That being said, Mu Qingxiao was only trying to scare her. As Elder Shushan and Xu Changqing was Shushan's disciple, he couldn't do anything to him.
Moreover, Xu Changqing had Old Man Qingwei's protection.
He had his own principles and couldn't be so crazy over a Water Spiritual Pearl. Of course, this wasn't a reason for him to give up the Water Spiritual Pearl.
Zi Xuan glanced at her belly subconsciously and glanced deeply at Mu Qingxiao.
At this moment, she realized what kind of person was the scariest. A person who knew all your secrets and didn't abide by his principles was the scariest.
Because no one knew what kind of crazy thing he would do in the next second.
Mu Qingxiao didn't threaten her when he saw her hesitant look. Instead, he gave her enough time to think.
Zi Xuan was a smart woman and at the same time, a woman who was deeply infatuated with love. For love, she was willing to be a moth to a flame, even risking her life for someone.
Therefore, she would make the right decision even without Mu Qingxiao's words.
After a moment of silence, Zi Xuan said slowly, "Even if I don't give you the Water Spiritual Pearl, you will still take it away by force, right?"
"Yes, I will take the Water Spiritual Pearl."
Mu Qingxiao would indeed take it away, but without harming the little life in her belly, he would take the Water Spiritual Pearl away.
"You're right. I have Nuwa's direct inheritance. Even if I don't have the Water Spiritual Pearl, I won't die. I can re-cultivate if I lose my realm. I will give you the Water Spiritual Pearl, but I have a request."
Although it was the first time they met, Zi Xuan was smart enough to see that Mu Qingxiao wasn't a bad person.
Otherwise, there was no need for him to talk nonsense with her. It would be better to just take the Water Spiritual Pearl away by force. He had the ability to do so.
However, she could also see that he was determined to get the Water Spiritual Pearl. Instead of asking him to do it, she might as well use the Water Spiritual Pearl in exchange for a request.
Mu Qingxiao looked at Zi Xuan in surprise and said, "You didn't disappoint me. You are a smart woman and know how to make a choice. Although it's not necessary, I promise you."
"Could it be that you can guess my request?"
Zi Xuan was a little surprised. She didn't say anything, but the latter actually agreed to her request.
"It has to be Xu Changqing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Xuan smiled.
"Although he can't remember our past at the moment, I believe that one day, he will remember. I hope that he can take the position of Sect Leader Shushan. You promised me just now."
Mu Qingxiao was slightly taken aback. She didn't even think about it before she said, "I promise you."
He had no reason to refuse, because in the near future, Xu Changqing would become the sect leader of Shushan, and he wouldn't need to do anything at all.
"Alright, I need to disperse my cultivation. Please wait outside for a moment."
Mu Qingxiao took a deep look at Zi Xuan. She deserved respect for making such a decision for a man.
Just as he walked out of the bamboo building, he saw the Saintess leaning against the fence. Her face was extremely pale and she was looking at him with an unkind expression.
Mu Qingxiao raised a smirk on his face and said, "What, the Saintess's duty is not only to protect the descendants of Nuwa, but also to eavesdrop?"
"Hmph, I will find you for today's matter sooner or later." With a cold snort, the Saintess glanced at the bamboo building and turned to leave.
"Xiu …"
Her jade-like hand caught the thing that attacked her, and the Saintess frowned. She opened her palm, and there was a round, jade-like medicinal pill the size of a longan. Its fragrance assailed her nose.
Although she didn't know what level of medicinal pill it was, a strange feeling rose in the Saintess's heart. She looked back, but Mu Qingxiao's figure was already gone.
Zi Xuan's cultivation was at the Dacheng Stage. If she wanted to disperse her cultivation, protect the fetus, and smoothly take out the Water Spirit Pearl, it would take a certain amount of time.
Mu Qingxiao didn't care about the short few days. After leaving the barrier of the Spirit Creek Valley, he didn't leave. Instead, he sat cross-legged by the river and meditated.
He calmed his heart and mind, facing the sky.
After running the cultivation method, a small vortex appeared above Mu Qingxiao. The surrounding spiritual energy gathered at an extremely fast speed and finally poured into his body.
The battle with the Saintess just now gave him a judgment of his own strength.
He could use the Immortal Grade Sword Art at the peak of the Dacheng Stage. He could seriously injure the Saintess. If the latter was unlucky, it wouldn't be strange if she was killed by a sword.
However, the Saintess was a poison cultivator, and the battle progressed too quickly. She didn't have time to use it before she was frightened by Mu Qingxiao.
It was precisely because of this that Mu Qingxiao took the initiative and could seriously injure her with a sword. If he was fighting against a Dacheng Stage Sword Cultivator, the situation might be different.
Moreover, using the Immortal Grade Sword Art required a vast amount of spiritual energy. The consumption was not something ordinary cultivators could bear.
If it was an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Dacheng Stage Sword Art, not to mention whether they could use it or not, even if they could, it would cause their spiritual sea to dry up in an instant.
At that time, the damage to one's foundation would be minor. In serious cases, one might directly become a cripple.
Mu Qingxiao could use the Immortal Grade Sword Art at the Dacheng Stage because the level of his cultivation method was too high. His spiritual energy was ten times or even a hundred times purer than others.
Even so, he had only used the Imperial Sword Demon Subduing Technique once, and one-fifth of the Yin-Yang Spirit Qi in the Yin-Yang Lake had been absorbed.
This one-fifth of the spiritual energy needed Mu Qingxiao to continuously absorb spiritual energy for three days to replenish it.
As time passed, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the spiritual energy in Mu Qingxiao's Yin-Yang Lake had been filled, but the spiritual energy in his body was still in a saturated state. He couldn't absorb even a trace of it.
Moreover, the Soul Sword in the Yin-Yang Jade had temporarily stopped refining the Solitary Incineration Sword.
Mu Qingxiao knew that this was because of the bottleneck. Unless he broke through the bottleneck and smoothly entered the Tribulation Stage, his physical body would transform again, and he could continue to absorb spiritual energy.
He was also quite helpless about this. If he couldn't enter the Tribulation Stage in a day, even if he continuously meditated, it was equivalent to wasting time.
As old man Qingwei said, the Tribulation Stage was the last realm of mortal cultivation. Even the Destined Child couldn't break through at will. It required time and even more comprehension.
Experience was the most suitable method for Mu Qingxiao.
However, it wasn't that there was no way. Old man Qingwei said that he might break through once the opportunity arrived, so Mu Qingxiao had to search for it.
It was absolutely impossible to cultivate in the Immortal Sword and Immortal Realm for a hundred years.
Therefore, Mu Qingxiao planned to go directly to the Battle Break Realm after getting the Water Spirit Pearl. Not completing the mission there was one thing, but the most important thing was that there was a way to break through the Tribulation Stage.
There was a way to break through the Tribulation Stage in the Tou She Ancient Emperor Cave. He just needed to gather all the Unusual Fires.
Mu Qingxiao had such strength now, and he hadn't gone back for a long time. He was also a little worried. After all, the Little Doctor's Woeful Poison Body had always been a problem.
