Shen Miaoling showed excitement on her face and took a step forward.
"Master, is that you?"
Xu Chunniang nodded with a smile, "Fifth level of Qi training, not bad. It seems that you have not neglected your practice in the past few years when I was away."
Shen Miaoling showed a blush on her face, "Compared to other fellow brothers and sisters, my cultivation is nothing."
"You entered the sect relatively late, so it is understandable that your cultivation is lower. You don't have to compare yourself with others."
Xu Chunniang glanced at the young man next to her and smiled slightly.
"Are you adapting well in Xiaoyao Sect?"
The boy was already a little nervous, and after hearing the questions, he was so nervous that sweat broke out on the tip of his nose.
"In reply to... Old Ancestor's words, my master and I traveled thousands of miles to come to Xiaoyao Sect. After handing over the token you gave us, we successfully joined the sect.
Master got what he wanted, entered Hidden Sword Peak, and accepted two new disciples... I am in the outer sect, everything is fine."
After the young man briefly recounted the experiences of the master and apprentice, he tactfully said, "I just happen to have something else to do, so I won't disturb the ancestor and Junior Sister Shen."
After the young man left, Shen Miaoling suddenly asked, “Master, did you come here specially to say goodbye to me?”
A hint of surprise appeared in Xu Chunniang's eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she raised her hand and cast a barrier.
"Why do you ask this?"
Shen Miaoling was silent for a moment, "Xiaoyao Sect only has two Yuanying Zhenjun, one is Master Sheng, the other is Master Xu, and Master Xu broke through to the realm of transformation two years ago, and Master also happens to be surnamed Xu."
"I really can't hide it from you."
Xu Chunniang sighed inwardly, "You guessed right, I will go to the outer heaven and ascend to the spiritual world soon."
The guess in her heart was verified, Shen Miaoling felt a sense of loss in her heart, she raised her head and smiled.
"So Master is so powerful. He is the first person to achieve the state of spiritual enlightenment in the past two thousand years in the Northwest Continent. How could I be so worthy of Master's attention and be accepted as his disciple?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head and said, "These are just empty names. I was able to achieve the state of incarnation only because I happened to catch up with the trend of the revival of spiritual energy.
You work hard to make progress. Despite your eye problems, you never complain about your fate or others. There is no need to belittle yourself. "
"It was my good fortune to meet Master, but unfortunately the time I spent with him was too short."
Shen Miaoling's eyes were red, the years she spent with her master were the most peaceful moments in her life.
Thinking that she might never see her master again in her life, she felt indescribably sad.
"I don't even know what my master looks like. I really want to see what he looks like before he ascends to heaven..."
Seeing her little disciple's sad look, Xu Chunniang felt uncomfortable too.
"It may be a little itchy, just bear with it."
After that, she urged the twig, used the power of the twig’s law, and sent it into Shen Miaoling’s eyes.
Shen Miaoling only felt a chill in her eyes, followed by a tingling sensation that made her subconsciously want to rub her eyes.
But remembering her master's instructions, she endured it and tried hard to ignore the discomfort in her eyes.
After about half a cup of tea, the itchiness gradually subsided, and Shen Miaoling's eyes became blurry, and she vaguely saw some light.
She blinked in disbelief. The light in front of her eyes became brighter and brighter, and the scene she saw became clearer. A female cultivator with a calm and ethereal temperament was looking at her gently.
Shen Miaoling asked tentatively, "Master? I seem to be able to see..."
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly and explained.
“The injury to your eyes is acquired and not serious. Some medicinal pills can actually cure it. However, your cultivation is still shallow, and those medicinal pills will put a burden on your body.
After I broke through to the Spiritual Transformation stage, I came into contact with the power of laws. I will use the power of laws to heal your eyes without leaving any hidden dangers."
Although Shen Miaoling didn’t understand what the power of law was, she understood that her master was always doing it for her good.
"Thank you, Master!"
Shen Miaoling took a deep look at her master and memorized her appearance firmly in her mind.
The master was very kind to her. He introduced her to spiritual practice, brought her into the Xiaoyao Sect, and cured her eyes. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was her reborn parent.
"What are you thanking me for? Since I accepted you as my disciple, these are my responsibilities."
Xu Chunniang shook her head slightly, took out three jade slips and handed them to her.
"These are three jade slips of inheritance. The first slip contains my lifelong cultivation insights; the second slip contains some of my experiences in formation; the third slip contains my sword technique.
How much you can comprehend depends on your luck."
The value of these three jade slips is immeasurable. If any one of them were to circulate in the world of cultivation, it would cause a sensation.
Realizing the value of the jade slip in her hand, Shen Miaoling was deeply moved, and at the same time she also understood that her master was protecting her by not wanting to reveal her identity.
After giving away three jade slips, Xu Chunniang pointed at Shen Miaoling’s forehead and also sealed a leaf in her body.
"This leaf will save your life when you are fatally wounded. Although the leaf is magical, the vitality contained in it will eventually run out. Don't rely too much on external objects."
"Master, I know. You've said before that if you rely on external things, you won't get far."
Xu Chunniang nodded and pointed at Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai on her shoulders.
“They are nominally my spiritual pets, but in reality they are my companions in cultivation. If you encounter troubles that you cannot solve in the future, you can come to Xiaowushan and ask them for help.
But you must remember that the path is your own. Only by practicing down-to-earth can you have the opportunity to attain enlightenment and ascend. Remember, remember, do not lose your heart for the Tao!"
"Disciple will remember Master's teachings."
Shen Miaoling bowed deeply, and when she raised her head again, her master was no longer around.
Her heart ached and she kowtowed three times solemnly towards the open space in front of her and swore silently in her heart.
"Master, don't worry. I will practice hard and keep my original intention. I won't let you down!"
Xu Chunniang left the outer gate and went straight to Qianji Peak, where her master's cave was located.
Counting the time, it has been five or six years since Master went into seclusion.
Originally, Xu Chunniang didn't want to disturb her master when he was in seclusion, but after the affairs in this world were settled, she would leave the Qianluo World.
She wanted to see her master before leaving.
Standing outside the cave, Xu Chunniang hadn't figured out how to start talking yet, but the formation outside the cave was automatically opened, and the master's spiritual consciousness came out.
"Chun Niang is here? Come in."
Xu Chunniang left Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai outside the cave, and walked into the cave alone. She bowed and said, "I came here without permission and disturbed Master's practice. Please forgive me."
Yue Yanru shook her head and smiled, "I'm so happy that you're willing to come to my place, how can I blame you? I heard that you've made another breakthrough in your cultivation, and I haven't even congratulated you yet.
It's just that I've been in seclusion for a long time in recent years, but I haven't made any progress in formation. I'm still not sure about the breakthrough, so I'm afraid that your Infant Transformation Pill will be wasted."
