Although the idea was tempting, Xiang Sheng did not temper his body to confirm his speculation.
Firstly, she had just broken through and her foundation was not stable yet, so it was not suitable for her to enter the state of enlightenment in a short period of time; secondly, she had other things to do and could not stay in the underworld for too long.
“Master!”
"Master, what are you doing on the roof?"
Two voices rang out from below the room.
Xiang Sheng lowered her eyes and saw Gong Yao and her brother looking up at her in front of the house.
The one who was called "Master" was naturally Gong Yao, but Gong Changming's "Master" was earned by himself after he followed in his sister's footsteps and begged for it.
Gong Changming's aptitude for cultivation was far inferior to that of his sister, but fortunately he was born with some divine power, so she gave him a method of cultivation and reluctantly accepted him as a semi-disciple.
Gong Changming immediately smiled happily and had been calling "Master" and "Master" non-stop since last night.
If Gong Yao hadn't been suppressing him, this kid would have been so proud that he would have flown to the sky.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng smiled slightly and flew down from the roof: "Is everything done?"
"Um!"
Gong Yao nodded: "It's all done, the priest will be here later."
"Okay, let's go in and wait."
After a while, Xiang Sheng and Gong Yao sat down in the house, and Gong Changming served them tea and water.
Just as he filled the third cup, the old priest walked into the room with a hunched back. He took two or three steps to Xiang Sheng and said solemnly:
"I would like to thank Miss Xiang for her generosity in saving Gongjia Village from disaster!"
After saying this, the old priest knelt down and worshiped.
Xiang Sheng raised his hand slightly and spoke gently, "Old Priest, there's no need to be so polite. Since I've accepted Gong Yao... and Gong Changming as my disciples, I naturally won't sit idly by and watch them in their plight."
The old priest felt an invisible force blocking his knees, and he could not bow any further. He could only sit down and said:
"I heard from Yao'er that Miss Xiang wants to join the Demon Heaven Palace as soon as possible?"
"good."
Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed: "Old priest, do you have any ideas?"
She talked about this with Gong Yao last night, but Gong Yao was absorbed in cultivation and knew very little about the Demonic Palace.
She only knew that there was a way to join the Demonic Heaven Palace in the Demonic Heaven City, but she didn't know what the specific way was.
If you want to know more, you have to ask the old priest.
The old priest didn't know why Xiang Sheng wanted to join the Demon Heaven Palace, so he tactfully didn't ask any more questions. After pondering for a moment, he said:
“If Miss Xiang wants to join the Demon Heaven Palace, status is secondary.
The people in the Underworld are scattered and in chaos, and the Demon Heaven Palace only looks at strength when recruiting people, regardless of background.
However, the secret method to clear the Yin Qi can no longer be used."
Xiang Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly: "You mean... only those who are desperate will choose to join the Demon Heaven Palace?"
The old priest nodded gently: "Most of the time, the Demon Heaven Palace has been doing evil and doing all sorts of bad things, and the people of the Underworld have long hated them.
Those who practice cultivation with a righteous mind would rather establish a tribe outside the city than be involved in its corruption.
My Gongjia Village was originally a tribe. Unfortunately, it suffered disaster and fell into decline.
Xiang Sheng nodded: "This is not difficult to do."
As long as she doesn't use any secret methods and absorbs the power of heaven and earth, the Yin energy in her body will soon be replenished.
The old priest knew that she had made up her mind, so he did not ask any more questions and continued:
“After the young lady arrives at the Demon Heaven City, she will look for a place called the Holy Pavilion, which is where the Demon Heaven Palace specifically recruits independent cultivators.
I don't know the content of the test, so you can only rely on yourself to figure it out."
The old priest said this, then thought of something and added, "Oh, there is one more thing.
"Miss, when you arrive at the Demon Heaven City, please remember to change the name of 'Demon Heaven Palace' to 'Holy Heaven Palace', otherwise you will be expelled from the city at best, or even lose your life!"
"I've made a note of that."
Xiang Sheng smiled and clasped his fists: "Thank you, old priest, for clearing up my doubts."
"Thank you for being polite, young lady."
The old priest chuckled, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Although the Demonic Palace does not ask about the origins of practitioners, if something goes wrong, someone will definitely track down this woman.
The cultivators' methods of investigation are hard to guard against. If Gongjia Village is implicated, it will be in danger of collapse...
But he could only keep these worries in his heart and was too embarrassed to speak them out.
After all, this Miss Xiang saved Gong Yao and gave her martial arts skills, which was a great favor to the entire Gongjia Village.
If Gongjia Village is unwilling to take even this little risk, wouldn't it be considered ungrateful?
He sighed inwardly, collected his thoughts, and was about to get up and say goodbye when he heard Xiang Sheng suddenly speak:
"Old Priest, would your village mind moving to a new place?"
As soon as these words came out, the old priest's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked knowingly: "Miss Xiang...what do you mean by this?"
Xiang Sheng smiled meaningfully, and without revealing his thoughts, replied:
“To be honest, I’m afraid I’ll cause quite a stir when I go to the Demon Heaven Palace this time.
Although I have never been to any other place except this village.
But nothing is absolute, and there is no guarantee that someone will not find out about this.
By then, both my two new disciples and you will be in danger.
I am not strong enough to protect all of you by myself, so it is best to move away from this place."
The old priest didn't expect Xiang Sheng to actually consider them. His expression was moved. Just as he was about to respond, Gong Yao spoke before him:
“Master, you can move!
Since our Gong family fell into decline, survival has been difficult and we have moved several times.
Even in this valley, we've only been here about twenty years, so we don't feel reluctant to leave."
"Sister is right!"
Gong Changming echoed, "I've heard from the villagers that moving is very hard, but for Master, I'm willing to endure this hardship!"
The old priest listened and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
These two silly kids, one was only six years old and the other was not even born twenty years ago, had no idea how dangerous moving was.
However, no matter how young Gong Yao is, she is the high priestess and the clan leader of the Gong family.
When the clan leader speaks, no one dares to disobey?
Moreover, ever since Gong Yao came back from Gu Lu and distributed the skills, his reputation has already surpassed his own.
She said that even without giving any reason, the villagers would definitely move.
The matter was settled, the old priest sighed secretly, and could only settle for the next best thing, saying:
"Miss Xiang, time is running out. I'm afraid we in Gongjia Village won't be able to find a suitable place to relocate to soon. Could you please help me find one?"
"I do have an idea about where to move."
Xiang Sheng said in a normal tone, "I wonder if you, old priest, know anything about the Demon Sea?"
"The Demonic Sea of Xizhou?" The old priest was shocked.
Gong Yao and her brother were curious.
"Demon Sea Rift?"
"What is that place?"
Xiang Sheng seemed not to notice the shock on the old priest's face, and explained to his two disciples with a smile:
"The Demonic Rift Sea is in Xizhou, near a space rift that exists year-round in the Underworld.
Because it's the junction of the two worlds, a considerable portion of the area is in a buffer zone, with very little Yin energy."
When Gong Yao heard the words "very little Yin energy", her eyes lit up immediately. Before she could agree, the old priest suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice:
"I know Miss Xiang has good intentions, but that place is extremely dangerous and not a suitable place to live. Let's forget it."
