190: Treasure Pavilion - Mystic Gold Shield!

"Treasure Pavilion Master An Shihong pays respects to Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, Grand Elder Xuan Jian, and pays respects to Lingxiao Sword Ancestor!"

"Li Zhanmei of the Treasure Pavilion pays respects to Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, Grand Elder Xuan Jian, and pays respects to Lingxiao Sword Ancestor!"

An Ran's parents bowed respectfully.

The corners of their eyes subconsciously glanced at An Ran, who was beside Su Yang.

Their eyes were filled with shock.

When An Ran last left the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, she was only at the Early Golden Core Stage. Now, after nine months of cultivating while traveling with Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, she had actually entered the Nascent Soul Stage upon her return!

Heavens!

Is Lingxiao Sword Ancestor truly that powerful on his own, or did he obtain some special secret teachings from the Three Grand Elders?

This is terrifying!

Of course, beyond the shock, as parents, their joy was self-evident.

What parents wouldn't hope for their children to become dragons and phoenixes!

Grand Elder Xuan Qing nodded and said straightforwardly, "Lingxiao Sword Ancestor has come to the Treasure Pavilion to find a Magical Artifact. Lead the way."

"Yes, please this way!"

An Shihong smiled and nodded at Su Yang, then led the way to take everyone to the Treasure Pavilion.

Naturally, there was no need for An Ran to follow.

"Mother~"

An Ran excitedly went to her mother; having not seen her for nine months, she naturally missed her very much.

"An'an, your strength... has improved too fast!"

"Can cultivating by Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's side really increase it this quickly? How on earth do you Cultivate?"

They only knew that their daughter had become Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's cultivation partner, but as for what kind of cultivation partner, they actually knew nothing, and the Three Grand Elders—Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian—would never tell them.

"This..."

An Ran's face flushed slightly; naturally, she was too embarrassed to tell her mother that whenever she cultivated with Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, she was fixed onto his body by his Spiritual Root.

"What's wrong? Why are you blushing? It's just cultivation, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

An Ran cleared her throat and said, "Su Yang's method of cultivation is very special and is classified. The Grand Elders do not allow us to tell anyone, so... Mother, please don't ask!"

"Is that so... That makes sense."

Li Zhanmei smiled as she looked at her daughter: "Before, you would always call him Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, so why did you dare to call him by his given name directly this time? It seems your relationship with Lingxiao Sword Ancestor is a bit different, oh..."

"Mother~ I Cultivate by Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's side every day, so of course our relationship would be a bit different. That's very normal."

"Is it really just that? Don't think Mother doesn't know; you girl have already lost your virginity, you gave it to Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, didn't you?"

An Ran's face turned crimson, but she still nodded honestly.

At this moment, Li Zhanmei had not yet connected her daughter's loss of virginity with Su Yang's cultivation method. She said, "Lingxiao Sword Ancestor has many women around him, and like you, they are all his cultivation partners, so you all... gave yourselves to him?"

An Ran nodded and said, "We are all his women, so we can get along harmoniously in daily life. I know what you want to say, Mother, but rest assured, we won't be jealous of each other. Our relationship is very good now; my relationship with Lin Bingqing is very good."

An Ran would not tell her mother that when they rested now, they would all accompany Su Yang for periodic relaxation together!

When you spend so much time together, how could your feelings not be good?

Seeing her daughter say this, Li Zhanmei knew that her daughter already had her own cultivation life, and as a mother, there was no need for her to interfere too much.

So she took her daughter and walked back.

"An'an, I heard that you had a master guide you during your cultivation this time? The Sect Master's wife went to Wangxian Hall and successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Late-Stage after returning!"

"Is that so? Perhaps she received guidance from Luo Luo."

An Ran thought about it and said.

She didn't know about Miao Qingsha's Breakthrough, but thinking back to when she arrived at the Ascension Platform, she did indeed chat with Luo Luo about cultivation for a while.

"Luo Luo?"

"The Saintess of Wangxian Hall, her name is Luo Luo."

"She Cultivates with you all?"

"Yes..."

"Like you, she is also Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's woman?"

"Mm."

"This... Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's talent is so high? Even the Saintess of Wangxian Hall is willing to become his woman?"

"Yes."

Fearing that her mother would keep asking, An Ran changed the subject: "Mother, make me something delicious when we go back. I haven't eaten the food you make yourself in a long time."

"You're a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage, and you're still thinking about food! Fine, Mother will make some for you when we get back."

As Li Zhanmei spoke, she sighed, "I have been at the Peak Late Nascent Soul Stage for several years now; I wonder if there is a chance to have Saintess Luo Luo offer some guidance?"

"I can't guarantee that. Luo Luo only spoke a few words to Mother Yun Yao back then; her Breakthrough could also be due to the rich Spiritual Qi in Wangxian Hall."

"Is that so..."

"Yes..."

"An'an, you broke through so fast, was it all because Lingxiao Sword Ancestor helped you?"

"Mm."

"Then... what method does Lingxiao Sword Ancestor use to help you break through? Tell Mother, and Mother will try it too."

An Ran: "..."

Her face flushed instantly.

What method?

Incorporating true essence into essence, and then transferring the true essence to her in the form of essence; that was the method he used to help her break through to the Nascent Soul Stage!

"Ahem... Mother, your situation is a normal phenomenon. The Bottleneck period of the Peak Late Nascent Soul Stage is inherently difficult. Su Yang himself is stuck at the Peak Late Nascent Soul Stage, so how could he help you! Don't think so much, just Cultivate properly, and you might break through at any time."

An Ran pushed her mother and walked away quickly.

...

An Shihong brought Su Yang and the other three to the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect was very different from the Treasure Pavilion of the Hehuan Sect.

The Treasure Pavilion of the Hehuan Sect was a tower.

As the number one sect in the world, the Profound Heaven Dao Sect's treasures were unimaginably numerous; a single tower certainly couldn't contain them all, so the Profound Heaven Dao Sect's Treasure Pavilion was created by hollowing out a mountain and converting the interior of the mountain into the Treasure Pavilion.

It was safer and, at the same time, had more space.

Upon entering the Treasure Pavilion, bright Spirit Stones at the top illuminated this completely enclosed space.

The Treasure Pavilion had a hollow design; the treasures inside were arranged along the niches carved out of the mountain, spiraling upwards. There was a dazzling array of items, and everything one could imagine was there.

"Since this is Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's first time in the Treasure Pavilion, you can input your true essence into the hexagonal stone slab beneath your feet, and you will be able to control the slab to fly into the air and choose the Magic Treasure you want."

An Shihong said.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing explained from the side: "If you fly using your own true essence, there is a worry that uncontrolled true essence might damage some of the more fragile Magic Treasures inside. This stone slab on the ground can float while locking in the true essence, preventing it from overflowing."

So that was it.

Su Yang did not waste words and input his true essence into the regular hexagonal stone slab beneath his feet.

This stone slab was crafted from special Spirit Stones; after sensing the input of true essence, it immediately floated up from the floor, steadily carrying Su Yang as it drifted into the air.

Su Yang did not rush to search.

Sword Master had said that he had transformed the eternal emperor battle armor into different Magical Artifacts and scattered them across the Myriad Spirits Realm, so searching blindly was meaningless.

Rather than searching blindly, it would be better to directly sense its existence.

Su Yang let himself float in the very center of the Treasure Pavilion, closed his eyes, released his own power, and a faint spiritual light radiated from his body.

At the very top of the Treasure Pavilion, a golden shield immediately emitted a faint spiritual light, detached from its niche, drifted down slowly, and began to revolve around Su Yang.

Seeing this shield descend, An Shihong's expression changed, and he felt extremely embarrassed...
