Star Dou Great Forest periphery, edge of mixed zone.
The team is resting in a relatively safe open space, and several Inner Court disciples are processing the medicinal materials they just collected.
Lin Ciyan walked up to Li Qingfeng and said in a natural tone, "Elder Li, I want to go explore the terrain nearby and get familiar with the water sources and Soul Beast distribution patterns in this area. I'll be back in about half an hour."
Li Qingfeng was wiping his green long sword without raising his head. "Go, pay attention to safety, don't go deep."
"With your ability, as long as you don't encounter people who are over 50,000 years old or difficult soul species living in groups, you will be safe."
"Thank you Elder Li."
Lin Ciyan turned around and left the camp. His steps seemed casual, but his direction was clear.
He walked southeast along a path trodden by beasts for about three or four miles, his mental power quietly spreading, and he sensed everything around him.
Sure enough, after passing through a dense bush, the scene in front of me overlapped with a certain scene in my memory.
A clear stream with a width of less than two feet gurgled and the water made a gurgling sound.
A few kilometers away, a wooden sign was stuck in the soil. The vague writing on it was vaguely a warning.
This is it!
After Huo Yuhao left Duke's Mansion, he encountered the first sign and Wind Baboon!
Lin Ciyan stopped and looked around.
The stream is clear and clear, with small footprints of Soul Beast drinking water on the bank. The woods are dense and the terrain is relatively gentle.
He closed his eyes, and the powerful mental power was like invisible water waves, slowly spreading around him with him as the center.
One hundred meters, two hundred meters, five hundred meters...
There were no unusually powerful mental fluctuations, nor could I feel the special aura of the million-year-old Soul Beast, which was as vast as the sea and extremely weak, and there were no traces of fragments of spiritual thoughts.
"It seems that the time has not come yet, or... the fragments of Electrolux are now too weak to be detected from a distance." Lin Ciyan opened his eyes, understanding in his heart.
However, it is enough to determine the approximate scope of this key location.
When Huo Yuhao arrives in the future, the mental fluctuations produced when Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fuses will definitely not escape his perception.
[Ding! Successfully explore the key plot node 'Creek of First Encounter' in advance and get Slacking Value+500!]
[Ding! Plan ahead and plan ahead, in line with the concept of 'Relaxed Planning', Slacking Influence+100.]
The system prompt sounded in his head, and the corners of Lin Ciyan's mouth curled up slightly.
Mosquito legs are also meat, which is a good sign.
He stopped staying and turned back.
At the edge of the camp, Ling Luochеn was leaning against a tree trunk, but his eyes kept looking in the direction Lin Ciyan left.
He unconsciously rubbed the cold piece of Ice Soul Crystal Heart in his hand, feeling a pure chill coming from his fingertips, but his mind was a little confused.
It wasn't until that familiar figure reappeared that Ling Luochеn breathed a sigh of relief, quickly looked away, lowered his head to straighten his Storage Soul Tool, but his earlobes were slightly red.
Lin Ciyan nodded and smiled at her, and Ling Luochеn responded with a gentle "hmm". It was still cold, but there seemed to be a hint of tenderness in the coldness.
A few days later, the team returned safely to the Shrek Academy with a full load.
At the entrance of the college, Zhang Lexuan and several Inner Court disciples were waiting here.
She was dressed in a moon-white dress and stood tall and graceful. When she saw that the team and Lin Ciyan were safe and sound, a gentle smile broke out on her pretty face.
"Elder Li, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Lexuan saluted Li Qingfeng first.
"Haha, it's not hard! This trip went very smoothly!" Li Qingfeng was in a good mood and patted Lin Ciyan on the shoulder, "Lexuan girl, your little junior brother is really amazing!"
"Strong, quick-thinking, reliable at critical moments, and can also come up with some weird and delicious tricks to adjust the team. With him here, I'll save half the trouble of leading the team this time!"
The disciples of Inner Court who were walking around also nodded, looking at Lin Ciyan with eyes full of admiration and kindness.
Gongyang Mo said with a smile, "Sister Grandmaster, Junior Lin has helped a lot this time, and he will be well rewarded later!"
Xi Xi also nodded vigorously, his eyes shining brightly.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Lin Ciyan, with a deeper smile in his eyes, filled with pride and tenderness. "Elder Li and all the senior brothers and sisters are very grateful."
"Okay, just make sure you come back safely. I'll go to the Sea God Pavilion to recover first." Li Qingfeng waved his hand and said to Lin Ciyan.
"Boy, come and sit down at the Green Blade Pavilion when you have time, drink tea and chat with me!"
"I'll definitely bother Elder Li." Lin Ciyan agreed with a smile.
Li Qingfeng left, and the other Inner Court disciples also dispersed.
Before Ling Luochеn left, he paused slightly, looked at Lin Ciyan, moved his lips, and finally just whispered to himself, "Have a nice trip."
Then he turned around and left. His back was still cold and aloof, but his slightly accelerated pace revealed a different mood than usual.
Zhang Lexuan walked to Lin Ciyan and walked side by side with him naturally, walking in the direction of Sea God Island. "Are you tired? How was your harvest this time?"
"It's not tiring, it's quite interesting. I harvested some medicinal materials and gained some knowledge." Lin Ciyan replied casually, but the system prompts sounded in his ears one after another:
[Ding! Successfully completed the Inner Court high-level team task and received high praise from Mr. Su. He appeared as a saint in front of others and received Slacking Value+800!]
[Ding! Increase your reputation among the elite disciples of Inner Court, further deepen the image of 'Slacking Expert', and obtain Slacking Value+600!]
Although there are not many individual items, a series of prompts makes people feel happy.
He glanced at the system interface and saw that Slacking Value broke through the 60,000 mark for the first time!
And it is still slowly increasing as the news of return spreads.
Slacking Influence has also increased, but it has no impact on the overall base.
Now the cultivation speed has increased by 58%. It can be said that--
Ultimate Martial Soul The period of slow cultivation is completely over!
Return to the residences of Sea God Island and Lin Ciyan.
Zhang Lexuan took out an exquisite food box from Storage Soul Tool and opened the lid. Inside were several exquisitely crafted pastries exuding a faint Soul Power fragrance, as well as a pot of warm scented tea.
"Inner Court Medicinal Kitchen's new snacks are made with herbs that calm the nerves and clear the mind. They should taste good. You can try them."
She pushed the food box in front of Lin Ciyan, her beautiful eyes soft.
Lin Ciyan was indeed a little hungry, so he was not polite and picked up a crystal-clear pastry and put it into his mouth.
The taste is soft, glutinous and sweet, with the aroma of lotus seeds and lily. After entering the stomach, a gentle warm current spreads, nourishing the spirit.
"Well, it's delicious! Sister Lexuan, you too..." He murmured vaguely while eating, and was about to let Zhang Lexuan have a taste too.
Bang!!
The dormitory door was pushed open with a violent force and hit the wall with a loud noise.
A fiery red figure rushed in with a heat wave. Before anyone arrived, the voice came first. "Lin Ciyan!"
Lin Ciyan was so startled by the sudden movement that he choked, and the pastry crumbs spurted out. He quickly grabbed the teacup and drank a few mouthfuls of water before he regained his breath.
I saw Ma Xiaotao's pretty face with a sad look on her face, her eyes widened, and she rushed to the table in a few steps.
She was wearing a close-fitting casual suit today. There were red lines on the casual clothes. The lines wrapped around the girl's plump curves, rising and falling with her running breath, carrying endless vitality.
She made a "pop" sound.
He slapped a fist-sized piece of red metal on the table, causing the teacup to jump.
"Blazing Fire Essence Gold, is that enough?" Ma Xiaotao stared at Lin Ciyan, his tone was urgent and rushed.
"Treat! Hurry! I can't hold it in anymore!"
There was a faint redness under her fair skin, the air around her was slightly distorted, and sparks seemed to rub out from the ends of her hair, obviously she was trying her best to endure it.
Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, put down the tea cup in her hand, and showed a hint of helplessness in her beautiful eyes.
Lin Ciyan looked at the valuable Blazing Fire Essence Gold on the table, and then looked at the fiery senior girl in front of her who exuded the aura of "I'm impatient, I'm impatient, please help me quickly." Then glanced at the quiet and gentle person next to her, but faintly exuded the aura of "You just promised to stay with me for a while" Sister Lexuan.
On the surface, he looked heavy-headed and had a grimace on his face. "Senior Ma, I just came back and I haven't even finished the cakes and haven't even taken a sip of water... and the treatment requires an appointment and preparation."
I feel really happy inside.
Being "competed" for attention by two schoolmates with completely different styles but equally stunning looks, as long as you are a normal man, it is difficult not to feel a sense of vanity and pleasure.
Especially these two, one is as gentle as the moon, and the other is as fiery as fire. They are both Inner Court top goddess-level figures.
"Reservation is nonsense!" Ma Xiaotao said angrily, reaching out to grab Lin Ciyan's wrist, "I'm dying! Now! Go to Cultivation Room!"
At this moment, Sea of Consciousness appeared.
Xiyao The condensed light and shadow villain was so angry that he stamped his feet and his little face bulged into a bun.
Through her spiritual connection, a clear and charming complaint came from her. "Ayan! Don't go! She is a bad person! She is so hot that she always comes to snatch Ayan! Ayan is mine! She is mine! You can only accompany me!"
Feeling the jealousy of the little princess Xiyao, which was almost substantive, Lin Ciyan felt funny in her heart, and quickly comforted her mentally, "Okay, okay, Yaoyao, good boy, this is work, and it's paid. I'll exchange it for you for a delicious soul dessert later."
He cleverly avoided Ma Xiaotao's hand, looked at Zhang Lexuan, and showed an apologetic expression. "Sister Lexuan, look at this..."
Zhang Lexuan sighed softly, stood up, and elegantly adjusted the hem of her skirt. "Since Xiaotao is in an emergency, Ci Yan please help her take a look first. I'll save the snacks for you."
Her tone was gentle, and no emotion could be heard, but her clear eyes glanced at Lin Ciyan, and then lightly swept over the anxious Ma Xiaotao.
The meaning contained in it can only be understood by the parties involved.
"Sister Lexuan is the best!" Lin Ciyan quickly flattered, and then said to Ma Xiaotao, "Okay, okay, stop dragging me, let's go, go to Cultivation Room."
"Let's talk first. This time the situation is urgent and the consumption is high. We will have to pay more next time!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!" Ma Xiaotao grabbed Lin Ciyan's arm and almost dragged him out.
Zhang Lexuan stood by the table, watching the two people leaving. His eyes stayed on the arm that was tightly grasped by Ma Xiaotao for a moment, and then he retracted it.
She quietly covered the slightly messy food box on the table and put away the pastries with gentle and meticulous movements.
And Lin Ciyan, who was pulled away from Cultivation Room, is feeling the amazing elasticity and heat from the lotus-like arms at this moment.
The unique flame scent of Ma Xiaotao lingered on the tip of his nose mixed with the burning smell of women's body fragrance. In his ears was Xiyao's unwilling murmur, but in his heart he was thinking about Zhang Lexuan's meaningful look just now.
This day is really... painful and happy at the same time.
