Xiaoxaio's life passes like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, she has come to her third life. In this life, she is a book seller, running a bookshop with a rich collection of rare books called "Ink Fragrance." The Ink Fragrance Bookstore is located in a quiet corner in the city center, with a green stone path leading to an ancient wooden door. In front of the door, a small bridge crosses a flowing stream, reflecting the wooden structure of the bookstore and the leisurely figure of Xiaoxaio.
Just as the day begins to break, the rosy light shines through the wooden windows of the study, casting Xiaoxaio's figure long. She opens the window, and the fresh air, carrying the scent of books, rushes in. She takes a deep breath, lovingly looking at the neatly arranged ancient books in the study, which is an ocean of knowledge and also the Treasure Pavilion where she seeks clues to the Nine Lives Stone.
On this day, when the first light of dawn pierced through the wooden window of the study and shone on her face, she suddenly discovered an ancient book. The cover of the book was already blurry, but she could vaguely see three words - "Nine Lives Record".
Her heart rate instantly accelerated as she carefully opened the book, and every page seemed to contain endless mysteries. On one page of the book, she finally found a record of the possible location of the Nine Lives Stone. The book described that the Nine Lives Stone might be hidden in the "Tianyin Ancient Cave", a mysterious place deep in the Tianshan Mountains, from which the legendary sound of the three realms is said to originate.
Xiaoxaio was extremely excited, knowing that this was an important clue to the Nine Lives Stone. She quickly tidied up her study and prepared to head to the Tianyin Ancient Cave. However, it seemed that this news had also reached the ears of many others.
As Xiaoxaio stepped into the wilderness, a group of people in black suddenly surrounded her from all directions. Greed and murderous intent shone in their eyes, clearly from some faction that wanted to obtain information about the Nine Lives Stone.
Xiaoxaio remained calm and composed, her hand firmly gripping the "Ice Heart" longsword, its blade shimmering with a cold light as it pointed towards the unwelcome guests. A hint of indifference flashed in her eyes as she swiftly wielded the sword, and with a glint of cold light, several black-clothed figures immediately fell to the ground.
However, the number of enemies was simply too great, and despite Xiaoxaio's formidable martial skills, she began to feel the mounting pressure. Her sword dance grew faster and fiercer with each strike, her white garments swirling amidst the blossoming blood, quietly turning crimson.
A tall figure in black suddenly emerges from the enemy ranks, wielding a giant axe. Amidst the flashing of the axe and sword, he engages in a fierce battle with Xiaoxaio, making it difficult to determine who has the upper hand. Each of his attacks seems to freeze the surrounding air.
Xiaoxaio finds it hard to breathe, but her eyes show unwavering determination. In that moment of life and death, she suddenly understands the deeper meaning of Nine Lives Stone and sees clearly her own mission.
At that moment, her swordsmanship suddenly became more fierce, and each sword was as shocking as thunder. Finally, in an instant, her sword pierced the heart of the man in black, forcing him back.
Xiaoxaio gasped for breath, watching the fleeing enemies around her, understanding that this was just a small adventure on the way to finding the Nine Lives Stone, and the road ahead was still very long.
With the singing of the wind, Xiaoxaio arrived at the entrance of Tianyin Ancient Cave.
Tianyin Ancient Cave is said to be the origin of the music of the three realms, and its existence has been buried under the dust of time. Xiaoxaio stood in front of the cave entrance, took a deep breath, and stepped into the cave. The interplay of light and shadow in the cave seemed to conceal ancient secrets. Every step she took felt like walking on thin ice, dangerous and thrilling.
The air in the cave was damp and cold, yet this chill could not dampen the fiery spirit in Xiaoxaio's heart. As she ventured deeper into the ancient cave, she saw ancient runes carved into the stone walls, each seeming to tell the legend of the Nine Lives Stone.
After an endless exploration, Xiaoxaio finally arrived at a mysterious hall. In the center of the hall, a massive stone platform bore nine mysterious runes, each pulsing with unfathomable power. As Xiaoxaio approached the platform, she could feel a mysterious force flowing within it.
She carefully made her way around to the back of the stone platform and saw a small groove that astonishingly resembled the shape of the "Nine Lives Stone" she had read about in a book. " Xiaoxaio " quietly took out the " Book of Righteousness " she had obtained from the old man and quickly flipped to the description of the "Nine Lives Stone," confirming that the shape of the groove was indeed that of the "Nine Lives Stone."
However, the "Nine Lives Stone" was not in the groove, which left " Xiaoxaio " feeling somewhat disappointed. She took a deep breath and decided to explore the hall further. Following her intuition, she walked towards the deepest part of the hall.
In the deepest part of the hall, she discovered an ancient stone monument with ancient inscriptions. As she gazed at the words, she seemed to see the mysterious power of the Nine Lives Stone flowing within them.
As she tried to delve deeper into understanding, suddenly a violent tremor spread throughout the entire hall, and the runes on the stone walls suddenly lit up, emitting a mysterious glow. And as the runes lit up, a passage began to rise from the central stone platform in the hall.
Xiaoxaio was surprised and felt a strong force pulling her in. Without hesitation, she walked towards the mysterious passage. As she delved deeper into the passage, she felt the surrounding space distorting, and time slowing down.
Suddenly, a strong light burst from the end of the passage, illuminating the entire space. Xiaoxaio was instantly drawn to this intense light and felt the presence of the Nine Lives Stone, which was right at the end of the passage.
She quickened her pace and walked towards the end of the passage. With each step closer, she felt the power of the Nine Lives Stone growing stronger. Finally, at the end of the passage, she saw the legendary Nine Lives Stone, shimmering in the light, emitting a mysterious power.
Xiaoxaio's heart was filled with joy and excitement. She slowly reached out her hand, wanting to touch the mysterious Nine Lives Stone. However, just as her fingers were about to touch the Nine Lives Stone, a strong force pushed her away, and she was thrown out of the passage, landing heavily on the floor of the hall.
Struggling to get up, she watched as the passage slowly closed, hiding the Nine Lives Stone once again in the mysterious passage.
She suddenly realized that to obtain the Nine Lives Stone, she would have to pay a higher price. She decided to return, search for more clues, and unravel the mystery of the Nine Lives Stone.
