Compared to the excitement of the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family,
Ning Qiushui's face was filled with astonishment and disbelief!
She had merely wanted to find a helper, so that she might have a chance to claim the Immortal Divine Medicine she had discovered by accident.
But how had this helper suddenly called over a supreme ancestor!?
What the hell was she supposed to do now!!
"Ancestor, it was this Saint Ning who has news of an Immortal Divine Medicine."
Lu Qingyun directly used a Great Wilderness Prison Sky Finger, pointing at Ning Qiushui.
To be honest, he wanted the Immortal Divine Medicine too.
If he had been willing to enter the Demon Abyss with Ning Qiushui, then he would most likely have been the one to obtain the Immortal Divine Medicine in the end!
But there were simply too many uncertainties!
No one could be sure that no accidents would occur!
Rather than take risks, it was better to directly call in an overpowered carry!
With a supreme being at their side, they could act much more freely.
"Ancestor..."
Ning Qiushui quickly came to terms with it.
When she had first accidentally discovered that Immortal Divine Medicine, she had considered reporting the information.
But as an outsider Saint, she had no way to directly contact a supreme being of the Lu Family.
Coupled with her own little selfish thoughts, she had tried to find someone to cooperate with and seek a fortuitous opportunity.
Yet she had never expected that the first helper she found would possess such an extraordinary identity, one capable of directly summoning an ancestor of the Lu Family!
"This little woman is Ning Qiushui. To be honest with you, Ancestor, I was tempering my body with demonic qi in the Demon Abyss when I accidentally caught sight of the Immortal Divine Medicine. That Immortal Divine Medicine was a Gourd Vine stretching through the void, bearing eight different divine forms. But my cultivation was too low, and my Saint Power had already been exhausted at the time, so I had no choice but to retreat from the Demon Abyss."
"When I entered that region for a second time, the Gourd Vine had not left. But with my remaining Saint Power, I was unable to subdue it."
"When I retreated that time, I discovered that the Immortal Divine Medicine seemed to be absorbing some kind of substance there, nurturing a ninth divine form. Thus, I did not dare delay and immediately returned to the Lineage to seek assistance."
Ning Qiushui recounted everything she had experienced without leaving out a single detail.
Throughout the entire process, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family kept his gaze fixed upon her.
Once he saw that she was indeed telling the truth, the joy in his eyes nearly overflowed.
"Good! We shall depart at once. If we gain anything, I can fulfill one request of yours."
With a wave of his hand, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family immediately offered her a reward.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyun's eyes lit up. Afraid of being left out, he hurriedly said, "What about me? What about me?"
"You?"
The Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family glanced at Lu Qingyun, just about to offer him the same reward.
But when he saw the vaguely ill-intentioned expression on Lu Qingyun's face, he swallowed the words that had yet to leave his mouth.
Rather than boast outright, he first asked, "You... what do you want?"
Lu Qingyun narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly as he raised one finger.
"Not much. Once we get that Immortal Divine Medicine, just let me take one bite. Just a tiny bite. And I won't bite the fruit—I'll only take one bite out of the Gourd Vine."
After hesitating for a moment, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family nodded.
It was only one bite. So long as the fundamental fruit of the Immortal Divine Medicine remained unaffected, it would not be much of a problem.

After they reached an agreement, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family's voice suddenly became as distant as the horizon, yet seemed to ring right beside their ears.
He took one step forward, and in an instant, heaven and earth shifted!
The three of them crossed an incredibly vast distance and arrived directly at the entrance to the Demon Abyss!
Looking down from an altitude of ten thousand meters, they saw an enormous fissure tearing across the entire earth!
The abyss was bottomless, and no one knew when it had appeared.
It seemed to have existed upon the Great Wilderness for countless ages.
Within ten thousand miles of the Demon Abyss, all was barren, utterly devoid of life.
Without sufficiently powerful cultivation, merely remaining near the Demon Abyss would lead to being eroded by the demonic qi that endlessly permeated the area, until one became withered bones.
This was one of the most famous Forbidden Lands in the Great Wilderness.
Quite a few Saints had fallen here!
Lu Qingyun looked eagerly at the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family, hoping to witness the mighty power of a supreme being at close range.
For example, smashing the Demon Abyss apart with one strike, forcefully descending into its depths, grabbing that Immortal Divine Medicine in one hand, then calmly leaving, while leaving behind endless Demonic Beasts howling nonstop like impotent husbands.
But reality was vastly different from what he had imagined.
As though he had seen through Lu Qingyun's thoughts, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family gave him an annoyed knock on the head.
"Do you think supreme beings are invincible in the Great Wilderness?"
"Setting aside everything else, the supreme being of the Ming Family whom we joined hands with the Ling Family to kill is one example. Although supreme beings have reached the end of the path of cultivation, there are still differences among them! Some supreme beings are so powerful that they can fight ten alone and crush ordinary supreme beings!"
"Our Lu Family's First Ancestor and the Lin Family's Sky-Piercing Giant Tree are both like this. One could say that the reason the four top Lineages stand so high above all others is not merely because they possess far more supreme beings than other major forces, but more importantly because of these powerful old Undying monsters."
"Furthermore, if a supreme being is gang-beaten by several other supreme beings, there is still a risk of falling."
"Unfortunately, the reason this Demon Abyss is called a Forbidden Land is because several supreme beings lie sleeping in its deepest depths."
"Even more unfortunately... I have a little grudge with one of them. If we enter with great fanfare, we may have to call for reinforcements and have the Lu Family go to war with the Demon Abyss. The gains would not be worth the losses."
Lu Qingyun nodded, showing that he understood.
At the same time, he asked with great curiosity, "A little grudge... can't it be reconciled? He is a supreme being, after all. If reconciliation is possible, then even paying some price would be acceptable, wouldn't it?"
"Er... it cannot be reconciled."
The Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family rubbed his nose and said with some embarrassment and regret, "When I had just become a supreme being, I was rather bloodthirsty. I slaughtered one force after another that did not respect the Lu Family. The Lineage of that supreme being in the Demon Abyss was among them. His blood relatives should have been... wiped out without a single survivor."
"It is only a pity that there was such a fish that slipped through the net. By the time he became a supreme being, it was already difficult to salvage the situation. Fortunately... our Lu Family has a great foundation, with nine supreme beings guarding the Lineage. Even after becoming a supreme being, he did not dare come and cause trouble for us."
"But he too—clearly, to cleanse myself of the murderous sins I committed back then, I have settled down and fished for so many years. Yet he still clings to this tiny grudge, without the slightest breadth of heart expected of a supreme being!"
Lu Qingyun nodded in agreement from the side. "Indeed. It has been so many years, yet he does not know how to look ahead. You already know you were wrong, so why can't he forgive you?"
Listening to the old and young pair's worldview-shattering words, Ning Qiushui lowered her head without saying a word, her expression incomparably complicated.
In the Great Wilderness, who did not know that the Lu Family valued its Lineage above all else?
For the sake of an ungrown genius, they would even dispatch all their Ancestors and forcefully kill a supreme being to bury alongside him!
Now it seemed... you people were simply applying double standards!
Ning Qiushui utterly despised such behavior!
But on second thought, did she not seem to count as a member of the Lu Family now?
"That's right, the supreme beings of the Demon Abyss are far too unreasonable!"
Ning Qiushui waved her fists and said indignantly.
At that moment, the three of them reached a consensus.
