At an age ant for peaceful aging, Xuu ngyuan was still assigned by the sect to guard Guangde County, staying for more than ten years, never setting foot outside Guangde County during that ti.
The bitterness is beyond words.
Now, she has already hurt her Dao Body, and her vitality has been severely damaged, no longer curable by ordinary elixirs.
To completely cure old ailnts, it’s necessary to purchase so Healing Holy dicine for treatnt.
But those Divine Elixirs often cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones, sothing the Cyan Mountain Sect cannot afford right now.
Bringing Xuu ngyuan back to the Cyan Mountain Sect under the guise of healing was, in truth, more about letting her spend the last year of her life peacefully, enjoying the blessings she missed before.
"There’s no need for that, what you are thinking cannot escape the eyes of this old man, after all, I’ve eaten salt for decades more than you."
Xuu ngyuan shook her head with a smile, refusing the kindness of the two.
"This is my fate; I have no complaints in my heart, only pity that once I leave, Guangde County can no longer be under my protection."
"Originally, I wanted to live for a few more decades to witness the citizens in the city beco prosperous and peaceful, to see the sect grow stronger day by day, but these desires can only be realized by you on my behalf."
At this point, Xuu ngyuan showed a hint of regret, but then forced a smile.
"Let’s not talk about this. My injuries are minor, you need not worry about ."
"Matters of longevity, it’s not sothing that can be restored just by talking about it."
Xuu ngyuan’s tone was inevitably sowhat pessimistic, but her mind was very open; she had already co to terms with life and death, only among fellow sect mbers did she express a few thoughts, remaining silent with outsiders.
"Father, are you there?"
Upon hearing Xuu ngyuan’s words, Lu Zhiwei realized her persuasion was futile. She thought for a mont and tried calling softly.
Regarding Xuu ngyuan’s lifespan, perhaps her father could help.
"I am always here."
As soon as she asked, Lu Ping’s voice entered Lu Zhiwei’s mind.
Lu Zhiwei’s expression lit up with joy, quickly saying, "Father, can you help with Elder Xuu’s situation?"
Since her father was nearby, she guessed Lu Ping must be aware of Xuu ngyuan’s physical condition.
"I’ll try."
Lu Ping opened the system panel and checked the Reputation Points.
[Reputation: 1043]
Then, he opened the System Mall and found among the products [Two-Star: Life Extension].
This item required 1000 Reputation Points to be exchanged.
Although a bit expensive, Lu Ping did not hesitate, exchanged [Two-Star: Life Extension], and used it on Xuu ngyuan.
Once the effect was triggered, Xuu ngyuan suddenly felt a surge of life force fill her previously depleted and lethargic body, an indescribably magical force.
In just an instant, everything beca different.
She felt renewed vitality, gained a new lifespan, and couldn’t help but show a face of surprise.
"What... what is going on...? I feel as if a life force has inexplicably filled my body, increasing my lifespan..."
"What has happened to ?"
Surprise aside, it was more of joy and confusion.
Xuu ngyuan found herself montarily tongue-tied.
Seeing Xuu ngyuan’s expression of joy, even Lu Zhiwei, no matter how dull, knew what had happened.
Her father had just responded with "I’ll try," clearly indicating he had acted to address Xuu ngyuan’s loss of vitality and lifespan, and it seed the outco was promising.
"Elder ng Yuan, has your lifespan...been restored sowhat?"
Lu Changfeng spoke up, his voice carrying a hint of disbelief, unsure whether this was real.
Especially since, under his watch, Xuu ngyuan’s lifespan seed restored in such a short ti, which was incredibly hard to believe.
Wait, father...
Could it be father’s doing again?
Upon this thought, Lu Changfeng suddenly realized, and just as he was about to call his father to inquire, Lu Ping’s voice echoed simultaneously in the minds of Lu Changfeng, Lu Zhiwei, and Xuu ngyuan.
"Elder Xuu, you have worked hard guarding Guangde County all these years."
Hearing Lu Ping’s voice, Xuu ngyuan’s body shuddered, feeling incredulous.
Joining the Cyan Mountain Sect over eighty years ago, being among the first disciples recruited by Lu Ping, having received Lu Ping’s guidance and seen Lu Ping’s true visage, she undoubtedly recognized Lu Ping’s voice.
At this mont, thinking about the magical change in her body, how could she remain calm, imdiately looking around in excitent.
"Ancestor, ancestor, is that you?"
"Indeed, I am the founder of Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Ping."
Xuu ngyuan was overwheld with emotion, wanting to bow down to Lu Ping but couldn’t find Lu Ping’s figure, only looking around stunned.
"Don’t look, I am only communicating via sound transmission, it is inconvenient for us to et."
Lu Ping’s voice ca, resolving the doubt proactively: "Recently, what you felt within your body was exactly my doing."
"Xuu ngyuan, you have at least five years to live. I have extended your life by five years, and you must continue to strive for the sect for another five years, keeping watch over Guangde County."
"Thank you, ancestor!"
Xuu ngyuan’s eyes welled up with tears: "I shall certainly not disappoint the ancestor’s expectations!"
Heaven bless the Cyan Mountain Sect, the ancestor had been in secluded cultivation for thirty-one years, now finally awake; the Cyan Mountain Sect has a promising future and will undoubtedly thrive.
"Hmm, no need for pleasantries, practice diligently, and be loyal in duty."
"Keep my awakening a secret."
After these words, Lu Ping cut off the sound transmission.
Xuu ngyuan found the communication lost, and only after a mont of excitent did she calm her mind, unable to resist kneeling towards the direction of Cyan Mountain Sect, bowing three tis.
Clearly, this kneeling was for Lu Ping.
...
After eliminating the Gu Daoist, Lu Zhiwei and several others set off to leave Guangde County, returned to the Cyan Mountain Sect, and explained the situation of the Gu Daoist to Lu Yuanshan.
anwhile, also handed over to Lu Yuanshan the Shenxiao Decree for safekeeping.
"Big brother, the Gu Daoist’s cultivation has reached the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation, combined with his magic, he is already a match for a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation Cultivator."
"Moreover, he holds both the Shenxiao Decree and the Shenxiao Palace’s inherited technique, the Shenxiao Thunder Control Scripture; it’s highly likely he is a disciple of Shenxiao Palace."
"Why this disciple of Shenxiao Palace would appear in Guangde County is another matter for now."
"And causing harm to the people for practicing Gu Technique is set aside for now, but after we dealt with him today, should Shenxiao Palace learn of it... would we have offended Shenxiao Palace?"
Lu Zhiwei expressed her concern.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanshan fell into deep thought, only speaking after a while.
"Shenxiao Palace is a major sect of the Chu Kingdom, truly the orthodox Profound Sect; they are skilled in commanding Thunder Technique and inherently adept at suppressing demon fiends, a thorn in the eyes of demons, it is impossible for them to allow their disciples to practice Evil Technique Gu Technique and harm civilians, engaging in demon-like acts."
"This Gu Daoist must have committed so wrongful acts and is already disdained by Shenxiao Palace, hence lingering in the domain of Lushan County."
Saying this, Lu Yuanshan’s expression turned grave.
"Little sister need not worry, if Shenxiao Palace does co questioning, you and I shall simply inform them of the Gu Daoist’s cris in Guangde County honestly. I reckon the true orthodox of Shenxiao Palace, the Profound Sect, will discern right from wrong and won’t make things difficult for us."
"That’s a valid point from big brother."
Lu Changfeng spoke up: "I am just worried that the Shenxiao Decree might be reclaid by Shenxiao Palace eventually."
"If it happens, we’ll just return it to its rightful owner."
"The Shenxiao Decree of Shenxiao Palace isn’t sold externally, presumably not allowed to remain outside."
