Before Lu Fuyue could speak, Yan Nanfei left again in an instant.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she became even more wary of Yan Nanfei.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Fuyue, it's me."
Lu Fuyue was taken aback, then got up, walked over, and pushed open the door. "Senior Sister Wen, what brings you here?"
With a flick of her wrist, Wen Shuya conjured up a jade box containing the sixth-grade spiritual plant, Evening Primrose, in her hand.
Upon seeing this, Lu Fuyue immediately understood her meaning.
She said, "Senior sister, the icy energy in your body needs this."
Wen Shuya handed the jade box in her hand to Lu Fuyue, "Senior sister knows that you are doing this for my own good, but evening primrose is a sixth-grade spiritual plant, which is extremely rare. Senior sister cannot accept it."
"Furthermore, you possess the Water Spirit Body, and evening primrose has similar attributes to you, making it more suitable."
Lu Fuyue did not take the jade box, but instead pushed it into Wen Shuya's arms.
“Senior sister, the value of spiritual plants lies in their ability to be used at the right time and in the place where they are most needed, not in their grade.”
Evening primrose is rare, but it's not very useful to me.
“But you are different. The icy energy in your body can be removed by it, so it can be used to its fullest effect on you.”
Wen Shuya was taken aback. After thinking for a long time, she took the jade box and said, "In that case, I will accept the gift."
"In the future, your senior sister will definitely find you a suitable spiritual plant."
Lu Fuyue smiled faintly, "Then I'll wait for Senior Sister's spiritual plants."
To be honest, the various high-level spiritual plants in her space were as numerous as weeds, and some of them had even become extinct in the current cultivation world.
If she weren't afraid of attracting attention, she could have stirred up a bloodbath in the cultivation world with just these things.
Wen Shuya suddenly remembered something and took out the recording stone from her storage ring.
"And this thing, now that things have been perfectly resolved, it's time to return it to you."
Although the photo stone is not a precious treasure, it is extremely rare.
That's why she asked Lu Fuyue for help when she realized that He Yuan and that woman were acting strangely.
...
The next day,
When Lu Fuyue arrived at the waterfall on the back mountain, Yan Nanfei had already been waiting there for a long time.
Hearing the noise, he turned to look at her, waving the jade fan in his hand and chuckling, "I thought you weren't coming."
Lu Fuyue remained expressionless and walked to his side. "With such dedicated teaching from my martial uncle, how could I dare not come?"
Yan Nanfei paused for a moment, then resumed his normal actions and continued, "Let's go, today's training isn't here."
Lu Fuyue's eyes narrowed slightly as she followed Yan Nanfei.
...
Fifteen minutes later,
Lu Fuyue looked at the cave dwelling before her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Isn't this... Ziyang Peak where the Ancestor resides?"
Yan Nanfei stood beside her. "Master wants to see you."
Lu Fuyue looked up at him in confusion, but Yan Nanfei didn't say anything more.
In fact, he didn't know why his master wanted to see Lu Fuyue.
However, he had some suspicions in his mind.
"Go inside, Master wants to see you alone."
At the same time, the cave door suddenly opened, and an old voice entered her ears, "Little girl, come in."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fuyue pursed her lips and then went inside. As soon as she entered, she saw an elderly man with white hair, exuding an aura of decay, sitting cross-legged on a palm-leaf fan on a stone bed.
Lu Fuyue bowed and greeted the old man, saying, "Disciple greets Ancestor."
However, he was puzzled by the aura emanating from the ancestor.
She remembered that there were still two hundred years until the ancestor's lifespan ended, so he shouldn't be like this.
The patriarch of the Tianxuan Sect opened his eyes and looked at her carefully for a long time. "She really is a Water Spirit Saint Body that is only seen once in ten thousand years."
"Our Heavenly Profound Sect is not destined to perish!"
Then a gentle spiritual force lifted Lu Fuyue's body, "Little girl, from now on, you don't need to bow to me."
Lu Fuyue rose up following the spiritual energy and nodded slightly, "Yes, Ancestor."
The patriarch of the Heavenly Profound Sect slowly spoke, "Do you know why I summoned you here?"
Lu Fuyue shook her head and didn't say anything. There were some things she could guess at in her heart, but she couldn't say them out loud.
The patriarch of the Tianxuan Sect sighed softly, "Little girl, I've summoned you here today for two things."
"The first thing is for the future of Tianxuan Sect; the second thing is for my good-for-nothing disciple."
Lu Fuyue stood quietly in front of him with her head slightly lowered, without saying a word.
After a long silence, she finally spoke, "Ancestor, are you referring to the ninth level of the Trial Tower?"
The patriarch of the Tianxuan Sect nodded, then raised his hand and channeled a stream of spiritual energy into the small gray sword mark on her wrist.
Instantly, a bright white light shone, and warm spiritual energy emanated from the mark on the gray scabbard, transforming into a gray thread that connected her wrist and heart meridian.
Lu Fuyue's expression changed slightly, and she looked up at him, "What does Ancestor mean by this?"
A complex emotion flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Profound Sect's patriarch before he slowly spoke, "Back then, your mother left behind this Reincarnation Sword with the hope that one day, when your body recovered, you would be able to form a contract with it."
"However, it seems that you now have a better contracted spiritual artifact, which is why the Samsara Sword has been relegated to your wrist."
Lu Fuyue felt a chill run down her spine. The Weak Water Zither she usually used had been sealed multiple times.
Very few people could see its true form. Even when she returned to hundreds of thousands of years ago, those Mahayana cultivators who were close to ascension could not see it.
The Reincarnation Sword itself is a spiritual weapon of extremely high grade. Even the ancestor's natal spiritual weapon may not be able to compare with it. Therefore, spiritual weapons of higher grade than it are even rarer.
Was the patriarch testing her, or had she misunderstood?
However, the patriarch of the Tianxuan Sect seemed to have just said it casually and didn't seem to mean it that way.
Everything seemed to suggest that Lu Fuyue was overthinking things, yet she still felt uneasy, as if the ancestor knew something.
"Your mission, those two old men in the Trial Tower should have told you about it, right?"
Lu Fuyue came to her senses and nodded slightly.
He looked at her and said, "Little girl, the Tianxuan Sect needs you to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years. Can you do it?"
Lu Fuyue paused, lowered her eyes, and said, "Ancestor should know that there have been almost no cultivators who have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage in recent years on the Qingyuan Continent."
"Moreover, I am only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. To think that I can break through two major realms in a hundred years is like a pipe dream."
The patriarch of the Tianxuan Sect shook his head. "With your Water Spirit Saint Body aptitude, plus the Trial Tower and the cultivation resources of the entire Tianxuan Sect, it is actually still possible."
