The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 129 Dawn Can Be Seen

Liu Xingxing took another closer look, and their faces were so close that they were only about two or three fists apart.

"Really, you can't see any at all?"

"……Um."

Yan Qifeng's eyes never showed any other emotion.

Liu Xingxing withdrew her hand from his chin and sat back down, then looked at herself with a questioning expression as she held her own chin.

"...Could it be that the eye was not completely removed, resulting in damage to the eye socket?"

That shouldn't be the case. She acted so cleanly, quickly, and ruthlessly, and she protected the body very well when she dug it out, so it wasn't affected at all.

Liu Xingxing swiped her left hand above her right hand, and a square box appeared on her left hand. She then opened it.

Inside was a top-grade Resurrection Grass that she had obtained by chance in the southern border region of the desert, which she originally intended to refine into a Resurrection Pill.

The Soul-Returning Pill, as the name suggests, can make even a person on the verge of death come back to life as soon as they eat it. However, at least a fifth-grade alchemist is needed to refine the Soul-Returning Pill.

Of course, something so important wasn't meant to cure his eyes.

Along with it, a specially made jade box the size of a palm was also taken out and placed inside the large box, but what it contained was not an inanimate object.

Liu Xingxing smiled and looked at Yan Qifeng, who was still completely unaware: "Little fox, look over here~"

Yan Qifeng obediently turned his head to the side. Liu Xingxing took out a small jade box and held it about four or five centimeters in front of his eyes. Suddenly, she opened the jade box.

A swarm of tiny white butterflies, no bigger than ants, flew out one after another.

Yan Qifeng felt a sharp pain in his eyes and instinctively closed them, turning his head to dodge. Liu Xingxing suddenly stood up, and with lightning speed, reached out and swept away the swarm of jade butterflies trying to escape, catching them all and pulling them back into the jade box before closing the lid.

The movements were incredibly smooth and fluid, without a single lapse. He then placed the jade box back into the large box containing the Soul-Returning Grass, closed the lid, and stored it all in the Xuanmo Ring hidden in his right hand.

Seeing that Yan Qifeng was about to rub his eyes, she quickly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, don't rub it with your hands. The powder on the Jade Butterfly has the effect of healing eye diseases. It can even cure a truly blind person. It's very precious, so it's okay to waste a few to treat your eyes."

The Jade Powder Discs are indeed precious. These little creatures mostly grow in damp, poisonous places, and because they are small and easy to hide, they are not easy to catch. They are also companion creatures of the Soul-Returning Grass, so they cannot be considered demonic beasts.

This herb is hard to find, and the jade powder butterfly that accompanies it is even rarer.

Having the Resurrection Grass doesn't guarantee the presence of Jade Pink Butterflies, and Jade Pink Butterflies will die immediately if they leave the Resurrection Grass.

To capture them, you need to nurture them with Resurrection Grass, but the value of Resurrection Grass is far greater than that of them.

The only use of the white butterfly is to cure eye diseases, so few people keep them as pets unless they need them.

"Why would Qingjun Immortal raise jade butterflies?"

It's not about why they exist, but why people raise them.

It's not surprising that someone like her exists, which is why I asked that question.

"I'm just bored, so I'll give it a try. It's not like it'll take much effort."

You don't need to feed it; you can just keep it next to the Resurrection Grass. Why not?

Besides, she didn't only have that one Resurrection Grass; it was just that these Jade Pink Butterflies lived alongside it, which is why she put them together.

I haven't tried placing it next to other Resurrection Grasses to see if it works.

"I didn't know I'd need them today. Looks like keeping them around has some use after all. How are they? They should be working by now, right?"

Liu Xingxing waved her hand in front of his eyes a few times to test if he could see it.

What Yan Qifeng didn't say was that he had been able to vaguely see some things a couple of days ago, but they were always very blurry, and he could only see them clearly when he got very close.

Even though Liu Xingxing was so close just now, he only saw her vaguely. Even though she covered her face with a veil, it was still hard to hide her beautiful appearance.

He saw it very clearly, very calmly, without any emotion in it. Even when he was puzzled, there were only a few scattered emotions in his eyes, just like a heartless and desireless immortal.

(Commonly known as facial paralysis ╭(￣▽￣)╮)

Her eyes are beautiful; it's hard to imagine what they look like when they smile.

He had never seen her face, not even on that mountain called Qiwu Peak.

She always wore a veil to conceal her face, but one could tell from her appearance that she was a rare beauty.

(ps: Actually, when we first met Liu Xingxing on the mountain after returning from the valley that day, I didn't have time to remove the illusion on my face, so Yan Qifeng didn't see her true appearance. Later, after Liu Xingxing found out it was him, she wore a veil every day and never showed her face.)

The Jade Butterfly treatment was very effective. Yan Qifeng's eyes, which had previously been blurry, were gradually becoming clearer until his vision returned to normal.

Without the support of demonic power, he could no longer see clearly from several miles away as before, but he could still see clearly from a few dozen meters away, but that was all he could see.

The cold wind still howled, and the chill still pierced to the bone.

As Yan Qifeng watched the scenery he had known for hundreds of years gradually become clearer from its blurry state, it felt as if he had never lived as vividly as he did at this moment.

In the past, relying on his high birth and good talent, he always played around and didn't care about anything. He couldn't see his father's hardships and difficulties, nor could he see the restless demon kings and the unrest in the demon realm.

To be betrayed by one's closest loved one and still think that the other person must have some unspeakable reason for acting this way is truly naive and ridiculously foolish.

Having died once and lost his heart once, he now understands many things. Without his status as the young lord, and without the opportunity to easily cultivate to near-divine level with his single spiritual root, he is nothing!

He even dared to think that he could rescue his imprisoned father and turn the tide all by himself. But any one of the four demon kings could easily defeat him. It's utterly ridiculous.

Thinking of this, Yan Qifeng turned his head slightly to look at Liu Jun, who was sitting next to him and also enjoying the breeze. She was still so beautiful, and even at such a close distance, her aura was unattainable.

Her eyes seemed to hold nothing, yet everything seemed to reside within them.

Even though she was so close, so very close, he could touch her with just a wave of his hand, Yan Qifeng still felt that she was so far away from him, from them, from everything, as if they were in a different world.

"Immortal Qingjun... has he ever had someone he could confide in?"

Liu Xingxing turned to look at him: "Why do you ask that?"

"Immortals are only visible to people like clouds on the horizon, so people are always curious about them."

Liu Xingxing turned her head away, seemingly looking at the scenery or something else, her eyes remaining expressionless: "Are they curious, or are you curious?"

Yan Qifeng didn't speak, but he kept looking at her.

After a moment of silence, she said, as if some emotion had finally appeared in her eyes, "If it were me, yes... but as Immortal Qingjun, no."

Perhaps there were others like that before, but those people either died or ascended to heaven, leaving only her, and only her, still lingering.

Yan Qifeng roughly understood some of what she said and didn't ask any more questions, but he was still looking at her, as if he had something else to say.

"what happened?"

Liu Xingxing didn't look at him, but she knew he was still watching her.

This was the first time he had ever laughed since Yan Qifeng was captured: "It's been so long, and I've never seen such a celestial being before."

What he was saying was that he had never seen her face before.

Since she emerged from seclusion, quite a few people have seen her face, but most of them are elders from the Xuanshan Sect. There are also a few juniors, but not counting those who use illusion magic, she has always presented herself in this form, and he has indeed never seen her face before.

Liu Xingxing looked at him again this time, her eyes filled with a hint of amusement and teasing: "You want to see?"

Actually, it's not that she can't show her true face; wearing a veil is just to avoid unnecessary trouble. Moreover, this veil makes it impossible for others to see her true appearance, like having a fogging effect.

Yan Qifeng didn't speak, but his expression showed that he was thinking about it.

Seeing his reaction, Liu Xingxing didn't hesitate and simply pulled off the veil covering her face.
