179: This matter must be kept secret!

"Why do you ask?"

Miao Qingsha's eyes showed a hint of complexity when she heard Su Yang's question, and she simultaneously composed herself to appear more calm and collected.

"Just a feeling..."

Su Yang smiled faintly; he was merely curious.

After all, this peculiar situation happening to her was truly a first for him, and the actual result of this cultivation deviated from his long-accumulated experience.

Whether the problem lay with her or if his own summarized experience was still incomplete, Su Yang couldn't be 100% sure.

After all, the development of the Innate Kidney Body was not yet comprehensive enough, and he dared not prematurely deny the possibility of special hidden conditions not yet discovered.

Miao Qingsha gazed deeply at Su Yang, not directly answering his question.

She said, "Don't overthink it. In any case, I am truly, truly grateful for your help this time. Without you, I might never have been able to Breakthrough again in this lifetime. Now I can Cultivate properly once more. Thank you!"

Miao Qingsha bowed respectfully.

Su Yang didn't know what her "don't overthink it" specifically referred to, but knowing she didn't want to continue discussing the matter, he naturally wouldn't be so tactless as to keep pressing.

"Madam is too kind."

Su Yang returned the bow, saying, "Although this matter wasn't something I was obligated to help with, Madam's request, and the fact that it concerned Madam's cultivation, meant Su Yang had no reason to stand by and do nothing."

Miao Qingsha thought for a moment and said, "Let's consider this an unspoken secret between us. When we return to the Sect someday, we will act as if this never happened."

Su Yang nodded.

After all, this was no ordinary cultivation; he naturally knew that what happened between them could not be known by a third person.

"Then I won't delay your cultivation."

"I also need to return to the Sect as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary suspicion."

Miao Qingsha bowed again, then walked out of the Immortal Cave, looked back at Su Yang, and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from his sight.

"At least I helped her Breakthrough."

Since things were already this way, Su Yang didn't overthink it.

He flew back to the Ascension Platform.

All the women were cultivating.

As soon as Su Yang returned, Cold Moon and Luo Luo were the first to snap out of their cultivation, both looking at Su Yang with meaningful expressions and strange looks on their faces.

The others also opened their eyes.

Wen Yunyao was the first to get up and come to Su Yang's side: "Su Yang, you've been gone for almost ten days. Did you send my mother directly back to the Sect? You were gone so long."

Su Yang shook his head and said, "I just found a secluded place with her to chat about what happened in the Sect over the past six months, and some matters the Grand Elder entrusted me with. Many things have happened in the past six months, and as the future Sect Master successor of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, I naturally need to understand the intricate situations within the Sect and among the Eight Great Sects in detail. I didn't expect the conversation to last so long."

Su Yang tried his best to appear calm.

Wen Yunyao didn't think much of it. Hearing Su Yang's explanation, although she wondered what they could have talked about for so long, since it was a secret within the Sect, she didn't ask further. Perhaps many significant events had occurred recently, which was why her mother needed to explain things to Su Yang in detail.

Wen Yunyao stopped overthinking and instead hugged Su Yang, playfully saying, "So now... do we continue cultivating directly? Or do you want to finish what you didn't finish before?"

All the women looked at Su Yang expectantly.

Su Yang chuckled, said nothing, and directly picked up Wen Yunyao, heading towards the Immortal Cave.

I can't touch your mother, but for you, little girl, there's nothing to be shy about!

Gu Yue and the others understood tacitly, smiling brightly as they followed him into the Immortal Cave.

For the next three days, celestial music lingered in the Immortal Cave, its echoes unending.

It was considered a periodic rest from the past six months of cultivation, as well as a celebratory milestone for An Ran, Wen Yunyao, and Lin Bingqing successfully entering the Nascent Soul Stage.

Whether it was a periodic rest or a periodic celebration, once it ended, cultivation had to continue.

After emerging from the Immortal Cave, Luo Luo and Su Yang Cultivated.

The two entered a deep cultivation state, floating in the Void Realm, emitting a faint, unique spiritual glow during their cultivation.

Spiritual Qi continued to rapidly enter their bodies in an extreme overclocked state, and Su Yang's Innate Kidney Body also continued to rapidly convert the Spiritual Qi within his body into True Essence in an extreme overclocked state, supplying it to Crimson Phoenix who was cultivating inside him.

Luo Luo's voice came from Su Yang's mind.

"Master spent seven days talking after sending Miao Qingsha off this time; it seems a deep discussion took place."

Luo Luo's tone was teasing, even a bit playful.

Su Yang wasn't foolish; when Luo Luo and Cold Moon looked at him upon his return, he immediately knew they were aware of what had happened between him and Miao Qingsha.

Although a day's flight was far, Luo Luo and Cold Moon's strength was unfathomable, and the extent of their Divine Sense was unimaginable.

So, Su Yang saw no need to hide anything.

"Yun Yao's mother had been stuck in a Bottleneck for a long time, unable to Breakthrough, and had asked me to help her Breakthrough several times. I had no choice; she's Yun Yao's mother, I couldn't just stand by and watch her suffer, right?"

Luo Luo was silent for a moment, then finally remarked, "Yun Yao's mother's internal situation is very complex. Indeed, only Master can help her resolve the problem to Breakthrough."

"You noticed?"

"I noticed as soon as she arrived. There was residual Spiritual Qi in her body that didn't belong to her, and this Spiritual Qi had already fused with her own. Moreover, from the state of this Spiritual Qi, it seems Yun Yao's mother actively fused these two types of Spiritual Qi; it wasn't a calamity left behind by some attack. But as for how this thing specifically formed, I truly can't tell."

"So, Cold Moon also saw the problem?"

"Her cultivation base is higher than mine; if I can see it, she definitely can too."

It wasn't surprising that the two of them could see the abnormal situation within Miao Qingsha's body, as their strength was indeed very formidable, so it wasn't strange for them to notice.

"Yun Yao's mother truly found the right person to help her. In this world, besides Master, no one else could help her clear the abnormal Spiritual Qi from her body without abolishing her cultivation base. Master, you truly saved her Immortal path."

Su Yang really hadn't expected that only he could help her in this world.

Su Yang thought of something and curiously asked Luo Luo, "Since you can see the abnormal Spiritual Qi in her body, can you tell how these abnormal Spiritual Qi came to be?"

"It's very complex."

Luo Luo pondered, "This abnormal Spiritual Qi has fused with other people's Spiritual Qi and also with her own Spiritual Qi. Furthermore, from the state of this Spiritual Qi, it seems Yun Yao's mother actively fused these two types of Spiritual Qi, and it wasn't a calamity left behind by some attack or anything. But if you ask me exactly how this thing formed, I truly can't tell."

That complex?

Even Luo Luo couldn't figure out what was going on with this Spiritual Qi, so he naturally couldn't imagine it either.

Since that was the case, he stopped thinking about it.

Su Yang said to Luo Luo, "Luo Luo, you must keep this matter a secret for me and Yun Yao's mother. Her mother and I have already agreed that when she goes back, she'll say she received your guidance, which is why she achieved a Breakthrough here. Let's make sure our stories are consistent so we don't accidentally reveal anything."

"Got it."

Luo Luo smiled sweetly; this girl was clearly very accepting of these kinds of things.

It's just mother and daughter, aren't they all women? No difference, no difference...
