Chapter 11

Xiaochè's words about the three items made Xiā Qīngyuè's slightly closed phoenix eyes open wide: "What are you planning to do?"

"Could it be that you really have a way to obtain them?" Seeing that Xiā Qīngyuè did not immediately reject him, Xiāochè immediately asked with hope.

Xiā Qīngyuè frowned slightly and slowly said, "I've never heard of the Seven Profound Lustrous Grass. The Profound Core of the Earth Profound Beast can only be obtained by hunting the Earth Profound Beast, and how many people in the entire Cangfeng Empire can hunt the Earth Profound Beast? Even if the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace has it, it would be as rare as a unicorn. As for the Purple Vein Celestial Crystal, no amount of money can buy it; it is a treasure of heaven and earth that the four major sects would go mad for! Obtaining one is enough to match years of arduous cultivation. These three items, not to mention me, even the Palace Master would almost certainly be unable to obtain them all at the same time."

Xiāochè's chest heaved heavily, then he closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

"What do you need these three items for?" Xiā Qīngyuè asked on her own initiative.

"To repair the Profound Meridians," Xiāochè answered truthfully.

"… I can't help you." Xiā Qīngyuè said, and at the same time, she did not believe that these three items could repair the Profound Meridians. Otherwise, her master would never have been unaware.

Xiāochè shook his head and said indifferently, "These three items are indeed not something ordinary people can obtain. I was just asking casually." After a pause, he said in a slightly lower voice, "Wife, do you think we will meet again after you return to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace?"

"No more calling me wife! My name is Xiā Qīngyuè!" Xiā Qīngyuè could no longer tolerate it, and her voice was at least eight degrees colder.

Xiāochè, however, was completely unconcerned and said leisurely, "I married you, you married me, we have already bowed to heaven and earth, witnessed by a thousand people, and gone through all the necessary procedures. Now I am your husband, and you are my wife. What should I call you if not wife?"

"…" Xiā Qīngyuè was momentarily speechless. After a while, she said indifferently, "Forget it, do as you please."

Xiāochè immediately grinned… This wife who couldn't be touched, but he could still take some verbal advantage!

"You haven't answered my previous question… Will we meet again after you return to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace?" Xiāochè asked again.

"No." Xiā Qīngyuè answered.

"Fine!" Xiāochè nodded, then leaned his head against the wall behind him and closed his eyes, saying, "Actually, you should have returned to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace earlier without worrying about me. With your talent, you shouldn't stay in this small Liuyun City, let alone be held back by me. After you leave, with the halo of being the husband of an Ice Cloud Immortal Palace disciple, at least no one in this Liuyun City would dare to harm me, and I would live more comfortably… Oh, right, you have no objection to me taking concubines, right?"

"… As you wish." Xiā Qīngyuè said expressionlessly.

"Good, that's more like it. Otherwise, if you never see me again in this life and don't let me take concubines, I really planned to divorce you."

Even though Xiā Qīngyuè's heart was as calm as still water, she now had a strong impulse to kick him out.

At this moment, she suddenly saw Xiāochè stand up and walk towards the door, and immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

"Can't sleep, going to look at the stars." Xiāochè answered, while inwardly groaning… This woman, if you squat here all night, I bet you won't be able to sleep!

Xiā Qīngyuè did not say anything more, and Xiāochè pushed open the door and walked outside.

In the middle of the night, all was quiet. Standing in the center of the courtyard, Xiāochè looked at the starry sky. Although his gaze was still resolute, deep down, there was a lingering confusion that he couldn't shake off.

Today was the first day of his rebirth. Although his character had undergone a complete transformation compared to the past, his crippled Profound Meridians made it impossible for him to find a way out of his current situation, no matter how strong his mental state was.

If he could obtain the Seven Profound Lustrous Grass, the Purple Vein Celestial Crystal, and a Profound Core of an Earth Profound Beast, he would have more than a fifty percent chance of repairing his Profound Meridians. But with his current abilities, obtaining any one of these three items was as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

In the end, this world ultimately respected strength. Without sufficient strength, achieving one's goals was just empty talk.

What should I do…

At this moment, a slight tremor came from Xiāochè's left palm. He subconsciously raised his left hand and saw the faint glow of the Heavenly Poison Pearl in his palm flashing at a very fast frequency.

Xiāochè's pupils instantly constricted, and he suddenly turned to look north.

"Could it be…"

In addition to its terrifying toxicity and powerful refining ability, the Heavenly Poison Pearl also had a special ability to sense high-grade poisons or herbs! When high-grade poisons or herbs were within a certain range, it would sense them, flash, and point in the direction of the target… but the prerequisite was that they must be the highest grade materials! From the perspective of the Heavenly Poison Pearl, what it considered high-grade was not the same as what humans considered high-grade. In the Cangyun Continent, he had only seen the Heavenly Poison Pearl flash six times, and each time, he had found a world-renowned treasure!

On the first day of his return to the Tianxuan Continent, the Heavenly Poison Pearl actually showed such a reaction! There must be some world-renowned treasure hidden nearby?

The direction the Heavenly Poison Pearl pointed to was north… the direction of the back mountain of the Xiao Clan.

Although Xiāochè had his own courtyard, it was the most remote and, in a sense, the most dangerous part of the Xiao Clan. Because beyond the courtyard wall was the back mountain. This back mountain was private land of the Xiao Clan, with a few low-grade Profound Beasts wandering around, occasionally causing Profound Beasts to cross the courtyard wall and enter. To infiltrate the Xiao Clan, the back mountain was also a good choice. However, with the power of the Xiao Clan in Liuyun City, no one had ever done this until today.

Without hesitation, Xiāochè climbed over the wall. Although the strength of the First Stage Profound Realm was very weak, climbing a wall less than three meters high was no problem.

The back mountain area was quiet and eerie. The previous Xiāochè would have never dared to come here at night. However, with the bright moon and countless stars, the light was not too dim. Xiāochè looked around, confirmed that no one was there, and then walked quietly in the direction the Heavenly Poison Pearl pointed.

Under the moonlight, the mountains seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist, mysterious and dangerous. Soon, Xiāochè reached the foot of the mountain. It was at this point that the frequency of the Heavenly Poison Pearl's flashing reached its highest. Xiāochè stopped and was puzzled… Could it be here? But this was clearly the foot of the mountain, a place that the alchemists in the Xiao Clan passed through every day. If it grew here, even a slightly better herb would have been discovered long ago, let alone a treasure of heaven and earth. How could it wait for him to pick it?

But the frequency of the Heavenly Poison Pearl's flashing indicated that the target was within ten steps.

Bathed in the bright moonlight, Xiāochè frowned, his gaze slowly moving, carefully searching every inch of the ground.

In general, the more precious the herb, the more likely it was to grow in a dangerous or extreme place. This mountain foot was covered with weeds, and Xiāochè couldn't help but doubt if there was something wrong with the Heavenly Poison Pearl's reaction.

After scanning a small area, he found nothing but weeds. Just as he was about to give up, a faint change caught his eye.

Xiāochè's spiritual senses were extremely sharp. He quickly looked up and focused on the area where the anomaly appeared. It was a patch of weeds, undisturbed because it grew at the edge of a rock. Xiāochè walked over, squatted down, and stared at the patch of weeds. After a while, his gaze locked onto the center of the patch… Grass was very resilient and could grow almost anywhere without interference. However, in the center of this undisturbed patch of weeds, there was a small gap. The gap was tiny, barely enough for two small grasses to grow, but it was particularly out of place here.

A gentle night breeze blew, and the surrounding grasses swayed. At that moment, the "gap" where Xiāochè's gaze was fixed suddenly showed the image of two small grasses… They flashed for an instant and then disappeared.

Xiāochè's eyes widened, filled with joy. He quickly extended his left hand, bringing the Heavenly Poison Pearl close to the gap. Under the faint green light, two "grasses" slowly appeared. They were about two fingers tall, dark green, and looked no different from the surrounding weeds.

"Star Conceal Grass! It's really Star Conceal Grass! And there are two of them!" Xiāochè exclaimed in excitement, reaching out with his left hand. As the Heavenly Poison Pearl flashed, the two Star Conceal Grasses were uprooted and placed in his palm.

The higher the grade of the herb, the more difficult it was to pick. A slight mistake could damage the herb, reducing its effectiveness or even rendering it useless. But with the Heavenly Poison Pearl, he didn't need to worry about such things, as its aura would envelop the target the moment it was picked, preventing any spiritual energy from leaking out.

"This is more of a miracle than a surprise!" Looking at the two Star Conceal Grasses faintly visible in his palm, Xiāochè was so excited that his arms trembled. In the twenty-four years he spent in the Cangyun Continent, he had almost traveled the world and found only one Star Conceal Grass. On the first day of his return to the Tianxuan Continent, he found two! And they were right in his own backyard!

The Star Conceal Grass looked no different from ordinary weeds and was almost impossible to notice. It also had an incredibly strange ability… it could become invisible! This made it even harder to find. However, his master had once told him that although the Star Conceal Grass was a treasure of heaven and earth, very few people knew of its existence, and fewer than five people in the entire continent could identify it. The only one who could fully refine it was the Heavenly Poison Pearl!

"Truly, heaven is helping me. With these two Star Conceal Grasses, I have two foolproof trump cards! After refining the Star Conceal Pill, I can protect myself, deceive others, rob, and kill… I can do whatever I want!" Clutching the Star Conceal Grasses in his hand and sending them to the Heavenly Poison Pearl's space, Xiāochè smiled silently.

The flashing of the Heavenly Poison Pearl also stopped at this moment. With a good mood, Xiāochè had no reason to stay, so he turned to leave. Just as he turned, a flash of cold light caught his eye.

Xiāochè stopped his step, turned to look in the direction of the cold light. In the not too dim moonlight, he suddenly saw a blurry white figure about fifty meters to the north.

What is that?
