Did... did they say that?

Jiang Lu was a little doubtful. Had she missed some important information?

"Master, I'm a Divine Phoenix, and it's a Divine Dragon!"

Chi Li narrowed its eyes slightly. Its master actually didn't believe them and had even forgotten what they'd said!

That was simply too much!

Jiang Lu smacked her forehead. It did seem like they had said that.

But at the time, she'd thought the two of them were talking nonsense. Could it actually be true?

Feeling somewhat guilty, she let her gaze drift elsewhere.

"Really?"

"Really!"

Chi Li said indignantly.

If it weren't a Divine Phoenix, it would have been possessed by that Azure Luan long ago, okay?

Jiang Lu scooped up the two beasts. No matter how she looked at them, they didn't resemble divine beasts.

They had none of a divine beast's majesty!

Could the gap in strength really make them so different?

"Master, don't underestimate us. Once our strength recovers, we'll definitely be the coolest contracted beasts!"

The two beasts nodded firmly. They were determined to cling to their master's thigh! They absolutely could not let their master think they were weak and abandon them.

Did she really think just anyone could encounter such opportunities in the past? If she didn't possess immense luck, who would ever have known?

"Then you two need to cultivate properly. I'll be relying on you to protect me!"

Jiang Lu stroked their heads as she spoke.

Chi Li and Cangchen nodded. They would definitely protect their master. They had turned over a new leaf and would put their master first in everything!

Jiang Lu glanced at the Ice Bed and suddenly noticed that something seemed to have changed around it.

"What's this? Didn't Cangchen absorb all the spiritual energy inside just now?"

Jiang Lu leaned over the edge of the Ice Bed, curiously watching the changes above it. Fine strands of spiritual energy crawled upward along the Ice Bed's patterns.

Seeing this, Jiang Lu pondered for a moment.

Then several explosive bombs flew from her hand toward the Ice Bed.

Bang—

Bang—

Bang—

Several explosions rang out, blasting open the Ice Bed.

A hole opened in its center. Jiang Lu nodded at the two spirit beasts and jumped into it first.

"Ow~"

Jiang Lu let out a wronged little cry, then rubbed her head and looked around.

All around her were caves glowing with blue fluorescence.

Jiang Lu stood and surveyed her surroundings. The whole area seemed steeped in temptation, making her head swim slightly. She immediately lowered her head and swallowed a Clear-Mind Pill.

There was something strange about this place.

She stepped forward. The blue light grew more numerous and brighter.

It even seemed poised to dye the entire space blue, so she immediately circulated her spiritual energy to stop it.

Her spiritual energy collided with the surrounding blue light, producing sharp sizzling sounds.

In that instant, the spiritual energy around her began to riot.

She was startled.

She immediately stopped and sat cross-legged in meditation.

By the time Chi Li and Cangchen arrived before her, all they could see was the dense layer of spiritual energy surrounding Jiang Lu.

They could not get close to her.

They exchanged a glance, then stopped where they were to wait.

"What kind of luck does Master have?"

Chi Li watched the blue clusters of light continuously stream toward Jiang Lu and felt a little jealous.

Squeak, squeak—

Cutie waved its paws and squeaked several times.

This was the place!

A great treasure!

Ignoring the two spirit beasts still staring in shock, it quickly ran behind Jiang Lu.

There was a vast patch of crystals there. These crystals could provide it with astonishing spiritual energy and help it grow.

It kept stuffing the crystals into its natal space.

Its actions were finally noticed by Chi Li and Cangchen, who had recovered from their shock.

Though they had no idea why, they still joined it in storing the crystals in their storage bags.

Jiang Lu only felt herself enter an enigmatic state. The surrounding spiritual energy no longer entered her meridians to be refined before flowing into her dantian.

Instead, it directly circulated through her limbs in its purest form before entering her dantian.

Bang—

Bang—

Two sounds rang out as Jiang Lu officially entered the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement!

Yet the spiritual energy around her did not stop. It continued pouring toward her dantian, and Jiang Lu immediately stopped absorbing it, ruthlessly suppressing the spiritual energy that had entered afterward.

If she advanced too quickly, her foundation could easily become unstable.

Sensing that Jiang Lu's absorption had slowed, a round little blue sphere appeared before her.

The blue sphere radiated a gentle light as it constantly shifted forms.

It circled Jiang Lu twice, then immediately entered between her brows.

A flash flickered between her brows, and a cloud-like totem appeared. Within a few breaths, it vanished.

Jiang Lu opened her eyes, a trace of confusion in them. She seemed to have gained some kind of connection, but when she examined it closely, there was nothing at all.

She sent her Divine Sense into her meridians. Feeling the rich spiritual energy within her body, she was overjoyed. She had finally entered Late Qi Refinement.

She had thought she would be stuck at Qi Refinement, Fifth Level for a long time, but now she had broken through in one stroke.

Though she didn't know what that extra connection from earlier was, she was certain it was related to this advancement. It was a good thing!

And—

Vaguely, it seemed that her mind had gained something else—the Divination Art.

The Divination Art was innate, bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.

Without an opportunity, one could never learn it in a lifetime. But when the opportunity was in hand, it was like Jiang Lu now: a law would form on its own.

Jiang Lu stood up and rubbed her wrists, only to see the three little ones continuously stuffing the crystals into their storage bags.

"Are we taking all of these?"

Jiang Lu walked over and looked at Cutie.

Squeak, squeak—

Cutie nodded, spreading its paws wide to draw a huge circle.

Jiang Lu patted its head, then waved her hand and stored every crystal in her space.

Looking at the blue points of light around them, she thought for a moment before storing all of them in her space as well.

After entering the space, the light points spontaneously formed their own area, isolated from the other regions.

Looking at the cave stripped bare like geese passing over a field, the one human and three beasts exchanged glances and let out sinister cackles.

Chi Li knew it. Which person of great fortune was ever as timid as a mouse?

Being cautious was true, but being brazenly proud was true as well.

They truly were worthy of being its master. They would turn the Immortal Cultivation Realm upside down and inside out.

As Jiang Lu climbed out along the stone steps, she saw two figures huddled on them.

She had originally intended to leave directly, but she discovered that she shared a karmic bond with their clan.

She sighed. This opportunity must have come because of these two. If she did not repay this karmic bond, it would become a tangled relationship that could neither be sorted out nor cut apart in the future.

If she repaid the karmic bond, then she would obtain the Merit Power that everyone in the Immortal Cultivation Realm sought.

But—

Karmic bonds generally existed only upon those of great fortune and mighty powers. A minor Qi Refinement cultivator like her should not have borne one.

Could it be because of the Divination Art Heaven had bestowed upon her?

Unable to figure it out, Jiang Lu stopped thinking about it.

She walked over and nudged the two of them. Seeing their pale faces and blackened lips, she sighed.

Then she stuffed two Dan pills into their mouths.

"Wake up, wake up~"

When she checked them and sensed the life force gradually returning to their bodies, Jiang Lu let out a breath. Fortunately, they could still be saved.

Their complexions gradually improved. They slowly opened their eyes and saw the figure seated before them.
