Su Lenghe said in a cold tone, "I am not your sister."
He insisted, "You are my sister."
Not wanting to waste time on pointless arguments, Su Lenghe stopped arguing and closed her eyes to cultivate.
Su Lenghe didn't know when her junior brother left; all she knew was that it was the second to last time she saw him.
"Master Su, may I try to draw it?" Xie Qiongshan interrupted Su Lenghe's recollection.
"Can."
If Xie Qiongshan learns these skills, she can strengthen the Xuanmen sect and fulfill her wish to strengthen the Xuanmen sect in her previous life.
With Su Lenghe's approval, Xie Qiongshan closed his eyes, concentrated, and focused his spiritual energy.
He concentrated all his spiritual energy into the tip of the brush and slowly began to write.
At first, Xie Qiongshan didn't feel anything, but as the pen tip was turned, he felt it becoming more and more difficult.
With each step he took, a bit of his spiritual energy was consumed.
By the time he had finished two-thirds of the painting, his spiritual energy was completely depleted.
A fine layer of sweat beaded on his forehead.
The pen stopped, and Xie Qiongshan gasped for air with his mouth wide open; he no longer had the spiritual power to continue drawing.
However, having already drawn so much, he was truly unwilling to give up.
Yuan Gan adjusted his spiritual power and injected it into Xie Qiongshan's body.
The talisman, which had exhausted all of their spiritual power, was finally completed.
Xie Qiongshan quickly stuck the talisman on Rong Yan's other pocket.
Rong Yan: ?
Xie Tianlin picked up the cup from the table and put it in, but it vanished the instant it touched his pocket.
He immediately put it into the second cup.
The cup, however, did not disappear.
Rong Yan reached into his pocket: "It's full."
From the outside, his pockets looked flat and without any bulges.
Rong Yan himself did not feel any increase in weight, but when he put his hand in his pocket, he could clearly feel the cold touch of the cup.
Xie Qiongshan was somewhat disappointed: "I really am far from good enough."
Su Lenghe comforted him, "If you cultivate for another two hundred years, you should be able to do it easily."
Two hundred years, wouldn't that be considered a centenarian?
Xie Qiongshan and the others were unaware that in their previous lives, members of the Xuanmen sect could easily live to be two or three hundred years old.
However, we are now in the Dharma-ending Age, and living to be over a hundred years old is considered a long life.
Just like her, she didn't have many days left to live before, but after absorbing Rong Ce's purple energy, her lifespan was slightly longer.
Xie Tianlin couldn't bear to see his master looking disappointed, so he changed the subject, saying, "Master, let's look at the Jade Spirit Sword first."
Xie Qiongshan snapped out of his reverie: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot."
Su Lenghe found the Jade Spirit Sword and handed it over.
Xie Qiongshan held the Jade Spirit Sword in both hands, his eyes reflecting the golden light emanating from the sword.
Rong Yan was a mortal before, and could not see many things. This time, he clearly saw the light of the Azure Spirit Sword.
The Azure Spirit Sword was no longer made of wood; it was crystal clear and radiated a dazzling light.
Xie Qiongshan and Yuan Gan exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
"This... is not the Azure Spirit Sword."
The curious Rong Yan couldn't help but ask, "The people from Qingfeng Temple were so sure that this was the Jade Spirit Sword, why are you saying it isn't?"
Xie Qiongshan explained, "I've seen the Jade Spirit Sword before; it has a notch here."
He pointed to the broken part of the sword: "And the Jade Spirit Sword is already destroyed."
The Jade Spirit Sword was originally the most prized treasure of the Jade Void Temple, but it was coveted by the people of the Qingfeng Temple.
They sent their disciples, disguised as ordinary tourists, to infiltrate the Jade Void Temple.
On a dark and stormy night, they sneaked into the room of the former abbot, Master Huaqing, injured him, and tried to steal the Biling Sword.
Fearing that the Jade Spirit Sword would fall into the hands of villains, Hua Qing used his last bit of strength to destroy it.
Afterwards, Hua Qing's room was destroyed by fire, and everyone was engulfed in the flames.
Rong Yan asked curiously, "Since the person is dead, how do you know?"
"Naturally, it is a result derived through deduction."
Rong Yan suddenly realized that his master hadn't taught him this technique yet, so it was normal that he hadn't heard of it.
Yuan Gan lamented, "Back then, Yuxu Temple had quite a few believers, but unfortunately, Huaqing died at the hands of bandits, and since then, Yuxu Temple has gradually declined..."
Rong Yan continued, "If this sword isn't the Azure Spirit Sword, then what kind of sword is it?"
Xie Tianlin explained, "This is the Qingming Sword, which is said to have been wielded by an immortal. The Biling Sword is a replica made by later generations."
Rong Yan couldn't help but take a second look. This treasure sounded like it had quite a background, barely worthy of his master.
After chatting for a while, Yuan Gan's phone rang, saying there was news from Qingfeng Temple.
After hanging up the phone, he said goodbye to everyone and left with Xie Tianlin.
After the person had walked away, Xie Qiongshan suddenly whispered, "Miss Su, I wonder if you would be interested in joining the Xuanqing Temple?"
Su Lenghe shook her head: "I have no interest in becoming an apprentice."
She didn't say the rest: no one in this world could be her master, and even in her past life, she was the number one person in the Xuanmen sect.
Xie Qiongshan realized the other party had misunderstood and explained, "It's not about making you a disciple, but about making you the abbot."
Su Lenghe narrowed her eyes slightly, a glint of light flashing in them, and she suddenly realized.
Although Xie Qiongshan is still vigorous despite his age, he is, after all, a centenarian. How many more years does he have left to live?
Xie Tianlin is young, and although he is considered outstanding among his peers, he still has a lot of room for growth.
Now the other side is facing the evil sect of Qingfeng Temple. Xie Qiongshan is afraid that he cannot protect the people in the temple, so he wants to ask Su Lenghe for help.
Once Su Lenghe becomes the abbot, she will be able to protect the disciples of Xuanqing Temple.
Su Lenghe shook her head slightly: "I will protect the kind-hearted people of the Xuanmen sect, but I will waive the position of abbot."
