Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Although at that time, Su Xiyue forcefully suppressed Qin Yu and gained eleven streams of warm currents, feeling that it was already good enough and useful.

But now.

Su Xiyue felt they were still too thin, too weak, too few!

She wanted to figure out what these warm currents were, but until now, she had achieved nothing.

”He...”

Su Xiyue couldn’t help but think of the Qi Refining Fourth Layer junior cultivator whose name she didn’t even know.

She didn’t ask.

Because Su Xiyue could see he was very cautious, even if she asked, it might not be useful.

Thinking of him made this First Fairy’s emotions quite complex, and she didn’t even know how to describe it.

Defiled her purity.

She certainly hated him, even wanting to kill him.

But, that annoying guy brought her new hope.

Because aside from recovering the injuries, these few days, she could clearly feel her root bone was also enhancing, and visibly so.

As long as there is enough time, it’s very possible her root bone could advance further!

As an Immortal Sect Saintess, she found it absurd and unbelievable, but the tangible improvements convinced her that everything was real.

If...

If her root bone could advance further, perhaps the current difficulties facing the Immortal Sect could be easily resolved!

Sadly.

Sadly the warm currents were too weak, even though her root bone was improving, this process might take decades, or even... longer!

Su Xiyue’s brows furrowed deeply at some non-apparent time.

Back then Liu Zixiao came too hurriedly, fearing some traces might be discovered, she hadn’t thought deeply about things, only now realizing that junior cultivator’s importance.

Now, he must have fled long ago, whereabouts unknown.

In the vast world, where should she search?!

Su Xiyue lightly opened her eyes, seeing the dappled shadows outside the window, her cheeks still bearing a few weak shades of pale, yet her transcendent aura was unmistakable.

At this moment, with footsteps quietly approaching, a graceful and mature woman entered, her gaze fell on Xiyue, noticing her slightly pale cheeks, asked with some concern: ”Xiyue, have your injuries improved?”

After speaking, she swung her delicate hand, retrieving some spirit medicine and pills from her storage ring, placing them carefully within Su Xiyue’s reach.

”Thank you Aunt Liu for your concern, the injuries have healed greatly.”

Liu Zixiao was sent with her, a person who can be trusted.

Hearing this, Liu Zixiao nodded gently, with a hint of reassurance flashing in her eyes. Then, she sat next to Xiyue, her tone carrying a hint of inquiry: ”That’s good. However, the Sect Leader privately asked me where you went those two days? Why couldn’t I find you, not even sensing a trace...”

Su Xiyue is Cyan Mountain Sect’s Saintess, essentially the future of the Immortal Sect, her importance is self-evident, absolutely no mistakes can be made!

During those few days she disappeared, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect nearly wanted to personally step into the mortal world.

However, hearing the words, Su Xiyue’s expression condensed slightly, lapsing into silence.

Actually, Liu Zixiao had asked multiple times on the day itself, only to receive vague responses, and later she avoided answering altogether.

Not that she intentionally withheld information.

Firstly, she was unwilling to reveal her true situation.

She knew well, once she spoke of almost irrevocable injuries from using forbidden techniques, it would cause a storm in the sect.

Moreover, should she admit that while hiding, she was bullied by a Qi Refining Fourth Layer junior cultivator?!

How could Su Xiyue speak of such things?

Seeing her somewhat lost, Liu Zixiao couldn’t help but express concern, ”Xiyue, you seem weighed down with worries, did something happen?”

”Tell your Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu will handle it for you!”

Daily, this Immortal Sect Saintess was of clean mind and focused on Dao, such a demeanor was truly rare.

If not for the elders of the Immortal Sect insisting that the Saintess descends the mountain for experience, coincidentally restraining the Hundred Sword Sect’s arrogance, how would such an accident occur?!

Su Xiyue did not respond.

”Alright, since you don’t want to say, then rest peacefully in the room.”

Liu Zixiao sighed softly, with a trace of concern flickering across her brow, deeply aware of this Saintess’s disposition, further questioning was futile, so she got up and left.

However, before leaving, she inadvertently glanced at the motionless sitting Su Xiyue.

For some reason, she always felt there were some subtle changes in Su Xiyue, but what exactly, she couldn’t articulate.

She ended up shaking her head, carrying a trace of perplexity and care, gently closed the door.

Returning to her residence.

She slowly took out a jade-like token from her sleeve, lightly touching it with her fingers, Spiritual Power quietly surged, instantly, the token seemed infused with life, emanating a soft glow.

In a moment, a voice emerged from the token, transcending the spatial boundary, sounding within the room: ”Liu Zixiao, did you get to the bottom of it? What exactly happened those two days?”

Hearing this, Liu Zixiao rolled her eyes, muttering inwardly: You’re not unaware of our Saintess’s temperament.

If she doesn’t want to say, no one can get it out!

But of course, she dared not voice this, for the person opposite was the Cyan Mountain Sect’s Sect Leader.

”Sect Leader, I observed the Saintess’s Qi Mechanism seemed a bit unstable, but she doesn’t seem gravely harmed...”

Liu Zixiao was helpless, she had heard Su Xiyue seemed to have used the forbidden technique, yet wanted to check her injuries, Su Xiyue just wouldn’t allow it.

What could she do?

”That should be false news, against those old dogs from the Hundred Sword Sect, how could Xiyue use forbidden techniques?”

”Those two days she should have been avoiding that Demon Sect demoness, blocking her aura, so I couldn’t sense it...”

In that situation, Su Xiyue waiting for an opportunity, hiding her tracks was also normal!

Though she, as Yunlan Domain’s First Fairy, Cyan Mountain Sect’s Saintess, being chased by the Demon Sect demoness, such stories are a loss of face, not good to speak of.

The less Su Xiyue explained, the more possible this became!

”Xiyue isn’t really harmed?”

The Sect Leader opposite seemed somewhat incredulous.

”Sect Leader, could I possibly deceive you?”

Liu Zixiao was quite confident.

Though she couldn’t ascertain Su Xiyue’s internal condition, Qi Mechanism doesn’t deceive.

It could at least illustrate Su Xiyue’s injuries have stabilized.

If she had indeed used forbidden techniques, how could her injuries stabilize so easily?!

”That’s good, bring Xiyue back promptly, I am worried about her out there.”

Hearing this, the Sect Leader stopped doubting, for hiding while being chased for two days is logical.

”But Sect Leader, the Ruins Rift...”

”Select someone else then!”

The conversation cut off abruptly.

On the other end, the tightly furrowed Dai Mei of Cyan Mountain Sect’s Sect Leader seemed to condense myriad thoughts. Her words were casual, yet couldn’t conceal deep worries within.

This descent by the Saintess was meant to hone her skills, build reputation, stabilize the sect’s foundation.

But if not only failing to fulfill expectations, instead facing defeat and returning injured, it would surely become the best excuse for those undying old ones within the sect.

”Hmph, don’t even think about succeeding!”
