"This sword has gained sentience, right?" Ying Luo said.
"…" It should be the Metal Spirit that had gained sentience!
Zhu Yao picked up the sword on the table, and inspected it carefully. Just like the other two, there was a surge of devilish energy, and there was even a talisman sealing it.
"Three now!" Mission completion rate: 3/5!
The girl sighed, a hint of worry flashed past her face. "Yu Yao, just what is the method you mentioned to get rid of the Devil once and for all?"
"Devil Smiting Inscription." Zhu Yao solemnly said. "This is the one and only inscription art in this world that can exterminate Devils."
"Exterminate?" Ying Luo was startled. "Aren't Devils undying and indestructible, and can only be sealed?"
"Believe me!" Zhu Yao patted on her shoulders. "There are no absolutes in everything. This method will definitely work." She had personally tried it before.
"…" Ying Luo was silent for a moment. In the end, she still sighed and said with a smile. "Alright then, since I've already boarded this pirate ship of yours, I have no choice but to trust you till the end."
Pirate ship …
Was it too late to switch teammates?
"Where are we going next? Should we go to Point Formation Sect? " She suddenly said with an excited expression. "That place is rather close to Forgotten God Palace, and I've long heard that there's an elder in Point Formation Clan. He's a rare handsome young master, and no matter if it's his character, cultivation, or looks, he's one of the best in the cultivation world."
Zhu Yao glanced at the girl. "You've fallen for him?"
"Ah?" Ying Luo blanked for a moment. A moment later, she scratched her head and chuckled. "Hoho, I have met him several times in the past, and I'm not really … familiar with him either!"
"You like him?"
She blushed. "Uh … Did you know? He has four spiritual roots, yet he could form his Gold Core with his own strength. He's very impressive. "
"You've fallen for him!"
Her face was as red as blood. "I have penta spirit veins. Although my cultivation speed is not bad, it's also because I have an ancient bloodline. He comprehended it all by himself. "
"You like him?"
Ying Luo: "…"
A few seconds later.
"Yes, I like him." She looked like she was ready to throw caution to the wind. "I want to have sex with him every minute! What do you think? "
"Tsk! Why didn't you say so earlier? "Zhu Yao rolled her eyes." I have experience in this! "
"Aaaaah!?" Ying Luo's eyes shone. "Wha … Wha … What experience?"
"Is there even a need to say it?" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes even more joyfully. What other experience could it be? Of course it was the experience of being strong. The experience of pouncing on his master so many times was not for nothing.
Ying Luo's expression instantly straightened, as she said with utmost respect. "I hope that Sovereign Yu Yao will not be stingy with your teachings."
"That's easy." Zhu Yao courteously waved her hand, poured herself a cup of tea, and casually asked. "First, tell me, what's that elder's name?"
Her face started to turn red again, as if she had instantly put away her natural masculine nature and revealed a shy look. Her eyes shone as she said, "His name is Ding Chunqiu."
Pu ~ ~ ~ ~
Zhu Yao sprayed out a mouthful of tea all over her face!
You NPCs, please choose your names properly!

Zhu Yao asked Wen Yu about it, and found out that there was really someone called Ding Chunqiu in Point Formation Sect. However, he was no longer an elder of Point Formation Sect, but a Sect Master. In the few hundred years when the girl Ying Luo was sealed, he had been doing pretty well. Not only did he form his Nascent Soul, his reputation in the cultivation world was also rather resounding.
Even Wen Yu, an old man who had always harbored hatred towards other sects, was full of praises for him. Indeed, forming a Nascent Soul with four spirit veins was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. This Sect Master Ding was a model example of hard work. And under his leadership, Point Formation Sect had already firmly planted its roots amongst the first-rate sects.
Point Formation Sect was proficient in formations, and belonged to a neutral sect. They would not participate in any sect's disputes, and because of this, many sects would invite people from Point Formation Sect to participate in setting up formations and give them pointers.
This was also how Point Formation Sect got its name.
It was rumored that the next Inter-Sect Tournament would be held in Point Formation Sect.
Zhu Yao had initially wanted to find the fourth mystic artifact as soon as possible, but after hearing Wen Yu's words, she changed her mind. Point Formation Sect's formations were profound, and if she were to barge in forcefully, there would definitely be the danger of exposing her identity. She did not mind, but the girl Ying Luo would be in trouble.
She might as well wait until the Inter-Sect Tournament, and while there were many people in each sect, she could sneak in. At that time, it would be easier for her to find the mystic artifact.
Coincidentally, there were still about five years before the next Inter-Sect Tournament, and she could use this opportunity to let the girl Ying Luo replenish her cultivation.
"In five years, you must form your Azoth Core!"
"Aaaaah!" Ying Luo was shocked. "Five years, isn't that a little too short!?"
"You've already formed your Azoth Core once, what's there to be afraid of?" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes. It wasn't like she was cultivating from scratch, and her meridians had long reached the level of a Nascent Soul. Forget about five years, three years was more or less enough. "Work hard. Didn't you fancy that guy with the surname Ding? The higher your cultivation, the greater your chances of success. "
"That's true!" She was instantly motivated, and began to meditate with her legs crossed.
Zhu Yao informed Wen Yu, and released the news that she was going into closed-door training. After that, she sealed off the entire mountain peak, and placed down five spiritual energy guiding formations around the girl Ying Luo. As long as she entered a meditative state, the spiritual energy on the mountain peak would be ten times denser than usual. She wondered if it was because of the presence of the Metal Spirit, but the metal spiritual energy was especially dense.
Actually, it was very easy for the girl to raise her cultivation. Because she had trained once before, she basically did not have any bottlenecks from the early stages of Foundation to the Paragon. The only thing she lacked was spiritual energy. With the replenishment of spiritual energy, she naturally raised her cultivation very quickly. In less than three years, she had already reached the Paragon level.
Next would be forming her Azoth Core, and this would have to depend on the girl's own comprehension. On the fourth year of her closed-door training, Zhu Yao faintly sensed an abnormal movement in the spiritual energy. She was about to form her Azoth Core.
She once again strengthened the surrounding spiritual energy guiding formations, and even released the Metal Spirit, in order to maintain a sufficient amount of spiritual energy. Ying Luo's expression, however, grew even worse. Large droplets of sweat dripped down from her forehead, as though she was enduring an extremely great pain. Even her spiritual energy was a little chaotic.
Zhu Yao stood guard at the side without moving. Initially, she thought that there would be no problems, but she saw her expression grow even worse. The spiritual energy was actually scattering even more violently, as though it would scatter the moment it entered her body. Her brows were deeply knitted together, and a hint of death aura could faintly be seen.
What was going on? This was different from what was written in the script.
"Girl Ying Luo!" She anxiously shouted out. This situation was evidently the result of her restless state of mind. "Conceal your spiritual energy, focus your mind, and calm your heart. Focus on forming your Azoth Core, and don't let your thoughts run wild! "
At such a crucial moment, what was she thinking about?
Her situation, however, was worsening. Even the corner of her lips was leaking out traces of blood, and the spiritual energy in her body was already in a mess.
"The hell!" She was here to save her, not to end her prematurely. Taking a deep breath, Zhu Yao could no longer care about the backlash. She immediately materialized a strand of divine sense, and forcefully entered her meridians. She guided the chaotic spiritual energy to circulate. Then, she casually entered the place where she was forming her Azoth Core, only to realize that the spiritual energy there was even more chaotic.
The moment she entered, as though the chaotic spiritual energy had found its target, it began to wildly attack her divine sense. Zhu Yao was about to puke blood from the pain, yet, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere. If this girl was going to die, then she would have come here for nothing.
Gritting her teeth, she used all of her strength to control the chaotic spiritual energy. Then, following the method of forming her Azoth Core, she guided the spiritual energy to revolve in a single direction, forming a whirlpool. In the beginning, it was extremely difficult. Because it was not her own body, she was basically unable to control the spiritual energy, and the backlash became even more severe. After circulating it a few times with great difficulty, it slowly became orderly, and she no longer needed to forcefully guide it.
And at the center of the spiritual energy, there was already a faint five-colored dot, and it was slowly solidifying and growing bigger.
Only then did Zhu Yao retract her divine sense, but she puked out a mouthful of blood. Earlier, she did not feel much pain, but now that she had retracted it, the pain instantly spread throughout her entire body, and she felt as though her soul was being bitten a few times.
She had no choice but to close her eyes, take a deep breath, and meditate. Circulating spiritual energy, she slowly nurtured her divine sense. It was too goddamn painful, she felt as though she had died once. It was even more painful than when she was a Demigod back then.
After meditating for an entire day, Zhu Yao was finally able to catch her breath. At the side, Ying Luo had coincidentally completed her Azoth Core as well, and she opened her eyes.
She turned to look at her, and as though she was stunned for a moment, her eyes sank, and there seemed to be tears flashing within. "Yu Yao … I … Thank you."
Zhu Yao waved her hand. "It's good that you're fine. Seriously, even forming your Azoth Core doesn't make me feel at ease. Why did you suddenly get distracted? "
Her expression changed, and a moment later, she said seriously. "It won't happen again."
"There's still a next time!?" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes at her. "Do you think anyone can form their Azoth Core twice like you?" Of course, she was an exception.
"That's true." She grinned, and then manly slapped her. "I'm not that unlucky."
After being slapped by her, Zhu Yao opened her mouth and puked out another mouthful of blood. "Take note of the handicapped, hey!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She repeatedly apologized, her face was filled with guilt.
"Nevermind, nevermind." That blood was something she wanted to puke out in the first place. "Are you certain that you have formed your Azoth Core?"
"Of course!" She nodded. "I'm completely fine now."
"That's good. I want to stay away from you." Zhu Yao crawled away.
"Wait a minute!" Ying Luo dragged her back. "You're already injured, where are you going? You should hurry and meditate to recuperate. "
"I can't sit here."
"Why?"
"Because …"
Boom —
A bolt of Azoth Core Tribulation Lightning struck down from above Ying Luo's head. However, at the instant it was about to land on the ground, it made a turn and landed on the person next to her.
Zhu Yao who was struck black at the side: …
Puuu ~
Puffing out a mouthful of black smoke, she looked at Ying Luo with dead fish eyes. "This is the reason!"
Ying Luo: "…"
Immediately after, the second bolt of Tribulation Lightning struck down with a loud boom. Just as it was about to strike Zhu Yao, she raised her head and glared at it. "Are you done yet?"
Creak!
The Tribulation Lightning stopped in midair. It could not go up, nor could it go down.
It had really gotten addicted to striking her, right? "Just who's going to form her Azoth Core?"
That bolt of Tribulation Lightning seemed to be extremely conflicted. It creaked and twisted above Ying Luo's head, then creaked and twisted above Zhu Yao's head. It spun back and forth a few times, as though it was dancing.
A moment later, as though it had finally found a compromise, it suddenly turned into a thin streak of light that could not be seen clearly.
Then, it spat on her face.
And then, it disappeared with satisfaction.
The subsequent bolts of Tribulation Lightning struck like cannons. Only after a total of eighty-one bolts did it calm down.
Zhu Yao: "…" This Tribulation Lightning definitely has a grudge against me. It won't let me go even after this.
Ying Luo: "…" So this is the Lightning Spirit Vein? How mystical.
— — — —
The girl Ying Luo had formed her Azoth Core, but the one being struck was still her!
There were still three hundred and sixty-five days until the next Inter-Sect Tournament.
Zhu Yao used this time to help her improve a few of her Arts and strengthen her Sword Arts. Regretfully, the girl did not comprehend Sword Intent. Thinking about it, things like Sword Intent depended on luck as well. Back then, she only comprehended it when she was on the verge of death.
Of course, just in case, Zhu Yao taught her a few Sealing Arts as well.
"Forcefully activating the seal with spiritual energy will bring great harm to your body. Unless absolutely necessary, do not use it lightly."
"I understand, girl." Ying Luo patted on her chest. "Oh right, is the Devil Smiting Inscription the same?"
"The Devil Smiting Inscription is different from others." Zhu Yao explained with a sunken voice. "Even a God can only use this seal once in their entire lives. If we were to use it, we'll be done for. "
"It's that amazing?" Ying Luo was startled for a moment, before nodding. "Don't worry about me."
Why was she even more worried now?
— — — —
A year later, the Inter-Sect Tournament.
"Ying Luo, this is Point Formation Clan."
"That's right, the mountain behind Point Formation Clan."
"You know where the mystic artifacts are?"
"I don't, but most mystic artifacts are kept in the Spiritual Artifact Warehouse."
"Then what about the Spiritual Artifact Warehouse?"
"I say, girl Yu Yao, as a mighty first-rate Deity Sect, there are naturally countless mystic artifacts and treasures. How can it be that easy to find them? You have to be patient. "
"I do have patience, but can you explain to me, what does finding mystic artifacts have to do with lying here and peeking at other people bathing?"
"…"
The corner of Ying Luo's lips twitched, a hint of awkwardness flashed past her eyes. She chuckled and said. "Girl Yu Yao, I'm just passing by. It's great to have a feast for my eyes. "
Zhu Yao glanced at her, and then pointed in the opposite direction. "But the Spiritual Artifact Warehouse that we asked about is over there."
"Uh …" Her expression stiffened, and she waved her hand. "Don't mind such details."
It's hard to not mind, alright!? The hell, this old lady here has been squatting next to this bathtub for an hour. You didn't even plan on finding mystic artifacts in the first place, and you're purely here to peek at other people bathing, right?
"I'm leaving!" If you want a pervert, go ahead. Please don't trample on my pride as a pure girl.
"Haah, don't don't don't … If you leave, I will definitely be discovered. Just treat it as helping me out, girl Yu Yao, big sis Yu Yao, Sovereign Yu Yao, Aunt Yu Yao …"
Your sister's aunt! She definitely can't tolerate this! Zhu Yao walked faster and faster.
"Yu Yao …" The girl was still struggling, when she suddenly blanked. "Eh, someone's here."
Hmph, she didn't want to look.
"Ya, he's taking off his clothes!"
Hmph hmph, she wasn't interested in a man's body at all.
"Ya, he's even taking off his pants!"
Hmph hmph hmph …
"Where? How's his figure? Does he have an eight pack? "Zhu Yao returned like a gust of wind, and squatted next to Ying Luo.
