Ning Xian sat on the edge of the bed, closing her eyes and sensing for a moment.
She had been too hasty just now, which was why the array had restricted her.
When it came to the laws of space, no one in this realm understood them better than her.
She opened her eyes, and within her left eye, six blood-red Heavy Pupils slowly split open.
The laws of heavenly mechanism combined with the laws of space, and the isolation array of this grand hall instantly transformed into a dense network of lines in her eyes.
She began to deconstruct it.
The core of the array was in the northwest corner.
However, the person who set it up was clearly mediocre, only providing basic isolation without considering that someone might reverse-engineer it from the inside.
Ning Xian's lips curved slightly.
She extended a wisp of the laws of space into the array's gaps, carefully bypassing the trigger-based alert runes, and then located several key points.
She just needed to modify it so it wouldn't affect her.
Directly dismantling it would be discovered, but simply adding a backdoor to make the array recognize her as an insider wouldn't cause any anomalies.
In less than a stick of incense's time, she withdrew her finger.
"Done."
She stood up and casually swiped her hand.
A spatial rift opened before her, without triggering any reaction from the array.
Ning Xian stepped into it.
She needed to go check on her junior brother.
She was a little worried that her junior brother might be tricked by that Lu Zheng.
Although her junior brother was smart, he had just arrived in the Upper Realm and didn't know how cunning the old foxes in these holy lands could be.
What if he was persuaded to sign some contract or agree to some unequal terms...?
She had to keep an eye on him.
Moreover, her junior brother was also very innocent.
Thinking this, her figure vanished into the rift.
.......
Inside the Main Peak Great Hall.
Fang Xuan sat in the guest seat, a small table before him piled with various jade slips and treasures.
Lu Zheng sat in the main seat, a smile on his face.
"These are the basic resources a new disciple should have; take them for now," he said, gesturing to the pile of items on the table.
"Heaven-Earth Stones, pills, cultivation method jade slips, protective artifacts... just trifles."
Fang Xuan glanced at them.
"......."
He looked up at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng was smiling at him, his gaze like that of someone looking at a rare treasure.
"Also," Lu Zheng pulled out another token from his robes.
"This is the restriction barrier token for your dao field. After refining it, the entire floating peak's arrays will be under your control."
Fang Xuan took the token and put it away.
He had already tried to propose many conditions.
For instance, more cultivation resources.
Lu Zheng waved his hand grandly: "Good, hahahaha."
For instance, higher-grade cultivation methods.
Lu Zheng again waved his hand grandly: "Good, hahahaha."
For instance, a few handy artifacts.
Lu Zheng still waved his hand grandly: "Good, hahahaha."
Fang Xuan thought this person was a bit foolish.
But he also took the opportunity to observe.
Lu Zheng genuinely harbored no ill intent towards him; he simply wanted to cultivate a disciple.
And Lu Zheng, for his part, truly believed this.
He had already checked Fang Xuan's bone age — eighteen years old.
Eighteen years old, with two laws.
What did this mean?
It meant no holy land could have laid groundwork in advance, no old monster could have set traps beforehand.
This was an entirely unpolished gem.
Lu Zheng now looked at him as if he were a peerless treasure destined to shock the entire Upper Realm.
He didn't even need to consider backstabbing or espionage.
An unpolished gem, indeed an unpolished gem!
Lu Zheng was overjoyed, but he still maintained the air of a detached expert.
He then remembered something: "Oh right, in a few days, I'll take you to meet the ancestors."
Fang Xuan's eyes slightly darkened.
Lu Zheng explained: "The ancestors are one of the foundations of our Tianxu Holy Land, at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, only one step away from Daluo."
"Having them meet you will make your path in the holy land much smoother in the future."
Fang Xuan nodded.
"Then," Lu Zheng continued, "for the next year, I will fully assist your cultivation, striving to help you completely reach the Golden Immortal realm within a year."
One year, Golden Immortal realm.
Fang Xuan silently calculated.
From True Immortal Level 3 to Golden Immortal, normal cultivation would take several centuries.
Lu Zheng dared to say one year, so he must have a trump card.
Lu Zheng thought further, and then, of course, a year later, the First Heaven would open, and he wanted Fang Xuan to sweep across all directions with an invincible bearing.
And these things, of course, he wouldn't say...
.......
Fang Xuan returned to his floating peak with a pile of resources.
He pushed the door open.
Ning Xian was sitting by the stone table, holding a cup of tea and sipping it in small mouthfuls.
Her face still held a cool and aloof expression, but her eyes were noticeably brighter.
Seeing Fang Xuan enter, she subtly turned her face away, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window.
She definitely hadn't run around.
Nor had she secretly watched her junior brother's meeting with Lu Zheng.
She knew nothing.
Fang Xuan went to the table and dumped all the resources he brought back with a clatter.
Spirit stones, pills, artifacts, jade slips... piled up into a small mountain.
Ning Xian's gaze was instantly drawn to them.
She maintained her cool and aloof expression, but the little sparks in her eyes couldn't be hidden...
Junior brother is indeed amazing.
He's hers to raise.
Hmph.
Fang Xuan sat opposite her and recounted his conversation with Lu Zheng.
"He seems... a bit foolish," Fang Xuan summarized. "He just genuinely wants to cultivate a disciple."
Ning Xian shook her head.
"He wants to obtain more dao-grade holy weapons, or even dao weapons carrying laws, when the First Heaven opens."
The opening of the First Heaven? Fang Xuan nodded thoughtfully.
Then he remembered something and condensed Yunchang from thin air.
"By the way, Senior Sister, what exactly is Yunchang's origin, and what law does it carry?"
Ning Xian shook her head: "I'm not sure either, but it truly has no consciousness."
Fang Xuan sheathed his sword.
No consciousness, then it was purely a weapon.
That's good too.
.......
Fang Xuan continued to think.
So, the next period should be very comfortable.
Lu Zheng would fully assist his cultivation, resources would be sufficient, and Senior Sister would be by his side.
Every day after cultivating, he could be with Senior Sister...
He looked out the window again.
The sky was almost dark.
Ning Xian was holding her teacup, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window.
But her gaze kept secretly glancing at him from the corner of her eye.
Fang Xuan walked up to her and looked down at her.
"Senior Sister."
"Hmm?" Ning Xian looked up.
"It's time for punishment..."
Ning Xian froze for a moment.
But she wasn't afraid. Junior brother's punishment, in the end... would only make her feel more comfortable...
.......
At first, Ning Xian thought so.
Until midway through...
Fang Xuan suddenly remembered something.
He activated the pink light within his body and gently separated a wisp.
Ahem... new uses for the laws of lust...
He slowly injected this wisp of law into Ning Xian's body.
Ning Xian's small head was muddled and unconcerned.
She was already used to her junior brother's torment; what kind of tricks hadn't she seen?
Then—
Fang Xuan made a subtle movement.
"Mmm—!"
Ning Xian instantly sobered up.
This feeling...
She... she had never experienced it before.
Her eyes widened slightly, and tears immediately welled up.
"N-no... this isn't right..." Her hands tried to push Fang Xuan away, but they trembled uncontrollably, completely unable to exert any force.
Fang Xuan looked at her reaction and was also stunned.
The effect... was this good?
He tentatively made another subtle movement.
"Ah ha...!" Ning Xian's cry burst out directly. "N-no... please... Junior Brother, I beg you..."
He looked at his senior sister, who was already crying into a tearful mess below him, yet trembling all over due to extreme sensitivity, and suddenly felt a bit of pity.
But...
"Senior Sister, didn't you say you weren't afraid just now?" he asked softly.
Ning Xian bit her lower lip, unable to speak.
This feeling was too terrifying...
"Senior Sister."
"Mmm... mmm?" Ning Xian's voice was trembling.
"This is just the beginning."
Ning Xian's tears welled up again.
.......
The sounds of crying from inside the room were intermittent and never stopped.
