Chapter 35: Treasure Map
The next day, Huangfu Ruiyao lay on the ground, opened his eyes sleepily, and felt like he had just had a dream.

I dreamed that after I fell off a cliff, I felt very hot for a while. Then it seemed that a person who was also very hot came and helped me for a long time. In the beginning, my technique was wrong and I felt a little uncomfortable. Later, I gradually gained experience and the two of us cooperated closely to overcome the difficulties together.

Huangfu Ruiyao felt very guilty and thought to himself, "Is this the world after death? It seems not as bad as I imagined. However, I failed to find the divine object needed to break the barrier and could not see my parents for the last time. I feel sorry for Huangfu He and the others."

"I shouldn't have had evil thoughts and shouldn't have coveted the treasures in the cave. I should have left immediately after being teleported to the cave. This way, Huangfu He and the others wouldn't have died."

It turned out that Huangfu Ruiyao had another purpose in coming out this time: to find a precious medicine to treat her mother's internal injuries! Her mother had suffered very serious internal injuries due to a mistake in practicing martial arts, and she would die if she didn't receive treatment.

Seeing the elixir Zhuang Xingyu had left for Dugu Bo and feeling the powerful life force in it, she thought about taking it away to see if it could heal her mother. But before she could do anything, Dugu Bo arrived.

"You awake? Want some food?"

Huangfu Ruiyao, who was feeling sad, suddenly heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice. He subconsciously raised his "meat pad", then shuddered violently, and his mind became clear.

Looking up, I saw a 175cm tall young man standing in front of me. I couldn't tell his soul power level. (Zhuang Xingyu always wore a human skin mask when he went out.) His appearance was only average, but he was very clean and sunny, especially his deep eyes. Although he was so young, he revealed a sense of vicissitudes.

But his eyes were evasive and he didn't dare to look at me.

"Hey, all my injuries are healed! And my soul power has even increased to level 50." Huangfu Ruiyao then discovered that not only did he not feel any pain, but he also felt comfortable all over, except for some parts that had not yet healed and were aching slightly.

"It was you who saved me... Well, that's not right! Why were my clothes changed, and my profound Yin body was awakened ahead of time." Huangfu Ruiyao also understood what happened at this moment.

"You, you..." Huangfu Ruiyao looked at the handsome man in front of him, raised his hand and put it down again, not knowing how to deal with this situation.

After all, her mother had this constitution, and she knew very well that she had to follow the Zhougong ritual when she awakened. Moreover, she was seriously injured and fell off a cliff. If it weren't for the man in front of her, she would have died long ago.

"Well, girl, I came here to look for precious medicine, and accidentally found you hanging on the cliff, so I rescued you. As for what happened, I'm very sorry. Due to some accidents, my soul power suddenly rioted and was out of control, so this happened. Your clothes were originally torn, so I changed you into one of my clothes. Don't worry, the clothes are brand new. I'm really sorry!" Zhuang Xingyu explained hurriedly.

Huangfu Ruiyao stared at Zhuang Xingyu expressionlessly. It was obvious that she did not believe that Zhuang Xingyu's spirit power was out of control. However, her shaking legs showed that her heart was not as calm as she looked.

Huangfu Ruiyao was silent for a long time, then took out 60 gold soul coins from his storage ring and placed them next to Zhuang Xingyu with a "bang", piling them into two small gold mountains.

"Thank you for saving me. The 40 gold soul coins on the left are my thanks for saving me. The 20 gold soul coins on the right are my reward to you! From now on, you must forget about this matter and can't mention it to anyone, understand?" Huangfu Ruiyao said, and turned around and left decisively.

"Girl, girl, you misunderstood. Something really happened to my soul power at that time and it was out of control. I'm really sorry. I don't want the money." Zhuang Xingyu was stunned.

What happened? How did I become the "Armored Bird" king?
No, no, I can't take this money, it's humiliating me! This is about men's dignity!

"Why, the money is not enough?"

Huangfu Ruiyao took out a bunch of gold luxury items from the storage ring. "These items are worth about 40 gold soul coins. Consider them as compensation for your mental and physical damages. Go back and buy some more high-quality saffron, black wolfberry, and black tortoise to replenish your body."

"Girl, I..." Before Zhuang Xingyu could finish, he was interrupted by Huangfu Ruiyao's scream. The token in Huangfu Ruiyao's storage ring suddenly jumped out, emitting a golden light! Pointing to a crack in the stone.

"There's a reaction, there's a reaction, I finally found it! That's great!" Huangfu Ruiyao no longer had the coldness she had just now, and ran towards the crevice like a child.

Then, as if realizing something, he looked at Zhuang Xingyu warily.

"Don't worry, since you discovered it first, it's yours." Zhuang Xingyu replied quickly.

Zhuang Xingyu thought to himself again, "All this is premised on you telling me the secret later."

After all, Zhuang Xingyu will need to learn about the ancient secrets of the continent, and even some lost cultivation systems, from her in the future.

If she doesn't tell Zhuang Xingyu later, then Zhuang Xingyu will have to settle accounts with her! Who cares if you saw it first? Whoever gets it first will own it!
[Zhuang Xingyu is not a flatterer]. Apart from the previous accident, there is no other contact between him and her. It is not clear whether they will be enemies or friends in the end.

Although her Yuan Yin was broken, Zhuang Xingyu's Yuan Yang, which he had treasured for many years, was also gone!
Zhuang Xingyu relied on her to deal with the shortcomings of the Yin-Yang Law, but her extremely Yin body also needed to perform the Zhougong ritual when it awakened. If it weren't for Zhuang Xingyu, she would have died.

In this regard, both sides have mutual favors that offset each other.

But what on the other hand?
Zhuang Xingyu saved her from the cliff. If it weren't for Zhuang Xingyu, she would have no chance to awaken her physique and improve her soul power, and she would have been trapped and died in the maze long ago.

At this moment, Huangfu Ruiyao also took out a map from the crevice of the stone. It was made of paper made of the hide of a ten thousand year old black iron ox.

"Yes, this is it!" Huangfu Ruiyao checked it with the token again and confirmed that it was what he was looking for. Then he quickly put it into the storage ring.

Huangfu Ruiyao looked at Zhuang Xingyu and thought to himself, "According to this map, the divine object that breaks the barrier is in a secret place. There are many challenges in it, and I can't accomplish it alone."

"And I can't see through this man's soul power. He was able to save me from such a high cliff, so he must have a lot of skills."

"But seeing how young he is, his spirit power shouldn't be too high. It's probably about the same as mine. He must have used some treasure to conceal his aura."

"I can use treasures to lure him into cooperating with me. After the matter is accomplished, I can give him everything in the secret realm except the magic object. It won't be considered unfair to him. If he wants to steal the magic object, I am confident that I can escape with it."

"As for the Yuan Yin being broken, I will return to the family after obtaining the divine object. It will take at least several decades of practice to use the divine object to break the barrier. I will never come out again. After several decades, I believe everyone will have forgotten about this matter."

Thinking of this, Huangfu Ruiyao was no longer sad, and quickly put on a smile and extended an invitation to Zhuang Xingyu:
　The second update today will take some time, so go to sleep first! I wish you all a good dream! Good health and all the best.

　　There will be 4 chapters updated tomorrow! I will make up for the chapters I promised to add before.
