planning to go to the cursed valley. Why don’t you come with us?" Shen Xu invited and Mo Ling raised an eyebrow.

"Is it okay if I come along? Won’t I cause you trouble?" He asked.

"The cursed valley is an immortal level portable space." Zhen Yuan started and quickly continued.

"No one can track you there." He said.

"Ayuan is right. Even if someone sees you, they won’t be able to contact the outside world to reveal your location." Shen Xu added.

The cursed valley was an open secret realm.

It didn’t belong to anybody and could accommodate countless people of different cultivation levels.

However, it had many peculiarities.

First, cultivators turned to mortals when they entered the cursed valley - they couldn’t use qi, body, or soul cultivation inside the cursed valley.

Because of this, the valley was not only recognised as the best body cultivation holy ground in the Tianxuan continent, but also one of the ten most dangerous places on the continent.

Second, people could enter as they wished but could not leave freely.
