Zhang Yan held the broken jade in his hand, and his mind sank into it as he tried to deduce it.
Three Great Daos appeared in his sea of consciousness. They were the correct path to the Wood Elemental True Light Cultivation Technique that he had painstakingly deduced.
At this moment, his body suddenly shook, and one of the Great Daos collapsed, leaving only the last two.
As long as he cut off one more path, he would be able to completely deduce this cultivation technique.
Just as he was about to continue deducing, he suddenly felt a surge of inspiration. He seemed to have sensed something, and he immediately retracted his mind and came out of the broken jade. He waved the small pot mirror, and the surface of the mirror rippled like water. Only then did he know what had happened. He smiled and said, "So Fellow Daoist Luo has also reached this realm after forming the core from medicinal transformation."
At this moment, in the hall, Luo Xiao's expression was overjoyed. Her cheeks were flushed red as if she'd drunk fine wine, and her charming dimples were intoxicated like a blooming flower. Even though she didn't put on any makeup, her entire body glowed with a bright and beautiful color.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Yan knew that she was Just Now condensing her core, and the vitality around her was extremely vigorous.
It was just like how when he first condensed his core back then, he wanted to soar into the sky and travel tens of thousands of miles. It was the same logic.
It wasn't just because he was happy; it was also because of his vigorous qi and blood. Cultivators only needed to circulate their golden core and slowly restrain it, and they would be able to look normal in a few days.
Zhang Yan got up and opened the array door. He stepped into the main hall and laughed. "Fellow Daoist Luo has reached the Golden Core Formation, and your lifespan has reached 600 years. Congratulations, I should give you a congratulatory gift."
Luo Xiao was still immersed in the joy of breaking through. Seeing Zhang Yan come out to congratulate her, she happily returned the greeting. "I don't deserve your congratulations. Didn't I rely on your help to achieve what I have today?"
After a cultivator entered the Golden Core Formation, their lifespan was around 600 years, but this varied from person to person. Some had a longer lifespan while others had a shorter lifespan.
Mystic Light Realm cultivators only had three hundred years of lifespan, and Luo Xiao had cultivated for two hundred years before she met Zhang Yan. She knew that she did not have much time left to live. Although she did not show it on the surface, she was anxious and depressed on the inside. Now that her cultivation was complete and she could finally enter the Core Transformation Stage, how could she not be happy?
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It's not a big gift, please don't mind."
With a flick of his sleeve, twelve magical swords flew out of his sleeve along with the smoke. Their heads and tails joined together, forming a circle in the air. For a moment, the sword Qi was dense, the cold light piercing one's skin.
These twelve magical swords were obtained by Zhang Yan from Xiao Mu's sleeve, and they were forged in the Qincang School's Bao Yang Courtyard. Although it could not be considered a magic treasure, it was still incomparably sharp. Ordinary magic treasures could not compare to it.
Luo Xiao immediately revealed a happy expression when she saw the treasured qi of the twelve magic swords circulating and emitting rays of cold light.
She stretched out her hand. The magic swords were all moved and fell down. With another wave of her hand, they all let out a clear hum and fell into her hand.
When Zhang Yan first obtained this magic sword, he had never tried it out. He did not think that it would have such a change. After being startled for a moment, he smiled and said, "Fellow Luo, it seems that this item is really fated with you. It should be yours."
The magic power on this magic sword had long been erased by Zhang Yan, so Luo Xiao could use it freely with just a little bit of refinement. She held it in her hand and practiced, controlling it to fly around. Seeing that this magic sword could split and combine according to her will, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on her face. She said, "Master, I will shamelessly accept this gift."
At this moment, a few of Zhang Yan's disciples also heard the commotion and came out of the cultivation cave. In the main hall, the Wang sisters' eyes were filled with envy. They came up to congratulate her and said, "Lady Luo, congratulations."
Jiang Zheng also smiled and went up to congratulate her. However, Tian Kun was not good with words, so he just cupped his hands to express his congratulations. Luo Xiao knew his personality, so she did not mind.
Shang Chang and Luo Xiao were the first to know each other, and they were both yao cultivators. Within the cave, their relationship could be considered the best. She was also sincerely happy for Luo Xiao. After everyone had congratulated her, she then came over and said, "Sister, sister congratulates you."
When Luo Xiao saw her, her eyes turned and she grabbed Shang Chang's wrist. She led her to the front of Zhang Yan and said, "Master, Sister Shang has a weak personality and has never had any desires. It's just that she has been managing the cave for you all these years. Even if she doesn't have any merits, she has put in a lot of effort. Today, I will ask for a favor for her. Master, please grant her a good cultivation technique so that she can achieve Dao soon."
After Shang Chang transformed, she had been cultivating with no other superior cultivation techniques. Seeing that others in the cave could cultivate and seek Dao, it would be a lie to say that she was not envious. However, she knew that she was born a demoness, so she did not have too many expectations. Now that Luo Xiao suddenly asked for a favor, she did not know what to do. Flustered and confused, she said, "Master, this, sister, you …"
Zhang Yan took a look at her and nodded, "Lady Shang indeed has it hard. Fellow Daoist Luo, I have taught you hundreds of cultivation techniques. Choose one and teach it to her."
Luo Xiao giggled and pushed Shang Chang, she said, "Sister, aren't you going to thank Master?"
Shang Chang was overjoyed. Holding back her tears, she knelt down and said, "This servant thanks Master."
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded, he said, "No need to thank me. You should thank Fellow Daoist Luo. Go and prepare a banquet, we need to celebrate with her today."
Shang Chang stood up and took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. She said, "I'm sorry, Master. This servant will go and prepare it now."
Just as she was about to move, at this moment, she suddenly heard a long whistle from the northeast corner of the hall. It sounded like the cry of a wild goose or the cry of a phoenix. Immediately after, a loud trembling sound came. The spiritual energy in the cave was instantly stirred up, and everyone felt a strange feeling in their hearts.
Luo Xiao was deep in thought. She raised her head and looked at Zhang Yan, she said in surprise, "Could this be …"
Zhang Yan waved his sleeve and smiled, "It should be. We will know in a while."
Seeing that the two of them were talking in riddles, everyone was a little confused. However, there were also those who were intelligent and familiar with the situation in the mansion, such as the Wang sisters. With a quick turn of their minds, they were able to guess the whole story.
At this moment, an auspicious aura gushed into the hall. Everyone looked towards the entrance, only to see a lady dressed in white with long hair draped over her shoulders walking in. She was like a pure white lotus, her aura was clear and peaceful, returning to one's natural state. When she reached the center of the hall, she bowed to Zhang Yan and said, "This humble Daoist greets the Manor Lord."
Zhang Yan was not as arrogant as usual. He solemnly returned the greeting and said, "Enlightened Master Lu, no need to be so polite."
This woman was Lu Meiniang. She had already crossed the door and achieved the Yuanying Realm that many demon cultivators could not reach.
She herself was extremely depressed as well. Even though stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm in one go was something worthy of rejoicing, her lifespan was close to six hundred years, and it was extremely unlikely for her to step foot into the Avatar Realm in her lifetime.
Zhang Yan laughed brightly and said, "I didn't think that even Fellow Daoist Lu would come out this time. We should congratulate you."
If there was a Yuanying Enlightened Master in the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake, it would be very different from the past. From now on, he would not have to worry about enemies coming to find him. In the future, if he wanted to travel far away, he could go with peace of mind.
After receiving Zhang Yan's order, Shang Chang immediately went to make arrangements. She ordered all the maids in the mansion to work and set up a banquet.
In just a moment, the maids were like butterflies flying through flowers. They walked around the hall and kept serving delicacies.
In this Clear Nether Heavenly Lake, there were strange fish and beasts, precious fruits and delicacies. Usually, there were not many guests. There were many cultivators in the mansion, so they rarely took them out to make food. Today, taking advantage of this opportunity, they brought them all out and filled the table in front of the hall.
Wang Caiting was born in a big family and loved crowds. At this moment, she muttered, "There's wine but no songs. Boring, boring."
Luo Xiao's ears were sharp. When she heard her voice, she turned her head and looked at her. She smiled sweetly and said, "Little Miss Wang is right. Sister Shang's clansmen are good at singing and dancing. It's just that they need to borrow the water to dance."
Yuji beauties were famous for their singing and dancing. Especially their dance moves, they were top notch. However, because it was a dance in the water, people rarely saw it.
Lu Meiniang smiled lightly and said, "What's so difficult about it? Let's see how I do it. "
She raised her hand and pinched her fingers. She sucked a breath over. She muttered something and pointed downwards.
The sound of water was heard. A clear spring was drawn from the basin and water jar placed in the corner of the hall. It landed on the ground. Water vapor came from all directions and gradually gathered. In the end, it turned into a pool. It was a thousand feet wide, enough for dozens of Yuji to dance in it.
Zhang Yan had never seen the dance of Yuji. When he was about to take a closer look, the mirror spirit came out of nowhere and whispered in his ear, "Master, that Xiao Yi wants to see you. He said he has something important to tell you."
Zhang Yan's expression didn't change. Using the opportunity of drinking, he said, "Bring him to the back hall and wait. I'll see him later."
During the competition that day, Zhang Yan promised Xiao Yi to return Xiao He from the clan. However, this person had already taken over Xiao Yi's body and left. This was a spy that Zhang Yan had conveniently planted that day. He didn't take it to heart. However, this person was bold and ruthless. He also had some intelligence. He wouldn't come here for no reason. Thus, he decided to see him.
Xiao Yi was led to the back hall to wait. He didn't show any impatience. He waited calmly for an hour. Just Now, when he saw Zhang Yan strolling in, he immediately stood up and bowed deeply. He said respectfully, "Greetings, Chief."
Zhang Yan reached out and pressed down on him. He sat down on the main seat and said in a deep voice, "You must have a reason for coming to find me. Is there something important?"
Xiao Yi paused and said in a low voice, "It's not anything important. It's just that there's someone who is very suspicious. He might be harmful to Chief. I had some free time to leave the clan today. This is a rare opportunity, so I came to report to Chief."
When he said this, he looked up and saw that Zhang Yan was listening. He continued, "Half a year ago, a new clansman came to my Xiao Clan. His name is Xiao Ao. He's also in the Mystic Light Realm. Although he claims to be a member of my Xiao Clan and has been cultivating for more than thirty years, the strange thing is that I've never heard of him before."
He laughed self-mockingly and said, "Haha, I'm not afraid of Chief laughing at me. I have a problem with being overly suspicious. Thus, I sent my trusted subordinates to investigate. However, they didn't find anything. I don't know who he has been cultivating with all these years. If he was a normal disciple, why would he need to be so secretive? Thus, I boldly guess that there must be something wrong with this person's background. "
