Chapter 193: Qingyi's Thoughts

Stone Village, with its curling smoke, was a picture of peace and harmony. The occasional crowing of roosters and barking of dogs, along with the joyful laughter of children, painted a simple and unadorned scene.

In the early morning, the mountain scenery was beautiful. The rising sun cast golden rays, and purple Qi came from the east, dyeing the entire village, inside and out, with a brilliant, dreamlike radiance.

At the head of the village, Lin Fan and Qingyi sat by the clear blue lake. The green grass was like a painting, and the two seemed to merge with the heavens and earth, exuding a profound sense of tranquility and gentleness.

Nearby, various Auspicious Beasts were active: five-colored birds flapped their wings, Dragon Whisker Fish swam in the water, and a herd of unicorns galloped.

“These days are truly wonderful. Far from disputes, setting aside cultivation, and enjoying rare peace!” Lin Fan stretched, feeling incredibly relaxed.

He had slept incredibly soundly these past few days, not needing to be on guard as he did in the outside world. Entering this paradise from the Mortal World, he felt quite comfortable.

Qingyi was the same; her fair face was very relaxed. Tired of the Mortal World’s clamor, coming to this simple mountain village gave her a unique insight.

“Is there really a way to complete the Primordial Spirit?” she asked, her heart unable to calm.

“The Universe is vast and full of wonders. For instance, ancient elixirs from the Emperor Fall Era could revive even an Immortal King with only a remnant soul!”

Qingyi was surprised, her red lips parting, but soon her eyes dimmed.

She didn't even need to think; such ancient elixirs were extremely precious, beyond their reach. They must involve Supreme existences, not to mention the Emperor Fall Era, which she had never even heard of.

“Don’t worry, there’s naturally more than one method. For example, the Black…”

“Black what?” Qingyi asked, confused, her brow radiating a sacred and ethereal glow.

“Forget it, you wouldn’t use this method, and I don’t want you to. It’s too dangerous, but it can be studied for reference. Perhaps…” Lin Fan mumbled, deep in thought.

Qingyi rolled her eyes. This guy gave her hope, but then only spoke half the truth, leaving her heart in turmoil, like a cat scratching.

Especially if her main body knew she had thoughts of defecting and becoming independent, she would probably be furious.

Thinking of this, Qingyi glared at him again. It was all his fault for constantly bewitching and instigating her, making her develop thoughts she shouldn't have.

“No more thinking. Life should be enjoyed in the moment. Even if I die tomorrow, I’ll be happy today first!”

Lin Fan smiled freely, taking her soft, jade-like hand and leaping onto a white unicorn, riding it wildly towards the Great Wilderness.

“Bah, bah, bah… What nonsense are you talking about!”

Qingyi was annoyed. His words always led to misunderstandings, as if they were going to the execution ground together, like a pair of desperate lovers.

At the same time, a group of children were egging them on, yelling, “Oh, Brother Xiao Fan and Fairy Sister are riding a big horse…”

Unicorns possessed the Bloodline of a Heavenly Horse. Although they couldn't soar through the sky, their speed was extremely fast, covering hundreds of miles and crossing several mountains in an instant.

Moreover, Lin Fan released his Venerable aura, and no ancient beast in the jungle dared to attack, allowing them to travel unimpeded through numerous natural landscapes.

At this moment, the two were like a perfect pair, revisiting the depths of the Great Wilderness, temporarily forgetting their troubles and worries, far from the mundane affairs of the Mortal World.

During this period, they traversed this Great Wilderness, entering primeval areas where human traces were absent, discovering some rare Auspicious Beasts and auspicious birds.

“We can make a big stew!” Lin Fan rejoiced. With Qingyi, they basically ate wherever they went, truly a taste of the Great Wilderness.

For half a month, the two continuously delved into the No Man's Land. They even unearthed a ruin and some incomplete bone books related to the Supreme Hall.

“The things the Upper Realm's important figures are looking for are indeed within Stone Country,” Qingyi said, surprised, her figure tall and graceful.

“Not necessarily. This might be a hall that fell from the back of that giant tortoise. It’s always moving and won’t always appear in one place,” Lin Fan said calmly.

He had already obtained the most important Legacy; whether he had the other things or not was no longer particularly important.

On this day, they returned to Stone Village, ready to bid farewell. They had stayed in the desolate region long enough; it was time to leave.

However, to their surprise, Xiao Budian, who was studying outside, was also in Stone Village, standing at the head of the village in a hurry, seemingly waiting specifically for them.

“Little Milk Hao, you’re back from Butian Pavilion so early?”

Lin Fan was surprised. As far as he knew, the destruction of Butian Pavilion should still be several months away. Had something unexpected happened?

“Brother Xiao Fan, help me… Sister Yue Chan said only you might be able to save Butian Pavilion’s Sacrificial Spirit!”

Xiao Budian was urgent. He looked up and saw Qingyi, surprised, “Huh? Sister Yue Chan is here too, so why did you still make me run back for help?”

“I am not Yue Chan, I am Qingyi,” Qingyi said with a faint smile, serene as a bright moon, possessing the beauty that would make fish sink and wild geese fall, and flowers hide their faces.

Xiao Budian scratched his head, muttering, “Does Sister Yue Chan have a twin sister?”

“Never mind that, Brother Xiao Fan, quickly come with me to Butian Pavilion to save the Sacrificial Spirit.”

With that, he pulled Lin Fan, wanting to leave immediately, not lingering at home, as time was pressing.

However, Lin Fan stood rooted to the spot. No matter how hard Shi Hao pulled, he remained motionless, as if his feet had grown roots.

“Wait, Little Milk Hao, I haven’t agreed to save Butian Pavilion’s Sacrificial Spirit.”

“Why?” Xiao Budian asked, puzzled.

“Butian Pavilion is your School; it has nothing to do with me. I have no obligation to save an unrelated School. Besides, I guess… Butian Pavilion probably refused Yue Chan’s proposal to return to Butian Sect, right?”

Xiao Budian hesitated, “But… even if it was founded by a renegade disciple and there was past discord, that was a long time ago. They are very good people, can’t you help them?”

“That’s because you’ve experienced too little and are too young. There are so many living beings in the world, good people and bad people. Am I supposed to save them all? I’d die of exhaustion.

Moreover, where there is life, there is death. The Universe will also have a day of annihilation, and great sects will also be overthrown. Who can exist forever?”

Lin Fan’s gaze was calm and unwavering, as if stating the most ordinary of things.

Xiao Budian was silent. He opened his mouth, then closed it again, unable to refute, because it was a fact, it was the truth.

In fact, there aren’t so many rights and wrongs in the world; it’s more about interests, or rather, not having strength is the original sin.

“Think carefully, then give me your answer!” Lin Fan walked towards the village. Qingyi walked beside him, not saying much either; this was quite normal.

“Clan Chief Grandpa!” Xiao Budian looked at the old man walking over, his face full of tangled emotions.

Shi Yunfeng didn’t say much, only patted his small shoulder. The child was growing up; he had to mature.

Finally, Xiao Budian sat under the Willow God, propping his chin with his hand, and softly called out, “Willow God!”

“Everyone has their own choices. Starting from the heart is excellent,” Willow God said very calmly, its emerald branches shimmering, swaying with the wind.

The next day, Xiao Budian seemed to have understood. He left Stone Village alone, without disturbing anyone, only asking Willow God to see him off.

“Alright, we should go too!” Lin Fan said, their destination also being Butian Pavilion.

“You clearly would help, but you’re just stubborn and soft-hearted, causing Little Milk Hao to leave all alone,” Qingyi chided.

“I just want him to see some things clearly and not be too naive.”
