Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Time flies, and another seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Yunzhi said she wanted to rest for one night, but she didn't leave after seven days.

She stayed at Dengtian Gate, helping Senior Sister Lan with all the chores, farming, cooking, and catching pheasants, but she just refused to leave.

Lu Xunhuan was too lazy to ask her, and he still sat at the mountain gate every day, quietly practicing sword or cultivating immortality.

The last time Qiao Yunzhi came to Dengtianmen, she was obsessed with personal gain, which left a deep impression on him.

Lu Xunhuan knew very well what she had in mind when she came this time.

It was almost dusk again. At the mountain gate, Lu Xunhuan opened his eyes from his quiet practice, and then he stood up.

On the hill behind, Qiao Yunzhi and Senior Sister Lan were hiding in the bushes and chatting in low voices. When they saw Lu Xunhuan stand up, they stopped talking.

Senior Sister Lan said, "I'm afraid someone else is coming."

After a while, a woman in black climbed the stone steps and walked towards the mountain gate.

She bowed to Lu Xunhuan and said, "I have come to pay my respects to your sect's headmaster, Lu. Please inform him."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Which sect?"

The woman replied, "It's inconvenient to tell you. I will reveal my identity when I meet Sect Leader Lu."

Lu Xun Huan said, "The Sect Leader has instructed that if you want to see him, you must defeat me first."

The woman in black looked him up and down and asked, "Could it be that you are Sect Leader Lu?"

Lu Xunhuan shook his head: "I'm not."

The woman in black slowly drew her sword: "Well, let me teach you a few moves."

On the mountain behind, Senior Sister Lan was a little nervous: "That woman looks quite extraordinary. I wonder if he can hold her off. If things go wrong, be ready to assist at any time."

At the mountain gate, Lu Xunhuan followed the woman and slowly drew his sword: "Please."

The woman said "Excuse me", and with her long sword, she raised a thousand sword flowers and went towards Lu Xunhuan.

The sound of "ding ding dang dang" immediately rang out violently at the mountain gate.

Amidst the dazzling sword flowers, human figures were flying.

After twenty moves, the woman shouted "Stop" and drew her sword back.

Lu Xunhuan stopped and understood.

The strength of this woman in black is much higher than that of the man seven days ago, and should be on par with him.

In terms of strength, I am afraid he is also at the ninth level of Qinxin realm.

In terms of swordsmanship, the woman's swordsmanship is not bad at all.

In other words, the woman may come from a large sect or a powerful organization.

The woman sheathed her sword and said, "Master Lu, is there a quiet place where I can talk to you?"

Lu Xun Huan also sheathed his sword: "It's not convenient for us to go to a deserted place alone. Let's talk here."

The woman looked towards the hill ahead and said, "There are people on the hill behind you."

Lu Xun Huan glanced back and said, "They are fellow disciples, one of us."

The woman shook her head slightly: "No, no one can hear it."

Lu Xunhuan gestured with his hand, "Then please go back."

The woman frowned slightly: "Master Lu, you don't even know where I came from, and you don't even know why I came to talk to you, and you just casually send me away like that?"

Lu Xunhuan looked towards the distant mountains: "It's getting dark, let's hurry up."

The woman's eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness. She asked, "Can I take a few steps forward?"

Lu Xun Huan put his hands behind his back: "Whatever you want."

The woman took a few steps forward and stopped three feet away from Lu Xunhuan.

She glanced at the hilltop behind Lu Xunhuan again, then whispered, "The higher-ups have heard about your bandit suppression efforts, and they're quite impressed. They'd like to recruit you into their organization. Are you willing?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, I have no intention of leaving the sect for the time being."

The woman said, "Joining the organization doesn't require you to leave the sect. You'll just be given tasks from time to time, and you can complete them."

Lu Xunhuan smiled faintly: "After all this talk, I still don't know what organization you are."

The woman moved her head closer to him and whispered, "Shenlong Pavilion."

After hearing this, Lu Xun Huan looked towards the distant mountains at sunset. "The Immortal Friends Association is an immortal organization that manages the affairs of the immortals. What about you? Who are you helping?"

The woman replied, "We will be wherever we are needed."

Lu Xunhuan smiled: "Really? It just so happens that the sect has a pile of clothes that need to be washed. Could you help wash them?"

The woman's expression changed and there was anger in her eyes.

But she suppressed her anger and said, "Lu Xunhuan, I'm talking about the big things, not those trivial matters. If you don't want to join, I won't force you, but please don't insult the Shenlong Pavilion, otherwise, you and your sect will be in big trouble."

Lu Xun Huan sat down cross-legged on the spot: "You go back first. Let me think about it for a month and then give you an answer."

The woman turned around and said, "Goodbye."

After saying that, she flew away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After a while, Senior Sister Lan and Qiao Yunzhi arrived at the mountain gate.

Senior Sister Lan asked, "Who is it? Where are you from?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "A wealthy family in Zhongzhou City has hired me as a security guard."

Senior Sister Lan scoffed, "Tsk, that's hilarious! Dengtianmen is a sect of immortals after all, but they're asking our leader to be their guard. What are they thinking?"

Lu Xunhuan corrected him, "It's the captain of the guard."

Senior Sister Lan said arrogantly, "That won't do either. What kind of idiot rich people are they? Just having money is so great! Tell them to get lost as far away as possible."

Lu Xun Huan turned his head and looked at her: "It's almost dark, you haven't eaten yet, go back and eat."

He stood up and said, "I will return to the main hall tonight."

The three of them left the mountain gate and walked back a short distance. Lu Xunhuan said to Qiao Yunzhi, "Sister Qiao, it's time for you to go back."

Qiao Yunzhi asked, "Did that woman just now really come from a wealthy family?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Let's not talk about her, let's talk about you. You are not a disciple of my sect. What are you doing here? Go back to Zhongzhou tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Qiao Yunzhi did not reply, but just sighed in her heart.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. In the hall, Lu Xunhuan closed the door tightly.

He took out the peach blossom fan, opened it, and summoned the female ghost master.

As soon as the female ghost master came out, she asked him about the situation as usual: "Good disciple, have you made any progress?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "My swordsmanship has improved somewhat, but... Alas, Master, why can't I feel it?"

The ghost girl's master was also somewhat bewildered. "Based on your rate of progress, you're clearly a genius in cultivation. How come you've made no progress at all since breaking through from the Qin Heart Realm to the Soaring Cloud Realm?"

She drifted back and forth and said, "Disciple, are you not calming down?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "I'm calm, Master. No one is disturbing me, and I'm not having any random thoughts. But I just can't grasp the feeling you mentioned."

The female ghost master stopped floating: "Don't be impatient, calm down and comprehend."

Lu Xunhuan shook his head slightly: "No, Master, if I don't make progress..."

He suddenly asked the ghost girl master, "By the way, Master, have you heard of the Shenlong Pavilion?"

The ghost girl master asked, "Why, are the people from the Shenlong Pavilion causing you trouble?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "Today, someone from the Shenlong Pavilion came and invited me to join them. I sparred with her and found we were equally strong."

The ghost girl's master pondered and said, "The Dragon Pavilion is very mysterious. It's not the Immortal Friends Association, nor is it a royal organization. Until we understand the good and evil, we must remain vigilant against it."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Disciple knows to be vigilant, but if I don't make progress... I still have a sect to protect behind me, and I feel pressured..."

The female ghost master was silent for a while, then said, "I admire your sense of responsibility towards the sect. If you want to try that method, go ahead. The entrance to the Nine-Story Demon Tower is within Zhongzhou. As long as you are an immortal cultivator and have signed a life and death agreement, you will be allowed to enter."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Are you still signing a life and death agreement?"

The ghost girl master said, "Yes, after signing the life and death agreement, they can be irresponsible, so that no one will cause trouble to the guard camp in the future."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Oh, disciple understands."

The ghost girl master said, "With your strength, you can only go to the first floor of the Demon Tower. Once you are there, don't rush to fight the monsters. Wait slowly until the dragon and the phoenix appear. You can choose the dragon or the phoenix."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Why do you have to pick the dragon and the phoenix?"

The female ghost master said, "The inner elixir of dragon and phoenix is ​​the purest, with fewer side effects and a relatively higher chance of success. Immortal cultivators in the world who have to hunt for the inner elixir of demon beasts will most likely choose dragon and phoenix."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "If we all choose the dragon and the phoenix, and kill them all, then there won't be any more choices left."

The ghost girl's master shook her head and said, "The Nine-story Demon Tower is a world of its own. It's very wonderful. To us, it's a demon-suppressing tower, but to the demon beasts, it's a vast and boundless world where they can roam freely."

After hearing what he said, Lu Xunhuan roughly understood.

He said to himself, "It's like aliens looking at Earth. What Earthlings think of as a free world is nothing more than a cage in the eyes of aliens."

The ghost girl asked, "What are you mumbling about? What about Earth? What about aliens?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "Nothing, Master. Is this the only entrance to the Nine-story Demon Tower?"

The ghost girl master said: "The only entrance to the Zhou Dynasty Empire is within Zhongzhou Prefecture. The four countries surrounding the Zhou Dynasty Empire also have one and only one entrance each."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Disciple understands."
