After standing up from the bed, I stretched. I felt my entire body calm and full of Dao energy. An indescribable sense of comfort enveloped my body.
After reaching the Perfect Acupoint Sealing Perfection, the Dao energy in the Heaven Meridians would form a Heavenly Cycle that would rapidly circulate. As long as I didn't use too much Dao energy at once, I would be able to maintain the abundance of Dao energy in my body at all times.
It was said that when a Fengshui Master was in this realm, they could enter a state of enlightenment at any time. They could absorb the power of the stars into their body and break through to the Glory of Knowledge realm.
Of course, this was only a legend. Other than those great Daoxuan experts in history, there were very few rumors of star picking. Especially in recent times, there were no records of it.
At that moment, I recalled what Nangong had told me. If I cultivated the dark green power and broke through to Glory of Knowledge, I would definitely be able to pick stars into my body.
The dark green power was already stronger than Dao energy. If I could pick stars and enter Glory of Knowledge, who knows how much stronger I would be. Just thinking about it made me yearn for it.
It was impossible for me to say that I wasn't tempted, but the corresponding threat was too huge.
Heaven Master and Earth Master were two completely different realms. At that time, even if my strength exceeded a normal Glory of Knowledge realm, it would be useless. As long as a Heaven Master wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be able to go against them.
I sat on the side of the bed and pondered for a long time. In the end, I sighed and gave up on this unrealistic thought.
Since I had reached the Perfect Acupoint Sealing Perfection, the next step was to consider Glory of Knowledge.
Based on the rules of the Metaphysics Association, after reaching the Perfect Acupoint Sealing Perfection, I had to report to the headquarters. Then, I would have to test my talent of the five elements and calculate the amount of Bright Stones needed. Then, I would have to wait for the Metaphysics Association to distribute the Bright Stones. Finally, I had to complete the final step of absorbing the Bright Stones to break through to Glory of Knowledge.
During this time, the Fengshui Master couldn't leave the headquarters.
This rule wasn't hard to understand. After all, Bright Stones were too precious. The Metaphysics Association wouldn't let the Bright Stones in their hands leak out.
However, I was still worried about a problem. After the Metaphysics Exchange Conference and the trip to Meizhou, the Lu family would definitely know that I had recovered my strength. They would most likely want to eliminate me to prevent future troubles. If I were to return to the Metaphysics Headquarters, I would be so close to the Lu family. The Lu family might get the news and cause some trouble.
After thinking for a while, I decided to talk to Ye Pianpian about this matter. The one who saved me last time was Grandpa Li. With his identity and status, it shouldn't be a problem for him to protect me in the Metaphysics Union.
It was just that he didn't know when he would return from the Fire God Temple.
After making my decision, I got up and went to look for Ye Pianpian.
She usually had a cold temperament. Now that she was in Mount Huang Guanshan, she did not know many people. At this time, she was probably still cultivating in the guest room.
I walked to her room and knocked on the door. However, no one answered.
I felt a little strange, so I tried to use my Dao Qi to sense it.
Although Ye Pianpian was powerful and I couldn't sense her realm, as long as she wasn't on guard, I could still sense her Dao Qi.
After checking, I felt the Dao Qi in the room. Ye Pianpian should be in her room. However, when I knocked on the door again, no one answered.
I frowned. Did something happen to Ye Pianpian?
She was acting strange when she met Ye Maolan this morning. She didn't do anything at that time. Could it be that Ye Maolan had turned around and subdued Ye Pianpian?
With this thought, I became anxious. I didn't have time to think too much. I pushed the door of Ye Pianpian's room open and rushed in.
After entering the room, I was dumbfounded. Ye Pianpian was sitting on the bed. Her hands were holding the blanket in front of her body. She looked at me with a panicked expression. From her exposed shoulders, it seemed she wasn't wearing any clothes.
I blushed in embarrassment. I stuttered and explained, "I knocked on the door, but no one answered. I thought something had happened to her."
Ye Pianpian didn't blame me. She looked a little embarrassed. She stammered, "I was … sleeping. I … I didn't hear you. You go out first."
Of course, I didn't dare to linger. I hurriedly left the room and closed the door.
However, I was puzzled when I got out of the room.
With Ye Pianpian's realm, not to mention knocking on the door, even if I used my dark green energy to hide myself and quietly sneak to the door, I probably wouldn't be able to hide from her. How could she not hear such a loud knock on the door?
Moreover, even if she was sleeping, she didn't need to take off her clothes and sleep naked, right?
It was really strange. I leaned against the door and thought for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out.
After that, the room was very quiet. I didn't know what Ye Pianpian was doing. Ten minutes later, a voice came from the room. "I'm fine … you can come in."
I pushed open the door again and stuck my head out to take a look. Ye Pianpian was sitting on the chair beside the bed. I then walked in. At this moment, Ye Pianpian had already returned to her usual cold and indifferent appearance. There was no longer any trace of panic. After I sat opposite her, she faintly asked me, "What's the matter?"
Although the two of us had known each other for a long time, and she had even taken care of me by my bedside for over a month, when we talked, she always spoke in a lukewarm tone. If I didn't know her personality, I might have thought that I had done something to offend her.
I grinned and told her that I had reached the tenth acupoint and that I was going to the headquarters of the Metaphysics Society. Then, I asked her when Gramps Li would return. If the Lu family didn't give up on harming me, would it be dangerous for me to go to the headquarters?
Ye Pianpian looked at me in surprise. "You reached the tenth acupoint in such a short time?
It hasn't even been a year, right? "
"About that … Yeah."
I nodded awkwardly. After all, Ye Pianpian was the most talented person in the Metaphysics Association before me. From sealing pressure point to Glory of Knowledge, she had used less than three years, which had already shocked everyone. Now that my talent had surpassed hers, even the time it took for me to break through had far surpassed hers. I felt a little guilty saying such a thing in front of her.
Ye Pianpian didn't seem to mind. After a slight shock, she quickly regained her calmness. After thinking for a while, she told me, "Grandpa Li needs around half a month, but you don't have to worry about the Lu family. As long as Grandpa Li returns, you'll definitely be safe in the headquarters. No one dares to harm you, and no one can harm you."
Her words were full of confidence. It was obvious that she had faith in Gramps Li.
I let out a breath of relief. If that was the case, then I had nothing to worry about.
I nodded. "That's fine. We'll stay on Mount Huang Guan for a few more days. When Gramps Li returns, we'll depart and return to the headquarters."
Hearing my words, Ye Pianpian furrowed her brows and said, "Although you've reached the tenth acupoint, there's still a long way to go to complete mastery. Don't be impatient. Stay here and cultivate until you reach complete mastery. It won't be too late to leave for the headquarters then."
I smiled embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I've already reached the complete mastery of my acupoint …"
Ye Pianpian was slightly shocked. She concentrated and looked at me in disbelief. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, but she didn't because it was my privacy. She only nodded and said, "That … That's fine. Grandpa Li will contact me when he returns. I'll bring you to meet up with them and return to the headquarters together. That way, we won't have to worry about the Lu family causing trouble."
I was overjoyed. Gramps Li had done me a great favor, but it was strange that I hadn't seen him after staying at his place for so long. It would be best if I could see gramps this time.
Also, the old gramps had just returned from the Fire God Temple. He might even have a large amount of Fire Obsidian Stones on him. If my Five Elemental Talent was tested to be of the fire attribute, the old gramps might not go through the Metaphysics Association and directly give me the Fire Obsidian Stones. That would be great.
After we agreed on this matter, I was about to say goodbye to Ye Pianpian. But before I left, I suddenly recalled Ye Pianpian's strange behavior, as well as her strange behavior when she met Ye Mauran in the morning. I was a little worried.
After hesitating for a moment, I opened my mouth and asked her, "Are you … alright today?"
I was just asking casually, but who knew that Ye Pianpian would suddenly freeze in place. She stared at me with her big eyes and two sparkling teardrops gushed out of her eyes.
I instantly panicked. Ever since I met Ye Pianpian, she had always been arrogant and indifferent. Sometimes, she could even be very strong. She had never shown any weakness … Why was she crying for no reason?
