Chapter 342 Bubble Battle
Ling Xuzi, who had completely severed contact, reconnected for the first time, crawled out of Xie Xiyan's body, stretched, and subconsciously teased, "My dear disciple, why is it so quiet today?"
Not hearing a reply, Ling Xuzi looked down in confusion and found that both of them were lying on the ground.
???
Startled by what he saw, he quickly checked the two of them and, finding that they were simply extremely depleted of spiritual energy, breathed a sigh of relief. "That scared me to death."
"How come these two have gotten themselves into this state after only a short time apart?"
Fortunately, the place was relatively safe. Ling Xuzi investigated and found nothing unusual.
So, they began to gently replenish the spiritual energy of the two with elixirs.
The elixir transformed into a thin stream and gradually seeped into the two people's bodies. After a while, they noticed faint signs of awakening. Ling Xuzi stopped what he was doing and watched with a leisurely air.
Xie Xiyan was the first to wake up. As soon as he woke up, he hurriedly checked Yun Qingyi's body and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that she was alright.
Seeing this, Ling Xuzi smiled somewhat mockingly, "Oh, brat, you're awake?"
Hearing the voice, Xie Xiyan noticed Ling Xuzi floating beside him and was pleasantly surprised. "Master, you've finally decided to talk to me."
Ling Xuzi: "Hmph! If you don't come out soon, I'm afraid I'll have to collect your corpses."
Xie Xiyan pouted and muttered, "It's not that serious."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xuzi's anger subsided, and he curled his fingers as if to give him a whack on the head.
"Hehe." Xie Xiyan had expected this, and with his body almost fully recovered, he nimbly dodged the attack, grinning smugly: "Hey! You can't hit me, you can't hit me."
Xie Xiyan has now broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while Ling Xuzi, although he reached the Tribulation Transcending stage at his peak, has experienced many changes and is now only a soul. His current strength is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so he can no longer casually knock heads like before.
Seeing Xie Xiyan's irritating expression, Ling Xuzi glared and puffed out his beard, but there was nothing he could do. Suddenly, he saw Yun Qingyi's body move slightly, his eyes darting around, and he grinned mischievously: "You brat, that girl is about to wake up."
Just as he expected, Xie Xiyan immediately resumed his serious demeanor, quickly walked over, squatted down, and looked at the slightly trembling eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of him.
As soon as Yun Qingyi woke up, she saw Xie Xiyan's extremely handsome and flamboyant face. She was stunned for a moment, then silently looked away, sat up, closed her eyes to calm herself down. She had consumed more spiritual energy than Xie Xiyan, so she woke up a little later and was somewhat lacking in energy.
Seeing his disciple regain his composure, Ling Xuzi, as if seizing an opportunity, sneered and slipped behind him, then flicked his finger and smacked him on the head with a "thud."
Xie Xiyan frowned slightly, but relaxed after Yun Qingyi opened her eyes, and smiled very gently: "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"Much better." Yun Qingyi replied with a faint smile, then thought of that so-called dreamland again.
"This time, we were careless." At the time, we didn't think much of it, but now, looking back, we feel a lingering fear. If they hadn't been in the familiar Mermaid Palace, but in some other unfamiliar and dangerous place, they would likely have met with dire consequences.
Xie Xiyan, despite Ling Xuzi's hand constantly tapping his head, smiled and shook his head: "It wasn't that we were careless, but that place was inherently strange. I was actually careful to avoid overusing my spiritual energy, but I didn't sense anything at all. Moreover, even after our spiritual energy was depleted, it could still silently make us continue to overdraw our bodies..."
Before Xie Xiyan could finish speaking, Yun Qingyi seemed to realize something: "Don't you think so..."
Suddenly looking up, she met his gaze, and at that moment, a glint of light flashed in Xie Xiyan's eyes.
Yun Qingyi deftly took out the gemstone, which was a crystal clear pale gold with wisps of red light flowing inside.
After watching for a while, Yun Qingyi sighed with some regret, "It's a pity that we can't test it now to see if it's the power of this gemstone."
Xie Xiyan stared at the gem and pondered for a moment. "Logically speaking, since this gem is a component of the Thousand Illusion Mirror, its power is very likely related to illusions and hallucinations, including the ability to cause us to lose control over spiritual energy."
“That makes some sense.” Yun Qingyi thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then added, “I wonder if this gem can be used alone, or if it needs to be used in conjunction with the Thousand Illusion Mirror.”
"It's hard to say for sure, since the rules for using each artifact are different. However, if Qingyi wants to try it, we can find another opportunity to try it later."
"Okay, sure." Yun Qingyi nodded. Although the Thousand Illusion Mirror was on her, its use would be somewhat limited, especially when Xie Xiyan was around.
Therefore, since she couldn't find a legitimate reason to use it, she decided to put the Thousand Illusion Mirror aside for now.
After resting for a while, when their bodies and spiritual energy had almost recovered, they left the Mermaid Palace and headed east, as agreed beforehand.
Ling Xuzi, having had his fill of beating, withdrew his hand from Xie Xiyan's head, and, smug and satisfied, crawled back into Xie Xiyan's body.
……
The two traveled at a fast pace. Although the illusion simulated water resistance, it did not hinder their progress at all.
After the two left, the Mermaid Palace gradually disappeared, and in a hidden corner unnoticed by anyone, a magnificent fish tail quietly slid across the sky.
To the east of the illusion.
As soon as they entered the special zone, they felt an unfamiliar force guiding them.
Welcome, new challenger!
Yun Qingyi: "..."
Xie Xiyan raised an eyebrow: "..."
Familiar voice.
Let me see who the challengers are this time!
[Oh! It's someone we know! You guys aren't dead?]
Yun Qingyi: "?"
Xie Xiyan: "?"
It's rare to see you two again!
Welcome, two challengers, to the Bubble Battle themed area of Dreamland!
As soon as the mysterious female voice finished speaking, countless colorful little dolphins, flapping their tiny wings, happily blew colorful bubbles.
Please pop the bubble that matches the color of the dolphin within the time limit.
[Note: Once you choose a color, you can't play with other dolphins. If you accidentally break a bubble of another color, there will be a severe punishment!]
Of course, once you've popped all the bubbles of your chosen color, you can still choose a different color.
[Rules: Pop all the bubbles within the time limit. The challenge begins!]
Yun Qingyi was silent for a moment, then took out the Spirit Sword. In this situation, the Thunder Whip, which had a particularly large area of effect damage, was not particularly suitable.
Xie Xiyan also silently took out his longsword, his eyes brightening slightly, somewhat eager to try, and directly picked a blue bubble exhaled by a blue dolphin.
Hehe, this is the color of the clothes Qingyi likes to wear.
With just one sword strike, only one corner of the blue bubble broke.
He exchanged a glance with Yun Qingyi.
It seems this challenge is quite demanding.
Seeing this, Yun Qingyi silently replaced the Lingji Sword with the Forging Thunder Whip, while Xie Xiyan replaced the light sword with the heavy sword.
After a while, Yun Qingyi looked at the bubbles in front of her, her expression somewhat unpleasant.
The bubbles were incredibly difficult to pop. Yun Qingyi had to whip the bubble several times before she could finally break one. The red bubble in front of her was still bouncing around, and the little dolphins were having a great time, exchanging bubbles with each other.
