Chapter 362: Chapter 201: Underworld Member_6

A few days ago, hundreds of Fetal Breathing Realm cultivators besieged Luoxia Mountain. She had already guessed that the mastermind’s strength must be formidable and deeply hidden.

It’s not certain that Tingfeng Valley could uncover it, and even if they did, they wouldn’t dare to speak of it.

For now, they can only take a step back, find other forces to vent their anger on, and use a warning tactic to set an example.

Among those hundreds of Fetal Breathing Realm cultivators, there must be some people from noble families and Immortal Sects mixed in.

Those loose cultivators have no fixed place of residence and are difficult to deal with.

Immortal Sect families usually only act against loose cultivators when they have absolute certainty of killing them.

Otherwise, should they escape, the Qi Cultivation Realm disciples of Luoxia Mountain would not dare to venture outside again.

A Fetal Breathing Realm cultivator hiding in the shadows, specializing in hunting young ones in training, can be quite the headache.

In contrast, noble family Immortal Sects are different.

They mostly have fixed mountain gates and abodes. Once they are identified, they can prepare thoroughly and then use thunderous means to kill all their disciples and clan members!

The cold, stern man nodded upon hearing this and immediately turned to leave.

“Junior Brother Tu, do not act too impulsively on this trip. Try to get the information without causing conflict.” Le Zhiyi thought for a moment and advised.

Luoxia Mountain now has Golden Core Realm cultivators in place, but it is not advisable to make enemies with nearby forces.

Otherwise, if they provoke some reclusive old-timers, who knows if they would step forward with righteous intent?

The cold, stern man’s steps paused slightly, then he turned and cupped his hands before leaving the Sect Hall.

Afterwards, Le Zhiyi arranged for some corresponding matters and sent everyone away.

She slowly stood up and looked at Shen Wen’an. Suddenly, her brow furrowed as she said, “Wen’an, are you injured?”

Shen Wen’an cupped his hands: “I encountered some unexpected events, and the sword embryo was damaged.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Qiuling immediately looked at him with concern and said:

“Who harmed you?”

“How did it damage your sword embryo?”

Shen Wen’an squeezed out a slight smile and said: “It’s nothing serious; it will recover in time.”

The cracks on his sword embryo were indeed not too large, and the repair would not be too difficult.

Le Zhiyi glanced at him and said, “Qiuling, later bring that Earth Spirit Pill to Wen’an for him to take.”

The Earth Spirit Pill is a special elixir specifically for a cultivator’s immortal embryo.

Years ago, when Shen Wen’an fought alone against four Fetal Breathing Realm cultivators of Hundred Beasts Mountain, rumors spread that his body was shattered, and his sword embryo was damaged.

Wei Qiuling had brought that Earth Spirit Pill to the Shen Family, ready to give it to him for recuperation.

But it was not used back then.

Wei Qiuling nodded and immediately left the Sect Hall to retrieve the elixir from the treasury.

Seeing this, Le Zhiyi shook her head slightly and sighed, thinking to herself:

“This girl… has truly fallen in love.”

“I wonder if it’s a blessing or a curse.”

Cultivator partners share their divine spirits, ultimately being more of a pure cultivation companion, different from mortal couples.

Wei Qiuling’s various actions now were enough to prove she had developed true feelings for Shen Wen’an.

On this matter, Le Zhiyi was also quite conflicted.

The greatest taboo for cultivators is the Five Thievish Emotions. These can become the deadliest heart demons during breakthroughs or when facing certain calamities in the future.

However, since the two are already partners, she couldn’t persuade them otherwise and could only let things take their course.

Wei Qiuling soon brought the Earth Spirit Pill over.

“Wen’an, take this Pill first.”

Handing over the jade box, Wei Qiuling said.

Shen Wen’an hesitated slightly but did not refuse. He directly consumed the elixir from the jade box.

The medicinal power of the Earth Spirit Pill dissolved in his mouth, slowly flowing into his Dantian, beginning to repair the damaged sword embryo.

What he didn’t expect was that the eerie black energy rooted in the sword embryo emerged at this time, intending to seize some of the Earth Spirit Pill’s medicinal power.

Shen Wen’an’s heart sank, and he immediately calmed his mind, forcibly stopping the eerie black energy.

He had acted fast enough, but the medicinal power of the Earth Spirit Pill was still partially taken by the bizarre black energy.

After absorbing some of the Earth Spirit Pill’s power, the bizarre black energy did not undergo significant changes, still firmly rooted in the sword embryo, not moving further.

Shen Wen’an operated the Supreme Mysterious Sword Scripture to refine the Earth Spirit Pill’s power, repairing the sword embryo while also keeping a part of his attention on the eerie black energy to prevent any sudden disturbance.

Time passed quickly, over an hour.

Assisted by the Earth Spirit Pill’s power, the two cracks on her sword embryo noticeably shrank.

It will require some time to meticulously polish and can then be completely restored.

“How is it?”

Seeing Shen Wen’an awaken, Wei Qiuling asked with concern.

Shen Wen’an nodded slightly: “Much better. With a few more months of polishing, it can be fully restored.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Qiuling showed a relieved expression.

Observing them, Le Zhiyi shook her head again with a smile: “Alright, don’t be so lovey-dovey in front of me. Go take a walk.”

Wei Qiuling blushed slightly, hurriedly saying, “Master…”

“Go along now.”

Le Zhiyi smiled faintly.

The two exchanged a glance, cupped their hands, and left the Sect Hall.

“It’s been a while since I returned to Yangnao Land. Is everything well at home?”

In the hallway outside the Sect Hall, Wei Qiuling spoke gently.

For over two years, she first received notification of a plot against Luoxia Mountain, rushing from the Shen Family to Yunzhong County for fear of another attack on Yunzhong County City.

Then, problems arose on the sect’s side, forcing her, Luo Yao, and other disciples from Yangnao Land to return hastily.

Two years had passed in a blink.

“Everything is fine. My older brother successfully broke through to the Third Realm of Body Cultivation.”

“Based on the time, Chongming and Chonghong’s children should also be born soon.”

“Oh?” Wei Qiuling responded with a peculiar expression.

“About Chongming’s side…”

“It’s him and Youran’s,” replied Shen Wen’an.

“Chonghong is also going to be a father,” Wei Qiuling murmured, then said, “With elder brother’s breakthrough, the Shen Family’s power should increase again.”

“By the way, Chongming previously asked me about innate spiritual Qi; was it for father?”

Shen Wen’an pondered for a moment.

“Mu Chang and Mu Yan are now both at Qi Cultivation Perfection, both having Earth Spirit Roots. I’m not sure if it’s for them.”

“As for father…”

Thinking about his father lacking a spirit root and how difficult it is to reach Fetal Breathing Realm, Shen Wen’an felt deeply troubled.

Gathering five uniform-grade Five Elements Innate Spiritual Qi is much harder than finding a single strand of Upper Grade Innate Spiritual Qi.

Noticing his expression, Wei Qiuling’s beautiful eyes flickered. After seemingly making a decision, she smiled softly: “Don’t worry about the innate spiritual Qi matter.”

“I can’t promise middle-grade, but there’s still a chance to gather five strands of lower grade Five Elements Innate Spiritual Qi.”

Shen Wen’an nodded.

The two walked side by side for a moment, and Wei Qiuling spoke again: “Once things here stabilize, let’s return together to Yangnao Land?”

Shen Wen’an seemed stunned upon hearing this.

Being cultivation partners, with their divine spirits intertwined, he believed he understood Wei Qiuling well.

But he realized that Wei Qiuling seemed to have changed.

“Is it not possible?”

Seeing him gaze blankly at her, Wei Qiuling asked with some panic.

Shen Wen’an’s lips curved slightly into a smile as he nodded: “Then I’ll go tell Senior Sister Lingshan.”

When Chu Yuanfeng’s group left, he asked them to convey a message to Lingshan Sword Immortal, saying he would visit later.

Since he plans to stay at Luoxia Mountain now, it’s polite to inform beforehand.

Wei Qiuling nodded slightly.

“Alright.”

“You go ahead, and I’ll prepare the house for you.”
