"Young Master, please forgive me." Su Shaxuan's white figure in mid-air was like a blooming snow lotus, pure, beautiful, and noble.

Now rolled up like a dumpling, Ye Xiruo couldn't even appreciate the sights anymore; she had almost killed herself again. She absolutely couldn't be so impulsive in the future.

Su Shaxuan quickly brought Ye Xiruo to the ground. With a thought, the white silk cloth seemed to come alive and disappeared. Ye Xiruo moved her body and sincerely thanked Su Shaxuan: "Thank you, senior."

“Master has gone into seclusion and placed you in the Holy Land to protect you. How could you come down here so rashly? The Holy Land is shrouded in restrictions that suppress one’s spiritual power and true energy. The minimum cultivation level required for sword control is Nascent Soul.”

"So that's how it is. I thought my sword control had deteriorated." As Ye Xiruo spoke, a sword flew straight down and stuck into the ground in front of her, almost hitting her foot.

Ye Xiruo's pupils contracted. Good heavens, how dangerous!

“If it’s not your natal spirit weapon, it won’t be very smooth to use for sword control. Of course, if your cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it doesn’t matter. In the future, before you reach the Nascent Soul stage, it’s better for you to use a flying magic weapon.”

"I've learned a lot. Senior Brother Yingxun has a white crane with graceful posture and fast speed. It's a pity that I'm not so lucky to encounter such a good flying spirit pet."

"Flying spirit pets are rare and hard to come by, but I believe that with the young master's luck, there is still a good chance that he will be able to obtain one."

"Then I'll take your kind words, senior."

“You can call me Senior Sister Su Sha.”

"OK."

"Why did you come down so quickly? Is there something you need?"

"I would like to observe the swordsmanship of Saintess Peak. My senior brother once said that even alchemists must have a heart that is courageous and fearless, and practicing swordsmanship is the best choice."

Su Shaxuan nodded: "Perfect timing. Everyone is practicing basic swordsmanship in the square. I'll give you the sword manual and mental cultivation method."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Su Sha. Please rest assured, I will absolutely not tell anyone."

"I trust my master's judgment."

Soon, the two arrived at the training ground. Ye Xiruo had already memorized the sword techniques and mental cultivation methods, and now, looking at the disciples' sword techniques, she began to ponder them.

"Watch closely, I'll demonstrate it for you."

Su Shaxuan's sword was not fast, but every move was full of unique charm, and she seemed to be born for this sword technique. Ye Xiruo quickly became immersed in its wonderful artistic conception.

The disciples in the training ground were also very excited. They never expected that Senior Sister Su Sha would perform it again today. They were so happy.

Ye Xiruo took the sword and began to slowly practice. At first, her movements were very stiff, and she couldn't even do a single movement correctly. But gradually, she grasped the essence of each sword move. Although the sword moves were still incomplete, she had completely mastered the essence. It was only a matter of time before she mastered them.

Su Shaxuan had not expected Ye Xiruo to have such high comprehension. After finishing one round, he sensed that Ye Xiruo had entered a special cultivation state, so he did not stop and continued to practice.

The disciples in the training ground were overjoyed. Senior Sister Su Sha had actually started practicing again. It seemed that this sword technique must be very important. They must practice it well and not let Senior Sister Su Sha's hard work go to waste.

It was truly a beautiful misunderstanding, but whatever Su Shaxuan's original intentions, the outcome was good. Su Shaxuan practiced it three times before stopping. Ye Xiruo had already grasped the core of the sword technique; it was only a matter of time before she succeeded.

"congratulations."

Ye Xiruo felt that time had passed in the blink of an eye, but she did not expect that so much time had passed. After learning that Su Shaxuan had sent the disciples away, she felt even more guilty.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Su Sha."

"You have excellent comprehension. Even if you don't become an alchemist, you can still become an outstanding swordsman."

"I have no sword heart; I practice swordsmanship only for self-defense."

"It's a real pity that the world has lost another swordsmanship prodigy."

Ye Xiruo took out a bottle of Three-Pattern Cleansing Pills from her ring: "This is a small token of my gratitude. I hope you won't find it offensive, Senior Sister."

"Thank you." This Three-Pattern Clear Spirit Pill is the best pill she can use at this stage. Taking one is equivalent to a month of hard training.

"I only hope that Senior Sister Su Sha can become the top of the Heavenly Ranking."

"I will."

Ye Xiruo and Su Shaxuan hit it off immediately, quickly becoming close friends. Unlike the aloof Yi Ruowu, Su Shaxuan lived freely and unrestrainedly. This was freedom of the soul, unbound by anything external. Similarly, Su Shaxuan was proud and confident, believing that this pride and confidence would remain unchanged even when she encountered Zishu and Xiu Qiyu. Her cultivation was solely for becoming stronger; encountering formidable opponents only excited her and motivated her to cultivate even harder, without harboring any jealousy.

Of course, with Su Shaxuan's talent, he is a top genius in the entire Taiyan Continent. If nothing unexpected happens, he will surely ascend within a thousand years.

Compared to Su Shaxuan, Yi Ruowu, the most beautiful woman in the world who was surrounded by ethereal beauty and was incomparably holy, seemed like a mannequin wearing a mask. I wonder if she has developed depression after pretending to be a fairy for so many years.

What are you grinning about?

After exchanging their insights on swordsmanship, the two ate together. Like Ye Xiruo, Su Shaxuan, although she had long since abstained from grains, still ate on time every day.

This brought the two of them even closer together.

"Do you know why Master planted that patch of snow bamboo?" Su Shaxuan asked mysteriously at the dinner table.

"Isn't it to appreciate the graceful posture and integrity of the snow bamboo?"

"Vulgar. Can you get full just by looking at bamboo?"

Ye Xiruo shook his head honestly.

"That bamboo grove is definitely for eating. Stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat tastes good, right? Cold bamboo shoot salad is also delicious! And the bamboo rice has a great texture!"

Ye Xi stared in disbelief. So the Holy Maiden really did raise that whole patch of snow bamboo just to eat it! At night, those glowing snow bamboos were truly beautiful; why didn't anyone appreciate them?

It turns out that the seemingly sacred Mount Saintess is getting further and further away from my imagination. But thinking about it, the people living here are all human beings. Even gods have emotions and desires, let alone humans.

"Those flowers and plants are meant to be appreciated, aren't they?"

"No, those are ingredients for making seasonings, although they look pretty too."

Ye Xiruo silently took a sip of soup, digesting this huge amount of information. Could it be that the Holy Maiden is also a foodie?

"This is why the snow mountain is considered a forbidden area." If the disciples found out, Saintess Peak would be in an uproar.
