However, after Lu Fuyue finished her seclusion and adjusted her cultivation to the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage, she finally left the space.
Sometimes, being too sharp and assertive can only bring danger.
However, there's no need to hide your abilities too much, as that would only make you seem easy to bully.
The moment she opened the cave door and stepped out, a ray of warm sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto Lu Fuyue's face.
For a moment, it left one feeling somewhat dazed.
The sky in the underworld doesn't have such warm sunlight.
...
A moment later, Lu Fuyue had a thought and instantly transformed into a red lotus petal, disappearing from the spot and appearing in front of a cave.
However, just as she arrived, the cave door suddenly creaked open.
Lu Fuyue's eyes widened slightly, and she was about to say something when a familiar voice entered her ears, "Come in."
It seems that Master has emerged from seclusion.
Upon entering the cave, the candles on the candlesticks on both sides lit up immediately, making everything inside the cave clearly visible.
Elder Dan sat cross-legged on the stone bed, his hands resting naturally on his knees. When he saw his only disciple come back to life and walk towards him step by step, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back safely."
But the next second, he immediately sensed the aura of a peak mid-Nascent Soul cultivator emanating from his disciple. His heart trembled, and his pupils suddenly contracted. "Fuyue, you've cultivated to the peak mid-Nascent Soul stage?"
You should know that your own disciple has been cultivating for less than a hundred years.
Even he himself took one or two hundred years to cultivate to this level.
Lu Fuyue nodded silently, then walked up to Elder Dan, bowed to him, and said, word by word, "Master, your disciple has returned."
It had been decades since she last saw her master. Although these decades were just a blink of an eye for cultivators, they felt like a lifetime to her.
Elder Dan forcibly suppressed the emotions that had just been revealed due to shock, raised his hand and released a wisp of spiritual energy to lift up the disciple who was bowing in greeting, and sighed, "Now that you're back, you should rest for a while."
He could naturally see that his disciple had encountered many extraordinary events, and that he had become more composed and aloof, indicating that he must have experienced quite a lot.
However, Lu Fuyue did not move. She stood there in silence for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: "Master, do you still remember the Mind-Nourishing Pill you once mentioned to me?"
Elder Dan's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he abruptly sat up from the stone bed. "What did you say? The Mind-Nourishing Pill?"
"You suddenly brought it up; have you seen it somewhere before?"
Throughout the entire Qingyuan Continent, only members of the Dan family are capable of refining the Spirit Nourishing Pill, because the Spirit Nourishing Pill is one of the pill formulas passed down directly through the Dan family lineage.
Seeing this, Lu Fuyue roughly understood what was going on. She shook her head and said, "I have never seen him, but I have only heard people mention him."
Elder Dan's tense body relaxed. He let out a deep breath and sat down again. As his disciple, there were some things she should know.
"The Spirit Nourishing Pill is one of the pill formulas that our alchemy family never reveals to outsiders. Only a direct descendant of the alchemy family can refine it."
Lu Fuyue's eyes flickered slightly. The Dan family?
She had never heard of any alchemy family in the cultivation world, but her master's origins were so mysterious, and his cultivation and alchemy skills were also extraordinary. She must think that the alchemy family must be a legendary reclusive alchemy family.
Elder Dan recovered his senses and, seeing Lu Fuyue's appearance, naturally realized what she was thinking. He slowly said, "Originally, I didn't plan to talk to you about these things for the time being, but given your current cultivation speed and... your mother's identity, I'm afraid you will soon come into contact with that place."
"There are some things you should know."
Elder Dan sighed, his expression gradually becoming somewhat dazed, as if recalling some past events. "I come from a place called the Immortal Realm. There, Nascent Soul cultivators are extremely common, Tribulation Transcending stage cultivators are barely considered strong, and there are quite a few Out-of-Body stage cultivators as well. Only those approaching the Ascension stage are considered top experts."
"Actually, not only me, but your mother should also have come from that place."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fuyue's gaze immediately fell on Elder Dan's face, and her hands hanging at her sides tightened involuntarily. "Master, is everything you said true?"
She had never heard her mother mention this before.
Elder Dan nodded. "Your mother carries the aura of the Feng family, which is one of the cultivation families in the Immortal Realm. In terms of status, it is even a step above the Dan family. However, in recent years, the number of younger generations in the Feng family has been decreasing, with only a very few outstanding geniuses. As a result, their strength has been declining day by day."
Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. "Then do you know why my mother came to this place?"
Could it be... really because of Lu Zhengming?
Elder Dan's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said, "This is exactly what I'm wondering about. Although I haven't seen your mother in the Immortal Realm, judging from her aura, she should be a direct descendant of the Feng family."
"Logically, her Daoist partner should have been chosen from the day she was born, but for some reason she came to the cultivation world where spiritual energy is extremely scarce, and even became your father's Daoist partner."
"But what puzzles me most is that your mother didn't seem to truly love your father, which is why she became his Daoist partner."
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips. Ever since she could remember, her mother and Lu Zhengming seemed to be extremely cold towards each other, not at all like a Daoist couple, and the two rarely lived together.
When she was a child, Lu Zhengming almost never visited her when she was sick. She even doubted whether she was Lu Zhengming's biological father. But her mother touched her head very seriously and told her that Lu Zhengming was her biological father.
Her thoughts gradually returned, and Lu Fuyue looked up at Elder Dan, "Master, in your opinion, what kind of person is my mother?"
Elder Dan was taken aback, then came to his senses and thought for a moment, “Your mother’s cultivation is no less than mine, and may even be stronger than mine.”
"I've heard that before she became your father's Daoist partner, she was exceptionally talented and had remarkable cultivation. In fact, very few people in the entire Tianxuan Sect could defeat her. But since she became the sect leader's Daoist partner, she has gradually faded from everyone's sight."
"It wasn't until you came into her life that she started to reappear in front of everyone."
“At that time, it was predicted that you would not live past the age of sixteen from the moment you were born. Your mother refused to believe this fact and went alone to various ancient powerful realms to search for treasures that could save you, but unfortunately she searched for a long time without finding anything.”
"In the end, however, he perished because he took a blow for your father."
