Shadow One lowered his head and stepped forward, removing the pastries and two noodle bowls from the table before discreetly exiting the room. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief after closing the door.
It seemed like he sent these pastries at a bad time, didn’t he? No, it was Yun Xuexin who sent these pastries at the wrong time.
It’s just that things seemed awkward between these two ancestors. The depressive air inside made him afraid to take a breath. At this point, he couldn’t help but wonder where in the world Ghost Doctor’s people had taken Gray Wolf.
If Gray Wolf were here, he would not be the one sent by that person to bring something in front of Master and Ghost Doctor.
Yun Xuexin, clothed in white and looking lovely, sat at the table in the west courtyard guest room, lighting the lamp wick. As she watched the sparks get larger and the lights brighten up, making the view in the room clearer, an inexplicable smile appeared on her face. No one could tell what she was thinking.
Meanwhile, after leaving Feng Mansion, Feng Jiu went to Nalan Mo Chen’s house. She went over the wall and entered his courtyard, avoiding the inhabitants of the mansion.
After passing through the formation arrays he had set up outside and entering the courtyard, she didn’t see anyone. When she noticed the room’s light was on, she asked, “Have you slept yet?”
Nalan Mo Chen was surprised to hear Feng Jiu’s voice. He put the book away and went out. When he saw her in a red dress drinking wine at a table in the courtyard, he walked over.
“When did you come back?”
“Just today.” She took out a cup and poured him some wine.
“What makes you think of coming to my house for a drink?” He took a quick look at her and asked, “Are you in a bad mood?”
Feng Jiu gave him a quizzical look. “Who said I’m in a bad mood? I can’t count on you to have a drink with me?” She took the wine cup in her hand and drank it all in one gulp, and then poured another cup.”I’m here to ask, what did your Master mean when he told me to climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder?”
“I stayed there for a few months there, but I didn’t find anything special about the place,” she continued as she sipped her wine.
“You have now reached the Celestial level.” Nalan Mo Chen looked at her and spoke softly, “How can you say that it was nothing special? In my opinion, the breath on your body has changed significantly from what it used to be. I believe that not only should your strength have advanced, but also your mental state.”
“Mm, what you said is true. I don’t know much else, but I know that my cultivation strength has risen. I am now a cultivator at the Celestial level. I thought I would stay in Immortal Emperor level for a long time, but I had no idea that eating a lotus seed would boost my strength so much that I would finally make a breakthrough and become a Celestial level cultivator.”
She shook her winecup. “To say the least, this journey has not only driven away those who seek the ancient blue lotus in my body, but it has also resulted in a breakthrough in strength and gained a pond of the golden lotus. I have even climbed the strange and mysterious Immortal Ascension Ladder.”
Her voice sounded slightly nonchalant, with no ups and downs, as if she were discussing other people’s concerns. “It’s just that the higher the strength, the higher you stand, the duller you feel,” she said as she drank the wine and continued to pour.
“Do you know? I saw a lot of cultivators trying to climb up the Immortal Ascension Ladder and get to the top. But in the end, they either fell down on their own or were pushed down by the mighty pressure above. The small consequence was being gravely injured, while the big consequence was being crippled.”
“And I got to the top but didn’t enter the gate, ha ha.”
