Because Pavilion Master Shangguan has always been vigilant about the possibility of this Dual Cultivation Soul thod being a conspiracy against the Human Clan, he has been keeping an eye on it. Later, according to his deductions, the trace of this Phoenix Saint disappeared within the Life Wheel of Yunding, probably indicating death."
Lu Jin’an pondered, "Perhaps it was due to committing such an outrageous act that the Upper Realm Demon Clan besieged them?"
"Perhaps." Liu Rong nodded, then asked, "Where did you see this Soul Technique?"
"The Fifth Floor." Lu Jin’an replied, "When I found it, it was placed on the bookshelf in the form of a book. I read it several tis; it is indeed exquisite."
"Where is this Soul thod now?" Liu Rong asked urgently.
"In my Senior Sister’s hands."
Liu Rong glanced at Lu Jin’an, thinking the Saint Heir probably wanted to cultivate this Dual Cultivation Soul thod.
"But according to what you said..." Lu Jin’an picked up the ginger water with brown sugar from the table, "Could it be that this Dual Cultivation Soul thod was deliberately placed in our Wanfa Pavilion by soone?"
"Hmm." Liu Rong nodded, "The Wandao Sect definitely wouldn’t have this Soul thod."
Lu Jin’an furrowed his brows slightly, who could have intentionally placed this Soul thod there?
Moreover, only I and Senior Sister have seen this Soul thod so far. If other disciples had seen or borrowed it, Master Liu and Elder Deng would surely have heard about it.
’What is the purpose of placing it in Wanfa Pavilion? And placing it in such an obvious spot, yet only I discovered it. Was it intentionally left for to practice?’
Lu Jin’an pondered, "We must find out who placed this Soul thod, and we can’t investigate openly."
"I will go and ask the Sect Master. Coincidentally, Pavilion Master Shangguan is also there, to see their opinions." Liu Rong nodded, "Saint Heir, may I borrow and read this Soul thod later?"
Lu Jin’an made a sound of agreent, "Thanks, Master Liu."
"This matter is of great importance." Liu Rong’s expression turned serious, "If it’s a conspiracy of the Upper Realm Demon Clan, then it would be terrible."
With that said, he left the room. Lu Jin’an also took his leave from Elder Deng and went to find his Senior Sister.
······
Taiyi Peak.
The hurried Liu Rong saw the Sect Master and Pavilion Master Shangguan, who were still sparring their Daoist Skills on the plaza of Taiyi Hall, and quietly waited.
Zheng Dongliu glanced at him, "You hurriedly left just now and now co back in a rush, did sothing happen?"
Liu Rong bowed slightly, "The Saint Heir discovered the ’Seeking Joy Soul Refining Skill’ in Wanfa Pavilion."
"Hmm?" Shangguan Qizheng put away his Daoist Skill, "Really?"
"Such is its na, but as for the content..." Liu Rong looked at Pavilion Master Shangguan, "Since none of us have seen it, we can’t be sure, but the Saint Heir does say it’s indeed a Dual Cultivation Soul thod, and a very exquisite one at that."
Shangguan Qizheng’s eyes brightened, "I’ll go find him, see if we can deduce any secrets from this Soul thod..."
"No need." Zheng Dongliu spoke slowly, "You all pretend not to know about this."
"Hmm?" Shangguan Qizheng looked at Zheng Dongliu in surprise, "This Soul thod appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly and is especially related to the Upper Realm’s Black Phoenix Clan. It should be investigated."
Zheng Dongliu shook his head, "No need, soone will handle this matter well."
He didn’t know which Phoenix Saint this Soul thod ca from, but he was clear about Pei Wanyu’s identity, thus suspecting that Phoenix Saint might be related to Pei Wanyu.
Therefore, the ’Seeking Joy Soul Refining Skill’ could very well be quietly placed in Wanfa Pavilion by Pei Wanyu... after all, Jin’an and Mu Qingyue have a close relationship, and it’s normal for Pei Wanyu to wish to matchmake them.
Zheng Dongliu did not think Pei Wanyu had any intent to harm Lu Jin’an, and even if Pei Wanyu was indeed of ’an alien race, her heart must be different’, within the Wandao Sect, he was confident of nipping any harm to Lu Jin’an in the bud.
Moreover, he believed in Jin’an more... Jin’an would not choose a Dual Cultivation thod to enhance the Divine Soul as Dual Cultivations have too many constraints.
Jin’an wouldn’t make a foolish mistake regarding such an important choice of a cultivation thod.
"Soone will handle it well?" Shangguan Qizheng frowned at Zheng Dongliu, "Old fellow, are you hiding sothing from ?"
"It’s no big deal." Zheng Dongliu crossed his hands behind his back, "I can only say that it has sothing to do with Jin’an."
After a pause, he added, "You don’t have to calculate and overly ddle with the affairs of youngsters; I have a good grasp of the situation."
Shangguan Qizheng blew his beard in irritation, "You old fellow... forget it, this is a dostic affair of your Wandao Sect, I won’t bother."
"Hmm." Zheng Dongliu looked toward Liu Rong, "I know you’re also curious about that Soul thod, but for now, don’t get involved."
Liu Rong bowed, "Understood."
He felt a bit regretful and then began to ponder how to explain it to the Saint Heir.
The Saint Heir is wise... so coming up with a relatively reasonable excuse is sowhat challenging.
Liu Rong thought as he left Taiyi Peak.
Inside the Wanfa Pavilion.
Lu Jin’an, who went up to the Sixth Level, found Mu Qingyue and handed her the ginger water with brown sugar, "Senior Sister, there’s no need to rush; it’s okay if we can’t find it for now."
"Urgent." Mu Qingyue accepted the cup, took a sip of the ginger water that was just the right temperature, and her expression softened a bit, "This Soul thod... is very exquisite."
"The more haste, the less speed." Lu Jin’an smiled slightly, "Being so anxious, you might miss so not-so-easy-to-notice corners."
Mu Qingyue didn’t respond, simply continued her anxious search.
Seeing her appearance, Lu Jin’an knew she hadn’t listened.
"Senior Sister, there’s no need to major in a Dual Cultivation Soul thod." Lu Jin’an said seriously, "Take the essence and discard the dross, as in my case."
Hearing this, Mu Qingyue’s grip on the cup tightened slightly, her voice remained aloof, "Junior Brother took so essence?"
"Yes." Lu Jin’an smiled faintly, "So parts suit ."
Mu Qingyue drank from the cup slowly, "Junior Brother can extract essence from Immortal Law, quite impressive, truly comndable."
"So there’s no need for Senior Sister to worry over this Soul thod. If you wish for the Divine Souls to rge, I wouldn’t mind accompanying you." Lu Jin’an chuckled, "How about it?"
After a brief pause, he added, "Moreover, since this Soul thod originates from the Huang Clan, it would be wise to be cautious."
"How does Junior Brother know this?" Mu Qingyue asked calmly.
Lu Jin’an recounted what had occurred earlier, to which Mu Qingyue responded, "Yes, as Junior Brother ntioned, take the essence and discard the dross...
Junior Brother, I’m not foolish."
"Hmm." Lu Jin’an nodded, "As long as Senior Sister understands."
"Yeah, Junior Brother, you continue with your tasks." Mu Qingyue lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, "I’ll keep looking."
"Alright." Lu Jin’an did not continue disturbing his shy Senior Sister and turned to walk down the stairs to perfect his own Soul thod further.
As Lu Jin’an descended, Mu Qingyue held onto the bookshelf, breathing becoming rapid, "So Junior Brother knows its origins...
But it’s fine; he’s already practiced it, and once practiced... that’s good."
Thinking so, she placed the cup near the edge of the bookshelf, gently took out a ticulously crafted black collar, and lifted it before her face, her slender fingers caressing the surface of the collar lightly.
Her cheeks reddened further, and the smile at her lips grew broader, her breathing more rapid, "Soon, I can use it～"
Mu Qingyue tilted her head, pondering, "Would it look better with a bell? What color should it be?"
She hugged the collar to her chest, giggling softly, "To beco a slave dog...";
"A relationship unmatched by anyone else..."
Gradually regaining control of her breath, Mu Qingyue ’looked’ at the bookshelf, pondering for a while, she decided not to place the lower volu of "Seeking Joy Soul Refining Skill" in Wanfa Pavilion today.
Otherwise, the trace would be too obvious, besides Junior Brother seemingly hasn’t discovered a hidden attribute in the upper volu.
"He must know this attribute... how should I inform him..."
Mu Qingyue tilted her head, an image of Pei Wanyu forming in her mind.
Previously, deliberately allowing ’mother’ to witness her intent to cultivate this Dual Cultivation Soul thod, ’mother’ should serve her purpose soon.
Putting away the collar, Mu Qingyue placed a hand over her abdon, "But, need to wait five days, in five days it will be over...
Junior Brother will surely be pleased too～"
Mu Qingyue resud her ’urgent’ search for the lower volu of the Dual Cultivation Soul thod.
Lu Jin’an once again t with Master Liu.
Liu Rong looked at Lu Jin’an and smiled slightly, "According to Pavilion Master Shangguan, the ’Seeking Joy Soul Refining Skill’ you discovered should be a residual copy from the past, possibly incomplete...
How exactly it appeared in Wanfa Pavilion, I’ll leave that to you to investigate... that’s the Sect Master’s wish."
Lu Jin’an nodded, "Then I’ll hand over this Soul thod to you later..."
"No need." Liu Rong shook his head, "If it’s a copy, I’m not that interested. I need to leave the sect today to attend to matters in the Eastern Realm."
Lu Jin’an looked at Liu Rong, surprised, thinking a copy still originates from the original; why was Master Liu, usually interested in all sorts of Cultivation Techniques, suddenly uninterested?
"Saint Heir, I’ll take my leave first."
"Hmm." Lu Jin’an bowed, "Safe travels."
