Nangong Mengxiang leaned on Luo Xue's back, the hot air from her breath blowing on her face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Master Junior..."
"Um."
"Tell me, Junior Uncle-Master, don't lie to me... Is Master dead?"
"... Um."
"Are you planning to tell me after you get to Fengyin Mountain..."
"Um... "
"Can you tell me about Master's situation? I think you should know a lot..."
Nangong Mengxiang murmured softly, she tried hard to open her eyes,
"Speak a little more, I think I'm about to fall asleep..."
The one she was facing was a sword cultivator from the Juexiao Sect who was in the middle stage of the Jindan period. If a cultivator of the same level was hit by such a sword, he would at least have his spirit destroyed, if not his soul shattered.
Being seriously injured and on the verge of death was already her limit.
"... good."
Luo Xue nodded slightly without much hesitation.
She told Nangong Mengxiang everything about the Fengyin Mountain conspiracy, except for the existence of Su Yiyao.
This is the first time she has spoken out about these things.
To Luo Xue's surprise, when Nangong Mengxiang learned that Master Fengyin was transformed into a Gu species by a foundation-building evil after his death, she was surprisingly calm.
But when she learned that her master's spirit appeared again and helped Luo Xue kill the evil foundation-building cultivator, she felt as if she were there herself and shed tears.
Nangong Mengxiang did not ask Luo Xuefeng how she escaped after the Yinshan conspiracy, nor did she ask her why she could survive in an environment filled with Yinxi poison.
She just murmured inaudibly, and her spirit gradually calmed down.
Then Luo Xue discovered that Nangong Mengxiang's body was slightly hot. After a sudden shock in her heart, she realized that her aura was changing rapidly.
"Enlightenment and Dan Dan!"
Luo Xue's pupils shrank slightly and she almost screamed out.
The so-called elixir formation is to integrate the spiritual sea and the spiritual orifice into one, and condense a small world within the body.
Generally speaking, the quality of the Jindan determines the strength of the small world, the cultivator's combat effectiveness, and how far he can go in the future.
There are three levels of elixir formation: man, earth, and sky, which are condensed with the Qi of ordinary spiritual veins, the Qi of deep earth veins, and the Qi of sky veins respectively.
Almost all Nascent Soul cultivators are at the Earth Core stage or above. A Ren Core cultivator can only reach the Nascent Soul stage when encountering a great opportunity. Even so, they are of the type with sufficient water content in the Nascent Soul stage.
Although Earth Dan monks are the second choice of the geniuses, they are still very precious, and not everyone can control the energy of the deep earth veins.
Often only people from large sects can get this opportunity, and only true geniuses can successfully form a pill using the energy from deep earth veins.
As for the energy of heavenly veins, it is hard to come by and can only be found in some ancient secret realms or immortal tombs.
The Tenmu Sword Tomb that is about to be opened is the Immortal Tomb. It is rumored to be the burial place of the remains of sword cultivators above the Yuhua realm.
But... in addition to the third-level Dan-forming method, there is also a more mysterious way of Dan-forming, which is the Dao-forming Dan-forming method.
Enlightenment and the formation of the elixir are extremely rare, so rare that even the Juexiao Sect only has one or two sentences recording it.
If Luo Xue had not previously searched through most of the records of Juexiao Sect in order to find some information, she would not have known about this.
The recorded enlightenment and formation of the elixir means that before forming the elixir, one has comprehended the laws of heaven and earth that only the Nascent Soul can touch, and can use this to condense a small world and form the elixir.
As for which one is stronger or weaker compared to Tiandan, there are too few records to be clear.
However, Nangong Mengxiang simply let go of the obsession she had held for hundreds of years, and she naturally formed the elixir through enlightenment.
This can only mean that Nangong Mengxiang had already met the conditions for enlightenment and forming the elixir, but there was still some obsession in her heart that kept her at the peak of the foundation-building stage.
After knowing that Nangong Mengxiang was fine, Luo Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
She calmed herself down, looked towards the west again, and frowned slightly.
"Keep heading west..."
"West, what exactly is that place?"
... ... .
The Witch of the Zither looked at Luo Xue with slight shock as she changed her direction and rushed towards an incredible location.
"Why is she walking in this direction... Does she know something?"
After analysis from all parties, Luo Xue's previous movements have become clear, and it is known that her destination should be the Nameless Swamp.
Among these people is the Witch of the Qin, and she even knows more than anyone else.
Because she knew that Nangong Mengxiang was a disciple of Fengyin Zhenren, and she was more aware of Luo Xue's true purpose. She should be planning to look for the remains of Fengyin Zhenren in the nameless swamp.
If this is true, then her identity is almost obvious.
Luo Xue is the person that Master Feng Yin has always wanted to find.
But now... she went against the expectations of the Witch of the Qin and changed direction without hesitation.
It was like suddenly getting some news.
But who told her this news
Nangong Mengxiang
No, not likely...
The Zither Demon Girl sighed softly and hesitated in her heart, not knowing whether she should show up or report to the Holy Lord first.
She looked at Luo Xue's back, and her gaze went further away, to the end.
I saw an endless sea of blood surging and swallowing everything. It seemed that nothing could escape from this strange and mysterious sea of blood. Only fear remained forever.
...Except Her Royal Highness the Saint.
Luo Xue’s destination should be the depths of this sea of blood.
It is also the place where Her Highness the Saint appeared.
"Perhaps, I already know why the Saint Lord agreed to bring her back." The Demon Lady Qin's expression was slightly gloomy. "Your Highness, how many things have you never told anyone..."
After much hesitation, she still passed the news to Su Yiyao, but soon cut off the communication stone with Su Yiyao to prevent Su Yiyao from messaging her.
Then, the Witch of the Zither left the place and no longer paid attention to Luo Xue.
... ...
Outside the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, a beautiful girl hurried to the ruins of the Evil Spirit Gate. It was the new puppet that Li Guijiao had hastily made.
All the previous puppets were destroyed in the final battle with the Evil Spirit Gate. After her consciousness returned to her body, Li Guijiao immediately used some inferior materials to make this innate puppet, intending to use the puppet to go to the battlefield to check the situation.
Li Guijiao was very clear that since all the people participating in the battle at that time were Jindan cultivators, even if she went there in person, it would not cause much change to the situation.
The only thing she could do was pray, praying that when she arrived at the battlefield, what she would see was not the tragically dead body of her junior sister.
But the strange thing was that Li Guijiao discovered that there were many more monks with different levels of cultivation around her along the way, and they all headed towards the direction of the Evil Spirit Gate.
"What's going on..."
Li Guijiao felt these auras and felt secretly frightened.
Not only were there cultivators in the Yinling Forbidden Area, there were also demon cultivators from the other three areas, and even Li Guijiao sensed the aura of several cultivators from the Immortal Realm among them.
Everyone was in a hurry, and when Li Guijiao took a quick glance, she could see the greed and eagerness in their eyes.
Li Guijiao suddenly had a bad feeling.
She continued to rush towards the Evil Spirit Gate, and when she finally arrived at the ruins of the Evil Spirit Gate, she found that the place was deserted.
The monks with higher levels of cultivation hurriedly passed by the ruins of the Evil Spirit Gate without even taking a look.
All that was left in the ruins were the collapsed formation and the unextinguished forest fire. Some young cultivators and mortals who had not even reached the innate level were risking their lives in the ruins to search for treasures.
When they saw Li Guijiao appear, many people were so scared that they fled in panic, mistakenly thinking that the disciples of the Evil Spirit Sect had returned.
Because Li Guijiao's current aura is at the innate realm, she can be compared with a general of a country in the mortal world, not to mention that she is so young.
"What exactly is going on?"
Li Guijiao ignored these young monks and mortals and continued walking deeper into the Evil Spirit Gate, arriving at the core of the formation with ease.
The completely burned refining formation was empty. The elixir she had refined before had been taken away. There were not many signs of fighting around, not to mention the body of her junior sister.
Seeing this, Li Guijiao breathed a sigh of relief.
She had done some tricks in refining the formation, and without special spells, it would be difficult to take it away unless the formation was forcibly destroyed.
But there were no signs of damage to the formation, which meant that it was Junior Sister who took the pills away.
This also means that at least the junior sister is safe now.
But... where is the junior sister now
Li Guijiao took out the communication stone and planned to send a message to Luo Xue.
But at this moment, a slender hand reached out and took away her communication stone lightly.
“Yo.”
Li Guijiao was horrified. She quickly took a few steps back and looked at the person who came in horror.
The other party actually avoided all his perception and appeared behind him silently.
If the other party had the intention to kill me and my real body was here, I would definitely die without a burial place.
“You, who are you?”
Li Guijiao looked at the newcomer with vigilance, ready to destroy her puppet at any time.
The person who came was a very beautiful woman. She leaned against the destroyed formation and played with the communication stone in her hand.
She was holding a gourd in her other hand, and her long, beautiful hair was tied up casually.
But this casualness brought her another kind of charm, with a kind of casual charm.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a good person... Oh no, I'm not a bad person, at least to you."
The woman smiled apologetically and threw the message stone back to Li Guijiao.
"Little guy, use this kind of communication stone less in the future. It is easy for people to locate you.
"Besides, why are you so afraid of me? It's just a crudely made puppet. If I destroy it, your loss won't be too great."
"Who...are you?"
Hearing this, Li Guijiao immediately became really nervous. She didn't expect that her puppet body could be seen through so easily.
Even the previous Jindan sword cultivators couldn't see through it...
It has to be said that Li Guijiao's skill in making puppets is quite exquisite. Ordinary cultivators without special means cannot really tell the difference between them and real people.
"Who am I, hehehe... little one, who do you think I am?"
The woman smiled cunningly, her narrowed eyes revealing some ill intentions, which scared Li Guijiao so much that she shrank back again.
Oh, could it be that he is a pervert
I heard that many high-level monks have strange habits, and quite a few of them are homosexual.
But she is just a puppet now, or she is equivalent to a minor in the mortal world...
"Alright, alright, you're really not funny, not as interesting as Xiaoxue." Seeing Li Guijiao's reaction, the woman curled her lips and said, "My name is Luo Huaxin, you should have heard of me."
"Luo Huaxin..." Li Guijiao repeated it, his eyes widened, "Junior Sister's mother?"
The news that Luo Xue was Luo Huaxin's illegitimate daughter was widely circulated in Juexiao Sect at that time, and Li Guijiao had of course heard about it as well.
"Yes, yes."
Hearing Li Guijiao say this, Luo Huaxin immediately smiled happily.
She embraced Li Guijiao openly, and the mellow aroma of alcohol immediately wafted towards Li Guijiao.
"You're quite sensible. Xiaoxue was right about you. You're just a little timid."
"Hmm..."
