Offering Salted Fish To Master - chapter 83

Under the mountain, there were cavities formed by the aura scouring over the years. These cavities had different shapes, just like the tiny membranes on the human spiritual veins. The interlaced spiritual air ducts formed a little spiritual pond in the belly of the mountain, and this spiritual pond was the most important heart in there.

The tall and slender black figure leaned over the side of the spirit pool, and flicked his fingers. A golden-red liquid fell into the spirit pool, like sparks falling into the wine pool. The flame spread out in the spiritual pond, burning it silently and quickly.

The burning spiritual pond released a more concentrated aura, passing through those cavities and spreading out. The black shadow’s cold white fingers moved slightly, waved the attached aura, and turned it away.

It wasn’t easy to find the location of the spiritual pond, and it wasn’t easy to get to the side of it. If it weren’t for the fact that the spiritual Mountain in the Gengchen Xianfu had a connection with Fengshan Spiritual Fire, Sima Jiao wouldn’t find it there.

Behind him, the little flame he left behind began to slowly burn the escaping aura.

There were nine spiritual mountain ranges in the inner palace of Gengchen Xianfu, where almost everyone from the Shi family lived, and the palaces of several palace owners and heads were also there, as well as the altar square and the Fengshan Temple, all were in the center of the mountain. And the spiritual pool of this mountain was already burning with dark fire at this time, only waiting for the east wind to come.

Sima Jiao left the belly of the mountain, and waited outside for a man wearing a robe with a pattern from the Shi family. The man’s eyes were hollow and respectful. Sima Jiao walked by him, and when he tapped his forehead, he didn’t respond, but his eyes became clearer after a while, and he walked in the other direction.

There were already a lot of people like this man in the inner palace. They were marginal disciples of the family who weren’t very high in status and low in cultivation. For various reasons, they weren’t valued in the main branch. These were all the “fires” selected by Sima Jiao. When that day would come, he wanted to see the excitement and needed these fires to ignite.

Although fighting the large family branch looked scary, it was because of its huge size that it had many things that they couldn’t take into account. The tree had deep roots and couldn’t be easily uprooted, but what if you put a fire in the heart of the tree? The fire rose with the wind, burning it quietly.

There was no blood on his body this time and he didn’t see anything that could be taken home. 

Sima Jiao walked to the gate of the courtyard empty-handed.

Since when did he get the habit to always get something to bring back?

Forget it, since he didn’t bring anything, he could let her sleep well without waking her up.

Having decided it, he entered the house but didn’t find her there.

In the past, every time he came back, there would be a bulge on the big bed, a faint fragrance in the room, small plates of snacks and large bottles of spiritual liquid on the small table beside the bed, the telescope would be hanging by the bed and making a slight noise. The inner candle would always be extinguished, but there would be a small lantern with not very bright light hanging outside, and the flower-shaped shadow would fall on the ground.

But that day the house was quiet. The warm fragrance was almost dispersed, it looked deserted, and the small lanterns weren’t lit.

He thought that she went out to play again.

Sima Jiao sat in the dark for a while. He wasn’t in a good mood. He stood up and prepared to go bring her back to sleep.

As soon as he stood up, he heard a movement by the window, and the little black snake slipped in. The little black snake saw him, shook his tail in excitement, and rushed over and bit the corner of his clothes.

Sima Jiao looked down at the stupid mount that he had raised for many years. His mind hadn’t grown at all. He didn’t know what it wanted to express, and his body was almost twisted.

“Leave my clothes.”

The little black snake loosened his mouth and spinned around on the ground. Suddenly, it went to the ground, and laid stiff.

Sima Jiao looked at it for a while. His expression gradually cooled down, and asked, “Liao Tingyan?”

Hearing the name, the little black snake twisted and turned, then changed his posture and fell stiffly. Sima Jiao’s face was so cold that it was about to freeze. He picked up the little black snake twirling on the ground and threw it out, “Go find her.”

The little black snake fell on the ground and turned back into a big black snake. Sima Jiao stepped on him, and was taken towards the Ziliu Mountain Palace outside the Chen Academy.

That palace belonged to Yue Hui. The entire palace was built on the mountain. The palace was located at the highest point of the mountain. Dozens of maids and hundreds of guards guarded the little princess.

Yue Hui lived in the best palace. As a prisoner, Liao Tingyan lived in a confinement palace. At that time in Yunyi Embroidery Shop, Liao Tingyan refused to hand over the little black snake, and even let the little black snake run away. So Yue Hui was angry and directly arrested her at that time.

She thought that Liao Tingyan was from the Night Tour Palace. She was completely unafraid. After tidying up, she put her in the cold dungeon, and then forgot her there. 

It had been more than a day since that conflict, and Liao Tingyan had slept twice.

When Sima Jiao found her, Liao Tingyan was curled up in the corner, pale and very pitiful. He strode forward and squatted halfway beside Liao Tingyan, and reached out to caress her face.

It was cold in the dungeon, and her cheeks were also cold. Sima Jiao thought she had fainted at first, but later found out that she was asleep.

Sima Jiao: “…”

“Wake up.”

Liao Tingya, who fell asleep, opened her eyes and saw Sima Jiao’s fierce cold face, and heard him ask, “Are you awake, did you sleep well?” 

She nodded subconsciously, “Yes.”

The look on his face turned hideous, she suddenly became sober, and immediately changed her words, “I’m  uncomfortable, I’m too uncomfortable! You finally came to save me, oh, oh, oh!”

Sima Jiao: “Get up.”

Liao Tingyan sighed, “It’s not that I don’t want to move, I can’t move.”

Only then did Sima Jiao realize that her condition was indeed not very good. She suffered internal injuries and her spiritual power was suppressed.

Liao Tingyan looked at his face, cleared her throat and haggardly said, “Hey, if their level is lower than mine, I will try fighting them. But the other party has four cultivators in the soul formation stage, and I couldn’t beat them.”

Four of the people’s cultivation bases were similar to hers, and must have gone through a lot of battles. She was really hands-on. Not only did she have no chance of winning, she was also likely to reveal her identity, so she had to suffer a bit first. He would definitely find her anyway. She could wait until the boss arrives.

Even though she thought so, it was really painful to be kicked in the stomach and hit on the face. It was okay to lie there alone. When she saw Sima Jiao, she immediately felt uncomfortable.
