At this moment, Gu Huaiyu resembled a purple-clad fairy, but the moment she opened her mouth, she shattered the aesthetic.
“Sister Lu, Sister Yushui, I broke through! Aren't I amazing!”
Gu Huaiyu strode towards Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu, well… a woman with ethereal temperament and exquisite beauty was walking with vigorous strides, and with a blade on her back, it was really hard to judge!
Lu Chengfeng and Yushui exchanged glances, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.
“Huaiyu, we practice the blade; there's no need to carry it on our back all the time.” Lu Chengfeng intentionally reminded Gu Huaiyu to remember that she was a great beauty and should act like one.
However, Gu Huaiyu quickly shook her head and said, “Xiao Hei said she can't enter the storage ring.”
“Xiao Hei?”
Lu Chengfeng and Yushui looked at Gu Huaiyu in confusion.
“Yes, Xiao Hei is my blade. Look…” As she spoke, Gu Huaiyu unsheathed the treasured blade from her back with a ‘shing’ sound. “Look, Xiao Hei is entirely black, so I named her Xiao Hei.”
Lu Chengfeng and Yushui exchanged glances. Although the blade was very black, wasn't naming it Xiao Hei a bit too much? The name would definitely be the same as some family's puppy.
But since Gu Huaiyu liked it, then Xiao Hei it was.
“Then… why can't Xiao Hei enter the storage ring?” Yushui asked.
Gu Huaiyu shook her head again and said, “I don't know. I wanted to put Xiao Hei into the storage ring before, but there was no reaction at all.”
“So magical?”
Yushui looked at the Xiao Hei blade in surprise, while Lu Chengfeng on the side was thoughtful.
“Why don't you let me try? Maybe your storage ring's grade is too low. Xiao Hei's grade is higher than the storage ring's, so it can't be stored.” Yushui said, eager to try.
“Alright then!”
Gu Huaiyu placed Xiao Hei on the ground.
Yushui extended two slender white fingers, one of which wore a storage ring. Her finger gently tapped in the void, and a ripple appeared. The storage ring also emitted a burst of light towards Xiao Hei.
“Wait…”
Lu Chengfeng hurriedly tried to stop her, but the light from Yushui's storage ring had already touched Xiao Hei…
“Huh… there really isn't any reaction at all.” Yushui was surprised. Her storage ring's grade was very high, but it still couldn't store Xiao Hei. Just how high was Xiao Hei's grade? This made Yushui very curious.
“By the way, Senior Sister, what were you saying just now?” Yushui looked at Lu Chengfeng.
Lu Chengfeng shook her head and said, “It's nothing.”
She originally thought that something terrifying would happen, because some powerful weapons were very resistant to entering storage rings. Even Huaiyu couldn't let Xiao Hei enter the storage ring. If Yushui, an outsider, wanted to make Xiao Hei enter the storage ring, it might anger the spirit within Xiao Hei. How could the grade of the treasured blade that the teacher gave to Huaiyu be low?
But fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
“Rumble!”
Just then, a shocking sound came from afar, and even the Lihen Peak faintly felt a tremor. However, the tremor quickly stopped, lasting only a few breaths.
“What happened?”
“Could it be that enemies are attacking our Tianxuan Blade Sect?”
Lu Chengfeng and Yushui's faces were filled with doubt.
Gu Huaiyu inserted Xiao Hei back into its scabbard and said with some excitement, “Who are the enemies of our Tianxuan Blade Sect? Are they strong? Are there any enemies I can kill?”
Lu Chengfeng glanced at Gu Huaiyu, and seeing the excitement on Gu Huaiyu's face, she couldn't help but recall when she first met Gu Huaiyu. At that time, Gu Huaiyu wanted her to kill Cheng Hou and the other two; she was very bloodthirsty. In the past few years, Gu Huaiyu had been cultivating in seclusion at Lihen Peak and hadn't even killed a chicken. Lu Chengfeng originally thought that Gu Huaiyu's bloodthirst wasn't so strong anymore, but now it seemed that it hadn't become lighter; instead, it had become stronger.
This girl must be thinking of taking Xiao Hei to kill enemies now, right?
“Hahaha, so funny, hahaha…”
At this time, Ronghua returned with an exaggerated smile on her face.
“Oh, Huaiyu, you successfully broke through? Perfect, I'll share some good news with you.” Ronghua said.
“What good news?” Gu Huaiyu asked curiously.
“I don't know which genius it was, but while cultivating, they cleaved the Enforcement Hall with a single blade. Now the Enforcement Hall is in chaos. Hahaha, those guys have been targeting our Lihen Peak; it serves them right for being cleaved.”
Ronghua said, laughing.
“What did you say? The Enforcement Hall was cleaved with a single blade?”
Lu Chengfeng asked in surprise.
“That's right. You'll know if you go take a look.” Ronghua said.
“Let's go, let's go take a look!”
Lu Chengfeng waved her hand and led Gu Huaiyu towards the Enforcement Hall.
“I'm going too.” Ronghua glanced at the training field, which only had her and Yushui left, and hurriedly tried to take off, but was stopped by Yushui.
“Where are you going?” Yushui looked at Ronghua with a smile.
“Second Senior Sister…”
“No need to say more. You're back at the right time. Huaiyu successfully broke through the Life and Death Boundary. I want to refine a treasure garment for her and I happen to be lacking Celestial Silk.” Yushui said.
“But I don't have Celestial Silk either.” Ronghua said.
Celestial Silk was silk spun by a spirit beast called the Celestial Ice Silkworm. It was soft yet tough and was an excellent material for making close-fitting clothing. It was very popular among female cultivators, so despite the fact that Celestial Silk's grade wasn't high, it was extremely expensive. In addition, it was too popular and often had no price but no market and was extremely rare.
Yushui waved her jade hand, and a jade slip appeared in her hand. She said, “This is a sect mission I obtained for you. On the way to the mission, there is an Ice Mountain Market where Celestial Ice Silkworms appear. Catch a Celestial Ice Silkworm while you're doing the mission.”
Ronghua “willingly” accepted the jade slip and muttered, “Is it catching a Celestial Ice Silkworm and doing the mission on the side?”
“Hmm? What did you say?” Yushui looked at Ronghua calmly.
“Reporting to Second Senior Sister, I said I guarantee to complete the mission beautifully!” Ronghua said with awe.
“Very good, go. You only have three days. After three days, the ice and snow on that ice mountain will begin to melt. Hurry up!” Yushui said.
“Ah…”
Upon hearing this, Ronghua left Lihen Peak in a flash and headed non-stop towards the coordinates provided by the jade slip.
Yushui was stunned for a moment and said, “I was planning to lend you a Saint-grade Dharma boat…”
Yushui shook her head, but she also knew why Ronghua was so anxious. Part of it was because of her, but more importantly, it was because of Gu Huaiyu. Since it was a gift for Gu Huaiyu, Ronghua, as her sister, would naturally contribute.
In the clouds, Gu Changsheng had just returned from the chaos.
“This little girl is lucky. The people she's met all take good care of her.”
