Chapter 18: Master, why are you so good to me?

Hearing the old ancestor's words, Ji Fuyao fell silent.

She neither affirmed nor denied.

She supposed the old ancestor had already found a clue.

She wondered what the old ancestor had probed into her.

The identity of Empress Fuyao was secondary; the fall of the Fuyao Dynasty, in the eyes of a great power like the Grand Dao Sect, was merely a ripple in the river of all beings in Nan Huang.

But the secret art of reincarnation involves supreme mysteries; once exposed, it would likely cause an upheaval in Nan Huang, and even the Forbidden Zone Great Emperor might intervene.

She thought of this.

A ripple rose in her heart, and she asked, "Old ancestor, what did you see?"

The gray-robed old ancestor gave a faint smile, "Fuyao, you need not worry. If I am not mistaken, you have some connection to the Fuyao Dynasty of three thousand years ago."

"Our Grand Dao Sect has stood in Nan Huang for countless ages; if we cannot even protect our own disciples, what is there to talk about standing firm?"

"You are now a member of my Grand Dao Sect! Outside the sect you may have your own identity, but within the Grand Dao Sect you will always be its disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyao understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

She merely felt that she had some connection with the Fuyao Dynasty.

Moreover, the Grand Dao Sect will protect her!

She bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, old ancestor!"

The gray-robed old ancestor chuckled, "All right. I will remind the sect leader of this."

Soon after.

The sect leader announced the results of the inner sect trial.

"Tomorrow, the top ten disciples of the inner sect trial may go to the Grand Dao Hall to receive their rewards!"

Many disciples stirred in an uproar.

This inner sect trial was utterly unexpected!

Who could have imagined that a disciple who had just joined the sect would actually come in first in the inner sect trial!

This has never happened in the history of the Grand Dao Sect!

Moreover, in this inner sect trial, even someone as strong as Luo Lingkong failed to force Ji Fuyao to reveal her true strength!

Where are her limits?

A moment later.

The gray-robed quasi-emperor old ancestor did not linger and left directly.

Lu Xuan smiled and looked at Ji Fuyao, "Fuyao, let's go back."

Ji Fuyao tilted her snow-white neck slightly, hooked her arm around Lu Xuan's, and said, "All right, Master."

Her slender jade hand extended, and a misty cloud appeared.

Lu Xuan and Ji Fuyao stood upon the mist and drifted toward Xuan Qing Feng.

Seeing this, everyone sighed softly in their hearts.

Lu Xuan will still be Ji Fuyao's master!

I don't know why the old ancestor agreed to continue being a master just now.

Unbelievable!

Although Lu Xuan won the bet,

but they are not convinced.

Very unconvinced!

On Xuan Qing Feng.

Ji Fuyao came to Lu Xuan's cave dwelling, looked at him with a serious expression, and said, "Master, tomorrow I may have to take a mission to train outside the sect."

Lu Xuan nodded, "Sure."

Ji Fuyao's face flushed slightly, "Master may have already guessed that I have some secrets. When the time is ripe, I will tell you."

Lu Xuan casually said, "No problem. Just follow your plan. However, before you leave, I will go with you to the Grand Dao Hall to exchange some treasures. That way, when you leave the sect, you will have the means to protect yourself."

Ji Fuyao nodded, "Okay. Thank you, Master."

The next day.

Upon waking, Lu Xuan felt his cultivation increase considerably.

It seems Ji Fuyao was cultivating all night again!

He walked out of the cave dwelling, went to the mountain stream, and washed his face.

Then he lay on the Yan Chuang before the Cao Wu, basking in the sun.

Not long after.

A fiery red figure stepped upon a divine rainbow from afar and flew toward Xuan Qing Feng; from far away, a pleasant voice rang out.

"Master, good morning."

"I just went to the Grand Dao Hall to collect the rewards of this inner sect trial and the entrance examination."

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Good."

Ji Fuyao descended onto Xuan Qing Feng, gave a bewitching smile, and walked toward Lu Xuan.

"My identity token now holds one million contribution points. Besides that, I also have an attacking holy weapon, the Fire Shadow Spear!"

"I have chosen a saint-rank cultivation art, the Profound Fire Three Transformations."

Lu Xuan said, "Not bad. For your future cultivation, just follow your own plan."

Ji Fuyao tilted her snow-white neck slightly, nodded, and returned to her own cave dwelling.

She began to organize her gains from this period!

In one month, she advanced from the Great Xuan King Realm to the Profound Sect Realm!

The Dao foundation has been completed!

The Way of Spiritual Fire has attained great accomplishment!

She also obtained a six-star Emperor-tier cultivation method!

The harvest is huge!

Unfortunately, she wanted to exchange for the Grand Dao Scripture, but her contribution points were far too short.

The Grand Dao Scripture consists of three layers.

Just the first layer requires eight million contribution points!

She still needs to accumulate for a period of time.

However, she is now quite satisfied.

Next, she can take a mission, then head to the Black Flame Mountains to contact the Imperial Dynasty Dragon Guard and the Qingcheng Ye Family!

Immediately.

Ji Fuyao cast countless seals and restrictions in her cave dwelling.

She took out the Fuyao Order, activating an ancient secret method to begin contacting the Imperial Dynasty Dragon Guard!

A mysterious and obscure power flowed.

From the Fuyao Order came the voices of the commanders Wang Man and Qing Yan.

"Your Majesty the Empress!"

Ji Fuyao said, "Today I will head to the Black Flame Mountains; I've checked, it will take several days of travel."

Wang Man excitedly said, "Your Majesty the Empress, we should have sent people to patrol the outskirts of the Black Flame Mountains; if you descend, we will respond at the first notice."

"The Qingcheng Ye Family, we have already contacted them. However, they have a request: they must see the Fuyao Order and your appearance before they will swear a heavenly oath and continue to be loyal to you."

"Another of your forces has not yet responded to us. Once this matter is settled, we will go there ourselves to handle it."

Ji Fuyao said, "Good."

Qing Yan said, "Your Majesty the Empress, the Black Flame Mountains are considered our territory. If you descend, we will activate the ancient formation and will not leak any news."

Ji Fuyao nodded, "I understand."

After a moment, Ji Fuyao put away the Fuyao Order.

In a few days, she will be able to reunite with her old troops!

She still harbors some anticipation in her heart!

Not long after.

Lu Xuan sent a sound transmission to Ji Fuyao, "Fuyao, since you're leaving, let's first go to the Grand Dao Hall to exchange some treasures for you."

Ji Fuyao said, "Thank you, Master."

She immediately walked out of the cave dwelling.

Lu Xuan smiled, "Let's go."

Ji Fuyao linked arms with Lu Xuan, a divine rainbow appeared beneath her feet, and they flew toward the Grand Dao Hall.

Outside the Grand Dao Hall.

Ji Fuyao and Lu Xuan landed with a boom.

Some nearby disciples looked at Lu Xuan with astonishment.

Lu Xuan actually came to the Grand Dao Hall as well?

In their impression, Lu Xuan had stayed in Xuan Qing Feng for six or seven years, only leaving for the disciple recruitment convention, otherwise never moving.

Lu Xuan walked through the crowd.

Some disciples, forcing themselves, bowed and said, "Peak Master Lu!"

"Peak Master Lu."

Their feelings were complex.

The former worthless peak master, now thanks to Ji Fuyao, his status has risen like a boat in rising water.

The teacher gains honor through the disciple!

Before, they often complained about Lu Xuan, but now they dare not.

Because if Ji Fuyao discovers them, she would likely suppress them on the spot.

This makes it hard for them to accept.

Soon.

Lu Xuan and Ji Fuyao entered the Grand Dao Hall and went straight to Elder Mu.

"Elder Mu, I want to exchange some things."

Elder Mu was about to say, "Do you have contribution points?"

Upon second thought, when Lu Xuan's master fell, he left behind nearly tens of millions of contribution points for Lu Xuan.

Elder Mu furrowed his brows, looked at Lu Xuan with his cloudy eyes, and took out an ancient jade slip.

"What do you want to exchange? Check the jade slip yourself."

Lu Xuan took the jade slip, didn't look at it, and directly said, "The first volume of the Grand Dao Scripture."

His voice fell!

Elder Mu was stunned.

Ji Fuyao's delicate body trembled.

Lu Xuan wouldn't be exchanging it for her, would he?

A moment of silence.

Mu Lao looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Are you sure you want to exchange for the first volume of the Great Dao Scripture? Eight million contribution points."

Lu Xuan took out his identity token, which still held over twenty million contribution points.

That can be described as extremely extravagant!

Lu Xuan said, "Mu Lao, just deduct it directly."

Mu Lao took the token, and a dim, ancient power flowed in his hand.

In an instant, a beam of divine radiance surged forth.

The jade slip containing the technique of the first volume of the Great Dao Scripture.

Mu Lao's face turned grave as he said, "This jade slip of the Great Dao Scripture technique can only be read by one person, and it burns after reading!"

"The Dharma must not be lightly transmitted! This technique bears the Emperor Realm seal, and cultivators cannot pass it on to another!"

Lu Xuan nodded, accepted the technique jade slip, and said, "Good."

Mu Lao also knew that Lu Xuan was exchanging this for Ji Fuyao's Great Dao Scripture.

At that moment, Lu Xuan looked at Ji Fuyao and said, "Fuyao, this jade slip contains supreme treasures that can be exchanged; you choose for yourself."

Saying that, Lu Xuan placed the treasure exchange jade slip into Ji Fuyao's palm.

Ji Fuyao extended her divine sense and immediately saw a vast, illusory space.

Inside were countless spiritual artifacts, spiritual herbs, saintly weapons, and runic seals!

There were even emperor's weapons!

However, the contribution points required for the emperor's weapons were somewhat exaggerated.

They required tens of millions of contribution points, starting!

Ji Fuyao selected some runic seals, all of saint rank, costing one million contribution points.

Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "That's too little."

Ji Fuyao felt embarrassed to continue picking.

Lu Xuan directly exchanged saint king rank and half-emperor rank runic seals for Ji Fuyao!

There were also some defensive supreme treasures!

Mu Lao was left staring dumbfounded.

Was he planning to arm Ji Fuyao to the teeth?

Not long after.

Lu Xuan handed Ji Fuyao a space ring and said, "These should be enough."

Ji Fuyao froze for a moment, a warm current rising in her heart.

Lu Xuan had bought far too many life-saving items!

In an instant, he spent another six million contribution points!

For a while, she didn't know what to say.

Her master was too good to her.

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "All right, Fuyao, let's go back."

At that moment.

Mu Lao suddenly wondered, "Hey, Lu Xuan, what's your cultivation?"

Lu Xuan froze for a moment.

He used the system to shield his cultivation.

Unless he actively reveals it, others cannot see it at all.

Lu Xuan said, "I have hidden it."

Mu Lao's old face twitched.

???

You're just a Qi Refining stage; hiding your cultivation is utterly useless!

Pretending to be an expert?

Mu Lao then thought it must be the concealment technique Ji Fuyao gave Lu Xuan, of extremely high rank, which even he cannot see through.

The Old Ancestor had already told him that Ji Fuyao has some connection to the three-thousand-year-old Fuyao Dynasty.

They now suspect that Lu Xuan also has some ties to the Fuyao Dynasty.

Otherwise, why would Ji Fuyao protect Lu Xuan so fiercely!

Thinking of this,

Mu Lao waved his hand, "Lu Xuan, let's go, let's go."

He looked impatient.

Lu Xuan had no choice but to take Ji Fuyao and leave.

But at that moment, Ji Fuyao's heart was overturned by a huge wave.

Just now, even Mu Lao couldn't detect Lu Xuan's cultivation!

You know, Mu Lao is a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert!

It's obvious that his master, Lu Xuan, is a Great Emperor!

Ji Fuyao's delicate lips parted slightly, she gave a light smile, linked her arm with Lu Xuan's, and thought.

Master, you've hidden yourself quite deeply!

Soon.

Ji Fuyao and Lu Xuan returned to Xuan Qing Feng.

Lu Xuan directly handed over the jade slip of the cultivation method of the first volume of the Great Dao Scripture to Ji Fuyao.

Ji Fuyao's jade hand trembled, she was somewhat dazed.

This is the first volume of the Great Dao Scripture!

She joined the Great Dao Sect just for the Great Dao Scripture!

Who would have thought that in just one month she would have obtained the first volume?

That's eight million contribution points!

Lu Xuan smiled, "Fuyao, accept it. If you comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao Scripture, your future achievements will be immeasurable!"

Ji Fuyao felt somewhat moved, her voice trembling, "Master, why are you so good to me?"
