Shen Huairu looked coldly at the lake. She was somewhat surprised and turned to look at her junior sister. "Junior sister, do you also think this is not a good thing?"
Nangong Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "Why should only our Heavenly Sword Sect have a spiritual vein that allows the Crimson Mark Fruit to mature quickly? Senior Sister, is that what you're worried about?"
“Junior Sister…you’re a bit different now. The you from before…” Shen Huairu hesitated, then remained silent for a moment, as if she had figured something out, before saying again, “Now that I think about it, Junior Sister was quite clever and witty when she was little. How could she have become more naive as she grew up?”
Nangong Ling'er smiled enigmatically, "Senior Sister, I'll take that as a compliment. But what do you plan to do with this spiritual vein?"
"I haven't decided yet."
"How about I give you an idea, junior sister?"
"Tell me about it!"
Nangong Ling'er smiled and said, "Establish a spirit-locking array to make this a forbidden area of our Heavenly Sword Sect, sealing the spiritual energy here and preventing it from leaking out. Disciples with good talent in the sect will have the opportunity to cultivate here, and perhaps a large number of experts will emerge. However... people are different from plants. Perfection is imperfect, and being too full is not a good thing. It still needs to be restricted. I am not only saying this to the disciples, but also to all the senior brothers and sisters. I know that the enemies the sect is facing now are very powerful. Not only you, senior sister, but also two senior brothers are anxious, but they just don't show it. Even if this lake can enhance spiritual power, the human body must be able to withstand it."
Shen Huairu looked coldly at the lake. A gentle breeze ruffled her white hair, and for a moment she was somewhat dazed. "If only there were no strife... I long to be able to cultivate and seek the Dao peacefully as before, but what have I been seeking the Dao for all this time?"
Nangong Ling'er frowned. "Senior sister, you changed the subject too quickly and suddenly. Don't think about it so much. It's best to stay alive."
At this moment, Shen Huairu changed the subject, "Isn't it a bit selfish to build a Spirit-Locking Array here? This is the source of spiritual energy in the world, and it shouldn't belong solely to my Heavenly Sword Sect. I vaguely recall that the inability to produce Dao Integration Realm cultivators in the world was related to spiritual veins, so..."
Nangong Ling'er slapped her forehead. "Senior Sister, I'm a little confused by this topic jumping around. But from my perspective, there's absolutely no problem with what you're saying. Let alone cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm, it's hard to find even cultivators at the Void Return Realm, except for the major sects. Is this because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is insufficient? Since our Heavenly Sword Sect has such a geographical advantage, and now is precisely the time when we need strength, we should concentrate all resources on the Heavenly Sword Sect. Is there any problem with that?"
"There's no problem now, but it might give people something to talk about later."
"We'll deal with the future later. This place is full of spiritual energy. I've thought of a way to heal Senior Brother Xiao."
Shen Huairu thought for a moment and asked again, "What exactly happened between Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Nephew Bai Yao? Why did things turn out like this today?"
"Senior...Senior Sister? Weren't we talking about treating Senior Brother Xiao? Why did we suddenly change the subject?" Nangong Ling'er was a little confused. Her senior sister wasn't like this before; now she always seemed absent-minded.
It felt as if she didn't see anyone else, only herself, saying whatever came to mind, and not caring what she was saying or doing at the moment.
But when Nangong Ling'er asked this question, Shen Huairu fell silent again, as if she would just stand there like an idiot if she didn't answer. Nangong Ling'er was a little helpless. "Senior Brother Xiao must have been targeted by the people of Tianmojian. Logically speaking, after Senior Brother Xiao was captured by them, they actually released him. If it was just for revenge or because they were on opposing sides, then Senior Brother shouldn't have had a chance to survive. I don't understand this point. As for Yao'er... Speaking of Yao'er, I want to know what you think, Senior Sister?"
Shen Huairu remained calm, her aloof expression revealing no emotional fluctuations. "What I think is unimportant, but I believe in my junior sister and I also believe in junior brother Xiao."
"No, senior sister, I want to know your thoughts."
Shen Huairu was taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing across her face, which gradually turned into confusion, and finally revealed a trace of pain. She seemed to be in some discomfort, but she didn't know why she was reacting this way.
