In the Akiyuko City of the Origin World, Bai Yunzhu's figure appeared in an independent house on the edge of the city near a mountain forest. She was sitting cross-legged on a bed with a worried expression on her face.
It had been more than half a day since she had rushed to Akiyuko City. Because Sei Itō wasn't there, she could only accept Little Ling Meng's suggestion to stay in the city and wait for Sei Itō's return.
"Sigh." Bai Yunzhu, who wasn't in the mood to cultivate, sighed softly. She opened her legs and stood up from the bed. Turning around, she walked to the window and opened it to look outside.
In an instant, the peaceful and comfortable city and the figures of the people with relaxed and happy smiles appeared before her eyes.
Looking at the environment before her, Bai Yunzhu couldn't help but let out a soft sigh as she thought of her sect that had been seized, her eldest senior sister that had been captured, and her scattered disciples.
"Sigh."
"I hope he is willing to help me." Bai Yunzhu thought to herself.
It was clear that she had doubts about whether she could ask Sei Itō to help her. But thinking about it, the two of them were neither relatives nor friends. At most, they had met once and chatted with each other in a friendly manner. Other than that, there was no other interaction between them. Why would a Legendary expert like him help Lin Li? Moreover, it was in a situation where she would have to become enemies with another power. If this matter were to happen to her, she wouldn't agree.
Unless there were enough benefits to move the other party's heart.
But now that her sect had been seized and her sect had been scattered, what benefits did she have to offer?
Thinking of this, Bai Yunzhu's expression became even more worried. Her body unconsciously emitted an aura of grief and indignation.
After an unknown period of time. After recovering from her grief and indignation, Bai Yunzhu adjusted her mood. Closing the window in front of her, she turned around and walked to the side of the bed. Lowering her body, she sat down cross-legged. Once again, she closed her eyes and entered a meditative state.
In an instant, Bai Yunzhu's body emitted a faint, otherworldly aura.
Time flowed, day and night changed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the second day.
Then, on this afternoon, a large cluster of photon particles suddenly appeared out of thin air and exploded. The adult version of Little Ling Meng appeared in Bai Yunzhu's room and stood before Bai Yunzhu.
"Master invites you over," Little Ling Meng said as she looked at Bai Yunzhu's relaxed expression.
"He's back!" Bai Yunzhu's expression changed upon hearing this. She said with a look of surprise.
Little Ling Meng nodded and confirmed Bai Yunzhu's words.
"Please come with me," Little Ling Meng said again.
"Alright." Bai Yunzhu, who knew that she had acted a little too hastily just now, smiled awkwardly and agreed.
Then, Little Ling Meng's figure flashed and appeared outside the house.
Seeing this, Bai Yunzhu quickly rushed over. He hastily walked to the side of the window and leapt out of it. Then, he followed behind Little Ling Meng and flew towards the shrine together.
In less than a minute, the two of them arrived at the shrine and landed in front of the house in the backyard.
"You can go in. Master is inside," Little Ling Meng said to Bai Yunzhu who was beside her.
After that … Her figure scattered and transformed into countless photon particles, which gradually melted into the air.
Bai Yunzhu was no longer surprised by Little Ling Meng's ability to scatter and break her hand. She took a deep breath and moved her right hand's five fingers to form a Body Cleansing Art. She cleaned up her spotless body. Then, she adjusted her expression and stepped into the house.
Soon, Sei Itō appeared before Bai Yunzhu's eyes. He was dressed casually and did not emit any aura. He looked just like an ordinary youth.
"Greetings, Mr. Itō," Bai Yunzhu stopped in her tracks. She saluted with a solemn expression. She no longer had the charm and maturity she had when they first met. Instead, she gave off a clear sense of alienation.
"Sit down, Sister Bai." Sei Itō, who understood that this was an unavoidable effect brought about by the difference in status, pointed to Fang Tong and smiled.
As for the name 'Sister Bai', it was when the two of them first met. Bai Yunzhu called him that. At that time, she only thought that Sei Itō was a small S-level master with no foundation. She did have the qualifications to call him big.
"Mr. Itō, I don't dare to accept the name 'Sister Bai'." Recalling the time when she wanted to rope him in as a disciple, Bai Yunzhu's face could not help but blush. She shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Itō, please call me Yunzhu," Bai Yunzhu changed the way she addressed herself.
"Okay then," Looking at Bai Yunzhu's serious look, Sei Itō did not care and nodded.
Bai Yunzhu, who was slightly relieved, did not speak. She walked to the side of the square cushion and sat down cross-legged.
At this moment, the maid temporarily summoned from her home in the Magic Cube world walked into the room with a wooden tray with two porcelain teacups on it. She knelt down and delivered the two teacups to Sei Itō and Bai Yunzhu.
Then, Li Zi got up and quietly left the room just like how he came in.
"Try it. Although it is not a well-known tea, I personally think that it is definitely not inferior to the famous tea in China." Sei Itō reached for the teacup in front of him and looked at Bai Yunzhu with a smile.
As he spoke, he put the teacup in front of his mouth and took a sip.
Although she wanted to immediately get into the conversation, Bai Yunzhu still understood this kind of social interaction, so she chuckled and said, "Then I have to try it." She picked up the cup and took a sip.
In an instant, Bai Yunzhu felt that her spirit was refreshed. A carefree feeling emerged from the bottom of her heart uncontrollably.
"Good tea!" Bai Yunzhu praised sincerely.
"Does this tea have a name?" Bai Yunzhu, who put down the teacup, asked.
"Yes, this tea's name is Qinglin." Sei Itō replied with a smile.
"Good name." Bai Yunzhu continued to praise.
In this regard, Sei Itō smiled noncommittally and continued to sip the tea in the cup. He did not take the initiative to ask Bai Yunzhu's purpose of coming to him this time. He looked like he was simply inviting an acquaintance to drink tea.
It was just that he was at ease. Bai Yunzhu's heart gradually became anxious. After all, her senior sister was still in the hands of the enemy. If it took too long, she might end up in a terrible situation. Therefore, after reluctantly accompanying Sei Itō to drink tea for a while. Finally, she could not hold back her emotions and called out, "Mr. Itō!"
Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Yunzhu.
"To tell you the truth, Yunzhu came to see you this time because I have something to ask you." Bai Yunzhu said seriously.
Sei Itō did not speak, but looked at her indifferently. Bai Yunzhu did not understand what Sei Itō meant.
Seeing this. Bai Yunzhu secretly gritted her teeth and continued, "Please help my Mingfeng Cave branch."
With that, Bai Yunzhu stood up from the square cushion, clasped her hands and bowed deeply.
Sei Itō still did not speak, and continued to leisurely sip the tea in the cup. And she did not know whether it was intentional or not. In the process of drinking this time, there was a very strange "gulu gulu" sound.
Hearing the strange sound, Bai Yunzhu, who was bowing, gritted her teeth again and said the benefits she could offer.
"As long as you are willing to help my Mingfeng Cave branch, I can represent my Mingfeng Cave branch to owe you a favor. When you need it, the whole sect will do our best!"
Sei Itō still did not speak.
"I wonder if you have heard of the Substitute Gu?" Bai Yunzhu, who still did not get a reply from Sei Itō, turned pale. She said sadly.
"No." This time, Sei Itō finally spoke.
"As the name suggests, life substitution gu is a gu worm that can replace its master to die once. As long as mister is willing to help my Phoenix Cry Cave branch, I can make the decision on behalf of my Phoenix Cry Cave branch and give mister the sect's greatest treasure, life substitution gu." Bai Yun Zhu said in a deep voice.
Clearly, Bai Yunzhu had made up her mind this time. She had even given away the sect's signature treasure.
"In addition to the cultivation method of the Substitute Gu, and the right to open the Sutra Depository for three days!" Sei Itō said lightly.
"This …" Bai Yunzhu's face revealed an awkward expression.
"What?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows.
"It's like this. Two hundred years ago, my Mingfeng Cave met with a calamity, causing the cultivation method of the Substitute Gu to be lost. Only a few fragments have been passed down. "Bai Yunzhu explained.
Sei Itō looked at Bai Yunzhu quietly. The latter did not avoid his gaze. Her gaze was pure as she looked back at him.
After a moment, after confirming that Bai Yunzhu was not lying to him, Sei Itō nodded and said, "Then I will open the Sutra Depository for one more day."
What kind of place was the Sutra Depository? It was where the inheritance of a sect was. Other than the most important foundation of the sect, the basic techniques and miscellaneous knowledge passed down in the sect, as well as the ancient books collected by the seniors since the sect was founded, were all stored there!
In this way, opening the Sutra Depository was equivalent to exposing the sect's inheritance to outsiders without any concealment. This could be said to be something that could shake the sect's foundation!
However, now that the mountain gate had been occupied, the Sect Master's Senior Sister had been captured, and the disciples were scattered in all directions. It was as if the sect was about to be exterminated. It was no longer a big deal to have a Sutra Depository whose protective formation had been broken. In any case, if they couldn't rescue her, the inheritance would be lost anyway. They might as well use it to exchange for a chance to continue the sect.
More importantly, because of the unique situation of the Mingfeng Cave's inheritance, the cultivation methods were mostly feminine and unorthodox. They were different from the mainstream and were not suitable for men to cultivate. They were also not afraid of Sei Itō looking through them. Therefore, Bai Yunzhu put on a hesitant expression and finally seemed to make up her mind and nodded heavily in agreement.
"Okay!"
"Lizi, bring two more cups of tea!" Sei Itō saw this and smiled slightly and shouted.
"Yes." Lizi's voice sounded in response.
"Sit down and tell me about the situation between you and the enemy, as well as the reason why you two fought." Sei Itō asked.
"Yes." Bai Yunzhu got up and sat cross-legged again. She organized her words and said, "It's like this …"
Through Bai Yunzhu's explanation, Sei Itō roughly understood the whole story.
The cause started from the rise of the earth … In the beginning, the world was dark. Like the many sects and clans hidden in the world, Mingfeng Cave basically maintained a state of seclusion and ignored the changes in the outside world. However, as the world changed more and more sects and clans appeared in the world to recruit people and expand their forces, some people in Mingfeng Cave also had the idea of appearing in the world. Therefore, after some discussion, Mingfeng Cave also appeared in the world with the help of the east wind!
However, unlike those sects and clans that appeared in the world almost completely, Mingfeng Cave only appeared partially in the world due to its special inheritance. Moreover, the people it targeted were the Miao Clan's Miao Village disciples at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, to the outside world, Mingfeng Cave was still the same Mingfeng Cave and did not attract much attention.
However, this situation changed after the rise of the earth intensified, causing the auxiliary space and the small world's flying continent to appear.
It was hard to say whether it was the luck of Phoenix Cry Cave or something else, but a flying land that had obviously been developed by someone before, filled with precious spirit plants and herbs that were considered precious in modern times, and kept a small number of rare beasts and precious minerals, had arrived near the entrance of Phoenix Cry Cave.
Everyone in Mingfeng Cave was naturally overjoyed by such a heaven-sent fortune, thinking that the day of Mingfeng Cave's prosperity had finally arrived.
However, the good times did not last long. In a moment of carelessness, the news of Mingfeng Cave obtaining a heaven-sent fortune was spread through the mouth of a Miao Clan girl who had just joined the sect. After four or five rounds, it was heard by a disciple of a certain clan in Dian Province and reported to their master.
Needless to say, the master was naturally tempted by the fortune. The next day, he went to Mingfeng Cave to discuss the matter of sharing the fortune.
The Miao Clan girls were known for their fierce temperament. Moreover, this was obviously something that had fallen into their hands. How could they be willing to share it with others? Naturally, the negotiation did not reach an agreement and they parted on bad terms in the end!
However, what Bai Yunzhu and the others did not expect was that the master of this clan was actually so vicious. He thought that if he could not obtain it, then they would not be able to either. He directly spread the news and attracted the attention of the Cultivation World and sects in Guizhou and Guangxi.
Then, the development of the situation became simple. Trouble came knocking on their door. Mingfeng Cave fell, the hot-tempered Third Elder was killed on the spot, the Sect Master's Eldest Senior Sister was imprisoned, and the Second Senior Sister, Bai Yunzhu, was severely injured. However, she managed to escape with her life thanks to a fortuitous encounter she had obtained during her travels. The Fourth Junior Sister and the cold-tempered Fifth Junior Sister led their core disciples and scattered in all directions to avoid being hunted down …
"Before I came here, I heard that the large sects in Guizhou and Guangxi had already reached an agreement to share this fortune," Bai Yunzhu said in the end.
"In other words, if I make a move, I will offend two large Cultivation World sects at once?" Sei Itō said with a frown.
