One minute later.
A sharp sword light cleaved through the sky, swiftly landing before Jiang Yuan.
The sword light faded, revealing Shu Xiaoxiao’s stunning face, and her joyous expression.
“Young Master!” Shu Xiaoxiao said gently.
Jiang Yuan grinned, stepping forward to fondly tousle her hair.
“I’m back!”
“Mhm! Mhm!” Shu Xiaoxiao responded with a radiant, enchanting smile.
At that moment, her smile dazzled all, unequaled by anyone.
There was a flash of white light in Jiang Yuan’s hand.
“Xiaoxiao, I got this for you!”
“Young Master, what is this?” Shu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled.
Jiang Yuan unwrapped the covering to reveal a Bu Yao tucked inside.
This Bu Yao was a small, glassy sword about four inches long, adorned with a tassel at the end.
Used as a hairpiece, it would sway slightly as one walked, thus earning its name ‘Bu Yao’ which means the walker’s sway.
Upon seeing the Bu Yao from the wrap, Shu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, looking up at Jiang Yuan.
“Young Master!”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Jiang Yuan chuckled, telling her, “Turn around, let me put it on for you!”
“Ok!” Shu Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Yuan then unfastened the jade hairpin from her hair.
“Young Master, I want to keep this jade hairpin. It’s a gift you gave me on my birthday, the first birthday gift I’ve ever received. It means a lot to me, and I want to keep it!”
Jiang Yuan put the Bu Yao in her hair, and handed the jade hairpin in his hand to Shu Xiaoxiao.
Turning around, Shu Xiaoxiao asked shyly, “Young Master, does it look good?”
“Of course, it looks sublime! The finest in the world! Nothing can compare!”
Upon hearing his words, Shu Xiaoxiao rejoiced. She wanted to throw herself into Jiang Yuan’s arms but hesitated at the thought of her standing.
After all, she was just a maid.
After a while, she looked up at Jiang Yuan.
“Young Master, can you hold me?”
Jiang Yuan smiled and pulled her into his arms.
Shu Xiaoxiao buried her head in Jiang Yuan’s chest.
“Young Master, you’re so good to Xiaoxiao!”
Jiang Yuan sighed lightly, feeling a sudden pang of sympathy.
To say such words…
This showed just how little love she had experienced.
Whether it was her parents’ love, or affection from elders, perhaps all were irrelevant to her.
“Chirp—”
“I want it too!”
Phoenix Birdy immediately jumped up and down, trying to squeeze into their hug.
Before Birdy could squeeze in, Shu Xiaoxiao untied her arms and stepped out of Jiang Yuan’s embrace.
“Young Master, I’ll go boil water for your bath!”
Jiang Yuan nodded, a hint of a smile on his face.
“Great!”
He then opened Shu Xiaoxiao’s Status Panel for a quick look.
[Name]: Shu Xiaoxiao
[Realm]: The Ninth Level of the Divine Bridge Realm
[Innate Qi Movements]: Reincarnation of Sword Immortal (Gold) Beauty of the World (Gold) Devouring Heaven and Earth (Gold) Blessing in Disguise (Purple) Deep Benevolence (Blue)…
Still at the Ninth Level of the Divine Bridge Realm, even after two months.
Even with Immortal Dao secret methods and Devouring Heaven and Earth Innate Qi Movements,
She still couldn’t make this breakthrough.
But it was understandable since this was a major realm breakthrough, which was never straightforward.
Looking at the golden Qi of Luck swirling around her, Jiang Yuan gestured subtly.
The Qi Movement of life and death around Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly merged into his Status Panel.
Immediately, his Qi Movement experienced a surge,
Instantly breaking through 2000 strands and reaching 2226 strands.
A decent gain!
Jiang Yuan thought silently.
As he closed the Status Panel, he saw Shu Xiaoxiao turning around, about to leave.
He said, “Wait!”
“Young Master, what’s the matter?” Shu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.
Jiang Yuan held a jade box in his hand, tossing it to Shu Xiaoxiao.
“Take this, absorb and refine it, it will help you break through sooner!”
Opening the jade box, Shu Xiaoxiao was hit by a strong medicinal fragrance.
Seeing the six golden patterns on top, she was astonished.
“Young Master, this is a sixth-grade elixir, it’s too precious! I can’t accept it!”
“Precious? Precious!” Jiang Yuan shook his head with a smile, “The three drops of Spirit Marrow Jade Liquid you fed me before are way more precious than this!”
“Moreover, this is just a top-grade Water-Proof Pill, I still have many, many superior-quality Water-Proof Pills!”
“For me, this is nothing!”
Shu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide, “Really?”
“Hmm, would I lie to you?”
A white light flashed in Jiang Yuan’s hand, and a white jade bottle instantly appeared in his hand.
“Look!”
Jiang Yuan casually poured out a few pills, then put them back in.
Shu Xiaoxiao nodded at once, “Young Master, then I’ll accept it! I’ll try to break through to the Dharma Realm as soon as possible, so I won’t just be a decoration by your side.”
When she finished, she turned around happily and left.
Jiang Yuan too, smiled.
The top-grade Sea Blocking Pill should be able to greatly boost her cultivation, and she should be able to reach the Dharma Realm soon.
To me right now, although the effect is mediocre, it can only accelerate 20% of the cultivation progress.
But I’m now at the accumulation phase from the fifth to the sixth level of the Dharma Realm.
Shu Xiaoxiao is only in the Divine Bridge Realm.
The requirements to break through are worlds apart.
Not on the same level at all.
Watching all this, Phoenix Birdy jumped onto Jiang Yuan’s shoulder.
“Chirp—”
“Master, I want it too! I want it too!”
Jiang Yuan flicked her in the head.
“Besides eating and sleeping, what else do you want?”
“Ouch, ouch, ouch!” Phoenix Birdy covered her head with her beak, “But I’m still small! When I grow up, I can help Master in fights!”
“I can also be Master’s mount, making a grand appearance with Master!”
“I am a phoenix!”
Upon her last words, Phoenix Birdy held her head high, immensely pleased with herself.
“Alright!” Jiang Yuan chuckled.
He then tossed her another jade box.
“Here, this one’s for you!”
As soon as Phoenix Birdy opened the jade box, she saw a Water-Proof Pill with six patterns inside.
“Wow! A sixth-grade elixir! This will surely boost my cultivation by a notch!”
“Then, I can grow up quickly!”
“At that time, master, you will be able to make a grand entrance riding on me, a phoenix!”
Birdy Huang’s face was filled with joy as he spoke.
Jiang Yuan also laughed.
…
After the bath.
Jiang Yuan was sitting on a wooden stool, with Shu Xiaoxiao combing his long hair.
Shu Xiaoxiao was talking to herself at this moment.
The young master’s hairstyle and clothes have changed.
Just now when I held him, he had a faint feminine fragrance on him.
Could it be that the young master has someone else outside?
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yuan noticed Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly stop and couldn’t help but ask.
“Nothing!” Shu Xiaoxiao chuckled and continued to comb Jiang Yuan’s hair.
In her heart, she thought, if there is, so be it!
I’m just a maid, why should I think so much!
Being able to follow the young master is good enough!
A reluctant smile tugged at her mouth as she continued to comb Jiang Yuan’s hair.
“All done!”
Shu Xiaoxiao declared in a sweet voice, indicating that she had finished combing Jiang Yuan’s hair.
Jiang Yuan stood up, “Xiaoxiao, go practice! I’m going out for a bit.”
“Yes, young master!”
Shu Xiaoxiao nodded.
As Jiang Yuan walked out of the room, Birdy Huang flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder.
“Chirp chirp -”
“Master, where are you going, take me with you!”
“Okay.” Jiang Yuan laughed and rubbed Birdy Huang on his shoulder.
Then with a swift movement, he disappeared from the place.
…
Heaven Lead Peak.
“Senior!”
Jiang Yuan greeted with a cupped fist salute.
Then he looked at Kong Nian’s status panel.
[Name]: Kong Nian
[Realm]: Dharma Realm Second Tier
[Born Luck]: Late Bloomer (Purple) Accumulating Riches (Blue) Master Controller (Blue) Formation Apprentice (Green) Mysterious Talented Person (Green)
Immediately with a thought, the golden Qi of Luck on Kong Nian converged onto his status panel at lightning speed.
This was his purpose coming here.
Jiang Yuan quickly glanced at his own status panel.
The Luck Power once again increased to 2291.
Kong Nian laughed heartily, “Sit! Will you join this old man for few drinks?”
Jiang Yuan grinned, “Senior, you’re not old now, you’re in your prime!”
Kong Nian let out a hearty laugh, “That’s right, after so many years of being old, I forgot that I’ve returned to my prime!”
“Youth is wonderful, no wonder everyone wants to live forever!”
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, agreeing completely.
How many heaven geniuses and heroes were as powerful as a tiger in their prime, but when they reach their twilight years, they lose intelligence.
This was the case for the ancient and modern, near and far in his last life.
Then, Jiang Yuan began, “Senior, is there a method to attain eternal life in this world?”
Kong Nian laughed, “There’s no such thing as an eternal life technique! Even the so-called immortals in the legends cannot achieve eternal life.”
Jiang Yuan nodded, this was what he had known as well.
The so-called upper realm just possessed a certain special substance.
The so-called immortals just condensed an immortal body, and by relying on this special substance could live a few more years.
Nothing more!
They would eventually fall prey to the erosion of time, succumbing to the five signs of celestial decay, and ultimately heading towards demise.
This was the secret he learned from the ancient texts in the Holy Institute, which completely matched what Kong Nian had said.
Then he thought to himself.
Fortunately, I have that innate luck.
Live forever!
I might become the first immortal in this world!
I wonder where this status panel comes from, that it can break the laws of the world.
Kong Nian then chimed in, “Come on, let’s drink. Focus on drinking and don’t talk about brain-draining stuff!”
“Okay!”
Jiang Yuan smiled.
He raised his cup, and he and Kong Nian drank together.
…
Jiang Yuan suddenly appeared on the mountain trail.
“Ah!” Nangong Yue looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her and was startled.
Then she patted her chest, “It’s Senior Brother Jiang! You scared me!”
[Name]: Nangong Yue
[Realm]: Spiritual Sea Realm Fourth Tier
[Born Luck]: Heaven’s Mandate Favors (Purple) Heavenly Dao Recompenses Diligence (Purple) Cultivation Genius (Green) Outstanding Comprehension (Green) Formation Apprentice (Green)…
With a thought, Jiang Yuan gathered the Luck Power on Nangong Yue into his panel.
Then he said, “Junior Sister Nangong, it seems you’ve been practicing hard recently!”
Nangong Yue laughed shyly.
“Not really! I just found a thousand-year-old spirit medicine while playing outside, so my cultivation has improved a lot.”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Then he said, “You! Wasting your talent, you should work hard at cultivating! There will be unrest in the Qianyuan Kingdom soon.”
After saying this, with a flicker of his figure, Jiang Yuan disappeared from there.
After this, Jiang Yuan harvested all the Luck Power within the Supreme Mystery Sect.
As for Gu Mo, he was still not in Qingyun Palace.
Lu Qingshan said that he had gone to the Sword Tomb, a mysterious burial place for swords, and had not yet returned!
Jiang Yuan could only wish him the best, hoping that he would undergo a complete transformation when he returned and take his talent a step further.
After returning to his courtyard.
Jiang Yuan looked at his status panel, the Luck Power was 2333.
It was a series of numbers that made people laugh.
Just as he was about to start practicing, his Holy Institute token suddenly started vibrating. Someone was summoning him.
Could it be his senior sister?
Jiang Yuan thought to himself.
Then he took out the Holy Institute token, and as his divine sense entered, a surprised look appeared on his face.
[Nie Yuan (Heaven Killing Pavilion’s Deputy Pavilion Master)]: Junior Brother Jiang Yuan, were you assassinated just now?
[Ji Yueyue (Princess of Central State Ancient Nation)]: Huh? Little junior brother was actually assassinated? Who is so audacious? Shocked.jpg
[Yun Muyao (Holy Daughter of Tianhe Sacred Land)]: Third senior brother, was Junior Brother Jiang Yuan assassinated? Is he alright?
[Nie Yuan (Heaven Killing Pavilion’s Deputy Pavilion Master)]: He’s fine! The mission failed, and it was reported to me, so I found out that little junior brother had been assassinated!
Looking at this, Jiang Yuan was slightly surprised. Third senior brother?
Deputy Pavilion Master of the Heaven Killing Pavilion?
This meant that among the nine students of the Holy Institute there was one whose identity was still unknown.
