NCCnovel Chapter 276 Cyber Elder
Chapter 276 Cyber Elder
Bai Yaoyao and the other two returned to the inn room and were about to tell Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao about what had just happened with Manager Canglan.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, the core of the tree of life in her hand turned into a stream of light and automatically drilled into her mouth.
Before Bai Yaoyao could react, a stream of clear water had already flowed down her throat and reached her dantian, followed by a huge amount of spiritual power exploding directly in her body.
"Ah!" Bai Yaoyao screamed in pain. She felt her whole body swelling and the meridians in her body seemed to be broken by the huge spiritual power transformed from the core of the tree of life.
A blessing came to Bai Yaoyao's mind, and the mantra of Xuanyuan Qiling Jue suddenly appeared in her mind.
Bai Yaoyao felt the difference instantly when she started practicing the Xuan Yuan Qi Ling Jue again, which she had never been able to get into before.
It was a very mysterious state, as if the veil of the entire world had been torn off, revealing its original appearance before her eyes.
It is so colorful and dizzying that people can't help but indulge in it.
"Yaoyao!"
Hearing Bai Yaoyao's cry of pain, Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao also exclaimed at the same time, walked up to her, and supported her on the left and right.
At this time, most of Bai Yaoyao's mind had already sunk into that mysterious state of cultivation. She only had time to wave to the two of them to show that she was fine. Then she could no longer hold on. She sat down cross-legged on the ground, calmed down and quietly felt the surging in her body. She slowly guided the Xuanyuan Qiling Jue to operate, and began her first process of connecting with the spiritual energy of this world.
"This..." Xiao Xiaoxiao was overjoyed when he saw the spiritual energy surging around Bai Yaoyao, "Yaoyao can also practice?"
"It should be!" Chen Yingjie nodded, looking at Bai Yaoyao who had already entered a state of meditation, and couldn't help but frowning with some worry.
If he saw it correctly, the thing in Bai Yaoyao's hand should be the thing that the innkeeper entrusted them to bring back.
But why? Why did the shopkeeper Canglan do this?
"Brother Chen, do we have to wait for Yaoyao to wake up before we can go back?" Xiao Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.
"Yes! Now that we have obtained the Phantom Crystal and the Mermaid's Tears, we should go back. Our family is still waiting for us."
I don’t know what the current situation in China is, and whether the poisonous star worm virus has spread further.
According to Miss Bai, the time difference between the two worlds has been adjusted. They have been here for 10 days, but only one and a half days should have passed on Blue Star.
It shouldn't be too late for them to take back the materials for preparing the Qingling antidote now.
Seeing Chen Yingjie remaining silent, Xiao Xiaoxiao licked her dry lips nervously.
"Brother Chen, we are about to go back. I think..." Xiao Xiaoxiao was interrupted by the buzzing sound of the jade token in his arms before he could finish his words.
Ever since she and Chen Yingjie officially embarked on the path of cultivation and were able to absorb spiritual energy into their bodies, they have been able to use this jade token.
The buzzing sound at this time is exactly the communication function of the jade token.
Xiao Xiaoxiao took out the jade token, and after injecting spiritual power into it, a line of small words suddenly appeared before his eyes.
"Please, Master Xiao, come to the lobby of the inn."
The signature is Canglan.
Chen Yingjie also saw this line of small words and became alert instantly, "What does Canglan want from you?"
The one who has always dealt with Canglan is Bai Yaoyao, and Xiao Xiaoxiao has almost never spoken to Canglan.
Why did he suddenly send a message to her and ask her to go to the lobby?
Seeing that Xiao Xiaoxiao herself didn't know what was going on, Chen Yingjie glanced at Bai Yaoyao who was already in a trance, and then said to Xiao Xiaoxiao, "I'll go with you to take a look."
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Chen!"
The two of them moved and appeared in the lobby of the inn.
As soon as he saw the scene in the lobby clearly, Chen Yingjie narrowed his eyes slightly, protected Xiao Xiaoxiao behind him, and looked around vigilantly.
The lobby was now filled with fully armed mermaid guards, and the shopkeeper Canglan was talking to a thin-faced old mermaid.
The old mermaid was wrapped tightly in a scarlet robe, even the fish tail underneath was completely hidden. He held a walking stick that looked like a dead tree, and on the top of the walking stick was inlaid a fist-sized pearl that sparkled with a bright light.
The old man had a haggard face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. As soon as Chen Yingjie and the other man appeared in the lobby, his hawk-like sharp gaze shot over to them.
Canglan also discovered the two people.
Seeing that Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao were on high alert, he stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over.
"Don't be nervous, the two immortals. This is the Cyber Elder of my mermaid tribe. He has a few questions for Immortal Xiao!"
Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at each other, then quietly changed positions, revealing half of Xiao Xiaoxiao's body.
"If you have any questions, please ask."
Cyber's cold eyes swept across Chen Yingjie and then fixed on Xiao Xiaoxiao.
"Master Xiao! May I ask if you ever left the Jubao Pavilion during tonight's auction?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao nodded, "I went out with my senior sister to get some fresh air in the square outside the Jubao Pavilion."
"Then when did Immortal Xiao return to the Treasure Pavilion? As far as I know, during the intermission, the Immortal who went out with you for a breath of fresh air should have returned to the Treasure Pavilion early."
Cyber's tone was very calm, but Xiao Xiaoxiao somehow heard a chill in it.
She recalled, "When I went back, Fatty Lan was introducing the spiritual soil. Yes! That was when the spiritual soil was being auctioned."
"The intermission of the auction had been over for a long time. May I ask what Master Xiao was doing during that time?"
As soon as Cyber's question came up, the air in the whole room seemed to stagnate.
Feeling everyone's eyes on her, Xiao Xiaoxiao twisted her body somewhat unnaturally.
"I...I was taking a walk in the square..."
"you are lying!"
Saibo shouted, "You're not even in the square outside the gate!"
"What...what?" Xiao Xiaoxiao was frightened by Cyber's sharp voice and trembled all over.
"I...I'm just outside! I turned around twice and then went back!"
"Hmph!" Cyber snorted coldly, "Master Xiao! Have you forgotten that there are always guards waiting at the entrance of Jubao Pavilion? Someone saw you leave the square!"
A guard next to him suddenly stepped forward and said, "I saw this immortal hurriedly leave the square after her fellow disciples returned to the pavilion. It was a long time before she came back."
Chen Yingjie looked him up and down. He remembered the guard's face. He had a mole on the lower right side of his lip, which was very special. He was the one who guarded the gate of Jubao Pavilion at night and let people in.
"We have questioned all those who left the venue, and you are the most suspicious!" Cyber said in a cold tone, "Do you still want to quibble now?"
The atmosphere was very tense, and Canglan quickly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere, "To be honest, what was lost in the Treasure Pavilion this time was not a treasure, but the disappearance of our tribe's saint."
