Chapter 23 The Opening of the Cangnan Secret Realm
Reading Settings
Lu Yuanxing looked Lu Fuyue up and down, but found that he couldn't tell her exact cultivation level at all.
In the cultivation world, there are only three reasons why you can't tell someone's cultivation level: one is that their cultivation level is higher than yours, two is that they have no cultivation level, and three is that they have a magical artifact that can conceal their cultivation level.
Since Fu Yue was able to come up to the third floor of the library, it means that she has cultivation. However, Fu Yue is still young, and no matter how talented she is, it is impossible for her to reach a level of cultivation that surpasses his current level at the age of fifteen.
Then she must possess a magical artifact that conceals her cultivation level.
However, since her cultivation level did not reach the Golden Core stage, how did she manage to reach it?
Although Lu Yuanxing had doubts, he did not ask. Everyone has their own opportunities and secrets, and the most taboo thing in the cultivation world is to pry into other people's opportunities.
Lu Yuanxing looked at Lu Fuyue with a worried expression. There were only half a year left until Fuyue turned sixteen.
I wonder if she'll be able to make it past sixteen.
Lu Fuyue was unaware of Lu Yuanxing's worries. She was preoccupied with the demonic cultivation technique in her mind, fearing that it might accidentally reveal itself and cause trouble, so she was in a hurry to leave.
So she said,
"Senior Brother, I came here just to find a cultivation technique suitable for water-elemental roots, but I haven't found a suitable one after looking around."
"In that case, I'll take my leave."
Just as Lu Fuyue was about to leave, Lu Yuanxing called her back.
"etc."
Lu Fuyue paused, her heart pounding. Could it be that her senior brother had just seen something...?
"Is there anything else, senior brother?" She forced herself to calm down.
Lu Yuanxing pondered for a moment, "It seems that the third floor doesn't have the cultivation method for water spirit roots, but Master should have it. I'll ask him for you when I go to see Master later?"
Lu Fuyue was taken aback, and the weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted. She had thought her senior brother had discovered something.
Lu Fuyue slowly said, "Then thank you very much, Senior Brother."
Lu Yuanxing smiled, then reached out and ruffled Lu Fuyue's hair.
"It's only been five years since we last met, and you've become so distant from your senior brother. Back when you were just a tiny little kid, you were sickly, but your eyes would light up whenever you saw me."
Lu Yuanxing paused, his eyes filled with seriousness.
“Fuyue, your senior brother will always be your senior brother. In your senior brother’s heart, you will always be that child who needs to be taken care of.”
"So if you've been wronged, don't hesitate to come to your senior brother."
A wave of emotion welled up in Lu Fuyue's heart, and her eyes reddened slightly, "Senior Brother..."
In that book, after the senior brother emerged from seclusion and learned of her death, he always suspected that her death was related to Mo Qianci and Bai Lianlian.
So he recklessly beat Mo Qianci, leaving her half-dead, and then his senior brother was punished by the sect.
Years later, when Mo Qianci had a stroke of luck and his cultivation level skyrocketed, his senior brother became the first target of his revenge.
In the end, the originally talented senior brother had his cultivation destroyed by Mo Qianci, his dantian ruined, his legs broken, and was left in a dilapidated temple in the mortal realm to become a beggar.
From then on, the cultivation world no longer had Lu Yuanxing, the eldest disciple under the sect leader of the Tianxuan Sect.
Lu Fuyue's hands, hanging by her sides, tightened involuntarily. She vowed that this time, she would never let the tragedy repeat itself.
Her senior brother must always be that upright and virtuous senior brother.
She was determined to kill Mo Qianci, even if it meant defying the will of Heaven and ultimately being annihilated!
Seeing Lu Fuyue like this, Lu Yuanxing thought she had suffered some injustice, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. So he quickly reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of Lu Fuyue's eyes with his fingers.
"What's wrong? Don't cry. If you've been wronged, tell your senior brother and he'll help you fight back."
Lu Fuyue looked up at Lu Yuanxing, her eyes red-rimmed. "It's nothing, I just haven't seen my senior brother in so long, I'm just too excited."
Lu Yuanxing breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright."
He then took a small box out of his storage bag.
Lu Fuyue took the small box with some doubt and opened it. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. It was actually a piece of water spirit jade, and the quality of this piece was obviously better than the one her mother had left her.
"Senior Brother, what's going on?"
Lu Yuanxing sighed and put the water spirit jade on Lu Fuyue's head.
"Elder Dan said that the Water Spirit Jade can nourish your body. I was thinking that if I had a few more pieces, maybe your body would get better."
"Unfortunately, I've been searching for five years and this is the only piece I've found."
Lu Fuyue was filled with mixed feelings, so her senior brother hadn't actually gone into seclusion, but had gone to find the Water Spirit Jade for her...
...
After returning to her cave, Lu Fuyue tried various methods but failed to retrieve the demonic cultivation manual. Fortunately, she received a message from her senior brother.
The Cangnan Secret Realm is about to open.
The Cangnan Secret Realm is one of the most famous secret realms in the cultivation world, but it can only be entered by Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators.
The Cangnan Secret Realm holds many opportunities. Some people have experienced a significant increase in cultivation after leaving there; others have found the Spirit Cleansing Herb to remove excess spiritual roots and improve their cultivation aptitude...
Perhaps in that place, she could find something to wake up Mizusawa earlier.
However, each sect has a limited number of slots, so to ensure fairness, a sect competition is held to select those who can enter the secret realm.
It was divided into two groups: the Golden Core Group and the Foundation Establishment Group.
Only the top three teams in each group will have the opportunity to enter the secret realm.
Cultivating immortality is actually about competing for opportunities, so every sect competition will have many people who are usually inconspicuous but break through the encirclement during the competition.
That night,
As Lu Fuyue closed her eyes and sat cross-legged on a palm-leaf fan to meditate, the bright moonlight shone through the window onto her, and gradually Lu Fuyue seemed to be bathed in the moonlight.
At the same time, the demonic cultivation technique within her sea of consciousness began to emit black energy. Under the influence of moonlight, the black energy slowly and cautiously entered Lu Fuyue's dantian through her meridians, gradually corrupting her spiritual energy.
Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Lu Fuyue's forehead. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her brows furrowed as if she were experiencing some kind of pain. However, she still did not wake up, as if she was bound by something.
The area around Lu Fuyue's dantian had been swallowed up by the black energy, which then began to attack the center of the dantian.
Unexpectedly, just as the black energy reached the very center of the dantian, a tai chi symbol suddenly appeared out of thin air from the center of the dantian and began to spin rapidly. The black energy was immediately pulled over by the black part of the tai chi symbol and completely absorbed in one go.
After absorbing the black energy, the Tai Chi diagram grew larger and looked even more mysterious.
A moment later, the Tai Chi diagram disappeared into Lu Fuyue's dantian. However, before it disappeared, a wisp of white energy separated from the Tai Chi diagram and traveled along the meridians from the dantian to repair the residual black energy that had just been left behind.
...
When Lu Fuyue opened her eyes, it was already broad daylight outside.
When she got up, she felt an indescribable soreness all over her body, as if someone had beaten her up while she was asleep.
