Morning.
The gentle sunlight shone down.
The Flower Ridge under the rising sun had an extraordinary beauty.
Li Yingling and the others strolled slowly to the place where they had captured the flower spirit the previous night.
Both the spirit stone and the wood spirit crystal were gone.
San Dong was also not here.
Zhang Miaoyu showed a bit of displeasure and said, "Taking the things and running away, this little flower spirit is so ungrateful."
"The flower spirits are naturally cautious. It's normal for it not to come," Xie Lingyu casually explained. Anyway, she was sure that Li Yingling didn't really expect San Dong to stay here.
That little flower spirit was extremely timid. Its little legs must have been shaking like crazy last night.
Zhang Miaoyu knew Xie Lingyu's identity and didn't dare to talk back, but she thought their team leader's kindness had been wasted. She whispered complainingly,
"Then it shouldn't have taken the team leader's spirit stone and wood spirit crystal."
Li Yingling patted Zhang Miaoyu on the shoulder indifferently and said,
"Just consider it compensation for scaring it yesterday. The scenery here is so nice. Don't think about so many unpleasant things. Let's go and see what secrets are hidden in this Flower Ridge."
Judging from San Dong's timid expression and its rather weak cultivation in Li Yingling's eyes, it was unlikely to have any great adventures.
If San Dong came, it could act as a guide.
If it didn't come, they could just wander around on their own.
If they really wanted to find this little flower spirit, there were plenty of ways, but it wasn't necessary.
It was still uncertain whether there were the so - called adventures mentioned by the head of the Tianyan Sect here. They just needed to record this place.
Li Yingling smiled and said, "Then I'll lead the team myself! Are you ready to set off?"
"Wait... San Dong is here..."
A faint sound came from a certain place.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw San Dong hiding behind a big flower. The nervousness on its little face still hadn't faded.
Zhang Miaoyu looked over and asked in a strange tone,
"Since you're here, why didn't you come out when we called you just now?"
San Dong showed an obsequious smile and said,
"I... I was a bit scared... and didn't dare to make a sound."
Li Yingling showed a sincere smile. Whenever her kindness was truly reciprocated, a warm feeling would rise in her heart, giving her a feeling of the vastness of the world.
"Since that's the case, little San Dong, lead the way and let us see where the most beautiful places in this Flower Ridge are."
San Dong nodded vigorously and summoned up the courage to say,
"Follow me."
San Dong was most familiar with the Ten Thousand Flower Ridge. It had spent countless winters here.
It had visited every corner of the Ten Thousand Flower Ridge and knew where the scenery was the most beautiful.
San Dong led Li Yingling and the others to the nearest scenic spot.
It was a cliff. Instead of exposed soil, there were flowers twining around the branches, covering the entire cliff.
At first glance, it was like a wall of flowers, which was quite spectacular.
"Um..."
Li Yingling nodded in satisfaction.
As time passed, San Dong's nervousness and fear gradually decreased.
Maybe it was because Li Yingling and the others were very gentle, always smiling and praising the Ten Thousand Flower Ridge, which San Dong loved the most.
Maybe it was because San Dong had been very lonely. It was also enjoying this feeling of communication and companionship.
Li Yingling followed San Dong to many hidden scenic spots in the Ten Thousand Flower Ridge.
There were beautiful flowers hidden in an unnoticed cliff.
There were pure white flowers that could bloom in the water.
Later, San Dong would introduce everything around with great enthusiasm and happily share its understanding of the Ten Thousand Flower Ridge.
Although its words were a bit strange, the overall feeling was still very good.
Li Yingling naturally immersed herself in it, curiously observing the flowers, especially the ones that could bloom in the water without showing their heads at all.
Could she plant them in her own sect when she got back?
Xie Lingyu also seemed to be touched, and a smile began to appear on her lips.
Zhang Miaoyu also gradually began to look around and appreciate the scenery.
San Dong would introduce every beautiful flower and lead them to places that were rarely visited by others.
Until San Dong brought Li Yingling and the others in front of a mountain cliff full of blooming flowers.
To get here, they had to pass through a natural cave, and the light shone down.
Li Yingling looked at the cliff, which was a bit similar to the ones they had seen before.
She thought that San Dong had shown them all the places it knew and was just too embarrassed to say so.
Li Yingling looked at it for a while and nodded in satisfaction, saying,
"It's very beautiful. Thank you, San Dong. If we've finished the tour, we'll just wander around on our own."
San Dong quickly shook its head and said,
"Coming here isn't for you to look at the flowers. It's to look at this mountain wall. This mountain wall is so beautiful. I've only seen it here."
Beautiful mountain wall?
Li Yingling felt very strange. She slightly raised her hand and used her spiritual power to push aside the flowers covering the mountain wall.
Soon, a set of magnificent rituals was engraved on the mountain wall.
The traces of the rituals were very shallow. If one didn't observe carefully and just glanced over casually, it would be extremely difficult to notice them.
Moreover, there were the flowers hiding it, and the location was also a bit tricky.
Xie Lingyu's eyes immediately locked onto it and she began to try to decipher this set of rituals.
San Dong looked at Li Yingling and the others who were silent and thought that they were shocked by this magnificent natural wonder.
This was naturally normal. After all, she had also been shocked when she first saw it.
San Dong discovered this place when he accidentally tumbled into it one day.
The lines here were drawn very straight and had an indescribable beauty.
For this reason, San Dong also searched other mountain cliffs and then confirmed that among the entire Wanhua Ridge, only the cliff here was the most unique.
This must be a creation of nature, and a unique one at that.
"There is no spiritual energy fluctuation," Zhang Miaoyu said after observing for a while.
"This ritual device probably has lost its effect. If there were any secrets, they should have been revealed. It probably has little value."
The excited expression on San Dong's face instantly froze - what was a ritual device?
Wasn't this thing naturally formed?
Could it be that this thing was man - made?
Ah?
Was it really or just a lie?
Xie Lingyu carefully observed for a moment and put forward a different opinion:
"What if this ritual device has more than one layer? What if the real driving spiritual energy is behind it?"
Hearing this, Zhang Miaoyu suddenly felt that it made sense, so she whispered a suggestion:
"Shall we open it and take a look?"
Xie Lingyu was about to speak up to stop them. After all, no one could be sure if there were any dangerous things behind it. They should make preparations first if they wanted to open it.
Li Yingling spoke up first and vetoed the idea:
"Don't open it for now. This thing clearly has a long history. Generally, the older a thing is, the more dangerous it is."
"There's no need to rush to open it. According to the previous division of areas, Master isn't far away. Contact Master. If Master is free, invite him to take a look. If not, we'll then figure out how to open it on our own."
San Dong looked at the cliff ritual device in shock.
This thing was dangerous?!
