73 Chapter 73 Senior Brother Gao Yi (1/2)
”So senior sister is also here!”
Closing his eyes and taking in a deep breath, Zong Shou tried his best to calm down his roaring blood. When he opened them up once more, the state of his heart had recovered. ”I heard that there is a Meridian Spirit Grass here that is helpful for my Dual Meridian Body, so I am here to look for it. Why did senior sister come to Blood Valley? Even if you want to train, there are also many other spots, why choose such a dangerous place?”
He was surprised. In his memory, when Linhai College disciples reached the Spirit Cultivation Realm, they would need to travel out, going out to places where spiritual veins gathered until they reached the Out of Body Realm, before they could return.
The current Gong Xinran had obviously not achieved that realm of cultivation.
Speaking of which, his ideal senior sister did have some talents. Nineteen years old and already at the Spirit Cultivation stage. Such an achievement was something that many spirit masters could only envy. In Linhai College, it was enough for the many masters to put a lot of attention on her.
”You also know this is a dangerous place!” Gong Xinran scoffed, shaking her head bitterly. ”How am I doing this for training? Do you think senior sister is like you? No matter how crazy I am, I wouldn't easily come here, and also wouldn't choose this place to nourish the soul and train the heart. Wouldn't it be better to walk around Donglin Cloud Continent casually?
”Do you remember what senior sister said to you last time? Our Gong Family had a Day Wandering Realm expert in the past. Three thousand years ago he once stood tall in the Donglin Cloud Continent, but who knows for what reason he fell in this Blood Valley, weakening our Family greatly. This time I came over here to find the things that my ancestor left behind. Once I achieve the Out of Body stage, I will be unable to enter anymore…”
Zong Shou was busy flipping through all his memories, and quickly found the relevant portion of memories.
No wonder this woman was so well liked by Zong Shou. Her words had no other intentions behind them and she was really honest when she treated people. Even the remains of an Ascended level expert she didn't bother to hide. Her concern towards Zong Shou was also very sincere.
Gong Xinran didn't feel anything funny, turning around. ”I have the bloodline of my ancestor and I am able to sense the location of the corpse. Coincidentally, your Senior Brother Gao Yi, the Young Master of the Dragon Spirit City Gao Family, could find some helpers, so we decided to come in and try. Naturally it is great if we can find it, but if we can't then it would be ending one of my hopes, such that I won't have any regrets in the future.” She smiled as she pointed behind him at the other spirit master in the group. He was tall and handsome, dressed in a traditional Chinese robe and giving off a really noble aura. He bowed his head at them as one who had good family upbringing would, only his expression was really cold.
Zong Shou immediately felt a slight stab in his heart, feeling really bitter. For some reason, he didn't like this Senior Brother Gao Yi.
He remembered this person. Two years ago when they were still at the college, he was really close to Gong Xinran, like they were a couple, and today they were still walking together.
Deep in his heart he was feeling really bitter, but that wasn't his true feelings. The consciousness of Zong Shou had already disappeared, but his influence on his mind was still really strong.
This was the reason why people who stole the bodies of others didn't want to merge with the soul of the original body. Apart from ensuring the purity of the soul, they didn't want to be affected by the consciousness of the original soul.
However, his situation was a little different. Before he came back to ten thousand years in the past, apart from his consciousness and state of heart still existing, his god intent, martial arts intent, and comprehension had all disappeared. When that Zong Shou chose to merge their consciousness, he didn't have any chance to reject him.
”This is your family's maid? She is so cute! To be able to tame a Grade Three Dark Chill Tiger as a Protector Spirit Beast, she has to be a Spirit Cultivation Realm spirit master too, right? As expected from the Prince of Gantian Mountain... however, the two of you are too rash! These last ten thousand years, who knows how many martial and spirit cultivators have died here. One girl who just reached the Spirit Cultivation Realm and the other who can't cultivate, you two still dare to enter? Will the Meridian Spirit Grass really help Junior Brother?”
Hong Xinran looked towards Chuxue with praise, following which she scolded Zong Shou without mercy, rolling her eyes and pulling him towards the group of martial cultivators.
As they got close she smiled towards Gao Yi, ”Senior Brother Yi, do you remember Junior Brother Zong Shou? What a coincidence to actually meet an old friend in Blood Valley. He wants to collect Meridian Spirit Grass inside, has Senior Brother heard about it?”
