111: Ascension Jade Letter

"Revered Master, where are we going?"

On a spirit boat.

Shen Jinhuan sat cross-legged in the boat, the scenery on both sides rapidly receding, her white hair blown back by the wind.

Shen Jinhuan felt a bit reluctant to part with Wen Ruotang.

Jiang Ning patted her head.

"We're going to Xuanhuang Domain, the area where Yaoguang Immortal Palace is located."

He could tell the little girl's reluctance to part with Wen Ruotang.

A child who had never been loved much since childhood, to her, every bit of kindness from a stranger was a gift from heaven, to be cherished especially.

Even in female-oriented novels, there was such a description of Shen Jinhuan.

It was said that an old woman invited her to eat a bowl of noodles, and the next day, this old woman was forced into a desperate situation due to the local harsh government.

Shen Jinhuan then massacred the entire area.

Her emotions were very much of the tsundere nature of a villain, extreme, cold... hatred was extreme... love was also extreme... Shen Jinhuan was stunned when she heard Jiang Ning's words.

Then, with a hint of jealousy, she probed, "Is Revered Master planning to marry into Yaoguang Immortal Palace and find a Fairy there to be his Dao Companion?"

"No, what are you thinking?!"

Jiang Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Going to Yaoguang Immortal Palace was because, according to the novel, there was an Opportunity in the Tianshan Cold Pool near Yaoguang Immortal Palace, and the day of its opening was approaching.

The Three Great Factions would send their respective Disciples to the Tianshan Cold Pool to cultivate and secretly explore its secrets.

In the novel, Yun Qingyao, with the help of the Male Lead, further stimulated the potential of her Glazed Holy Body at the bottom of the Tianshan Cold Pool.

At the same time, Yun Qingyao brought out the secret of the pool bottom, greatly increasing the strength of Yaoguang Immortal Palace and Yingtong Merchant Guild.

This was also why Tiance Military Prefecture was annihilated.

He definitely had to intercept this Opportunity! These were very important Opportunities for Yun Qingyao in the early stages.

But how could he explain this to the little girl?

Jiang Ning pondered for two seconds, "On the Tianshan Mountain in the area where Yaoguang Immortal Palace is located, there is a mountain-top lake called Tianshan Cold Pool, where the extremely cold Spiritual Qi can further temper a Cultivator's body.

It speeds up the cultivation process.

Most importantly, the Heavenly Cold Pearls formed within it can increase one's cultivation and help Breakthrough Bottlenecks.

You are also in the Late Stage of Qi Refining now, aren't you?

When the Cold Pool opens, you go in and soak for a bit, and you might just reach Qi Refining Perfection, or even Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in one go!"

"Really?"

Shen Jinhuan's eyes sparkled with excitement.

She hadn't expected that after entering the Qi Refining Realm, her cultivation progress would be even faster than Body Tempering!

Of course, this was definitely thanks to the Demonic Technique, which perfectly suited her talent.

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make your cultivation speed up."

This trip wasn't entirely for the little girl.

At the bottom of the Tianshan Cold Pool, there was the skeleton of a fallen Soul Transformation Realm expert, and the energy and Law fluctuations contained within it were enough to tempt any Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

This was different from treasures like the dao leaf, which required self-comprehension.

This skeleton itself contained a portion of the expert's Laws from when he was alive!

Cultivators don't just comprehend one Law and then can't comprehend others; they can comprehend and study multiple Laws... but too much can be overwhelming.

Everyone chooses a primary Law to cultivate, and at most comprehends two auxiliary Laws.

It's too early to talk about all that.

Let alone a primary and two auxiliary, it's already an incredible feat for an ordinary person to comprehend even one Law.

After discussing this matter,

the Revered Master and Disciple no longer spoke.

They both closed their eyes to rest, letting the spirit boat operate on its own, and entered a state of cultivation.

At this moment... in Black Iron City on the border of Xuanhuang Domain.

Sun Wenqian sat with a grim expression in the small courtyard the Sun Family owned in Black Iron City.

Inside, the head guard, Uncle Wang, paced the room.

"Young Revered Master, what should we do? The Hu Family wants to take all our goods this time without paying a single penny!"

"Have you told the family?"

Sun Wenqian asked.

"Yes, I have." Uncle Wang nodded, "But is it really okay for us to let Young Miss Qingqing handle this?"

"No problem."

Sun Wenqian said confidently, "Qingqing is very trustworthy, and besides, everyone in our caravan has probably been targeted by the Hu Family.

Qingqing joined halfway, so she won't attract attention."

Uncle Wang: "I hope the family can send someone quickly. This time we played an empty fort strategy, making the Hu Family think that the Foundation Establishment expert of our Sun Family is also with us.

If they find out that there isn't a single Foundation Establishment Realm expert leading the team this time, the Hu Family will probably come to seize the goods directly."

As soon as his voice fell,

a commotion erupted outside the courtyard.

Uncle Wang was startled.

He peered out the door and was shocked to see that the "trustworthy" Young Miss Qingqing, as the Young Revered Master called her, was leading the Hu Family's people, aggressively heading this way.

"Young Revered Master! Yao Qingqing betrayed us! She colluded with the Hu Family and is leading their people here!"

"Impossible!"

Sun Wenqian stood up in shock.

Just as he was speaking, the Foundation Establishment Realm expert leading the Hu Family suddenly lunged forward and slashed Uncle Wang to death with a single strike.

A crowd of people surged into the courtyard aggressively.

"Playing an empty fort strategy with me? Where's your Sun Kuohai? Call him out, isn't he secretly here?"

Sun Wenqian gritted his teeth and did not answer the other party's words.

He just looked at Yun Qingyao.

"Qingqing, why? I believe I treated you well!"

"Is that so?"

Yun Qingyao directly unleashed her full Aura.

She drew her spirit sword and walked towards Sun Wenqian.

Sun Wenqian's pupils contracted sharply.

He hadn't expected Yun Qingyao's Aura to be even stronger than his!

And yet, he had confidently declared he would protect her?

The Hu Family's Foundation Establishment expert laughed loudly.

"Young Miss Yao, Sun Wenqian is yours. We, the Hu Family, will take the Sun Family's goods!"

Yun Qingyao didn't speak.

After the people left,

Yun Qingyao looked at Sun Wenqian, her eyes filled with anger and malice.

"Sun Wenqian, is it fun to pretend to be a gentleman?"

"Did I pretend?"

Sun Wenqian said forlornly, "I believe I haven't done anything to let you down, in fact, I treated you as family, but how did you treat me?

How did you treat the Sun Family?"

"Family?"

Yun Qingyao said with disgust, "You make me sick."

"By the way, do you know who that Young Sect Master you spoke of, who was treacherous, harmed fellow Disciples, was an ungrateful wretch, and caused the Bixiao Sect's downfall, is?"

Sun Wenqian seemed to understand.

He said in shock,

"You... you are the Junior Sister that Young Sect Master was close with?"

"No."

Yun Qingyao said with a smile, "I am that Young Sect Master."

Sun Wenqian stumbled back two steps in shock.

"Impossible... impossible..."

Blood splattered.

Sun Wenqian's carotid artery was severed by the spirit sword, and then his entire head flew off.

Before his consciousness dissipated, he still couldn't believe how such a kind and gentle Qingqing could be Yun Qingyao... how could it be... Fifteen minutes later.

The Hu Family's Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator returned, holding a blood-stained broadsword.

Seeing Sun Wenqian's headless body on the ground,

he clicked his tongue.

This girl truly had a venomous heart.

Not only did she come to inform them early in the morning, but she also said she wanted to kill Sun Wenqian herself... If he hadn't known that this young girl was already nearing the Late Stage of Qi Refining at such a young age, he wouldn't have spared even her.

To achieve such accomplishments at this age, she must have a powerful mentor behind her.

Their Hu Family couldn't afford to offend her.

Yun Qingyao glanced at Sun Wenqian, whose eyes were still open in death.

"Where's the item?"

The Hu Family expert pulled out a jade tablet from his Storage Pouch.

"The item you wanted."

"Thank you."

Yun Qingyao took the item and left.

She helped the Hu Family precisely for this item.

Holding this jade tablet, one could participate in the "Ascension Assembly" held a month later, jointly organized by Tiance Military Prefecture, Yingtong Merchant Guild, and Yaoguang Immortal Palace.

If one could be chosen as a Disciple by one of the Three Great Factions, they would receive endless resources.

Stepping out the door,

Yun Qingyao used the disguise technique Mr. Yan gave her to transform into an ordinary-looking little girl.

This was her Opportunity.

It was her Opportunity to get revenge and become stronger!
