Chapter 155: The Mysterious Expert

"So this is Karma…"

Fairy Liyue hesitated upon hearing this; she truly did not want to separate from Bing Cheng. Even if she and Bing Cheng were only ordinary friends, she still did not want to part ways.

But on the other side was her grandfather, making it a difficult choice.

"I will return after I finish handling matters at the Nine-Finger Sect; it won't take too long," Bing Cheng said. "It will also be a good opportunity to properly keep the Senior from Xuanqing Mountain company."

Bing Cheng naturally understood Fairy Liyue's thoughts and persuaded her.

However, her true plan was not to return here after resolving the affairs of the Nine-Finger Sect, but rather to take He Ruoxi and head toward a more vast world, which was something the two of them had already agreed upon.

"Alright…" Fairy Liyue replied reluctantly before entering the Xuanbing Sect together with Nan Yubin.

"Sister, do you think that female Cultivator still needs to thank us?" Bing Ranxue said mischievously.

"Judging by her style of conduct, she probably won't. We had better not run into her, otherwise, she might ask us for that silver-white crystal."

After saying this, Bing Cheng put her arm around He Ruoxi and teleported toward the direction of the Nine-Finger Sect.

"Sister, that crystal is called ten thousand year mysterious ice. I reckon that expert named her Sect after the mysterious ice to thank it for saving her life."

After Bing Ranxue's Nascent Soul Breakthrough, she awakened many memories from her Legacy, which contained a wealth of information, including that about the ten thousand year mysterious ice.

"ten thousand year mysterious ice, is it? It really has been frozen for ten thousand years," Bing Cheng replied.

Soon, the three women left the Shaxue Mountain Range—no, it should be called the Xuanbing Mountain Range now.

"Sister Cheng, I want to become strong, and then I'll plant a Slave Seal on that woman too!" He Ruoxi suddenly said.

"Then you must Cultivate diligently from now on, Ruoxi." Bing Cheng took out the immortal grade nascent soul cultivation pill she had refined at the Alchemy Competition and stuffed it into He Ruoxi's mouth.

"What is this?" He Ruoxi was instantly startled as she felt such immense spiritual power; a single Medicinal Pill provided a greater boost than her cultivation over the past two months.

"An immortal grade nascent soul cultivation pill," Bing Cheng said calmly.

Bing Ranxue pouted when she saw this. "Sister, I want to eat one too."

"When we return to the Nine-Finger Sect, I will start a furnace to refine pills. By then, there will be more Medicinal Pills than you can ever finish eating." Bing Cheng still had a massive amount of Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine in the Storage Ring she had obtained earlier, more than she could ever use.

Even though ten thousand years had passed, time within the Storage Ring had not changed; those Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine were still as fresh as if they had just been plucked.

"Yay…" Tears of excitement streamed from the corners of Bing Ranxue's mouth.

"What kind of place is the Nine-Finger Sect?" He Ruoxi asked. Although they had been together for so long, she had never heard Bing Cheng talk about her past.

"Sister Cheng, why don't you tell Ruoxi about your past?" He Ruoxi looked at Bing Cheng; she wanted to distract herself so she wouldn't think about her Sect's affairs.

"Hmm…" Bing Cheng also felt the journey was a bit boring, so she simply told He Ruoxi about what had happened to her after her Transmigration.

Of course, there were some important details she could not mention, such as the matters regarding the Old Mystic and her Golden Finger.

"Ah, was Sister Cheng's childhood that miserable?" He Ruoxi was very surprised to hear Bing Cheng say she had to beg to survive as a child, and she felt even more heartache.

He Ruoxi had lived within the mountain gate of Wukong Cave since she was young, pampered like the moon surrounded by stars; even if the lives of other Cultivators in the Wukong Cave territory were difficult, she could not empathize.

But it was different when facing Bing Cheng; she could quickly put herself in Bing Cheng's shoes and walk the path that Bing Cheng had walked.

"Sister Cheng, are you saying you are only twenty-one?" After listening to Bing Cheng's entire story, He Ruoxi was instantly shocked.

A twenty-one-year-old Nascent Soul!

Generally, even top-tier Sects do not have Prodigies with Bing Cheng's speed of progression. For instance, Wuji Jianren of the Wuji Pavilion, who broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of sixty, could be called a favored child of heaven.

And what about Bing Cheng? She was comparable to those Prodigies in super-powered factions.

Moreover, Bing Cheng only started to Cultivate at sixteen, having Cultivated for only five years; even those Prodigies from super-powered factions could not achieve this level.

What made He Ruoxi even more embarrassed was that she was now nearly forty years old, yet she kept calling Bing Cheng "Sister Cheng," and she suddenly felt a bit ashamed.

"Xiao Cheng, I'm older than you, why don't you call me Sister Ruoxi from now on?" He Ruoxi said playfully.

"Hehe… So what if you're older than me? You can't beat me," Bing Cheng chuckled mischievously.

"Besides, you personally admitted to being my sister, so this seniority is already set. Don't look at my young age; in the entire Nine-Finger Sect, except for my Master, everyone else is my Junior. Seniority is not about age."

As Bing Cheng spoke, she thought of the Disciples and Elders in her Sect, all of them affectionately calling her Grand-Aunt-Master.

Although the scene was somewhat comical, it felt heartwarming to think about now.

"Alright then…" He Ruoxi muttered, pouting her little lips.

Blood Spirit Sect. Inside Sect Master Lin Wanxue's residence.

Lin Waner and Sect Master Lin Wanxue sat opposite each other.

Lin Waner had now broken through to the Late Stage of the Golden Core, which could be considered rapid progress.

"Sister, can you please not attack the Nine-Finger Sect…" Lin Waner said weakly, her tone filled with pleading.

"Waner, what exactly did the Nine-Finger Sect do to you? Why do you keep speaking up for them? We! We are family!" Sect Master Lin Wanxue put down the cup of blood in her hand, faintly showing some anger.

She was very dissatisfied with Lin Waner, but Lin Waner was the only relative she had left now.

"Sister… I…" Lin Waner panicked upon seeing Sect Master Lin Wanxue about to lose her temper.

"Say no more. My mind is made up. I am determined to destroy the Nine-Finger Sect; we cannot let the efforts of the Blood Spirit Sect Seniors go to waste!" Sect Master Lin Wanxue said sternly.

"Mm, well said!"

A round of applause suddenly appeared in the room.

The sisters' eyes narrowed, and they both looked toward the direction the sound came from.

They saw a female Cultivator who had appeared in the room at some unknown time. Although her clothing was very plain, her cultivation could not be discerned, and even her face was blurred.

Lin Waner felt this female Cultivator was somewhat familiar, but she could not tell who this existence was.

"Senior, may I ask who you are?" Sect Master Lin Wanxue was greatly alarmed and hurriedly bowed deeply to pay her respects.

"It is not important who this seat is. What is important is that your Blood Spirit Sect must launch a war against the Nine-Finger Sect within one month," the female Cultivator said calmly.

Sect Master Lin Wanxue was startled. Why would an expert get involved in the struggle between two third-rate Sects? However, she had intended to do this anyway.

"Is one month a bit too rushed…" A war between two Sects was no small matter; even though the Nine-Finger Sect was on the decline, they still needed to make sufficient preparations.

"Hm?" The female Cultivator's tone was displeased.

A powerful pressure descended directly upon Sect Master Lin Wanxue, forcing her to kneel on the ground.

"This seat hopes you will do as this seat says. Of course, this seat also knows what you are considering." The female Cultivator casually tossed out several Magic Treasures and many bottles of Medicinal Pills.

The Magic Treasures were all Earth-grade, and the Medicinal Pills were all immortal grade Golden Core cultivation pills.

Instantly, the residence was filled with the alluring fragrance of the Medicinal Pills.

"Your younger sister has good Aptitude, so this seat will take her away."

After the female Cultivator said this, the residence fell into absolute silence.

Sect Master Lin Wanxue felt the powerful pressure vanish; she lay on the floor, panting heavily, looking at the Magic Treasures and Medicinal Pills scattered on the ground.

Her eyes were filled with madness.

"Hahaha… This is Heaven helping me!" Sect Master Lin Wanxue laughed wildly without stopping.
