Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 359 Turning Swords into Plowshares

Chu Yuyao didn't care, because it seemed that bathing in more spiritual spring rain wouldn't make much of a difference to her now.

As for Xinyi, although she wanted to stay here, she also felt that the spiritual spring rain seemed to be most effective only during the first real bath.

If she continued to stay and bathe in more spiritual spring rain, she believed she could still barely advance a small realm, but that would be too much of a waste of time.

So she finally decided to leave with Lu Yang and Chu Yuyao to find more precious martial arts cultivation resources and other treasures in other places.

She nodded and said, "Let's go. I feel that if I want to continue my breakthrough, I'll definitely need a lot more spiritual spring rain, and it will also take more time. I don't think it's worth it. Let's cherish this time and go to other places to find more good things!"

As he spoke, he stood up with Lu Yang and the others and walked down from the platform.

Xuan Jiaolong and the others naturally shared the same understanding and thoughts as Xin Yi. They felt that even though they could still obtain a lot of spiritual spring rain here and improve themselves considerably, it would be quite difficult to truly break through to a higher realm again.

Why not follow Lu Yang and the others to other places to seek more opportunities?

Just as Lu Yang took a few steps, Gu Yuan suddenly spoke up to him from behind: "Brother, my name is Gu Yuan, the senior disciple of the Ancient Beast Sect. May I ask your name? How about we turn enemies into friends in the future?"

Not long ago, Gu Yuan was almost shattered by Lu Yang's palm strike, with a clear palm print deep enough to see his sternum. He felt that Lu Yang had probably held back; otherwise, he would have been killed on the spot, his body shattered into pieces, truly a corpse without a complete body.

Not long ago, while bathing in the spiritual spring rain to heal his injuries, he also realized that he had been used as a pawn by Long Jingyun. However, he also had some faults, namely, that he was too greedy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

At this moment, he was thinking of taking this opportunity to turn enemies into friends with Lu Yang. He saw how terrifying Lu Yang was, and he was definitely a true martial arts prodigy who was even more terrifying than himself.

Such a peerless genius is someone he will never truly catch up to, let alone even come close to. So there's no point in even thinking about revenge.

Since that's the case, why not truly let go of his resentment and turn hostility into friendship? Wouldn't it be more wonderful to have such a terrifying martial arts prodigy as a friend on the path of cultivation than to be enemies with him?

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's voice, Lu Yang stopped in his tracks and looked at him. He was surprised that Gu Yuan had let go of his hatred so quickly and was so sincere and proactive in wanting to become friends with him.

In fact, he had indeed held back not long ago. Otherwise, if he had truly unleashed his extraordinary and terrifying physical strength, not to mention Gu Yuan, a mere ninth-level innate body cultivator, even a true ninth-level grandmaster body cultivator would have been pulverized by his slap and suffered a truly tragic end, with no trace of his body.

He realized that Gu Yuan truly had no more grudges, and he casually said, "I'll befriend Lu Yang, a rogue martial artist!"

After saying that, he led Chu Yuyao, Xin Yi, and the others down the mountain quickly.

Gu Yuan watched Lu Yang's departing figure, clenched his iron fist behind his back, and secretly vowed, "Lu Yang, right? Although I know your martial arts talent is far more terrifying than his, I will still strive to catch up with you and won't let you fall far behind me..."

After Lu Yang and the others descended Lingquan Mountain, he prepared to go to the rendezvous point indicated on a map that Wang Xiaoman had given him when they entered the Phoenix Secret Realm.

His main purpose in entering the Phoenix Secret Realm was to find another Phoenix Spirit Herb that could help Chu Yuyao awaken the hidden Phoenix Bloodline within her. The more spirit herbs there were, the better it would be for Chu Yuyao's awakening.

Having made his decision, he turned to the black dragon following behind him and to Fu Ruyi, saying, "Yu Yao, my aunt, and I are going to search for something special. We'll take our leave now, and meet again someday!"

Although Xuan Jiaolong and Fu Ruyi wanted to continue following Lu Yang and his group in their search for opportunities in the Phoenix Secret Realm, they wisely took their leave now that the other party seemed to have something special to look for.

Several of the closest Chu family members, along with some disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, were also preparing to part ways with Lu Yang and the others to seek their own opportunities.

Lu Yang took out a map, pointed to the meeting point, and said to Chu Yuyao and her aunt, "We're going to this place now to meet up with Wang Xiaoman from the Wang family. She'll lead us to find the Phoenix Spirit Herb we're looking for!"

The two women nodded and then followed Lu Yang toward their seats.

Along the way, whenever they encountered any opportunity, they would naturally stop for a moment and take it all without hesitation.

Halfway there, Chu Yuyao suddenly felt a rumbling sound from her stomach. After all, she hadn't yet cultivated martial arts and was still a normal person. She had been in the secret realm for quite some time and had only eaten a little. Now, after walking such a long distance, she naturally felt very hungry.

Seeing this, Xin Yi reminded Lu Yang, "Xiao Yang, Yu Yao is hungry. Why don't we find a place nearby to rest and eat something before continuing our journey?"

Lu Yang naturally had no problem. He quickly found a flat spot nearby with a stream. He took out the stone spirit fish he had caught not long ago from his storage bracelet, cleaned it in the stream, skewered it, and started grilling it with spiritual fire.

Before entering the Phoenix Secret Realm, Old Master Chu reminded Lu Yang to prepare some things. Naturally, he thought of many things and prepared some tools and seasonings for cooking in advance.

This is just the right time to use it for making grilled fish.

He coated the stone spirit fish with some oil and seasonings for grilling fish. As it was slowly grilled over a spirit fire, it soon emitted an enticing aroma of grilled fish.

Chu Yuyao, whose little belly was getting hungry, kept swallowing her saliva, her eyes fixed on Shi Lingyu without blinking.

Seeing this, Lu Yang smiled faintly and handed the already grilled stone spirit fish to the other person, saying, "Here you go, it's a little hot, eat slowly!"

Chu Yuyao took it and began to carefully taste it. As expected, she quickly exclaimed in surprise, "Delicious! This grilled fish is so delicious!"

"Xiaoyang, what kind of fish is this? I've never seen it before!"

Just then, light footsteps approached from not far away, and a clear, cold voice exclaimed in surprise: "Huh... this... this is actually the legendary Stone Spirit Fish, comparable to a hundred-year-old wild ginseng?"
