Chapter 20 Golden Light

He didn't know if it was because the seven-colored flower was his companion spirit, but he felt that communicating with the seven-colored flower was not difficult at all.

But apart from that, he never communicated with any spirits.

After the roots of the seven-colored flower penetrated the spirit field, they began to multiply rapidly. An hour later, the roots of the seven-colored flower filled the entire spirit field.

He closed his eyes, tried to focus his mind on the seven-colored flower, and then tried to ask questions of his surroundings.

?

But there was nothing there; the surroundings were like a fog, and all I could perceive was coldness and deathly silence.

Was it because his strength was insufficient? He began to doubt himself, after all, the spirit rice in the spirit field was a first-grade high-quality fish and rice.

The opposite should be a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, but I am only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"Click!"

"Hiss!"

Just as he was questioning his existence, a root suddenly bit him hard, and an unprecedented pain went straight into his soul through the root.

The pain was unprecedented; his mind went blank, and when he regained consciousness, his body was still trembling uncontrollably.

Cold sweat mingled with his tears as he clenched his trembling teeth, streaks of bright red blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. His soul nearly left the seven-colored flower.

"Damn it, it's you guys again! Seven-Colored Flower, kill them!"

After he recovered, he saw through the seven-colored flower that several golden beetles were attacking the roots, and he was furious when he saw this.

Seemingly sensing his anger, the roots darted underground like pythons. The golden beetles, not expecting the roots to retaliate, were caught off guard and were killed instantly.

After killing several golden beetles, he was still shaken. He knew he couldn't possess the seven-colored flower so easily next time, but the pain was unbearable.

He was about to retract his tentacles when an invisible wave suddenly emanated from him.

"what?"

The underground area, which had been completely still and like a dead pond, suddenly became lively as if fish food had been thrown in.

Countless faint consciousnesses kept coming from all directions, and for a moment it was as if thousands of mouths were speaking at the same time in his ears.

Moreover, these sounds were all indistinct, some were shouts, some were mutterings, some were crazy, and some were obscure.

"Bang!"

With his soul simultaneously receiving so many consciousnesses, he felt as if his head had turned into a lump of mush, and then he fainted.

Fortunately, the seven-colored flower emitted light the moment he lost consciousness, protecting his soul.

Five days later, a voice as loud as a bell suddenly rang out outside Qinglong Mountain.

"I am Xu Xuanting, the eldest elder of the Xu family. Sanada, open the formation."

Sanada, who was busy running around inside the formation, felt as if he had been granted a pardon upon hearing this voice, and quickly spoke to Xu Yuanmiao beside him.

"Yuan Miao, quickly activate the formation! By the way, where's Yuan Lang?"

"Yuan Lang is still searching for a way to eradicate the golden beetles. I've seen him working tirelessly for five days straight by the spirit field!"

Xu Yuanmiao knew that the Grand Elder must have found a way to deal with the Golden Beetle. She just felt sorry for Xu Yuanlang's efforts over the past few days, which seemed to have all been in vain.

"Sigh, after all, he is a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. It's normal that he's helpless. Let's go. The Grand Elder must have come with a solution this time."

Xu Zhentian, with a casual expression and an air of expectation, waved his hand and led Xu Yuanmiao to the foot of Qinglong Mountain.

At this moment, besides the Grand Elder, there were two other people: one was Xu Zhenfeng, whom he had sent out to deliver the message, and the other was...

"Crunch..."

Just as Xu Zhentian was about to speak, he suddenly heard teeth grinding coming from the side. He turned his head and saw Xu Yuanmiao, who was usually calm and composed, staring intently at him.

A set of silver teeth rubbed together incessantly, making a crunching sound, as if they wanted to tear the other person apart.

"Hehe, it's been a long time, sis!"

The last person was a young woman of sixteen or seventeen, with a charming smile and captivating gaze, wearing a long red dress.

She has an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and phoenix eyes with clear black and white pupils that sparkle with a lively spirit with every turn of the eye.

"Little sister, it's been a long time!"

Xu Yuanmiao's voice sounded as if it were bursting out of her own nose; the other person was her twin sister, born of the same mother.

Her name is Xu Yuanyan, the eighth in the Yuan generation. It sounds like a boy's name, but she is a genuine female cultivator.

You can tell from their names that they have a very bad relationship; one is water and the other is fire.

The two have disliked each other since they can remember. They seem to be born to clash, and if they spend even half an hour together, they're bound to start fighting.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Yuanmiao's voice was cold and impatient as he questioned her.

"I heard that my sister was helpless in dealing with the golden beetles that have been ravaging the spiritual fields of Qinglong Mountain. Luckily, I have a flock of sparrows that can eat these golden beetles."

So I applied to come and help with the Grand Elder. Why isn't my sister welcoming me?

Xu Yuanmiao looked at Xu Yuanyan, who had a bright smile on his face, and said in a low, vicious voice.

"Pretending to be something you're not!"

Xu Yuanyan, who knows her sister very well, smiled even more broadly.

"Yuen Long, didn't he say he was going to find a way to deal with the golden beetles? The golden beetles must have been dealt with by now."

Xu Zhenfeng then spoke up with a chuckle, his voice full of sarcasm.

"No, no, Yuen Long also put in a lot of effort."

"It means it didn't work out, right? And just then, the Grand Elder arrived."

Xu Yuanmiao looked at Xu Zhenfeng with displeasure, finding him increasingly annoying.

"Yuen Long, he's here too. Let's go see him."

With a smile on his face, the Grand Elder led everyone to the edge of the spirit field.

At this moment, Xu Yuanlang, who had been sitting cross-legged in the same spot for five days, was covered in thick dew, and his entire spirit robe was soaked.

Upon seeing him, the Grand Elder was startled. He could sense that Xu Yuanlang seemed to have merged with his surroundings.

"Yuen...Yuen Long..."

The elder called out cautiously, and Xu Yuanlang slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and his breathing was unusually long.

"What brings you here, sir?"

"Haha, Yuen Long!"

At this moment, Xu Zhenfeng, with his annoying smile, stepped forward, a cold smirk playing on his lips.

"I wonder if we've found a way to deal with the golden beetles!"

He circled around once, asking with a smug look on his face.

"We found it!"

"I knew it..."

Xu Zhenfeng was about to laugh when he was suddenly startled. He turned around and stared at him intently, his face stiff as he spoke.

"How could this be? It's impossible! What method have you prepared?"

"Use the golden light!"
