"Little Jin, Sister has sent a letter," Yue Minzhi saw a letter and a bottle tied beneath the eagle's claws, and couldn't help but flash a beaming smile.
Since a few months ago, when Mother sent a letter saying that there was no need to send money to Shang Kingdom anymore, Yue Minzhi had felt that sothing was amiss.
Since Huahua went to Hundred Beast Mountain for cultivation, she hadn't replied to any letters, and he didn't know if it was because of the previous letter in which he persuaded her not to attend Xuanji Academy, which might have made her angry. With a bit of trepidation, Yue Minzhi opened the letter, only to see unfamiliar handwriting. The letter was not written by his sister, nor by his mother Lie Rou.
The letter detailed the recent conditions of a few people at Lie Family Mansion. The writer seed to know that he cared most about his sister Yue Jinghua, and the letter ntioned her the most.
"Yue Chen," after recognizing the signature, Yue Minzhi was taken aback once again. The letter was written by his younger brother who rarely spoke, let alone wrote letters.
It felt as if sothing was not right. Yue Minzhi vaguely sensed that sothing might have happened at Lie Family Mansion.
If the letter was sowhat surprising to Yue Minzhi, what astonished him the most was the Elixir Pill ntioned in the letter, which Yue Jinghua found by chance in their great-grandmother Feng Wanwan's alchemy room.
Yue Minzhi had visited Lie Family Mansion in his childhood. At the ti, Feng Wanwan was still alive; in his mory, his great-grandmother was an extrely formidable Pill Master. The Spirit Pills crafted by her were certainly not of Mortal quality.
Yue Minzhi took out an Elixir Pill and placed it in his mouth, and its odd flavor soon vanished.
Warmth spread around his Dantian, and his entire body felt as if it were soaked in warm water. "Excellent pill," Yue Minzhi was overjoyed. He was currently working towards reaching the Dark Earth Great Success Realm, and with such Elixir Pills, his cultivation would indeed be much more efficient.
"What a pity Huahua's Dantian is damaged and she can't cultivate Dark Skill. Otherwise, this pill would surely double her power," Yue Minzhi sighed silently, patted the head of the Golden Arrow Eagle, and asked again, "I know the letter would only report good news and not bad, Eagle, are the people at Lie Family Mansion all well?"
The Golden Sword Eagle flapped its wings clearly hesitating.
"And Huahua, is she still holding a grudge against ?" Yue Minzhi scratched the feathers of the great eagle.
If it weren't for the great eagle's thick feathers, Yue Minzhi would have noticed that when he ntioned Yue Jinghua, the eagle had actually developed goosebumps under its feathers.
"Eagle?" Yue Minzhi looked at the great eagle quizzically.
"Goo," rembering the fierce warnings of that girl who made faces, the eagle shook its head frantically.
"Well, you're just a big feathered eagle; I can't expect you to be clear. In half a year, it will be Shang Kingdom's 'Xuyang Trial.' If I can break through to the Dark Earth Great Success, I'll have the chance to represent Longzhan in the competition. Then I can visit the family at Lie Family Mansion," Yue Minzhi expressed with a mix of emotion and sighing.
He was in debt, and according to the rules of Dragon War Country's Ministry of Revenue, he could not leave the country at will. However, if he participates in a competition on behalf of the country, the situation would be different. He carefully stored away the letter and then vanished into the woods to begin his intensive cultivation.
Not long after he left, the handso young man who had been hiding in the nearby bushes walked out.
"Another letter from Lie Family Mansion. Every ti Minzhi gets a letter, he goes off to cultivate fiercely. In his eyes, there's only his sister and mother. Sigh, it's not that I bla him; the burden he bears is too heavy," the young man frowned and kicked stones underfoot, his girlish naivety revealing itself. "Minzhi cares so much about his own sister, if I could develop a good relationship with his sister Yue Jinghua, he would surely change his mind about ," musing over this thought, the young man gleefully dashed into the woods.
It was three days after Yue Jinghua returned to Poluo City.
Ni Qianjun didn't imdiately order everyone to set off but waited a few more days, which was said to be for making the final preparation.
As for the content of the Blue Diamond Task, Ni Qianjun had not disclosed it yet, only ntioning that he would notify Yue Jinghua in a few days.
During these three days, Yue Jinghua lived and ate with the rcenaries, quickly fitting into their lifestyle.
In these sa three days, both the new and veteran rcenaries noticed the distinctiveness of this rookie rcenary.
She didn't seem like a novice, demonstrating clear direction-finding in the wilderness and knowing how to conserve energy to the greatest extent, finding drinkable water sources and food.
She lacked the concept of gender distinction, sleeping fully dressed, never complaining. She lived and ate with n, and even without a bath for days, she would not whine, not at all like the young lady of a noble family, notorious for her lack of abilities.
Once, she even took part in the rcenaries' competition, and although she didn't use a trace of Dark Energy, she fought to a standstill with a barbarian.
In the eyes of rcenaries, there is no distinction between n and won, and she quickly won the support of the veteran rcenaries. As for the new rcenaries, led by Feng Buhui, due to Lihua Xue's mischief in the background, they still didn't show Yue Jinghua a friendly face.
On the fourth day early in the morning, just as Yue Jinghua walked out of the camp, she suddenly felt the whole camp shake violently.
On both sides of the camp, tall trees snapped and fell, while sand and stones rolled down like a tide below.
In the sky, a vast red ship with a length of several tens of ters and a width of more than ten ters descended from the sky. Poluo City was far from the sea, and Yue Jinghua rarely had the chance to see various ships.
Upon inspection, the ship had two levels, and the six tall masts were draped with blazing red Fire Dragon Sails.
Even accustod to the ocean-going ships of the 23rd century, Yue Jinghua was still astonished by the appearance of this massive Sky Sail.
"We're heading to Dan Demon Tomb to collect Devil Crystals; taking the Fire Dragon Sail is a relatively safe thod," Ni Qianjun ca out of the tent, and that's when Yue Jinghua learned that their mission's destination was Dan Demon Tomb.
