Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

"Let's find a place to hide from the rain first."

Jiang Qiong spoke loudly, the rain hitting his face made his voice a little muffled.

The three of them looked around hurriedly and found a cave not far away. The entrance of the cave was blocked by some vines and was barely visible.

They immediately ran towards the cave. After running in the rain for a while, the three finally arrived in front of the cave.

They pushed aside the vines and entered the cave. The cave was quite spacious, although a little dark and damp, but fortunately it could temporarily shelter them from the sudden rainstorm.

Jiang Qiong and Lang Nana shook off the rain on their bodies, while Nan Fengxue took out some dry clothes from the storage bag and distributed them to everyone.

"This rain came so suddenly."

Lang Nana said as she changed her clothes.

Jiang Qiong walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the heavy rain outside, and said, "This kind of weather is very common in the mountains, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

The three of them sat down in the cave, listening quietly to the sound of rain hitting the ground and the forest outside.

For a moment, the only sounds in the cave were rain and the occasional dripping of water, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

After a while, Lang Nana broke the silence: "I wonder how those children are doing in the Immortal Gate."

Nan Fengxue smiled and said, "They all have spiritual roots and good aptitude. They will definitely receive good instruction in the Immortal Sect. They have a promising future."

Jiang Qiong also nodded: "I hope they can practice well and not let this opportunity go to waste."

Just as they were talking, a strange sound suddenly came from the depths of the cave, like the growl of some wild beast.

The three of them immediately became alert, stood up and took out their weapons.

"Be careful, we don't know what's inside." Jiang Qiong said in a low voice.

The three of them walked cautiously towards the depths of the cave. As they got closer, the strange sound became clearer and clearer.

When they walked to a corner of the cave, they saw a wounded beast in the faint light coming in from outside the cave.

This beast is huge, covered with black hair, and looks a bit like a wolf, but it is several times larger than an ordinary wolf.

There was a deep wound on one of its hind legs, and blood kept flowing out, staining the surrounding ground red.

At this moment, it was lying on the ground, with pain and vigilance revealed in its eyes.

Seeing Jiang Qiong and the other two, the beast struggled to stand up, but fell heavily to the ground again because of the pain in his wounds.

It let out a low roar, as if warning them not to come near.

Lang Nana looked at the injured beast and felt a little sorry: "It seems to be seriously injured. Should we help it?"

Jiang Qiong hesitated for a moment: "This beast looks very ferocious. We don't know its habits. What if..."

Nan Fengxue took a step forward and said, "Looking at its appearance, it won't attack us. And it's injured. If we just watch it die, it would go against our original intention as practitioners."

Jiang Qiong thought about it and felt that what Nan Fengxue said made sense, so she nodded.

The three of them slowly approached the beast. Although the beast's eyes were full of vigilance, it did not make any attacking moves.

Jiang Qiong took out some healing herbs from the storage bag, walked carefully to the beast, squatted down, and began to treat its wounds. The beast resisted at first, but when it felt that Jiang Qiong had no ill intentions, it gradually calmed down.

Under Jiang Qiong's treatment, the beast's wound stopped bleeding, and Jiang Qiong bandaged it with herbs.

After doing all this, Jiang Qiong stood up, looked at the beast and said, "Okay, take good care of your injuries."

The beast seemed to understand Jiang Qiong's words. It raised its head and looked at Jiang Qiong and the other two. The vigilance in its eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of gratitude.

It let out a soft cry, then slowly stood up and walked towards the depths of the cave.

Jiang Qiong and the other two felt a little emotional as they watched the beast leave. They returned to the cave entrance and found that the rain had gradually stopped, the dark clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate, and the sun shone down again.

"The rain has stopped, and it's time for us to set off," Jiang Qiong said. The three of them walked out of the cave, took a deep breath of the fresh air after the rain, and then continued on their journey home.

After this encounter with the beast, their mood became calmer and more determined.

They know that on the path of cultivation, they will encounter all kinds of people and things, and all they have to do is to maintain a kind and brave heart to face all challenges.

As they walked farther and farther away, the fairy mountain and the cave gradually disappeared from their sight, but this experience was deeply imprinted in their hearts and became a precious memory on their path of cultivation.

The three of them stepped out of the cave and took a deep breath of the fresh air after the rain. The refreshing coolness instantly dispelled their fatigue, and then they continued on their journey home.

This wonderful encounter with the wild beast made them more calm and resolute.

They know very well that the long road of cultivation will be full of thorns and will encounter all kinds of people and things, but as long as they maintain a kind and courageous heart, they can face all challenges fearlessly.

As they walked further and further away, the fairy mountain shrouded in clouds and mist and the cave hidden in the forest gradually disappeared at the end of their sight.

However, this experience is like a shining star, deeply imprinted in their hearts, becoming an invaluable memory on their journey of cultivation.

But not long after they walked out of the cave, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.

When the three men heard the sound, they turned around and saw the injured beast they had rescued rushing towards them with two larger beasts of the same kind.

Judging from the appearance of these two big beasts, they must be its parents.

Their fur is as black as ink, shiny and smooth, gleaming with a cold luster in the dim light, and their eyes reveal an innate majesty.

The injured beast happily ran to Jiang Qiong, rubbed his legs affectionately, then turned and walked towards the cave. After walking a few steps, it looked back at Jiang Qiong, and its eyes seemed to be earnestly calling him to follow.

"This beast seems to want us to follow it." Lang Nana said with surprise in her eyes. Jiang Qiong was also full of curiosity. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "In this case, we might as well follow it and see, maybe we will find something unexpected."

So the three followed the three beasts back to the cave. The beasts led them straight to the depths of the cave with ease.

They stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary stone wall.

The big beast in the lead stretched out its claws and pressed lightly on the stone wall. In an instant, the stone wall vibrated slowly, and a hidden passage suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The passage was filled with a faint light, like a time tunnel leading to a mysterious place.

The three wild beasts were the first to step into the passage. Jiang Qiong and the other two looked at each other, with curiosity and a bit of vigilance in their eyes, and then followed in.

After walking along the passage for a while, the view suddenly opened up and a magical and magnificent underground world was revealed to them without reservation.

This underground world is extremely vast. Above the head, huge stalactites hang upside down like sharp swords, while some are as round as clouds. Under the illumination of a strange plant that emits soft light, they sparkle with a dreamy luster.

On the ground, clear streams meander along, and the water ripples in the light, sparkling.

There are all kinds of strange plants growing by the stream, some of which have leaves like transparent crystals, reflecting colorful light in the interweaving of light and shadow;
Some are blooming with huge flowers, and the rich fragrance of the flowers permeates the entire space, making people feel refreshed, as if all the worries are gently brushed away by the wisps of fragrance.

In this mysterious underground world, many houses are distributed in an orderly manner.

Most of these houses are built with a special material that is similar to stone but has toughness. The shapes of the houses are strange and varied. Some are round, as if they are mysterious giant eggs bred by the earth.
Some are square, solemn and steady; others are shaped like mushrooms, full of childishness and fantasy.

The walls of the house are engraved with various mysterious patterns, which seem to be a silent history book, quietly recording the long history and legendary stories of this underground world.

Among these houses, many short natives were busy moving around.

These natives are about half the height of a normal person, and their skin is dark brown with a slight glow, as if it had been kissed by the sunshine of time for a long time.

Their hair is black and thick, sticking tightly to their scalps, exuding a rustic atmosphere.

Their eyes are big and round, and there is a simple and curious light flashing in their black eyes, as if they are full of endless desire to explore the world.

The clothes of the natives are very simple and rustic. Most men wear shorts carefully woven with tough plant fibers. Their upper bodies are bare, and their strong muscles are clearly defined, showing their strength and vitality.

Women wear clothes similar to short skirts with a thin piece of cloth draped over their upper body, which flutters gently in the wind, making them look smart and elegant.

They all wear some accessories made of bones and stones, some are necklaces with unique shapes, some are delicate bracelets. These accessories are also engraved with various mysterious symbols, as if carrying their beliefs and culture.

Seeing Jiang Qiong and the other two coming, the natives stopped what they were doing and gathered around them curiously.

There was no malice in their eyes, only curiosity and surprise, as if they were looking at mysterious visitors from another world.

A relatively sturdy native, who seemed to be their leader, walked forward steadily. He wore a necklace made of huge animal teeth around his neck, and each tusk exuded a cold breath, as if telling of his heroic deeds in the past.

In his hand he held a wooden stick with a gem inlaid on the top. The gem was shining with mysterious light and seemed to contain endless power.

He spoke something enthusiastically in a language that Jiang Qiong and the other two could not understand, and at the same time he made various vivid gestures, trying to convey a friendly message to them.

Although Jiang Qiong and the other two could not understand the native language, they could truly feel the leader's kindness from his expression and actions.

Jiang Qiong also smiled and nodded to him, responding to him with simple gestures.

At this time, a lively and cute little native came jumping out from the crowd, holding something that looked like fruit in his hand, and generously handed it to Jiang Qiong and the other two.

The shapes of these fruits are very strange, some are triangular, some are oval, and the colors are bright and eye-catching, just like carefully crafted works of art.

Lang Nana took a fruit and looked at it carefully. She found that the skin of the fruit had a thin layer of fuzz. She pinched it gently and a sweet smell instantly spread and went straight into her nose.

She took a tentative bite, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly: "This fruit is so delicious, you guys should try it!"

Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue also took the fruit and tasted it. Sure enough, the flesh was tender and juicy, melted in the mouth, and tasted extremely sweet. There was also a unique fragrance spreading in the mouth, which was endlessly memorable.

The three of them expressed their gratitude to the little native. The little native smiled happily, revealing two cute fangs. That innocent smile seemed to be able to dispel all the haze in the world.

Afterwards, the indigenous chief warmly invited Jiang Qiong and the other two to visit their home.

The three followed the leader into a larger round house. Although the interior of the house was simply furnished, it was very clean and tidy.

There was a thick layer of hay on the ground, and on the hay were some tables and chairs made of stone and wood. Although simple, they also exuded a natural charm.

In the center of the house, there is a fire pit with a blazing fire burning in it. The jumping flames seem to be dancing happily.

There was a rack above the fire pit, on which some unknown meat was roasting. The aroma filled the air, whetting people's appetite.

The leader motioned to Jiang Qiong and the other two to sit down, then picked up a piece of roasted meat from the fire and handed it to Jiang Qiong.

Jiang Qiong took the meat and found that the color of this meat was darker than ordinary meat and the texture was firmer.

He took a bite, and the aroma of meat instantly spread in his mouth. The meat was tender and tasted very delicious. The unique flavor made him unable to help but praise it.

During their communication with the indigenous people, Jiang Qiong and the other two gradually learned about their lives and customs through gestures and simple drawings.

These natives make their livings by hunting and gathering. They know this underground world like the back of their hands and are good at finding all kinds of edible plants and prey in this mysterious land.

They have their own unique beliefs and worship some mysterious powers in this underground world, believing that these powers can protect them from harm and bring them peace and prosperity.

They also hold various grand ceremonies. For example, on a full-moon night, they will gather in an open place, dance and sing around a bonfire to thank nature for its generous gifts.

Their dance moves are simple yet powerful, and every beat seems to be stepping on the pulse of the earth;

The song is melodious and simple, full of love for life and longing for the future. The pure emotion seems to be able to penetrate time and space and touch people's hearts. (End of this chapter)
