The clouds are traveling across the mountains, inside a certain cave.
Yue Jiu used sword fire to cook spiritual tea and asked the figure not far away: "Miss Ling, does Senior Ling have any orders?"
Ling Yan was tapping a stone wall in front of him with his hands behind his back. Hearing this, he turned around and said with a smile, "You always start with this sentence every time I come here. Aren't we considered friends now?"
Ling Yan was born with excellent looks, and because she was the only girl of her generation in the Ling family, she had been loved by the whole family since she was a child. She had an air of lightness hidden in her every smile.
Yue Jiu withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes to control the heat of the spiritual tea, and said seriously: "Although I rarely leave this cave, I also know a lot of things from the mouths of those casual cultivators. For example, a cave of this level is very popular in the entire cave. The mountains in Yunxing cannot exceed the number of five fingers, and I have been practicing here since I came here with my seniors."
Yue Jiu poured out three cups of spiritual tea. Ling Yan came over and sat down. He took a sip from the cup and said, "You may not know one thing."
Yue Jiu raised her head and looked at her doubtfully.
Ling Yan said: "The Yunxing Mountains are indeed a good place for casual cultivators. As long as you have enough spirit stones here, you can enjoy such a cave, but even the best cave here is in the eyes of the master. It’s nothing.”
Ling Qingzhu, as the mistress of the Lin family, is also the head of her own family. This is not a secret in the Xishan Realm, and there are actually only a few people in the entire Ling family.
Yue Jiu was silent for a moment, looked up at the bookshelf aside, and said, "I know there must be a better place to practice in the Western Mountains than here, but for me, this place is enough."
"There are also the sword scriptures on the bookshelf, the insights left by predecessors, and that..."
"Okay, okay." Ling Yan's slender eyebrows moved slightly, and she quickly interrupted Yue Jiu, humming softly: "Even if this is the case, it is a matter between the family master and you, and has nothing to do with me."
Yue Jiu's eyes moved slightly, and she sighed in her heart, and said solemnly: "Senior has given me the kindness to rebuild."
Ling Yan glared at him helplessly.
Yue Jiu smiled, glanced at the figure at the entrance of the cave, and said, "Spring God Mountain is some distance away from here."
Ling Yan said: "Counting the time, you should have made a breakthrough in the past few days. I just wanted to come and see you with my second brother."
Yue Jiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there really nothing else?"
Ling Yan pursed her lips and said, "Of course, my cousin will come back from the Mugung Dynasty soon. You should be able to see her in a few days."
There was a trace of solemnity in Yue Jiu's eyes. Could it be that something happened over there in Zhuque City? Ling Yan saw his expression and shook her head and said, "Don't think about it. I heard from the head of the family that my cousin will establish a trade route with Zhuque City. This will It's the first thing my cousin does when she returns to the Lin family. We, the natal family, will naturally help, and you are originally with that, that..."
"Mu Qing?" Yue Jiu raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Ling Yan raised her slender eyebrows when she heard the name, and snorted: "This is Mu Qing. You know him. Grandma said that my cousin should ask you for help."
Yue Jiu thought that she might be able to get in touch with some people in Suzaku City soon, and she was happy and said, "I will try my best to help Miss Liu do this."
He looked up and saw that Ling Yan's face was a little ugly. He was slightly surprised. He thought about it and said, "Don't you like Miss Liu?"
Ling Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't I like my cousin?"
Since arriving here, Yue Jiu has been immersed in cultivation. Most of the news related to Suzaku City was learned from Ling Yan. Thinking of some of the things he heard in bits and pieces during this period, he said with a slightly strange look in his eyes: "Yes. Because of Mu Qing?"
"Hmph." Ling Yan looked up at him and said, "Do you know who is in charge of this trade route in Suzaku City?"
Yue Jiu shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I don't even know what is being bought and sold on this trade route."
Ling Yan said: "What is being bought and sold is pills, but the person responsible is not the Wanhua Valley you mentioned before, but a woman named Murong Jing."
"Murong Jing?" Yue Jiu frowned. The name Murong was familiar to anyone who was born in Hidden Valley, but he couldn't remember who this person was for a while.
Ling Yan was also observing his expression and said in surprise: "You don't know him?"
Yue Jiu said truthfully: "It should be someone from Hidden Valley, but I really don't know a woman named Murong Jing."
Ling Yan's beautiful slender eyebrows moved slightly, she tilted her head and said, "It seems that she used to be called Suzaku."
Yue Jiu's eyes didn't light up when she overlapped with a vague masked figure in her memory. She remembered her guess just now and asked in surprise: "Is she the woman who has a relationship with Mu Qing?"
"Yeah." Ling Yan said with an ugly face, "That's her."
Yue Jiu said: "I thought..."
He suddenly reacted and stopped talking for a moment. He looked up and saw Ling Yan looking at him with wide eyes.
Ling Yan said: "Do you think...did you know that Mu Qing was still related to Ye Yun before?"
Yue Jiu lamented in her heart, feeling that Mu Qing's emotional lines were more messy than the sword marks on the cave wall.
He turned to look to the southeast, thinking about the city with many old friends, and sighed: "Recently, the new casual cultivators are talking about Suzaku City. But they obviously don't know much, and I just Knowing that Mu Qing has become the city lord of Suzaku City, and thinking that Miss Liu is also in Suzaku City, maybe Miss Liu stepped in to help?"
"No." Ling Yan shook his head, glanced at Yue Jiu, and said, "This friend of yours has some abilities. I heard that he defeated Gu Yuan, the young master of the Gu family. I'm afraid his strength will not be lower than that of his elder brother."
Ling Yan's eldest brother Ling Yang, whose cultivation has reached the late extraordinary stage, is the most powerful genius of the Ling family. He has always been compared with Lin Xiu of the Lin family. Almost the entire Xishan Realm knows this. The existence of two proud men of heaven.
Suddenly hearing such a high praise from Ling Yan, Yue Jiu was silent for a long time and said with a wry smile: "He is indeed surprising, and it seems to be getting more and more surprising."
Seeing Yue Jiu's reaction, Ling Yan's eyes moved slightly and said softly: "Uncle Xiao just said that your sword moves are invincible in the same situation."
Yue Jiu smiled at her and said: "Some people are destined to be at the forefront of this era. Although I feel sad, I will not forget my sword, but I still want to thank you."
Ling Yan's eyes turned into crescent moons and he said, "My uncle is a swordsman. I have loved watching him play with swords since I was a child."
Ling Yan sat cross-legged, leaning one arm on the tea table, holding her chin up and smiling. Her fair skin contrasted with the black inkstone tabletop, like mountains and snow filled with fairy spirit, but she didn't know it yet. .
Yue Jiu looked away and said: "Senior Xuesong already has the talent of a swordsman, but I am far behind."
Ling Yan said with expectation: "But you will become a swordsman one day, right?"
Yue Jiu's heart suddenly felt heavy, she didn't know why she felt a little guilty, and she was speechless for a moment.
However, Ling Yan didn't seem to notice his change in mood and continued to speak. At this time, the figure at the door of the cave moved.
Ling Yun walked over with a straight face and said to Ling Yan: "Xiao Yan, there are newly arrived wood spirit roots in Yunzhi Pavilion. I have already told their shopkeeper, just go and get them back."
Ling Yan tilted his head and looked at the two people who had a somewhat different atmosphere. He blinked and said to Yue Jiu: "Mu Linggen is very helpful for brother's body tempering. Just wait for me here. I will be back soon."
Yue Jiu nodded: "Please pay attention to your safety."
"Don't worry, I'm not weak." Ling Yan chuckled, stood up and walked out of the cave.
Ling Yun saw that Ling Yan passed by his brother without even saying hello, and his face became more and more ugly, but he didn't say anything. He didn't look down at Yue Jiu until he was sure that Ling Yan's aura left the cave and disappeared quickly.
Yue Jiu lowered her eyes to the cup of tea as the heat was fading away, and said slowly: "I probably know what Mr. Ling wants to say."
Ling Yun narrowed his eyes slightly: "I thought you were going to keep pretending to be stupid."
Yue Jiu's eyes moved slowly, looking at the half-drunk cup of tea placed next to her own cup. She raised her head and said, "Don't worry, I know what's appropriate."
Ling Yun sneered when he heard this: "Do you know what is right? Do you know what is right and you will eat the spirit-breaking pill given to Xiao Yan by the head of the house?"
Yue Jiu stood up and frowned: "I thought..."
"Do you think the head of the family gave it to you?" Ling Yun's eyes were full of ridicule.
Yue Jiu pursed his lips and was speechless. His sword heart was reshaped and he was able to break through the realm so smoothly. That pill helped a lot, but before that, he didn't even know that the pill was what countless casual cultivators in the Western Mountain Realm longed for. The spirit-breaking elixir obtained.
After eating the Spirit-Breaking Pill, you can break through the spiritual realm. For a monk whose realm has stagnated, the value of a Spirit-Breaking Pill is simply immeasurable.
When Ling Yan handed the elixir to him, he didn't even introduce it. He didn't think much about it at the time, but he could feel some things vaguely.
Seeing that Yue Jiu was silent when asked, Ling Yun said coldly: "I know Xiao Yan's temperament. When she gave you the spirit-breaking pill, she didn't even say a word, but what about you? Is it something that is beneficial to you? , you just choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb?"
"You misunderstood." Yue Jiu looked directly at Ling Yun and said, "I followed Senior Ling to the Western Mountain Realm, and I had the consciousness to serve her."
Ling Yun was slightly stunned when he heard this. He thought that Yue Jiu was brought back by Ling Qingzhu. His expression softened slightly and he said, "I don't doubt you, but you took advantage of Xiao Yan."
Yue Jiu thought of a certain rumor and hesitated: "Miss Ling..."
Ling Yun's eyes flashed with pain, and he said: "Xiao Yan is actually the most talented among our three brothers and sisters, but she suffered a disaster from my Lin family when she was just born. Every break is a disaster for her. A test of life and death.”
There was silence in the cave for a long time, and Yue Jiu said with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, I don't know how I can get the Spirit Breaking Pill again. I want to make up for this as much as possible."
Ling Yun shook his head and said with an expression on his face: "Although the Soul-Breaking Pill is precious, the Ling family doesn't have it, so how can the family master lack it? It's just that others thought it was in Xiaoyan's hands because she didn't want to break the realm."
Yue Jiu said: "I will make this matter clear to Senior Ling."
Ling Yun nodded lightly: "Yes. Everyone's practice is different. Even if most people take a pill that can break through the realm, for Xiaoyan, it can only increase the probability of breaking through by 10%. That The test of life and death will still be there, and this is actually the real reason why we people have never urged her."
Seeing Ling Yun talking about this, Yue Jiu vaguely understood what he meant.
Sure enough, Ling Yun's eyes fell on his face and he said seriously: "But now Xiaoyan likes you. I don't know how much impact you will have on her practice, but if she gets worried because of you, If it's over, I'll kill you myself without my eldest brother taking action."
