Chapter 405 Repairing Hidden Wounds
Dian Dian accepted Yun Xi's caresses, her black bean eyes darting around as she said:

"Master, do you think that evil cultivator you captured deliberately surrendered so that he could pull off a big heist after returning to his sect?"

Yunxi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes after hearing Dian Dian's words. Perhaps it was really possible. Given the evil cultivator's hatred for her, he might actually use this suicidal method to take her down with him.

“What you said makes a lot of sense. Those evil cultivators hiding in the gutter are too well hidden, so the righteous cultivators can’t find any trace of them. Therefore, they are very confident that even if they fail when they attack me, I will not kill them on the spot.”

For the sake of the bigger picture, I will only bring him back to the sect for interrogation. This will give them an opportunity to cause trouble, and I have already made a deduction about how that Nascent Soul cultivator self-destructed while sealed.”

After recovering from her injuries, she kept thinking about this matter and had some clues. However, she was still unsure and planned to see her master to see if her speculation matched the facts.

When Dian Dian heard Yun Xi praise it, it wagged its tail proudly and then asked:
"Master, how did that evil cultivator manage to evade your seal?"

"I did seal him away back then, but what I sealed away was the real Xin Qiu Sword."

"Huh? Wasn't Xin Qiujian already possessed by him? How come the master sealed his soul?"

"That's what the evil cultivator said himself. Xin Qiujian's soul shouldn't have been completely devoured. He preserved a part of Xin Qiujian's soul to deal with that situation at the time, or to die in his place."

"I see. How then can the master prove your guess?"

Dian Dian continued to ask.

"Just ask Xun Kun. The fact that Xin Qiujian's possession went undetected proves that the soul lamp he left in the Kunmo Sect was still burning. With his Nascent Soul self-destructing this time, he must have died completely, and the soul lamp must have gone out. Checking the time when the soul lamp went out will prove my theory."

"Master is so clever!"

Here's a compliment from DianDian.

Yunxi shook her head and said:

"In the end, it was my carelessness that caused this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so badly injured. These evil cultivators are becoming more and more troublesome, and their methods for dealing with me are endless."

After saying that, she looked up at the sky and felt that she had suppressed Wei Yunqing too much, and that "the way of heaven" was inhibiting her growth.

Seeing that its owner was in a bad mood, Dian Dian changed the subject:
"Master, Zhu Sheng has woken up!"

"Zhu Sheng?"

Yunxi murmured something, then remembered the Tear-Stained Bamboo she had brought out from the secret realm, and asked:

"It has advanced?"

"Yes, Zhu Sheng absorbed the bamboo sap left to him by his ancestor, and it is now a second-tier spirit bamboo. He also asked me to give this to the master, saying it was a thank-you gift for taking it out of the secret realm."

After saying that, Dian Dian opened her mouth and spat out a section of bamboo tube.

After Yunxi inhaled it, she scanned it with her divine sense and knew that what Zhu Sheng had given her was a good thing. It should be the bamboo sap that the Soul-Devouring Bamboo left to its descendants before it was corrupted. This is the essence of the old bamboo and the purest wood-type spiritual liquid.

"I really like this gift. Please keep an eye on Zhusheng in the future."

"Okay, master."

Yunxi held the bamboo tube and pondered for a while before asking Diandian to check on Xiao Lei. Then she returned to the cultivation room.

After sitting cross-legged on the futon, Yunxi drank the bamboo sap without hesitation, then guided the pure wood-elemental spiritual energy to flow through every meridian in her body. Yunxi knew her own situation well; although her advancement speed was not slow, she had suffered many injuries, and quite frequently at that. Although she had recovered from them all, she inevitably suffered some hidden injuries.

These hidden injuries are invisible to the divine sense, yet they are real. Therefore, the bamboo sap, rich in wood-based healing power, appeared just in time. She didn't want to stop at the Nascent Soul stage, so some hidden dangers needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

The bamboo sap did not disappoint Yunxi's expectations. After entering her meridians, it diligently released the pure wood spiritual power it contained to repair her hidden injuries. The warm and gentle power made Yunxi feel completely relaxed.

With the healing of her hidden injuries, Yunxi's cultivation, which had been maintained at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage, could no longer be suppressed. With the help of pure wood spiritual power, she successfully broke through to the late-Nascent Soul stage.

The icy spiritual energy from Lingxue Peak instantly surged into Yunxi's courtyard, rushing into her body and widening her meridians once again. Under the guidance of the "Bright Moon Frost Condensation Technique," it was refined, and finally, the pure spiritual energy flowed into her dantian and was inhaled by the little nascent soul sitting on the lotus phantom. The miniature Yunxi visibly gained weight.

When Yunxi opened her eyes again, a month had passed. The feeling of being full of energy made her feel fulfilled. After taking care of herself, she left the cultivation room.

Dian Dian had been waiting impatiently. Seeing Yun Xi emerge from seclusion, she leaped into her arms, her beady black eyes practically disappearing with joy. She excitedly transmitted her voice:
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! Your cultivation has improved once again."

Yunxi pinched and rubbed the dots in her hand, and said with a smile:

"You're so sweet-talking. Nothing happened during my seclusion, right?"

"Don't worry, Master. Lingxue Peak has always been sparsely populated and free of all sorts of trouble. Even Xiao Lei is focused on cultivation. Master Yu Ling came to the courtyard to check on you when you broke through, and left after confirming that you were alright."

Yunxi nodded and then flashed away from Lingxue Peak to see her master.

Yu Ling was reading the message jade slip in his hand when the honeycomb jade pendant at his waist vibrated twice. He glanced at it briefly, then said to the cultivator standing beside him:

"Let Ranxi in."

A moment later, Yunxi met Venerable Yuling and respectfully bowed, saying:

"Ranxi greets Master."

Yu Ling put down the jade slip in her hand, and a faint smile appeared on her usually cold face, giving people a feeling of ice and snow melting, which made the cultivators next to her take a second look.

Yu Ling waved for the other party to step back before speaking:

"Ranxi, did you just come out of seclusion?"

"Yes, Master. This disciple is eager to participate in the Five Regions Grand Competition. I will come out of seclusion as soon as I have consolidated my cultivation."

Yu Ling then spoke slowly:
"You've turned misfortune into blessing and broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage. It's best to hone your skills at this stage for a while longer and not rush to break through again."

Yunxi had already obediently sat at the jade table for guests, diligently pouring tea for Venerable Yuling, and replying:

"Master, rest assured, even if you urge me to break through, I intend to take more time to consolidate my knowledge. I feel that I still have many shortcomings and much more to learn. I will not consider breaking through for at least a hundred years."

Of course, if the situation forces one to change things, that's a different story.

Yunxi could only say these words to herself.

Looking back at her several advancements and breakthroughs, each one was fraught with different dangers. She is now overcoming one obstacle after another, striving to fight against the "Heavenly Dao." It's only because she has a good mentality that she has collapsed long ago.

Yu Ling glanced at Yun Xi, who was feigning innocence, a faint smile curving her lips. She took a sip of her spiritual tea and said:
"During your seclusion, news came from the Kunmo Sect that they had captured a group of deeply hidden Fallen Demon cultivators through Xin Qiujian, causing a period of great anxiety in the Southern Region."

　See you tomorrow~
