After returning to the mountain gate, Ziyue first submitted the return receipt to the Internal Affairs Pavilion and went straight to his cave residence.
"Immortal Bai, you are back?"
"Hello, Immortal Bai!"
As soon as Ziyue returned to the cave residence, two surprised shouts came.
Gao Ming and Fu Yongyu quickly put down the work in their hands and quickly greeted him.
"It seems that during my absence, you have taken good care of the spiritual field."
Ziyue smiled slightly. The spiritual rice planted in the spiritual field in the distance was now lush, and the spiritual rice was faintly bearing fruit. Obviously, it was growing very well.
On the other side, although the Spirit-gathering Tree was still in the seedling state, it had the preliminary effect of gathering spiritual energy, making the surrounding spiritual energy quite abundant.
"We dare not neglect Immortal Bai's instructions."
Gao Ming hurriedly said.
"Immortal Bai, since you are back this time, you won't leave, right?"
Fu Yongyu also asked quickly.
"I won't stay for a few days. I just happened to come back for something."
Ziyue waved his hand and said.
"By the way, Immortal Bai, a little girl came over a few days ago. She said her name was Zhao Yue 'er. She seemed to want to say goodbye to you.
She also left a wooden box for you. We didn't dare to act rashly, so we put it away first. "
Fu Yongyu seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly ran to the bamboo house where he lived. He quickly took out a wooden box and handed it over.
"Zhao Yue 'er?
Goodbye? "
Bai Ziyue frowned and hurriedly received the wooden box.
This was a red sandalwood wooden box, one foot long and two inches high. There were two enchantments on it, one big and one small. The small enchantment looked immature. Obviously, it was set by Zhao Yue 'er herself.
As for the bigger enchantment, it had a certain amount of power. If an ordinary person tried to break it by force, not only would it be difficult to succeed, but it would automatically destroy the things in the wooden box, and it would also backfire. Its power was at least equivalent to the full blow of a cultivator who had just entered the Aperture Awakening Realm.
Obviously, this big enchantment should be left by Zhao Yue 'er's master, Zhu Shuizhen.
The enchantment was intact, so no one had opened it.
After giving his thanks, Ziyue stepped into the cave under the gazes of the two who were overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
Ziyue looked at the wooden box in front of him in confusion. He did not hesitate and directly used the Restriction Breaking Technique to open the restriction.
Three to five minutes later, the restriction was broken, and he opened the wooden box.
"Hmm?
Spirit stones?
And another Jade Map? "
Ziyue blinked in confusion.
There weren't many Spirit Stones. Two mid-grade Spirit Stones and thirty-seven low-grade Spirit Stones added up to two hundred and thirty-seven low-grade Spirit Stones.
He vaguely had some guesses. He quickly scanned the jade with his Divine Sense and immediately received the information in the Eye Jade Slip.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was also inexplicably moved.
"I didn't expect that the little fellow had been secretly accumulating spirit stones for me …"
Ziyue couldn't help but think of the scene when he first joined the Chaoyang Sect. Zhao Yue 'er chose to worship Zhu Shuizhen as her master because she was willing to lend him ten thousand Karma points.
At that time, he thought it was just her childish words. He didn't expect that she would take it as her own motto and keep it in mind.
Although he broke through to the Aperture Enlightening Realm with his own ability, Zhao Yue 'er had been silently accumulating spirit stones little by little …
Ziyue suddenly felt that the two hundred and thirty-seven low-grade Spirit Stones seemed a little heavy.
"By the way, leave?
I hope it's not too late. "
Ziyue seemed to suddenly think of something. He was shocked and quickly walked out of the cave and went straight to the Hall of Inheritance where Zhao Yue 'er's master, Zhu Shuizhen was.
In the Jade Map, although Zhao Yue 'er said goodbye, she didn't say what the reason was.
She was so sincere. As her brother, he naturally had to go with her.
The Chaoyang Sect covered a large area, but with his speed, it didn't take long for him to use the Light Body Technique.
Soon, a quaint and tall palace appeared in front of him.
Hall of Inheritance!
Here, in fact, was where many disciples of the Chaoyang Sect cultivated.
Ziyue had never been here because he was a rogue cultivator and entered the sect. He had always adhered to his own cultivation philosophy.
"Big Brother!"
Zhao Yue 'er looked at Ziyue with an excited face and said cheerfully.
When she heard from her master that Ziyue was already at the door of the cave and was about to visit, she hurriedly rushed over and welcomed him in excitedly.
"When the little girl heard that you were coming, she was so excited that she ran over in one breath."
Zhu Shuizhen followed behind her and said with a smile.
"Big Brother hasn't come to see me for a long time."
Zhao Yue 'er said in low spirits.
"Didn't I come to see you?"
Ziyue smiled slightly, touched Zhao Yue 'er's head, and said, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, Little Yue' er has grown a little taller, and your cultivation progress is not small."
"I have broken through to the third level of the Qi Refining Stage."
Zhao Yue 'er immediately raised her head and said proudly.
Ziyue nodded, looked at Zhu Shuizhen and said, "Thank you, Immortal Zhu."
"She is my disciple, and I will definitely teach her with all my heart.
To be able to make such progress, it was also related to her talent.
It's a pity that I can't teach her for too long. "
Zhu Shuizhen shook her head and said with a little sadness.
"By the way, I received the wooden box that Yue 'er left me before. What did she mean by saying that she was leaving?"
Ziyue said, staring at Zhao Yue 'er and said, "Take back the spirit stones inside. Do you think I lack these things?"
"No!
This is my gift to Big Brother. "
Zhao Yue 'er hurriedly hid her hands behind her back and said.
Ziyue was helpless. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then I'll give you something in return. You can't refuse.
I've set up a restriction on it. When you unlock it, you'll be able to see the gift inside.
I hope you can unlock it with your own ability. Do you understand? "
With that, he took out a storage bag and handed it over.
"Okay!"
Zhao Yue 'er hurriedly responded.
Seeing this, Zhu Shuizhen smiled slightly, showing a trace of affection. Then she said, "Yue 'er is usually soft and weak, but she is very strong.
Now that you said so, she will definitely set it as her goal for a long time.
"As for the gift, I guess she should remember that you wanted the Barrier Breaking Pill and the Enlightenment Pill, so she has been accumulating spirit stones to help you.
"So, this little ingrate even secretly sold some of the rewards I gave her in exchange for spirit stones.
"In addition, she also secretly took some small tasks to help people nourish the spiritual medicine seeds and engrave low-level restrictions to earn spirit stones …"
Speaking of this, Zhu Shuizhen's face showed a trace of helplessness.
Zhao Yue 'er blushed, lowered her head slightly and didn't speak.
"As for leaving …"
Zhu Shuizhen pondered for a while before saying, "You should know about the competition for the 12 places when people from the outer region arrive.
"Every 30 years, the Heavenly Spirit Sect from the outer region will sail a warship and come here. They will select 12 outstanding cultivators under the age of 50 to join the Heavenly Spirit Sect and go to the outer region together.
"Yue 'er's talent is so strong that she is one in a million among those who have the aptitude for immortal cultivation.
"Even if her strength is not enough to compete for a place, her talent trumps everything. She will definitely be able to occupy one of the places.
"That's why she wants to say goodbye to you.
"Because it won't be long before she steps on the Heavenly Spirit Sect's warship and goes to the outer region."
"I see!"
Ziyue suddenly understood and was overjoyed.
He had already decided to compete for one of the 12 places. If he could have Zhao Yue 'er as his companion, it could be considered a good thing.
"Of course, the premise of all this is that we can smoothly reach the Ancient Barrens City and not be killed.
"Now in the outside world, there are endless assassination methods for genius disciples. During this period of time, the number of potential powerhouses who have died is more than ten.
"It just so happens that fellow cultivator Bai is back. I wonder if you would be willing to escort Yue 'er to the Ancient Barrens City together?"
Immediately after, Zhu Shuizhen's tone changed and she suggested again.
She also saw that Ziyue was also at the peak of the early stage of the Enlightenment Realm. She had the idea that one more person would be more power, so she made such a suggestion.
"Actually, you don't have to be too worried.
"This time, in addition to the sect sending a cultivator at the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm as a guardian, I have also invited Elder Gu and Elder Tang to accompany us.
"As long as it is not a powerhouse at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm, we can basically guarantee our safety."
Zhu Shuizhen seemed to be afraid that Ziyue would refuse, so she hurriedly said again.
"When?"
Ziyue was a little puzzled as to why the sect did not invite powerhouses at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm like the Great Elder and the Second Elder to go with them. As far as he knew, the grandnephew of the Great Elder, Qin Feiyu, would also participate in the competition for the 12 places. If he went with them, their safety would definitely be greatly increased.
However, he already had plans to go to the Ancient Barrens City, so he naturally had no reason to disagree.
"Tomorrow morning!"
Zhu Shuizhen was delighted and took the opportunity to say.
…
After leaving Zhu Shuizhen's cave abode, Ziyue did not return to his own cave abode. Instead, he turned around and went directly to the Internal Affairs Pavilion.
Since there was only one day left, they had to set off for the Ancient Barrens City.
Ziyue predicted that if he won the place, he would definitely not have the opportunity to return to the sect.
Therefore, he naturally had to take advantage of this period of time to quickly exchange for the Divine Power in the sect.
Although he had already mastered the Shrinking Earth Divine Power and had the Great Immortal Martial Handprint and the Immortal Martial Colored Light that were comparable to Divine Powers, he still had the Great Immortal Martial Handprint and the Immortal Martial Colored Light.
However, the Light of Nirvana of the Chaoyang Sect was a real offensive Divine Power and was extremely powerful. Naturally, he would not let it go.
Especially when he had sufficient Spirit Stones.
Therefore, his figure soon appeared in a secret room of the Internal Affairs Pavilion.
The person who received him was his old acquaintance, the Vice Pavilion Master of the Internal Affairs Pavilion, Immortal Master Zhang Shaohua.
