The two leaped up and climbed onto the top of the temple.
Sure enough, they saw Yu Xuzi lying flat on the roof.
Li Xian took a deep breath and turned to look at Shen Qing, his eyes full of helplessness.
Shen Qing didn't dare to say a word, looking like she was about to cry.
At that time, the situation was so urgent that she only had time to put Yu Xuzi into the space. Who would have thought that Yu Xuzi had been placed on the roof? How could she explain this?
The two quickly walked up to Yu Xuzi. When Shen Qing saw him, she almost knelt down on the spot.
In this space, there was no distinction between day and night. It was always warm and bright. Yu Xuzi was lying face - up on the roof, his hands folded on his abdomen. His eyes were closed, and the light shone on his face, making him look as if he was sunbathing, extremely serene.
"Master..." Shen Qing's voice trembled, as if she had committed some heinous crime.
Li Xian rubbed his forehead helplessly but didn't blame Shen Qing.
After all, the situation was critical at that time. If it weren't for Shen Qing, he might not have been able to protect his master's body properly.
Although this was a bit unexpected, the result was still good in the end.
The two of them carried Yu Xuzi down from the top of the temple and laid him on the grass.
Shen Qing placed her hand on Yu Xuzi's dantian and closed her eyes, using her spiritual power to check on Yu Xuzi's physical condition.
Yu Xuzi had profound cultivation, and his body originally contained vibrant vitality. Now all his meridians had stagnated. When Shen Qing probed, she easily entered Yu Xuzi's dantian.
She was surprised to find that the dantian, which should have been dull, was still emitting golden light. A tiny human figure similar in appearance to Yu Xuzi was curled up in the dantian, like a baby.
There was a boundary around it, trapping the little figure inside.
Shen Qing was overjoyed. Yu Xuzi was really not dead!
After a cultivator died, no matter what their cultivation level was, the golden core or nascent soul gathered in the dantian would become dull, and the spiritual power in the meridians would disperse and return to the heaven and earth.
Now it seemed that Yu Xuzi was indeed sealed of his five senses and was in a deep sleep.
But how should they save Yu Xuzi?
Shen Qing withdrew her hand and told Li Xian what she had seen. She said rather distressfully, "Although it's a happy thing to know that Master is okay, if we can't find a way to break the seal on his five senses in a short time, Master's life will still be in danger."
"What should we do?"
Li Xian took out an ancient book from behind and started to look through it. "This ancient book records a case. In ancient times, there was a great expert who, unable to break through the bottleneck for a long time and with his lifespan approaching, voluntarily sealed his five senses and fell into a deep sleep. His body was then sealed in a time - stagnant formation and he woke up and advanced ten thousand years later."
"The method he used was to stimulate the five senses with the five - element elements. In fact, it's not very difficult to operate. We can give it a try."
Shen Qing raised her eyebrows. The ancient book looked familiar. "Where did you get this ancient book from? Why do I think it looks familiar?"
Li Xian gave Shen Qing a strange look and counter - questioned, "Haven't you read this ancient book?"
Shen Qing shook her head, feeling rather confused. "Didn't you take out this ancient book? It looks like a rare copy. How could I have read it?"
Li Xian paused for a moment, hooked his finger, and led Shen Qing not far behind the temple.
There were several towering trees growing in this area, and in the middle of these trees stood a small wooden house.
Standing in front of the wooden house, Shen Qing felt a bit stunned, but more speechless.
No wonder she thought the ancient book looked familiar. She had seen it before.
It was originally placed on the bookshelf in the small wooden house. At that time, Ling Zhou had forced Shen Qing to study. She had picked up this ancient book and flipped through it for a couple of pages, but the content didn't interest her, so she had put it back on the bookshelf.
But it wasn't her fault. The shabby little wooden house in the space had become much taller, and the rickety door had turned into two carved wooden doors. Who could recognize that this was the original wooden house where the books were placed?
Moreover, this wooden house was not far from the temple. It looked somewhat similar in shape to the temple, so Shen Qing thought it was part of the temple and hadn't pushed the door open to take a look.
It turned out that the things originally in the space hadn't disappeared but had changed into another form.
Shen Qing thought that if the wooden house was still there, the spiritual spring behind the wooden house must still be there too. What had the spiritual spring turned into...
Shen Qing's eyes fell on the small stream beside her. The corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily. If the wooden house had turned into a big house, then had the spiritual spring turned into a small stream?
Before, Ling Zhou had used the spiritual spring to plant many spiritual plants. Just a little bit of that water could make the purple - faced ginseng so powerful.
Now that the spiritual spring had turned into a small stream, with such a large flow of spiritual spring water...
Shen Qing swallowed hard, thinking that she could do even more things.
Li Xian saw that Shen Qing looked a bit absent - minded, so he raised his hand and waved it in front of her twice.
Shen Qing was startled and took a step back. "Wh...what are you doing?"
Li Xian pointed at the wooden house in front of them. "You really don't know that there are a lot of ancient books here? I got this ancient book from here."
Shen Qing coughed and stubbornly said, "Of course I know. That's why I said it looked familiar!"
Li Xian didn't comment. He pushed open the door.
When Shen Qing saw the scene behind the door, her mouth almost dropped open in surprise.
The original small wooden house had its bookshelves densely packed together, looking extremely cramped.
But after the wooden house was upgraded, there was space magic inside. Its volume was more than dozens of times larger than the original wooden house. The bookshelves were neatly arranged, and there were tables, chairs, benches, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones placed between each row of bookshelves.
In the distance, there were various magical tools, talismans, and pills.
Even further away, there were several screens, and there were still things behind them.
"This! It has become so big!"
Shen Qing was extremely surprised and couldn't help but sigh.
Li Xian said leisurely, "You said you knew. You're lying again."
Shen Qing felt so wronged that she didn't know how to explain.
When they were looking for Yu Xuzi just now, Shen Qing and Li Xian had briefly separated to search. Li Xian had found this wooden house. When he opened the door, he found that there were so many ancient books inside.
He immediately saw this book on the bookshelf. After flipping through it, he saw this case, so he put the ancient book on his person.
Now it seemed that his luck was still quite good.
But there was still something he didn't tell Shen Qing. Besides this ancient book, he had also hidden another ancient book on his person.
That ancient book was about the reproduction of spiritual beasts. It detailed how the dragon race and the mermaid race should reproduce their offspring.
Thinking about himself and Shen Qing... Li Xian almost immediately claimed this ancient book as his own.
Whether they would have offspring was another matter, but they should be well - prepared.
