Fairy, help me cultivate.

Jiang Bailian smiled sweetly at him: "Let's go find it."

The monkeys were by a small stone pool.

Hearing the two footsteps, it merely glanced back before turning away to continue doing its own thing.

"It doesn't seem like it's playing with us."

Chen Yao examined the white ape and found that it was enormous and looked to be at least several hundred years old.

Jiang Bailian took out a pill from her mithril ring and floated it in her fair palm.

"Senior Ape, I've come to see you. Here's your favorite Green Tea Pill..."

The white ape didn't even turn its head, only letting out a low moan, its voice mournful.

Jiang Bailian's expression changed, and she said in a sorrowful voice, "You...you've already sensed it?"

The white ape let out a whimper and, like a sulking child, threw a large rock into the pool.

The pool water rippled with waves, and fish flew erratically through the air before crashing heavily back into the water.

Jiang Bailian lowered her head, and the sorrow that had just faded because of Chen Yao's comfort returned to her brows.

Chen Yao sighed and could only hug her from behind.

The two people and the ape stood quietly under the shade of the pine trees.

After a long while, Jiang Bailian finally spoke: "Second Uncle is no longer here, Senior Ape... come back to the mountain with me!"

The white ape's back stiffened, and it crouched down, shifting its position a few times, as if to express its disagreement.

Jiang Bailian frowned: "I'm afraid I won't be coming here much in the future. Without your second uncle's care, you'll have a hard time."

She stepped forward and came to the edge of the small pond.

Chen Yao followed, and only then did he discover that the white ape was making a nest by the pool, and quite a few fish had already entered the nest.

Jiang Bailian's expression became even more sorrowful.

"So you've been waiting all this time for your second uncle to grill fish with you..."

"Waaah—"

The white ape glanced at her, its clear eyes filled with expectation and sorrow.

It seems to be asking, "Is he really not coming?"

It was like a child waiting for a loved one who would never return. Chen Yao felt a pang in her heart as she watched its movements and expressions.

The white ape was, after all, a spirit beast that had lived for hundreds of years, and its mind was not truly like that of a child. Seeing the two remain silent, it naturally understood that its expectations were in vain.

It dejectedly threw down the stones it had used to dig a hole, sat down, and let out a long sigh.

Jiang Bailian squatted down beside it and gently smoothed its messy long fur.

After a long while, the white ape cried out and pointed to the opposite bank of the small pool.

Jiang Bailian frowned: "What's there?"

The white ape cried out again, seemingly gesturing for them to go and take a look.

Jiang Bailian glanced back at Chen Yao, who helped her up, and the two drifted towards the opposite bank.

As soon as Jiang Bailian landed under the pine tree, he sensed something.

Her eyes lit up: "I can smell my second uncle here."

Although Chen Yao was not yet at the Golden Core stage and was not very sensitive to auras, his divine sense was stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level, so he naturally sensed the difference here.

Jiang Bailian took out a gray pill from her mithril ring and flew into the air.

The elixir quickly emitted wisps of gray smoke, revealing trails of smoke.

Jiang Bailian sensed these traces and asked in surprise, "Was this deliberately left behind by my second uncle?"

She looked back at the old ape on the opposite bank, who waved his hand and continued digging his nest.

Jiang Bailian took Chen Yao's hand, and the two followed the trail into the depths of the pine forest.

The trail meandered and circled, covering almost half of the pine forest.

Finally, the two stopped under two large pine trees with a girth of over 100 feet.

The pine tree has gnarled and twisted branches, its branches and trunks resembling flying scales, and its needles as hard as iron.

Chen Yao's eyes lit up: "These two pine trees are truly magnificent."

Jiang Bailian nodded.

The gray pill was now completely used up.

She took out another yellowish-brown pill and flew through the air towards the space between the two pine trees.

The air between the two pine trees rippled like water the moment it came into contact with the elixir.

The pill dissolved quickly, tinging the air with a light yellow hue.

The varying shades of yellow gradually shifted and eventually formed a transparent doorway.

Chen Yao glanced at Jiang Bailian: "Another teleportation array?"

Jiang Bailian pondered for a moment: "Since Second Uncle had Old Ape inform us, there must be no danger. Perhaps he has something he wants to leave for me."

Chen Yao thought about it and felt it made sense: "How about I stay here?"

He felt that since this was left by Jiang Wuyin for Jiang Bailian, it might not be appropriate for him to go in.

Jiang Bailian shook her head: "You and I are one now, what is there to hide?"

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on Chen Yao's hand and stepped into the transparent doorway together.

Behind the doorway was still a pine forest.

However, the spiritual energy in this pine forest is noticeably richer.

The forest floor was covered with blooming red flowers of various colors.

Jiang Bailian couldn't help but shed tears: "This is... the elixir garden that my second uncle cultivated for me..."

Chen Yao looked around and noticed that a faint blue light occasionally shone from deep within the pine forest.

What's there?

Jiang Bailian then noticed, wiped away her tears, and walked over with Chen Yao.

As soon as the two entered the area of ​​the eerie blue light, a strong wind arose throughout the pine forest.

The wind carried a surge of malice.

Jiang Bailian was taken aback, not expecting there to be danger here.

With his sword in hand, Chen Yao held Jiang Bailian protectively in his arms.

Seeing that Chen Yao, even though her cultivation level was lower than hers, still subconsciously protected her, Jiang Bailian felt a surge of sweetness in her heart.

"Junior brother, let me do it."

She summoned a pill with her delicate hand and crushed it.

Golden cinnabar rolled out, freezing the fierce wind and instantly dissipating the malice.

"I have now reached the Golden Core stage, so Junior Brother, you must not underestimate Bai Lian."

She raised her chin slightly, with a hint of arrogance.

Chen Yao was taken aback when she heard her say that.

Jiang Bailian was dazed, which made him subconsciously feel that she was very weak, but after all, she was a genius in alchemy and had advanced to the Golden Core stage.

He gave an awkward smile and said, "I'm used to it."

Jiang Bailian glanced at him gently, then tiptoed and kissed his cheek: "However, junior brother, I'm very happy that you take such good care of me!"

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something: "Junior brother, how did you kill Jiang Guanglai back then?"

Chen Yao subconsciously thought that Jiang Bailian was weaker than him, but Jiang Bailian, who had been saved by Chen Yao many times, also subconsciously thought so.

Only now has she thought of this question.

Chen Yao looked at the immortal sword in his hand: "It took advantage of the opponent's unexpected attack."

Jiang Bailian glanced at the immortal sword and suddenly realized, "Jiang Guanglai was distracted at that time to subdue me, so he was indeed unable to defend with his full strength."

She smiled charmingly: "Moreover, my junior brother has always been extraordinary, so it is only natural that he was able to kill Jiang Guanglai."

As they spoke, the two approached the blue light source.

Floating in mid-air, within the blue light source, are two volumes of scriptures.

Chapter 113 The Source of Immortality

The Scripture of Cave Origin Refining Life and Preserving Life

The Mysterious Elixir of Destiny

The two names were prominently displayed on the covers of the two scriptures.

Chen Yao glanced at Jiang Bailian and noticed an excited expression on her face.

"So this is where it is. It was real after all!"

Jiang Bailian felt the rich immortal energy emanating from the two scriptures, and her outstretched hand trembled slightly.

"what is this?"

Even without understanding, Chen Yao could tell from the celestial aura emanating from the scriptures that they were no ordinary items.

Jiang Bailian gently stroked the seal of the scripture, causing the scripture to tremble slightly.

"Initially, there were no people living in Jiujiang. In fact, the entire South China Sea was the domain of alien races and monsters."

Her fingertips traced the names of the two scriptures as she spoke eloquently.

"Later, a great sage appeared and exterminated most of the alien races and demons that occupied the South China Sea, thus opening up a unique and blessed land for humankind to cultivate. However, a blessed land for cultivation alone is not enough, so the great sage left behind ten books of scriptures to nurture all things and teach immortal techniques, which is why the South China Sea Immortal Realm has the thriving atmosphere it has today. It can be said that these ten books of scriptures are the source of the South China Sea Immortal Realm."

As Chen Yao listened to Jiang Bailian's explanation, he looked at the two volumes of scriptures and asked, "So, these are two of the ten volumes of scriptures?"
