After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

"It's not impossible. However, in theory, powerful monsters rarely live in groups; they are usually solitary."

Although Long Wanyan was wary, she didn't seem to care much from her tone.

Helpless, Xiao Yu had no choice but to explain in a frank tone:

"Senior, cough cough... Actually, besides being a sword cultivator and a martial artist, I am also a fortune teller with some experience."

I calculated that in addition to the Golden Core Realm dragon and the half-dragon in the Core Formation Realm, there is also a Nascent Soul Realm dragon hidden in this deep pool.

If you don't believe me, your name is Long Wanyan, right? There's a... hiss~"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yu's hand, which was holding his calf, tightened, almost breaking his shinbone. He quickly stopped talking.

"You... are quite talented."

Upon hearing this, Long Wanyan paused, glanced down at Xiao Yu, and then continued on her way as if nothing had happened, though a blush crept onto her fair and delicate ears.

During the past few days, she hadn't told him her real name. After all, they were just strangers who had met by chance, and it was uncertain whether they would have any further contact in the future, so why bother telling him her name?

Therefore, Xiao Yu's revelation that he was a fortune teller truly surprised Long Wanyan.

It's not just because the difficulty of the path that fortune tellers cultivate is so high these days, and the path ahead is so difficult that many fortune tellers have switched to other paths, but more importantly, fortune tellers are extremely rare, or rather, fortune tellers who can actually calculate things are extremely rare these days.

Whether Xiao Yu was a fortune teller or not, she had no way of verifying. After all, she was well-known, if not universally, but still had some fame. It wouldn't be surprising if Xiao Yu had seen her portrait and could name her.

However, given the precedent of sword cultivators and martial artists being trained in both, Long Wanyan still leaned towards the possibility that Xiao Yu was also a fortune teller. Moreover, since that deep pool could hide one or two dragons, it was not impossible that it could also hide a Nascent Soul stage dragon.

She believed most of what was said about the Nascent Soul Realm dragon.

"Don't bite off more than you can chew. Your innate flying sword talent is extremely rare. In my opinion, it's not impossible for you to even make it into the top ten of the legendary new generation list."

You should focus wholeheartedly on the path of sword cultivation, instead of messing around with all sorts of things, learning martial arts and fortune-telling at the same time. No one is perfect, and everyone's energy is limited.

Presumably unable to bear seeing Xiao Yu waste his excellent sword cultivation talent, Long Wanyan spoke up to persuade him.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, she had a much longer-term vision than Xiao Yu. What she said was not an exaggeration, but rather somewhat conservative.

After observing him for the past few days, she was almost certain that Xiao Yu had crossed the boundary and mastered the methods that only the Nascent Soul Realm possessed, as evidenced by his use of the moonlight to heal his injuries.

It already touches upon the realm of Dao. You must know how many cultivators in the world are stuck at the Nascent Soul stage.

This is why Nascent Soul cultivators are so rare, and even the Divine Transformation Realm dominates the field.

The Dao is a very mysterious thing. If you don't understand it, even if you reach the end of your lifespan and your life is exhausted, you will not be able to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm. On the other hand, some people break through to the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation Realms in one go, with a terrifying momentum. This is because they have a thorough understanding of their own Dao.

Don't be fooled by the dazzling success of those rising stars... They claim to have broken through to the Golden Core stage at a certain age, or to be the youngest Foundation Establishment cultivator in the world. When it comes to crossing the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage, everyone is treated equally. Just because you're a genius doesn't mean you can get through it easily. If you can't understand it, you simply can't understand it.

It can be said that as long as Xiao Yu does not die young and continues to grow, he will definitely become a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

In smaller places, even a sword cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage can be called a sword immortal.

Thinking of this, Long Wanyan replied almost without hesitation:

"I wonder...would you be willing to join my Qingyun Fu Sect and become my disciple? Don't worry, although my cultivation path is different from yours, I can introduce you to a sword cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage to teach you, and you will not be shortchanged in terms of resources and treatment."

amount……

Xiao Yu was taken aback. Contrary to the plot, Long Wanyan had extended an olive branch to him ahead of time.

Moreover, he wasn't a true disciple, but rather a disciple of Long Wanyan.

The disciples of the sect leader are far more valuable than the true disciples, and are also much closer to Long Wanyan.

Upon closer reflection, he wasn't the main character, and compared to the original plot, Xiao Yu's development of his natal flying sword was far superior to that of the main character.

What's impressive isn't the protagonist's flying sword, but Xiao Yu's own development and understanding of the flying sword.

The Qingyun Floating Sect is a large sect. Just the fact that it has powerful experts at the Refining God Realm makes it much stronger than the weakling sects, the Xuanling Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

Becoming the disciple of the sect leader of such a sect means you'll definitely have excellent treatment. You'll have almost everything you could want. Not to mention spiritual treasures, you'll certainly not lack top-grade spirit stones.

But such thoughts only lingered in Xiao Yu's mind before drifting lightly out of his ears.

"No, senior, thank you for your appreciation, but I already have a sect, and I have a deep affection for it, so I cannot sever ties with it."

Xiao Yu shook his head and refused decisively.

Jumo Island is a good place, with beautiful mountains, clear waters, and kind people. Unlike the outside world, there's no backstabbing or treachery. Xiao Yu plans to spend his whole life on Jumo Island.

Retirement and enjoying life is the best policy. Xiao Yu has a unique perspective and can be said to have avoided decades of detours. Don't you see how many cultivators have accidentally fallen into the Demon Gathering Island and been infected by its mellow atmosphere, never intending to leave?

Moreover, it's even more impossible for him to abandon Bai Yan and leave him alone on the island.

Actually, the best way to win over Xiao Yu is to first persuade Bai Yan.

On this point, Aunt Fox and Gong Wuyao and the others on Jumo Island were well aware of it.

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's reply, Long Wanyan didn't say anything, but suddenly stopped.

Several meters in the air, she supported herself on Xiao Yu with both arms, lowered her head, and quietly looked at Xiao Yu with her bright eyes.

If she lets go, Xiao Yu, in his current weakened state, will be completely unprepared. Falling from such a height would mean he'd be bedridden for several more months.

Xiao Yu also realized this. His body tensed up. Could this woman be planning to throw him down and cripple him just because he refused her request?

Fortunately, Long Wanyan only stared at Xiao Yu's face, her deep gaze seemingly intending to carefully memorize his features.

A smile graced her face, like the first hint of spring after the snow melted, charming and captivating.

"Alright, it's fine if we can't be master and disciple, we can still be friends. My name is Long Wanyan, the current sect leader of Qingyun Fuzong. What about you?"

Xiao Yu remained silent for a few seconds, his brown eyes fixed on her icy, crystal-clear eyes, and replied earnestly:

"Ye Ba, Ye as in maple leaf, Ba as in domineering."

The sound faded, leaving only silence.

Long Wanyan nodded, as if she had taken it to heart.

She glanced down around and said:

"We've arrived. Let's stop here. If we go any further, those beasts will easily spot us."

Chapter Fifty-Two, Half-Dragon Suddenly!

The location Long Wanyan described was a slightly raised hillside. From this angle, one could see a bottomless pool. Soft moonlight shone on the surface of the pool, creating shimmering waves, and the reflected white light revealed another bright moon.

"This deep pool is quite a nice place!"

After examining it carefully, Xiao Yu clicked his tongue in amazement.

He wasn't entirely sure if he could freeze the water's surface to buy a few more breaths, allowing Long Wanyan to quickly kill the Golden Core Realm dragon.

But now take a look.

All he could say was, "It's a sure thing! Everything's a sure thing!"

The deep pool where Long Wanyan mentioned the Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit was located was in a depression. Looking closely at the surrounding environment, it is not difficult to find that this so-called deep pool was actually formed by a heavy object falling from the sky and creating a deep pit filled with water.

As time passed, the water level dropped, revealing the area in the center of the pool where the Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit tree grew.

It is precisely because of this unique terrain that this deep pool, with its dark surface, acts like a large convex lens, gathering the moonlight from the surrounding area, which makes the pool water look sparkling and shimmering.

Perhaps it is because the growth of the Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit requires the essence of the moon contained in the moonlight.

Are dragons allowed to roam freely in water, making it their home turf?

No...it belongs to Xiao Yu now.

"Are you sure?"

They gently placed Xiao Yu in front of a boulder so that he could lean against it and have a better view of what was below.

Strands of hair were tucked behind her ears, and in the night, Long Wanyan's beautiful eyes sparkled. Her pretty face was like a glowing jade, captivating all who looked at her.

A ripple appeared in Xiao Yu's calm eyes. He didn't speak, but simply nodded and made a strange gesture towards Long Wanyan.

Although Long Wanyan didn't understand the meaning of the thumb and forefinger touching, looking at Xiao Yu's confident eyes, she knew that this time it should be a sure thing.

sigh~

Xiao Yu summoned a flying sword as clear as flying snow, its sharp blade pointing directly at the deep pool below. Moonlight shone on the sword, creating a beautiful, glassy effect.

"What a fine sword!" Long Wanyan exclaimed in admiration. Even though she had seen Xiao Yu's natal flying sword before, she was still amazed when she saw it for the first time.

Xiao Yu: ...

Your appearance reflects your heart; someone who possesses such a beautiful flying sword can't be too dark inside.

A snow-white flying sword shot out, its gleaming blade transforming into a ray of moonlight that blended into the moonlight filling the sky.

Seeing this, Long Wanyan also began to meditate on the spot to make up for the depletion of spiritual energy in her dantian during the journey. After all, there might still be a Nascent Soul Realm dragon hidden inside, and she wanted to be in peak condition to meet it.

While she was recovering her spiritual power, Xiao Yu surveyed the surrounding environment of the deep pool.

To be honest, the deep pool in front of him was much larger than he had imagined; it could almost be called a lake, which gave him an idea of ​​how big the pit was.

Speaking of the deep pit in front of him, Xiao Yu recalled a legend about the origin of the Azure Sky Mountains.

Legend has it that the Azure Sky Mountain Range where Xiao Yu and Long Wanyan are currently located was formed from a vertebra of a true dragon that fell to the ground millions of miles long.

Looking at the bright red, glistening Dragon Blood Mystic Fruit on the fruit tree in the center of the pool, Xiao Yu felt that the rumor was quite true.

Otherwise, three dragons wouldn't have gathered in such a small mountain range.

Before long, Long Wanyan finished adjusting her state and opened her sharp eyes. In an instant, Xiao Yu felt a pressure from her that was like that of a real dragon.

In an instant, Long Wanyan quickly concealed her aura. She gripped the pure white spear with one hand, its shaft straight and its tip gleaming with a cold light.

"I'm going... Please be careful."

"Hmm!" Xiao Yu hummed softly in response.

The next moment, Long Wanyan lightly touched the ground with her toes, transforming into a long rainbow that shot straight towards the bright red fruit tree in the center of the pool below.

The war is about to start.

On the distant hillside, Xiao Yu wasn't too worried about his safety. Although he was currently unable to move around easily and could only rely on Long Wanyan to get around, aside from the fact that such a powerful monster wouldn't be around much.

Before leaving, Xiao Yu borrowed several spirit stones from Long Wanyan, exchanged them for points, and used them to exchange for several Qiankun Escape Talismans and a Concealing Breath Talisman through the dog system within his body.
