However, with her experience of having read almost the entire imperial study, she could not find out the inheritance of Luo Xue's master.
"Luo Huatian of Juexiao Sect," Luo Xue scratched the back of his head and said, "Well... you must have never heard of it. It's okay, it's probably..."
"Ah!" Before Luo Xue could finish, Dugu Xue exclaimed, "Sister Luo, are you from Juexiao Sect? Really?"
"... .ha?"
Luo Xue’s face froze.
Could it be that there is another sect with the same name here
"The sword-cultivating sect of the ancient times was completely cut off after the end of the ancient times. Legend has it that the disciples of the sect used to pass the test of passing through the world by breaking the Milky Way with a single sword..."
Dugu Xue read it out in a narrative tone and added,
"I saw them all in ancient books. Everything written in them was the same as in storybooks, so I memorized a lot of them."
Luo Xue was silent for a while. She realized that this Juexiao Sect seemed to be related to the Juexiao Sect she knew.
Ancient Times...
During this period of time, Luo Xue has heard this term more than once, and it has a deep connection with the cage world.
It is estimated that everything in the cage world is related to the ancient times.
What happened in the ancient times that led to the division of the Nine Provinces and Four Regions
"Sister Luo, are you..."
Dugu Xue covered her mouth as she thought of a terrible possibility.
Sister Luo, could it be that you are an old monster from the ancient times...
But even though she is an old monster, Sister Luo looks very young now, well, young anyway.
"This could be another misunderstanding."
Luo Xue said silently, she could tell what Dugu Xue was thinking at a glance.
She rubbed her brows and was thinking about how to explain when Dugu Xue sat up from her arms.
Xueling next to her supported Dugu Xue slightly, and she stood in front of Luo Xue with difficulty.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple."
Dugu Xue fell to her knees with a thud, and Luo Xue was so scared that she immediately went over to help her up.
Dugu Xue had just recovered from being tortured by the Withering Will and could not stand any more torture.
But Dugu Xue raised her hand to stop Luo Xue and said,
"Sister Luo, oh no... Master, I want to become your disciple and inherit your legacy. These are necessary etiquette, aren't they?"
"... yes."
Luo Xue's eyes flickered and she withdrew her hand.
Dugu Xue smiled slightly, and then respectfully performed the ritual of kneeling three times and kowtow nine times to Luo Xue, and finally said loudly again,
"Please Master... accept me as your disciple!"
The white-haired girl's expression was full of determination. This was the first time that Luo Xue saw Dugu Xue's eyes so determined.
"I agree," Luo Xue said softly, "From now on, Dugu Xue will join the Luohuatian lineage of Juexiao Sect and become my disciple."
"Master." Dugu Xue blinked and asked with a chuckle, "Am I considered the eldest disciple?"
"It's considered..."
Luo Xue said with a little hesitation.
It’s just that this eldest disciple really doesn’t have much value.
Now, it's time to confirm the previous conjecture.
Luo Xue passed the modified version of Xuanyin Huafeng Sutra, also known as Fengyin Sutra, to Xueling, and Xueling passed it to her through the induction with Dugu Xue.
The main reason is that Luo Xue does not have the inheritance jade slip in her hand, so she can only preach through such a cumbersome method.
After receiving the inheritance, Dugu Xue, at Luo Xue's urging, began to practice without stopping for a moment.
Since Dugu Xue had tried to practice before, it was easy for her to condense the first strand of spiritual power.
But this time, the withering will in her body did not erode the spiritual power, nor did it merge with it, but instead coexisted with the spiritual power.
If the Will of Withering is compared to a monster and the spiritual power is the little white rabbit, this time... the monster did not see the little white rabbit jumping under its feet.
It worked.
Dugu Xue opened her eyes in surprise. In fact, she didn't have much hope. Even her father, who owned the entire Great Qin Dynasty, couldn't find a Taoist inheritance that would allow her to practice. But her master's move was different.
"Master, I... Am I considered a cultivator now?"
Dugu Xue was so excited that she was a little incoherent. She felt the spiritual power flowing in her body, which was an experience she had never had before.
As the spiritual power passed through, the body that had been devastated by the withering will began to slowly heal itself, and the body that had been frozen for a long time seemed to be gradually thawed by this warm current.
However, Luo Xue saw another scene. Dugu Xue, who had just embarked on the path of immortality, leapt three levels in an instant, reaching the middle stage of the acquired realm.
I guess after one night, everyone will be ready to break through...
Thinking back to the past, I realized how much effort I had put in to advance to the innate realm. Comparing myself to others is really frustrating.
"Practice well, it will be good for your body."
Luo Xue rubbed Dugu Xue's hair. To this little princess who looked similar to her, although she was called a disciple, she actually looked more like a younger sister.
Dugu Xue nodded vigorously, sat cross-legged again, and planned to continue practicing.
"Oh, Xiao Dugu, I have to go out for a while and I probably won't be back for a while."
Luo Xue slapped her head and almost forgot about the important matter. She still had to go to Nangong Holy Land.
"You should practice the Feng Yin Manual first, and Xue Ling will help you protect the law. If you have any questions, just send me a message."
Xue Ling is a master in the Yuhua realm. As long as Luo Xue is not in the Imperial Palace or similar forbidden areas, she can send a message through her.
"Master, are you going to the Nangong family?" Dugu Xue asked.
Dugu Xue also knew the current location marked by Xue Ling, and had already seen the Nangong Holy Land not far away.
"Well, I do want to go there. There should be a secret realm of Jindan there. I want to give it a try." Luo Xue nodded, her old face slightly red.
As the master, I have only reached the peak of the foundation building stage. With Dugu Xue's talent, it probably won't be difficult to catch up with her.
If I can't even match my apprentice's cultivation by then, I will lose face...
Dugu Xue thought about it and signaled Xue Ling to take out something.
Xueling immediately took out a token and handed it to Luo Xue.
"This is... "
Luo Xue took the token and saw some Taoist text engraved on it. She even felt a burning sensation when she touched it.
"The clan token of Nangong Holy Land may be useful to Master." Dugu Xue smiled, "It was given to me by the Empress Dowager, who said that it is something that every prince and princess will get."
“Will there be identification?”
Luo Xue frowned slightly and asked.
The only thing is to prove the identity of the little princess...
"Master, don't worry, this is just a blank token," Dugu Xue shook her head and said, "Because I have never set foot on the immortal path, I can't leave a soul mark on it.
"Since Master is going to Nangong Holy Land, it will be much more convenient to do things with such a token."
"Wouldn't it be alarming if an unfamiliar Nangong clan member suddenly appeared with a token?" Luo Xue was cautious by nature, so she asked a few more questions.
“No, there are more than a hundred thousand Nangong clan members, how can they remember so many. As long as they have the token that imprints the person’s soul, even if we don’t recognize him, we can only regard him as some unknown collateral descendant.” Dugu Xue replied.
"If that's the case, it seems pretty good." Luo Xue accepted the token and said, "Thank you, little Dugu."
When Dugu Xue heard this, her face turned serious.
"Master, you should have the dignity of a master. At this time, you should say, 'Disciple, this matter is well done.' Saying thank you is too intimate!"
"ah"
Luo Xue opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
It was really because it was her first time as a master, and she was stunned by Dugu Xue's words.
It was not until she saw Dugu Xue covering her mouth and laughing that Luo Xue instantly realized that she had been tricked.
"You little girl..."
Luo Xue sighed and wanted to tap Dugu Xue’s little head with her fingers.
Dugu Xue stuck out her tongue mischievously, and then immediately began to practice seriously, leaving Luo Xue at a loss as to where to start.
After leaving the depressing imperial palace, Dugu Xue seemed to become a lot more lively.
That's fine...
Luo Xue's eyes softened a lot when she looked at Dugu Xue. She turned her head to look at Xue Ling again before turning around and flying towards the direction of Nangong Holy Land.
It was not until Luo Xue turned and left that Dugu Xue secretly opened her eyes and looked in the direction she left.
Dugu Xue supported her chin, squinted her eyes slightly, and a hint of happiness appeared on the corners of her mouth.
The morning light of dawn shines down, adding a touch of sacred glow to the earth.
"Xue Ling, you say, living like this... doesn't seem so bad?"
Chapter 176: Nangong Holy Land, Tiandan Secret Realm
"Good sister, please let me go!"
Nangong Mian, with a sad face, showed a pitiful expression and looked at a quiet woman with tears in his eyes.
The woman in white sat in a wheelchair with her eyes slightly closed, and ignored Nangong Mian.
"Look, I'm about to break through to the Jindan stage. You have to let me go to the Jindan secret realm within the clan, right?"
Nangong Mian said in a pleading tone, "My Sixth Uncle said that there are ten Heavenly Pill Qi in the Jindan Secret Realm this time, and I can only take two or three at most..."
"That's all?"
The woman in white opened her eyes, revealing a helpless expression.
"Xiao Mian, you have already consumed more than ten Dao Dan Qi, but you still haven't completed the legendary enlightenment and Dan formation. Even if our Nangong family is rich, we can't afford your torment."
Even within the Nangong clan, the energy of the Heavenly Pill is not something that can be obtained easily.
For a Jindan cultivator who uses Tiandan as his foundation, with the support of Nangong clan's resources, it is almost certain that he will enter the Shenhua realm, and there is a high chance that he will even reach the Yuhua realm.
This is already a force that cannot be underestimated. The backbone of the ancient clan are all in the Yuhua realm and Jiexian realm. The Duhai realm is the foundation of the clan and will not be easily dispatched.
Nangong Mian consumed ten Heavenly Pill Qis but still failed to form a pill. From the Nangong clan's perspective, they had lost ten potential Yuhua-level fighters.
But what Nangong Mian did... did not violate the clan rules of Nangong Holy Land.
She neither wasted the Heavenly Pill Qi intentionally nor sold it as merchandise. Instead, she refined it earnestly into her body, but did not form a pill.
But everyone knows that Nangong Mian is practicing the Desolate Great Destruction Sutra, which is a unique inheritance that can only be achieved through enlightenment to form a pill. No amount of heavenly pill energy will be of any use.
To Nangong Mian, the Heavenly Pill Qi that could not be used to form the Pill was just a more precious resource.
In this situation, only Nangong Mian's biological sister, Nangong Ling, can restrain her.
After all, Nangong Mian is fearless and apart from the Emperor and Empress, only Nangong Ling can control her. It would not be appropriate for anyone else to take action.
"More than ten... I have already wasted them all. Oh no, have I absorbed so much?"
When she heard this number, Nangong Mian was also shocked, as she had not counted carefully.
Nangong Ling glanced at her, closed his eyes again, and said softly,
"If I say no, it means no."
"Good sister..."
"It's not okay to call me good sister."
"Well, bad sister..."
