Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 360 The Ethereal Iris

As that clear, cold voice rang out, Lu Yang and the others couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

A stunningly beautiful woman in a white gauze dress appeared, ethereal and graceful, as if she were a fairy.

Xin Yi recognized the person and introduced her to Lu Yang and Chu Yuyao: "Xiao Yang, Yuyao, this is the senior sister of Lingwu Sect, named Yuan Qing!"

Immediately, Xin Yi greeted Yuan Qing, "Senior Sister Yuan Qing, hello. I am Xin Yi, an inner disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. This is my niece, Chu Yuyao, and her boyfriend, Lu Yang!"

Yuan Qing withdrew her beautiful eyes from the stone spirit fish in Chu Yuyao's hand, her heart filled with amazement. She couldn't believe that someone would treat a spirit fish like a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, or even more powerful, as an ordinary fish and grill it like that.

That's just too extravagant.

She quickly stopped herself from speaking, looked at Xin Yi and Lu Yang, and nodded slightly with her pointed chin, saying, "Junior Sister Xin Yi, and these two friends, I was just passing by when I happened to discover that you were grilling the magical Stone Spirit Fish. That's why I came uninvited to investigate. Please forgive me for disturbing you!"

Glug!

Suddenly, Yuanqing's little belly rumbled softly, though the sound was very faint, everyone present heard it clearly.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yuyao couldn't help but smile slightly, because she had recently experienced the same awkward situation as the other person.

She couldn't help but generously invite, "Senior Sister Yuanqing, we have extra grilled fish. Would you like to try one?"

Just as Yuan Qing was feeling embarrassed, a blush flashed across her exquisite, palm-sized face. She couldn't believe that Chu Yuyao would invite her to try the grilled fish. Unable to refuse, she whispered, "Junior Sister Yuyao, um...can I really try your Stone Spirit Fish?"

She never expected that Chu Yuyao, an ordinary yet stunningly beautiful woman, would be so generous as to invite her to taste the precious spirit fish, the Stone Spirit Fish. She couldn't help but ask her in return.

Chu Yuyao nodded earnestly and said, "Really, why don't you sit down with us and enjoy it now!"

Seeing that Chu Yuyao had so generously invited him, Lu Yang naturally wouldn't refuse. In truth, to him it was nothing more than a stone spirit fish. He handed the freshly grilled spirit fish to the still hesitant Yuan Qing, inviting her, "Don't be shy, sit down and enjoy it with us!"

Xin Yi smiled and invited, "Senior Sister Yuanqing, please don't be so polite!"

At the invitation of the three, Yuanqing finally couldn't resist the temptation of the stone spirit fish. She accepted the grilled fish that Lu Yang handed her with some embarrassment and began to sit on the soft grass with Lu Yang and the others to enjoy it.

This was also Yuan Qing's first time tasting the Stone Spirit Fish. Upon taking her first bite, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Delicious! This Stone Spirit Fish truly lives up to its reputation; it's simply amazing!"

"Moreover, I feel that my realm is about to truly break through!"

The Stone Spirit Fish is a precious spiritual fish comparable to a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. It contains incredibly rich spiritual energy, and with its special flesh, it can indeed help people break through the shackles of their cultivation realm.

Not only did Yuanqing feel that her realm was about to break through, but Xinyi also felt that her realm was about to break through after tasting a spirit fish. She did not delay and immediately sat cross-legged to absorb the large amount of spiritual energy contained in the spirit fish, trying to transform it into the true energy she needed.

boom!

Not long after, a deep rumble came from Xin Yi's body. After successfully digesting the Stone Spirit Fish, her martial arts realm also broke through to the fifth level of the Innate Realm.

Although Chu Yuyao did not cultivate martial arts and could not break through the shackles of her realm, after tasting a stone spirit fish, she instantly felt warm all over, as if she were enveloped in a hot spring and soaking in it. Her whole body felt extremely comfortable, and her energy and spirit were more abundant than ever before.

After Lu Yang finished tasting a Stone Spirit Fish, a deep rumble came from his body, and he successfully broke through to the third level of the Innate Realm.

He was extremely satisfied. If he were to taste another one, he believed he would definitely be able to break through another small realm.

It's easy to imagine how rare this stone spirit fish truly is.

A precious spiritual object that can truly help people break through the shackles of martial arts.

boom!

Just then, a huge blue bird shadow suddenly shot into the sky above Yuanqing's head, who was meditating nearby.

The bluebird let out a high-pitched cry in the void, its cry piercing through gold and splitting rocks, majestic and extraordinary.

Before long, the young man's illusory figure returned to Yuan Qing's body, and she slowly opened her beautiful eyes, a hint of surprise and excitement flashing in them.

She couldn't believe it either; the effects of the Stone Spirit Fish were so obvious and miraculous. She was already only half a step away from becoming a true martial arts master, and she was currently searching for a true breakthrough opportunity in the Phoenix Secret Realm.

Little did she know that her casual curiosity would lead to such a great opportunity, which truly surprised and delighted her.

She immediately stood up and sincerely thanked Lu Yang and the other two, saying, "Junior Sister Xinyi, Junior Sister Yuyao, Junior Brother Lu Yang, thank you so much! If you hadn't invited me to taste your incredibly precious Stone Spirit Fish, I would never have been able to break through the martial arts shackles so quickly and become a martial arts grandmaster!"

"From now on, if any of you three ever need anything, I, Yuanqing, will definitely repay this enormous favor!"

Xin Yi said, "Senior Sister Yuanqing, you're too kind!"

Suddenly, Yuan Qing invited Lu Yang and the other two, "Where are you three headed? If you have time, why don't you come with me to a place where there's a great opportunity!"

"Once we win it, we can split it equally among the four of us!"

Besides promising a favor, Yuanqing also planned to share a great opportunity she knew about with Lu Yang and the other two.

Lu Yang neither immediately agreed nor refused, but instead asked, "Senior Sister Yuanqing, in which direction is this excellent opportunity you mentioned located?"

If the location was convenient, Lu Yang decided to go with Yuan Qing to see what kind of good opportunity it was.

If the other party described it as a good opportunity, he figured it must be a truly great one.

Yuan Qing pointed in a direction and said, "It's towards the south!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang immediately decided to go and take a look, since it was on his way and wouldn't take much time: "Okay!"

Seeing that Lu Yang had made the decision, Yuan Qing smiled and invited, "In that case, let's set off immediately!"

Then, the group of four headed south.

After traveling for some time, Lu Yang and his three companions arrived at the entrance of a huge volcano.

The volcano stretches for miles, and from afar, one can see lava gushing out from its very center like a fiery dragon, the entire volcano shrouded in thick, swirling flames.

Within the fiery lava, there were visible, sparkling pebbles the size of pigeon eggs.
