Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 135 Mid-stage of the Sixth Realm

Upon hearing He Jiaxiu and Min Qianyun talk about her, Ning Fusang slightly lifted her eyelids, remaining expressionless and not showing herself.

The two only briefly mentioned this topic and didn't discuss it in depth. He Jiaxiu's voice faded into the distance.

Ning Fusang crossed his arms and gazed into the distance as two elegant, light yellow figures disappeared around the bend in the mountain path.

As Wei Shaoqing walked up the tree, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes when he saw the girl in yellow leaning against the trunk of the osmanthus tree.

How long has she been here?
Wei Shaoqing turned his gaze and looked down the mountain path. In the blink of an eye, He Jiaxiu and Min Qianyun's figures had become as small as osmanthus petals.

Both of them were experts at the fifth level of the martial arts realm, yet they failed to notice the girl's presence.

Having spent so long on the mountain, Wei Shaoqing knew some basic facts. The yellow-clad girl before him possessed a cultivation level superior to both of them.

The Southern Star Sword Sect is indeed a place where hidden talents abound.

Wei Shaoqing snapped out of his reverie and bowed respectfully. Ning Fusang nodded slightly, bypassed the young man, and walked down the mountain path.

Admittedly, she also felt that Wei Shaoqing was not good enough for Li Jinzhen, but what did that have to do with her?

In truth, Senior Sister Jinzhen might not even harbor romantic feelings for Wei Shaoqing. In Ning Fusang's view, Li Jinzhen is clear-headed and sincere; the Qiushuang Sword Sect bringing in Wei Shaoqing cannot corrupt her Dao heart.

Unless the Autumn Frost Sword Sect has another trick up its sleeve.

However, this is not something she needs to consider.

When Ning Fusang went to the Sword Debate Pavilion to register for the Sword Challenge, he encountered Yang Ruo.

The young man, dressed in flowing yellow robes with a jade pendant at his waist, exuded elegance. His clear eyes brightened upon seeing Ning Fusang, and he strode over.

"Junior Sister Ning, you're back alive? That's wonderful!"

Yang Ruo opened her bright eyes and looked Ning Fusang up and down, as if checking if she was missing any limbs.

"I knew it! With the Spirit Bamboo Umbrella I gave you, you'd definitely be able to get out of danger!"

Ning Fusang: "..."

What do you mean she came back alive? Could she have died and floated back?

As for that ancient bamboo umbrella...

Ning Fusang tossed the tattered umbrella back to Yang Ruo: "It's a little damaged. Senior brother, how many spirit stones would it cost to repair it?"

She could also write to Kongyun Temple and ask the young monk for it. After all, she hadn't used the umbrella's defenses at all. Such a large sum of spirit stones couldn't come from her own pocket.

Yang Ruo frowned and asked uncertainly, "Is this really my Spirit Bamboo Ancient Umbrella?"

There were only a few bamboo segments left, and he felt that they would break if he pulled on them.

Ning Fusang nodded and said earnestly, "Senior brother is not mistaken, this is your Spirit Bamboo Ancient Umbrella."

Yang Ruo gave a blank "Oh," his face showing hesitation, and said with a heavy heart, "Given my friendship with my junior sister, talking about spirit stones would be too formal. Junior Sister Ning, you..." Just give me a few thousand spirit stones as a token gesture, that will be fine.

Ning Fusang automatically finished his sentence: "No need for spirit stones, thank you very much, Senior Brother Yang Ruo!"

Yang Ruo was dumbfounded and muttered under her breath, "I never said I wouldn't accept spirit stones..."

Ning Fusang didn't hear it.

Yang Ruo sighed inwardly. Oh well, Junior Sister Ning is quite poor too, so he decided not to ask her for spirit stones. Having comforted himself, Yang Ruo's worries vanished. He wondered where Ning Fusang had gone after so long. Just as he was about to speak, a purple jade light shone in his eyes.

Yang Ruo rubbed her eyes, staring intently at the small sword pendant in Ning Fusang's hand, stammering, "Junior Sister Ning... how did you get the Mirror Flower Water Moon token?"

"You mean this?" Ning Fusang held up the jade pendant, shook it, and a smile curved her lips. "Naturally, it's because I signed up for the Sword Challenge."

"Why are you so surprised, Senior Brother?"

Yang Ruo scratched his head; it would be strange if he wasn't surprised!
To participate in the Sword Challenge, one must be at least a sixth-level cultivator, but Junior Sister Ning was only at the peak of the third level before she went to the Twin Heaven Spirit Realm!
Even though everyone went to the secret realm and broke through their cultivation level after returning, none of them broke through two major cultivation levels at once.

Her cultivation level is almost catching up with his.

Yang Ruo asked, still a little dazed, "Junior Sister Ning, what realm are you in now?"

After absorbing the spiritual energy of the Yanzhishan Desert, Ning Fusang reached the early stage of the sixth level. To heal her injuries, she refined the fruit of the Immortal Wutong Tree, which not only cured her injuries but also allowed her to break through a small realm in her cultivation.

She sighed, "I'm at the mid-stage of the sixth level." I'm almost at the peak.

Yang Ruo's expression was incredibly complex, shifting from shock to bewilderment. Why would someone with mid-stage sixth-level cultivation sigh?

Should I even say "congratulations" to him?

However, in the end, Yang Ruo didn't have a chance to say it. Ning Fusang took the storage bag issued by the Sword Debate Pavilion and invited him to cultivate in Yunling Valley.

When she won the title of leader of the outer sect, one of the rewards the sect gave her was a token that allowed her to visit Yunling Valley three times.

Ning Fusang used one of his two tokens, leaving him with two more. He invited Yang Ruo to Yunling Valley as a small compensation for the loss of the Spirit Bamboo Umbrella.

"Elder Wei."

Yang Ruo greeted the gray-robed elder very politely.

Ning Fusang handed over the token: "Senior Brother Yang Ruo and I will enter the valley together."

Elder Wei raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the girl. This token was a reward for the outer sect leader, and it was the newest one, indicating that the girl had only joined the inner sect two years ago.

She was able to cultivate to the sixth level in such a short time; she is truly a force to be reckoned with!
Elder Wei accepted the token without returning it to Ning Fusang, and then gestured for the two to take out their identity jade tokens.

Two runes disappeared into the identity jade tablets of Yang Ruo and Ning Fusang respectively.

Elder Wei is a rare master of talisman cultivation in the Southern Star Sword Sect, while his senior brother cultivates array cultivation. The great array beneath Cloud Spirit Valley was constructed by the two of them together.

This magic array is repulsive; essentially, it's a teleportation array. Without this rune, cultivators cannot remain on the array. Once they step into the valley, they will be teleported out by the teleportation array below.

The spiritual energy in Cloud Spirit Valley was a bit sparser than when Ning Fusang last visited. It was unclear whether this was due to an increase in disciples cultivating in the valley, or because the underlying spiritual veins had dried up and hadn't been properly maintained.

There are two spiritual veins in Yunling Valley: one is a natural spiritual vein, and the other is created using spiritual stones.

What needs maintenance is that artificially created spiritual vein. Every so often, the Southern Star Sword Sect fills the spiritual vein with a large number of new spirit stones, and sometimes they also mix in a bunch of spiritual plants.

When the spiritual energy of a man-made spiritual vein is abundant, it will nourish the natural spiritual vein to ensure that the natural spiritual vein continues to thrive.

The magic array in the valley can operate continuously throughout the year, entirely thanks to the abundant spiritual energy from the two spiritual veins beneath it.

Beneath a vigorous ancient tree, Shen Tu Lei narrowed his eyes. Why did that pale yellow figure look so much like Ning Fusang?
He knew that Ning Fusang's life lamp hadn't gone out and that she was still alive, but he wasn't sure if she had returned to the sect.

After blinking, white mist rose around them, obscuring the figure in yellow.
