The injuries of the Head and the others have not recovered, and they need to recuperate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningguang came over, also looked at the Azure Phoenix with heartache, and reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone hurriedly helped to open the cave. Lishui was at the end, observing carefully for a long time, and after confirming that no demon beasts were following, he closed the plants at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave was not damp, but had a fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many Star Spirit Grasses that had lost their spiritual energy scattered on the ground, as well as some half-eaten fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, there were some spiritual herbs whose spiritual energy had not dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like food the Azure Phoenix found herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone didn't think about taking them away; these were the Azure Phoenix’s things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Azure Phoenix flew to Klee’s side and gently pecked at Klee’s space ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klee looked at the Azure Phoenix blankly, and the latter turned to look at Ganyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ganyu instantly understood the Azure Phoenix’s meaning and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want Klee to store these things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Phoenix nodded quickly and chirped a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was just a crisp bird chirp, Ganyu understood the Azure Phoenix’s meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing the Azure Phoenix’s head, she said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't recognize me as your master; we are partners, your things are still your things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But after I take you away from here, let Klee keep these things for you, and return them to you after we go out, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Phoenix chirped lightly, then landed on Ganyu’s shoulder and rubbed against her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Klee stored these scattered spiritual herbs, everyone continued to go deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The road inside the cave was winding, but not difficult to walk. Everyone felt more and more that this was definitely polished by someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Phoenix was very familiar with the inside, and soon led everyone to go deep into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as they walked, everyone suddenly saw a faint light in the depths of the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao was a bit vigilant and leaned toward Zhongli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Believe in the Azure Phoenix.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli shook his head helplessly. Even if there was danger inside, they had already reached this point, and couldn't hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't recovered much Qi now, and he had internal injuries, so he really couldn't fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Phoenix flew to the door and turned back to chirp at everyone. Everyone didn't hesitate anymore and stepped into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, their eyes lit up, and the space suddenly opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fluorescence almost lit up the entire cave. In this cave without daylight, it was like daylight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space here was not large, just larger than the Jade Chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not far away, there was a dilapidated thatched cottage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door of the thatched cottage was slightly open, and the rich fluorescence bloomed from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rich spiritual energy rushed into everyone’s body the moment they stepped into this space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venti’s face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gathering Spirit Array, and the level is very high!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at the door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice signaled everyone with her eyes. Following Alice’s line of sight, everyone was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every corner of the ground at the door, there were no less than a dozen spirit stones scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all superior and middle-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fluorescence was emitted from them. Looking at the situation, there were more spirit stones in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This space, except for the thatched cottage, only had that sloppy bird nest above the thatched cottage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like the Azure Phoenix lived here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ganyu looked at the Azure Phoenix and said in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Azure Phoenix, can we go in and take a look?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Phoenix didn't answer, but her gaze suddenly became a bit complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, after chirping in a low voice, she flew up by herself and landed on the bird nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Azure Phoenix...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Ganyu noticed that the Azure Phoenix’s mood didn't seem very high now; she seemed very sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao volunteered, holding the Primordial Jade Cutter, and cautiously groped toward the thatched cottage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the various arrays he expected didn't appear; everything was very plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Xiao arrived at the door of the thatched cottage. Ignoring the spirit stones on the ground, Xiao cautiously pushed open the wooden door with the Primordial Jade Cutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing the situation inside, Xiao was stunned on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli, who was leaning on a stone, called out with some worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao came back to his senses and hurriedly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine! Head! Everyone! Come quickly, there is a human skeleton here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skeleton?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a human one?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a former Shushan disciple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was shocked and hurriedly walked to the side of the thatched cottage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao opened the wooden door, and everyone crowded in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiao said, opposite the thatched cottage, a skeleton of medium build was sitting cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know what realm of cultivator it was, but the bones were like jade, and they even emitted a faint white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were dense spirit stones scattered on the ground. At a glance, it was estimated that there were thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside it was a somewhat dilapidated backpack, in which a jade talisman was a bit dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a space ring on the skeleton’s finger, and a strange-textured disciple token on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli felt a palpitation in his heart, stood up with difficulty, and picked up the token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently wiping the dust off it, after seeing the font clearly, Zhongli’s expression became complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Longshou Peak disciple...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao was a bit surprised. Looking closely, it was indeed exactly the same as his, but the texture of the token was a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a senior from Longshou Peak in the past. I don't know why he died here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli felt uncomfortable in his heart, looking at the skeleton in front of him, and felt uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old man, look at his chest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venti keenly noticed something wrong with the skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outer bones were like jade, but the inner bones were terrifyingly black, and covered with various terrible cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even through the empty eye sockets of the skeleton, one could see the evil runes inside his skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ganyu frowned slightly, always feeling that this appearance seemed to be what Jiang Yan had told her when he gave her extra lessons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After recalling for a moment, she was shocked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Soul-Devouring Curse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at Ganyu with some doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sect Leader once told me that this is an extremely evil technique in the cultivation world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who are hit, if they cannot solve the curse, will only spend forty-nine days of pain in the burning of soul power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watching their bodies rot and their consciousness dissipate and die.\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1202,"2026-06-14T06:26:02.540Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e1bf1af5e0a7b9953c2aa1c86020f4c4d29555a9297fc00b6ce195412ae4d928","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-197","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-195",924,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgenshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-cover.jpg"]
