Chapter 115 Leaving
The route on the map was winding, and Yun Fuzhao didn't recognize any of the signs.
I don't know if it's the world of cultivation or some other place.
Lan looked on in surprise, "It can actually be pieced together."
Where did you get this parchment from?
“I don’t know,” Lan pondered. “This thing was already here when my father gave me the pearl. What kind of map is it? A treasure map?”
Yun Fuzhao shook his head. "I don't know either."
These maps were like blind boxes; she hadn't even given up hope, as collecting the complete set seemed impossible. However, she had an incredible stroke of luck, managing to collect three of the four fragments.
I've never seen this route before.
We have been ascended for too long, and the Five Realms have changed drastically. Even if we recognize each other, we may not be able to find each other.
Ning An has donated cultivation points.
[Ning An? The Ning An from the Hall of Rebirth?]
There are still a few Ning'an in the Upper Realm.
Yun Fuzhao gasped; even the big shots from the Hall of Rebirth had arrived.
[Ning An: The pagoda on the map is the Qingwen Pagoda of the Rebirth Hall.]
[He Yu, 3rd Guard of the Yun Family: When I was young, I traveled all over the place; it's impossible that I didn't recognize anyone. Oh, it's the Hall of Rebirth. That's alright then.]
The pagoda is in the Hall of Rebirth, and following this route, the final location of the treasure can only be the Hall of Rebirth.
The person who drew this picture is probably from the Hall of Rebirth, otherwise how could they know the location of the Hall of Rebirth so clearly?
The Hall of Rebirth is full of treasures; I wonder what those treasures on this map will be.
[If this really is the Hall of Rebirth, I advise Yun to give up the idea. It's full of old fogies who are only half-ascended; going there will only lead to death.]
[Yun Family Team 2, Hong Ziqing: We've collected three maps already, it would be a shame not to find the treasure. Besides, doesn't Xiao Zhaozhao know the Holy Son of the Hall of Rebirth? We can ask him to take Xiao Zhaozhao there.]
Yun Fuzhao thought it was impossible. She and Gong Yuhe had only met a few times. How could he possibly take her to the Hall of Rebirth?
[Ning An: The Holy Son's entanglement with a woman will be punished.]
[Yun Family Brigade 2 Hong Ziqing: Ugh, you guys from the Rebirth Hall are such a bunch of pedantic and boring old fogies. What era are we living in? Still emphasizing chastity.]
Ning An: ...
The powerful beings argued endlessly about whether or not to go, each holding their own opinion, and for a time they could not reach a conclusion.
Yun Fuzhao herself didn't want to go, after all, she didn't really need that treasure. Besides, it was the Hall of Rebirth, and her cultivation level was simply not enough to handle it.
Therefore, she had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.
She continued her cultivation as usual in the days that followed. With the one million cultivation points Ning An had rewarded her with, she felt that she was on the verge of a breakthrough.
She has been stuck in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm for half a year, and the cultivation rewards from powerful beings during this time have not made much of a ripple.
She sat cross-legged in meditation.
“Yun Fuzhao”.
Qi Huai walked in from outside.
Yun Fuzhao opened her eyes. Her cultivation had finally advanced; she had successfully broken through a minor realm. She was now in the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Did you not teach your disciples alchemy today?"
“I’ve taught them almost everything I needed to,” Qi Huai said, leaning against the doorframe. “The master leads you in, but the rest is up to you. From now on, it’s up to them.”
Yun Fuzhao nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Qi."
Qi Huai chuckled. "I have something to tell you."
"Please say."
"The Grand Elder asked me if I could refine the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill."
Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill? This pill is said to be able to bring the dead back to life. It's said that if someone stops breathing, taking this pill can save them.
Why is Dai Junde asking this?
"How did you answer?"
“Of course I can,” Qi Huai said, flicking his fluffy tail. “There’s no pill in this world that I can’t refine. However, the ingredients for this pill are rare, and just gathering them will take a considerable amount of time. But what surprised me was—”
Qi Huai looked at Yun Fuzhao and said, "He has already prepared the spiritual materials."
Hearing this, Yun Fuzhao was somewhat surprised.
He prepared the spiritual materials in advance, which means he had wanted to refine this pill for a long time.
But this is nothing unusual; everyone wants an extra trump card to save their life.
Yun Fuzhao expressed his understanding.
After a few seconds of silence, Yun Fuzhao reacted, "You have something else to say?"
Qi Huai nodded, a strange emotion flickering in his golden eyes.
He walked toward Yun Fuzhao and said, “My father found out that I was your spirit pet in the cultivation world and he was furious. He told me to go back immediately.”
Yun Fuzhao knew that he was the young master of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and that his father must be the Fox King.
The Qingqiu fox clan holds an undisputed position in the demon realm, so it is indeed beneath the dignity of such a powerful and influential young fox clan leader to serve as her spirit beast.
"If I were your father, I would be angry too."
What's the difference between this and being someone's dog outside? *cough*
Qi Huai chuckled, "Actually, he asked me to go back a month ago. But at that time, your disciples weren't properly trained yet. It's been dragged on until now, and I have to leave."
After spending so much time together, it's possible that we're reluctant to part ways.
Without his capable assistant, Yun Fuzhao didn't know if their sect's alchemy practitioners could still grow stronger.
Thinking of this, Yun Fuzhao felt even more reluctant to part. "You will come back, won't you, Xiao Huaizi?"
"Now you know how good I am," Qi Huai bent down slightly, his beautiful golden eyes fixed on her, "so to put it nicely, maybe I'll stay for you."
Yun Fuzhao cautiously inquired, "What is your father's cultivation level...?"
"The Nine-Tailed Fox is about to ascend."
hiss--
That's equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage in the human race. A human could blow away their Boundless Sword Sect with a sneeze. If she really kept Qi Huai, people would probably blow up her sect.
Yun Fuzhao was sweating profusely. She grasped Qi Huai's hand with utmost sincerity and said, "Have a safe journey."
"..."
His eyes narrowed, and Qi Huai rarely showed displeasure. "Are you really hoping I'll leave?"
"How could that be? I'm just worried about your father punishing you. Even someone as powerful as Lord Qi Huai would be helpless in front of his own father. I'm just worried about you."
Yun Fuzhao blinked innocently.
Qi Huai flicked her forehead with his finger, "Smooth talker."
He paused for a moment, then said, "We need to break our contract first. If Father finds out that we still have a contract, he'll probably come all the way from the Demon Realm and slaughter the Boundless Sword Sect."
Yun Fuzhao was horrified. She felt weak, pitiful, and helpless. "Our contract can still be broken?"
"It can always be solved."
This is different from what Yun Fuzhao knew. It wasn't that if the master died after signing the contract, the spirit beast would also die. This is equivalent to binding their lives together, which has always been an unsolvable problem.
Qi Huai smiled and said, "Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will find that nothing can bind you."
"..."
So this contract is just a formality.
"My departure will take anywhere from two months to a year. Be careful in all your actions in the cultivation world."
