In midsummer, the mist blows across the fields.

Luo Lanxier sat barefoot by the fence, looking at the sea of ​​trees below, mottled with bright colors in the summer breeze. These trees were called "purple thick wood" by the locals. Their leaves were oval, small, and thin, showing a purple color. The color was lighter when they were young, and the color was darker when they were mature.

Compared with other trees with long and wide leaves, the leaves of the purple tung tree are not so smooth, feel softer to the touch, and the color is softer like frosted wood, which often makes people mistakenly think that these are not the leaves of a tree, but the leaves of some kind of flowers or plants.

The girl placed one arm on the wooden board of the fence, resting her chin on her arm, looking sideways at the wooden board in front of her, while her other hand gently stroked the surface.

The reddish-brown wood surface is very smooth, and it can be seen that these furniture are made by skilled craftsmen. The color of the paint is also relatively pure, with few bubbles, wrapping the fence, table top, wooden shelf, and wardrobe like dark amber.

This not only prevents wooden objects from corrosion and insect damage, but also creates a smooth and beautiful surface, protecting them from tiny splinters. It can be said that this is a skill and art that the people of this land have learned since ancient times. Furniture made in this way often lasts a long time and is loved by everyone.

After arriving at Zhaoye Palace, Loran Hill was invited and retained by the current master to settle down temporarily again. The place where she stayed was also on a mountain peak in Zhaoye Palace.

The wooden-plank-like building seems to be embedded in the mountain wall. Next to the hall is a wide window sill overlooking the forest and the sky. The many rooms in the house are also built around the mountain wall, like a suspended plank road, which is very unique.

This place is not far from the library of Zhaoye Palace and is relatively quiet, which is very popular with Loran Hill. Generally, no one comes to disturb her, so she prefers to sit by the fenced bed and read, listening to the sound of the wind occasionally blowing through the pages.

As a major sect, it has a rich collection of books. Not only are there books related to cultivation, but there are also many books that record local customs and legends. Some of them can even correspond to history. It is very interesting to see the looming historical trends and humanistic changes in them.

During the great battle in the Sunset Mountains and the miracle that finally occurred, Loran Hill accumulated enough essence magic power required for the advancement of the Undead Sequence, and now he has officially become a Undead Sequence 5.

Unexpectedly, the Undead Sequence came out on top and became his fastest progressing sequence. Loran Hill was secretly amazed.

It can only be said that it was due to her experience and environment. In the past year or two, she had come into contact with too many things related to the undead, so she had a lot of insights and naturally advanced quickly.

During her time at Zhaoye Palace, she had occasionally sparred with inner disciples (Sequence 5 Undead) and true disciples (Sequence 6 Undead). With her current strength, she could generally crush these inner disciples. However, facing one or two true disciples was fine, but with three or more, she would find it more difficult. Of course, this was when she didn't use any powers.

As for the demonic beasts and monsters from the outside world, according to the true disciples, dealing with a Sequence 7 demonic beast wouldn't be too difficult. After all, while demonic beasts advanced quickly, their foundations weren't as solid as humans'.

As for the existence of a Sequence 7, none had yet appeared within Zhaoye Palace. It was said that several true disciples were considering the possibility of achieving it, but they would still need two to three years of preparation. Within the Zhuori Xiangyu Sect, she had heard Senior Sister Jinhua say during their last conversation that she herself would likely achieve a breakthrough soon.

As expected of the future leader of the Xiangyu Sect, this senior sister's talent is extraordinary. It is estimated that she can be compared with the former Bumansha. Although neither of them is a witch, they are just inferior to witches. For other geniuses, they basically crush them.

Sorting out recent events in her mind, Loran Hill looked at the mountains and forests outside the window, all of which were shrouded in the fierce sunlight. Even though she was sitting in this cool place, she could feel the bursts of heat coming from them.

It was already August, and the weather was getting slightly cooler, but the summer breeze still lingered. After studying the classics and techniques of Zhaoye Palace, she had recently been reading some light reading to relax. However, the aftereffects of performing the Falling Star Miracle had not yet completely subsided, and she often wanted to go to bed, so the disciples of Zhaoye Palace generally did not come here to disturb her.

Unconsciously, he had become lazy again recently. Loran Hill leaned against the quiet window sill, listening to the cheerful chirping of cicadas outside, and couldn't help feeling sleepy again.

I want to sleep, huh...

The girl folded her arms on the window sill, lying on her side, resting her head on her arms. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, then slowly closed, and she began to breathe slowly.

In this quiet afternoon, gusts of summer breeze blew through the mountains and forests from time to time, and the girl's white gauze skirt was sometimes lifted up and sometimes fell down, revealing her white calves and feet underneath.

The other two birds in the room were quiet. A blue jay stood on a beam at the back of the room, eyes half closed, motionless. A plump goldfinches lay in a round wooden tray, letting the breeze blow their feathers. Perhaps it had forgotten that the tray beneath it was once used to hold seeds and nuts, but now it had become its sleeping place.

Unfortunately, little Loran often sleeps now and no one takes care of it. This goldfinch has become more and more bold, and often eats up all the snacks and fruits that Zhaoye Palace sends to Loran Hill.

Time passed slowly. While Loran Hill was communicating and studying in Zhaoye Palace, big and small things were happening in the world.

At the beginning of the year, the Qinglian Sword Washing Palace unveiled its current generation of Sword Master, Su Denglou. Approximately twenty-two years old, he had ascended to the seventh step and was designated the next Sword Master, the new head of the Qinglian Sword Washing Palace. It's worth noting that the Qinglian Sword Washing Palace has been ranked the world's foremost sword sect for 278 years, and each successive Sword Master has been a truly exceptional individual.
