Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 661: Chapter 618: Reaching the Peak 27

As the three members of the Lu Family left, Lu Tianyi turned back and deeply looked at Tan Shuangshuang, who had already turned away without realizing that she unintentionally altered the fate, saving Hua Qingcheng who had saved Lu Tianyi’s life and indirectly rescued several of Hua Qingcheng’s companions.

In Tan Shuangshuang’s previous life, at this time she was at the Sixth Rank of a Martial Artist and was busy building a good relationship with Liang Ziqian, developing vague feelings for him and conflicted about whether to pursue Liang Ziqian. At that time, her mind was filled with thoughts of romance, leaving her with no desire for adventure, and even if she did go adventuring, she lacked the strength to defeat these people completely.

So, in her last life, Lu Tianyi’s parents were tragically killed by this group and Lu Tianyi was left half dead. If his heart hadn’t been positioned differently than a normal person’s, he would have been killed outright by that sword that pierced through him.

Even still, Lu Tianyi was severely injured and near death, and it was Hua Qingcheng, driven by a karmic sense to resolve the effects left by her predecessor, who urged her teammates to save Lu Tianyi.

At that time, Hua Qingcheng planned to take advantage of the group’s distraction and grab the half-dead Lu Tianyi and leave, but was discovered during the attempt, resulting in her three teammates being killed. With only Hua Qingcheng left, she barely made it out carrying Lu Tianyi, defying fate with her luck.

Because Hua Qingcheng risked her life to save Lu Tianyi, all of Lu Tianyi’s ill feelings towards Hua Qingcheng turned into goodwill. With Hua Qingcheng’s hardy disposition and decent abilities, she ended up completely winning over Lu Tianyi to become her follower.

However, in this life, due to Tan Shuangshuang’s interference, Hua Qingcheng never appeared and therefore couldn’t extend her favor to Lu Tianyi. Unknowingly, Tan Shuangshuang caused Hua Qingcheng to lose a future invaluable subordinate.

Without realizing she had once flapped the butterfly’s wings, Tan Shuangshuang was heading towards the Flower Sea Space mentioned by Lu Tianyi’s father, as she couldn’t grasp the threads of this strange organization, she could only investigate locations frequented by Lu Tianyi’s family to perhaps find some clues.

Of course, Tan Shuangshuang wasn’t so reckless as to throw herself into danger directly. As mentioned before, in her past life, unable to break through her cultivation level, she learned many odd Cultivation Techniques to pass the time; among which was the Stealth Technique.

The greatest use of the Stealth Technique is hiding; as long as it is activated, one wouldn’t be noticed even standing in front of others. Its strongest aspect is that unless someone has surpassed three Great Realms of cultivation, they cannot ascertain the actions of someone using the Stealth Technique.

Currently, Tan Shuangshuang is at the Warrior Level. Once she uses the Stealth Technique, unless a General Level high-level cultivator appears, no one could see through the technique being used by Tan Shuangshuang.

And Tan Shuangshuang believed that, based on the undisclosed circumstances from her last life, this organization didn’t have any high-level cultivators, so she figured they could only capture individuals with lower cultivation levels, which hadn’t yet drawn the attention of the Tan Family or the City Lord’s Mansion.

This indirectly proved the organization’s secrecy and cautiousness, likely eliminating all witnesses to remain so hidden.

However, regardless of their level of secrecy, this time they have exposed themselves, and as long as they don’t have warriors at the General Level, Tan Shuangshuang wasn’t afraid of handling those who might discern her whereabouts, so she boldly headed towards the Flower Sea location noted by Lu Tianyi’s father, ready to investigate the traces of this organization.

Tan Shuangshuang moved swiftly towards the Flower Sea, although she had never been there, she had heard of it because it was famous. Many adventurers and young couples from large families loved to venture to this place, more for leisure and romance than exploration.

In her past life, Tan Shuangshuang contemplated visiting with Liang Ziqian and thus studied the best times to view the flowering beauty of the place, but given Liang Ziqian’s lack of interest, she never went.

Tan Shuangshuang held a map of Mang Mountain, and a famous place like the Flower Sea was naturally marked on it. By following the map’s directions, she swiftly arrived at her destination.

This Flower Sea was located in a valley plain. The plain was vast and extended beyond sight, with flowers of various species blooming. Some were as large as dishes, while others were minuscule like stars across the sky.

Countless flowers competed to blossom, exhibiting vibrant colors that dazzled. The bloom stretched from earth to sky, truly resembling a sea of flowers, strikingly beautiful!

Tan Shuangshuang instantly fell in love with the place and secretly decided to take a few months to live there after the business was done, to cultivate while enjoying the scenery and indulge in some delicious food; it sounded like a dream.

After taking in the beauty for a while, Tan Shuangshuang collected her thoughts. As magnificent as the scenery was, her mission was paramount. Using the Stealth Technique while traveling here, she continued to deploy Spiritual Energy beneath her feet to walk lightly atop flowers, avoiding disturbing the blossoms that might alert those she sought.

Along the way, aside from various insects attracted by the Flower Sea, she saw many Jade Bees collecting nectar.

These Jade Bees were exceedingly beautiful, with a jade-like hue all over them, hence the name Jade Bees. Jade Bees excelled at making honey, which was much more delicious than that made by other bees, sweet yet not cloying, making it an exquisite Spiritual Honey.

Yet Jade Bees were aggressive, attacking in swarms that even the Great Martial Artists had to avoid. Consequently, their honey was difficult to harvest, requiring the burning of bee-attracting incense first; only once the Jade Bees were led away could harvesting commence.

If even one Jade Bee remained, it would signal others to return, summoning them back to incite a frenzy, leaving the honey gatherers with nothing but a hurried retreat and likely a free ”weight gain” session.

Tan Shuangshuang felt tempted by these Jade Bees but steadied herself, continuing her search for traces of the mysterious organization. She was thorough in her search, believing the organization chose this spot due to the crowds it attracted.

She thought this might be where they chose their captives since the Flower Sea was the place in Mang Mountain with the most populous gatherings, drawing adventurers from novice to high-level cultivators.

The reason being that the Flower Sea housed numerous spirit flowers that were precious Spiritual Medicines, requiring specific times to harvest them, leading many not here for leisure to camp while awaiting the harvest period.

Tan Shuangshuang felt that if they were selecting captives here, she could discern some clues by closely watching the expressions of passersby.
