Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1671 – Evil Brat's Spirit Does not Leave us

That was…very informative.

Qin Yu laughed bitterly and then stared at the Sun Moon Stone, "Are the Sun Moon Eyes in there?"

Rourou nodded, "Great Lord Qin, think it through carefully. Once you take it, you will end up as someone's hated enemy. Furthermore, this person is very strong. He can kill you in one blow.

"However, don't regret your decision in the future and blame me for not explaining things to you. There is nothing I will be able to do by then."

Qin Yu felt incredibly troubled. After so much trouble, they finally had the item in their hands. What? Give it back to that man? There was no such logic like that.

He gritted his teeth and extended his arm for the Sun Moon Stone, "How do I use it?"

The side of Rourou's lips curled up, "Aren't you going to think it through?"

Qin Yu shook his head in determination.

"No way!"

Rourou gave him a thumbs up, "It is simple to use it. Hold onto the Sun Moon Stone and press it between your eyes."

Qin Yu hesitated, "Are you sure that is all?"

Rourou shook her head.

He sighed deeply. Then, he pressed the Sun Moon Stone to his forehead.

The moment it touched him, his blood and flesh disintegrated and his bones were exposed. The Sun Moon Stone was virtually etched into him.

Instantly, bright light shot out and Qin Yu forced his eyes to remain wide open. His head was shivering uncontrollably. If the pain that Xu Zhiruo experienced when she placed her Sun Moon Eyes into the Sun Moon Stone was rated at a level of ten, then when Qin Yu wanted to merge this sun and moon into his body, he experienced pain on a scale level of a few hundred.

Wise men said, 'If you have to force a melon off its branch, it is not going to taste sweet.' Trying to force something that did not belong to him into his body required a high price.

From this angle, it was fine to say that the world was fair.

"Rourou!"

Qin Yu gritted his teeth and shouted.

Rourou rubbed her nose, "What? I was just praising you. Men should be able to handle some pain to be considered men. Qin Yu, come on, such minor pain should not be considered anything to you."

She waved her sleeve and the space in front of her started to break down in layers. It instantly formed a few hundred layers that encapsulated Qin Yu's aura within. Of course, it was primarily meant to contain the sun and moon aura. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if outsiders picked up on it.

Right now, the two of them were on a moving ferry. Rourou's space cage on Qin Yu could surround him reliably. This was not easy to do.

However, it was a pity that Qin Yu was in no mood to bother about this.

As the sun and moon entered his body, it felt like the sun and moon had turned into acid that actively corroded him.

The thought of that feeling was bone-chilling!

Two days later, the ferry stopped at a harbor named Blossom Bird Woods. This place had rare flowers that bloomed here and there was a wide diversity of small birds. They were not creatures who were worthy of being spiritual creatures of cultivators, but female cultivators were fond of them. Some of the rare birds could sell for a high price.

Yet, Rourou was not interested in any of this. She did not even get off the ferry, but she instructed a cultivator on the ferry to buy some melons for her. She did not care for whether they contained spiritual energy at all and her only requirement was that they must taste good.

The ferry stopped at the harbor for two days and Rourou ate her melons while resting in her room. Occasionally she would glance at the space seal that comprised of a few hundred layers of space. Qin Yu's progress was good and he was done with a majority of the refinement. At the rate that he was progressing, he would be done in three to five days.

As expected, Qin Yu was quite talented in suffering.

Rourou was hugely satisfied.

She lifted her head and looked in a direction of the ferry. Her brows started to knit together and she thought to herself, 'This evil brat's spirit does not leave us.'

Did she really have some fate with Qin Yu?

Pfft!

Fate is nonsensical. If I say it is not fate, then it isn't. Even if it is, I will break the fate off.

Before I understand what Qin Yu's relationship is with me? Fate does not apply to him.

On the highest floor of the ferry, Bull Bean was headed to the main city with the girl and boy. She suddenly felt a shiver.

She had been lying lazily on the table and she suddenly jumped up. She stared down.

"Young miss, what is it?" The young girl opposite her appeared to be roughly thirteen or fourteen years old and she asked in concern.

Bull Bean wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, "Is it nothing, I had a bad dream."

When she woke up, the young girl, Yuan Qin, became the servant of the young miss and she was grateful to Bull Bean. When she heard Bull Bean's words, she could not help feeling at a loss for words. She thought to herself, the miss was good in all aspects but she would be muddle-headed at times. She did not even sleep just now, how could she have a bad dream?

"Miss, are you hungry? Should I ask Yuan Hu to get someone on the ferry to prepare dinner for you?"

Bull Bean thought about it. It seemed like she ate not too long ago. Furthermore, the food on the ferry was average.

Eventually, she nodded. Besides, she had nothing to do now and she could do with some food.

She did not know why the Old Ancestor left in a hurry? As long as he did not become involved in a fight, it was alright. As she thought about this, Bull Bean could not help sighing. Old Ancestor was old but he still had a temper. He often made her feel very helpless.

The day before the ferry reached the harbor, Qin Yu finally exited Rourou's room. He had been sealed in the space cage for close to ten days and his face was pale.

When people saw him walk down the corridor in a lackluster manner, some felt jealous and others felt pitiful for him.

Although many men lust over beauties, once, twice and thrice, and then five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten times doing the deed would be scary.

After all, cows could die from exhaustion but no one's house would be plowed clean.

It had been a continuous ten days of being locked in her room. Even a man made of steel would not be able to handle it. Whether he was made of gold or silver, he would turn into mush at the end.

After he closed the door, Qin Yu lay on his bed. His eyes closed and he fell asleep. He noticed the looks that people gave him but he was in no mood to bother about them.

They can think however they want to. I am just going to sleep now.

It was a pity that he was not even able to fulfill such a small wish. Before Qin Yu could fall asleep fully, Rourou called him.

They had reached the main city.

Qin Yu had regained some energy but his expression was still pale. He dragged his feet along…hm, it did look like he did that thing.

Qin Yu departed the ferry and observed that the harbor of the main city was a large one. There was a crowd in the area and many ferries were stopped here. However, none of them were large ferries and they were all small to medium-sized.

They first went to the ticketing booth of the harbor to find someone they could ask directly. Their luck was neither good nor bad. Seven days later, a large ship would arrive. It would not head to Long Mountain Area but they would need to transfer halfway.

Rourou rolled her eyes, "Do you really think it would be easy for me to teleport with you through long distances? Just take the ferry."

Qin Yu gave a handful of silver coins as the deposit for the ferry tickets and he obtained a communication device from the cultivator. When the ferry arrived, they would receive a notification.

Rourou turned and left while Qin Yu followed closely after. She had glanced in a particular direction first before decisively heading the other way. The harbor was a distance away from the main city and thankfully, this place did not forbid traveling via flying. The two quickly arrived at the main city.

After paying some copper coins, the two successfully entered the city.

This time, Rourou stopped Qin Yu from randomly finding a guest house to stay out. She scanned her surroundings and said, "Come with me."

They walked for quite a while and finally stopped at an alley beside a busy road.

Qin Yu's eyes brightened and he could sense something. Rourou said, "We will stay here for the next few days."

She stepped forward and the space shifted smoothly like water flowing. The two of them were engulfed by the space waves and they disappeared. In the next instant, bright light shone on their eyes and they appeared in a majestic courtyard.

Ignoring the architecture, the Light Flow Tiles on the roof were testament to its rich and grand aura. The spiritual energy of the world here was so thick and strong that it was enough to drown people.

Before the two of them could speak, the gates of the yard were opened from within and a servant lady carrying a lantern carefully led the way for them.

Behind her was a woman who was gorgeously dressed. The term 'gorgeously dressed' referred to the rich and noble demeanor she had. It was obvious that she came from a good background.

The woman smiled and bowed, "Is this your first time at Heaven Fragrance Residence? Welcome welcome. First things first, because there is a banquet for cultivators in the county in a few days, many VIPs have chosen to stay at Heaven Fragrance Residence. As such, we only have the Heaven Code Courtyard left."

She paused and then glanced at the two of them. When she did not see any change in their expressions, she smiled brightly.

"The Heaven Code Courtyard is the most expensive and it is priced at a string of silver coins per night. However, it is definitely worth every cent as it is closest to the spiritual energy pool. Cultivating here would be two times more effective."

Rourou nodded, "We will take it."

The woman gestured, "Please come in."

Heaven Fragrance Residence was in the main city and it was known as the best immortal guest house. As such, it was very famous. However, one would need to enter the Heaven Code Courtyard to understand its worth.

Rourou scanned the area in satisfaction.

The woman was accustomed to entertaining the guests and she had a good judgment. She smiled and informed them about their meals. Then she left with the servant lad.

Qin Yu coughed lightly, "Do we really need such an expensive room? One string of silver coins per night. Even when Yang Fanshan was around, he was not that generous."

Rourou glanced at him, "Since you know it is expensive, aren't you going to start cultivating now?"

Qin Yu sighed and turned to leave.

In fact, he knew that Rourou chose Heaven Fragrance Residence because he was not fully recovered yet and he needed an optimal cultivation area.

She was obviously concerned for him but she chose to make snarky remarks and show him a cold attitude.

However, Qin Yu only knew half the truth. Rourou did choose Heaven Fragrance Residence to give him an optimal cultivation environment.

The other reason was that she had noticed something interesting. For her chess pieces, she was not only concerned with cultivation realm, its potential was important too.

A chess piece that looked ordinary today may become very important in the future.

As she thought about it, she decided not to bother about taking her chess piece in for now. She had to wait for the right opportunity. Then she would be able to achieve the same results for half the effort.

She was very experienced with such things. After all, before she met Qin Yu, she already had plentiful chess pieces for many years.

Furthermore, the chess board was not big.

About a few hundred meters from the Heaven Code Courtyard was another upscale courtyard in Heaven Fragrance Residence.

An old woman wearing an embroidered dress was seated on a chair. She glanced at the girl lying on the floor in a black outfit, "Little girl, I will give you one last chance. Are you really going to turn down our offer to enter the Golden Toad Palace? If you change your mind right now, I will still take you in."

The girl in the black outfit lowered her head and refused to speak.

The old woman scoffed coldly, "I see, then don't blame me."
