Chaoxia Peak is Wei Qinghe's residence, just as it was five years ago.
"Qinghe, now that you're back, you're not leaving again, are you?"
Upon returning to Chaoxia Peak, the Grand Elder couldn't wait to ask, his kind eyes revealing clear expectation and restraint.
Back then, Wei Qinghe told him that if she was happy, she might not come back; but if she was unhappy, she would immediately come back to inherit her parents' mantle.
Wei Qinghe is back now.
Wei Qinghe had no intention of hiding it from the Grand Elder. Given the nature of the Sect Master's wife, even if she wanted to, the Southern Maple Sect would twist the truth.
"I'm not leaving. I've already divorced Dai Xingyu..."
The Grand Elder was momentarily taken aback, but this seemed like something Wei Qinghe would do.
There must be a reason for everything, and when he spoke again, his tone inevitably carried anger, "What did Dai Xingyu do to offend you?"
He watched the girl grow up, he knew her too well. She had already divorced her husband, so naturally it must be because Dai Xingyu had done something unforgivable.
"I raised Nanfeng Sect for five years and refined pills for the sect leader's wife for five years. Now that Dai Xingyu has returned from Qingjian Sect, he is going to marry Liuli Zhenjun of Qingjian Sect."
"Getting married is one thing, but they even want me to give them my dowry as betrothal gifts! They even want to take away the Nine-Leaf Snow Lotus and Heavenly Spider Silk that my grandmother left me!"
The elder was furious and with a wave of his hand, the carefully selected stone table turned to dust.
"How could there be such a shameless person in the world! I opposed your marriage down to that man from the beginning. You are a cultivation genius; you deserve a better future!"
The elder grew increasingly angry as he spoke, wishing he could immediately go to the Nanfeng Sect and wipe out the Dai family mother and son.
"What is the Azure Sword Sect anyway? It doesn't even deserve to compete with you for people. The Dai family mother and son are really deceitful. They gave up such a great treasure as you and insisted on choosing a True Monarch who was built up by the sect's resources."
Then Wei Qinghe continued, "I was unwilling to give a dowry, and the sect leader's wife even wanted to divorce me, threatened me, and tried to kill me to seize my things! How could I tolerate this? I taught them a small lesson."
In fact, Wei Qinghe knew before she returned that the Grand Elder would be furious when he found out, and no normal person would do such a thing.
"Elder, please don't be angry. Now that I've returned, I will shoulder my responsibilities."
The Grand Elder was filled with mixed emotions. He was furious at the shamelessness of Dai Xingyu and his mother, but also relieved that Wei Qinghe had finally seen the error of her ways.
"Qinghe, it's best that you're like this, but don't worry, I won't let anything like that happen to you. I'll protect you with my old life."
“I knew it, the Grand Elder will always love me.” Wei Qinghe said, then took out a Qiankun bag and handed it to the Grand Elder. “These are the pills I’ve made in my spare time over the past few years.”
If that day ever comes, she will not sacrifice the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder was slightly taken aback. He had also been seriously injured in the Demonic Sect and needed to take medicine to recuperate.
Before Wei Qinghe got married, she gave him a lot of pills, which he still hasn't finished. Now Wei Qinghe is giving him so many more. It seems that even after getting married, Wei Qinghe is still thinking about him.
His initial anger subsided considerably. "The purity of your top-grade pills is getting higher and higher. It seems you've refined quite a few pills in the past few years."
That's right, Wei Qinghe is a rare top-grade alchemist.
“I plan to participate in the upcoming Sword Cultivation Competition. The Spirit Sect has been keeping a low profile for too long.” After saying this, Wei Qinghe raised her hand, and a white jade longsword appeared.
The sword light flashed, showing that even the swords no longer wanted to remain silent.
Looking at the bright and cheerful girl before him, the elder's eyes welled up with tears.
"Very well, very well. My Spirit Sect has indeed kept a low profile for too long, which has led to the current chaos in the immortal sects."
"By the way, the First Sword Cultivator, Daoist Fuyue, asked me about you a while ago..." The First Elder hesitated before continuing.
In fact, he had high hopes for Fuyue Daozun and Wei Qinghe from the beginning, but Wei Qinghe's grandmother, on the grounds that she hoped Wei Qinghe would live a carefree life, made her marry Dai Xingyu, that blind fool.
"Why is he asking me about me? Does he want to challenge me to a sword duel?" Wei Qinghe was a straightforward woman and didn't think much of it.
The elder's expression was a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Actually, I also want to know who is better at swordsmanship among you. Of course, I naturally favor you the most, little girl."
After saying that, he took out a box from his Qiankun bag. "This was left to you by your grandfather. He asked me to find the right time to give it to you, and I think now is the best time."
Wei Qinghe was quite surprised, as she did not know that her grandfather had left something for the Grand Elder.
And it was still up to the Grand Elder to decide when to give it to her.
She nervously opened the box, which contained many things, the top of which was a cultivation manual—the Heavenly Origin Ice Condensation Technique!
There was also a whip, imbued with powerful spiritual energy that swirled around its body like the wind. And a bright red bracelet, seemingly containing the power of fire element.
The rest are all kinds of rare and precious natural materials.
"Qinghe, work hard, the future of the Spirit Sect is in your hands..."
After the elder finished speaking earnestly, he left without looking back.
As he stepped out of the courtyard, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he gazed into the void before suddenly smiling.
“Old friend, I have fulfilled your request. Don’t worry, if that day really comes, I will not let her go down that path.”
Looking at her grandfather's belongings, Wei Qinghe first put on the fiery bracelet, instantly feeling her spiritual power replenished.
Then he grasped the whip named Wind Spirit, "Grandfather, I will work hard to carry forward the Spirit Sect."
The Wind Spirit Whip glowed faintly in her hand, as if it had accepted her as its master, or perhaps it had always been waiting for her as its master.
The Heavenly Origin Ice Condensation Technique is a multi-faceted cultivation method that includes eighteen kinds of spiritual artifacts.
As long as Wei Qinghe has sufficient ability, she will be able to cultivate all eighteen techniques of the Heavenly Origin Ice Condensation Technique simultaneously.
Once these eighteen techniques are cultivated to a certain level, one can unleash the power of ice elements even without an ice spiritual root.
Wei Qinghe took the cultivation manual and began to study and practice it carefully.
...
Nanfeng Sect.
The patriarch's wife's wails echoed throughout the inner courtyard. Her front teeth were missing, her lips were swollen and red, and she looked even more ferocious and terrifying.
She only received two light lashes and lost one hand, but she acted as if she had just returned from the battlefield of the Demonic Sect.
"Are you all useless? You can't even heal this minor injury. Quickly bring me the top-grade Bone-Regenerating Pill and the top-grade Blood-Coagulating Pill."
The disciple of Nanfeng Sect looked troubled. "We've run out of top-grade pills. Young master... Wei Qinghe hasn't had time to prepare any."
The sect leader's wife reacted like a firecracker the moment she heard Wei Qinghe's name. "That little bitch is truly vicious. It's bad enough that she became a discarded woman, but she even tried to cut off our Nanfeng Sect's path. Not only did she take away some disciples, but she also took away life-saving and healing pills. She's shameless."
