As soon as Mingyue finished speaking, Fengmian and the old woman looked at her in surprise, probably unable to understand why she suddenly agreed.
In fact, both of them knew that this matter involved certain risks. Even if they tempted her with benefits, they were prepared that Mingyue would not agree.
After all, not everyone is like them, wishing to die early and be free sooner. Most people in the world cherish their lives!
Mingyue had a calm expression. While thinking about something, she elaborated on her conditions: "I need you to teach me all your skills without reservation. After the matter is accomplished, I will satisfy your wishes."
The old woman nodded without even thinking: "I agree to your terms. I have always wanted to find someone to pass on my Qi Huang skills. If that person is you, it would be great."
Feng Mian pondered for a while before slowly saying, "Of course we can, but we will teach you everything we know. However, how much you can learn depends on your own ability."
Mingyue nodded: "I will do my best."
Feng Mian added: "And there needs to be a time limit. After all, you are just an ordinary person with no cultivation. If you wait until you are old, then everything will be meaningless."
The old woman was stunned for a moment, and then she echoed, "Yes, the older you get, the worse your body becomes. If you go to receive these spiritual energy inheritances at that age, you will definitely not be able to bear it."
Mingyue thought about it and gave a deadline: "Then ten years. I only need ten years."
Now that she knew He Mingyue's wish, she didn't have much time to waste here.
In ten years, learn as much as you can.
After they finish learning, I will help them absorb the spiritual energy and then...
Mingyue's eyes flickered as she realized Feishuang's presence in her sea of consciousness, causing her to suppress all distracting thoughts.
Feng Mian clapped his hands: "Okay, then we will give you ten years."
The old woman's eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, showed some excitement, and her tone was anxious: "Since there is not much time left, let's not delay any longer. Come back to Qihuangmen with me now, and we will start learning from now on, right?"
Mingyue glanced at the blood-red flowers on the ground and knew that Fengmian would probably need to rest for a while before recovering, so she nodded: "Okay."
At this time, the old woman gently stroked the ring in her hand, and soon a teleportation scroll and two green runes appeared in her hand.
"Brother Feng, Qingyu will take you back later, and I will take this..." The old woman paused when she looked at Mingyue, and then she remembered that she didn't know her name yet.
"My name is He Mingyue." Mingyue reminded.
"Then I will call you Mingyue. Mingyue, please stand on the scroll." The old woman said familiarly, then turned her head to Feng Mian and said, "Brother Feng, I will take Mingyue back to Qihuang Sect now. Take care of yourself and come to us when you feel better."
Feng Mian said helplessly: "Go ahead, go ahead. You are still so irritable."
She is already over 400 years old, but why is she still like the little girl she used to be, always in a hurry and hasty in doing everything
The old woman touched her nose a little embarrassedly and winked at Mingyue.
After Mingyue stood on the scroll, the old woman said "take care" again, and then started the transmission. A burst of light flashed on the transmission scroll, and the two quickly disappeared into the house.
At this moment, Feng Mian suddenly couldn't help laughing towards the sky, and tears came down from his eyes. For six hundred and thirty-eight years, he had been suffering from the impact of the spiritual energy in his body all the time, but he finally waited, finally waited for the chance to be freed.
Even if he dies this time, he must get rid of these spiritual inheritances and abandon the mission passed down by his ancestors.

After a while, Mingyue followed the old woman and stood at the foot of a mountain.
At first glance, there are thick clouds of light ink wrapped around the mountains, layer upon layer, which is very beautiful. There are lush trees all around, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and unknown birds chirping and singing above.
The old woman put the teleportation scroll into her ring and explained to Mingyue, "All sects have gate protection arrays, so the teleportation array can only teleport to the foot of the mountain. Let's go, now we need to go up by ourselves."
Mingyue looked at the mountain that seemed to be above the clouds and couldn't help swallowing her saliva: "Don't you have any other means of transportation?"
“The cultivation world naturally doesn’t have the means of transportation found in the secular world. But cultivators naturally have their own abilities to go up the mountain. It’s just that you don’t have any skills or techniques right now, so I have to inconvenience you into following me on this trip.” The old woman’s eyes rolled, with an imperceptible cunningness hidden in them.
Mingyue: …
It was just a mountain climb, Mingyue was only depressed for a moment, then she cheered up and nodded: "Okay then!"
The smile on the old woman's face deepened, and she took Mingyue to go up the mountain via the farthest route.
It’s not that she wanted to make fun of Mingyue on purpose, she just wanted to know the true nature of this savior. People will only reveal their true nature when they are extremely irritated and tired.
She wanted to be liberated so much before, so she anxiously asked Mingyue to receive the inherited spiritual energy for them.
Now she has come to her senses and calmed down. Even though she wants to be free, she still has to consider the character of this savior. She cannot give her abilities to the evil ones to bring disaster to the world.
So the old woman chose to climb the mountain, but the way up the mountain was not easy to walk on. The people in the sect used various magic, so the way up the mountain was rugged and overgrown with weeds. If you were not careful, you would cut your skin, and various small animals would jump out from time to time.
When Mingyue stared at the huge rat that jumped out again, she actually had a vague feeling that the old woman was deliberately taking a detour.
However, Mingyue could sense that she had no ill intentions, so she let her lead the way.
Anyway, the other person is already gray-haired and is still "driving" the mountain road with her, so what is there for her to worry about
Moreover, the reason why Mingyue agreed to receive the inherited spiritual energy for them was actually because she received He Mingyue's memory and, by the way, also knew He Mingyue's wish.
The memory that He Mingyue blocked herself off from could be described as hell on earth.
Although He Mingyue grew up in an orphanage, she is strong-willed and independent. She will work hard to get what she wants and has never thought of marrying up to a rich and powerful person. The reason she is with Jiang Huai is because she firmly believes that they love each other.
She believed what Jiang Huai said about love at first sight, and she also believed that this young master was sincere to her.
Especially when Jiang Huai told her the Jiang family's ancestral teachings and said he would take her back to the ancestral home to burn incense, she made up her mind at that moment. Even if the result was not satisfactory, she would always remember Jiang Huai's sincerity towards her.
But... she never thought that she was just a stick of incense in Jiang Huai's eyes.
