Chapter 366 Repaying Karma
Yunxi raised her hand and took the two communication talismans. She opened them one by one. One was from Ancestor Haoyi, asking her to go to the back mountain now. The other was from Feng Jiaqing, telling Yunxi that he had arrived in Haoran City.

Yunxi turned to the Fire Control Peak Master and cupped her hands in greeting:

"Peak Master, the Ancestor summons me for some business."

Yu Huo said with a smile:

"Then go quickly. I'm very satisfied that you stayed in Danfeng for a month. I also need to organize these new prescriptions. Go and get busy."

"Then Yunxi will take her leave."

After saying that, he flashed away and left Danfeng.

Upon entering the secluded cultivation place of Ancestor Haoyi in the back mountain, Yunxi respectfully said:

"Ancestor, is there something you need to tell Yunxi?"

Haoyi nodded and said:

"I need you to make a trip. There's a problem with a Golden Core stage trial realm. It's suspected to be controlled by evil cultivators. Go and investigate, and then deal with those evil cultivators."

After saying that, he tossed Yunxi a jade slip, which contained the location of this secret realm, its anomalies, and the reason why it had been targeted by the Haoran Sect.

After reading it, Yunxi said:
"Ancestor, I'll set off now."

"Okay, stay safe."

"Yes."

After receiving the mission, Yunxi sent a message to her master to report her destination. Before she even left the sect, Yu Ling's message flew over with only two words: "Be careful."

Yun Xi put away the communication talisman and stepped out of the sect. The late-stage Foundation Establishment disciple guarding the gate didn't recognize Yun Xi. The two exchanged a glance and began to communicate telepathically:
"I've never seen this female cultivator before."

"This is the first time I've met him too. He doesn't look very old, but his cultivation level should be above yours or mine."

"A Golden Core Elder?"

"uncertain."

Just then, the two saw Yunxi stop walking and cease transmitting her voice.

Yunxi looked at the somewhat disheveled Zhao Jinmu and asked with a smile:

"Junior Nephew Zhao, have you just returned to your sect after your training?"

Zhao Jinmu never expected to see Wei Yunxi in front of the sect. It had been almost ten years since he last saw her, but he had heard about what had happened to Wei Yunxi.

When he left the sect to search for materials to forge his natal sword, he learned that the other party had been seriously injured and sent to the sect's back mountain to recuperate. He was surprised that the other party had actually emerged from seclusion, so he immediately bowed respectfully and said:
"I've met you, Lord Wei. I heard you were seriously injured, but have you recovered?"

Yun Xi smiled and said:

"You've been nurtured for seven or eight years and only recently emerged from seclusion. I haven't even had a chance to congratulate you on advancing to the Golden Core stage yet."

Zhao Jinmu was somewhat flattered and immediately said:
"I was able to form a core thanks to the cultivation resources that True Lord Wei gave me."

"You deserve that."

Having received the inheritance of the Immortal Healer Sect, Yunxi will never forget that the treasure map was a gift from Zhao Jinmu. Although it was due to circumstances, the cause and effect had already been created, and she has always been thinking about repaying this debt.

She happened to run into them today and asked:
"Junior Nephew Zhao, you have already formed your core. Do you wish to forge your natal sword?"

Zhao Jinmu nodded and said:

"Yes, the purpose of this training trip is to collect materials for forging my natal sword."

"Is there any harvest?"

"I have found two good materials for forging swords, and I plan to come back and melt down the sword I am currently using to reforge it."

Zhao Jinmu spoke frankly, there was nothing to hide. Yun Xi flipped her wrist, and a small jade box and a jade slip appeared in her palm. She pushed them towards Zhao Jinmu, saying:
"I went to the secret realm to train and found a good material for refining weapons. Adding it to your natal sword should improve its grade, so I'm giving it to you."

Take this jade slip to the Refining Peak and find Xi Muran. He is a personal disciple of the Imperial Refining True Monarch and might be able to help you.

Zhao Jinmu had no chance to refuse, so he had to accept Yunxi's gift and then respectfully bow and thank her.

He knew very well that Wei Yunxi did this because she didn't want to owe him any karma, and also because of the fallen Hua Xuanzi. But since she did it openly and honestly, he accepted it without hesitation.

After the two separated, Zhao Jinmu opened the small jade box and glanced at it. His pupils shrank immediately, and he quickly put the item into his storage bag. After taking the jade slip into the sect, he headed straight for the weapon refining peak.

Because Yunxi gave him the thousand-year-old "purple-gold meteorite," this kind of refining material can only be found in the "Five Great Perils" in the Weiyu Realm. The cultivators who can step into the Five Great Perils must reach the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, which is something he doesn't even dare to dream of at his current stage. So he went to the Refining Peak as soon as possible to prepare to refine his natal sword.

Xi Muran was hammering the sword blank when he suddenly sneezed. He quickly and warily looked around, sensing that someone was watching him. Just then, the array outside his weapon-refining room was activated. He waved his hand to open the array and frowned, saying:
"What's the matter?"

The Foundation Establishment disciple respectfully said:
"Uncle-Master Xi, an inner disciple has come to visit you, carrying a visiting card from Ling Xuefeng."

Upon hearing this, Xi Muran immediately said:

"Invite him over."

"Yes."

After meeting Xi Muran, Zhao Jinmu explained his purpose and laid out all the refining materials he had collected.

When Xi Muran saw that small piece of the thousand-year-old "purple-gold meteorite," he knew that the other party was a fellow disciple whom Wei Yunxi valued highly. With a wave of his hand, he took Zhao Jinmu directly to see his master.

Zhao Jinmu entered the exclusive weapon-refining room of the Imperial Refining True Monarch in a daze, stayed there for half a year, and forged his own unique natal sword "Shuoxi", which has both metal and wood attributes. Then he successfully participated in the Five Domains Grand Competition and made a name for himself.

Back to the present, after settling a karmic debt, Yunxi rushed to Haoran City, determined to meet Feng Jiaqing no matter what.

This time, she didn't disturb the Wei family and went directly to the inn where the Feng family was staying.

Yunxi appeared in front of Feng Jiaqing in a flash, greeting him with a smile:

"Uncle, how have you been?"

Feng Jiaqing, who had been sitting, suddenly looked up when he sensed someone entering his room and saw Yun Xi smiling brightly. He immediately stood up and said:
"Yunxi, you've grown taller again. The last time I saw you, you were already at the Core Formation stage. Now, I can't even see through your cultivation level."

"I had some fortuitous opportunities, which allowed me to raise my cultivation to the mid-Nascent Soul stage."

Upon learning of Yunxi's current cultivation level, Feng Jiaqing said "good" three times before frowning and saying:
"Yunxi, I heard from the cultivator who went back to deliver the message from the Wei family that you withstood several Nascent Soul Tribulations for Venerable Yuling, suffered severe injuries, and have been in seclusion in the sect for almost ten years. Is that true?"

"It's a long story."

Feng Jiaqing said solemnly:

"Then let's make a long story short."

"it is good."

Yunxi briefly recounted what had happened, but she didn't mention that Zuoqiu was the one who secretly attacked her, as this matter was currently kept secret within the Haoran Sect.

Feng Jiaqing asked with concern:

"Has that man been caught?"

"Don't worry, Uncle, we've caught him, he can't escape."

"That's good. I was just thinking that the major sects were safe, but I never expected that such a traitor would emerge. It's really..."

Feng Jiaqing shook his head as he spoke.

“Uncle, these are just a few cultivators who cannot resist temptation. That’s why it’s even more important to cultivate your mind during daily cultivation. If you don’t cultivate your mind during cultivation, your Dao heart will be unstable and you will be bewitched by evil cultivators. These bewitched cultivators will not have a good ending.”
