Chapter 744: How to repay the master’s kindness?

Xie Huan formed seals with his hands, and the brilliance of the treasure flower world suddenly surged, transforming into a golden cloud that covered the entire mountain range.

He shouted in a low voice: "Get up!"

"Rumble--"

The ground began to tremble violently, and dazzling sparks burst out from the connection between the dark ember crystal vein and the rock layer. Twenty-one Thousand Thorns Eclipse Shadows exerted their strength at the same time, and the black abyss energy condensed into countless chains that wrapped around the mountain, strangling it deep into the rock layer like a giant python.

"Crack!" With a loud bang that shook the earth, the bottom of the vein was torn off.

The moment countless dark golden crystal clusters broke away from the rock formation, they spontaneously condensed into liquid energy flows, pouring back into the treasure flower world like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.

"receive!"

The power of the world suddenly reversed, and the mountains were compressed into a dark golden torrent, all flying into the precious flowers and disappearing.

"It's enough food for the children to last for hundreds of years."

Xie Huan raised the corner of his lips slightly and tapped his fingertips lightly. The Nine-Headed Thousand-Thored Shadow was once again entangled by the black chains, dragging the bone fragments and continuing to travel through the Infinite Layer.

After an unknown amount of time, his injuries were almost healed.

One day, he felt something in his heart, and a brilliant golden light suddenly emerged around his body, flowing like liquid, interweaving into golden branches in his palms, and finally blooming into a sparkling precious flower.

"It has been a year since the battle with Feitong..."

Xie Huan slowly opened his eyes and stared at the precious flower in front of him. His mind moved slightly, and a projection appeared on the Tianqiong Peak of the precious flower world.

In front of them was a sea of ​​blood-red flowers. Fei Tong was sitting quietly in it, her body surrounded by blood mist, and she was regulating her breathing in meditation.

"How's the injury?"

Xie Huan asked softly.

Feitong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. Xie Huan's figure was reflected in her scarlet pupils, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips: "Thanks to the master, I'm fine now."

Although she said this, Xie Huan was very clear about her condition. Her life was just a matter of life and death. If she wanted to fully recover, she would probably have to practice intensively for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Without saying a word, Xie Huan's precious flower blossomed in his palm, and golden light poured down like running water, covering his red eyes.

"Well……"

Fei Tong snorted lightly, and a faint golden glow suddenly appeared in the blood mist surrounding her body. The hidden injuries that had been raging in her body melted away like ice and snow, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

She was slightly startled, and hurriedly checked herself, and found that the flow of spiritual power was no longer sluggish, and was even smoother than before she was injured.

"This……"

A trace of unbelievable surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she knelt solemnly on the ground, her voice trembling: "Thank you for your kindness, Master. Feitong... I don't know how to repay you."

Xie Huan's eyes fell on her. She had a slender figure, with dark black hair falling on her shoulders. The ends of her hair were stained with tiny crystal beads condensed from blood mist, sparkling in the dim light.

Feitong lowered her head, revealing a section of her white neck, which looked fragile yet stubborn, like a flower swaying in the wind and rain but refusing to bend.

"Get up."

He held out his hand for support, his voice calm but unquestionable.

"Since you acknowledge me as your master, your life naturally belongs to me. Since it is my own, I will protect it well."

Fei Tong trembled slightly when she heard this, but she did not stand up immediately. She still lowered her head, her long eyelashes casting shadows on her eyelids, and it was unclear what was in her eyes.

She could feel Xie Huan's gaze on her, which made her heart feel strangely hot and she clenched her fingers nervously.

The air seemed to stagnate for a moment.

Xie Huan smelled a faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, coming from Fei Tong, like a cold plum blossom in the snow. The verse "Ode to the Joy of the Union of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth" flashed through his mind again, and his Adam's apple moved unconsciously.

At this delicate moment——

"Hmm?" The entity outside seemed to sense something, and the desire in Xie Huan's eyes receded like a tide. He tapped his brows with his fingertips to completely suppress the heat.

"With your current strength, you won't be afraid if that blood river creature comes again."

Xie Huan looked into the void, thoughtfully, "But I am more curious, can it land here directly?"

Fei Tong noticed the change in Xie Huan's mood, and a sense of complexity arose in her heart for no reason.

She still lowered her head, her black hair covering half of her face. "Fei Tong has the blood contract still in place, so it should be able to sense me. But in this world, the master is the most respected. That thing must be afraid of the master's pressure, so it doesn't dare to act rashly."

"That's fine too."

Xie Huan nodded slightly: "You can meditate here and I will summon you anytime."

Fei Tong's body trembled slightly. What does the word "summon" mean? She didn't dare to think deeply, and only replied in a low voice: "Yes... Master."

Xie Huan's figure turned into golden light and dissipated.

Fei Tong then dared to look up and looked in the direction where Xie Huan disappeared. The emotions in her eyes surged like a sea of ​​clouds, and a touch of rouge color quietly smudged on the tip of her ears.

……

Xie Huan's mind returned to his body, his eyes shone with blue and silver light, and he looked at the endless darkness ahead. Around a twisted vortex, a large amount of dense matter appeared, floating like stardust, with strange energy fluctuations inside.

As soon as he thought about it, a thousand-thorned shadow came tearing through space, and its sharp claws reached into the edge of the vortex, grabbing a certain amount of matter and sending it to Xie Huan.

Xie Huan reached out to take it, and lightly pressed it with his fingertips——

The moment the matter was ground into powder, a barely perceptible wisp of immortal energy dissipated.

His pupils suddenly contracted: "Immortal Jade?"

The blue-silver light swept across again, and those seemingly ordinary gravels actually contained a very faint fairy power.

Although the concentration is so thin that it is almost non-existent, the existence of any immortal power seems out of place in the depths of this black abyss.

"Search! There must be a fairy jade vein nearby!"

Xie Huan's eyes were burning, and as he thought about it, twenty-one Thousand Thorn Shadows were summoned again and then dispersed in all directions.

Within a few days, they searched the vast black abyss and snatched more fairy jade ore fragments in the cracks of the distorted space, but they were still unable to find the source.

Until one day, one of the Thousand Thorns Eclipse Shadows sent a strong signal, and Xie Huan immediately turned into a beam of light and rushed to where it was.

I saw a crack across the void in front of me, floating quietly.

Unlike ordinary space cracks, it is not as violent and disordered, but like a "mirror" distorted by rules.

Countless prismatic spots of light are pieced together in a disorderly manner, refracting the afterimages of layers of mineral veins, like a projection of another world.

A large amount of fairy jade ore debris is slowly floating out from inside.

"right here!"

Xie Huan's eyes flashed with blue-silver light. He pointed his fingertips and a thorny shadow moved sideways. He stretched out a hand to touch the mirror.

Suddenly, ripples like water waves spread out.

Xie Huan’s figure flashed, and he entered with twenty-one Thousand Thorn Shadows.

In an instant, the scene before my eyes suddenly unfolded——

A vast expanse of ruins of fairy jade mines stretches across the void, as silent as the skeleton of an ancient behemoth.

The mountainous ore body has long been exhausted, and its surface is covered with honeycomb-like holes.

The moment he descended, the rules around him suddenly distorted, and the nearest ore body could not withstand the energy fluctuations emitted by him and Thousand Thorns Shadow, and collapsed with a loud bang!
Countless fragments splashed like stardust, forming a pale mist in the void, reflecting a dim fairy light.
