Chapter 235 No If
As the sound faded away, Xing'er found that her clothes had become dry without her knowing, as if the previous rain had never touched her.
However, he suddenly felt a strong discomfort in his body. He hurriedly held onto a big tree beside him, bent down and vomited.
This vomit seemed to have expelled all the foul air in his body. Along with the vomit, there was also a thick black smoke that flew away. After circling in the air for a while, the black smoke completely dissipated into the forest.
Just as Xing'er was trying to calm her disordered breathing, the old man's voice sounded again, but this time it was full of gentleness and encouragement:
"Your illness is healed, young man. Don't forget your mission." These words were like a warm current that instantly flowed through Xing'er's body. He suddenly realized that all the hardships and tests he had experienced before were perhaps for the arrival of this moment - the pain in his body was healed, and his soul was baptized and sublimated as never before.
Xing'er returned to the Bi Cang Palace with a heart full of doubts and worries. A night's rest made him refreshed, as if he had been reborn.
However, when he woke up in the morning, he found that Shen Li had not returned as usual, which made him even more worried.
Without any delay, Xing'er decided to go to the military camp to find Shen Li.
In the military camp, the sun shines on the training ground. The soldiers are in high spirits and are conducting intensive and orderly training under the strict guidance of Shen Li.
Shen Li was dressed in armor and looked heroic. Every command she gave revealed her courage and wisdom as a general.
Xing'er observed all this quietly, and was impressed by Shen Li's majesty and moved by her hard work.
When he saw that the soldiers were practicing hard but seemed to lack a more precise ability to deal with evil spirits, Xing'er suddenly had an idea and thought of a new method that might improve the training effect.
He walked up to Shen Li, politely interrupted her training instructions, and laid out his thoughts.
Xing'er suggested introducing an innovative training method to simulate the attack patterns of evil spirits so that soldiers can hone sharper intuition and quicker reaction abilities in actual combat.
At the same time, he excitedly proposed an innovative idea - designing a "ghost detector", a device that can issue timely warnings when ghosts and demons invade, to ensure that the military camp can be prepared in advance and effectively resist enemy raids.
After Shen Li heard this, a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in her eyes. She knew that although Xing'er was not very impressive on weekdays, she could always show her extraordinary wisdom and talent at critical moments.
She listened carefully to Xing'er's detailed plan and discussed its feasibility and implementation details with him.
In the end, Shen Li decided to adopt Xing'er's suggestion and immediately began to arrange related matters.
The news quickly spread in the military camp, and the soldiers looked at this seemingly ordinary boy with new eyes and cast admiring glances at him.
As Shen Li's right-hand man, Mo Fang was full of praise for Xing'er's military talent. He believed that this innovative training method and the idea of "ghost detector" would greatly enhance the defense capability and combat efficiency of the military camp and make great contributions to defending the homeland.
With the joint efforts of Xing'er, Shen Li and all the soldiers, not only has the training system been significantly improved, but the "ghost detector" they designed has become a powerful weapon for defending the territory. It has provided early warnings at critical moments many times, effectively resisted the invasion of ghosts and spirits, and made great contributions to the safety of the spiritual world military camp.
As a general, Shen Li was very curious about Xing'er's innovative move. She specially found Xing'er and asked him how he came up with such an ingenious method.
Facing Shen Li's question, Xing'er smiled and took out the mysterious "Tidal Conch" from her arms, gently stroking the delicate texture on its surface, and slowly said:
"Inspiration lies in this conch. That day, I was taking shelter from the rain in the hut of a white-bearded old man. I accidentally put the conch close to my ear and seemed to hear the sound of the sea. The ebb and flow of the tides contained endless mysteries and power. I thought that if we could apply this law of nature to our defense system, we might be able to create an unprecedented early warning mechanism. Thus, the idea of the 'evil detector' came into being."
After Shen Li heard this, a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that Xing'er could draw inspiration from such a subtle detail and create such a practical device.
Just as she was about to ask further questions, Mo Fang happened to come and report and heard the conversation between the two.
He couldn't help but interrupt: "Your Majesty, you are here. I'm sorry, I accidentally overheard your conversation."
Shen Li invited Mo Fang to sit down generously, "No problem, Xing'er and you are both my best friends, you should be like brothers and sisters, there is no need to be restrained."
Mo Fang took the conch from Xing'er, looked at it for a few seconds, and didn't care much. He asked casually, "Xing'er, where did you go to play? How did you get this conch?"
Xing'er raised her chin somewhat arrogantly and said proudly,
"Brother Mo Fang, I'm not going out for fun. I'm doing serious business. I met a mysterious immortal. You must have never had this experience, right? I'm telling you, I had a unique adventure. Also, did the old man with a white beard mention the 'Secret Valley'?"
Mo Fang showed superficial praise for Xing'er's performance. He walked up to her with a smile and said to her:
"Oh, really? So amazing! Our Xing'er has grown up! Your brother is not as good as you! Xing'er, I was wondering how you got such a bright mind. It turns out that you have the guidance of an expert. Your idea is really great. It not only solves a big problem for us, but also shows your extraordinary creativity. It is really impressive. As expected, extraordinary opportunities mean great differences. Ah Li, if we had been like Xing'er when we were young, our achievements might be even greater than they are now, right?"
Shen Li replied in a deep voice, "No ifs."
"Oh." Mo Fang nodded obediently.
However, deep down in Mo Fang's heart, he was not completely happy for Xing'er. A complex emotion surged in his heart, including recognition of Xing'er's talent and a subtle jealousy.
Mo Fang has always had a high opinion of himself, believing that he is an indispensable member of the team, but Xing'er's innovation and achievement this time made him feel unprecedented pressure and challenges.
She told Shen Li everything about how Xing'er met the white-bearded old man at the beach, was given the tidal conch, and learned the secret of the secret valley.
After hearing this, Shen Li frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. She recalled that when she was young, she had heard Master Lingzun mention the legend of the secret valley. It was a place full of unknowns and dangers, and was considered a forbidden area. Even Master Lingzun had never set foot there, let alone find its exact location.
Thinking of this, Shen Li turned to look at Xing'er and said earnestly: "Xing'er, I deeply admire your courage and wisdom.
But the secret valley is no trivial matter. There are too many unknowns and dangers hidden there. With your current strength, it would be dangerous to go there rashly.
I hope you can give up this idea, concentrate on the task at hand, and contribute your strength to the peace of the Bi Cang Palace and the entire territory. As for the secrets of the secret valley, maybe one day, when you have enough strength and preparation, it won’t be too late to explore it. "
Xing'er felt unwilling when she heard this, but she also understood Shen Li's concerns and worries.
