The main group went ahead, followed by Zhu Yuanqing, Jingyuan and two elders. Only Nian Yida arrived the next day.
The plain clothes fluttered down, and the sharp sword energy almost merged with the person who came, and his skin felt like it was cut by a knife.
The weeds were forced to the ground by the overwhelming pressure. Jing Yuan subconsciously blocked Zhu Yuanqing's way, resisting with all his strength, his back straight and his feet motionless.
"Haha, you are quite filial." A cold female voice came, a sword went straight into the ground, and a tall female cultivator walked out.
"Uncle Master." Zhu Yuanqing did not stop Jing Yuan's actions. He recognized the person the moment the sword energy appeared and slowly pushed away the suppression around him.
The suppression from the Spirit Transformation Stage retreated as soon as Zhu Yuanqing touched it, obviously not intending to hurt anyone.
Jing Yuan had already been on full alert. Apart from the spiritual energy that was like a knife cutting him, he actually did not feel any sense of oppression. It was just that he was too familiar with Zhu Yuanqing and could tell that he was harmless based on some small movements.
But just in case, Jing Yuan still stood in front of Zhu Yuanqing, with the sword in his hand ready to be unsheathed at any time.
Nian glanced at Jing Yuan and nodded barely perceptibly. Then, his voice softened a bit, and he turned to Zhu Yuanqing: "Xiaoqing, it's been a while since we last met. Come here and let your uncle take a look at you."
Zhu Yuanqing patted Jing Yuan's back to comfort him, and said with a helpless smile: "Master has been in seclusion for many years, and his cultivation has greatly improved. How could he come out and scare my little disciple?"
There was a lot of intimacy in his words, and he was completely unaware of how the man in front of him was looking at Nian Yi warily. Even though his eyes and expression were restrained, his hand on the hilt of the sword never left.
Nian Yi Ren sneered inwardly and glanced at him with an ambiguous look, with a hint of melancholy about the impermanence of life. Then his expression became gloomy again: "Xiao Qing, you are so concerned about this disciple that you forgot to care about your uncle."
Back then, she was a pure and innocent little girl, following Nian Yi all day long, calling her "Uncle Master". She was soft and cute, not even as tall as the sword in her hand. She had a chubby face and looked so cute when she was serious.
Now, in the blink of an eye, the little dumpling has grown up. After not seeing him for many years, he no longer cares about his elder. Nian Yi is relieved and sad. Seeing him protecting his child, she becomes even more angry and glares at the bad boy with narrowed eyes.
Jing Yuan didn't move at all, blocking half of his master's body. His calm look made Nian Yi angry.
The little dumpling grew up to be a big ice cube, and the big ice cube raised a little ice cube. I don’t know how these two can get along with each other with cold faces every day.
One ice face against another ice face?
Nian turned his face to the side, feeling a little amused by the picture in his mind.
Zhu Yuanqing had no idea what was going on in Nian's mind. He only saw his uncle turn his head away after he finished speaking. He thought that he was hurt by him, and his heart was suddenly lifted.
Taking out a sword tassel from his storage ring, Zhu Yuanqing took two steps forward and handed it to his sad uncle, saying tenderly and guiltily, "Uncle, Shangqing hasn't seen you for a long time, so I was a little confused for a moment. This is the sword tassel I found in the Immortal City. It complements your Exorcist Sword perfectly."
He sighed slightly, "This thing is priceless. It's said to be the painstaking work of many formation masters. I was lucky enough to get it. I originally wanted to give it to my uncle as a gift for him to come out of seclusion, but if my uncle doesn't want it, I can give it to the sect master..."
"Who said I don't want it?" Nian Yi glared and quickly snatched the thing in his hand. When he raised his eyes, he saw Zhu Yuanqing's eyes that were trying to hold back his smile, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"That old man Lingxiao has so many good things, but he doesn't even give you some. How can he have the nerve to ask for things from a junior like you!"
After that, she threw a storage ring over and said, "This sword tassel looks good. I will accept it, uncle. I won't ask for it for nothing. I will give you everything in the storage ring."
"Oh, there are some skills in it, which are quite suitable for a little disciple like you. Consider it a gift from me."
As she said this, she glanced at Jing Yuan vaguely, her eyes half closed, exuding an intimidating aura.
Jing Yuan's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't feel the hostility of this powerful spirit-transforming being towards him at all. He bowed as a senior, neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you, Venerable Nian Yi."
"Hmph." Nian Yi waved his sleeves coldly, looked at Zhu Yuanqing with a little worry, and cast a spell on him so that he would be warned if he encountered any danger.
"Xiaoqing, I'm afraid things won't be peaceful after this. I'm going to take a look around. Please be careful."
Zhu Yuanqing just took a look at the ring. There were elixirs, weapons and skills in it. Most of them were top-grade, and many of them were very suitable for him.
This storage ring is made of the same material as the one Taoist Lingxiao gave him last time, but that one seems to have a restriction, so he can't open it for a while.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanqing concentrated and said seriously, "Master, take care."
The two Jindan elders who were completely ignored kept bowing and said, "Goodbye, Your Excellency."
Until Nian Yi disappeared, Zhu Yuanqing was still looking in the direction she left, his fists clenched, his face full of worry.
Jing Yuan rarely saw his master so uneasy. He walked forward and held his wrist: "Master, Nian Yi has been a Divine Transformation Master for many years. Even if he met another Divine Transformation Master, he would be able to fight. You don't need to worry so much."
Zhu Yuanqing shook his head, cutting off the two people's voices, and said in a deep voice: "Master uncle once said, if you don't break it, you can't get out."
This sentence is equivalent to being in seclusion. The breakthrough here naturally does not refer to breaking through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but refers to ascension.
If a person from the righteous path could ascend to heaven, the benefits would of course be obvious, but the problem is that Nian Yi has now come out of seclusion, so it seems that there is no hope for him to ascend.
From then on, the three righteous cultivators who had reached the Divine Transformation stage had no chance of ascending to higher realms...
Jing Yuan was smart and understood everything immediately. Although Zhu Yuanqing had not yet said it clearly, he couldn't help but think of more.
