Chapter 120 Reunion with the Law Enforcement Elder
Reading Settings
As Lu Fuyue stepped into the Hall of Law Enforcement, the elder who was drinking tea immediately sensed a familiar presence. He paused, somewhat incredulous. Could it be... Fuyue has returned...?
Just then, a voice rang out. Lu Fuyue stood not far away, smiling as she looked at him, "Uncle Law Enforcement, I'm back."
He turned to look at the person who had just arrived, and immediately stood up abruptly. "Fu Yue, is it really you?"
Lu Fuyue nodded. "It's me, Uncle Law Enforcement."
The law enforcement elder looked her up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Lu Fuyue was not injured. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"Do you know that we all thought you... we all thought you had perished in the Cangnan Secret Realm?"
Just as Lu Fuyue was about to say something, the Enforcement Elder suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "You actually broke through to the Golden Core stage?"
The fastest cultivator in the cultivation world right now is Yan Nanfei, the junior brother of the number one genius on the genius list.
When Yan Nanfei broke through to the Golden Core stage, he was only in his forties, which shocked the entire cultivation world. Then, he defeated several of the top ten geniuses on the list and continued to cultivate. Now, at less than a hundred years old, he has reached the half-step Nascent Soul stage and has become the undisputed number one on the genius list.
Back when Fu Yue left, she was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. Now, in just over ten years, she has broken through to the Golden Core stage. Her cultivation speed is much faster than Yan Nanfei's.
Moreover, Fu Yue broke through to the Golden Core stage at a much younger age than Yan Nanfei, so it seems that although she survived this near-death experience, she did not come away empty-handed.
Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes. "It was just some fortuitous encounter."
After a long while, the law enforcement elder looked at her with complicated feelings and sighed softly. How could he not see that this girl's cultivation was solid and solid, clearly the result of her cultivation step by step. To be able to break through to the Golden Core stage in more than ten years, she must have suffered a lot.
Even though she had great opportunities, her journey was not easy.
The elder in charge of law enforcement added, "If your mother were still alive, she would be very proud of you."
Lu Fuyue was startled, recalling the woman with a faint breath from her memory.
She was only seven years old when her mother died.
In her memory, her mother was always gentle and kind. When she had an attack and vomited blood, her mother would gently hold her and hum a tune in her ear; when she was bored while playing, her mother would teach her to play the zither...
She has loved music since childhood, partly due to her mother's influence.
At that time, Lu Zhengming rarely visited her and her mother. Each time he came, he would only say a few words and then leave.
When the elder of law enforcement saw Lu Fuyue's appearance, he guessed that she was thinking of her mother.
However, there are some things I can't tell her yet.
With her current level of cultivation, she is not yet capable of facing what her mother left her.
A moment later, Lu Fuyue suddenly came to her senses. Her purpose in coming here was twofold: first, to visit Uncle Law Enforcement, and second, to give him the Phoenix Life Pill.
Lu Fuyue took out a jade bottle from her storage ring and handed it to him, "Uncle Law Enforcement, this is a pill I obtained by chance, which can treat the hidden injuries in your body."
The elder was taken aback. He took the jade bottle, opened it, and a faint fragrance of elixir wafted out. Instantly, his body felt lighter, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"This is... the legendary Phoenix Life Pill, a rankless elixir?"
Lu Fuyue nodded. "Not bad."
The elder immediately handed the pill back to her, saying, "No, this is too precious. You should keep it."
“You will definitely have to go out and train in the future, and you will inevitably get injured. This pill will be more useful to you.”
Lu Fuyue smiled but did not accept the pill. "Uncle Law Enforcement, I have another one here. I specially found this one for you. How can you bear to disappoint my good intentions?"
The elder in charge of law enforcement was silent for a moment, then he said, “In that case, I will accept this pill.”
His cultivation level has remained stagnant for so many years precisely because of the hidden injuries he suffered in the past. These injuries are too old to be treated with ordinary elixirs.
This child is thoughtful.
Lu Fuyue nodded, then suddenly asked, "Uncle Enforcement, why did Master suddenly go into seclusion?"
Within the Tianxuan Sect, very few people knew that she and Elder Dan were master and disciple, but the Enforcement Elder happened to be one of them.
The elder of law enforcement recalled this matter and his gaze instantly fell on Lu Fuyue. He then slowly said, "After the news of your death came, your master was so heartbroken that he gradually stopped caring about the affairs of the Alchemy Peak. Later, he even abandoned the Alchemy Peak and went into seclusion."
"The Alchemy Peak originally existed because of him. Without him in charge, the Alchemy Peak is slowly showing signs of decline."
"I don't know when he will emerge from seclusion."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fuyue's heart sank. No wonder she only saw a few new disciples who had just arrived when she went to the Alchemy Peak yesterday. So that's why.
Lu Fuyue was silent for a moment before speaking slowly and deliberately, "As Master's only disciple, I will not allow Alchemy Peak to fall into defeat."
The chief of law enforcement was taken aback. "Aren't you going out to gain experience?"
Lu Fuyue: "I will go out, but not now."
...
After visiting the law enforcement elder, the news of Lu Fuyue's resurrection spread like wildfire throughout the entire Tianxuan Sect.
"Have you heard? Senior Sister Lu is back."
"Senior Sister Lu? Which Senior Sister Lu?"
"Oh dear, which Senior Sister Lu could it be? It's none other than Senior Sister Lu who fought her way through the encirclement and defeated the half-step Golden Core cultivator in the sect competition."
"Oh, I remember now, after the sect competition, she also had a Daoist name, called Fairy Qin Sha. Is that her?"
"Yes, that's her. I heard that Senior Sister Lu not only didn't die, but also broke through to the Golden Core stage?"
"What? When Senior Sister Lu left the sect, she was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. How come she reached the Golden Core stage in just over ten years? Her cultivation speed is too fast."
"If this is true, then wouldn't Senior Sister Lu be even more talented than Junior Uncle?"
...
In the following days, Lu Fuyue moved to the Alchemy Peak. When she became an apprentice, her master specially opened a cave dwelling for her on the Alchemy Peak. This cave dwelling was located at the peak where the spiritual energy was most abundant, and it was no less than her original cave dwelling.
Master has gone into seclusion, so almost no one remains on Alchemy Peak.
Today, almost all the pills used by Tianxuan Sect come from the Alchemy Sect.
When Lu Fuyue returned to the Alchemy Peak, she saw Jiang Huaixu and the other two tending to the spiritual plants they had planted on the peak.
The girl in gray stood with her hands on her hips, directing the people bustling around her, "You silly fatso, hurry up and water this spirit-replenishing herb with some spirit rain."
"Coming, coming, Xiaxia, I'm coming right now."
The chubby little boy ran nimbly toward Jiang Xiaxia.
