Traces of Xia Ningxue (4K)

"Since you saved my daughter, this is your deserved reward." After listening to Lin Qinghan's account, the middle-aged man took out a jade box. "Inside are thirty-six Enlightenment Tea Leaves."

Thirty-six Enlightenment Tea Leaf?!

When the middle-aged man suddenly produced thirty-six Enlightenment Tea Leaves, the other Loose Immortals, including Daoist Luoyu and Daoist Xingjian, all looked at Lu Changsheng with envy.

Enlightenment Tea Leaf is a Sixteenth Grade and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, a unique treasure of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Thirty-six Enlightenment Tea Leaf —that's quite a generous offering!

Lu Changsheng was also somewhat surprised; the reward for saving the Taihua Saintess was indeed quite generous.

From now on, Lu Changsheng will have enough Enlightenment Tea Leaves for teaching disciples.

"The Blood Sea Hall dares to plot against our Taihua Sacred Ground; they are truly courting death."

After the middle-aged man offered a box of Enlightenment Tea Leaf as a reward, his attention turned to the Blood Sea Hall, which had set a trap.

The Blood Sea Hall wanted to kill his daughter; if it weren't for Lu Changsheng, their Blood Sea Hall would have succeeded.

Lin Qinghan said, "Father, I suspect that someone within the Holy Land is colluding with the Blood Sea Hall. The Torch Dragon Clan is also connected to the Blood Sea Hall."

"Such a thing exists? If I find out, this person is doomed."

The middle-aged man's face turned ashen again. If someone from the Taihua Sacred Ground was colluding with the Blood Sea Hall, then the matter could be serious or minor.

On a smaller scale, someone in the Taihua Sacred Ground betrayed the Saintess's leadership for their own benefit.

On a larger scale, the Blood Sea Hall's conspiracy against Lin Qinghan may be part of a larger conspiracy targeting the Taihua Sacred Ground.

As the Saintess of Taihua Sacred Ground, Lin Qinghan may take over the Taihua Sacred Ground in the future. If Lin Qinghan perishes, Taihua Sacred Ground will have no choice but to cultivate a new Saint or Saintess.

Not to mention how many rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures would be needed to cultivate a new Saint or Saintess for Foundation Establishment, since Lin Qinghan is the Taihua Saintess, it means that she is the most talented disciple of the younger generation of Taihua Sacred Ground. The Saint or Saintess cultivated again would inevitably be inferior.

Lu Changsheng added, "It's questionable who the biggest beneficiary is."

"You have a point, kid. Which Sects are you from?"

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Changsheng with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

This younger man not only saved his daughter, but was also brave and resourceful, surpassing many talented young people in Taihua Sacred Ground, which made him admire his talent.

"This junior is Lu Changsheng, the deputy peak master of Jingyun Peak in Sacred Mountain."

"The Sage-Proving Mountain? This is my token. If you wish to join the Taihua Sacred Ground in the future, you can come find me."

The middle-aged man opened his right hand, revealing a golden token, neither copper nor iron, with the two seal characters "Taihua" engraved on it.

The other Great Luo Golden Immortals cast envious glances once again.

Ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals might not even be trusted by the Taihua Sacred Ground, and they wouldn't even have the chance to join the Taihua Sacred Ground. They could only join immortal Immortal Gate that were affiliated with the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, received a direct invitation from the higher-ups of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Lu Changsheng can join the Taihua Sacred Ground at any time if he wishes.

Daoist Luoyu transmitted his voice. "Quickly accept it. The Taihua Sacred Ground is far superior to our Sage-Proving Mountain. They don't even consider ordinary Golden Immortals worthy of their attention. If you can join the Taihua Sacred Ground, not only will you be allocated Taihua Sacred Ground Enlightenment Tea Leaf, but if you can learn their Cultivation Method, with your aptitude, you might even reach the level of our Sect Master, or even advance further."

Lu Changsheng accepted the token from the Taihua Sacred Ground.

If we attract some powerful enemies in the future, we can retreat to the Taihua Sacred Ground to cultivate, which is a viable option.

The middle-aged man Cultivation Method to heal Lin Qinghan's injuries, and then led the Elders of Taihua Sacred Ground and the Elders of various Immortal Gate to Ancient Mulberry Island.

On Ancient Mulberry Island, the Blood Sea Hall seemed to realize that reinforcements from the Taihua Sacred Ground had arrived and had left the island, leaving only the Eternal Slumber Formation behind.

The middle-aged man from the Taihua Sacred Ground extended two fingers and pointed them at the Barrier formed by the Eternal Slumber Formation.

The seemingly indestructible Eternal Slumber Formation was actually broken by the force of a finger, and cracks appeared.

The trapped Daoist Yuxuan and others worked together from within and without to break through the Eternal Slumber Formation.

Lu Changsheng, Daoist Luoyu, Daoist Xingjian, and the other Rogue Cultivators were all secretly astonished.

The father of Taihua Saintess Lin Qinghan, has likely surpassed the cultivation Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Daoist Luoyu sighed, "Taihua Sacred Ground truly Holy Land; its foundation is so profound. No wonder the Golden Immortals who sought refuge in Taihua Sacred Ground were all assigned to lower-level Immortal Gate."

"The Blood Sea Hall certainly knows its own limitations."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly.

If the people of the Blood Sea Hall don't leave, they will be powerless against him.

"This is the reward you deserve."

As agreed beforehand, Taihua Sacred Ground gave each Great Luo Golden Immortal three Enlightenment Tea Leaves, and even Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortals received one Enlightenment Tea Leaves.

Lu Changsheng obtained a total of thirty-nine Enlightenment Tea Leaves, and Su Xiaoqi also unexpectedly obtained one Enlightenment Tea Leaves, which delighted her greatly.

Thirty-nine Enlightenment Tea Leaf are enough for my own use and for teaching disciples.

Lin Qinghan's elderly guard was defeated by the Blood Sea Hall and the Torch Dragon Clan, and his whereabouts are unknown.

"Let's go back to the Holy Land."

With nowhere to vent his anger, the middle-aged man could only lead the people of Taihua Sacred Ground back to Taihua Sacred Ground, hoping to find an opportunity to take revenge later.

Meanwhile, the Rogue Cultivators from the Sage-Proving Mountain and other Immortal Gate left with the people from the Taihua Sacred Ground to avoid being plotted against by the Blood Sea Hall along the way.

The large group, nearly a hundred people, returned along the same route.

"We almost died here. When we get back to Sage-Proving Mountain, we'll definitely have a good drink."

Having survived the calamity, Daoist Yuxuan couldn't help but feel fortunate.

"Good."

Daoist Luoyu and Daoist Yuxuan had a good relationship, so Luo Yu agreed.

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng looked ahead and saw more than a dozen figures flying through the air on swords just as everyone was about to leave the Netherworld Sea.

Having just been tricked by the Blood Sea Hall, the group immediately became wary and secretly prepared to unleash their Law Treasures.

A dozen or so figures approached, all handsome men and women dressed in white, with palace-shaped Sects insignia on their chests.

"People from the Guanghan Holy Land?"

Daoist Luoyu recognized the origin of the symbol and was greatly alarmed.

Everyone else's expression changed as well.

The Guanghan Holy Land is no less sacred than the Taihua Sacred Ground; both are Holy Lands passed down from High Antiquity. Why are they here?

The leader of the Guanghan Holy Land was a woman in white, with a beautiful face, carrying an Immortal Sword on her back, and exuding an extremely strong aura.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man from Taihua Sacred Ground and Lin Qinghan, her expression changed slightly, and her tone became more respectful. "Our master sensed someone entering the territory of our Guanghan Holy Land, so he specially sent this junior to investigate. I didn't expect it to be you, senior. May I ask what it is that our Guanghan Holy Land can do for you?"

"I'm merely passing through the area of Guanghan Holy Land; you don't need to worry about me."

The middle-aged man didn't engage in much conversation with the disciples of the Guanghan Holy Land; he simply gave them a perfunctory reply.

These younger people are not qualified to speak with him.

If Lu Changsheng hadn't saved Lin Qinghan, he wouldn't have deserved his attention.

His status was extremely high in the Taihua Sacred Ground.

The group from the Guanghan Holy Land were not displeased by this.

The person before me has been famous for a long time.

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng looked at the female disciple from the Guanghan Holy Land who was leading the group, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Why does this person faintly carry a trace of Xia Ningxue's aura?

This trace of aura was extremely faint, almost nonexistent.

Lu Changsheng even suspected he was hallucinating.

The female disciple leading the group was displeased when Lu Changsheng glanced at her a couple of times, and her expression turned disgusted. "What are you looking at?"

What kind of status does she hold in the Guanghan Holy Land? How could an ordinary cultivator possibly covet her? That's truly despicable.

Everyone turned to look at Lu Changsheng. Could it be that Lu Changsheng was attracted by the other person's beauty?

Lin Qinghan was even more surprised. She was confident that she was no less beautiful than the female disciples of the Guanghan Holy Land who were leading the team, so why was Lu Changsheng paying special attention to her? Didn't he notice that there was someone even more beautiful than her standing next to him?

The middle-aged man remained expressionless, but his expression gradually darkened with displeasure.

Lu Changsheng was highly regarded by him. If he were to become infatuated with a female disciple of the Guanghan Holy Land, he would definitely never be able to take that step in the future.

"Master wouldn't be that kind of person."

Su Xiaoqi believed that her master would not easily fall for a female disciple of the Guanghan Holy Land, and she did not think the other was prettier than her.

Master didn't even touch her, how could he possibly be interested in a female disciple from the Guanghan Holy Land?

Lu Changsheng didn't mention Xia Ningxue. He wasn't clear about the relationship between the Guanghan Holy Land and Xia Ningxue, so to be on the safe side, he simply said, "I meant no offense. I just vaguely thought of someone when I saw you, Immortal Maiden."

"Hmph, all talk and no action."

The female disciple from the Guanghan Holy Land snorted coldly, her eyes icy.

She believed that Lu Changsheng was just making excuses to cover up his embarrassment.

Lu Changsheng didn't care whether the other party believed him or not; he just wanted to have a clear conscience.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng's eyes were clear and devoid of evil thoughts, the middle-aged man thought what he said must be true and nodded in approval.

One person?

Lin Qinghan and Su Xiaoqi, however, focused on the key point and were somewhat anxious about losing it.

"Since it's a senior passing by, then there's nothing to worry about. We'll head back and report to our sect."

The female disciple from the Guanghan Holy Land led the group away, giving Lu Changsheng a glare before leaving.

"Second Senior Sister, that Loose Immortal isn't even a disciple of the Holy Land, yet he dares to stare at Senior Sister like that."

"That's right. Even disciples of the Taihua Sacred Ground aren't qualified. Only Saint of the Holy Land is worthy of Senior Sister. After all, Senior Sister, you are one of the candidates for Saintess..."

"Shut up!"

The female disciple from the Guanghan Holy Land leading the group seemed to have been hit where it hurt, her face turning ashen.

"Fool, don't you know that Second Senior Sister was originally the first choice for the Saintess, but then Master took in Junior Sister, and as a result... this matter must not be mentioned again."

One of the male disciples secretly transmitted a message to the other female disciples, telling them to stop talking.

On the other side, Lu Changsheng followed the group from Taihua Sacred Ground back the way they came.

Lu Changsheng asked Daoist Luoyu, "What is the origin of the Guanghan Holy Land?"

Daoist Luoyu replied, "The Guanghan Holy Land is located in the far north of the Immortal Realm. There are countless Glaciers there, and the cold is extremely intense, making it suitable for cultivating Extreme Cold True Qi. Both Guanghan and Taihua are Holy Lands inherited from High Antiquity, with profound foundations and countless powerful individuals. The Guanghan Holy Land is near the Netherworld Sea, so the fact that the Taihua Sacred Ground sent nearly a hundred powerful individuals must have alarmed the Guanghan Holy Land, which is why they sent disciples to investigate."

"Oh?"

Lu Changsheng fell into deep thought.

Xia Ningxue's cultivation of True Qi is extremely yin and soft, Guanghan Holy Land is undoubtedly a suitable place for her to cultivate. Perhaps Xia Ningxue is in the Guanghan Holy Land.

However, Lu Changsheng gained fortuitous opportunity favor of the Taihua Sacred Ground by chance, but had no connection with the Guanghan Holy Land. If he were to trespass into the Guanghan Holy Land, he might not be able to enter.

He didn't even know where the Guanghan Holy Land was.

Lin Qinghan's voice suddenly rang in Lu Changsheng's mind. "The female disciple from Guanghan Holy Land who led the group just now is the Second Disciple personally taught by the Moon Palace Master. She has extremely high aptitude and her cultivation is not low either. Try not to provoke her."

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Holy Maiden."

"You saved my life, so from now on we're friends. You can call me Qinghan... Immortal Maiden."

"Yes, Your Holy Maiden."

Lin Qinghan was speechless. Lu Changsheng must be doing this on purpose.

Lu Changsheng was thinking to himself.

No wonder that female disciple from the Guanghan Holy Land had such a bad temper. It turns out she was the Second Disciple personally taught by the Moon Palace Master. Her status in the Guanghan Holy Land was probably similar to that of the Saintess, so she certainly had the right to be arrogant.

"Fine, only if I'm strong enough will these Holy Lands dare not underestimate me. After I deal with the Seven Great Demon Kings, I'll go to the Guanghan Holy Land to inquire about Xia Ningxue's whereabouts. If Xia Ningxue is in the Guanghan Holy Land, with the strength of the Guanghan Holy Land, she should be in no danger."

After pondering for a while, Lu Changsheng decided that since he had offended the Personal Disciple of the Moon Palace Master, the best course of action was to use the Enlightenment Tea Leaf and the Spirit-Gathering Rainbow Lotus to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

Anyway, at least we have some clues.

After approaching Sage-Proving Mountain, Lu Changsheng, Daoist Yuxuan Su Xiaoqi, Yu Xuan Daoren, Daoist Luoyu, Daoist Xingjian, and Daoist Xuancheng bid farewell to the people of Taihua Sacred Ground and returned to Sage-Proving Mountain.

With its Sect Master Qingyangzi and Mountain-Guarding Formation, Mount Sage-Proving Mountain is not as powerful as the Taihua Sacred Ground, but it is not Sects that the Blood Sea Hall can easily attack.

The Blood Sea Hall's main target is the Taihua Sacred Ground, not the Sage-Proving Mountain. Overall, the Sage-Proving Mountain is not dangerous, and Lu Changsheng Sage-Proving Mountain continue to cultivate there.

After hearing about the details of the trip, Qingyangzi simply said, "Return to your respective cave abode to cultivate. This matter is beyond the jurisdiction of our Sage-Proving Mountain; the Holy Land will make its own decision."

"Yes."

Everyone returned to their respective cave abode to cultivate.

Lu Changsheng went into seclusion for several hundred years, and everything remained calm and uneventful.

Of course, this was only the surface; Lu Changsheng was unaware of what had happened after the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Seven hundred years have passed since the journey to the Netherworld Sea.

While cultivating in his cave abode, Su Xiaoqi drank the Enlightenment Tea and entered a state of sudden enlightenment, resolving all the doubts he had encountered during his cultivation.

Su Xiaoqi's aura continued to rise, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm finally showed signs of loosening.

"The Enlightenment Tea truly lives up to its reputation as a rare treasure; my disciple is almost at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm. Of course, her aptitude is also exceptionally good, no less than that of the other disciples."

Lu Changsheng was cultivating the Quasi-Emperor Tier Cultivation Method "Eternal Universe True Formula," which was the Cultivation Method he had passed on to Su Xiaoqi as a return of the Saint-tier High-grade Cultivation Method "Cosmos Scripture." Suddenly, he sensed Su Xiaoqi's aura rapidly rising and was overjoyed.

He will soon have his first disciple, a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Some people died, but they weren't completely dead...
