Fu Yanhong had probably already guessed that Yang Xuan was going to ask this question, and her face did not show any strange expression. Hearing his question, she said, "The Countercurrent Technique is a secret of my Fairy Palace. Throughout history, only the Palace Lord and the Palace Lord's successor have been able to cultivate it. I was wrongly favored by my master, and was taught the Countercurrent Technique. However, I am not proficient in it.
Yang Xuan did not expect her to be the next Palace Lord's successor. However, that was not the main point. He asked again, "Why don't you tell me about the origin of the Countercurrent Technique?"
Fu Hongyan said, "Senior, regarding the Countercurrent Technique, it can only be cultivated in a specific place in the Fairy Palace. Forgive me for not being able to tell you the specific method. As for the mystery behind it, I do not understand it very well."
She changed the topic and Yang Xuan understood.
The Countercurrent Technique was definitely the Fairy Palace's greatest secret. Not to mention that Fu Hongyan did not know much about it, even if she did, she would definitely not tell Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan did not expect to learn the secret from her. He would wait until they reached the Fairy Palace.
The road from the Ancient Temple to the Fairy Palace was very long. Helim was loitering outside. Yang Xuan could not use his own strength as it would easily attract Helim's attention. Therefore, he was not in a hurry and followed the Fairy Palace's caravan at a constant speed.
Along the way, Sun Xiaoya naturally did not look for Yang Xuan. Even if she accidentally saw him, she would turn her head to the sky and pretend not to see him.
Li Changfeng finally found an opportunity to stick to Sun Xiaoya like a sticky candy. He followed her everywhere, and he even enjoyed it.
He also did not provoke Yang Xuan again. He was probably afraid that Yang Xuan would rub him the wrong way.
On the other hand, Guo Xiaoxiang would occasionally run over to Yang Xuan to talk to him. She was very lively and chatty. She would tell Yang Xuan everything.
On this day, when the caravan passed by a city, they stopped outside the city because they had used up all of their supplies.
Fu Hongyan sent people to replenish the supplies. Yang Xuan had nothing to do, so he went into the city for a stroll.
Guo Xiaoxiang volunteered to be Yang Xuan's tour guide. Yang Xuan didn't refuse and let her go.
This city was very prosperous. There was an endless stream of horses and carriages in the city. People came and went. It was very lively.
Xiao Xiang had the temperament of a young girl. Everything she saw was new to her. She looked around at this stall and that stall. She even bought a lot of small toys. She was very happy.
Yang Xuan, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind. He walked around and blended into the crowd, all the while keeping an eye on Helim's movements.
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind. "Yang Xuan?"
Yang Xuan turned around to take a look. Ha, what a coincidence. It was actually that profiteer Bi Shi.
Guo Xiaoxiang blinked her big eyes in surprise. "So your name is Yang Xuan?"
There was nothing to hide. Yang Xuan nodded slightly.
Bi Shi walked over to take a look. It really was Yang Xuan. He was pleasantly surprised. "Damn, you didn't die."
Yang Xuan said unhappily, "What are you saying? Why are you here?"
Bi Shi seemed to be very happy, and said, "Didn't I just wander around? Why are you here?"
Yang Xuan didn't want to tell him his purpose. He said casually, "Passing by!"
Bi Shi looked at Guo Xiaoxiang beside Yang Xuan. He didn't know her, so he approached Yang Xuan and said in a low voice, "Hey, since we've met, it must be fate. There's a business deal here. Are you interested?"
"Not interested!" Yang Xuan refused in a single breath.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's not interesting!" Bi Shi shouted. "You haven't heard what business I'm talking about. I guarantee you'll make a lot of money with this deal."
Yang Xuan said unhappily, "I said I'm not interested. I'm not interested."
Bi Shi was embarrassed and didn't say anything.
At this time, Sun Xiaoya happened to pass by with a group of people. She saw Guo Xiaoxiang and Yang Xuan and frowned. "Xiaoxiang, why are you here? Come and help."
Guo Xiaoxiang reluctantly acknowledged, but didn't dare to disobey her senior sister's order. She could only slowly walk over and follow Sun Xiaoya.
Bi Shi didn't know Guo Xiaoxiang, but he recognized Sun Xiaoya. He knew she was from the Fairy Palace. He was surprised. "Why are you with the Fairy Palace?"
Yang Xuan was too lazy to explain. "Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving."
"Don't. The business deal I'm talking about is related to the Fairy Palace."
Related to the Fairy Palace?
Yang Xuan's interest was piqued. "What is it?"
Bi Shi looked left and right. "It's not convenient to talk here. Come with me."
Yang Xuan followed him to a secluded alley. Bi Shi then said mysteriously, "This matter is very mysterious. Do you know there's a legend about the Fairy Palace?"
Yang Xuan asked, "What legend?"
Bi Shi lowered his voice again. "Legend has it that the women of the Fairy Palace know magic and can turn back time. It's very mysterious."
Yang Xuan frowned.
He thought it wasn't a legend, it was real.
But how did a wandering Jianghu person like Bi Shi know this secret? It was strange.
Bi Shi saw that Yang Xuan didn't say anything and said proudly, "Think about it. To be able to turn back time, isn't that invincible? Other things aside, if I can turn back time, I'll bet on horses. I guarantee that I'll win every single one of them and make a huge profit. "
Yang Xuan impatiently interrupted his imagination. "What's going on?"
Bi Shi said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Listen to me."
He continued, "Not long ago, there was a rumor in Jianghu that a disciple of the Fairy Palace had defected. When she came out, she stole the treasure of the Fairy Palace. And this treasure is the key to turning back time."
There was such a thing?
Yang Xuan furrowed his brows and asked, "And then?"
"And then, I heard that this woman ran here. All the major Jianghu sects are looking for her. Think about it. If we can find this woman first and get that treasure, even if we don't use it, we can sell it. That's a lot of money." Bi Shi's eyes lit up.
Yang Xuan stared at him. "You're so kind. How can you tell me such a good thing?"
Bi Shi said, "Aren't I alone? I need to find a helper. How about it? We'll split it fifty-fifty. How about that?"
"How about it?" Yang Xuan said, "You believe such groundless rumors?"
Bi Shi was anxious. "Hey, don't doubt it. I heard that the biggest sect nearby, the Cang Lang Sect, has found the whereabouts of this woman."
Yang Xuan was about to say something when there was a commotion outside the alley.
The two of them looked over. It was a group of people wearing blue clothes. They were noisily walking past with two young men tied up.
"It's the Cang Lang Sect." Bi Shi shrank back and said.
Yang Xuan asked, "Is the Cang Lang Sect in this city?"
"No, but it's not far away. These two days, the Cang Lang Sect people are like crazy. They're capturing people everywhere. I don't know what they're doing." Bi Shi said. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He looked at Yang Xuan. "Could it be that they're looking for that woman?"
Yang Xuan looked at him and said, "Let them search. It has nothing to do with me."
"Don't. Aren't you interested in that treasure?" Bi Shi said anxiously.
"No …" Yang Xuan just said one word. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat and he stopped.
