Compared to the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family's excitement, Ning Qiushui's face was filled with shock and disbelief!
She had only intended to find a helper to give herself a chance at obtaining the unexpectedly discovered Immortal Divine Medicine.
But how could this helper suddenly summon a Supreme-level Ancestor?!
What was she supposed to do now?!
"Ancestor, this is Saint Ning, she has news about the Immortal Divine Medicine."
Lu Qingyun directly pointed at Ning Qiushui with the Great Wilderness Prison Sky Finger.
To be honest, he also wanted the Immortal Divine Medicine.
In fact, if he were to go to the Demon Abyss with Ning Qiushui, he would most likely be the one to obtain the Immortal Divine Medicine in the end!
However, there were still too many uncertain factors!
No one could be sure if any accidents might happen!
Rather than risking danger, it was better to directly call a top-tier expert!
With a Supreme being by his side, his actions could be much more unrestrained.
"Ancestor..."
Ning Qiushui quickly came to terms with it.
When she first saw the Immortal Divine Medicine, she had considered reporting the information.
But unfortunately, as an outsider Saint, she couldn't directly contact the Supreme being of the Lu Family.
Coupled with her own little scheme, she had tried to find someone to cooperate with to seek fortune and opportunity.
She never expected that the first helper she found would have such an extraordinary identity, capable of directly summoning the Ancestor of the Lu Family!
"This humble one, Ning Qiushui, does not hide from you, Ancestor. I stumbled upon the Immortal Divine Medicine while tempering my body with demonic energy in the Demon Abyss. That Immortal Divine Medicine is a Gourd Vine that pierces through the void, bearing eight divine forms on its vine. Unfortunately, my cultivation is low, and my Saint power was completely depleted at the time, forcing me to retreat from the Demon Abyss."
"When I entered that realm a second time, the Gourd Vine had not left. However, with my remaining Saint power, I was unable to subdue it."
"As I retreated that time, I noticed that the Immortal Divine Medicine seemed to be absorbing some substance there to nurture a ninth divine form. Therefore, I dared not delay and immediately returned to the family for reinforcements."
Ning Qiushui recounted everything she had experienced without omitting any details.
Throughout the entire process, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family kept his gaze fixed on her.
Seeing that her words were indeed true, the joy in his eyes almost overflowed.
"Good! We will depart immediately. If there are any gains, I will grant you one request."
The Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family waved his hand, immediately offering a reward.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyun's eyes lit up, and fearing he would be left out, he quickly asked, "What about me? What about me?"
"You?"
The Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family glanced at Lu Qingyun and was about to offer him the same reward.
But upon seeing Lu Qingyun's somewhat malicious expression, he swallowed the words he was about to speak.
He didn't make a hasty promise but asked first, "What... do you want?"
Lu Qingyun narrowed his eyes, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips, and he raised his index finger.
"It's not much. After we get the Immortal Divine Medicine, just let me take a bite. Just a small bite. And I won't bite the fruit, just a bite of the Gourd Vine."
The Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family hesitated for a moment before nodding.
It was just a bite, and the fundamental Immortal Divine Medicine fruit was not affected, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

After reaching an agreement, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family's voice suddenly became distant like the heavens, yet as if it were right beside their ears.
He took a step forward, and in an instant, the world changed!
The three of them had crossed an extremely vast distance and arrived directly at the entrance of the Demon Abyss!
Looking down from a height of ten thousand meters, a massive rift tore through the entire land!
The abyss was bottomless, and no one knew when it had appeared.
It seemed to exist above the Great Wilderness, having been there for countless years.
Within a thousand miles of the Demon Abyss, the land was desolate and devoid of life.
Without a sufficiently powerful cultivation, merely being near the Demon Abyss would result in being corroded by the pervasive demonic energy, turning one into withered bones.
This was one of the most famous Forbidden Lands in the Great Wilderness!
Not a small number of Saints had perished here!
Lu Qingyun looked at the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family with anticipation, hoping to witness the power of a Supreme being up close.
For example, collapsing the Demon Abyss with a single blow, forcefully descending into its depths, snatching the Immortal Divine Medicine, and then calmly departing, leaving behind only endless demonic creatures and an incompetent husband roaring endlessly.
However, the reality was completely contrary to what he had imagined.
As if sensing Lu Qingyun's thoughts, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family lightly tapped him.
"You think Supremes are invincible in the Great Wilderness?"
"Let's not talk about anything else. The Supreme of the Ming Family that we and the Ling Family joined forces to kill back then is a prime example. Although Supremes have reached the end of the cultivation path, there are still gaps between them! Some Supremes are so powerful they can fight ten, crushing ordinary Supremes!"
"Like our Lu Family's Great Ancestor, or the Lin Family's Sky-Piercing Giant Tree. Both are like that. It can be said that the reason the four top families stand so high is not only because they have far more Supremes than other major powers, but more importantly, because of these powerful old immortals."
"Besides, if you're ganged up on by multiple Supremes, there's also a risk of perishing."
"It's unfortunate that the reason this Demon Abyss is called a Forbidden Land is because several Supremes lie dormant in its deepest reaches."
"And it's even more unfortunate... that I have a small grudge with one of them. If we were to go in with great fanfare, I'd probably have to call for reinforcements and get the Lu Family into a war with this Demon Abyss. The gains wouldn't outweigh the losses."
Lu Qingyun nodded, indicating his understanding.
At the same time, he asked with unusual curiosity, "A small grudge... can't it be resolved? After all, he's a Supreme. If it could be resolved, even if some price had to be paid, it would be acceptable, right?"
"Uh... it can't be resolved."
The Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family rubbed his nose and said with some embarrassment and regret, "When I first became a Supreme, I was a bit bloodthirsty. I annihilated one force after another that didn't respect the Lu Family. The Demon Abyss Supreme's family was among them. His blood relatives... should all be gone."
"It's a pity that there was one who slipped through the net. By the time he achieved Supreme status, it was already too late to salvage the situation. But fortunately... our Lu Family is a major power with nine Supremes guarding it. Even if he achieved Supreme status, he wouldn't dare to trouble us."
"But he's also unreasonable. I've been patiently fishing for so many years to wash away the sins I committed back then. Yet he still clings to this petty grudge, showing no magnanimity of a Supreme!"
Lu Qingyun, standing beside him, nodded in agreement, "Indeed, so many years have passed, and he still doesn't know how to look forward. You already know you were wrong, so why can't he forgive you?"
Listening to the elder and the younger speak words that subverted her understanding of the world, Ning Qiushui lowered her head, remaining silent, her expression extremely complex.
In the Great Wilderness, everyone knew that the Lu Family valued their family above all else.
For the sake of an un-grown Prodigy, they had even mobilized all their Ancestors and forcefully killed a Supreme to be his sacrifice!
Now it seemed... this was pure double standards!
Ning Qiushui detested such behavior!
But then she thought, in a way, she was now considered part of the Lu Family?
"Right, that Supreme in the Demon Abyss is too unreasonable!"
Ning Qiushui clenched her fists and said indignantly.
At this moment, the three of them reached a consensus.
