Bai Zhanying murmured.
... ...
"Oh, it's you!"
Luo Xue was suddenly at a loss, her eyes slightly dodging.
"No, this isn't the right reaction a reincarnated demon cultivator should have when encountering a fairyland cultivator," Luo Huaxin's narrow and long beautiful eyes revealed a hint of ridicule, "Shouldn't he yell 'fairyland running dog' and spit on my face?"
"Reverend Luohua, please stop joking with me."
Luo Xue said with a wry smile.
"You know it's a joke. You're smarter than Xiao Yingying."
Luo Huaxin stretched out her slender fingers, gently scratched the tip of Luo Xue's nose, and then sat down beside her, without caring about her image at all.
Only then did Luo Xue notice that the wine gourd that Luo Huaxin had always held in her hand was now hanging obediently around her waist, and there was rarely any smell of alcohol on her body.
You know, the eldest sister mentioned that every time her master appeared, he would be accompanied by the smell of wine, without exception.
Luo Huaxin seemed to notice Luo Xue's doubts and smiled gently.
"What? It's rare for me to wake up for you. Are you unhappy?" Luo Huaxin imitated Luo Xue's appearance, hugged her knees with her hands, but tilted her head and smiled at her, "And... I almost forgot how you called me last time, why did you change your name this time?"
"When something like this happens..."
Luo Xue hesitated for a moment. She avoided Luo Huaxin's gaze and buried her head in her knees.
"What's the matter? Did you practice a magic cultivation method?" Luo Huaxin shrugged, "But the method of stealing the sky and changing the day that I taught you is also a side door and an evil cultivation method.
"Besides, why do you think I taught you the art of stealing the day?"
Hearing this, Luo Xue was silent for a while, and tentatively replied,
"Is it because of my calamity poison body?"
Luo Huaxin shook her head and said,
"There are many ways to embark on the path of cultivation with a poisonous body. Let's not talk about swallowing poisonous things to increase cultivation, there is also the path of medicine.
“I wonder if you have ever heard that ‘all medicines are three parts poison’, and vice versa, ‘all poisons are three parts medicine’.
"Only the Juexiao Sect, which uses swords to enter the Dao, would have such extreme ideas. With your physique, I'm afraid that no matter whether it's Changchun Pavilion or Zhenbao Tower, you'll be fighting for it..."
As he spoke, Luo Huaxin suddenly stared at Luo Xue for a long time, then touched his chin.
"Ah, maybe Xun Fangzong is interested in you as well... just not physically."
"Um?"
Luo Xue was slightly stunned.
"They only accept women, and they're called the Lily Sect... Ahem, I won't say any more."
Luo Huaxin's expression was strange for a moment, and she immediately changed the topic.
"In short, the reason why I gave you the ability to steal the sky and change the day is because I know that you have cultivated some Taoist skills, but even I can't figure out where the inheritance came from."
This inheritance can only be practiced with the essence and blood of a true phoenix... who can tell that
Luo Xue has already looked up the information and found that there is no martial arts technique that requires the use of the essence and blood of this kind of ancient extinct beast to practice.
The inheritance that is somewhat similar to the Xuanyin Huafeng Sutra may be the Mingfeng inheritance.
... The problem is that the inheritance of the Dark Phoenix does not require essence and blood, but it has extremely stringent requirements on physical fitness, and it has been discontinued for a long time.
Speaking of this, Luo Xue still has another question.
"But if that's the case, why didn't Senior Sister send me directly to Changchun Pavilion or Zhenbao Tower to practice?"
Luo Xue asked.
"Silly child, your senior sister is also from the Juexiao Sect."
Luo Huaxin sighed and gently stroked Luo Xue's hair. At this moment, she looked a bit like a mother.
“The so-called entry into the path of medicine is actually to improve the path of poison from another perspective… In other words, in the eyes of the Juexiao Sect, there is no difference between the two, both are evil cultivation.
"As the oldest sect in the fairyland... and the most conservative sect, the Juexiao Sect is incompatible with all evil ways. Xiao Yingying accepts your practice of stealing the heavens and changing the day, which is considered by her to be a great rebellion."
I understand. The incomplete path to immortality is the absolute evil path.
... Could it be that all the members of Juexiao Sect are such crazy people
But Luo Xue was still a little confused, and asked again,
"But you?"
"I'm not from the Juexiao Sect, I'm just a figurehead." Luo Huaxin spread her hands and said, "The previous Luohuatian Peak Master was my good sister, she just entrusted it to me before she died in battle.
"...Also, she is Xiao Yingying's biological mother."
It was from Luo Huaxin's light narration that Luo Xue learned about the life experience of her senior sister.
The former leader of Luohuatian Peak and the only daughter of the real Luohua Venerable Bai Qiulin.
That year, the Juexiao Sect encountered a rebellion that had not been seen in ten thousand years, and even two supreme elders in the God Transformation Realm were involved.
Venerable Luohua Bai Qiulin was in a secret realm where he was in conflict with the Moyuan Sect at the time, and was killed by a conspiracy against his fellow sect members.
The Bai family, an aristocratic family of immortal cultivation that she had single-handedly supported, was the first to bear the brunt of the rebellion and was almost wiped out. Only Bai Zhanying was saved by Luo Huaxin.
Luo Huaxin is a casual cultivator, but he is one of the very few who is praised as having the potential to become a god. He has a very deep friendship with Bai Qiulin.
Therefore, after the rebellion ended, Zou Junxin, the leader of Juexiao Sect, invited Luo Huaxin to temporarily serve as the leader of Luohuatian Peak... Although he was a hands-off boss, his strength was real after all.
"I don't know much about the rebellion back then. If you want to ask, I don't know either." Luo Huaxin laughed and said, "This is all I can tell you."
"Actually, I have one last question..."
Luo Xue raised her head slightly, and looked at Luo Huaxin calmly with her clear eyes.
"Why are you so special to me?"
From Zou Junxin's attitude, it can be seen that he is unaware of Luo Huaxin's concern for him, otherwise he would not have made such an arrangement so easily.
"Is there any need to explain? Because you are my daughter," Luo Huaxin laughed and patted Luo Xue on the back. "Do I need a reason to be good to my daughter?"
"Can... "
Luo Xue looked hesitant, she didn't understand.
Chapter 65: Immortal Kneeling
"Who do you think picked you up?" Luo Huaxin raised her eyebrows, "If Xiao Yingying picked you up, your name should be Bai Xue.
"It's just that it's inconvenient for me to come forward, so she can only raise it on my behalf."
"Why?"
Luo Xue couldn't help but ask another question.
"Little kid, stop asking so many questions."
Luo Huaxin flicked Luo Xue's head.
"Of course it's because my identity is too embarrassing. Although Juexiao Sect followed Sister Bai's dying instructions and temporarily handed Luohuatian over to me until Xiao Yingying grows up.
“But, I am an outsider after all, and the Juexiao Sect has just experienced a rebellion that severely damaged its vitality. No matter what, they don’t want me to exert too much influence on Luohuatian to prevent a second rebellion.
"I was actually happy to have some free time, so I just became a hands-off boss. Especially when Xiao Yingying was able to take charge on her own, I basically stopped showing up in Luohuatian.
"Although picking you up was an accident, we are destined to be together," Luo Huaxin moved her face closer to Luo Xue, and pointed upwards, "Look, no matter how you look at us, we are mother and daughter!"
A faint scent of incense lingered around Luo Xue's nose. She looked up and saw the reflections of two people slowly emerging in the dark river in the dungeon.
The white-haired little girl with a slightly sad look between her brows and the lazy woman who always has a sly smile in her eyes, somehow there is an indescribable harmony between them.
"So... should I still call you mother?"
Luo Xue felt her left eyelid twitching uncontrollably.
"I think it's excellent."
Luo Huaxin nodded seriously.
Luo Xue finally developed a certain degree of dependence on Luo Huaxin like a mother, but with just a nod, it seemed to disappear.
"...Are you here to take me away from Juexiao Sect?"
Luo Xue held it in for a long time but still couldn't say "mother".
"Ah, no." Luo Huaxin felt a little embarrassed, "I can't take you away... To be honest, I may have more enemies than Juexiao Sect..."
The reason why Luo Huaxin always asked Bai Zhanying to take care of Luo Xue was, firstly, her identity was embarrassing, and secondly, it was... dangerous.
With Luo Huaxin's personality, it is common for her to make enemies with others, and even she herself is often in trouble.
Not to mention the Fairyland and the Demonic Abyss, even in the ancient demon land, there are several terrifying beings who hate her to the core.
Once she leaves Juexiao Sect, there will be too many eyes staring at her, ready to attack her.
If Luo Xue, whose cultivation level is barely enough to survive, were to go with her, she would probably be dead within a few days.
"But I did come to save you." Luo Huaxin finally took out the wine gourd from her waist, "Look, in order to save you, I didn't even bring the fairy wine with me. All I brought was..."
As soon as the wine gourd was opened, a horrible aura emanated from it.
Its taste has an alluring fragrance that tempts people to drink it.
However, the wisps of smoke that were emitted inadvertently actually corroded several holes in the walls of the dungeon.
"What are you pretending to be?"
Luo Xue was startled and stepped back.
"It's poisonous. It's known as one of the ten most bizarre poisons in the Immortal Realm. It's called 'Immortal Kowtow'. Even an immortal would kowtow after drinking it!"
Luo Huaxin carefully closed the lid again and handed it to Luo Xue.
"It's for you."
"Give it to... me?" Luo Xue took the wine gourd blankly, "Do you want me to poison someone?"
"Stupid, this is for your practice."
Luo Huaxin tapped Luo Xue's forehead again.
"After I examined your body that night, I gave up the idea of letting you take the medicine route.
"So in order to help you improve your cultivation, I went to Changchun Pavilion to get some poisons - and I even paid a lot of favors for this."
In fact, it was stolen. How could such a highly poisonous substance be leaked out at will? The so-called favor was just a unilateral agreement from Luo Huaxin.
This is Luo Huaxin's style of doing things, which is why she has made so many enemies.
"... ..."
When Luo Xue heard this, her face was filled with horror.
This is different from the Yin Qi poison. Although the Yin Qi poison is also highly toxic, it is essentially extremely concentrated Yin Qi.
Many physiques can transform the poison of Yin Breath, such as the Xuan Yin physique - in fact, it should be called the Zhi Yin physique. It cannot be said to be a powerful physique for practicing Taoism, it can only be said to be a little special.
"Don't look at me like that. The Evil Poison Body can improve its cultivation by taking poison, and it can also enhance the poison power of its own constitution."
Luo Huaxin waved her hand and said, "Don't listen to the nonsense that those old antiques from Juexiao Sect say about poisoning all living beings. These sword cultivators all have some problems in their brains.
"He talked about a lot of so-called principles about good and evil, and he even confused himself."
After saying that, Luo Huaxin stood up and brushed off the dust on her skirt.
"Anyway, I have nothing more to say. I have opened the dungeon door for you. It is up to you how to proceed from now on."
Petals fell from somewhere and drifted away gently.
The extremely beautiful woman stretched lazily, moaned softly, looked back at Luo Xue and smiled faintly.
The next moment, the petals fell and the beautiful figure disappeared.
Luo Xue looked at this scene and her expression gradually softened.
She lowered her head slightly and murmured softly,
"Thank you... Mom."
