Fellow Daoist Entrusts His Child: Immortality Begins with Nurturing a Demoness

Chapter 71 Fame Comes Unintentionally (3rd and 4th Updates, Please Subscribe~)

"They took in a blockhead, and now they've picked up a rogue cultivator. They're bringing shame to our Treasure Pavilion."

Tuhe groaned like thunder, his muscles bulging like a furnace, indicating he was a beginner in the Blood Burning stage, a foundational cultivator using the benchmark method.

The three of them were not afraid of being laughed at by others and were aggressive, even if their actions would annoy people and affect the reputation of their branch.

They traveled through the night, covering thousands of miles, just to save Li Miaoyun's face.

"What a loud tone."

With the three in power, no one dared to provoke them easily. Just as they were about to press their advantage, a cold, mocking laugh rang in everyone's minds.

Her voice was clear and beautiful, like snow. The temperature inside the pavilion dropped suddenly. Ming Ruoxuelian walked slowly through the snow. Her snow-white face was lightly covered by a thin veil. Her eyebrows were delicate and her eyes were green. Her hair was white and flowing. She was dressed in a light blue snow lotus style, which was elegant and noble.

She walked slowly, and with just a casual glance, the three pavilion masters felt a chill on their foreheads and as if a thousand pounds weighed on their shoulders.

Their teeth were clenched, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and they couldn't muster any thought of resistance.

Why would Fairy Ruoxue attend such a trivial banquet?
"I also think highly of Mo Xue. What, am I a fool too?"

Ming Ruoxue's face was as calm as a still lake, and her voice was gentle, yet it seemed to put the three of them on the hot seat of a fire, their lips trembling as they couldn't utter a single word.

"We dare not. We had no intention of offending the fairy."

The three of them kept their heads down and their lips moved. In the past, when they blocked Li Miaoyun, Ming Ruoxue had never been so attentive.

Fortunately, the head of the five vassal sects they belonged to was also an inner disciple of the Luoshen Pavilion, and was in competition with Ming Ruoxue. They also had some connections with their superiors, so they were not afraid of the other party.

"Fairy Ruoxue, Lady Liu Xia asked me to send her greetings. Our visit is also with Lady Liu Xia's permission."

"Heh, my junior sister?"

Ming Ruoxue's expression was calm, her cold, starry eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Indeed, Lord Liu has been separated from the fairy for a long time and misses her dearly. He would like to find some time to sit and talk with the fairy."

Ming Ruoxue walked calmly past the three of them, who immediately felt a chill run through their bodies, as if their meridians were frozen and stagnant. They barely managed to keep from kneeling down in public by struggling to circulate their qi. As for the disciples they brought with them, they had already prostrated themselves on the ground, their bodies covered in frost.

"Noisy."

Ming Ruoxue didn't stop at all, showing no respect to the three of them. It was unclear whether she was referring to the three pavilion masters or their disciples.

She slowly walked onto the platform, and the surrounding cultivators couldn't help but turn their heads and make way for this fairy to ascend the high platform.

"Mo Xue."

"Yes, goodbye Fairy Ruoxue."

"We've met once before."

Mo Xue is proud and extremely aggressive, but when faced with Ming Ruoxue, who completely overwhelms her, she immediately becomes obedient, lowering her cheeks and appearing somewhat reserved. Ming Ruoxue, on the other hand, calmly nods and raises her eyebrows slightly.

She gathered a wisp of true essence at her fingertips, gently grasped Mo Xue's wrist, and after sensing it for a moment, her green eyes were quite surprised.

"Sword intent is beginning to take shape, not bad. Indeed, she is a hidden gem. Miaoyun has taken in a good disciple."

Ming Ruoxue's usually calm and composed expression rarely showed any approval, and she even patted the girl's head kindly.

"Three years from now, Mo Xue will be my fellow disciple. This is the Qinghe Kasaya, my treasure before I established my foundation. I am giving it to Mo Xue today as my early entry gift as her senior sister."

"Entrance gift?"

The people present looked at each other, dumbfounded. As a prodigy of the Daoist sect, Fairy Ruoxue's words and actions could represent part of the will of the Luoshen Pavilion.

She thinks so highly of Mo Xue, could it be that this girl really has something special about her?
It's too expensive.

All eyes were on her, and Mo Xue's pretty face flushed slightly. She was flattered but also enjoyed being the center of attention.

Can she accept it?

Mo Xue glanced at Master Luo out of the corner of her eye and saw that he seemed a little stunned, but he was the first to come to his senses and nodded slightly to her.

It means that it is acceptable to accept it.

"Thank you so much, fairy, for bestowing this treasure upon me."

Mo Xue took the dress with trembling hands. The dress was as thin as a cicada's wing, yet full of spiritual energy. It had dense and intricate array patterns, indicating that it contained both a spirit-gathering array and a defensive array, allowing for both cultivation and protection.

It is at least a first-grade superior quality garment. Moreover, this garment seems to have special significance for Fairy Ruoxue, and its value cannot be estimated with spirit stones.

She wasn't wearing a precious robe; she was being protected by Fairy Ruoxue. From now on, any villains who want to harm her will have to think twice about the consequences.

"Isn't Sister Ruoxue's gift too expensive?"

Li Miaoyun's pupils dilated slightly; she was also quite startled.

This garment was bestowed upon her by her master, Sister Ruoxue, and accompanied her throughout her Qi Refining stage. It held extraordinary significance, and she did not consider herself worthy of such a gift.

To be honest, it was already a pleasant surprise that Sister Ruoxue was willing to come and oversee things today; it was a great honor for her.

"Miaoyun is very fortunate. Now that you have become my disciple, I can rest assured about your matter."

Ming Ruoxue smiled and nodded, then patted Mo Xue's shoulder approvingly to encourage her. She then glanced at Luo Fanchen out of the corner of her eye and nodded gently to him.

After giving the precious garment away, she once again warned the three pavilion masters with her eyes, then turned and left without lingering.

"Could it be that Mo Xue is a super genius?"

Watching Ming Ruoxue leave, Li Miaoyun's lips trembled slightly, and her breathing became rapid.

Sister Ruoxue has extremely high standards. The junior sister she speaks of will definitely not stop at the outer sect. At the very least, she will be qualified to comprehend the profound chapters and become a personal disciple.

The Qi Refining Level 3 is just a facade. Mo Xue must possess some top-tier talent that she overlooked, which is why she took notice and praised her, concluding that this girl must join the Daoist sect.

"Did I find a treasure?"

Li Miaoyun could not hide her excitement and wished she could end the spirit banquet immediately and take Mo Xue back for proper study.

An unintended consequence might just be the solution to her current predicament.

After Ming Ruoxue left, the spirit banquet proceeded as normal, but the three pavilion masters no longer had any arrogance and shrunk their necks like quails.

"With a master personally nurturing her, Mo Xue is indeed extraordinary."

Yunmo clicked his tongue in amazement, equally delighted that the Pavilion Master had accepted a beloved disciple.

If Mo Xue could join the Luoshen Pavilion, their branch would surely be protected and grow stronger, which would be a great benefit to everyone.

"Mo Xue was a genius from the start."

Luo Fanchen stroked his chin, showing no surprise.

As a prodigy of the Daoist sect, Ming Ruoxue's vision was even higher than that of the Core Formation True Persons of affiliated sects, so she could naturally see through Mo Xue's special physique.

The innate sword-like physique is undoubtedly one of the top-tier physical constitutions, enough to attract the attention of the Daoist sects and draw their focus.

"If Ming Ruoxue can see Mo Xue's physique, can she see mine? What if I'm a genius too?"

Luo Fanchen muttered silently, believing that his physical condition was no worse than Mo Xue's.

But soon he abandoned this unrealistic idea. Firstly, he was not worthy of Fairy Ruoxue's personal investigation, and secondly, she would surely discover the clues about Yimu True Essence.

The disciples of the Luoshen Pavilion, who practice the art of severing emotions, cannot tolerate any imperfections.

When the time comes, tie him up and hand him over to the mystical sect behind the cultivation technique; they won't even have time to cry.

"It's time to let Mo Xue go out and see the real geniuses, and let them see how powerful Mo Xue is."

Luo Fanchen finished speaking with a smile, and to Yun Mo's surprise, he suddenly stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "Congratulations to the Pavilion Master on taking in such a talented disciple. However, since he is a genius chosen by Fairy Ruoxue, we would also like to see your disciple's talent." "I am willing to suppress my cultivation to the third level of Qi Refining and spar with your disciple."

After Luo Fanchen finished speaking, everyone was shocked. They had not expected that someone would cause trouble as soon as Fairy Ruoxue left.

Can't find death?

On stage, Mo Xue blinked her eyes blankly and pointed to herself in a daze.

Me... fight Lord Luo? Hmm... can I just surrender?
Luo Fanchen bowed respectfully, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. If not now, when?

With Fairy Ruoxue's protection, powerful clans and vassals would never easily attack Mo Xue; they would only try to recruit her. Even if Mo Xue became famous, she would not be afraid of being suppressed or harmed by powerful clans. She already possessed the safe conditions to become famous.

He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and finalize the fact that Fairy Ruoxue would become Moxue's backer.

At the same time, it's time for Mo Xue to step out of the sanctuary he created and truly enter the world of cultivation to compete with geniuses.

After the Qingyun Ranking, it's entirely possible that Mo Xue could have a place there.

"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to limit your cultivation to the third level of Qi Refining?"

"I am willing!"

Without hesitation, Luo Fanchen suppressed his cultivation and drew his sword to attack. Mo Xue was still dizzy when she stood on the fighting platform. Of course, she couldn't draw her sword against Master Luo. She was a little nervous and couldn't even hold the sword properly.

It wasn't until she saw Luo Di wink slyly at her that Mo Xue instantly understood Luo Ye's intentions.

She held the sword in reverse, her whole body suddenly becoming sharp. The ground cracked beneath her feet, and the sword arrived like a startled swan. Luo Fanchen hurriedly raised his sword to block, pretending to be outmatched and having his true essence pierced through. He was blasted back more than ten meters and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Huh? My sword hasn't even touched you yet, Master Luo's acting is so fake.

Mo Xue suppressed a laugh, sheathed her sword, and bowed respectfully from afar.

"I concede defeat. As expected of the genius valued by Fairy Ruoxue, I, Ling, congratulate the Pavilion Master on taking on a beloved disciple."

Luo Fanchen got up and wiped the bloodstains from his chest. He clasped his hands and staggered backward. Everyone along the way noticed his Qi Refining Level 6 cultivation and showed strange expressions. They were quite surprised by Mo Xue's combat power.

In their eyes, the sword fight between the two was fast but extremely dangerous. If the Ling surname cultivator had not unleashed his cultivation at the critical moment, he would have died under Mo Xue's sword. Even so, he still suffered some minor injuries.

"Yuan Chun, Qing Ru, Manyun, you all go and spar with Mo Xue for a bit, remember to suppress your cultivation levels."

Seeing that Luo Fanchen had stepped forward, the three pavilion masters naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity.

The three had great confidence in their disciple and were too shameless to care. They casually called out to Mo Xue and decided to use a war of attrition to wear her down. Otherwise, it would only become more and more difficult for them to squeeze out Li Miaoyun in the future.

"Don't use excessive force, understand?"

Yuan Qing secretly reminded the three of them that Mo Xue was someone that Fairy Ruo Xue had chosen.

Their target was Li Miaoyun, not Ruoxue Fairy, nor did they have the ability to cause her any trouble.

"Sigh, if it weren't for the pressure from above, I really wouldn't want to do things this way and embarrass my Jubao Pavilion."

"Li Miaoyun is not someone to be trifled with. Once this matter is settled, our reputation will be ruined, and our sales will likely plummet."

The three pavilion masters silently complained, their brows furrowed with worry.

They were Foundation Establishment cultivators and branch leaders, refined and cultured individuals. How could they act in such a thuggish manner? It was truly shameful.

On the stage, Mo Xue returned to the fighting arena, holding her sword. Her entire body was protected by true energy, making her unstoppable, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

"Golden Essence True Essence?"

Li Miaoyun covered her mouth, unable to hide her surprise. If she remembered correctly, she had just passed on the cultivation technique to Mo Xue yesterday, right?
What on earth is this Golden Essence True Essence that appeared in just one night?

"Yuan Chun, Qi Refining Level 6."

"Qingru, Qi Refining Level 6."

"Man Yun, Body Tempering Level Six".

The three bowed. Yuan Chun was also a young girl, about the same age as Mo Xue. After bowing with her fists clasped, dozens of talismans flew in her hands, ready to be unleashed. She was actually a talisman cultivator.

"Geng Metal Sword Qi—"

Mo Xue returned the greeting, raising her hand to strike with her sword. The speed was so fast that even the talisman cultivator, known for his swift spellcasting, almost couldn't react in time.

Yuan Chun hastily used a water escape talisman to block a sword, but was then suppressed by an impenetrable sword net. Her true energy was being depleted like water, but she also noticed the flaw in Mo Xue's swordsmanship and used a killing move to severely injure her.

Unfortunately, she forgot that this talisman requires the sixth level of Qi Refining to activate, and she was only at the third level of Qi Refining, so how could she use it?

Before she could react, Mo Xue swung her sword backhand with a powerful cleaving motion, the sword light grazing her nose and splitting the jade brick in front of her in two.

"Concession."

Mo Xue sheathed her sword and turned to leave, while Yuan Chun's face turned deathly pale. Just now, she had truly felt the great terror of death, and her mind was momentarily captivated by the killing intent. By the time she came to her senses, she had already lost the duel.

She lowered her head and felt her trouser leg was wet and warm. She was shocked to realize that she had been so frightened by the sword that she had lost control of her bladder. She was so ashamed that she ran to the back garden as if she were fleeing, leaving her master Haiyuan alone, who covered his face in embarrassment.

The remaining two disciples fared no better; both at the third level, they could only withstand ten moves from Mo Xue.

"Concession."

After the third round, Mo Xue's sword tip pressed against Man Yun's neck; with just a little force, she could sever his head.

She sheathed her sword, her gait graceful, and after three battles, not even a speck of dust remained on her clothes.

"At the third level of Qi Refining, his swordsmanship is so fierce."

"Impenetrable and ferocious as a demon, though it still has its flaws and shortcomings, it has reached the pinnacle. This woman's combat intuition is terrifyingly strong."

Her skill astonished everyone present, and the cultivators murmured among themselves, taking the young girl at the third level of Qi Refining seriously.

The personal disciples of the three pavilion masters possess combat strength equivalent to that of the vassal inner disciples. This woman could easily defeat someone of the same level, and conservatively speaking, her combat strength should be around the fourth or even fifth level of Qi Refining.

Moreover, this woman has not revealed her trump card yet, and she is already capable of fighting beyond her level, which must be the combat power that only a Taoist disciple possesses.

"It's a pity that his cultivation level is a bit low."

"If one has a top-grade spiritual root, and further supplemented with rare and precious materials, and makes up for shortcomings with diligence, there is still a possibility of surpassing others later."

Some people clicked their tongues in amazement, while others expressed regret, but they all spontaneously burst into applause.

“Three Pavilion Masters, you flatter me. My beloved disciple possesses a superior-grade Golden Fire spiritual root and is skilled in the art of killing. It is only natural that you are no match for him.”

Li Miaoyun's eyes crinkled into crescents, and Mo Xue really made her proud.

"It really is a high-grade spiritual root?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback, finally confirming that what Fairy Ruoxue said was true. A top-grade spiritual root with such killing power was definitely not just a polite remark.

If Mo Xue can cultivate diligently, she might actually surpass others and become a strong contender in the Ascension to Immortality Conference, and it's not impossible for her to join the Daoist sect.

Those with ulterior motives have already begun to stir, wanting to investigate the girl's background and explore potential investment opportunities.

Even though Mo Xue was too old to join the Taoist sect.

Because of their performance, they will surely be regarded as a gem by the vassal sects with deep roots, and will be nurtured with all their might. In the future, they may even have a chance to form a core. It is always better to befriend them in advance.

"Mo Xue has grown up."

With Yun Mo attending to him, Luo Fanchen wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and looked at the shy yet excited Mo Xue with satisfaction.

The girl who used to cower under his wings and tremble in fear has now gradually made a name for herself and become a true genius cultivator.
