Chapter 169: The Sword Cultivator Cousin in the Immortal Cultivation Novel (31)
Lin Xi was finally able to move freely. Yue Qian packed her things for her and took her back to the yard that was originally prepared for her.
"Miss Lin, you have worked hard to heal your wounds these days. You should have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow the Fourth Elder will come out of seclusion and will personally host a banquet to thank you. I will come to pick you up then." Yue Qian put down her things and said to Lin Xi.
"Thank you, Taoist Yue. I have been helped by you these days. Otherwise, I would not have recovered so quickly." Lin Xi nodded obediently and said sincerely.
"No, it's all thanks to Fifth Uncle's superb medical skills and Senior Brother's Ningsi Incense. I'm just doing what I can." Yue Qian said modestly with a smile, and then handed Lin Xi an exquisite little jade pendant.
"Although your legs and feet are much better now, you still need to take good care of them. Here is the jade spoon for the spiritual spring pool in the back mountain. You can soak in it for half an hour every day. It will be very beneficial for your recovery from injuries."
Lin Xi saw the word "Qian" on the jade token and wanted to refuse, but Yue Qian forced it into her hand, "I have no injuries now, just take it."
"Thank you, Taoist Yue." Lin Xi could only take it and thank Yue Qian with a smile.
The two chatted for a few more sentences before Yue Qian got up and left. Lin Xi watched her figure disappear completely, then she threw herself on the bed without any image, and sighed. It turned out that having a healthy body was the most important thing. Now she could finally travel without relying on others.
After lying on the bed for a while, she suddenly seemed to remember something. She took out the jade slip for voice transmission from her arms and tried to contact Wei Qingchuan, who had not appeared since that day. However, the jade slip lit up for a long time, but there was still no response. Lin Xi sighed helplessly and put the jade slip away again.
After resting for a while, seeing that it was getting dark outside, Lin Xi smelled herself, who was about to be pickled by the herbs, and decided to go to the spiritual spring that Yue Qian mentioned to wash and get rid of the bad luck on her body. She quickly packed her clothes and went out.
Standing in the yard, she took out a small bamboo leaf-shaped magic weapon from her storage bag. This was also the flying magic weapon given to her by Yue Qian. It did not require spiritual power to drive it. Every time she needed to use it, she only needed to put a low-grade spirit stone in the groove at the tip of the bamboo leaf, and then silently recite the place she wanted to go, and it would take her there.
Although the speed of this small bamboo leaf is not as fast as that of a flying sword, it is not slow and is very stable. After using it several times, Lin Xi found that his fear of heights was alleviated a lot, so he liked it very much.
There were quite a few spirit stones in the gifts that several elders gave to Lin Xi. Wei Qingchuan and Yue Qian also gave her a lot these days. She was very wealthy now, so she didn't feel bad about using them. She quickly pressed a spirit stone into the groove, and the bamboo leaf-sized magic weapon slowly turned into the size of a cushion, just enough for Lin Xi to sit on. She silently chanted "Spiritual Spring in the Back Mountain" in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the magic weapon paused in the air and did not move for a long time. Just when Lin Xi was wondering if it had malfunctioned, it finally flew slowly in one direction.
After flying for about a quarter of an hour, the little bamboo leaf slowly stopped in front of a stone gate. Lin Xi put the little bamboo leaf away, walked to the stone gate, took out the jade key that Yue Qian gave her, and printed it on the stone platform in front of the gate.
The stone door opened with a sound. She walked in and looked around curiously. She found that the surrounding scenery was no different from what Lin Xi had seen along the way, except that the vegetation was more lush than outside. It seemed that this spiritual spring was indeed worthy of its reputation.
After walking for a while, two forks in the road suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xi. She was stunned. Why did she have to make a choice when taking a bath? And the scenery on both sides looked no different.
Lin Xi thought for a moment and simply picked one at random, thinking that at worst she could just return it later, so she lifted her skirt and walked towards the road on the left.
After walking about a hundred meters inside, Lin Xi heard the sound of gurgling water. She was delighted, thinking that she had made the right choice, so she quickened her pace and walked forward. Turning a corner, she saw a pool filled with misty white steam under the shade of bamboo forest.
Today was the full moon in the sky, illuminating everything around with exceptional clarity. Therefore, Lin Xi could see at a glance the tall figure leaning against the pool wall with his eyes closed in the misty water vapor.
Thanks to the good medicines Yu Xusheng had used to treat her injuries these days, Lin Xi's ears and eyesight are now unusually sharp. Even through the hazy steam, she can see the situation of the person opposite her clearly.
Most of his body was submerged in the water, with only a slender neck and most of his strong chest exposed. His inky long hair was casually scattered, with the ends of his hair floating on the water, like a large piece of seaweed that wanted to entangle and sink him.
His face was pale, but his thin lips were unusually red. A few strands of hair wet by moisture stuck to his cheeks, softening his stiff features. His usual cold and stern look was completely gone. Who else could this be but Wei Qingchuan, who had been out of contact for several days.
The breeze blew a gust of cold air into Lin Xi's nostrils, which suddenly woke her up from her dazed head. She was shocked. She didn't expect Wei Qingchuan to be here at this hour, and she had barged in so blatantly. She wanted to turn around and leave with a guilty conscience.
The next second, she heard a splashing sound of water. She subconsciously looked over there, but before she could figure out what was happening, her vision suddenly went dark and she felt something covering her head.
"Ouch!" Lin Xi's vision was blocked and she suddenly lost her direction. She stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell forward, falling into the water with a splash.
Fortunately, the thing covering her head fell to the side just before she fell into the water. After choking on two mouthfuls of water, she immediately steadied herself, struggled to swim to the edge of the pool, hugged the slippery stone wall, and began to cough wildly.
"Lin Xi?" A big hand stretched out in front of her. Lin Xi looked up and saw that the pale-faced Wei Qingchuan had put on a robe at some point and was stretching his hand towards her with a frown.
"Ahem, cousin, what a coincidence." Lin Xi smiled awkwardly and reached out her hand to use his help to climb out of the pool.
"Why are you here?" Seeing Lin Xi shivering with her arms hugged, Wei Qingchuan's eyes flashed with helplessness. He cast a spell to dry her hair and clothes while asking.
"Senior Sister Yue Qian told me that there is a spiritual spring in the back mountain that can help me heal my wounds, so I came here." Lin Xi felt a warm breeze on her body, and her clothes immediately became much drier. She looked at Wei Qingchuan's still wet hair, bit her lip, and said a little embarrassedly, "Thank you, cousin."
"The healing hot spring is on the other side, and this is a cold spring." Wei Qingchuan withdrew his hand, his face turned a little paler, but he still said with all his strength, "Let's go back."
