A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

"This pill is of top quality for us earth-attribute cultivators! If I could really get my hands on a Houtu Xuanyu Pill, I would definitely be able to reach the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm within three months!" A short, stout cultivator said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

The group exchanged glances and then circulated their spiritual energy to investigate, discovering that they were all cultivating earth-attribute Dao foundations.

Hongwu stroked his thick beard, a smug smile playing on his lips: "This Houtu Xuanyu Pill is definitely a treasure to us. On that island, besides the Spirit-Devouring Insects, there's also a bewitching restriction array. To break that array, we need seven cultivators skilled in earth-attribute techniques working together. So, the ones I've found are all fellow cultivators of the earth attribute."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

Yao Qiantie frowned, his tone tinged with doubt: "Boss Hong, you said it would take seven cultivators to break that illusionary restriction array, but we only have six left. What should we do?"

Hongwu waved his hand confidently and said, "Don't worry! All six of us are at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even if we lose Fatty Jin, it won't be a big problem. We'll naturally find a way to break through."

Yu Xinlian, standing beside him, covered her mouth and chuckled, her gaze falling on Chen Yang. She said softly, "Yes, there's no need to worry about that. Although this rookie young man is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he can still be used as a cultivator. In any case, that illusionary restriction array won't be able to stop us."

At this moment, the oldest cultivator beside him, with white hair and beard, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Brother Hong, you said that there is a heaven-defying pill like the Houtu Xuanyu Pill on that immortal island. Did you discover this island?"

Hongwu shook his head and explained, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, this is definitely not a trap! I got the information about this immortal island from someone of high status. He is the most favored true disciple of the Tianhai Sect. He deduced the location of the immortal island based on the sect's top-secret intelligence. To be precise, he discovered it first, but I just happened to overhear the news."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xinlian quickly pressed on, "Since there are treasures on this immortal island, why didn't that true disciple of Tianhai Sect go and take them himself?"

Hongwu laughed heartily, a sly glint in his eyes: "Of course he wants to go! But it just so happens that he's in seclusion for the next two months, so we're taking advantage of that time difference! Once we've obtained the treasures on the island, I'll leave Tianhai City immediately. Even if he finds out then, he can only be filled with impotent rage, hahaha!"

The others also burst into laughter, their last trace of doubt completely dispelled, and they immediately began packing their things, ready to depart at any moment.

Hongwu led the group out quietly through the back door of the Laoshan Inn, and then the group left Tianhai City in an inconspicuous carriage.

Once outside the city, the group immediately took to the air and sped off towards the vast sea.

Hongwu turned to look at Chen Yang, who was lagging behind, a calculating glint in his eyes. He then winked at the bald Yao Qiantie and said, "Old Yao, that newbie probably can't fly on a sword yet. Go and take him with you."

Yao Qiantie naturally understood Hongwu's meaning. He chuckled, revealing a set of yellow teeth: "Alright! I'm always happy to help others! Newbie, I'll take you flying!"

Chen Yang frowned, waved his hand, and said calmly, "No need, I have a magical treasure that allows me to fly."

After saying that, Chen Yang waved his hand, and a streak of light flashed, and the Myriad Blades Wind Shadow Sword instantly appeared under his feet.

He lightly stepped onto the Myriad Blades of Wind and Shadow, and with a "whoosh," his figure shot straight into the sky like an arrow, steadily keeping up with the speed of the others.

This scene left Hongwu, Yao Qiantie, and the others dumbfounded, staring incredulously at the flying sword beneath Chen Yang's feet.

They were all at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. Although they were all independent cultivators without a major sect like the Heavenly Sea Sect to back them up, and their perspectives were somewhat narrow, they had still seen a bit of the world. They could tell at a glance that the Myriad Blade Wind Shadow Sword was definitely not an ordinary spiritual treasure!

Although they couldn't accurately determine whether the Myriad Blades Wind Shadow Sword was a spiritual treasure or a secret treasure, they were certain that it was at least a Heaven-rank spiritual treasure!

Upon seeing the exquisitely crafted Ten Thousand Blades Wind Shadow Sword, a glint of greed flashed in their eyes, and their breathing quickened involuntarily.

At this moment, Yu Xinlian, who was originally smiling at Chen Yang, couldn't help but frown slightly when she saw him use the flying sword. Then, a flash of light appeared under her feet, and she took off into the air, flying directly to Chen Yang's side.

Yu Xinlian giggled, her voice sweet and charming, and said to Chen Yang, "Handsome young man, that sword under your feet looks really nice. Did your master give it to you?"

Chen Yang shook his head and said truthfully, "I got it by luck."

Hearing this, Yu Xinlian was speechless. She sighed softly and looked at Chen Yang, saying, "Hey handsome, how have you managed to live this long? Don't you know the saying 'possessing a treasure invites trouble'? Your strength is so weak, yet you're showing off such a high-quality treasure. The worst part is you don't have any backing. Are you afraid others won't have designs on you?"

Chen Yang just grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and said foolishly, "Don't worry, sister, there aren't that many bad people."

Yu Xinlian couldn't help but rub her forehead, speechless.

She leaned closer, lowered her voice, and said in a serious tone, "I really don't know if you're pretending to be stupid or if you really don't understand. But I have to tell you, if those people might have spared your life before, now that you've taken out this treasure, they probably won't spare you! Now, even if you want to leave, you can't! From now on, stick close to me and don't leave my side for even a moment, otherwise, even I can't save your life."

Hearing this, Chen Yang turned his head and glanced at Yu Xinlian beside him. This woman was jokingly called the number one beautiful boss in Tianhai City by the people around her. Unexpectedly, not only was she stunningly beautiful, but she was also so kind-hearted.

She had previously helped him out of a predicament at the Laoshan Inn.

Now he's proactively reminding himself of this.

Could it be that my obvious good looks have made this beautiful young woman fall in love at first sight?

Chen Yang couldn't help but turn his head and slap Yu Xinlian in the face. This woman looked to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, the most beautiful and mature age. She was wearing a simple dress with the simplest tailoring, but it perfectly accentuated her slender figure.

She's pretty, not stunningly beautiful, but very attractive. Most importantly, whenever she smiles, her eyes crinkle, as if her smile can melt a man's heart.

She was down-to-earth; on the contrary, her every move exuded a charming, gentle smile that made men feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.

This woman is either a super high-class "green tea" type, falling in love with every woman she meets.

She's either a truly kind-hearted and stunningly beautiful woman.

Chen Yang smiled at Yu Xinlian, accepted her kindness, moved closer to the beauty, and flew away with her into the distance.
