Chapter 477 Mu Qing's soul power went berserk because another person lived in her soul.
Boo!
Just as Si Yao was about to turn around, she suddenly heard a clear and melodious crane cry from the sky.
Everyone looked up.
A snow-white crane descended from the clouds, its wingspan exceeding ten feet.
Amidst the cry of the crane, the spiritual energy above the spiritual field suddenly stagnated!
Ripples appeared in the jade basins held by more than a hundred disciples.
The tender shoots of the Soul-Nourishing Grass all turned towards the crane's shadow, bowing slightly as if on a pilgrimage.
The plants along the cobblestone path swayed gently.
The crane lightly touched the edge of the field with its feet, and in the instant it landed, it transformed into human form.
He wore a blue cloud-patterned robe, his silver hair was tied with a jade hairpin, his beard and hair were all white, but his face looked like that of a middle-aged man.
This person is none other than Chen Xuan, the Supreme Sect Master of Lingshan Academy.
Si Yao immediately bowed slightly.
"Si Yao greets the Sect Master. May the Sect Master enjoy boundless blessings."
Before the words were even finished, more than a hundred disciples knelt down, clutching the jade basin.
"Disciple greets Sect Master! May Sect Master enjoy boundless blessings!"
Chen Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over everyone with an imposing aura, but lingered briefly on Si Yao.
He smiled.
"All cultivators, please rise."
"Go back and take good care of the Soul-Nourishing Grass. It needs to be buried three inches deep in the soil, and its soul power needs to be like a silkworm spinning silk."
He paused, then looked around at the spirit field, his brows furrowing slightly:
"Where is Shuangyue? Was she not here to offer guidance?"
One of the disciples replied in a trembling voice:
"The sect leader just left this place to pick Star Dew Grass."
Si Yao remained calm and said softly:
"The sect leader has specially ordered Si Yao to guide the disciples in planting the Soul-Nourishing Grass!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan stroked his long beard, nodded slightly, and a wisp of breeze blew from his sleeve, signaling the disciples to step back.
Wait until the crowds disperse!
Chen Xuan walked up to Si Yao and lightly touched the jade basin in her arms with his fingertip.
The soil in the pot is as smooth and moist as cream, and a drop of dew clings to the tip of a tender bud.
"This is the Soul-Nourishing Grass?"
His voice held a hint of amusement.
Si Yao lowered her eyes and responded:
"These are newly cultivated seedlings."
Chen Xuan suddenly lifted the jade basin, his blue robe's wide sleeves cascading down:
"Miss Siyao, please lead the way. I have important business with Shuangyue."
A faint light emanated from his palm, and the jade basin floated in mid-air, causing the tender leaves of the Soul-Nourishing Grass to unfurl.
Si Yao's heart stirred slightly!
This technique is clearly the "Spirit-Entrusting Technique" from the *Soul-Nourishing Heart Sutra*.
The secret technique that Frostmoon mentioned yesterday.
She turned away silently, with amethyst fruits hanging from ancient vines on both sides.
While traversing the mountain pass!
Si Yao noticed stardust on the corner of Chen Xuan's robe, the lingering spiritual essence of the crane in its transformed form.
She recalled the strange visions she had experienced while alone in the Hall of Nurturing Souls last night:
Moonlight condensed into silver threads that seeped into the Soul-Nourishing Seed, while Frosty Moon stood under the corridor but did not appear.
At this moment, Chen Xuan was carrying the jade basin and walking slowly alongside.
"Does the sect leader know..."
Si Yao suddenly asked.
"Does the Soul-Nourishing Grass recognize its master as if it knew the heart of the person?"
Chen Xuan laughed heartily, his voice echoing through the treetops:
"Hahaha……"
"Therefore, Frost Moon has chosen you to lead the team, for only those with a calm mind can resonate with the spirit of grass."
After a while.
The two had already arrived at the Drunken Forest.
Ancient maple trees are scattered throughout the forest.
Among the sacred herbs.
The star dew grass shimmered with a silvery glow.
Frosty Moon was bending down to pick the grass, her white dress covered in grass clippings, her bamboo basket filled with star dew grass.
This herb only condenses dew at dawn; refining it into Clear Heart Dew can calm a violent surge of soul power.
Jinxi carried a basket and accompanied him.
Meanwhile, the Radiant Beast, covered in black scales, was gently nudging Frostmoon's skirt with its nose.
Lingyao suddenly saw Chenxuan, and came running over, whimpering and wagging its tail.
Shuangyue saw Siyao standing beside Chenxuan, while Chenxuan held a jade basin with a beaming smile on his face.
Immediately, Shuangyue hurriedly held the bamboo basket in her arms, took a few steps forward, and bowed slightly.
"Shuangyue greets the Sect Master."
Si Yao saw this.
She quickly stood beside Shuangyue and bowed slightly to Chenxuan.
Chen Xuan waved his hand to stop the greeting.
"How are the disciples' planting going?"
"They all practiced diligently."
Shuangyue's voice was cold and clear, but she did not mention Jinxi's unruly nature.
"Only Mu Qing of the Heavenly Evolution Sect..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Xi quickly interjected:
"Mu Qing's soul power is too strong; the Soul Nourishing Seed will shatter as soon as it enters the soil!"
Half a charred blade of grass slipped from his sleeve, a testament to his failure.
"Hahaha……"
Chen Xuan laughed loudly, his voice so powerful that the spiritual herbs all swayed in unison.
"It's already a miracle that Mu Qing even came!"
"If she destroys ten more pots of spiritual soil, I will personally teach her 'soul power restraint'."
Lingyao picked up the bamboo basket and gently brushed it against Shuangyue's palm.
Chen Xuan strolled to a wisteria tree.
Si Yao stood quietly opposite.
There were only two people under the wisteria tree.
Chen Xuan smiled and handed the jade basin back.
Tiny silver lines appeared on the tender buds in the pot, which were the marks of the moonlight.
"Frosty Moon chose you because you understand the language of grass."
His eyes were sharp.
"But do you have a solution to Mu Qing's predicament?"
Si Yao lowered her head and stared at the jade basin. The tender leaves of the Soul-Nourishing Grass shimmered with silver light and pointed to a scorched earth deep in the forest.
That's where Mu Qing made a mistake yesterday.
Si Yao shook her head helplessly and suggested:
"Since she has no interest in learning, why force her to stay here!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was not angry; instead, his expression remained calm.
"Grass fears restlessness, but respects devotion."
"Mu Qing's soul power went berserk because another person resides in her soul."
Chen Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his blue robe fluttered in the wind.
"Remember this: the Soul-Nourishing Grass must be watered with moonlight and tears, not just dew, but also tears of true love."
Clang clang!
On the mountain road in the distance.
Mu Qing transformed into a five-colored phoenix, spewing raging flames that instantly burned the spiritual herbs.
The frosty moon saw a five-colored phoenix engulfed in flames, the spiritual herbs spreading across the scorched earth, and the white robes suddenly fluttering like snow.
She lightly touched the air with her toes, creating nine ice lotuses, and her clear shout shattered the clouds:
"Frost freezes the soul, eternal ice seals the land!"
As he clasped his hands together, countless ice crystals burst forth from his fingertips, transforming into a thousand-foot-long river of icy ice that cascaded down.
The flames instantly froze into glass upon touching the glacier, freezing the phoenix's wings in mid-air.
All that could be seen were colorful feathers covered in frost, and even the last wisp of flame turned into translucent ice crystals and fell down.
In the Drunken Forest, a bone-chilling cold suddenly descended, and the thousand-year-old maple leaves were draped in silver armor. Even the Spirit Radiance Beast whimpered and huddled at Jinxi's feet.
Chen Xuan flicked out three golden talismans from the wide sleeves of his blue robe.
His voice, as loud as a bell, resounded throughout the mountains and fields:
"Mystic light protects the body, the soul returns to the righteous path!"
The golden talisman spiraled into a Tai Chi formation, drawing the frozen phoenix into the light curtain.
The ice crystals in the light curtain slowly melted, turning into gentle water vapor that nourished the scorched earth.
Si Yao and Jin Xi stood at the edge of the forest, holding their breath and gazing intently.
Jin Xi gripped the bamboo basket tightly, feeling the sweet scent of the Soul-Nourishing Grass wafting in the steam.
High in the sky, the colorful phoenix transformed into a human form and fell, blood spilling from its lips as it lay paralyzed on the scorched earth.
Just as visibility was blurring, a rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky!
In the center of the Rainbow Bridge, Chu Feng, dressed in pristine white, was leading a woman in a blue dress as they walked slowly.
The woman turned around and smiled, her eyes and brows mirroring Mu Qing's reflection in a mirror.
When Chu Feng called out "Qingqing" softly, his voice seemed to come from across a thousand-year-old icy pool.
Mu Qing's heart trembled violently:
How did I see him?
No, I never...
She bit her tongue hard, the taste of blood mingling with tears welling up in her throat.
The word "Chu Feng" stuck between his teeth, turning into a silent sob.
"Mu Qing!"
Chen Xuan's figure had already darted to her side, his hand firmly supporting her back.
The hem of the blue robe swept across the scorched earth, unexpectedly spurring forth tiny green shoots.
What can you see?
His gaze was like a deep well, reflecting Mu Qing's unfocused pupils.
Mu Qing pointed tremblingly into the void:
"I...I saw a rainbow..."
"In the rainbow... there is another me..."
The words have not yet been spoken!
A metallic, sweet taste surged in my throat!
Blood dripped down his chin onto the stardew grass.
The stardew grass sprouts grew wildly and wrapped around her wrist.
Chen Xuan suddenly raised his head.
Where the sea of clouds surges, only the vast blue sky remains.
"Without a single cloud, how can there be a rainbow?"
As the Frosty Moon finished its spell and landed, the Ice Lotus shattered into stardust and disappeared into the earth.
She bent down and picked up the half-burnt grass leaf that Mu Qing had left behind; the veins of the leaf were actually seeping out moonlight silver patterns.
Ouch!
Lingyao suddenly stood up upright!
Blacktail swept aside the wisteria, revealing the ten acres of spiritual fields that Mu Qing had accidentally burned down.
Deep within the scorched earth!
The remaining roots of the Star Dew Grass were sprouting new buds at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the tender leaves automatically pointed towards Mu Qing's heart without any wind.
"Grass fears restlessness, but respects devotion."
Chen Xuan's fingertip condensed a drop of dew on Mu Qing's brow, and that drop of dew reflected a fleeting rainbow-like illusion.
"What resides in your soul is the obsession from your past life."
He turned to the frost-moon, his blue robe billowing up as he transformed scorched earth into sacred soil.
“Take three coins’ worth of star dew grass, mix it with her tears today to revive her.”
Si Yao silently presented the jade basin, and the silver-patterned tender buds in the basin suddenly all bent towards Mu Qing.
"what!"
Jin Xi exclaimed in surprise!
Stardew grass seedlings sprout from the cracks in the scorched earth!
Each leaf tip is adorned with a dewdrop, in which the iridescent image of a phoenix is reflected.
Mu Qing nestled in Chen Xuan's arms, vaguely hearing Chu Feng say, "Waiting for your soul to return."
She closed her eyes, clutching the hem of her clothes, her nails digging into her palms, yet she laughed out loud:
"Ha ha……"
The words drifted into the wind, and all the spiritual herbs in the Drunken Evening Forest bowed down at the same time.
Chen Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light!
Groan!
From the depths of the sea of clouds, the faint roar of a dragon could be heard, while on the tip of a new sprout in the scorched earth, a drop of dew mixed with blood and tears appeared.
