After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 482 Dragon Beard Cypress

"..."

The air fell into a dead silence.

After a moment, Jiang Wanying's eyes turned slightly cold. She stared at Bai Zhi and slowly said, "I've been practicing a sword technique recently, and for some reason I always feel like it's not working. Come over here and help me check it out."

"The Soul Devouring Bug I've been raising seems to have a poor appetite lately. Can you help me check it out?"

Bai Zhi raised the corner of her lips into a half-smile, and her fingertips unconsciously stroked the fur of the little white fox in her arms.

Lin Chuan looked at the two people who were on edge, sighed helplessly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "Okay, stop it, let's recover first, we still have to go to the ruins tomorrow."

"..."

The two girls looked at each other for a moment, then turned their heads away.

As night falls, it gradually becomes cooler.

Lin Chuan looked at the people around him who were closing their eyes and regulating their breathing. Their breathing was long and even, and only the candlelight cast flickering light and shadows on their faces.

He got up quietly, afraid of disturbing the tranquility in the house, and followed the direction he remembered, disappearing into the night.

Lin Chuan stopped under the mottled shadows of the trees, looking at the direction in his memory and muttering to himself: "This should be it, why is there nothing here..."

His palms probed back and forth in the void, but only touched emptiness.

The moonlight slanted down on his slightly furrowed brows, making the confusion in his eyes even more intense.

"Achuan, why is he up late at night looking for something? Could it be that Baizhi's prediction was right?"

A clear voice suddenly rang out in the night. Jiang Wanying was standing three steps away without her knowing, with a purple-winged butterfly perched on her shoulder.

"If I say I just suddenly thought of Ye, will you believe me, Senior Sister?"

Lin Chuan's body stiffened slightly, and he slowly turned his head, his tone filled with helplessness and ridicule.

"..."

Jiang Wanying stared at Lin Chuan quietly, her expression difficult to discern.

After a moment's silence, she gently raised her eyes, her tone calm but unquestionable: "Has Ah Chuan finished getting up at night? If so, let's go back together."

"it is good……"

Lin Chuan was about to nod when his eyes suddenly froze, as if he was suddenly seized by some idea. He abruptly changed the subject, "Wait, Senior Sister, since you're here, don't you think the moonlight tonight is beautiful?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly, curved the corners of his mouth, and pointed his fingertips straight at the inky black night sky without a single star.

"..."

Jiang Wanying pursed her lips slightly and glared at Lin Chuan with a reproachful look, her eyes filled with both blame and helplessness.

Then, she raised her hand lightly, and the purple-winged butterfly on her shoulder instantly transformed into dots of light, floating like stars in the night.

……

Around the campfire.

"If I had known, I would have followed..."

Bai Zhi muttered to herself, her tone full of regret and unwillingness.

early morning.

In the early morning, the first rays of dawn broke through the sky. Lin Chuan and Jiang Wanying walked side by side and returned to where everyone was.

"The moonlight was so beautiful last night. It's a pity that someone didn't go over and see it. What a shame."

Jiang Wanying had a faint smile on her lips. She glanced at Bai Zhi and deliberately dragged out her tone.

"..."

Bai Zhi raised her feet expressionlessly and walked into the ruins without saying a word.

Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. After sighing softly, he whispered to Jiang Wanying beside him: "Senior Sister, please be more harmonious when you get along with Bai Zhi in the future."

After saying that, his expression became serious, and he quickened his pace with the rest of the people, quickly catching up with Bai Zhi's figure in front.

Soon, everyone arrived at the first marked place on the ruins map.

Looking up, I saw an ancient tree with twisted trunks and branches stretching out like an umbrella not far away.

"Master, be careful."

Lin Wanxi's expression suddenly grew serious, and she subconsciously took a step forward to stand in front of Lin Chuan. "The branches of these trees can absorb the spiritual energy of cultivators. Once entangled, it is extremely difficult to escape."

"Dragonbeard Cypress? How did it appear here?"

Lin Chuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he blurted out while staring at the ancient tree.

"My husband knows it?"

Bai Zhi tilted her head slightly, a hint of inquiry in her beautiful eyes, and asked softly.

"I'm not the only one who knows this. You and Senior Sister should be familiar with this thing, right?"

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the swaying dragon beard cypress in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

"..."

The two girls nodded. When they were in the fairyland, they had set foot in countless secret and dangerous places, so they naturally knew the characteristics of the dragon beard cypress very well.

Once this tree recognizes its master, it will attack all unfamiliar auras like a loyal guard, making it a standard protective weapon for the ruins. In the past, they would destroy it without hesitation when they encountered it, but now...

I saw an inky black lotus slowly rising from Jiang Wanying's palm. As the dark petals stretched out, the surrounding space seemed to be kneaded by an invisible giant hand, causing twisted ripples.

"Sister, wait a minute, I want to go over and try it."

Seeing this, Lin Chuan hurriedly raised his hand to stop Jiang Wanying.

"Is this tree related to Achuan?"

Jiang Wanying narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, a hint of inquiry flashed across her eyes, and she asked softly.

"I don't know, maybe it's just my illusion..."

Before Lin Chuan finished speaking, he slowly stepped forward. In an instant, thick branches, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, swiftly coiled around Lin Chuan like a spirit snake.

"Strange, could it be that this memory of mine is all imaginary?"

Lin Chuan rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes full of confusion.

"Son..."

Sensing the branches coming towards Lin Chuan, Lin Wanxi immediately rushed in front of Lin Chuan.

Following her and standing in front of Lin Chuan was a huge five-tailed white fox.

"don’t worry."

Lin Chuan shook his head gently. In an instant, a streak of purple-gold lightning ripped through the void, crashing down with devastating force. In this dazzling light, the dragon-bearded cypress tree instantly turned to ash and dissipated into nothingness.

"Is this the strength of the young master? We are both in the Nascent Soul stage, why is there such a huge gap..."

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the dissipating ashes, her heart filled with shock.

"Master...it seems that he doesn't need me much..."

Feeling the strength displayed by Lin Chuan, Lin Wanxi was slightly stunned, and an indescribable feeling of powerlessness quietly spread in her heart.

"What is Achuan thinking?"

Jiang Wanying came to Lin Chuan, who was lost in thought again, and asked softly.

"..."

"nothing."

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and dispelled all his chaotic thoughts.

"Achuan, there's no need to think too much. The past has all vanished into thin air. We just need to live in the present."

"Well, let's move faster. At least we don't have to hesitate too much about the places recorded on the map."

……

In the following time, with Lin Wanxi leading the way, everyone continued to move towards the location of the ancient fairy and demon tree, and the journey was smooth.

What? You asked me how to break those restrictions. I don't know. Lin Chuan hasn't even seen what the restrictions look like. Jiang Wanying fired a black lotus and nothing was left.

What? Are there any restrictions that Jiang Wanying finds vexing? Yes, brother, there are. But in this situation, a few purple-winged butterflies fly by, and everything is solved.

What? You're asking me if there's ever been a restriction that even the two of them combined found difficult, and that only Lin Chuan could successfully resolve? Uh... not yet...

In summary, Jiang Wanying and Bai Zhi won the MVP, while the others are all winners without any effort.

Lin Wanxi raised her finger and pointed to a spot not far ahead, and said softly, "Young Master, that tree ahead is the Ancient Immortal Demon Tree."

Looking in the direction she pointed, I saw the trunk of the ancient tree was as red as blood, and its golden leaves were swaying gently in the breeze.

"Wan Xi was punished for touching the ancient tree, wasn't she?"

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, looked at the ancient fairy and demon tree, and asked with a thoughtful tone.

"No, I just stretched out my hand towards the ancient tree when the restriction was inexplicably triggered. It was a giant palm that fell from the sky. The power was probably even stronger than Sister Jiang's black lotus."

Lin Wanxi shook her head slightly, a look of lingering fear still lingering on her face, and spoke slowly.

"..."

Lin Chuan frowned slightly. He had seen Lin Wanxi's Eye of God and Demon on the battlefield of the demon clan. It was a magical power equivalent to nuclear weapons. But in front of the giant palm, it could only run away. The danger can be imagined.

"Since the difficulty of this relic has decreased, I believe the power of the giant palm will also decrease. Ah Chuan, wait for me here. I will go and give it a try."

The spiritual energy around him surged slightly, and he turned around and prepared to walk towards the ancient tree.

"Sister, wait a minute, I always feel..."

Lin Chuan frowned, and before he could finish his words, he saw the ancient fairy and demon tree not far away disappear in an instant like a bubble, and replaced by countless dark cracks in the sky. Densely packed giant palms, wrapped in the pressure of destroying the world, roared down from all directions.

"Leave these to Baizhi and me, and Ah Chuan will take Wanxi and the others and leave first."

Jiang Wanying's spiritual power surged wildly. As she spoke, she kept swinging her sword to block those giant palms.

"..."

Lin Chuan shook his head solemnly and immediately took out the magic sword.

"Senior, please help me once."

"You're just causing trouble for me."

The sword spirit's voice, with obvious dissatisfaction, echoed slowly in Lin Chuan's mind.

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful suction force suddenly hit him, and Lin Chuan's consciousness was instantly pulled into a dark space.

Then, a tall woman in a white dress appeared silently, walked slowly behind him, raised her hand slightly, and grabbed his wrist.

……

outside world.

Lin Chuan's black hair danced wildly like ink, and the fairy sword in his hand burst out with a dazzling cold light, constantly slashing towards the black cracks above the sky. Every time he swung the sword, it brought up a sharp sword energy, which resonated with the tremors of the void.

"Husband, we have to find an opportunity to retreat. Each of these giant palms has the power of a Tribulation Crossing Stage, and it's endless. If this continues for long, we will definitely not be able to hold on."

Bai Zhi's hair was disheveled, and the spiritual energy in her body was surging, but she could not hide her fatigue. She said in a hurry.

"..."

Lin Chuan ignored Bai Zhi and rushed straight towards those giant hands.

"Senior Sword Spirit, these giant palms are all attached with the same great law."

Lin Chuan's expression was solemn, the shadows of the sun and the moon slowly emerged in his eyes, and his gaze was fixed on the overwhelming giant palms.

"Just let me know if you find it."

The sword spirit's voice sounded a bit lazy as it came from behind Lin Chuan.

"He's in the space crack in the southwest. No, it's in the north. No... He can switch positions at will."

Lin Chuan frowned, the shadows of the sun and the moon flashed wildly in his eyes, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

outside world.

The women were keenly aware that Lin Chuan was in an abnormal state. They saw him rushing eastwards and then westwards in a chaotic and disorganized manner.

What was even more worrying was that blood began to seep from his eyes, and the bright red blood slid down his cheeks, making him look disheveled and weak.

"Achuan..."

Jiang Wanying's brows furrowed in anxiety. With a fierce swing of her sword, a stream of sharp sword energy erupted, forcibly splitting the giant palm that was roaring down in front of her.

Amidst the flying debris, she turned around without hesitation, tapped her feet and prepared to rush towards Lin Chuan.

"Don't come over here. Keep an eye on those ten cracks over there..."

Lin Chuan assigned the same task to each of the girls with an expressionless face and a tone that left no room for questioning.

"Son..."

Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of worry. She looked at Lin Wanxi, whose face was as pale as paper and whose body was shaky. Her lips moved, but she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"what's up?"

Lin Chuan glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao coldly, his eyes as cold as ice.

"I can more than guard ten cracks by myself. Can you help Sister Wanxi?"

Ye Xiaoxiao bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of anxiety.

"Do not……"

Lin Chuan was about to refuse, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, sir. I promise I won't let you down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiaoxiao's body instantly changed and turned into a huge white fox.

Five fluffy tails spread out behind the body. If you look closely, you will find four faint shadows looming.

……

"She can't even keep ten cracks in her body, and you want her to help others?"

The sword spirit frowned slightly, confusion written all over his face.

"Just show off your flaws. When you go out, don't go to their side. You'll definitely be caught."

Lin Chuan stared at the pale-faced Lin Wanxi outside, and a trace of barely perceptible heartache flashed in his eyes.

"It's so obvious. If he's not a fool, he won't go to the space crack over there, right?"

The sword spirit raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of suspicion.

"What if his intelligence is not high?" Lin Chuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"Do you always think so much?"

The sword spirit suddenly changed the subject and asked an irrelevant question.

"Why, Senior Sword Spirit wants to recognize me as his master?"

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.

"..."

The sword spirit was silent for a moment, then spoke unhappily, "That's wishful thinking. I must be disgusted with you. If you were at a higher level, why would I have to be so cautious in a fight?"

"My realm will improve sooner or later. Senior Sword Spirit, why don't you recognize me earlier..."

As Lin Chuan was speaking, his eyes suddenly focused, and his aura instantly tensed. He said in a deep voice, "He went to hide with Wan Xi, in the second crack on the upper right."

"Use your strongest sword move now, and he will never return..."

outside world.

Lin Chuan held a long sword in his hand, and the sword intent around him surged wildly. The long sword in his hand exuded a cold and chilling aura. Strands of coldness spread along the blade, and the air seemed to be frozen wherever it passed.

“No phase!”
