玄娉 walked over and sat next to Chen Qing, speaking in a voice so quiet it was barely audible, "At worst, we can just kill them all."
Chen Qing turned his head in shock, kill them all?
"Li Chonghuan can't be killed."
Xuanping replied, "If we join forces, we might not be at a disadvantage."
Chen Qing understood Xuanping's implication, she was trying to reassure him not to be afraid.
As Chen Qing thought about it, even if his identity as one of the Abnormal people was exposed, it wouldn't be a huge problem. After all, they didn't know what his special abilities were.
Besides, wasn't Li Chonghuan also one of the Abnormal people?
Chen Qing flipped over and jumped into the well. As he continued to descend, the scene on the ground beca clearer; when he landed, he was no longer in human form but had transford into a door.
A door etched with purple totem patterns.
This was his true form, he was a door.
Looking over at Nie Fei, at this mont, he had taken on the form of a silver-white rat.
Li Xuetang had transford into a five-colored deer.
Li Chonghuan hadn't changed at all.
Xuanping landed, slowly transforming in mid-air. By the ti she reached the ground, she had beco a green phoenix.
Chen Qing felt the surroundings; it was a very strange sensation. He had no eyes at this mont yet could clearly perceive everything around him.
What puzzled him now was that he was actually not one of the Abnormal people!
His true form, he believed, was the Void Gate.
He had opened a door to the void.
Then why could he see all the Gu's advancent information?
Was it another reason?
The immortals never die and neither do the thieves!
He felt an inexplicable connection with this phrase, though with the limited information he had, he couldn't figure out its significance.
It wasn't about him having sothing more than normal people, but rather he had sothing less.
He lacked a layer of imprisonnt, a shackle.
Li Chonghuan didn't look at Xuanping, who had the fate of a true phoenix. Instead, his gaze fell upon Chen Qing, who had beco a door. He had never heard of this true form before and would need to return to the Immortal Court to consult the Heavenly Venerable.
Xuanping flapped her wings and flew in front of Chen Qing, "See? You aren't really an Abnormal person; you're just overthinking."
Nie Fei also added, "Right, having so strange dreams doesn't make you an Abnormal person."
"Now that we're here, let's see if we can find that well."
"The sect said, bring back the well water and you can choose any spirit Gu!"
Seeing how Chen Qing staggered when walking on the ground, Xuanping covered her mouth to laugh quietly, then flew up and grabbed Chen Qing, taking him along in her search of the surroundings.
The world inside the well was strange; rain poured incessantly from the sky, which was always shrouded in dark clouds. There were no stars, no sunlight, only endless darkness.
The lighting depended entirely on the lamps scattered all over the ground.
Everywhere was in ruins. Xuanping had just carried Chen Qing and Nie Fei for a short distance when they discovered a well.
They approached the well to take a look; this was also a dry well.
When Li Chonghuan and Li Xuetang saw them descend, they hurried over too.
Li Chonghuan simply stated, "If there's still water in the well, just don't drink it. Even immortals die if they drink it."
Chen Qing and Li Chonghuan descended to the well's bottom together. In a small muddy pit at the bottom, there was still a faint trace of water.
Li Chonghuan squatted down to carefully inspect it, "Soone got here before us and took the last bowl of water."
Chen Qing asked, "What's so special about this water?"
Li Chonghuan replied, "I don't know."
"All I know is that it's extrely poisonous."
The others also gradually descended to the bottom of the well, seeing that Li Chonghuan and Chen Qing were rely gathered around a small muddy pit, completely dried up, only slightly damp.
Nie Fei wanted to reach out and knead the mud but rembering the poison, he withdrew his hand.
"It's actually all dried up!"
"I was hoping to take so back for a spirit Gu in exchange!"
"Forget it, let's go deeper into the immortal island to look for the Spirit Sword Gu."
Li Chonghuan didn't linger long, simply leaving, while Chen Qing, due to being a door, moved the slowest.
After everyone else left, the Light Butterfly suddenly flew out from within him, picked up a seed from the dry well, and stuffed it into the remaining clump of wet mud.
Chen Qing quietly watched as the Light Butterfly returned to his body, relieved that it had not drunk the well water.
Had the Light Butterfly accidentally consud the water and died, it would have been a significant problem.
After searching the Lanrotuo Realm for a while, he found nothing, only emptiness and deathly silence.
It was as if this place was a dead world.
After leaving the Lanrotuo Realm and climbing out of the dry well, Chen Qing and Li Chonghuan parted ways once more. A young man ca by Chen Qing, "If you want to find the Spirit Sword Gu, you can keep heading upward."
The three of them parted ways with the young man. After walking for a short while, they saw that the sky was about to brighten, so they found a secluded cave to rest, planning to proceed only after nightfall.
In his dreams, Chen Qing once again found himself at that dry well he entered at night. His figure appeared in the well, seeing the seed in the clump of mud break open, revealing a hint of green, a transparent green leaf slowly unfurled.
Just then, he suddenly sensed a Gu within him was wailing.
He opened his eyes and looked at his hand. The Light Butterfly was on the Rejuvenation Butterfly, nibbling it piece by piece.
Chen Qing tried with all his might to sense the Rejuvenation Butterfly's consciousness but couldn't find it.
He looked at the Light Butterfly in his hand and had it stop eating; the Light Butterfly imdiately stopped.
Looking at the Rejuvenation Butterfly, which had completely lost consciousness, Chen Qing said, "In the future, don't eat the Gu I've contracted."
