The Unexpected Gift

Chen Yuanyuan slowly closed her eyes and suppressed the ecstasy in her heart. It was also because she had been cultivating for hundreds of years that she could still keep awake at the moment when Xiao Yi told her about the treatment for the Nine Yin Extreme Meridian instead of being overjoyed.

Chen Yuanyuan opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Yi. For the first time, she smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, I didn't expect that the fated person I've waited for hundreds of years would be a young man like you. I can't quickly improve your cultivation, but I happen to have something that I can give you. I think you can use it."

After Chen Yuanyuan finished her words, she turned around and walked to the earroom. A moment later, she had two wooden boxes in her hand.

He opened the first wooden box and pushed it in front of Xiao Yi with a smile.

Xiao Yi glanced at it, and his heart couldn't help pounding. He said in shock, "The seed of the Foundation-building Grass?"

"That's right," Chen Yuanyuan said coolly. "The seed of this Foundation-building Grass was something I acquired in my early years. I originally planned to give it to Jiuer, but... I'll give it to you now."

Xiao Yi's face changed sharply, and the excitement in his heart was hard to describe.

As the name implied, the Foundation-building Grass was the main ingredient for making Foundation-building Pills. Although the Foundation-building Pill was not the most potent pill in the Cultivation World, it was the most significant gap for cultivators. Moreover, Foundation-building Pills were extremely rare. Back in the day, the Dark Medical Sect had a large fortune. However, there were only three Foundation-building Pills. After each year's harvest, no more than 20 Foundation-building Pills were made. The Foundation-building Pills were specially prepared for the best disciples of the sect to take first. Only then would they sell the pills to other good sects.

However, even so, it made all the cultivators flock to the Dark Medical Sect like crazy.

The Foundation-building Pills had always been priceless. Since Xiao Yi broke through to the Qi-refining Realm, he had a knot in his mind. He was afraid that it would be hard to find the Foundation-building Pills. He didn't know when he could reach the Foundation-building Realm.

He didn't expect that all of this was like a dream, free of effort.

Chen Yuanyuan, however, did not have much of Xiao Yi's shock and joy. She once again opened the second wooden box.

In the wooden box was a thin thing that looked like the wing of an animal. It was black and shiny, shining with a dim light.

"These wings are the wings of a Wind Beast that I obtained by chance in my early years. If you are lucky enough to find a good artificer, you can forge equipment that greatly increases your speed. When you fought with the automatons just now, I could see that you were strong and powerful, but your speed was not fast enough. I give these Wind Beast wings to you. Perhaps you will be able to use it." Chen Yuanyuan said as she closed the wooden box and pushed it in front of Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi's heart throbbed. He had naturally heard of the wings of the Wind Beast. They were four ranks among demonic beasts, and the most precious part of them all was the wings. They were the most precious materials for forging artefacts. He hadn't thought that Chen Yuanyuan would give them to him as soon as she made a move.

Although Xiao Yi was excited, he was not in a hurry to pick up the two wooden boxes. Instead, he looked at Chen Yuanyuan and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'm an evil person and lie to you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said slowly, "If I can't even tell if you're lying to me, then I've lived for hundreds of years in vain!"

Xiao Yi also smiled when he heard Chen Yuanyuan's words. He took the two wooden boxes and bowed, "In that case, thank you, senior!"

Chen Yuanyuan looked at Xiao Yi's chest and said slowly, "You don't have to be so polite. As for the Frigid Jade Treasure Map on you. I advise you not to take the risk of looking for it."

Xiao Yi was slightly stunned, but he immediately reacted. She was referring to the treasure map he got from the Ruan siblings in Baise City. Even though it wasn't on the surface, Xiao Yi wasn't surprised. When one's cultivation had reached the Golden Pellet of Spirit Realm, it wasn't difficult for them to see that there was something hidden in someone else's body. However, what shocked Xiao Yi was Chen Yuanyuan's reminder.

"The treasure map is not carved from a piece of cold Yu Feiyan. There are four of them. If you rashly go there after getting one, you will die without a burial ground." Chen Yuanyuan said with a calm tone.

"Could it be that senior knows the mystery of this treasure map?" Xiao Yi was shocked and asked.

"Yes, after Jiuer recovers from her illness, perhaps I can go with you to look for the treasure. However, I don't want to talk about it today." Chen Yuanyuan said coldly.

Xiao Yi coldly watched her mood change, and suddenly remembered one thing in his mind. It was when Li Zicheng went to the capital city and became the Emperor of Daqing for forty-two days. When he escaped, he took away all the treasures in the Ming Palace. Until now, these treasures were unknown.

Could it be that the Frigid Jade Treasure Map was the hiding place of Li Zicheng's treasure?

When he thought about the quality of the treasure map, he found that it was the ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade. Then he looked at the ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade under Jiuer's body. Suddenly, Xiao Yi was enlightened.

There was no mistaking it. There was no doubt that the treasure map was trying to find its way into the king's treasure trove.

Only, he didn't expect that there wasn't just one treasure map, there were actually four of them. It seemed like if he wanted to look for a treasure, the path ahead was still quite long.

However, Xiao Yi was not too anxious about the treasure. This kind of thing could only be found by chance. Therefore, Chen Yuanyuan was unwilling to mention it, so he would never ask more. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior, in this case, I'll leave first. If I have the opportunity, I will spare no effort to find the materials needed to cure the Nine Yin Extreme Meridian. I hope that one day I can really save Miss Jiuer."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded her head and said slowly, "Go ahead. If I find all the materials one day, I will go to you. If you don't need me, I won't say anything more."

Xiao Yi nodded. Without saying anything, he turned around and strode away.

For a hermit like Chen Yuanyuan, it was just like what she had said. Indeed, there was no need for too many fanciful words. Many words were left unsaid.

This time, Xiao Yi told her that the Nine Yin Extreme Meridian treatment was a great favour, but Chen Yuanyuan didn't thank him. In a blink of an eye, she gave Xiao Yi two priceless treasures.

How could a person in the secular world be compared to this kind of indifference?

At this moment, Xiao Yi felt that there was a sense of unreal luck in his heart. It had been a sea disaster and had fallen to a deserted island. Who would have thought that there would be such a fortuitous encounter?

Putting aside other things, Xiao Yi had already made up his mind to plant the seed of the Foundation-building Grass in the Square Gourd and irrigate it with the water of the Spirit Spring. It was estimated that it would not be long before the seed could be successfully planted.

At that time, it would be just a matter of time to refine the Foundation-building Pill.

The Wings of the Wind Beast were just like what Chen Yuanyuan had described. Xiao Yi's cultivation was far more aggressive and less fast. With the Wings of the Wind Beast, Xiao Yi could forge a piece of speed-type equipment that could be used at critical moments.

While thinking, Xiao Yi went straight along the path of the mausoleum. Before long, he reached the ground of the island.

It was not far from the decisive battle with automatons just now. The traces of fighting on the ground were still there, but the strange and brilliant formation was no longer there.

Xiao Yi easily walked out of the reef beach.

With a move of his mind, he immediately released Yan Wu from the gourd and woke her up.

The first moment Yan Wu woke up, she felt a pair of warm big hands pushing heavily on her chest, which made her face suddenly turn red. Moreover, she remembered instantly that before she passed out, it seemed that Xiao Yi's body had a shameful reaction, and then he kissed her rudely. After that, she didn't know anything...

Looking at her blushing face, Xiao Yi naturally knew what she was thinking. However, he couldn't explain. Even if he explained, she wouldn't be able to understand.

When she was about to ask her to meet other girls, Yan Wu suddenly said with a shy face, "You, you must marry me!"

"What?" Xiao Yi was so shocked that he almost staggered.

"Gu Lu, hoo, hoo..." Yan Wu's expression changed when she saw Xiao Yi's reaction. A furious expression instantly appeared on her face as she quickly said something to Korean. Moreover, she pointed at her chest and her lips. It was as if Xiao Yi had already done something to her and had to take responsibility.

Xiao Yi only felt a headache and hurriedly said, "Hey, although I have offended you just now, but nothing really happened!"

Yan Wu was so excited that she kept talking about something. Then, she stood up and reached out to grab Xiao Yi's arm, as if she would not let him go.

Xiao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. It was hard to explain. Xiao Yi was so anxious that he could not help but sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, Chen Yuanyuan's voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Yi's ear, "Ten miles to the northwest, there's a warship out there. I think it's looking for you. Go quickly!!"

Xiao Yi's heart jumped. He knew that this must be Chen Yuanyuan's Secret Voice-sending. Since the warship had appeared here, it must be Shu Wan who had come looking for him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy, so he didn't say anything more. He hurriedly pulled Yan Wu together and ran quickly to the beach where they had just landed.

When Yan Wu saw that Xiao Yi finally stopped dodging, she couldn't help but ask happily, "You, agree?"

"What do I agree with? Impossible!" Xiao Yi said without even turning his head.

After a few minutes, they returned to the small beach.

The four girls were anxiously watching. When they saw Xiao Yi, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and were overjoyed. Just now, Xiao Yi didn't come back. They thought that he had just left. However, they didn't dare to go to Xiao Yi rashly, so they could only wait here anxiously.

Now, seeing that Xiao Yi and Yan Wu finally came back safely, they couldn't help smiling and waving their hands to indicate they would return safely.

Xiao Yi ran to the front, pushed the lifeboat into the sea, and shouted, "Hurry up and get on the boat. Our rescue has arrived!"

Although the girls didn't know why Xiao Yi said that, they didn't have the slightest doubt about Xiao Yi at this moment. They all exclaimed and climbed onto the boat.

Yan Wu, on the other hand, was no longer as indifferent as before. She just sat beside Xiao Yi.

At this moment, Xiao Yi couldn't care less about her. Following the direction that Chen Yuanyuan had pointed out, he rowed with all his might and headed for the warship...
