Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 389 - 387: Saintess Xihua Captures Lu Ye! Starfall Spirit Sword’s Hidden Opportunity, A Partnership?
At this moment, Lu Ye was not in the cave where Jiang Qingge resided.
After all, even if an array was set up, the Source Qi there was not enough for two high-tier cultivators to cultivate simultaneously.
Moreover, among these two people, there was Lu Ye, a significant consumer of Source Qi.
Lu Ye was currently on the other side of the mountain.
Feeling his cultivation reaching the Middle Stage of the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Sixth Layer, he opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of impure air.
"That night, the two people from the Celestial Curtain Prefecture gave me the impression that they were both at the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Ninth Layer... It seems they are among the dozen or so Mortal Realm Grandmasters of the Celestial Curtain Prefecture, and among them, the most exceptional."
The pressure from such peak strength in this Hidden Spirit Land was indeed great.
Although the current advancement speed was not slow, Lu Ye was still not very satisfied.
To eliminate the threat of the Celestial Curtain Prefecture, one would at least have to be able to contend with its three Earth Realm Elders.
That would require the strength of an Earth Tier Grandmaster!
Thinking about it, Lu Ye decided to first return to Cloud Leaf City.
Even though he had Jiang Qingge remind the family half a month ago, Lu Ye still planned to go back and have a look.
Just as well, he had something in his hand that he couldn’t use.
With this in mind, Lu Ye briefly mentioned his plan to Jiang Qingge.
"You can go back and have a look; I’ll be fine here. After all, I’m also a Martial Arts Grandmaster now." Jiang Qingge immediately expressed she had no problem upon hearing Lu Ye’s idea.
Although her status as a Martial Arts Grandmaster was somewhat exaggerated for now, with her combat power far from matching a typical Grandmaster’s,
she could still easily handle ordinary Innate Late Stage cultivators by relying on the Powerful Flying Brick of Source Qi in the Grandmaster Realm.
The Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory are different; Martial Arts Grandmasters are rare, and Innate Late Stage individuals are also few.
Nodding slightly, Lu Ye left this mountain range and headed towards Cloud Leaf City.
An hour later...
Lu Ye successfully arrived at Cloud Leaf City.
First, he returned to the Jiang Family and repeated this matter to Patriarch Jiang Lianshan, advising them not to take it lightly.
If any anomalies were detected, they should evacuate immediately.
At the same time, he took out a lower grade Earth Tier martial technique, drawn from a few rounds of ordinary lottery, which he had no use for.
"Father-in-law, see if you can cultivate this martial technique first."
Lu Ye handed the secret manual to Jiang Lianshan, saying, "This is a lower grade Earth Tier palm technique called Profound Wind Palm. If there are any trustworthy family elders, they can also follow along in cultivation."
Earth Tier martial technique?!
Upon hearing these four words, Jiang Lianshan trembled with excitement. The Jiang Family had never possessed an Earth Tier martial technique before!
This martial technique was incredibly precious to their Jiang Family!
Given the current special circumstances, Jiang Lianshan did not decline.
Nodding his head, he received the Earth Tier martial arts secret manual, saying, "Son-in-law, rest assured, I will handle the family’s affairs well."
Watching Lu Ye as he turned to leave, Jiang Lianshan felt deeply moved.
It wasn’t until those messages gradually emerged that Jiang Lianshan realized his son-in-law could be so calm and patient.
Initially, many in the Jiang Family looked down on Lu Ye, but he remained unruffled, like a steadfast rock.
This mindset was something even those who’ve lived nearly a century, on the verge of becoming old fellows, could not match.
"An Earth Tier martial technique, and apart from my son-in-law, if the Jiang Family’s fortune is sufficient... perhaps there is a chance to elevate to a Grandmaster Family!"
Jiang Lianshan clutched the secret manual in his hands.
What Lu Ye had given him was a weighty gift for any Innate Clan.
...
Meanwhile, Lu Ye was already being respectfully seen off by two guards as he walked out of the Jiang Family.
Just as he stepped out, a veiled woman on the distant street suddenly widened her eyes.
Because upon his return to the Jiang Family, Lu Ye naturally resumed his original appearance.
And having learned that Jiang Qingge’s husband was likely the one who took the Starfall Spirit Sword that day, Saintess Xihua had firmly committed Lu Ye’s appearance to memory through the Memory Stone and other means.
Upon seeing Lu Ye at that moment, she immediately recognized him.
"Finally... I’ve caught him!"
Lu Ye also, in a split second, saw Saintess Xihua, whom he had once encountered in both the Eastern Territory and Northern Territory.
Instantly, Lu Ye displayed surprise.
Why would this saintess from the great sect of Yun Province be here?!
Something seems off...
Shouldn’t she be in the Eastern Territory or have already returned to Yun Province?
Looking at the distant Saintess Xihua, her eyes wide with excitement, Lu Ye knew she had likely recognized him.
If that were the case...
Without showing any emotion, Lu Ye immediately left the front of the Jiang Mansion.
Behind him, Saintess Xihua came to her senses and immediately followed.
"Don’t run... I mean no harm; I’ve come to seek your cooperation!"
Seeing Lu Ye seemingly intending to increase his speed to leave Cloud Leaf City, Saintess Xihua hurriedly communicated her message.
Still within Cloud Leaf City, Lu Ye did not fully unleash his speed, merely walking a little faster than an ordinary person. Once he was out of Cloud Leaf City... 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
He was probably going to run!
So, Saintess Xihua promptly clarified her intentions, asserting she was not an ill-wisher!
Lu Ye, in the face of this transmission, was indifferent.
Continuing to walk swiftly through the streets, heading towards the outskirts of Cloud Leaf City.
Cooperate?
Cooperate for what?
He couldn’t comprehend what they could accomplish by cooperating.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Nangong Xihua, seeing Lu Ye picking up his pace, gritted her teeth and directly played her trump card.
"I’m really here for cooperation; the Starfall Spirit Sword you possess... contains a hidden opportunity!"
In that instant...
Lu Ye’s steps halted.
The hasty Nangong Xihua, following closely, nearly ran into him.
Yet, being a figure in the Grandmaster Realm, she controlled her movement deftly, suddenly braking.
"What did you say...?"
Seeing that the person was finally willing to talk to her, Nangong Xihua subtly breathed a sigh of relief and continued via transmission.
"This isn’t the place for discussion; follow me to a little grove outside the city..."
Lu Ye: "???"
About two hundred miles outside Cloud Leaf City, in a small grove.
Two figures landed here consecutively, while simultaneously, two barriers also radiated from their hands.
Enveloping the area, preventing passers-by from eavesdropping.
The first to descend was Saintess Xihua, and she was the first to set up a soundproof barrier.
However, seeing Lu Ye, who acted just slightly slower than her, counter by creating a barrier much stronger than hers,
she felt a faint sense of helplessness in her heart.
This pretty face...
Back then, during the Eastern Territory’s Starfall Spirit Sword contention, he didn’t seem to be her match, relying solely on that woman’s power...
The ultimate soft meal king!
How come it was just a little while that passed, and facing each other again now... he was entirely different?
"Alright, tell me, what exactly is this hidden treasure related to the Spirit Sword you mentioned." Lu Ye spoke calmly.
Taking a light breath and organizing her thoughts a little, Nangong Xihua said, "This matter is absolutely true, the Starfall Spirit Sword is indeed related to a hidden treasure..."
Pausing slightly at this point, Nangong Xihua changed her tone a bit helplessly and said.
"However, right now, I can only tell you some basic information, because you’re currently stronger than I am. If I disclose everything and you ditch me to explore it on your own, I would have no recourse."
Saintess Xihua didn’t hide anything and said straightforwardly.
She feared being completely taken advantage of by this pretty face, who would walk away without acknowledging her later.
