Qi Yu looked in the direction of the sound.
Bai Huan, dressed in a light blue dress and holding a strange-looking object, ran towards Qi Yu with a big smile.
Qi Yu smiled unconsciously and said, "I came back to take care of some things."
"Oh, oh!" Bai Huan didn't suspect anything and continued to smile cheerfully.
She shook the massage artifact in her hand, which resembled an arm and had been tormenting her for a long time without being completed, and said, "I'm planning to ask my master how to perfect this artifact."
Qi Yu blinked and said, "Hmm... your master probably doesn't have time to ask you questions right now."
Bai Huan's master is the Venerable Zhi Chou, who recently gouged out his own eyes.
Even if the eyes can be healed, it will probably take a long time to fully recover.
Furthermore, although with Qi Yu, a powerful figure in the Tribulation Transcending stage, around, Venerable Zhichou would certainly not dare to neglect Bai Huan, who is Qi Yu's friend, she was still somewhat uneasy.
Bai Huan didn't quite understand what Qi Yu meant and said, "Is my master injured? I heard from some of my senior brothers and sisters that the battle in the forbidden area seems to be very intense."
Qi Yu replied evasively, "It is indeed quite intense. How about this, I'll speak to Venerable Poyue, and you can ask him directly if you have any questions."
Bai Huan's eyes widened, and she asked, "Really?"
Although Venerable Poyue had an eccentric temper, her strength was genuine. Although Venerable Zhichou took her as his disciple, he only taught her some techniques in the beginning and then left her to fend for herself. Whenever she wanted to ask questions, Venerable Zhichou would always dismiss her with a few words.
Therefore, she has not even been able to finish a small massage tool.
If we could seek guidance from Venerable Poyue, that would be the best outcome.
Without saying a word, Qi Yu took Bai Huan back to Venerable Poyue's cave.
At this moment, Venerable Poyue had already begun to refine the "Merit Box". Seeing that Qi Yu had returned with another person, he asked in confusion, "Does the Immortal Venerable have any more questions?"
Upon hearing the words "Immortal Venerable," Bai Huan's eyes widened like copper bells, and he stared at Qi Yu with trembling eyes. "Immortal... Immortal Venerable?"
Did she hear that right?!
Could it be that Venerable Broken Moon misspoke?
Was he just calling Xiaoyan'er "Immortal Venerable"?
Bai Huan searched around and found no other outsiders besides herself and Qi Yu.
Venerable Poyue stood up, nodded respectfully, and greeted, "Venerable Jade Immortal."
This confirms Qi Yu's identity as an "Immortal Venerable".
Bai Huan stared at Qi Yu as if she had seen a ghost, as if she wanted to see through her.
Seeing her so surprised, Qi Yu chuckled and said, "Your reaction is a bit exaggerated."
She pointed at Bai Huan and said, “Venerable One, I have another request. Bai Huan previously studied under Venerable Zhi Chou, but due to certain reasons of Venerable Zhi Chou, she did not receive proper guidance. Therefore, I would like to ask you to teach her a little.”
Venerable Poyue glanced at Bai Huan, then at the strange-looking magical artifact in Bai Huan's hand, and asked, "What is this?"
Bai Huan was still concerned about Qi Yu's dramatic change in identity, and stammered as she replied, "Yes, it's a magical tool I wanted to make for massage, but it's not finished yet."
Venerable Poyue took the magical artifact, touched and tapped it, and then began to instruct Bai Huan on how to modify it.
Qi Yu stood to the side listening, feeling somewhat like she was watching her own child attend a tutoring class.
After a long while, Bai Huan suddenly realized what was happening and held up the magic weapon, thanking everyone profusely, "Thank you, Venerable One! Thank you, Venerable One! I understand now! It's like a sudden enlightenment!"
Venerable Poyue nodded and said, "Without sufficient experience, it is easy to overlook these details. If you still have any questions later, you can ask me."
As he spoke, he took his communication jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Bai Huan.
Bai Huan was pleasantly surprised and took out his own communication jade scroll to exchange contact information with Venerable Poyue.
Seeing that Bai Huan's problem had been resolved, Qi Yu said, "Thank you, Venerable One. We'll take our leave now."
Even after leaving the cave, Bai Huan was still fiddling with her magical artifact.
After a while, she remembered that she had almost forgotten to ask the "Immortal Venerable" what exactly was going on.
"Little Yan'er, tell me honestly, what level of cultivation are you at now!"
Qi Yu's aura was well concealed, and she didn't notice anything amiss at all.
"Ahem, Tribulation Transcending Stage." Qi Yu coughed lightly and added, "Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcending Stage."
Bai Huan gasped, almost choking on her breath.
She coughed a few times, clutching her neck, and muttered, "Tribulation stage... Tribulation stage..."
"My God! Little Yan'er, you're just one step away from ascending to immortality!"
Yes, Hua Liu had asked her about the conditions for passing the level, so she specifically controlled the flow of her cultivation.
Each minor realm in the Tribulation Transcending stage requires hundreds of years to make any progress.
By keeping her at the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending stage, Qi Yu would not only avoid taking up too much of her time, but also avoid immediately ascending to immortality, thus preventing her from dealing with the remaining matters on the Boundless Continent.
He was very considerate, just like he had taken care of her when she was a child.
Qi Yu said, "Don't worry, I won't ascend to heaven on the spot, but you should cherish the time you can see me."
Although she made a joke, there was little smile in her eyes.
Bai Huan had already imagined many reasons why Qi Yu's cultivation level had increased so rapidly, such as great opportunities and the true teachings of powerful beings at the bottom of the cliff, but seeing her expression, she stopped asking.
She opened her arms, squinted her eyes, and smiled, saying, "Then let's hug one first, cherish the moment!"
Qi Yu looked at her, a smile playing on his lips, and hugged her. "You promised, you have to finish making this massager for me before I ascend to immortality."
