Maybe I shouldn't die.

But she didn't notice anything wrong until her master arranged accommodation for her - the room was right next to her master's.

She couldn't help but wonder if she was overthinking.

What accidents could happen when living with the sect's great master? The great master was willing to keep her by his side and protect her, so she should be grateful. How could she be suspicious just because of the pitying look in her uncle's eyes?

Maybe she was just seeing things. After all, the light was against her, so it was normal to feel a little dizzy.

But this thought did not last for a few hours.

After saying goodbye to her master, she went back to her room. She had completed today's daily routine and had just come out of retreat. She didn't want to practice right away, so she took out a jade slip and started to organize it.

During the year of seclusion, she had finished reading all the miscellaneous books and travel notes she brought out from the sect, and now she was organizing her notes.

Although they were all miscellaneous books and travel notes, they contained a lot of useful information. For example, the source of the Crystal of Vitality that she had been looking for for a long time was also found with some clues in the autobiography of a senior.

This senior, whose pen name is Fu Sheng Yi Meng, wrote in a passage in his autobiography,

One day, I was ambushed by a villain and seriously injured.

While escaping, he accidentally entered a secret place.

There is no life in the secret realm, except for an altar in the center.

The altar is dilapidated, but intact.

I tried to activate it several times, but to no avail.

Then gave up.

There was no one in the secret realm, and I stayed here to recuperate for several months.

However, the root of the disease is damaged and cannot be healed on its own.

Until one day the moon shines brightly,

A phantom appears above the altar.

I was overjoyed and went forward to talk to him.

He calls himself Bihua, and is the spirit of the Jade Green Vine. Guided by the Heaven, he has been stationed here, waiting for the right person to arrive, for tens of thousands of years.

I was surprised and delighted at first. The jade vine, one of the ancient spiritual plants, was full of life.

It is also one of the ancient spiritual plants that disappeared in the demonic calamity.

This is my chance.

But as he said, I am not the one destined to be with you.

Although I felt lost, I was relieved immediately.

There are countless opportunities in the world, and I don’t know how many opportunities are not mine, so I can’t force it.

Then chat with him all night.

Until dawn, the phantom disappeared.

I was surprised to find that my injuries had healed.

Later he came out of the secret realm and killed the villain with his own hands.

I record this to warn future generations.

Opportunities cannot be forced, just let it be, and who knows if there will be unexpected twists and turns?

Just like him, although not destined to be with you,

But being saved by the seniors was also an opportunity for him.

After seeing the ancient spiritual plant Jade Green Ivy mentioned in this record, which showed signs of life, Fang Yue felt her heart moving slightly.

She had seen the name Jade Green Ivy in the Records of Ancient Spiritual Plants, but that book only recorded the name, saying only that this spiritual plant was one of the ancient spiritual plants that disappeared during the demonic calamity.

However, in the ancient records of spiritual plants, there were too many spiritual plants that were only recorded by their names, so she could only write down the names of these spiritual plants temporarily and wait for a chance to look for detailed information one by one in the future.

But information about ancient spiritual plants was hard to find, and she hadn’t been able to find even a few until she left the sect.

After leaving the sect and losing the virtual library, she became even less able to look for information.

Unexpectedly, I found this clue by chance among the miscellaneous books I borrowed to kill time.

She paid special attention to memorizing the name of the spiritual plant, as well as the small secret place mentioned by the senior in the book.

If she had the chance, she might go explore that secret place.

It was already late at night when Fang Yue finished sorting out the information, so she put away the jade slip and lay down to rest.

A dreamless night.

But before the puppet's alarm clock rang.

"boom……"

"Crackle... crash... crash..."

She was awakened by a loud roar and the sound of houses collapsing.

At that moment, Fang Yue felt that the whole room was shaking. Countless dust and debris fell from the roof, but were separated by the defensive formation she had set up.

She became alert instantly and subconsciously took out the talisman gun from her storage bracelet.

What happened?

Could it be that an enemy wanted to capture him, was discovered by the master, and a fight started?

The enemy found the sect’s stronghold so quickly?

So should she go out now or not? If she doesn’t go out, she won’t be able to see or understand the situation outside.

If she goes out, what if the monster finds her and comes to catch her?

With her level of cultivation, wouldn't she be causing trouble for the master if she went out?

After hesitating for a while, she decided to wait and see.

But after that, there was no more noise from outside.

It was as if the roar and the sound of the house collapsing that she had heard before were all illusions.

Fang Yue couldn't help but feel even more uneasy.

Why is there no movement?

Were all the enemies who came to capture him captured by the master?

I recalled the heroic appearance of my master who fought ten people alone yesterday.

It doesn't seem impossible.

So should she wait for the master to come find her or go out?

After hesitating for a moment and seeing that there was still no movement outside, Fang Yue decided to go out and take a look.

But if you want to go out, you can't just walk out like that.

She took out the small talisman cannon that she had used yesterday, and also took out the defensive jade token that would automatically activate when attacked and hung it around her waist.

After doing all this, she pushed open the door and carefully stuck her head out to check the situation outside.

Contrary to her expectations, there were no men in black outside, nor was there any sign of her uncle.

The defensive formation outside the courtyard was still intact and did not look like it had been damaged.

Since the defensive formation was not destroyed, it should not be an enemy attack as she thought.

Fang Yue couldn't help but feel relieved a little.

But when I turned around and looked in another direction, I found that there was indeed a house collapsed on the left side of the yard, and smoke and dust had fallen.

She could clearly see the broken walls and the stone tiles scattered on the ground.

But her vision was limited and she couldn't see the whole picture.

Fang Yue considered whether or not to send out his spiritual sense to check.

But after thinking about it, I rejected this idea.

The collapsed house made her feel relieved again.

The materials used by the cultivation world to build houses are all spiritual materials, so they are naturally easy to collapse.

The only option is to have enemies appear.

It couldn't be that the master himself collapsed it.

Fang Yue shook her head. It couldn't be that the master was pounding the house for fun!

Otherwise, she couldn't imagine how her master, a physical cultivator, could collapse the house.

Thinking of this, she cast an invisibility talisman on herself, then walked out carefully carrying the talisman cannon.

Although this invisibility talisman is most likely useless against Nascent Soul cultivators.

But it’s better to use it than not to use it.

However, after she saw the entire collapsed ruins, she could not help but remain silent.

There was a circular open space in the center of the collapsed ruins.

It must be that when the house collapsed, that area was protected, which is why it looks so clean.

And isn’t the person sitting in the open space Master Kong?

She was holding a pitch-black object the size of an egg in her hand and studying it, her face full of confusion and puzzlement.

There is a huge alchemy furnace in front of him, with a blazing spiritual fire underneath.

Even if Fang Yue didn't know how to make pills, she could clearly tell from this scene.

There were no men in black, and no fighting. The loud noise and the collapse of the house were all caused by Master Kong's alchemy.

Remembering the roar and the shaking of the house that had initially woken her.

Isn't that just the sound of a furnace exploding?
