"Sword Cultivators nurture swords with their bodies, and nourish bodies with swords. The best way to heal a sword injury is to ’cultivate’ the ’injury’ with a ’sword’. Ye Junior Brother, you should be more aware of this principle and its effectiveness than I am."

After Luo Qingxian finished speaking, Ye Xiaofan was already gasping deeply. He could give up the Godslaying Sword, could abandon the "Godslaying Sword Technique," but he could never forsake his master. If he could obtain the Godslaying Sword and the "Godslaying Sword Technique," perhaps it would truly bring Dugu Nan back to life, and even guide him on an even more terrifying path of Sword Dao, just as Luo Qingxian suggested.

Thinking about this, Ye Xiaofan was already out of control and immediately shouted urgently, "Sister Luo, do you have the ’Godslaying Sword Technique’?"

If so, why had it never been handed over to the Sword Saint after so many years? No matter how one looks at it, it is one of the fundamental heritages of the Divine Sword Sect. Keeping a peak Sword Saint alive would be an unimaginable deterrence to any power.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxian let out a rare bitter smile, "Ye Junior Brother, you make it sound too easy. If the Divine Sword Sect possessed it, they would have given it to the Sword Saint long ago. Unfortunately, the Godslaying Sword is neither within the Divine Sword Sect nor anywhere in the vicinity of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range."

"In the Hundred Sects Battle Domain?" Ye Xiaofan almost guessed the answer and asserted confidently.

Luo Qingxian heard this and nodded slightly, speaking calmly, "It’s in the Main Battle Domain, and it’s not far from our base. Five months is enough time for us to make a round trip. If Ye Junior Brother wishes, Sister can take you along and help you acquire the Godslaying Sword."

Obtaining the Godslaying Sword means acquiring the complete "Godslaying Sword Technique" as well.

However, Ye Xiaofan caught something in Luo Qingxian’s words, immediately furrowing his brow and asking, "’We’? Are there other brothers and sisters going there besides Sister?"

"Of course, there are other brothers and sisters. The place where the Godslaying Sword is located is an ancient ruin of eternal antiquity. Not only will some brothers and sisters from the Divine Sword Sect go, but also some Self-Slaying Realm experts from the Hundred Sects. Yet, the number won’t be as many as you think," Luo Qingxian answered.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofan picked up his tea cup and fell into deep thought.

Luo Qingxian referred to some Self-Slaying Realm experts from the Hundred Sects. Obviously, it’s muddy waters at the Self-Slaying Realm level, and he, a cultivator at the Spiritual Essence Realm peak, despite his double talent and freakish prowess, can’t stir this spring water. Going there might mean even survival is at risk.

Luo Qingxian saw his reaction but didn’t rush or pressure him, quietly accompanying him for tea.

Finally, after a little while, Ye Xiaofan suddenly raised his head, eyes filled with determination, "Sister Luo, can you assure me?"

"To guarantee obtaining the Godslaying Sword and ’Godslaying Sword Technique,’ while also ensuring a safe retreat, but you have to come with us," Luo Qingxian replied confidently, seeming very sure of herself.

Guided by her voice, Ye Xiaofan pondered for a moment and replied resolutely, "Thank you, Sister."

Once he spoke, Ye Xiaofan inadvertently showed a bitter smile, realizing that Luo Qingxian had long set a trap for him, and willingly, he jumped right into it.

Thinking this, Ye Xiaofan sighed softly to himself, the "He Yuan Technique" was crucial; he must get what he couldn’t give up, and to save his master’s hope, he couldn’t dismiss any possibility.

Thinking this far, Ye Xiaofan straightforwardly and directly asked, "Now that words have been said to this extent, Sister may as well speak directly. What kind of price must I pay to obtain these? Or what should I do?"

Guided by his voice, Luo Qingxian gave a gentle smile, saying, "Ye Junior Brother, Sister has already mentioned she came to deliver two great opportunities and does not need you to do anything for me. On the contrary, later on, Sister has another great favor to bestow upon you, but I cannot tell you about it for the time being."

After speaking, as if feeling it was not enough, Luo Qingxian continued to add, "Of course, it’s a great favor for you and the ultimate goal for me. Junior Brother just has to grow step by step, and as for the future, we’ll talk about it when the time comes, how about that?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofan felt utterly helpless, yet given the situation, he had no choice but to board Luo Qingxian’s pirate ship inevitably.

"Alright, junior is awaiting the last great favor from Sister," Ye Xiaofan rarely smiled as he spoke, then looked calmly at Luo Qingxian, extending his hand openly, "Sister, since we’ve reached a consensus, how about those other two ’He Yuan Techniques’?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxian smiled and waved her hand gracefully, instantly making two additional volumes of the "He Yuan Technique" appear directly in Ye Xiaofan’s hand.

Placing all three volumes of the "He Yuan Technique" into his Space Ring, Ye Xiaofan quieted down and began examining the remarkable girl before him. After pondering briefly, he said calmly, "As far as I know, back when Sister was at the Spiritual Essence Realm, she had condensed ten Spiritual Essences. I wonder, before stepping into the True Self Realm, how many Spiritual Essence Pearls did Sister fuse?"

Guided by his voice, Luo Qingxian paused slightly but, after pondering for a moment, answered without hesitation, "Five."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofan raised his eyebrows slightly. This claim seemed clearly unconvincing; he couldn’t believe the Divine Sword Sect’s top Quasi-Saintess was merely at this level. Only Luo Qingxian herself likely knows how many she truly fused.

However, he was not particularly interested in such personal matters. His inquiry was mainly to provide himself a comparison when merging.

"Thank you, Sister. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first," Ye Xiaofan stood up and politely bowed to her.

Luo Qingxian responded with a charming smile, signaling him to do as he wished.
