Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 297 - 45: When the Plot Unfolds, the Dagger is Revealed!

Chapter 297: Chapter 45: When the Plot Unfolds, the Dagger is Revealed!

After leaving the great hall, Master Fengyue immediately went to her cave mansion.

Inside, Lin Xueying had just come out of the cultivation room, and upon seeing her mentor, her mood greatly improved.

She immediately approached.

"Disciple greets Master!"

She spoke, holding onto Master Fengyue’s arm, swaying affectionately.

"Oh?"

"Have you... broken through?"

Master Fengyue’s face was full of surprise and delight.

At this moment, Lin Xueying’s cultivation was already at the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment.

"Yesterday, I had an inspiration, went into seclusion for cultivation, and today, I fortunately broke through!" Lin Xueying replied with a smile.

Her voice was melodious and pleasant, like the sound of flowing clear spring water.

"Good... very good!"

Master Fengyue grabbed Lin Xueying’s hand, gently patted it, and then looked at her as if she were a treasured artifact, her eyes shining.

"Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment, you’re only one step away from the late stage!"

"By then, you would be able to..."

"That’s a Water Moon Body. It’s said that the first Nascent Soul in thousands of years in the Eastern Wilderness might just be cultivated by me... hahaha..."

Thinking of this, Master Fengyue couldn’t help but reveal a greedy expression.

The Water Moon Body is one of the most top-tier spirit bodies in the Cultivation Realm.

Possessors of this spirit body cultivate water attribute techniques at a faster speed, comparable to Celestial Spirit Root cultivators.

Even more wondrous, those with this spirit body are naturally immune to cultivation deviation.

Therefore, when forming a Nascent Soul, they have a natural advantage against the Celestial Demon trial.

The only downside is that this spirit body is in a hidden state in the early stages, and only at the moment of Core Formation can it be successfully activated.

With the power of the activated spirit body, one often forms a high-grade True Pill.

Even among those with the Immortal Golden Core, there are quite a few.

Master Fengyue had once read about this spirit body in an ancient classic.

And the reason she so readily accepted Lin Xueying back then was that she detected traces of a spirit body on Lin Xueying.

After observing for years, she became increasingly certain that the spirit body on Lin Xueying was indeed the Water Moon Body.

"Master..."

At this time, Lin Xueying’s voice interrupted Master Fengyue’s thoughts.

It turned out that Master Fengyue, engrossed in her pleasant thoughts, unintentionally tightened her grip, causing Lin Xueying some discomfort.

"Master, the way you look at me keeps getting stranger!" Lin Xueying also sensed this.

"Hahaha, I was momentarily distracted!" Master Fengyue laughed it off.

Speaking, she took out an "Azure Sky Pill" to aid in breaking through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment and handed it to Lin Xueying.

"Xueying, this is an Azure Sky Pill. Next, focus on cultivating steadily. When you reach late-stage Foundation Establishment, come out of seclusion!"

"Yes, Master!" Lin Xueying nodded.

"Oh, there’s one more thing!"

Master Fengyue paused, then continued.

"Please instruct me, Master!" Lin Xueying replied respectfully.

"I remember the current lord of Wangchuan Lake is your childhood friend,"

"I used to oppose your relationship because you are my disciple and your high-grade spiritual root has potential for a Fake Pill or even a True Pill,"

"And Zhou Xun back then was just an ordinary Tier Two Alchemist, so naturally, I couldn’t agree to you two becoming Dao companions,"

"But now, that Zhou Xun has done a great deed by eliminating the infiltrators from the Celestial Feather Sect. The Grand Elder personally ordered to recruit him and fully support him in forming a core,"

"Now, you two are well-matched."

"Write a letter, and I will personally negotiate for you two to become Dao companions!"

Master Fengyue said slowly, showing clear admiration when she mentioned Zhou Xun.

Lin Xueying, hearing this, did not let it go to her head.

She was aware of the previous rumors about Cloud Light Sect’s dealings with Zhou Xun.

Moreover, knowing Cloud Light Sect, she absolutely didn’t believe that they wouldn’t be dealing with someone like Zhou Xun now.

Currently, all of Zhou Xun’s divine techniques were linked to the Mountain Protection Array.

Inside the array, he could contend against a middle-stage Core Formation, but outside, even a Fake Pill Cultivator could easily capture him.

Thinking of this, Lin Xueying began to suspect her master’s true intentions.

After considering for a moment, she shook her head and said:

"There’s no need to trouble Master with this; I can handle it myself!"

"The marriage alliance was ordered by the Grand Elder himself, so naturally, I must handle it personally!"

Master Fengyue said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueying was silent.

After a long pause, she finally looked up:

"Master, Zhou Xun is merely an Alchemist, relying only on a stationary array,"

"Does the sect still refuse to tolerate him?"

Her master usually spoke of Zhou Xun with deep bitterness, strongly opposing her association with him.

In the past, she had snuck out several times.

Now, the sudden change in attitude was truly suspicious.

"Xueying, what are you saying!" Master Fengyue’s expression immediately turned cold.

"We at Cloud Light Sect don’t envy talent!"

"Zhou Xun, as a Loose Cultivator, has no ambitions. Isn’t there enough room in Xui Country for a single Wangchuan Lake?"

Lin Xueying inwardly scoffed at her master’s words.

As the eldest daughter of the Lin Family, she had seen too much of such political maneuvers.

The more Master Fengyue said this, the more it indicated their determination to deal with Wangchuan Lake.

"You..."

Master Fengyue was furious at these words!

"Alright, alright, spreading your wings now!"

Master Fengyue never expected the usually obedient and sensible Lin Xueying to defy her.

She had no idea that Lin Xueying had long sensed something amiss, but was merely pretending due to her master’s status as a True Pill Cultivator and a Cloud Light Sect Elder.

Now that her master wanted to use Lin Xueying to deal with Zhou Xun, she naturally wouldn’t agree.

"Even if I am reprimanded by the Grand Elder, you still refuse to write?"

Lin Xueying bowed her head slightly, saying nothing.

Seeing this, Master Fengyue’s anger grew, ready to lash out, but she seemed to think of something and instantly calmed down.

"Alright, if you don’t want to write it, then forget it!"

"But you won’t be allowed to see him, not until you break through to the late stage!"

With that, she turned and left.

She then went straight to Lin Xueying’s room, found a letter that had just been written and not yet sent, and put it into her storage bag before leaving the room.

Before leaving, she took out the manipulation token and activated all the restrictions of the cave mansion, preventing Lin Xueying from leaving early.

When Lin Xueying returned to her room, she found the letter she’d just written to Zhou Xun was gone.

Thinking of Master Fengyue’s reaction earlier, it took her only a moment to understand her master’s intentions.

She immediately went to the cave mansion’s entrance, intending to leave.

But the restriction was fully activated,

She took out the manipulation token, only to find her access had been revoked, and the Tier Three Low-Grade restriction was far beyond her current ability to break.

She couldn’t get out!

Lin Xueying could only sit despondently on the ground, hoping Zhou Xun could escape disaster.

She also made up her mind that if Zhou Xun fell, she would not live alone.
