She leaned close to Lu Jin'an's ear: "Master is curious about how much food you can feed after abstaining for over twenty days, but Qingyue took it all."
"Food!?" Hearing the keyword, Zhiyu perked up imdiately. As her dark dragon tail swayed, she sneaked a glance at Pei Wanyu and then looked at Lu Jin'an: "Master, food!"
"There's no food." Lu Jin'an looked at Zhiyu seriously, not wanting to lead the child astray.
"Zhiyu doesn't believe it!" Zhiyu reached out her small hand towards him, thodically presenting her analysis: "She, she didn't eat before, but now she does, so it must be tasty... Master has good food!"
Listening to Zhiyu, Lu Jin'an had only one thought; if this little girl channeled such intelligence into cultivation, it would be much better.
But still...
"Master, she's speaking much more fluently now."
"After so many days, it's ti she learned sothing, right?" Pei Wanyu smiled: "She can already control half of her demon energy now."
"Amazing." Lu Jin'an patted Zhiyu's head: "I'll make you a big cake!"
"Yay!" Zhiyu cheered, her attention imdiately shifting to the stove: "Cake! Cake!"
Watching her nodding and bouncing about, Lu Jin'an chuckled, thankful she was still a bit silly; otherwise, explanations would be more troubleso.
He turned his head to Pei Wanyu, returning to the previous topic: "Senior Sister's combat power far surpasses that of Master."
Pei Wanyu gave him a sidelong glance: "So, you can relieve your desires all at once and didn't co looking for ?"
"Master, please don't ask." Lu Jin'an smiled: "You'll only be frustrated."
"Master has been practicing that ancient thod every day." Pei Wanyu lifted her chin slightly: "Incomparable to the past!"
"Hmm, I'll find ti to investigate it."
Pei Wanyu pursed her red lips but reasoned that even if she perfected that ancient thod, it might still not match Qingyue's 'combat power.'
In her view, only Qingyue could withstand the full-force 'onslaught' of her good disciple for most of the day and still have energy to spare.
She looked at the side of Lu Jin'an's face, montarily tempted to flirt, but rembered there was still sothing to discuss and held back.
"The security line of the Southern Great Realm was breached twenty days ago, but it didn't cause much damage." Pei Wanyu said softly: "This ti, the Demon Cleansing needs to be advanced."
Lu Jin'an had never participated in the centennial Demon Cleansing but was naturally aware of the disaster caused by the Alien Species fifty thousand years ago.
Listening to Master speak, Lu Jin'an's hand movents in making the cream slowed a bit: "Is it urgent?"
"Wait for Qingyue to break through to the Demon Emperor realm." Pei Wanyu said softly: "There's an opportunity for her there."
Pei Wanyu briefly explained the heritage of the Parasol Tree, then continued: "Even if Qingyue breaks through, there's no rush. We still have to wait a few days to see how many Direct Disciples can enter the Tribulation Crossing Realm."
Lu Jin'an understood: "You want to lead the team?"
"Yes." Pei Wanyu nodded: "Although it's better to have stronger people go to the Southern Great Realm, in the centennial Demon Cleansing, no Immortal level demon has ever erged from the Southern Great Realm, so sending Immortals there does more harm than good. If they get infected, it will take a greater effort to suppress it."
Lu Jin'an nodded, and Pei Wanyu continued: "The Demon Cleansing lasts half a month; these are the things you will need to carry with you."
She wrote the nas of various Magic Treasures and Spirit Pills in mid-air using demon energy, all of which were Holy Artifacts and High Grade Elixir Pills.
Participating in the Demon Cleansing for the first ti, Lu Jin'an noted them one by one: "Not just anyone can handle the Demon Cleansing."
"Cultivators without equipnt can only remain on the periphery, as it was the main battlefield against the Alien Species fifty thousand years ago. Maybe with luck, you'll find so treasures."
"With so many years gone by, any treasures found must be heavily corroded, right?"
"Not necessarily." Pei Wanyu patted Lu Jin'an's back: "Immortal Artifacts, especially Lifebound Immortal Devices, aren't so easily corroded.
The power of the Alien Species doesn't corrode nature's spiritual energy as intensely, and Lifebound Immortal Devices are the fusion of 'intent' and 'Qi.'
Speaking of which, Pei Wanyu sighed softly: "In that battle, many Immortals fell, but their Lifebound Immortal Devices could continue fighting."
Lu Jin'an was silent for a mont before speaking: "After so many years, there likely aren't many Lifebound Immortal Devices that can endure to the present day..."
He shook his head, then changed the topic: "Where is the Parasol Tree?"
"This is the map of the Southern Great Realm from back then." Pei Wanyu placed a Jade Scroll on the stove: "But so many years have passed, with not much updating done, so whether the Parasol Tree still stands in its original spot is anyone's guess."
Lu Jin'an quickly grasped the situation.
Immortals certainly have the ans to search the entire eroded Southern Great Realm, but no one can guarantee that demon clans or clans close to demons won't seize the opportunity to make trouble.
On this basis, as long as no overly powerful demon erges in the Southern Great Realm, there's no need to pay too much attention to other matters.
"Advancing the Demon Cleansing..." Lu Jin'an looked at Pei Wanyu: "Has the Sect Master been arranging this with various clans recently?"
"He personally went to the Southern Great Realm, tossing many demons onto the side closer to the Demon Clan." Pei Wanyu smiled: "The Demon Clan Royal Court can only watch, after all, the energy of the Alien Species most restrains the bloodline of the Demon Clan, so they dare not emulate the Sect Master in throwing demons into the Southern Great Realm."
"Clans attached to the Demon Clan wouldn't dare risk their lives either, fearing being killed by the Sect Master, right?"
"Yes." Pei Wanyu looked at Lu Jin'an: "Protect Qingyue."
"I will."
"Also, though the Southern Great Realm is perilous, the Phoenix Clan certainly won't give up this opportunity."
Pei Wanyu crossed her arms and pondered: "I don't know much about the younger generation of the Phoenix Clan, but if they wish to enter the Southern Great Realm, they are likely to send Demon Emperors from the Fire Phoenix, Snow Phoenix, Thunder Bird, and Da Feng clans."
"There's another possibility." Lu Jin'an said softly: "They might cooperate with the Upper Realm Human Clan, each taking what they need."
"Yes, so we should also be wary of Upper Realm Possessors." Pei Wanyu tapped her finger lightly on her arm: "We must pay special attention."
"I actually think this is fine." Lu Jin'an's eyes lowered slightly: "Entering the Southern Great Realm, there's no need to trouble ourselves with proof or other ans to root out the Upper Realm Possessors; I'll just kill them, claiming they fell to the contamination of alien energy."
"That's indeed a benefit." Pei Wanyu smiled: "By the way, one more thing.
Qiu Qingtang hasn't returned to Taichu Hall since she exchanged for the Lin Chuan Tingxue Fan and erged from Heroic Spirit Valley. There's still ti, you should check if she was influenced or possessed by sothing from Heroic Spirit Valley."
"Got it." Lu Jin'an smiled: "Proving this is quite simple, leave it to ."
"Alright." Pei Wanyu patted his shoulder: "Master will go check on Qingyue."
After watching Master leave, Lu Jin'an scooped a spoonful of cream and fed it to Zhiyu.
Zhiyu's eyes curved in a happy expression: "So delicious... Zhiyu, wants more!"
"Go out and wait, it's not done yet."
"Nooo, nooo."
"Just one more bite, or you won't get a whole piece."
"Two bites, two bites, okay!"
"Agreed, just two bites."
"Mmm mmm... Master is so yummy."
To have a complete cake, Zhiyu reluctantly left the kitchen after eating two bites.
With every three steps she took, she turned back, suddenly rembering sothing.
What was the delicious thing that Master's Master so fiercely wanted to eat earlier?
Master said there's none... Stingy!
Lu Jin'an had no idea what this little girl was thinking. As soon as she left, Lu Jin'an imdiately closed the kitchen door and, at the fastest speed, made a five-layer cake and prepared a hearty al.
The reason for keeping guard against Zhiyu was to prevent her from seeing how fast he cooked, otherwise, with her talent for all things edible, she would surely cling to him incessantly.
Once done, Lu Jin'an applied a slightly more refined Space Rule on the cake than last ti, then brought out the feast and cast a Barrier to keep it warm.
Within the Barrier, Zhiyu eagerly lunged at the cake but was blocked by the Space Rule, her young gaze turning resentful as she watched Lu Jin'an's departing figure.
Lu Jin'an didn't look back, heading straight down the mountain towards Yun ng Cliff.
He thought that the likelihood of Qiu Qingtang being possessed wasn't high, but he was more curious about why this pink-haired fox had been so quiet lately.
The Qiu's Fox Clan behind Qiu Qingtang was not a small force in Qingqiu, and she was a key mber of the Qiu's Fox Clan...
Regardless of the perspective, it's necessary to find out the true intentions of this colorful fox.
