While they waited, people peeked into the hall from time to time. They didn't seem to have any ill intentions. They were just curious.
After all, it was rare for guests to appear in a place like Fangcun Mountain. Most of the time, it was some foreign cultivator who accidentally trespassed and was stopped by the Sunshine cultivators guarding the border.
Furthermore, Haitang's status in the Immortal Spiritual Peak wasn't low. The cultivators who came from the same peak as her wanted to know what kind of guest Haitang brought back.
In the end, they were greatly disappointed. They quickly lost interest and dispersed.
In the face of these curious gazes, Lu Ye could only pretend that he didn't see them and wait quietly. Haitang went straight to the Immortal Spiritual Peak and greeted her master, Su Yuqing, in the hall.
A Sunshine cultivator's spiritual sense was extremely powerful. When Haitang brought Lu Ye into Fangcun Mountain, she had already sensed it.
When Haitang went missing, she personally went out to investigate and found traces of the ghost ship. She knew that her most outstanding disciple had accidentally entered the ghost ship. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unable to find her. However, even if she was a Sunshine cultivator, she didn't dare to enter the ghost ship to save Lu Ye. Once she entered, she would have to abide by the ghost ship's rules. She wouldn't be able to use the advantage of being a Sunshine cultivator.
If that happened, not only would she fail to save Lu Ye, but she would also lose her life.
In her heartache, she could only give up. She thought that she would never see her disciple again. Who would have thought that she would come back on her own and even brought a human man with her?
Su Yuqing was still doubtful. Could it be that my guess was wrong? My disciple didn't fall into the ghost ship? But if that's the case, why can't I find her?
In the hall, Haitang's eyes were red. Her narrow escape from the ghost ship had left her with lingering fear. When she was with Lu Ye, she could still suppress her emotions. However, after seeing her most respected master, she could no longer suppress her emotions.
She was like a child who was bullied outside and felt wronged when she saw her parents. However, she was a Constellation cultivator and wouldn't cry like a child.
Seeing her like this, Su Yuqing sighed. She was about to scold her, but now she couldn't be harsh. She raised her hand and said, "Get up."
A gentle force lifted Haitang up.
"Where did you go? Why couldn't I find you? "Su Yuqing asked.
She was really curious. Logically speaking, with her Sunshine realm spiritual sense, she should be able to find Haitang easily as long as she didn't run too far away. However, she didn't find anything during her previous search. Now that she found traces of the ghost ship, it was only natural for her to come to such a conclusion.
Haitang lowered her head. "Your disciple is unfilial and has made you worry. Your disciple went out to collect spiritual jades and ended up entering the Specter Ship by mistake and got trapped …"
Su Yuqing was surprised. "Are you really trapped on the ghost ship?" It seemed that her deduction was right.
.......... "She knew her disciple's background very well. Although he wasn't bad, he definitely didn't have the ability to escape from Specter Ship. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given up waiting back then. It was precisely because she concluded that her disciple would definitely die if he were to fall into Specter Ship that Mount Fangcun once again set sail and left.
"This disciple's luck is pretty good. I was saved by someone else and was able to escape. It was Junior Martial Brother Lu who came back with this disciple." Su Yuqing's interest was piqued. At her level of cultivation, there were very few things in the world that could interest her. But since it was related to Specter Ship, she had to find out more about it. Especially since that 'Junior Martial Brother Lu' could save someone from Specter Ship. What kind of ability is that?
She had secretly checked Lu Ye's cultivation before and knew that he was only in the early Constellation Realm. It was strange that someone in the early Constellation Realm could do something that even she, a Sunshine cultivator, couldn't do.
He thought to himself, Could it be that there was something wrong with his investigation?
She extended her spiritual sense to the guest hall in the valley where Lu Ye was. After checking carefully, she confirmed that he was only in the early Constellation Realm.
In the guest hall, Lu Ye's body tensed up. He felt a Sunshine cultivator's spiritual sense spying on him. However, the spying wasn't hidden. It was an open investigation.
Haitang's master was probably spying on him. It was a good thing that this kind of observation came and went quickly.
The other party's actions were normal. Lu Ye didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. After all, he was a guest.
In the main hall of the Immortal Spirit Mountain, Haitang recounted her experience on Specter Ship. Originally, she wanted to keep it short, but under Su Yuqing's instructions, she had no choice but to recount everything in detail.
When she heard that Junior Martial Brother Lu had gone through nineteen reincarnations and finally passed the Specter Ship's test, even someone like Su Yuqing couldn't help but be shocked.
Although she had never been to Specter Ship, she knew a little about it. Coupled with her disciple's explanation, she naturally understood that the biggest problem a cultivator had to face when they were trapped in Specter Ship was the problem of their spiritual power reserves!
His disciple had only lasted seven cycles of reincarnation before his spiritual energy was completely depleted, and he could no longer continue.
That 'Junior Martial Brother Lu' had actually lasted nineteen reincarnations. Not only was his spiritual power not depleted, his strength wasn't affected at all. How terrifying was his spiritual power reserves?
It was impossible for a Constellation Mansion to have such a spiritual power reserve in the early stages. He must have a way to quickly recover his spiritual power!
Su Yuqing was even more shocked when she heard that Lu Ye had driven Specter Ship to defeat three Constellations Mansion Masters on his own and unleashed a golden beast that swallowed a Moon Jade Realm Master and several Constellations.
She carefully asked Haitang about the appearance and aura of that golden beast. Haitang naturally told her everything she knew.
Seeing Su Yuqing's thoughtful expression, Haitang cautiously said, "Master, from what I've seen, that golden beast shouldn't be Junior Martial Brother Lu's own ability. It might be a secret technique sealed in his weapon by an expert!"
Su Yuqing nodded. "Of course I know it's a sealing technique. But this kind of technique … I'm not as good as it!" Haitang was surprised. "Master can't do this?"
Su Yuqing sighed. "A normal sealing technique is naturally not a problem, but Specter Ship's internal rules are special. Unless there's a powerful expert, the sealing technique won't be able to exert its corresponding power on Specter Ship. This little guy surnamed Lu … has an expert behind him."
And it was definitely an expert who was more powerful than her.
Haitang couldn't help but be puzzled. As far as she knew, the Nine Heavens Realm where Junior Martial Brother Lu came from was only a newly promoted large-sized realm. There were only a bunch of early-stage Constellation Mansion Masters in the realm. There wasn't even a Moon Jade Realm, so where did this expert come from?
"Continue." Su Yuqing's words interrupted Haitang's thoughts. "He passed Specter Ship's test, so he can naturally leave. How did you leave?"
Haitang said, "It was Junior Apprentice-Brother Lu who brought me out …" She then talked about the treasures in the treasury and Lu Ye's final choice.
When she learned that Lu Ye was willing to give up the Great Yan Spirit Pearl worth a million spirit jades to bring Haitang out of Specter Ship, Su Yuqing couldn't help but be dazed.
To a Sunshine Realm cultivator like her, a million spirit jades were naturally nothing. However, to an early-stage Constellation Mansion Master, this was a huge fortune.
Moreover, the Great Yan Spirit Pearl's value could not be measured by the number of spirit jades. This thing was extremely helpful for cultivation and was a treasure that could only be found by chance.
In this world … there was actually such a person with such noble character?
"I also didn't expect Junior Martial Brother Lu to make such a choice in the end. I had already accepted my fate when I failed to pass Specter Ship's test. I thought I would never be able to escape in this life and would soon die on that ship. Who knew that Junior Martial Brother Lu would choose me in the end? After arguing with the fog in the treasury, he brought me out. However, because of this, Junior Martial Brother Lu didn't manage to take any treasures out of the treasury."
Su Yuqing looked at her disciple with a strange expression. "Did he take a fancy to you?" Otherwise, why would he make such a choice when they met by chance? Any rational cultivator in such an environment would choose the Great Yan Spirit Pearl, right?
Haitang shook her head. "It's not like that, Master. I've been with Junior Martial Brother Lu for many days, and I can confirm that he's a person with good character! The reason why he wanted to save me was that I gave him some help in the beginning. In the end, it was also because of me that he was able to defeat the third warship. Junior Martial Brother Lu is a person who knows how to repay kindness. "
Su Yuqing knew that although her disciple was inexperienced in the world, she was not stupid. She still had a good eye for people. Since she said so, then she was right. He did not make a choice because of her beauty, but because he really wanted to save her.
For a moment, she had a good impression of that kid surnamed Lu. Nowadays, there were fewer and fewer juniors with such a character.
Originally, if Haitang had simply brought a friend back, she would not have bothered. Now that she knew the twists and turns in this matter, Su Yuqing felt that it was necessary for her to meet him.
No matter what, her disciple had survived because of him, so she should give him some practical benefits. It could be considered that she had fulfilled a part of karma.
However, before she could say anything, Haitang said, "Master, Junior Martial Brother Lu came with me to Mount Fangcun this time because he has a request."
"What is it?"
Haitang said, "Three months ago, Junior Martial Brother Lu received news that one of his Senior Martial Sisters went missing. Later, when we went to investigate, we happened to discover the aura of Mount Fangcun. It was because of this that I was able to find the way back. Junior Martial Brother Lu suspects that his Senior Martial Sister might have mistakenly entered Mount Fangcun and is trapped here. Therefore, I would like to ask Master to help me find out if she can be reunited with Junior Martial Brother Lu."
