There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 126: Exploring the Water Mansion, Everlasting Prosperity.

Facing the honeydew melon Xia Ming handed over again.

Han Dong'er still chose to refuse.

Because.

What she wants is not this.

Quietly watching the Mu River in front of her, Xia Ming knew that the time for a decision had come.

Beauty?

Beauty is the great demon of the heart!

Beauty is the gentle town on the path to immortality, the bone-melting pool!

Haven't you heard that a beautiful woman's body is as soft as tofu, and she carries a sword around her waist to slay ordinary men?

Women?

Women only affect the speed at which I make a move!

With a great battle approaching, Xia Ming didn't want any additional worries.

In a battle against He Niansheng, how could he afford to look back? Don't want to live anymore?

Originally, Xia Ming's plan was to first go to the Bamboo Sword Sect to see what the treasure of "The Record of the Yunfu Mountain Man" was. If he could take the opportunity to further strengthen his strength, that would be even better. Then, he would leave Han Dong'er behind and go straight to He Niansheng.

Accomplish everything in one battle! Resolve all worries in one battle!

As for Han Dong'er...

It's better to make things clear at this time than to be entangled.

Thinking of this, Xia Ming no longer hesitated.

"Dong'er, let me ask you, what does it mean to like someone?"

Facing Xia Ming's scrutinizing gaze, Han Dong'er couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

But soon, she straightened her chest and looked at Xia Ming.

"Master, liking someone means spending the rest of your life with them, and then... dual cultivation... and maybe having children, a boy and a girl. I like daughters, maybe Master would like boys. Master can teach the children alchemy... and then we can grow old together..."

As she spoke, Han Dong'er's tone gradually became gentle, as if she had already seen that warm scene.

Just as Han Dong'er was slowly raising her head, she saw Xia Ming's incredibly calm eyes.

"Dong'er... I only wish to become an immortal."

Hearing Xia Ming's words, Han Dong'er's body trembled.

"But... Master... this doesn't conflict..."

Slowly standing up, Xia Ming walked step by step to Han Dong'er's side.

Each word was spoken with a chilling tone, as cold as ice hanging high.

"Dong'er, you are blocking my path to immortality."

Incredibly, she raised her head and looked at Xia Ming's increasingly profound eyes, Han Dong'er's throat surged.

"Master... you..."

Before Han Dong'er could finish her sentence, Xia Ming sat back down by the bonfire.

Gently stirring the flames, Xia Ming calmly said:

"Dong'er, how much do you really understand me? Your liking is nothing more than the imagination of a young girl in love."

"How long can a momentary impulse last? Dong'er, a lifetime is very long..."

"What makes you think you won't change your mind?"

"Master... I..."

Han Dong'er was about to speak, but she saw Xia Ming directly cut off a piece of snake meat and swallowed it in big bites.

Blood dripped from the corners of his mouth, and upon seeing this scene, Handong'er's words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them bit by bit.

Watching Xia Ming tear into the flesh and blood, Handong'er's heart ached like a knife twisting.

On the body of the black-robed master, Handong'er felt a cold indifference that kept people at a distance of a thousand miles.

In the midst of her heartache, Handong'er couldn't help but ponder Xia Ming's words.

After thinking for a long time, her heart ached even more.

Handong'er realized that she didn't know much about her master.

What exactly had the master experienced...

The master's eyes... the master's past...

Why did the master end up like this...

Master, I know, I know a lifetime is very long, very long.

But I am willing to spend my whole life slowly getting to know you.

Master, why don't you believe in me?

...

On the way to the Bamboo Sword's old site, Xia Ming continuously improved his combat skills.

In the midst of battling with the savage beasts, Xia Ming was growing rapidly, and now he could already contend with Core Formation savage beasts.

Of course, there were also moments of danger.

In the dense forest by the river, Xia Ming once fought a bloody battle with a mixed-blood dragon for several hours.

With the Bluetooth Sword Formation, the Purple Thunder Sword, and the addition of the Thunder God's Divine Eye... Xia Ming used all his means and finally killed it.

The price was high, but the rewards were abundant. Along this journey, Xia Ming had already honed himself into a sharp sword.

Within Xia Ming's body, there was also the power of half a dragon, a tiger, and three bears.

This time, the sword's edge was aimed straight ahead, and blood would surely be shed!

The Bamboo Sword's old site was now the forward base of the Tianhe Sect.

Here, Xia Ming lay in wait, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

...

Bai Cang River, Lion Beach.

Xia Ming drifted on the river, fishing with a hook.

The surrounding mountains and water reflected in his eyes, and Xia Ming was extremely certain that this was the burial site of the treasure.

However, what surprised Xia Ming was that there were no traces of an underwater palace beneath the water's surface.

After searching the underwater without success, Xia Ming finally thought of Yunfu Mountain's words.

[Remember, those who are destined must not force it.]

Could it be that the key to the treasure was not in the underwater palace, but in the Ink Spirit Giant Carp?

Thinking of this, Xia Ming simply drifted on the river, waiting for the fish to bite.

This Ink Spirit Giant Carp was different from ordinary fish; it liked to eat magnificent and dazzling things.

Who could have imagined that under this peaceful water bay, there would be such a strange fish.

A golden hook adorned with jade, with strings of precious pearls.

While Xia Ming was fishing, Handong'er quietly brewed tea beside him.

Handong'er had been silent recently, and as she calmed down, she became more and more certain that she truly liked Xia Ming.

The determined young girl looked at Xia Ming in front of her and secretly made up her mind.

Master, I will prove it to you with my actions!

...

Taking the tea cup handed over by Han Dong'er in the cold winter, Xia Ming casually said, "Dong'er, you should return to the sect tomorrow on the Lingzhou boat. I still have some matters to attend to here."

Upon hearing Xia Ming's words, Han Dong'er stood frozen in place.

Quietly, two more tear streaks appeared on Han Dong'er's face.

Looking at Xia Ming's cold profile, a strong sense of uncontrollable sadness surged in Han Dong'er's heart.

Han Dong'er knew that if she were to return to the sect, she would never see Xia Ming again in her lifetime.

This was intuition.

A woman's intuition.

Grabbing onto Xia Ming's sleeve, Han Dong'er's tearful eyes pleaded, "Master... Dong'er won't speak out of turn... Please don't send Dong'er away... Please..."

"Dong'er... Dong'er... I know I was wrong..."

Just as Xia Ming turned his head to look at Han Dong'er, the fish took the bait.

In an instant, the small boat rocked violently. Xia Ming tightly held onto the fishing rod in his hand while supporting Han Dong'er with his other hand.

"Go! Wait for me on the shore, don't inform anyone. The heavens, the earth, and you and I are the only ones who know about this matter."

Looking into Xia Ming's focused gaze, Han Dong'er nodded vigorously.

After Han Dong'er left, Xia Ming focused all his energy on fishing.

This Ink Spirit Giant Carp was incredibly powerful. Xia Ming exerted all his strength, but still couldn't lift it out of the water.

Instead, the Ink Spirit Giant Carp stirred up the river, causing Xia Ming to be tossed up and down.

In the midst of his shock, Xia Ming slowly narrowed his eyes.

Goodness!

The bigger the storm, the greater the opportunity!

This Water Mansion's secret location is definitely not simple!

Just as Xia Ming tightened the fishing line with all his strength, something unexpected happened.

There was a loud snap.

The fishing line made of beast tendon broke.

The tremendous force rebounded, and the small flat boat was instantly shattered.

Stepping on the Purple Thunder Flying Sword, Xia Ming immediately contacted A Tun, urging him to generate qi and blood for the Immortal Seed.

Within the range of the magnetic field induction, the Immortal Seed's transformed thoughts directly invaded the body of the Ink Spirit Giant Carp.

Xia Ming wanted to use the Immortal Seed to lock onto the location of this Ink Spirit Giant Carp.

Without any hesitation, Xia Ming plunged into the vast Bai Cang River.

Today, he wanted to see just what secrets this Ink Spirit Giant Carp held!

...

Feeling the terrifying speed of the cultivator behind him, the Ink Spirit Giant Carp instinctively swam towards what it believed to be the safest place.

Under Lion Rock, the water caves were interconnected, and the hidden currents surged.

Without any warning, Xia Ming lost the signal of the Ink Spirit Giant Carp.

At the end of a water passage, Xia Ming's Southern Compass Divine Eye shone brightly.

"Could it be an illusion?"

Even the Thunder God Divine Eye couldn't see through the strangeness of this place, yet the fish disappeared.

After careful consideration, Xia Ming threw out an iron sword.

And then, in front of him, the iron sword was gone.

Hmm?

Something's not right!

As he approached the large stone in the waterway, Xia Ming reached out and slowly probed inside.

"Sure enough, it's an illusion!"

Xia Ming felt secretly delighted and immediately plunged in.

What appeared before Xia Ming's eyes was a huge crystal cave.

And the ink spirit giant carp that led Xia Ming here was hiding in the deep pool nearby, trembling in fear.

After glancing at the fish, Xia Ming followed the stone steps step by step.

At the end of the stone steps was a large platform.

On the cliff wall beside the platform were densely written characters.

After swallowing the blood pill, Xia Ming quickly scanned through and roughly understood.

They recorded some formations and the name of the Yunfu Mountain person.

Yunfu Mountain person, while fishing with a golden hook, coincidentally hooked the ink spirit giant carp and followed it to this Secret Realm.

He gained many insights from the wall's writings and left behind his notes for those destined to come.

Holding a jade slip, Xia Ming copied down all the writings on the wall.

Most of them were detailed explanations of formations, which even the Goldfinger couldn't make sense of.

After surveying the surroundings, Xia Ming felt that he had suffered a big loss this time.

Formations couldn't manifest quickly, and he had wasted an opportunity to use the immortal seed.

With the enhancement of the blood pill, Xia Ming's thoughts became agile, and soon he discovered something amiss.

That ink spirit giant carp was not right!

The Yunfu Mountain person's notes were at least a hundred years old. Could the ink spirit giant carp live that long?

Not only did it live for a long time, but it was also so strong?

Something's not right! Very wrong!

Could it not be the same one?

In the midst of Xia Ming's hesitation, he slowly walked towards the deep pool where the ink spirit giant carp was.

The deep pool was filled with gold, silver, and jewels. The ink spirit giant carp liked shiny things, so these must be its usual collections.

Looking at the ink spirit giant carp's slender tentacles, Xia Ming narrowed his eyes.

This fish... has been alive for at least several hundred years, right?

Can the ink spirit giant carp live that long?

It's not even a wild beast.

Lost in thought, Xia Ming jumped into the deep pool.

With the magnetic field fully activated, Xia Ming finally found something amiss at the bottom of the deep pool.

He dove down and held up a huge golden basin.

Inside the golden basin were golden sand and gemstones.

Sitting by the pool, Xia Ming quietly watched the restless ink spirit giant carp in the water.

"Behave, and I won't kill you."

Finally, Xia Ming found a slender, bright red spirit diamond at the bottom of the golden basin.

Inside the blood-colored spirit diamond, four small characters were engraved.
