Unlike the Chaos Orb, Xiaoyu can absorb everything in the world and transform it into Chaos Spiritual Energy. Xiaoyu, on the other hand, can only directly draw on the Spiritual Energy within the jade, and can only rely on Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual energy during her training. The stronger Zhou Yuanyuan becomes, the stronger Xiaoyu will become.
After tens of thousands of years of consumption, Xiaoyu's spiritual energy has been depleted to an astronomical figure. Unless Zhou Yuanyuan encounters some fortuitous encounter, Xiaoyu will never be able to recover to her peak condition in her lifetime.
"Ah? Is that so? It's okay, Xiaoyu. After we return to Kyoto, we will go to the north to find a jade mine so that you can replenish your energy." Zhou Yuanyuan didn't expect that Xiaoyu could not absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone. In Zhou Yuanyuan's understanding, Xiaoyu has always been an omnipotent existence.
Was she the one who had dragged Xiaoyu down? Zhou Yuanyuan's mind flashed back to the crumbling jade Xiaoyu had previously inhabited, and she felt a wave of heartache. If it hadn't been for saving her, would Xiaoyu have needed to drain all of her innate spiritual energy from her body? Without all of Xiaoyu's innate spiritual energy, her body was no better than an ordinary piece of jade.
Speaking of which, Xiaoyu really lost out by following such a useless master. Xiaoyu's previous master was a divine monarch! And she, Zhou Yuanyuan, didn't know how many years she could live in this life. Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"Master, thank you!" Xiaoyu was very touched. She was touched by Zhou Yuanyuan's family-like care for her.
Xiaoyu felt a little ashamed. Her master was so nice to her, but she was hiding something from him.
"Master, I..." Xiaoyu was about to tell Zhou Yuanyuan what she had guessed a few hours ago when there was a knock on the door.
“Knock knock knock…”
Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan looked at each other. They had just arrived at Jinping Peak for only ten minutes. Who could be looking for them?
"Peak Master, Peak Master..." Outside the door, Yuzhu listened attentively, but there was no movement. He raised his hand to knock on the door again with a bitter face.
"What's the matter?" Wen Ziqing's calm voice came from inside the door.
"Peak Master, I just received a message from Peak Master Yue of Piaomiao Peak, asking you to go to the main hall to discuss important matters." Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief when Wen Ziqing finally spoke. Ever since the old Peak Master's death, Wen Ziqing's temper had become erratic. First, he dismissed Wen Zhu, the Taoist child who had always served him, and then he transferred Wen Zhu, who was used to serving the old Peak Master, to his side. Honestly, Yuzhu was a little flattered by this!
But before the old Peak Master passed away, he specifically instructed Yuzhu to treat Wen Ziqing with the same respect as himself. Alas! Yuzhu was the only steward in the Yushan Sect who had served generations of Peak Masters. The others, like the "new emperor, new ministers," were like the "new emperor, new ministers." Yuzhu feared that if he continued to hold this position, he would be envied and resented, leading to a bad end.
"Go there and tell her that I want to meditate in seclusion." After giving the order, Wen Ziqing ignored Yuzhu who was chattering outside the door and followed Zhou Yuanyuan's footsteps back to the living room.
Wen Ziqing no longer wanted to get involved in the affairs of the Yushan Sect. Yue Zhenshan had chosen this time to have all the peak masters gather in the Sect Leader's Hall to discuss matters, surely to seize more power from the Sect Leader. Wen Ziqing had no desire to fight for power; after tonight, he and Zhou Yuanyuan would return to the secular world. In the Northern Military Region, Ouyang Xin was still covering for Wen Ziqing! Wen Ziqing had been "ill" before, but now that he was better, he couldn't just travel around with Zhou Yuanyuan and let others do his work for him.
Yuzhu called out a few times from outside the door, but didn't hear Wen Ziqing's response. Yuzhu had no choice but to follow Wen Ziqing's instructions and go to Xiaoyao Peak to attend the "Five Peaks Conference" initiated by Yue Zhenshan. When Wen Ziqing was away from the Yushan Sect, Yuzhu always attended these meetings in his place. However, Yuzhu's status was not high enough, so whenever there was a share of the benefits, Jinping Peak always received 30% to 40% less than the other peaks.
Fortunately, Wen Ziqing had never once asked Yuzhu for training resources. Yuzhu had carefully stored the sect's allocations for the past two months in the warehouse. Yuzhu had experienced the ruthless temper of Taoist Baopu, but the chief steward's professional ethics were impeccable.
Let's not talk about Yue Zhenshan and Li Yuanpei taking advantage of Ling Xiaotian's weakness to carve up Li Changqing's power. Let's just talk about Zhou Yuanyuan. Chaos Pearl had just finished eating two spirit stones in the trial world and was lying comfortably on the grass in the sun when an old voice rang out from above: "God, God."
A supreme god? Isn't this the Chaos Pearl's territory? Which immortal dares to come here? The Chaos Pearl soared up from the grass with a whoosh and looked around.
"God, I'm here." A voice came from above the Chaos Pearl.
The Chaos Pearl rose several feet higher before it saw a huge tree with a diameter of five meters standing not far from it. On the trunk of the tree was the face of an old man with a vicissitudes of life.
"Is it you, the old tree, who is speaking?" Chaos Pearl blinked and asked curiously.
"God, it is you I am calling." A deep smile spread across the old tree's face.
So the Supreme God was referring to him? Chaos Pearl suddenly understood.
"God, I have a favor to ask. Please help me." The old tree smiled. Over the past thousand years, the old tree had heard people mutter that when asking for help, one should smile, as this is the easiest way to get what one wants.
"Speak!" Chaos Pearl had just eaten, and was in a good mood because of the title of "God"!
"God, I would like to ask you to help me find Xiaoshu. I have something to say to her." The old tree continued to smile.
"Little tree? Who is it? No name? Do I know it?" Chaos Pearl was stunned. There were so many trees, big and small, in its trial world. How could it know which one the old tree was looking for?
"Yes, yes, the God must know Xiaoshu. Xiaoshu is the most powerful in our tribe. It only took her a thousand years to transform! A few days ago, the God and Xiaoshu walked under the old man's tree. I even heard the God call Xiaoshu 'Master'!" Old Tree's face was full of pride when he talked about Xiaoshu.
"Ah? So you, old man, are looking for my master." The Chaos Pearl understood. This old tree was the same osmanthus tree Zhou Yuan had seen when she first entered the garden for the trial. At that time, Zhou Yuanyuan's soul had been "planted" within a osmanthus seed. Relying on her knowledge of photosynthesis, Zhou Yuanyuan successfully passed the trial and became the Chaos Pearl's master.
"Yes, yes! Please give me some favor, God. I have something urgent to tell the little tree." The old osmanthus tree said with some concern.
"Okay, wait a moment." Chaos Pearl heard the urgency of the situation and didn't even bother to bask in the sun. It quickly flew out of the trial world.
