Immortal World Version Text Message

“Hiss, hiss, hiss–“

Zheng Ziheng: “It said it didn’t know what Yunxi Sect was, but seeing that we are good at cultivation, if we could make a Heavenly Oath, it would believe what we said and give us this snake grass.”

The Heavenly Oath is a contract between the cultivator’s soul and Heavenly Dao.

If the Heavenly Oath is not completed within the deadline, the heaven will strike you down with ninety-nine eighty-one thunder tribulations until you die.

So people in the immortal cultivation world will not say “Do you dare to swear to the heavens? If you do this and that, your whole family will die and never be reborn” when asking others to swear.

Instead, they will say “If you have the guts, make a Heavenly Oath, and I’ll see if the thunder tribulations will strike you to death.”

Shen Leyan is not the master of Yunxi Sect, so he looked at Zheng Ziheng inquiringly.

 Zheng Ziheng promised: “No problem, I can take the Heavenly Dao oath now.”

The other party used spiritual power to cut his fingertips, dripped a few drops of blood, and used the blood to draw a mysterious pattern in the air.

Shen Leyan faintly felt a desolate and vast pressure ripple from the pattern. When it hit his dantian, it seemed as if the world had changed in an instant, making people lose their minds for a short time.

When he stabilized his mind, he only heard Zheng Ziheng’s warm voice slowly: “… With my soul, I make this oath, and the Heavenly Dao is the witness.”

The long snake was also very straightforward. Seeing that the Heavenly Dao oath was established, it immediately swam over with its scarred body and handed him the green blood snake grass wrapped on its tail.

 “Hiss, hiss, hiss…”

“It said that this green blood snake grass will probably take another twelve hours to grow, and only this land is most suitable for it to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. It suggested that we wait one more day before taking it away.”

Shen Leyan nodded. He tentatively stretched out a finger and poked the long snake’s head: “Thank you, Brother Snake!”

After speaking, he winked at Zheng Ziheng, and the other party immediately understood. He took out a bottle of healing elixir and gave it to the long snake.

The long snake swallowed it in one gulp, and the bone deep wounds on its body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shen Leyan felt sore in his limbs at this time, probably because he walked too much today and performed the “Qingying Xuan Jue” many times, which caused some excessive consumption of spiritual power.

He sat down next to the long snake and exchanged his experience in fighting with him: “Brother Snake, next time you find that you can’t win, just run away. It hurts so much to be injured like this.”

A trace of resentment flashed in the snake’s eyes.

 “Hiss…”

Zheng Ziheng: “…It said that it had long found out that it couldn’t win, and had been running away. The problem was that the Jiang Xue Sword was chasing it from behind, and it couldn’t run away.”

“Where is Sect Master Lu?” Shen Leyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Master went to wipe the Jiang Xue Sword. The Jiang Xue Sword’s sword spirit didn’t like the smell of blood on its body after a fight.”

Night fell, and the rainstorm stopped.

Three people and one snake sat around the fire to keep warm, sharing the remaining half of the giant eagle meat.

Shen Leyan held the barbecue skewered with branches in one hand and approached the fire with the other hand. His body was warmed by the firelight.

[I don’t know what Qingli is doing in Yunxi Sect now, how is the restaurant business, and whether Senior Brother Chen Jing has successfully completed the task and returned to the sect…]

[He should have completed the task, right? Maybe he has come to my room to find me several times, wanting me to buy him a drink.]

It has been more than a month since they left Yunxi Sect. Shen Leyan couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

The young man leaned against the tail of the long snake and was slightly absent-minded. His handsome face looked even whiter in the flickering firelight, and his peach blossom eyes were dark, as if a drop of ink had melted inside.

 “Junior brother, junior brother?”

Shen Leyan came back to his senses: “Senior Brother Zheng?”

“Do you miss Qingli and the others? Do you want to write a letter to them?”

He was refreshed: “Write a letter? Can it be sent to Yunxi Sect immediately?”

“Of course, use a shadow transmission technique. However, the southwest border is a bit far from Yunxi Sect, and the shadow transmission technique cannot transmit too many words. Remember to keep it short.”

“I understand – then please ask Senior Brother Zheng to help me pass it to Qingli and ask her if anything happened in the restaurant recently, whether Senior Brother Chen Jing has returned from the mission, and whether he is injured.”

A thousand paper cranes with words recorded on them flapped their wings and disappeared in the air.

Shen Leyan held his chin and waited for Qingli to reply.

The shadow transmission technique is similar to modern emails and text messages. It is delivered in real time. Qingli should reply soon after helping him to find out about Senior Brother Chen Jing.

 After waiting for about half an hour, the thousand paper cranes containing clear spiritual power finally arrived.

Shen Leyan opened the thousand paper cranes on the back of his hand, and there were only a few numbers on it.

“The restaurant is doing well, I eat well and sleep well, everything is fine. But I went to ask about Chen Jing’s news. According to other inner disciples, Chen Jing and the people who went with him to do the mission have not returned yet, maybe they were delayed on the way.”

A few lines of words were quickly read.

Somehow, when he saw the news about Chen Jing, his right eyelid twitched quickly. There was an inexplicable depression in his heart, as if something was blocking it, and his breathing was a little unsmooth.

 “Brother Zheng, do you know where Chen Jing went to do the mission, and what the specific content of the mission is?”

“I have some impression of Chen Jing… The sect’s instructor said that although he had just entered the inner sect, he practiced very hard. The tasks given to the disciples in the Qi Refining Stage by the Yunxi Sect are relatively simple and almost not dangerous.

The mission he took should be to help the villagers in a village treat infertility.”

Infertility?

 Shen Leyan was surprised: “This… shouldn’t this be the job of a doctor? Our sect can also help people treat infertility?”

“Little Junior Brother, you don’t know.” Zheng Ziheng patiently explained to him, “Some demons like to eat unformed fetuses. Therefore, in places where such demons are haunting, women who are pregnant will most likely miscarry midway. Occasionally, if they are lucky enough to give birth to a healthy child, the child will also be affected by the demon’s aura and become weak, and soon die.

Although this type of demon likes to eat dead fetuses, their cultivation is not high. If you go, you should be able to win. Logically, Junior Brother Chen Jing and the others shouldn’t encounter any danger…”

Shen Leyan nodded and murmured thoughtfully.

“If I can win… Senior Brother Chen Jing and several inner disciples should be fine.”

Perhaps he thought too much. It was the first time Senior Brother Chen Jing went out to do a mission after entering the inner sect. It was normal for him to spend some time outside to travel after completing the mission.

 But to be on the safe side, he asked Senior Brother Zheng to help him perform the Shadow Transmission Technique again, and asked Qingli to go to the inner gate to ask where Chen Jing was doing his mission.

If they happened to pass by on their way back, he could still go find him.

Qingli was very efficient.

“I found out that Chen Jing and his team were doing their mission in the southwest border, east of the southwest jungle, in a small village called ‘Yaozu Village’. I can’t tell you the exact location in a few words, if you want to find him, you can ask the locals where Yaozu Village is.”
