178: Chapter 178 The Moon Shadow Sect Master is a kind-hearted person

Yu Linglong pushed the door open and entered, immediately noticing the eyes of the four people in the room falling upon her.

"Eldest Senior Sister!"

"Linglong."

On the wooden couch, Yu Zhaohua's eyes flickered with a ripple of emotion: "Linglong, you're back. Is there any news of your Second Junior Sister?"

Yu Linglong's bare feet lightly touched the floor, her moon-white skirt swaying slightly as she spoke truthfully:

"Second Junior Sister is currently in the southeast of Cangwu Province, serving as the Deputy Sect Master of Moon Shadow Sect in the Qing State."

"What?!" Baili Qiao (person) suddenly looked up, glancing at Yu Zhaohua in shock and doubt,

"Ling Shuang... she actually became the Deputy Sect Master of another Sect? This..."

Yu Zhaohua's brows also furrowed slightly; this news was clearly unexpected for her as well.

Nangong Mei (Hong Shao)'s lazy sitting posture straightened slightly, her snow-white waves rising and falling, a look of realization flashing across her face:

"Moonshadow Sect? Is it the eighth-grade Sect that recently shook Cangwu, standing as one of the three peaks alongside Wan Shou Mountain and the Wutong Divine Dynasty?"

Yu Zhaohua and Yu Lingling's gazes also instantly focused on Yu Linglong.

Yu Linglong nodded: "Exactly."

She then recounted Yu Lingshuang's ordeal in detail: being hunted by a Golden Crow Elder all the way to the Qing State, her body afflicted with Spirit-Eroding Powder and her cultivation destroyed, being saved by Ling Hao, later joining Moonshadow Sect, and with its help, not only fully recovering from her injuries but also returning to the Body Integration stage.

"Golden Crow Holy Land! They've gone too far!"

Yu Lingling's hands under her aqua-green sleeves clenched into fists, her beautiful face full of anger. Nangong Mei and Baili Qiao also gritted their teeth in shared indignation.

After listening, Yu Zhaohua's icy eyes narrowed slightly: "So, is this why Ling Shuang didn't return with you?"

Yu Linglong sighed softly and relayed Yu Lingshuang's proposal:

"Second Junior Sister cannot get away for the time being. She said she hopes we... can move the entire Sect to the Qing State. She can provide us with a place to settle, as well as... stable resources."

Yu Zhaohua fell silent for a moment before turning her gaze to Yu Lingling:

"Ling Ling, tell Linglong about our current situation."

Yu Lingling took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and repeated the predicament the Hundred Flowers Sect faced in the Wutong Divine Dynasty to Yu Linglong.

Silence fell over the attic once more. Yu Linglong's charming peach blossom eyes scanned everyone's solemn faces, but Ling Hao's face unexpectedly flashed through her mind. She parted her red lips and said:

"In my opinion, the Wutong Divine Dynasty is no place to stay; it's filled with thorns. Since Second Junior Sister has already paved the way for us in the Qing State, why don't we... just do as she said and migrate."

Yu Zhaohua's gaze swept over everyone: "Hong Shao, person, and Ling Ling, what do you think?"

Nangong Mei (Hong Shao) stretched her waist lazily,

"Just now we were still arguing over whether to stay or go, caught in a dilemma. Since that girl Ling Shuang has found a way out for us, with a place to settle and resources to rely on, it's better than sitting here waiting for death. I agree to the migration!"

Baili Qiao (person), however, had her brows locked in a frown, filled with worry:

"That makes sense, but... all of us are injured, and our Lunar True Essences have been depleted. Won't going there just add to Ling Shuang's burden?"

"Furthermore, what is the attitude of that Sect Master of Moon Shadow Sect? Can he really tolerate such a large group of us?" Her gaze turned to Yu Linglong, filled with doubt.

Yu Linglong saw the doubt in their eyes and the corners of her lips curled up:

"Ling Shuang's... status in the Moonshadow Sect is far beyond your imagination."

Seeing the disbelief in their eyes—they clearly thought a Deputy Sect Master's favor had its limits—she said no more. A spiritual light flashed in her hand, and the source condensing cup appeared in her palm. The cup was filled with crystal-clear spring water emitting a dense aura of life.

She handed the source condensing cup to Yu Zhaohua: "Revered Master, your Lunar True Essence has suffered the deepest damage. This is the Sheng-Sheng Creation Spring, which has miraculous effects on repairing the Origin. Back then, Second Junior Sister's Lunar True Essence was also repaired using this."

Female cultivators possess an Innate Taiyin source substance within them, representing their initial pure link to life and the Taiyin Law.

Upon successfully forming a Nascent Soul, if a female cultivator's Primal Yin is intact, the Innate Taiyin source substance can transform into Lunar True Essence, becoming a natural barrier to resist and harmonize the erosion qi between heaven and earth.

Once the Lunar True Essence is lost or contaminated (due to external trauma, curses, failed tribulations, etc.), its function as a barrier will be significantly weakened or even collapse.

The loss of Lunar True Essence has extremely serious consequences: the cost of suppressing erosion qi increases dramatically, survival rates plummet, and every time one takes action, it may accelerate the loss of the source, forming a vicious cycle.

The loss or contamination of Lunar True Essence doesn't necessarily mean she has lost her Primal Yin. However, if she loses her Primal Yin, the Lunar True Essence will definitely be lost or contaminated.

Therefore, female cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage and above all regard the Lunar True Essence as their foundation and cherish their Primal Yin.

Another point is that repairing the Lunar True Essence requires high-grade Heaven And Earth Treasures, which are extremely difficult to find.

Upon hearing "repairing the Lunar True Essence," Nangong Mei and Baili Qiao's eyes instantly erupted with wild joy! Their own Lunar True Essences had also been severely depleted due to the great battle, and they didn't dare to use their spiritual power lightly.

Yu Zhaohua, half-believing, took the source condensing cup and took a small sip. Instantly, a ripple of emotion crossed her face, and her icy blue eyes suddenly lit up. A gentle yet majestic force of vitality dissolved within her body, reaching deep into the withered and damaged Lunar True Essence at the core of her Origin! The effect was immediate!

Nangong Mei and Baili Qiao also couldn't wait to take a small cup and consume it. As the spring water entered their bodies, both of them shuddered, and wild joy surged onto their faces.

"Miraculous! It's simply miraculous!" Nangong Mei's voice trembled with excitement, her chest heaving even more. "This spring can not only repair the Origin but also heal, purify, Temper Body, and nourish the spirit... it does everything! This efficacy... I'm afraid even a ninth-grade divine item would be no more than this!"

Yu Lingling also took a sip, and the worry on her face vanished, replaced by deep joy: "Wonderful! There are still many Core Disciples in the Sect whose sources are injured, and we were worried there was no cure! Senior Sister, where did this spring water come from?"

Yu Linglong said: "This belongs to the Moonshadow Sect. What I have here was also gifted by Second Junior Sister."

Yu Zhaohua felt the long-lost surge of vitality within her body, but her brow furrowed even tighter: "To give us so much of such a precious item, is the Moonshadow Sect really willing? Ling Shuang... she is only the Deputy Sect Master. If she gives away such a heavy treasure without authorization, won't her Sect Master blame her?"

Yu Linglong laughed inwardly; that hands-off manager probably couldn't wait to dump everything on Second Junior Sister, and was just short of shoving the Sect Master's seal directly into her hands.

Moreover... was it a lot? That spring was bubbling out every day! She didn't let it show on her face, only saying: "Revered Master, rest assured, this was approved by the Sect Master of Moon Shadow Sect."

Hearing this, Yu Lingling said softly: "This Sect Master of Moon Shadow Sect... is quite a kindhearted person."

Yu Zhaohua looked at Yu Linglong: "Tell us about the Moonshadow Sect."

"The location of the Moonshadow Sect's gate, while the Spiritual Qi is not the absolute best, the Law and Daoist charm of heaven and earth are exceptionally clear and active. Cultivating and gaining insights there is as efficient as in a top-tier blessed land, and it even helps in breaking through Bottlenecks!"

"In its Scripture Pavilion, Immortal-grade Cultivation Techniques are everywhere, far beyond what our Linglong Blessed Land could compare to in the past!"

"You have already experienced the miraculous effects of the Sheng-Sheng Creation Spring; it contains the vitality of creation and is inexhaustible!"

"There is also the Five Elements Chaos Spirit Pool, which can infinitely refine and enhance the Origin of one's Spiritual Root! Even those with mundane bones can hope to step onto the path of immortality!"

"And then there's that Tribulation Platform..."

Yu Linglong's introduction carried a complex enthusiasm, focusing on describing the characteristics of the Moonshadow Sect that differed from other Sects, yet she skillfully avoided the most core "feature."

"...How is this still an eighth-grade Sect?" Nangong Mei listened, her heart swaying, her full chest heaving violently, her shock beyond words. "This foundation... I'm afraid even a ninth-grade great Sect would be no more than this!"

Light sparkled in Baili Qiao's eyes.

Yu Linglong looked at everyone's shocked expressions, hesitated for a moment, and still voiced Yu Lingshuang's deeper thoughts:

"Second Junior Sister's meaning... perhaps it is also the meaning of the Sect Master of Moon Shadow Sect... Disciples of the Linglong Blessed Land, if they are interested in pursuing a higher path, can... freely choose to join the Moonshadow Sect. Of course, they must pass the rigorous test of the sixth turn of its Nine-Turn Corridor."

"What?!"

"No way!"

"How can this be?!"

Yu Lingling, Nangong Mei, and Baili Qiao spoke almost simultaneously, their emotions agitated.

Although they were grateful for the Moonshadow Sect's help, allowing their Disciples to "freely join" another Sect was definitely not acceptable.

Yu Zhaohua's indifferent gaze swept over the three excited women, a hint of profound insight into the ways of the world flashing through her eyes:

"Is this... the condition proposed by that Sect Master of Moon Shadow Sect for accepting us?"

Inside the attic, the atmosphere instantly became stagnant once again.
