Chapter 253 Getting what you want

Yunxi raised her hand and took the two communication talismans, opening them one by one.

One message was from True Lord Yu Huo, asking her to come see her at Dan Peak after she finished her seclusion. The other message was from Wei Chenyin, telling Yunxi that she had returned to Fa Peak and asking her to come to Fa Peak when she had time, and to let her know if there was anything she needed.

Yunxi first replied to Wei Chenyin's message talisman, telling her that True Lord Yu Huo wanted to see her and that she would go to Fafeng to see her in an hour. Afterwards, she changed into a personal disciple's robe and left Lingxue Peak.

Yunxi was a frequent visitor to Danfeng, and most of the disciples there had heard of her. So when they saw her, they would politely stop and greet her, and Yunxi would nod in return, showing no arrogance.

After Yunxi reached the summit, she was taken to the Pill Pavilion by a disciple, where True Lord Yu Huo was waiting for her.

After entering the alchemy chamber reserved for True Lord Yu Huo, Yun Xi respectfully bowed and said:

"Yunxi greets Martial Uncle Yu Huo."

The Fire-Controlling True Lord looked at the obedient Yun Xi and said with a smile:

"Yunxi has emerged from seclusion, and her cultivation has improved again."

Yun Xi smiled and replied:

"The sect's Clear Liquid Pool lives up to its reputation; the spiritual energy is so rich that it has liquefied, helping my junior nephew advance his cultivation to the late Golden Core stage."

After hearing this, True Lord Yu Huo laughed heartily and said:

"The Clear Liquid Pool is indeed excellent, but you must have spent a lot of spirit stones and points on it, right?"

Just mentioning this made Yunxi feel a pang of pain in her heart, and she frowned as she said:
"Uncle-Master Yu Huo, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. I still owe the sect 100,000 high-grade spirit stones!"

After saying that, he patted his chest.

Upon hearing this, Yu Huo's smile widened even further:

"Venerable Haoqing is always strict. The spirit stones you owe must have all been absorbed by the Clear Liquid Pool. So stop complaining."

"I understand, but I still feel a little heartbroken."

Yunxi said helplessly.

True Lord Yu Huo nodded and said:
“If your cultivation level improves, the spirit stones won’t have been wasted. The reason I’ve come to you today is to discuss the opening of the new secret realm in Baohua Mountain.”

Upon hearing that it concerned the secret realm, Yunxi immediately straightened her expression and said:
"Uncle-Master, is the secret realm about to open?"

"Yes, the sect has received notification that the secret realm of Baohua Mountain Range will officially open in one month, and each sect can select two hundred disciples to enter."

Of course, this time, it wasn't just cultivators from the western region who entered the secret realm for exploration; there were also disciples from the other four regions. Each region had a quota of eight hundred people, so this exploration of the secret realm could be described as a mixed bag.

The sect leader mentioned to me that you also wanted to participate in this secret realm exploration, so I'm informing you in advance so you can prepare. The sect will likely depart for Baohua Mountain Range in about ten days.

Upon hearing this, Yunxi immediately cupped her hands and said:

"I understand, and I will make preparations as soon as possible."

The Fire-Controlling True Lord instructed:
"The minimum cultivation level required to enter the Baohua Mountain Secret Realm is the Golden Core stage. Your cultivation level is neither the lowest nor the highest, so you should be careful in everything you do. Take out all the treasures that your master has bestowed upon you. Don't be reluctant to use them. Nothing is more important than your life."

Yunxi immediately agreed:

"Yes, Uncle-Master is right."

"This is what I wanted to say. If you were going to other secret realms, I wouldn't need to say anything more. The main reason is that this is a newly opened secret realm, and we don't yet know what dangers it may hold. That's why I specifically sought you out to give you some instructions. Consider this overstepping my bounds." Yun Xi immediately cupped her hands and said:
"It is Yunxi's blessing that her martial uncle can give her guidance. How can this be considered overstepping her bounds? Master is already grateful to you!"

"You have such a sweet tongue, you're just lucky to have Yu Ling."

Taking advantage of the fact that True Lord Yu Huo was in a good mood, Yun Xi asked:
"Uncle Yu Huo, before coming to Dan Peak, I met my cousin Wei Yunqing. She was wearing the robes of a direct disciple and showing off to me, saying that she had successfully become an apprentice. But I saw that she didn't go to Dan Peak. What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on the face of True Lord Yu Huo faded slightly, and he said in a deep voice:
“Wei Yunqing looks down on me, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, as her master, and instead takes Zuoqiu, who is about to become a Deity, as her master. I naturally cannot hinder her bright future, so I will let her go. In any case, she is only a nominal disciple, and it will not make a difference if she is not here.”

Yunxi knew from these words that True Lord Yu Huo was displeased, but she still frowned and said:

“Uncle Yu Huo, it’s not that I look down on my cousin. With her temperament and cultivation speed, she’s already incredibly lucky to have become your disciple. Why would True Monarch Zuoqiu take a liking to her and be willing to have a falling out with you for her sake?”

Lord Yu Huo said with a faint smile:

“Of course there’s something to be gained! Wei Yunqing offered the Enlightenment Fruit he cultivated to Zuoqiu in exchange for the title of his personal disciple.”

Yun Xi frowned and said:
"My elder sister is truly foolish. Giving her the Enlightenment Fruit, such a high-grade spiritual fruit, to refine into pills would have been the wisest choice. She had no need to go to such lengths."

Yunxi paused here, and before the Fire-Controlling True Monarch could ask a question, she continued:

"However, this may also be an arrangement made by the late Wei family patriarch, Wei Nanfeng."

"Oh, if that's how you put it, then I'm not surprised. Back then, Zuoqiu did step in to protect someone, which should be the Wei Nanfeng you mentioned."

Fire-Controlling True Monarch was merely engrossed in alchemy, not oblivious to the world around him. He was aware of some of the major events within the sect, including Wei Nanfeng's plan to offer his cousin to Zuoqiu True Monarch as a concubine. This matter was handled discreetly because it involved a Nascent Soul True Monarch within the sect, but no one expected there to be a follow-up.

Upon hearing this, Yunxi raised an eyebrow, knowing that True Lord Yu Huo must be someone in the know, and continued:
"Before Wei Nanfeng perished, he sent a message to Wei Yunqing, saying that he had found her a master. However, he left in a hurry and did not have time to introduce her to my elder sister. Because of this, she suspected that the clansmen had killed the ancestor and even pointed the finger at me."

Yunxi shook her head as she spoke, looking helpless.

True Lord Yu Huo smiled and said:

"It is Wei Yunqing's own choice to choose who to take as her master. As long as she doesn't regret it, that's fine. Zuo Qiu is not someone to be trifled with."

However, he is indeed only a hair's breadth away from the Nascent Soul stage. This time, obtaining the Enlightenment Fruit should allow him to make a breakthrough. But once you leave the secret realm, your master should have good news.

Hearing this, Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her master successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage, she would still be able to outmaneuver Wei Yunqing. Zuoqiu was much older than her master, and there was a difference between Nascent Soul cultivators.

So she immediately cupped her hands and said:
"I've noted it down, thank you for your trouble, Uncle."

"Alright, you know everything you need to know. Go and prepare!"

"Yes, uncle."

After bowing and thanking her, Yunxi descended Danfeng Peak and then turned to go to Fafeng Peak to see Wei Chenyin.

Having received Yunxi's reply in advance, Wei Chenyin opened the formation of the cave early and waited for Yunxi's arrival.

"Senior Sister Chenyin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Wei Chenyin smiled and waved her hand, saying:
"We didn't have to wait long before we went inside to talk."

After they finished speaking, the two entered the cave. Once the formation was set, Wei Chenyin spoke first:

"Yunxi, did you know that Wei Yunqing has become a disciple of Zuoqiu Zhenjun?"

Yun Xi nodded and said:
“I know, she came to show off the moment I came out of quarantine. I gave her a hard time and got rid of her.”
