When Fang Yu and Fang Qingwei returned to the Fang Family, they learned from the servants that Fang Qingxue had already arrived.
Upon hearing this news, unlike Fang Qingwei, who still wanted to dress up, Fang Yu was unwilling to delay even a minute. He immediately had a servant invite Fang Qingxue to his courtyard.
He returned to the secret chamber in his room ahead of time, took out the Heaven-Palm Bottle, and waited for Fang Qingxue to arrive.
Although Fang Qingxue, who had always acted swiftly and decisively, was somewhat puzzled, she did not make Fang Yu come to see her, nor did she make him wait long. She came alone directly to the entrance of Fang Yu's courtyard.
The current Fang Qingxue was far beyond Fang Qingwei's compare. Just as described in the book, she wore white robes, with skin like congealed cream, crescent brows, jade bones, and icy flesh as she glided toward him.
She seemed like a fairy descended from the Moon Palace!
She also seemed like the Dragon King's princess from the Dragon Palace!
Even heaven and earth seemed to become cleansed, suffused with a sacred air.
Fang Yu, who had come to greet her, was instantly dumbfounded. This is my sister, this is my sister!
Seeing her younger brother lose himself in a trance, Fang Qingxue's delicate brows knit slightly. Her voice was cool and clear, like a spring in a secluded valley, soothing to the heart and refreshing to the mind. It immediately brought Fang Yu back to his senses.
"Little brother, you had a servant invite me here, saying there was something important. What is it? I have urgent matters to attend to, so I will not go inside. Just tell me here at the door."
"Big Sister, you should still come inside."
Fang Yu's heart tightened at her words. He looked around, his face filled with pleading as he cautiously transmitted his voice.
He was now at the sixth level of the physical body, the Breath Realm, and could use the voice-transmission technique of forcing sound into a line.
Seeing this, Fang Qingxue blinked her beautiful eyes, nodded lightly, and parted her cherry lips to utter a single word.
"Fine."
"Mm-hmm, Big Sister, please come in. We have not seen each other for so many years, and you have only become more beautiful. I doubt anyone in the entire Great Li Dynasty can compare to you."
Fang Yu let out a relieved breath and hurriedly flattered her with a cheerful compliment.
Fang Qingxue merely cast him a light glance. Her bright eyes were as placid as a lake without a ripple, yet that single look made Fang Yu's heart tremble. He swallowed the rest of his fawning words, feeling as though she had seen through everything.
Not even Fang Zetao had ever made him feel this way.
The Mystical Ability Realm was truly terrifying!
Seeing that Fang Yu had stopped talking nonsense, Fang Qingxue stepped lightly into the courtyard without making the slightest sound. Fang Yu could not help lowering his gaze, wondering whether her jade-like feet were even touching the ground.
The facts proved that they were not!
This showed just how serious Fang Qingxue's obsession with cleanliness was!
But none of that was important. What mattered was what he could exchange with Fang Qingxue, and whether it could allow him to advance further.
What Fang Yu did not understand next was why, despite this being his own courtyard, he felt like a little servant following behind Fang Qingxue.
Fang Yu had already dismissed all the irrelevant servants in the courtyard. This further confirmed Fang Qingxue's belief that Fang Yu must have a secret, something important, to discuss with her.
Could the Flood Dragon Subduing Yellow Springs Diagram have fallen into Little Brother's hands?
As Fang Qingxue stepped into the main hall of the courtyard, this thought surfaced in her mind, causing a faint ripple to appear in her calm, ancient-well-like eyes.
If that were truly the case, she would only take the Nine-Aperture Golden Pill to advance her cultivation further, leaving the even more precious top-grade Dao artifact, the Flood Dragon Subduing Yellow Springs Diagram, to Fang Yu.
"Big Sister, please wait a moment. I will be right back."
When Fang Qingxue took the seat of honor in the main hall, Fang Yu brought over a cup of tea and handed it to her with a smile.
Seeing this, Fang Qingxue became even more certain of her guess. A trace of emotion entered her voice, and her bright eyes shone with a hint of splendor as she nodded.
"Fine. Go on."
"Mm! I'll be right back."
With that, Fang Yu strode out of the hall impatiently and headed for the secret chamber in his room.
Fang Qingxue narrowed her beautiful eyes. A trace of nervousness entered her heart, and her eyes revealed a hint of anticipation.
In just a few minutes, Fang Yu reappeared with the Heaven-Palm Bottle in hand.
At this moment, the Heaven-Palm Bottle emitted dazzling, dreamlike nine-colored radiance, along with an indescribably sacred aura that no evil could invade.
"This is..."
Although Fang Qingxue initially felt disappointed, once she saw that the source of the nine-colored radiance diffusing from the Heaven-Palm Bottle in Fang Yu's hand was, her beautiful face changed slightly. Her eyes narrowed, and her cool voice suddenly rang out in questioning.
"It is actually Nine Yang Sacred Water. Little brother, where did you obtain this Nine Yang Sacred Water?"
Her tone carried an unpleasant air of unquestionable authority.
"So this is Nine Yang Sacred Water! Big Sister, what exactly does this water do? I only felt that it was extraordinarily remarkable, so I did not dare show it to anyone else. I stored it until now. Only after you returned did I dare take it out."
Fang Yu put on a surprised expression as he walked over to Fang Qingxue and placed the Heaven-Palm Bottle on a table beside her.
"This is Nine Yang Sacred Water, supreme sacred water refined only by experts of the Longevity Realm who expend immense mana to draw in the pure Yang spiritual qi of the Immortal Realm. It can dispel all filth, yin softness, demonic nature, and monster qi. It is the most precious and rarest sacred water in the world. Any treasure artifact that comes into contact with Nine Yang Sacred Water and undergoes refinement will become a pure Yang magical treasure."
"To obtain half a bottle like this, your fortune is truly profound. You possess great opportunity and great luck. And this bottle, capable of holding Nine Yang Sacred Water, should also be a rare treasure artifact. But why has it not become a pure Yang treasure artifact? Could it be a Dao artifact?"
Fang Qingxue stared at the Heaven-Palm Bottle on the table, her beautiful eyes shining with wonder as she spoke in confusion.
"But it has none of the aura of a Dao artifact. Even a Dao artifact that has lost its artifact spirit should not be like this."
"Big Sister, um, this..."
Fang Yu hesitated, as if wanting to speak but stopping himself.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Fang Qingxue looked at Fang Yu again, not noticing in the slightest that he had not displayed much surprise.
"This Nine Yang Sacred Water should be useful to you, Big Sister, right?"
Fang Yu nodded and hurriedly asked.
"It is indeed quite useful. Although the quantity is somewhat lacking, it is enough for my cultivation to advance further."
"Although we are siblings and close kin, I will not simply take what is yours. Tell me, what do you want? For you at your current level, directly consuming this Nine Yang Sacred Water would do more harm than good. However, I know a secret technique that can use this Nine Yang Sacred Water to alter your innate constitution, turning you into a pure Yang body. It would allow your physical body to advance further and let you reach the Mystical Ability Realm more quickly. Of course, you do not need much—only one-third of this will be enough. I need the rest."
"What do you think?"
Fang Qingxue revealed the secret technique she had just obtained from the artifact spirit of the Undying Lightning Talisman.
The artifact spirit of the Undying Lightning Talisman possessed normal intelligence and was proficient in many mystical abilities and secret techniques. It was no inferior to "Yan" within the Yellow Springs Diagram.
In fact, in the Eternal Life World, the artifact spirits of Dao artifacts could cultivate on their own and even raise their rank.
