Chapter 82

Such temptation was undoubtedly enormous for Xiao Jian, but he also worried: what if it was a trap? What if it was a scheme set by the elders?

For a moment, he fell into deep thought, pondering the matter.

A moment later, Xiao Jian opened his eyes and made a decision in his heart.

He grew up in the Spirit Sword Sect and everything he had was given to him by the sect. Now that the sect wanted him to do something, how could he refuse!

Moreover, Elder Xuanjian promised him the position of the Sect Master's personal disciple.

It's simply impossible to refuse!

Having figured all this out, Xiao Jian took a deep breath and said respectfully:

"This disciple thanks Elder for his guidance. If there is any need, this disciple will do his utmost, even at the cost of fire and water!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuanjian slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"I didn't misjudge you, Xiao Jian. The day this matter is successfully completed will be the day you become the Sect Master's personal disciple!"

Suppressing his excitement and joy, Xiao Jian asked:

"May I ask, Elder, what is it that I need to do?"

Elder Xuanjian glanced at him and slowly said:

"I remember you were born into a secular family, originally a prince of a country. Because you admired the prestige of the Spirit Sword Sect and wanted to cultivate the way of the sword, you entered the sect at the young age of six."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jian paused for a moment, then replied:

"The elder is right."

Elder Xuanjian continued:

"In your motherland, a remarkable genius has emerged, at the same level as Feng Yi, yet she defeated him with a single, effortless move. I believe she is a promising talent who should not be overlooked. Go and take her under your wing."

After listening to Elder Xuanjian's explanation, Xiao Jian was stunned. He had thought that there was some difficult and important matter to be done, but it turned out that he was just going to recruit disciples?

He had heard his fellow disciples mention before that as long as the name of the Spirit Sword Sect was mentioned, people who wanted to pay homage would flock to the sect. Was it really necessary to treat it with such solemnity?

It was around this time.

Elder Xuanjian spoke again:

"That genius, speaking of which, is also somewhat related to you."

"Oh? What's your relationship?"

106. The Spring Gushing Second Layer!

"She is your Ninth Sister, now bestowed the title of Princess Ziwei."

Elder Xuanjian laughed.

Upon hearing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Xiao Jian's eyes.

His sister?

He had been away from the Great Xia for too long, and had almost no memory of his old friends in the Xia Kingdom.

In his memory, Ninth Sister was just a little baby who couldn't even walk.

It's hard to imagine that she is now a rising star among young talents.

"After you bring your sister into the sect, I will also recommend her to the other elders to be accepted as a personal disciple. At that time, you and your sister will be in the sect together, so you'll have each other for company."

Hearing this, Xiao Jian was moved. He had been practicing swordsmanship for many years and devoted himself to the sword, but had never experienced family affection.

But having a younger sister to keep me company wouldn't be bad either.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xiao Jian's face, and he cupped his hands and said:

"Rest assured, Elder, this disciple will definitely bring Ninth Sister back to the sect on this trip!"

Elder Xuanjian nodded and reminded him:

"Your younger sister is a child prodigy, and she's naturally proud; she might not be willing to follow your correct guidance."

"What should you do if she is unwilling to return to the sect with you?"

Xiao Jian was taken aback when he heard the question.

Such a wonderful place Spirit Sword Sect, how could anyone not want to come?

He thought for a moment and replied:

"If Ninth Sister is unwilling, I will defeat her and prove I was right."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuanjian shook his head repeatedly, chuckled, and said:

"Foolish child! Foolish child!"

Seeing Elder Xuanjian laugh, Xiao Jian asked, puzzled:

"Elder, what are you laughing at?"

Elder Xuanjian composed himself, calmed down, flicked his sleeve, and a white light flashed out, landing in front of Xiao Jian.

"This sword talisman contains the full power of my sword strike. If you encounter an opponent you cannot defeat, you can activate the talisman to slay them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jian's expression changed in surprise.

Elder Xuanjian is already a super strong expert at the peak of the Spirit Seed realm. The power of his full-force attack is probably unimaginable!

"Disciple thanks Elder!"

"Take my message to Feng Yi, and have him go with you!"

"Your disciple obeys!"

Xiao Jian bowed again and left the main hall.

He planned to go back and pack his things, then go find Feng Yi the next morning and set off as soon as possible.

Watching Xiao Jian's departing figure, Elder Xuanjian's eyes flickered, and he murmured:

"Princess of Xia Kingdom, I'd like to see just how powerful you really are!"

He had made two preparations before sending Xiao Jian down the mountain this time.

If the Xia Kingdom princess is indeed exceptionally talented and a threat, then he will remotely control the sword talisman, unleash a full-force sword strike, and directly kill the Xia Kingdom princess!

After the incident, they only said that Xiao Jian accidentally released the sword talisman, and that it had nothing to do with him or the Spirit Sword Sect!

If the Xia Kingdom princess's talent is mediocre and not as good as Xiao Jian's, then she is not worth paying attention to.

"A sibling rivalry is quite a show..."

Elder Xuanjian's deep voice echoed in the hall, lingering for a long time.

The Great Xia, the Imperial City, the Princess Mansion.

Inside the room, a blue-green cocoon of light lay quietly on the ground, surrounded by a light mist that enveloped it, creating a hazy and indistinct atmosphere.

Suddenly, a faint sound rang out from within the cocoon of light, and cracks appeared from within it.

The cocoon of light has shattered!

Two slender figures appeared, embracing tightly, both completely naked, their skin pressed together—it was Xiao Minghuang and Lin Wanqiu.

Their skin was as delicate as jade, snow-white and smooth, with a crystal-clear luster.

Lin Wanqiu opened her eyes and found that they were naked and embracing each other intimately. She could even feel a warmth from His Highness's soft skin.

In the past, she would have shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Minghuang.

But after the spiritual cultivation, they became intimately connected, their spirits aligned, and their spiritual power intertwined. They were no longer as shy as before.

"Your Highness..."

Lin Wanqiu raised her delicate face, parted her red lips slightly, exhaled an alluring fragrance, and revealed a charming smile.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Minghuang's eyes...

She composed herself and suddenly realized that Lin Wanqiu, no longer shy, was radiant and bright, even more beautiful than before.

"Let's put our clothes on first!"

Xiao Minghuang coughed lightly and spoke.

"I will assist Your Highness in changing..."

Lin Wanqiu's rosy lips parted slightly, and her sweet voice rang out.

Although Lin Wanqiu was the young lady of Beiyang City, she had become quite skilled at helping Xiao Minghuang get dressed after spending so much time with her. In no time, the two of them were dressed neatly.

Both women wore red dresses, with Xiao Minghuang's dress being a richer, more vibrant, and elegant color, conveying a sense of nobility and grace.

Lin Wanqiu's dresses are in lighter colors, giving them a simple, elegant, and refreshing look.

After spending time with Lin Wanqiu, Xiao Minghuang left the courtyard.

Both of them have undergone a significant improvement in their cultivation level and urgently need to stabilize their cultivation and solidify their foundation.

Both of them gained a lot from this dual cultivation.

The most obvious example is Lin Wanqiu, who not only awakened the Innate Taiyin Spirit Body, but also broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop!

A large part of this is due to the years of accumulation before the body recovered, which suddenly burst forth with tremendous force.

Xiao Minghuang returned to her room, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes to rest, and began to circulate her cultivation technique to consolidate her realm.

She also received tremendous benefits, a total of six Mysterious Yin Fruits, plus dual cultivation with the Innate Taiyin Spirit Body. With the superposition of multiple benefits, she broke through the bottleneck of a major realm and entered the Spring Gushing Realm!

And this is far from over.

At this very moment, a pool of golden water had already condensed within Xiao Minghuang's Dantian.

The spiritual spring extends twenty feet into the ground, and golden spiritual water gushes out continuously, signifying that her cultivation level has reached the Spring Gushing Second Layer!

As Xiao Minghuang felt the surging blood and qi within her body, and the golden spiritual spring that had opened up in her Dantian, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"Penetrating twenty feet into the ground, the Spring Gushing Second Layer!"

"The outcome of this competition is already decided!"

Xiao Minghuang's eyes were bright and her spirits were high.

Upon arriving at the Spring Gushing Realm, she felt as if her spiritual power and the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth were connected, allowing her to fly by drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth.

Thinking of this, Xiao Minghuang's mind stirred slightly, and she circulated her spiritual power.

A "whooshing" sound arose from within his Dantian, like a spring gushing forth.

Suddenly.

A ripple appeared in the void, and Xiao Minghuang floated up into the air.

She sat upright in the air, looking around, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

"Below the Spring Gushing Realm, spiritual power is too weak to fly at all."

Flight.

It's a privilege reserved for those at the Spring Gushing Realm or above!

With a thought, Xiao Minghuang flew out of the window, as swift as the wind, and in the blink of an eye, she soared to a height of several hundred meters.

Feeling the whistling wind in his ears, Xiao Minghuang looked around and took in the entire scene of the imperial city.

A surge of pride welled up within me!

"I wonder how powerful my full-force attack will be?"

107. The Invitation of the King Wu'an

A streak of light flashed across the boundless sky, moving at an incredible speed.

Xiao Minghuang moved with lightning speed, disappearing into the clouds in an instant.

A moment later, she arrived at a valley.

Xiao Minghuang raised one hand and directly activated the spiritual spring.
