Two and a half hours later, Jiang Ping'an, Yu Lianhua and Ziling arrived at Vengeful Sword Valley.
In broad daylight, when viewed from a high altitude, Vengeful Sword Valley is no different from before. It is still shrouded in gloomy mist, and clouds form in the sky, blocking the sunlight.
"Lianhua, where do you want to live during this time?" Jiang Ping'an asked Yu Lianhua as the spirit boat hovered in the air.
Yu Lianhua looked forward and glanced, thought for a moment, pointed to a mountain peak on the right side of the middle and rear section of Vengeful Sword Valley and said, "That mountain."
The peak is five to six hundred feet high, and the top part already towers into the clouds.
Jiang Ping'an immediately piloted the spirit boat and flew towards the mountain peak pointed by Yu Lianhua.
Not long after, the spirit boat arrived over the mountain peak, and then Jiang Ping'an looked for a suitable settlement on the other side of the mountain Vengeful Sword Valley.
Finally, they decided to open a temporary cave on the upper mountainside.
Three Qi Refining Realm monks worked hard at the same time, and it only took two hours to dig a small temporary cave.
The entrance to the cave is one foot wide and one foot high. After entering two feet, there is a hall three feet deep, two feet wide and one and a half feet high. There is a room on each side of the hall.
Inside the cave, it is illuminated by Night Pearl.
A fog defense formation was set up at the entrance of the cave.
After the cave was built, it was evening after drinking tea and resting in the cave for most of an hour.
"Lianhua, you have a good rest, I have entered Vengeful Sword Valley to practice." Jiang Ping'an stood up and said to Yu Lianhua.
Yu Lianhua then stood up and said, "No, I want to accompany you into Vengeful Sword Valley."
Jiang Ping'an advised, "But after dark, the black fog Vengeful Sword Valley is too dangerous for you."
"I'm not afraid!" Yu Lianhua insisted.
Jiang Ping'an couldn't help but feel "moved". He hesitated a little and agreed, "Okay! Thank you, Lianhua."
As long as time goes by, he thinks Yu Lianhua cannot insist on accompanying him into Vengeful Sword Valley every night.
Yu Lianhua smiled and shook his head.
So, Jiang Ping'an and Yu Lianhua walked out of the cave together, with Ziling following behind.
After walking out of the cave, Jiang Ping'an stopped, turned around and said to Ziling, "Ziling, you can stay in the cave."
Yu Lianhua disagreed and said, "Let her also go into Vengeful Sword Valley. She will hide in a cave or cave like last time. There will be no danger."
She needs Ziling to accompany her, otherwise she will feel even more frightened by herself during the long nights in Vengeful Sword Valley while Jiang Ping'an focuses on practicing.
"Okay." Jiang Ping'an said, naturally following Yu Lianhua's wishes.
The three of them flew in the air together, crossed the peak, and landed at Vengeful Sword Valley on the other side of the mountain.
As soon as they landed on Vengeful Sword Valley, Ziling couldn't help but worry. "Miss, Master, I feel that these fogs seem to be eroding my body, and I need to use my spiritual power to resist it. My spiritual power is weak, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sustain it for long."
Yu Lianhua said, "You don't have to worry about this, we will dig a hole in the ground immediately. After hiding in the hole, not only will the fog become less, but your son will also absorb the evil spirit in the fog to practice."
"My slave knows." Ziling responded quickly.
Jiang Ping'an said to Ziling, "You preserve your spiritual power, there is no need for you to dig a hole in the ground."
Then, he and Yu Lianhua used their flying swords to dig a hole in the ground.
Before the hole was dug, black mist suddenly enveloped the place at an alarming speed, accompanied by the creepy wind howl, ghost cries, killing sounds... and so on, and Sword Wraith followed the black mist.
Ziling had never experienced this before. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling.
Jiang Ping'an waved his sleeves and covered Illusory Prison Poison Heart Array, blocking Sword Wraith from the magic circle. Then, he reached out and held one of Ziling's jade hands, comforting him. "Don't be afraid, just resist the black mist for a while."
"Thank you, Mr.." Ziling said in a genuine voice, looking at Jiang Ping'an with eyes filled with gratitude and dependence.
Jiang Ping'an smiled, let go of Ziling's hand, and continued digging.
After about half a cup of tea, the hole was finally dug.
Yu Lianhua immediately pulled Ziling and jumped into the hole, followed by Jiang Ping'an.
Yu Lianhua obviously had lingering fears about the hole she hid in last time, so she deliberately dug the hole deeper to gain more security.
Jiang Ping'an After jumping into the cave, he took out a futon and placed it on the ground at the entrance of the cave. Then he sat down cross-legged and practiced by absorbing the evil energy of the black mist.
Behind Jiang Ping'an, Yu Lianhua frowned slightly. She thought that digging the hole deeper would be able to block out the howling wind and ghosts in the valley, but she couldn't.
Because, Jiang Ping'an practice needs to absorb the evil spirit in the black mist. The cave does not isolate the black mist, so the sound comes in from the entrance of the cave.
The cry of wind howlers and ghosts is not just noise, it can also affect people's mind and emotions.
The next morning, the sun rose in the east, the black fog receded, and the fog enveloped Vengeful Sword Valley again.
Jiang Ping'an and the other three came out of the cave. Jiang Ping'an improved a bit in cultivation, while Yu Lianhua and Ziling were both sluggish.
"Lianhua, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Ping'an looked at Yu Lianhua's withered face and said with genuine distress.
Yu Lianhua shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
Last night, not only could she not fall asleep, she could not even enter samadhi.
Jiang Ping'an turned his eyes to Ziling and asked with concern, "Ziling, are you okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I'm fine, this slave." Ziling said forcefully, his face pale.
Yu Lianhua said, "Let's leave Vengeful Sword Valley first and then talk."
Jiang Ping'an responded with a "OK", released the spirit boat, called Yu Lianhua and Ziling to board the spirit boat, and then took off in the spirit boat.
On the spirit boat, Ziling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After a night of exertion, she was exhausted physically and mentally. If she was still flying in the air, she would not have the confidence to fly over the peak.
She secretly looked at Jiang Ping'an and thought to herself: Fortunately, the young master cares about me.
After returning to the temporary cave and eating some food, the three of them quickly rested and slept.
In the evening, in the temporary cave, Jiang Ping'an advised Yu Lianhua: "Don't accompany me to Vengeful Sword Valley tonight. This morning, when I saw your haggard look, I felt so sad and blamed myself."
Yu Lianhua shook his head and insisted. "I'm fine. I will keep my promise to accompany you. You don't have to worry about me, I'm not that weak."
Jiang Ping'an tried to persuade her a little more, but Yu Lianhua still insisted on accompanying Jiang Ping'an into Vengeful Sword Valley. Jiang Ping'an had no choice but to agree.
So, the three of Jiang Ping'an continued to enter Vengeful Sword Valley.
On the morning of the third day, Jiang Ping'an and three others came out of the cave.
Jiang Ping'an is in good spirits, but Yu Lianhua is even more haggard than yesterday morning. As for Ziling, the situation is even worse, his face is pale and bloodless, and even a little blue.
They quickly left Vengeful Sword Valley and returned to the temporary cave. After eating some food, the three of them quickly went to sleep.
An hour later, Jiang Ping'an suddenly opened his eyes. He turned his head and glanced at Yu Lianhua beside him, confirming that Yu Lianhua had fallen asleep.
So, he gently rolled over and got out of bed, walked out of the room, and then walked into Ziling's room.
On the stone bed, Ziling was sleeping on his side, his whole body curled up into a ball, his face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and he looked like he was obviously sleeping restlessly.
Jiang Ping'an gently sat on the edge of the bed, and Ziling woke up immediately.
Seeing it was Jiang Ping'an, Ziling quickly sat up and wanted to talk.
Jiang Ping'an immediately waved his hand, signaling Ziling not to speak, and Ziling quickly closed his mouth. Jiang Ping'an smiled at Ziling, stretched out his hand and gently took Ziling into his arms.
"I see you didn't sleep peacefully. Did you have a nightmare?" Jiang Ping'an whispered in Ziling's ear.
Ziling couldn't help but moisten his eyes and whispered, "I'm fine, slave."
Jiang Ping'an whispered, "I see it in my eyes, and it hurts in my heart."
"Sir." Ziling couldn't help but hug Jiang Ping'an tightly.
After a while, Jiang Ping'an whispered in Ziling's ear, "You pretend to be sick, and I will help you make Lianhua stop asking you to enter Vengeful Sword Valley with me."
Ziling was greatly moved, but refused. "A slave cannot deceive the young lady."
"Obey, this is my order, do you understand?" Jiang Ping'an said.
Ziling heard the unquestionable tone in Jiang Ping'an's tone and responded, "I understand, this slave is sick."
Jiang Ping'an let go of Ziling and said, "Lie back on the bed."
Ziling Follow the instructions.
Jiang Ping'an put his hand on Ziling and suddenly shouted in surprise, "Ziling, what's wrong with you?"
Ziling opened his eyes and replied weakly, "Master, I, I feel cold all over and feel uncomfortable..."
"You are sick." Jiang Ping'an said loudly and distressedly, "I have Yang He Pill here, eat it quickly."
Saying that, he immediately took out a bottle of Yang He Pill, poured out a grain of Yang He Pill and fed it to Ziling's mouth.
Ziling didn't immediately open his mouth to eat Yang He Pill, but cast a puzzled look at Jiang Ping'an. Didn't he pretend to be sick? Why did he still eat Spirit Pills?
Yang He Pill is not cheap, costing more than three spirit stones each.
"Eat quickly." Jiang Ping'an urged while giving Ziling a wink.
Ziling opened his mouth and swallowed Yang He Pill.
At this time, Yu Lianhua, who woke up when he heard the noise, came in and asked, "What's wrong with Ziling?"
"It should be that Yin Qi invaded and Divine Soul was frightened." Jiang Ping'an stood up and turned to Yu Lianhua.
Ziling looked pale, struggled to sit up, and said to Yu Lianhua very weakly, "Miss, I'm fine, I'm fine."
Jiang Ping'an turned around and pushed Ziling back to the bed to lie down. "Have a good rest."
He then said to Yu Lianhua, "I fed her one Yang He Pill, which should cure her."
"Yeah." Yu Lianhua responded to Jiang Ping'an, walked to the bed, looked at Ziling and said, "Ziling, have a good rest."
"Thank you, Miss." Ziling responded guiltily.
Yu Lianhua saw the guilty look on Ziling's face and thought that Ziling was feeling guilty for causing trouble to her because of her illness.
Jiang Ping'an stretched out his hand and pulled Yu Lianhua's jade hand out of the room to the hall.
Jiang Ping'an took out another Yang He Pill and handed it to Yu Lianhua: "Lianhua, you can also take one Yang He Pill."
"Okay." Yu Lianhua responded, took Yang He Pill and drank it, then walked back to the room, sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced Qigong.
In the evening, before Jiang Ping'an was about to enter Vengeful Sword Valley, he once again persuaded Yu Lianhua not to accompany him into Vengeful Sword Valley.
Yu Lianhua hesitated for a while, then sighed, "Okay. Lianhua is useless, I can't stay with you all the time."
"How could it be?" Jiang Ping'an said immediately, "It's the black mist in Vengeful Sword Valley that has done great harm to almost everyone. It's not just you who can't resist it."
"It's getting dark soon, I have to go in Vengeful Sword Valley quickly." Jiang Ping'an said, "Ziling, stay with the lady well."
"My slave, I obey." Ziling responded quickly.
Later, Jiang Ping'an walked out of the cave and finally flew into Vengeful Sword Valley alone.
