Little Tanuki knew that although she didn't like to eat spiritual materials, Ao Ze treated it as a treasure.
Unexpectedly, Ao Ze shook his head decisively and said, "No, Master told me to look after you."
"You are wrong!" Little Tanuki said confidently, "Xuan asked you to take care of me, not to look after me. Bringing me to fight and giving me some meat to eat are the ways to take care of me."
Ao Ze thought about it and felt that what Little Tanuki said made sense, but he still shook his head and said, "No, Master will punish me."
Little Tanuki was so angry that her little claws kept scratching Ao Ze's head. This big fool is really stupid. As long as I don't say it, how would Xuan know?
But this little strength was just a tickle to Ao Ze's defense. It couldn't cause any damage at all.
…
A year's time could be said to be slow, but it could also be said to be fast. Lu Xuan had a fulfilling and comfortable year in the Heaven Emperor Palace. He cultivated various secret techniques, mastered enchantment and alchemy techniques, and was now busy increasing his cultivation level in order to break through to the Origin Realm. But in the outside world, many people were worried for him.
"It has been more than ten months. Why hasn't Lu Xuan come out yet?" Chen Xiaohan clenched her hands tightly, and her eyebrows were full of worry. In front of her, sat Zhao Binger and Xia Chenxi. Within this year, because the three of them were concerned about the same person, they got closer and met each other from time to time.
Zhao Binger didn't interact much with outsiders in the past, but since she got to know Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi, her temperament gradually became more cheerful. At least in front of her own people, she was no longer so cold.
In the first few months, the three women were still relatively calm and did what they should do. But after half a year, they began to be a little restless. Although Lin Zeyu said that Lu Xuan got the inheritance, after all, no one saw it with their own eyes. Who knew if it was true or false? Moreover, Lu Xuan hadn't come out for so long, so they couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild. Therefore, every time they gathered together, they couldn't help but talk about this topic, calculating how long Lu Xuan had been missing.
This worry had undoubtedly affected the cultivation of the three of them. Chen Xiaohan was indeed talented in the Talisman Taoism and was highly valued by Elder Xing. Under the wholehearted training, she had already become a Six Star Talisman Master when Lu Xuan stayed in the Heaven Sovereign Palace for half a year. However, she did not make any progress in the following period of time. How could a Talisman Master with an unsettled state of mind practice the Talisman Taoism well? Although Elder Xing repeatedly advised Chen Xiaohan not to worry, it was of no use.
It was the same for Xia Chenxi too. She had already reached the peak of the 6th level of Spirit Refinement Realm, but she was still unable to break through to the late stage of Spirit Refinement Realm. Even if Zhao Binger often imparted cultivation insights to her, it was of no use.
Zhao Binger was slightly less affected because she had a cold personality and was already used to cultivation. Even if she was worried, she wouldn't be disturbed during cultivation. Most importantly, she believed that nothing would happen to Lu Xuan. She knew quite a lot of Lu Xuan's secrets, so Lin Zeyu shouldn't be lying.
She had already reached the 3rd level of the Origin Realm and was on par with Leng Qingqiu. She was approaching the middle stage of the Origin Realm. Her cultivation speed could be said to be extremely fast, and the Mystic Ice Heart Sutra naturally played a considerable role in this.
It was worth mentioning that ever since Leng Qingqiu returned from the ancient almighty's cave, he hadn't advanced an inch. He had already been disturbed by Lu Xuan's achievements, and was still at the 3rd level of the Origin Realm. But recently, his condition had improved. Because Lu Xuan hadn't returned for nearly a year, he couldn't help but guess that Lu Xuan probably didn't obtain the inheritance, but had fallen. Under the stimulation of this good news, his strength had a slight improvement.
As for the three treasures that Zhao Binger brought back from the Inner Hall, they were a scroll, a jade scroll, and an ancient manual. The scroll was a Nine Star Spirit Talisman Scroll. Zhao Binger had no use for it, so she gave it to Chen Xiaohan. The jade scroll recorded a set of earth tier upper grade martial skill, but it wasn't a sword art, but a saber art. Similarly, Chen Xiaohan took it, but she didn't use it herself. She gave it to Zhang Dongshuang during a visit to her family. Among the few beauties of Lu Xuan, only Zhang Dongshuang practiced the saber. Of course, Chen Xiaohan didn't mention Lu Xuan's current state, only saying that he was in seclusion in the Mystic Ice Pavilion. After all, she didn't want Zhang Dongshuang and Lin Xinyi to worry about Lu Xuan.
As for that ancient book, it recorded a Secret Art called the Ten Deaths Art. The so-called Ten Deaths Art meant that once this Secret Art was used, it would completely sever one's life force, burning all of one's life force in exchange for an extremely powerful combat strength. It was something that could be used in a desperate situation. However, although the combat strength obtained in exchange was powerful, the price was too high. It could be said to be extremely vicious, vicious to oneself.
Zhao Binger also made a copy of this secret skill and gave it to Xia Chenxi. Although it was best not to use a secret skill, when faced with a real desperate situation, it could be used as a deterrent.
"Wait patiently. Lu Xuan will definitely be fine. In the cave of the ancient almighty, Lu Xuan showed me many places that he had a close relationship with the secret realm. If there is really someone who can obtain the inheritance of the ancient almighty, it will definitely be Lu Xuan." Zhao Binger comforted the other two girls, and also comforted herself.
"I also believe in Lu Xuan. There is nothing he can't do." Xia Chenxi said confidently.
Chen Xiaohan looked at Zhao Binger, and then looked at Xia Chenxi. She couldn't help but rub her chin in distress. "I also believe in him, but he still hasn't come out. We can't help but worry. Besides, there are many people in the sect who are gloating over his misfortune. They are spreading rumors that Lu Xuan died in the ancient almighty's cave."
"You already said that it is a rumor. Why do we care about it?" Xia Chenxi reached out to help Chen Xiaohan fix her hanging hair. "Maybe when Lu Xuan comes back, he will give us a surprise."
"I don't want any surprises. I just want him to come back safely." Chen Xiaohan sighed slightly. The feeling of worrying about someone was really not good. Lu Xuan, this guy, was always so worrisome.
Zhao Binger coldly snorted. "The rumors must have been spread by Leng Qingqiu. He was worried that Lu Xuan would steal his illusory position as the next Pavilion Master, so he made up these rumors to deceive himself."
Chen Xiaohan also snorted disdainfully: "Truly gauging the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain. Lu Xuan would not be interested in the position of Pavilion Master. Only he, Leng Qingqiu, would place such importance on it."
Zhao Binger pursed her lips. "If, I mean if, something really happened to Lu Xuan, I definitely won't forgive Leng Qingqiu!"
Originally, Zhao Binger was prepared to find trouble with Leng Qingqiu. Later, when she heard that Lu Xuan was fine, she temporarily let him go. But who knew that the situation seemed to have changed again.
