Mo Xianyun: Young Master Lu, the Spiritual Qi concentration on this mountain...

Looking at Jiang Shiqing, Lu Yang couldn't help but feel that his little maid seemed even more lecherous than he was.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

Lu Yang shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

He then handed over a Marrow-Washing Profound-Penetrating Fruit.

The spirit fruit was entirely black, and beneath its jade-like skin, countless tiny golden lights flowed and shimmered, as if a small patch of starry sky was imprisoned inside the fruit.

"This is the Marrow-Washing Profound-Penetrating Fruit, which can improve the quality of your Spirit Root and elevate it to the superior grade."

Jiang Shiqing was originally thinking about how to have fun with the young master, but upon hearing this, her eyes flashed violently, and tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

High-Grade Spirit Root!

She still remembers the disappointed look in the Lineage elder's eyes when she was diagnosed with Low-Grade Spirit Root as a child.

Having spent so many years struggling in the Taibai Mountain Range, she understands better than anyone what Spirit Roots mean.

"Young Master..."

She couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed over to hug Lu Yang, her red lips repeatedly landing on his cheeks and the corners of his mouth.

Her movements were passionate yet clumsy, as if she wanted to give everything she had to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang gently patted Jiang Shiqing's lower back and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, we haven't finished giving you all the things yet."

Jiang Shiqing sucked on his lower lip hard before reluctantly letting go.

Lu Yang gently stroked Jiang Shiqing's flushed face, the warmth of her skin traveling through his fingertips.

Jiang Shiqing looked up at Lu Yang, rubbing her cheek against Lu Yang palm repeatedly, like an exceptionally clingy kitten.

Lu Yang gently pinched her burning cheeks, then took out an ancient-looking manual.

The manual's cover was dark blue, with the four characters "True Explanation of the Azure Waves" written on it in silver seal script.

It exudes a faint Spiritual Qi of Water Dao, and when you touch it with your fingertips, you can feel a warm and cool texture, like holding a piece of jade soaking in spring water.

"This is Earth Grade Supreme Quality Water Dao Cultivation Method called 'The True Explanation of the Azure Waves.' You specialize in Water Dao, so take it and start practicing."

Jiang Shiqing's pupils dilated violently again.

But she was already somewhat numb from what had happened before, and at this moment she just looked at Lu Yang with longing and nodded gently. "Whatever you say, young master."

Lu Yang smiled with satisfaction, "Good boy."

He then took out two more Law Treasure.

It was a palm-sized, silver-white sphere with edges as thin as cicada wings, its entire body shimmering with a pale blue light.

This is the Supreme-Grade Law Artifact, the White Frost Water-Covering Wheel, which was obtained from the favorability reward given to Jiang Shiqing.

The other item is a ring with a deep blue jade inlaid on the face, and fine water patterns flowing slowly deep within the jade's core.

The Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact, the Water-Controlling True Spirit Ring.

Lu Yang originally planned to find an opportunity to give these two Law Treasures to Jiang Shiqing to increase her favorability towards him.

To his surprise, Jiang Shiqing's favorability towards him increased much faster than he had anticipated.

He hadn't even given away the Beauty-Preserving Pill and those two Law Treasures yet, and Jiang Shiqing's favorability rating was already maxed out.

Lu Yang felt that the main reason was that his current charm was too strong, and female cultivators found it difficult to resist his charm.

He handed over the two Law Treasure: "These two Law Treasure, one offensive and one defensive, are both Water Dao Law Treasure. They're both good for you. You can use them."

Jiang Shiqing obediently accepted it, her fingertips stroking the cool surface of the White Frost Water-Covering Wheel, and then touching the spirit jade that shimmered with water light in the Water-Controlling True Spirit Ring, her eyes reddening slightly.

Any one of these items, if placed outside, would be enough to move the female cultivator.

And what about her?

The young master gave them a huge pile without even blinking.

She had no idea how many lifetimes of good fortune she had accumulated to meet the young master and gain his favor.

She could never leave the young master for the rest of her life.

If the young master is not here one day, she will follow him and continue to serve him there.

Pshaw!

What kind of nonsense is going on in my head?

A man of your stature, young master, might one day ascend to immortality and live as long as heaven and earth!

I must also cultivate diligently, and strive to ascend to immortality with you, young master, so that I may serve you even after we reach the Immortal Realm!

While Jiang Shiqing was lost in thought, Lu Yang snapped his fingers.

The next moment, Wang Shiyi, Wang Shisan, and Wang Shiwu appeared.

Jiang Shiqing was startled when she saw the three female bodyguard puppets that suddenly appeared.

Her pretty face flushed red, and she quickly pulled the blanket up above her collarbone, wrapping herself up tightly.

She hasn't even put her clothes on yet...

The three female cultivators had ordinary appearances and a cold demeanor, and stood there motionless.

Jiang Shiqing recognized his demeanor; was he also a servant of the young master?

However, it seems like I haven't seen it before.

Lu Yang smiled and explained, "Shiqing, you should also know that Senior Sister Lin has three Golden Core Realm protectors, right?"

Jiang Shiqing nodded, then she understood what was going on, her mouth slightly agape, her expression one of shock.

She swallowed hard, her voice trembling slightly. "... This is... my protector?"

Lu Yang chuckled and nodded, "Yes, I can protect your safety."

The various gifts Lu Yang had just given Jiang Shiqing had already shocked her enough.

However, the appearance of these three protectors still deeply moved Jiang Shiqing.

She pursed her red lips and said softly, "I've always been by your side, young master, so I don't need a protector, do I?"

Lu Yang chuckled, "As my personal maid, you'll definitely need to help me with some things in the future. For example, when you went to the cafeteria to buy Spirit Cuisine, you weren't by my side, were you?"

Jiang Shiqing: "..."

Her expression turned rather strange, and the corner of her eye twitched slightly.

"Going to the cafeteria to buy Spirit Cuisine, you also need to bring three Golden Core Realm protectors?!"

What kind of outrageous statement is this?!

Jiang Shiqing was both amused and exasperated.

However, she could feel the young master's love and care for her.

She smiled and said, "Since it was arranged by you, young master, Shiqing will not refuse."

Lu Yang nodded, then, as if remembering something, added with a light laugh, "With these three Golden Core Realm protectors, if your ancestor reaches the end of his lifespan, you can take them back for a visit, and the Jiang Household will be at peace."

Jiang Shiqing's delicate body trembled slightly.

Young master... have you considered this far for her sake?

She bit her lower lip, leaned close to Lu Yang's ear, her breath warm and her voice as soft as a wisp of mist on his ear. "Young Master... Shiqing is not feeling well, but yesterday while looking through the Record of Same-Heart Creation, I discovered there are other places where I can serve you..."

Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

He pursed his lips, his eyes becoming somewhat intense.

Jiang Shiqing naturally noticed Lu Yang's change. A layer of water rippled in her bright eyes, so tender that it almost burned and melted Lu Yang.

Just then, Mo Xianyun's voice came from outside. "Mo Xianyun, Elder of the Affairs Hall, has come to request an audience with Young Master Lu Yang on the orders of the Sect True Lord!"

Jiang Shiqing: "????"

To be honest, Jiang Shiqing was still a little depressed.

Why did she have to come at the exact moment she was supposed to be serving the young master?

She took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the fire in her heart that was almost burning and consuming her.

Lu Yang knew that the person who had come to help Jiang Shiqing obtain her sect identity, as mentioned when he contacted the sect True Lord yesterday, had arrived.

Lu Yang chuckled, patted Jiang Shiqing's shapely bottom, and said, "Get dressed and go out. It's about you."

Upon hearing that it was related to her, Jiang Shiqing blinked curiously, quickly put on her clothes, and then tidied her messy hair.

As she reached the door, she took a deep breath, circulated her Cultivation Method, and the flush on her face had mostly subsided.

After that, Jiang Shiqing welcomed Mo Xianyun.

Snapping out of her reverie, Jiang Shiqing gestured for him to come in. "Young Master is waiting for Elder Mo inside, please come in."

Mo Xianyun nodded. "Please lead the way Miss Shiqing."

Jiang Shiqing led Mo Xianyun through the corridor.

The spirit lamps on both sides of the stone path still shone with a soft light, and occasionally, the spirit patterns of the array would flash across the stone walls.

A very faint fragrance filled the air, it was hard to tell if it was from spiritual tea or something else.

Soon, the two arrived at the lobby.

As soon as Mo Xianyun stepped into the hall, she involuntarily paused for a moment.

Above the dome of the hall, the skylight faces east, and the morning light pours down from the window, casting a clear beam of light in the center of the hall.

Within the pillar of light, a young man sat on a spirit wood chair, flipping through an ancient book.

His slightly lowered profile was bathed in a pale golden light from the morning sun, the curve of his brow bone, the line of his nose—every detail resembled a meticulously polished piece of jade.

He turned a page of the book, his fingertips gliding lightly across the yellowed pages with a relaxed and casual demeanor, yet his presence was captivating.

Mo Xianyun's heart skipped a beat.

She had heard before that this Young Master Lu was as handsome as a celestial being descended to earth.

Seeing it with my own eyes today, it truly lives up to its reputation!

She was, after all, Golden Core True Person, and had cultivated her mind and character for many years; her heart should have been as still as water long ago.

Upon meeting him, he was momentarily distracted.

Mo Xianyun quickly took a deep breath to calm herself, then stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Mo Xianyun greets Young Master Lu!"

Lu Yang closed the book, rose from his chair, and returned the greeting.

The morning light flowed over him as he moved, casting shimmering patterns on his robes.

A gentle smile appeared on his face, and his voice was unhurried. "Greetings, Elder Mo. Did the Sect True Lord send you?"

That smile made Mo Xianyun's heart skip a beat again.

She pinched her fingertips hard to steady herself.

"Yes. The True Lord Leader said that you can contact me directly if you have any matters to discuss. This time, you wish to process the inner disciple status for Miss Shiqing?"

Mo Xianyun only saw one maid Jiang Shiqing, along the way.

Clearly, the only one who needs to be granted inner disciple status is Jiang Shiqing.

Jiang Shiqing stood to the side, her heart fluttering slightly.

She never imagined that she would one day become inner disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

But when she thought of all the rewards the young master had given her before, her heart calmed down again.

Judging from the gifts the young master gave her before, the inner disciples of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect would probably only be able to produce Supreme-Grade Law Artifact...

However, having the status of inner disciple will indeed make it much easier to do things for the young master in the future.

Sect tokens, access permissions, and access to basic information are still useful.

"That's right." Lu Yang nodded.

Mo Xianyun quickly said, "Then please come with me to the Affairs Hall, Miss Shiqing, as we need to register in person."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiqing looked at Lu Yang, Lu Yang nodded slightly. "Shiqing, why don't you go?"

Jiang Shiqing nodded quickly. "Yes, young master."

Mo Xianyun did not turn around immediately.

She stood in the hall, her expression hesitant for several breaths, her lips pursed repeatedly, before finally gritting her teeth as if she had made a great decision.

"Young Master Lu... could the concentration of Spiritual Qi on this mountain be your doing?"

She regretted asking as soon as she did.

Asking such a question, which involves personal methods, is too abrupt.

However, as an elder of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect Affairs Hall, she couldn't help but feel uneasy if she didn't ask.

In case something unusual happens on the mountain, she'll be mentally prepared in advance.

After asking that question, Mo Xianyun's fingers unconsciously curled up slightly inside her sleeve.

She was actually quite nervous.

After all, this involves the secrecy of personal methods; asking too much would be offensive, while asking too little would leave one unable to explain oneself.

I wonder if these words will offend Young Master Lu?
