The woman stopped playing hide-and-seek with Nangong Ziyan; the longer she stayed there, the greater the danger would be.
What do you mean by "I should be the person you're waiting for"?
Nangong Ziyan was surprised! It really was just as she had imagined.
"Here, I have something to give you."
With a flick of her sleeve, the woman released a green jade stone the size of an egg into Nangong Ziyan's hand. It was engraved with thunder and cloud patterns, and its cool touch made Nangong Ziyan feel very comfortable.
What is this?
Nangong Ziyan stared at the white-haired woman with puzzled eyes.
"It is a red scale, very spiritual. Only those with the purest spiritual energy can make it unleash its greatest power. You can use it to deal with people who cultivate evil mental techniques."
The woman lowered her head, her tone somewhat sad. Nangong Ziyan couldn't discern the emotions in her eyes, but she suddenly sensed that she was very sorrowful.
However, Nangong Ziyan's first thought was of Dongfang Yifei. Could this be another one left behind by someone to deal with those who cultivate the Demon Subduing Instantaneous Heart Technique? But Nangong Ziyan's words were soon proven true.
"This is a Crimson Scale that I painstakingly found and infused with my life's cultivation. Wutian left behind the Instant Demon Subduing Technique in the mortal realm. Any cultivator will experience a surge in spiritual energy and a significant increase in malevolent energy. When one reaches the eighth level, he can instantly absorb the cultivation of others. If you encounter him, you can use this Crimson Scale to subdue him. However, with your current cultivation level, you are unable to activate the power of the Crimson Scale."
"What good is that!"
Nangong Ziyan examined the red scale in her hand again, and it looked no different from ordinary jade!
"So you need to find a way to improve your cultivation level!"
The woman suddenly raised her voice.
"What is your relationship with Wutian?"
Nangong Ziyan suddenly asked, noticing that her mood had become melancholic only when Wutian was mentioned.
The white-haired woman stared at Nangong Ziyan, then said calmly, "You don't need to know what my relationship with him is. All you need to know is that if your cultivation doesn't reach the highest level, you won't be able to kill someone who cultivates the Demon Subduing Instantaneous Heart Technique."
"Then you've come to the wrong person. I'm not cut out for cultivation by nature, otherwise people wouldn't always say that your cultivation level is low."
Nangong Ziyan pursed her lips. She was really bad at cultivating spiritual energy.
"That's why I'm asking you to find a way to improve your cultivation level!"
Is there a shortcut?
Nangong Ziyan only wanted to know this one thing. Every person who cultivates spiritual energy achieves their results through tireless daily practice. She wanted to too! But she couldn't reach that level!
"Do you think it's possible? Your time is almost up. My task is to deliver this crimson scale to the destined person who has come here. Now that I've given it to you, I'll send you out!"
The woman was about to attack after she finished speaking.
"Wait a minute, we've known each other for a while now, let's at least get to know each other! Otherwise, you wouldn't even know who you gave the Crimson Scale to. My name is Nangong Ziyan, what's yours?"
Nangong Ziyan smiled brightly, determined to find out her identity somehow! Otherwise, her trip would have been in vain.
“Nangong Ziyan?” the woman murmured. “I don’t know Nangong Ziyan. I do know someone named Ling Ziyan. She seems to be the daughter of Senior Brother Wutian. I’ve never met her. I only thought of her when I heard your name. She had a bad life and died at a young age. I’m afraid her body has long since disappeared.”
Nangong Ziyan was somewhat astonished. What did she mean by saying that she had long since vanished without a trace? She had already lived two lives, and she was still wandering in the Spirit Realm. Shouldn't it be her who had vanished without a trace?
"Um... what's your relationship with Wutian? Also, you know Wutian has a disciple, right? Do you know his name? And..."
"What else? You've asked me so many questions at once, which one do you want me to answer first?"
The woman was getting impatient and her emotions were starting to get out of control. Her seemingly empty eyes were fixed on Nangong Ziyan with a mixture of anger and frustration.
