After the leader finished speaking, the hall became quiet for a while.
Yu Xian collected his thoughts and said: "What to do next? I think you don't want others to know her identity, but keeping it secretive all the time is not an option. If she raises her apparent cultivation level, sooner or later she will have to enter The old guys’ vision.”
"Just cover up the reality with fiction."
The headmaster replied, reprimanding by the way: "What old guy, you are shouting nonsense again, you have no respect for your elders."
It was obviously not the first time that Yu Xian had been scolded. He didn't blink an eye and just ignored it.
"Covering the truth with fiction?"
She pondered deeply, and soon her eyes suddenly widened.
"Are you planning to give Tao Zun his whole daughter out?!"
Facing Yu Xian's shock, the leader remained calm: "Otherwise, what else can we do?"
"..."
Yu Xian half-opened his mouth, swallowed after regaining consciousness, tried to regain his composure, and then thought about the feasibility of this road.
"...Indeed, it's not impossible. Tao Zun has been away for so long, so it wouldn't be too sudden to have a daughter... This way it would make sense for her to use Tao Zun's inherited treasures in front of others... As for coming to Taichu The purpose of the observation, um... a private inspection? To experience life? They have to make sure they don't disturb her, and they have to pretend not to know if they know it. Although there is a risk of leaking the news if there are too many people who know it, there is no big deal even if it spreads. hinder……"
Yu Xian bit his thumb and mumbled for a while. Finally, he changed his mind and raised his head to ask the leader: "Where is the mother-in-law? Do you think we don't know?"
The leader: "It's natural to say so. You'll be wrong if you tell me. Let them guess the story behind it. Besides, the descendants don't necessarily have to be biological children, so there's no need to tell them the truth."
Yu Xian opened his mouth and was about to say something when the leader added: "Even if it is a biological child, there is no need for another person to be involved. Tao Zun has magical power, so it is not impossible to give birth to a child by himself. Then he can also hint to them. Ideas.”
"..."
Yu Xian listened to the headmaster solemnly fabricating rumors about Taoist Kongji. He was dumbfounded on the spot, and then said in a tone that was a mixture of exclamation and teasing:
"Who is this disrespectful person?"
…
Mengxiao Pavilion.
After listening to Huo Xiumao's brief account of the trip and his thoughts afterward, Taojun Yunmeng nodded and said, "It's best if you gain something. You have been promoted to Nascent Soul. As a master, I can't be there for you." Support and gifts are indispensable."
As soon as she finished speaking, a stream of light flew out of her sleeve and fell into Huo Xiumao's arms.
Huo Xiumao didn't even look at what the gift was and immediately thanked him respectfully.
Daojun Yunmeng said again: "After Nascent Soul, have you ever practiced?"
Huo Xiumao: "When I was in the Emperor Rong Clan, my disciple had practiced a few times during my spare time, but I had never formally retreated."
"Compared with your cultivation efficiency during the golden elixir period, is it much slower?"
"It's a little slow, but..."
Huo Xiumao raised his head and glanced at Daojun, with hesitation on his face, "Disciple feels that the gap is very small. Compared with the leap from Jindan to Nascent Soul, this difference in efficiency is almost negligible."
He paused and asked uneasily: "Is there something wrong with the disciple's cultivation method?"
"No, it's not."
Taojun Yunmeng started to laugh, shook his head, and said, "It's you who have endured all the hardships."
Huo Xiumao was slightly startled.
Taoist Lord Yunmeng said: "At this level, the influence on your innate bones has been minimal. From now on, you no longer need to be limited by your bones. The long road has become a broad road for you."
Hearing this, Huo Xiumao was momentarily absent-minded. Then, a trace of joy appeared in his eyes, but he calmed down in an instant.
He said sonorously and forcefully: "Even so, this disciple will never let up."
Seeing that his apprentice calmed down so quickly and showed no sign of impatience, Daojun Yunmeng was very pleased, but at the same time he also warned: "Don't be too anxious. After the Nascent Soul, all kinds of Taoism are becoming more advanced and complex. The speed of your cultivation If we slow down appropriately, we might as well put more effort into other aspects.”
Then, she thought for a while and made a decision: "Before the next assignment, you come here every day. I will teach you a few techniques and practice with you."
Huo Xiumao happily agreed, and immediately remembered something and said, "Master, I want to study the art of swordsmanship."
Daojun Yunmeng was slightly surprised, "Sword technique? Are you referring to the sword technique of Wufeng Sword Sect?"
Huo Xiumao nodded in agreement.
Taojun Yunmeng: "Can you tell me, master, why do you have this thought?"
Huo Xiumao: "Although the disciple has no obvious shortcomings in his own strength, he also lacks strengths, so he wants to specialize in a certain area for further study. After repeated consideration, the disciple decided to study the art of swordsmanship."
Taojun Yunmeng thought for a while and said: "The Way of Hundred Soldiers has extremely high requirements on understanding and determination, and it is indeed suitable for you. Well, now that you have made up your mind, I will give my full support as a teacher. But there are no shortcomings. This is a strength, and balanced development is also an advantage. You have never mentioned this before. Could it be that someone said something to you?"
Huo Xiumao lowered his eyes, his eyes flickered slightly, but he said without any hesitation: "It has nothing to do with others, it's just the disciple who suddenly felt something."
"Um……"
Looking at his apprentice, who always made people worry-free, Taojun Yunmeng didn't ask any more questions after all.
…
The flowing flames illuminated the room, adding a bit of warmth to the deserted cave.
The pattern outlined by the flames formed the shape of a huge furnace. In the center of the furnace, Yin Xueze sat with his eyes closed, his breath slightly unsteady.
Light black ice crystals condensed from the fingertips of both hands, and then quickly spread upwards until they covered the entire arms, and then extended towards the torso.
Suddenly, as if being stimulated by something, the furnace body shook, a large array of spiritual energy surged, and the rising flames swept and roared like a storm, rushing towards the figure in the furnace from all directions.
The moment the tongues of fire licked the ice crystals, Yin Xueze's face twisted for a moment.
He gritted his teeth and remained silent, allowing the fire to grow stronger and swallow him completely.
The ice crystals were not moved by the heat and did not change for a long time. On the contrary, as time passed, the flocculent black filaments inside became thicker and thicker.
It wasn't until the power of the formation exploded completely that the entire room began to melt, that a crack finally appeared on the surface of the ice crystal.
Click, click...
The ice crystals began to break, but at the moment when they completely collapsed, as if some kind of revenge, all those black filaments penetrated the flesh and blood of the body.
"Well!"
Yin Xueze let out a muffled groan, then couldn't suppress it anymore and opened his mouth to spit out blood.
His straight back bent, and his shoulders dropped as if they were helpless. He gasped for breath, and his eyes fell on the shocking blood stains on the ground, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
After a while, he regained some strength, and he removed the formation. The firelight condensed and turned into a small formation disk that fell into his palm.
Yin Xueze looked at the array disk in his hand, seemingly feeling helpless, and put it away with a low sigh.
After thinking about it, he remembered a certain suggestion, and with a thought in his mind, he left the cave and headed to Luo Qi's residence.
