After Shi’er broke through to the Innate Realm, Meng Chong gave him the saw-toothed blade he had initially brought back to use.
Shi’er was ecstatic and sparred with Zhou Ying every day. Although he hardly won, his strength improved each time, which delighted him greatly.
The Seven-star Study Palace had started offering Dahua Martial Arts courses. A substantial number of martial artists were practicing Dahua Martial Arts, given Xu Yan’s recognized dominance.
In a certain small courtyard.
Du Yuying’s aura was fluctuating, her complexion alternating between red and pale, with droplets of sweat sporadically emerging on her forehead.
After a long while, she opened her eyes and revealed a hint of exhaustion.
Although she had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, she had yet to completely resolve the issues with her body and occasional complications would arise.
“Cough, cough…”
With a gentle cough, the image of a handsome figure surfaced in Du Yuying’s mind, her heart filled with tenderness.
“My body has some defects, stemming from my bloodline. The only way to resolve them completely is to locate that place,” she thought to herself.
The sudden death of her mother was related to this. If Du Yuying could not resolve this bodily defect of hers, she, too, would die suddenly one day.
She was not willing!
That place was a secret location passed down through generations in her mother’s family. If she could locate that place, she could cure her bodily flaws and even acquire some inheritance.
Her initial marriage into the household of Prince Du was an attempt to search for that location, but there had been no news.
On the verge of her mother’s death, the power to search for that location was transferred to her.
“It’s been so many years since my mother started searching. Could it be that the place doesn’t exist?” she sighed in her heart.
Cui’er came running in, exclaiming excitedly, “Miss, there’s news.”
Thrilled by the news, Du Yuying rose to her feet, “Cui’er, prepare a generous gift. I will go meet Young Master Xu.”
“Yes, Miss.” Cui’er replied with excitement and nodded.
Upon arriving at the main hall, a man in grey bowed and paid his respects, “Miss, we have a rough idea of where the location is. It’s within this range. However, it’s difficult to access and carries some risk.”
Du Yuying received the map and examined it carefully, saying, “You’ve worked hard.”
That same day, Du Yuying left the Seven-star Study Palace and headed towards Canglan Island. She did not bring Cui’er or a Protector for this journey. Bringing Cui’er along would inevitably slow her down due to the significant issues related to the location.
Cui’er understood and could only bemoan her lack of strength. She was resolved to exert herself and redouble her training efforts.
An unexpected visitor arrived at Canglan Island.
The visitor was looking for Xu Yan.
“Miss Du, why have you come here? What can I help you with?” Xu Yan asked, looking surprised.
From the first time they met, Du Yuying had greatly improved her skills and had entered the early stages of the Grandmaster Realm.
However, she seemed much weaker than before, and her gallant aura from the beginning was gone. It seemed connected to her health issues, making her appear as weak as someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.
“Young Master Xu, it has been a while.”
Du Yuying showed a shade of shyness.
Li Xuan watched from afar with an odd expression on his face. Was Du Yuying Xu Yan’s fangirl? He couldn’t help but fall into thought. If his apprentice had a fangirl and he, as a master, didn’t even have a maidservant, didn’t that mean he was a failure?
“Has it been that long?”
Xu Yan thought for a while. The time since he had last seen Du Yuying didn’t feel like it was a long time ago at all.
Du Yuying maintained her smile and said, “To you, Young Master Xu, it may not seem long. However, for me, it has been a very long time. This time I come…” She interrupted herself with a cough.
Her face flushed, and she started coughing uncontrollably.
“Miss Du, is there something wrong with your health? Should I call my junior sister to check on you?” Xu Yan offered spontaneously.
He had known about her health problem when escorting her before, and he had thought that she would recover after returning home for some rest. But unexpectedly, even after breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm, her health was still not well.
“No need, I was born with it,” Du Yuying declined, shaking her head.
“Young Master Xu, the reason for my visit today is to request a favor. I would like to ask you to escort me to a certain location,” said Du Yuying, then she produced a bag.
She noticed that Xu Yan had a small pouch hanging from his waist that seemed like a toad, and her heart sank a little. She had been too late to buy a storage bag to give to Young Master Xu.
However, she had prepared a million spirit crystals for this visit.
Xu Yan scratched his head, apologizing, “Miss Du, there are many strong people in your residence who can accompany you. I am a bit tied up.
“I’m not short of spirit crystals, so…”
Yuying’s hand, which was holding the bag, paused. She fell silent all over and suddenly started coughing violently, her face turning red due to the exertion.
“Miss Du…”
Xu Yan was stunned, ‘Miss Du’s body is so fragile.’
“I’m fine!”
Yuying took a few breaths, then stuffed the bag into Xu Yan’s hand, saying: “Young Master Xu, Yuying knows you’re in a difficult position, but I can’t find a more suitable person to accompany me.
“I have some reservations about trusting the strong ones in our house. That place is of great importance and is also where Yuying’s physical defect can be solved.
“Apart from you, I don’t know who else to ask.”
Xu Yan felt difficulty all at once. If it were before, he would readily agree to accept the million spirit crystals and accompany Yuying to that place.
But now, he doesn’t lack money. He no longer has to hustle for spirit crystals and spiritual herbs.
And Yuying is considered his friend now. The first money that he earned when entering the Inner Domain came from accompanying Yuying, and he had killed several grandmasters for it.
He had made a good profit from one spiritual medicine after another.
“Young Master Xu, that place is the Divine Tomb!”
Yuying said in a low voice.
Xu Yan blinked, ‘The Divine Tomb?’
This was such a secret and treasured place, but Yuying hader shared it directly with him — this was trust.
“My reputation precedes me.”
After contemplating for a while, Xu Yan replied, “Alright, I’ll accompany you on this journey.”
He finally understood why Yuying wasn’t asking the strong ones at Prince Du’s mansion to accompany her — even the great grandmasters would betray others for the Divine Tomb.
They could even abandon their own family members.
His cultivation isn’t Inner Realm Martial Arts, so the Divine Tomb won’t attract him as much. It is only out of curiosity.
“Thank you, Young Master Xu!”
Yuying said excitedly.
Li Xuan heard the entire conversation between Xu Yan and Yuyin. Not because he wanted to eavesdrop, but because his strength was so great that their voices automatically entered his ears.
“The Divine Tomb? Interesting. This girl’s physical defect… it reminds me a bit of Su Lingxiu’s.”
With Li Xuan’s discerning eye, he noticed that Yuying had a special physique, or bloodline. However, due to environmental limitations, it resulted in a defect.
It reminded him of Su Lingxiu, whose mother, from the time Su Lingxiu was in her womb, had supplied her with spiritual medicine. Her physique was incomplete and had some flaws, but it did not result in any illness.
Obviously Yuying’s mother didn’t have such a luxury, and possibly had a defect too, which led to Yuying having this condition.
“The Divine Tomb… Things are starting to get interesting in this Inner Domain. There are hidden things unknown to others.”
Li Xuan mumbled inside.
It would also be good for Xu Yan to take a trip there. Perhaps he could gain something and even comprehend the Divine Intent state in cultivation techniques.
“Master, I have to accompany Miss Du to a place.”
Xu Yan came to Li Xuan and said respectfully.
“Okay, then go.”
Li Xuan nodded.
“Master, that place is the Divine Tomb. Will there be any peculiarities?”
After thinking for a bit, Xu Yan asked.
Li Xuan mused for a moment. He thought of the senior Wu who had been possessed before. The biggest danger in the Divine Tomb would naturally be the possibility of an undead martial artist possessing someone who enters.
However, Xu Yan’s Sudden Wind Sword Intent could defend and kill. If a remnant soul wanted to possess him, it would be like seeking death. Even when the remnant soul was at full strength, it would still be suicidal.
Therefore, Xu Yan didn’t need to worry. The one who needed to be careful was Yuying, in case she got possessed.
So Li Xuan said, “When entering the Divine Tomb, be careful of remnant souls possessing you.”
Xu Yan nodded thoughtfully, “Thank you for the reminder, Master, I understand.”
“Hmm!”
Li Xuan nodded.
Xu Yan bid farewell to his parents and sister, while Yuying respectfully bowed to Xu Junhe and his wife, which delighted Mother Xu.
On the same day, Xu Yan and Yuying left Canglan Island, setting off for the Divine Tomb..
