"We're here." As soon as the Chaos Pearl stopped, Xiaoyu immediately notified Zhou Yuanyuan.
As Xiaoyu finished speaking, the "window" of the trial world reappeared.
"Master, I'm sorry! Zhuzhu made another mistake." Chaos Pearl's heart was in turmoil, fearing that Zhou Yuanyuan would dislike her. The teleportation array was too bumpy, and Chaos Pearl was so focused on grabbing Liu Jingyu's clothes that she forgot to send energy to maintain the "window", and the "window" of the trial world disappeared.
"Zhuzhu is quite clever. She's grown a hook on her head to hook people." Zhou Yuanyuan nearly burst out laughing at the Chaos Pearl's appearance. The Chaos Pearl, now with a hook, had forgotten to remain invisible and was bouncing around on Liu Jingyu's collar.
"The hook is not on the head, but on the butt! This person's clothes are smelly, Zhuzhu won't bite them with his mouth!" Chaos Zhu was praised by Zhou Yuanyuan and became a little complacent about his own "cleverness".
"Puff! Hahaha..." This time, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't hold back her laughter any longer. Chaos Pearl was completely round, and from Zhou Yuanyuan's perspective, there was no difference at all. It was incredible that Chaos Pearl could even distinguish its head from its butt.
Xiaoyu also smiled. While the Chaos Pearl was powerful, it actually had a very simple nature. Xiaoyu felt more at ease with it remaining with its master. However, Xiaoyu still promptly notified the Chaos Pearl to activate stealth mode. The spiritual energy here was incredibly rich. If Xiaoyu's guess was correct, this was already the territory of the Yushan Sect.
Sure enough, as Liu Jingyu walked, a few minutes later, Zhou Yuanyuan saw that the scenery "outside the window" had turned into a stretch of green mountains and green waters.
"Wow! Such rich spiritual energy! We're rich, Master, we're definitely rich now!" The Chaos Pearl chirped again. Compared to the secular world, the spiritual energy within the Langyuan Secret Realm was more than twice as rich. The Chaos Pearl knew its master's cultivation state, and spiritual energy swirled rapidly into Zhou Yuanyuan's body, like a "spiritual energy harvester."
In such a rich spiritual environment, the master's cultivation speed will definitely be several times faster. It and Boss Xiaoyu are blessed!
"Slurp~!" Chaos Pearl couldn't help but suck the saliva that was about to flow out.
Seeing the mountain gate in sight, Liu Jingyu reached out to adjust his hair and clothes, then leisurely walked over. In reality, Liu Jingyu's greatest wish was to fly on his sword. The sooner he could complete his mission, the more focused he could be on his cultivation. Unfortunately, there were restrictions outside the Yushan Sect's gate, prohibiting flying within a hundred meters. After teleporting from the secret realm's main gate, they appeared two kilometers outside the Yushan Sect's main gate. The cultivators had to walk every step of the way.
"Brother, you're back?"
As Liu Jingyu entered the mountain gate, a voice familiar to Zhou Yuanyuan rang out. Then, outside the window, she saw her old acquaintance, Wu Xiuyun, standing on the side of the road. Her clothes fluttered like a spring forsythia. If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't memorized Wu Xiuyun's voice from last time, she would have almost failed to recognize her.
Wu Xiuyun today looked very different from the one Zhou Yuanyuan had seen her in Kyoto. Back in Kyoto, she'd dressed in a blouse and trousers, exuding a modern air. Today, she wore a goose-yellow, wide-sleeved Hanfu (Chinese traditional clothing) made of rich, elegant material. Her hair was styled in a snake-like bun, accessorized with hairpins and rings, and accented with a jade pendant that held her skirt in place, giving her the look of an ancient court lady.
"Junior sister?" Liu Jingyu's eyes lit up upon seeing Wu Xiuyun. Taoist Lingyun had only three direct disciples, and Wu Xiuyun was the youngest, and also the most favored by Taoist Lingyun. Usually, Wu Xiuyun had more pills than she could finish, and sometimes she would share some with Liu Jingyu.
Seeing Wu Xiuyun secretly come to see him again, Liu Jingyu felt a little happy. He wondered what kind of elixir his junior sister would give him this time? The Soul-Enriching Pill or the Bigu Pill?
"Brother, I know you are out on business, so I came here specially to wait for you." Sure enough, what Wu Xiuyun said before was similar to what Liu Jingyu guessed.
"I wonder what my junior sister wants to talk to me about?" Liu Jingyu seemed a little disappointed when he saw that Wu Xiuyun didn't give him anything after she finished speaking, and spoke lazily.
"Brother, you know I..." Wu Xiuyun bit her lip, unsure whether to continue. Over the years, she believed she had expressed her feelings for Liu Jingyu, even willingly giving him such a precious elixir. However, Liu Jingyu's attitude remained ambiguous, and he never reciprocated her affection.
"Junior sister, the robes you are wearing today are so beautiful. You must have spent a lot of spirit stones on them, right? It's a pity that my pockets are empty and I can't afford to buy anything for you." Liu Jingyu quickly interrupted Wu Xiuyun and changed the subject.
Liu Jingyu has always known that his junior sister Wu Xiuyun likes him. However, before he is sure of his master's feelings, Liu Jingyu dare not accept his junior sister's "kindness".
"This is a gift from my master for my advancement to the middle stage of Qi training. I heard he spent ten low-grade spirit stones on it! It's engraved with defensive spells that can withstand a full-strength attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator!" Hearing Liu Jingyu praise the beauty of her robes, Wu Xiuyun's gloomy mood brightened slightly, and she quickly flaunted the preciousness of her robes. In the Yushan Sect, aside from Taoist Master Lingyun, no one else would be so generous as to bestow such a lavish advancement gift upon their disciples. Ten low-grade spirit stones could buy a whole heap of Soul-Enriching Pills.
Although Liu Jingyu was the second disciple of Taoist Lingyun, he actually had no status in front of Taoist Lingyun. Whenever Taoist Lingyun gave gifts to his three disciples, he always gave the best and most to Wu Xiuyun, followed by the eldest disciple Lin Yifeng.
Wu Xiuyun only remembered this after she finished showing off, and quickly made amends: "When you advance to the Great Perfection of Qi Training, Master will definitely give you a better gift."
"Senior brother is a grown man and doesn't need any gifts from the master. It's the junior sister who needs extra gifts from the master." Liu Jingyu had a smile on his face, but Zhou Yuanyuan heard something strange in it.
Liu Jingyu's tone wasn't jealousy? Was he sympathizing with Wu Xiuyun? Zhou Yuanyuan found it odd. Having seen Liu Jingyu and Chen Sanjiang interact, Zhou Yuanyuan knew Liu Jingyu wasn't exactly a generous person. Seeing his master value his junior sister more than himself, wouldn't Liu Jingyu be jealous?
"Brother, Master told me years ago that I could find a dual cultivation partner after I reached the middle stage of Qi training. Brother, you know how much I care about you..." Wu Xiuyun's heart was beating like a deer. Liu Jingyu was good-looking and always gentle. Wu Xiuyun had admired him since she first fell in love. Unfortunately, Liu Jingyu kept trying to put Wu Xiuyun off by saying he needed to concentrate on cultivation.
