Chapter 57 The Right Person, the Hardworking Aruheng
"The Abyss Dark Lotus is a rare treasure from the Abyss Plane. It takes nearly a thousand years of Abyss energy to nurture a single Abyss Immortal. It is truly tempting."
Jiang Xiu silently gazed at the night sky inside and outside the driver's cab, recalling the information about the Abyss Dark Lotus in his mind. All of this was extracted from the memories of the Abyss Ant from last time.
Based on this information, the value of this Abyss Dark Lotus is in no way inferior to the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"We absolutely cannot let go of this abyssal treasure."
Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he secretly made up his mind.
He is currently in the Douluo Continent. With the enhancement of his own abilities, he can plot to obtain the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. However, the shadow he left in the Abyss Plane also needs to be strengthened. Developing both sides simultaneously is his strategy.
Furthermore, if the Ant King obtains this Abyss Dark Lotus, his plan to control the seventy-sixth layer of the Abyss will become even more difficult.
Fortunately, when he left the Abyss Plane last time, he sent out a shadow squad with some intelligence to secretly observe the Abyss Dark Lotus.
At this moment, it is only three days until the Abyss Dark Lotus is fully mature, and the Abyss Dark Lotus is only truly complete when it is fully bloomed. He must do everything he can to snatch food from the jaws of the Emperor Ant.
"Time is tight and the mission is heavy. We need to go back to the Abyss Plane and make some plans in advance."
Jiang Xiu suppressed his surging emotions, took a deep breath, and calmed his mind. The more critical the moment, the less he could afford to lose his composure.
"Xiao Xiu, put Na'er aside, you should rest too."
Seeing Jiang Xiu deep in thought, Leng Yaozhu set the mecha to intelligent driving mode and then spoke softly with a flick of her beautiful eyes.
"It's alright, Aunt Leng, let her sleep. Na'er drank quite a bit tonight, but she's a very good drinker. She falls asleep right after drinking and doesn't make a fuss."
Feeling the warmth coming from his right shoulder, Jiang Xiu reached out and tightened the clothes covering Na'er, and said with a smile.
“That’s great…”
A smile appeared on Leng Yaozhu's cold and beautiful face as she looked at the harmonious Jiang Xiu and Na'er, and murmured to herself.
Perhaps the best couples are those who have been together since childhood.
"Aunt Leng, what did you say? I didn't hear you."
Jiang Xiu had just covered Na'er with her clothes when he saw Leng Yaozhu's red lips moving, and he couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"It's okay... Xiaoxiu, what I want to say is that when you meet the right person at the right time, you must cherish them and not regret it after you lose them."
Leng Yaozhu waved her hand slightly, then said earnestly that she did not want Jiang Xiu to go through the same painful path she had taken.
"Aunt Leng, I have a different perspective. If he is truly the right person, then he will definitely appear in your future. But if he disappears, then he is not the right person for you."
After considering for a moment, Jiang Xiu spoke slowly.
He knew about Leng Yaozhu's past love and hate, but he didn't know if she had truly moved on.
"Not the right person..."
Leng Yaozhu murmured, her red lips slightly parted, a hint of a smile in her beautiful eyes, her long, slender legs crossed, and she chuckled softly.
"Xiao Xiu, you're really precocious for your age. You're even lecturing Aunt Leng now."
"How could I dare? I was just expressing my opinion."
Jiang Xiu coughed lightly and quickly waved his hand.
Just then, perhaps disturbed by the two people's voices, Na'er opened her purple eyes sleepily, smacked her pink lips twice, brushed the silver hair that was pressing against her face, then closed her eyes again, leaned on Jiang Xiu's shoulder, and after nuzzling her head like a little pig, found a comfortable position and fell asleep again.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiu and Leng Yaozhu exchanged a glance and smiled.
……
The next day, as dawn broke through the darkness, the whole world awoke once more.
After bidding farewell to Leng Yaozhu and Na'er, Jiang Xiu returned to the Body Sect alone.
"Senior Brother, hasn't Master returned yet?"
Pushing open the vermilion gate, the first thing that catches the eye is Aruheng practicing his martial arts in the courtyard.
"Junior brother, you're back. Master messaged me last night saying he's off on important business and we shouldn't worry. He'll probably be back in three days."
Upon seeing Jiang Xiu, Aruheng slowly stopped the surging blood and qi within his body, and the golden light on the surface of his skin also receded into his body. The technique he cultivated was the Flawless Golden Body, the strongest technique of the Body Sect.
"That's good."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiu felt relieved. Since his master Mu Ye said he would be back soon, regardless of whether he had obtained the immortal herb or not, it first proved that he was safe.
When he has the strength in the future, he will be able to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to rob the rich and help the poor. His master's safety is the most important thing now.
"Senior Brother, I'm going back to my room to cultivate now. You can have lunch by yourself; there's no need to cook for me."
After closing the door again, Jiang Xiu muttered something to himself and then walked towards his room. He had to hurry to the Abyss Plane.
However, for some reason, after returning this time, he felt that his senior brother's head seemed to have become a bit pointed.
"Okay."
Seeing that Jiang Xiu was about to start cultivating as soon as he returned, Aruheng felt a surge of admiration. With such talent and such hard work in cultivation, he was like a hurricane inspiring him.
"It seems I'll have to get a few more injections of the medicine my master researched."
Aruheng thought to himself.
Before leaving, Makino developed several potions for Aruheng to enhance his qi and blood. These potions were extracted from rare and precious herbs and had virtually no side effects. They could not only stimulate qi and blood but also strengthen his physique.
"By the way, junior brother, Uncle Zhenhua came by once after you left. He said he wanted you to prepare for the Federation-wide competition that the Forging Masters Association will be holding in the East China Sea in the second half of the year, and he hopes you can participate."
"Master Uncle Zhenhua also said that he is going to forge a four-word battle armor for the Qian Gu family and will not be coming again for a while. He told you to take good care of Na'er, Junior Brother, and not let Na'er slack off."
Just as Jiang Xiu was about to enter the room, Aruheng seemed to remember something, slapped his forehead and quickly said.
"Forging competition... Okay, I understand."
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly.
Zhenhua had been teaching him forging techniques for the past four years, sharing all sorts of skills without holding anything back. He could be considered half a master to him, so naturally he had no reason to refuse such a small thing.
After confirming that there was nothing else, Jiang Xiu went into his room, preparing to enter the Abyss Plane.
"Looks like I'll have to get it done again."
Watching Jiang Xiu go off to cultivate, Aruheng took out a small silver syringe from behind her back. Inside was a pale green, transparent liquid, which was the essence of the rare and precious herbs that Muye had carefully extracted.
"One needle and you're full of energy; two needles and your blood and qi surge; three needles..."
Aruheng murmured to himself, then plunged his fist into his own thick arm. As the liquid was injected, the blood and qi in his body were instantly activated and surged throughout his body.
While activating new life force, it also continuously tempered Aruheng's body like a raging fire.
But what Aruheng didn't notice was that the top of his head seemed to have become slightly more pointed...
