The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

After saying this, Venerable Lingxu's gaze softened, and he carefully examined Jiang Yingxue, as if admiring a piece of unpolished jade. "On the one hand, you possess a single ice-attributed spiritual root, which is an excellent foundation for cultivating the Lanxu Heart Method. On the other hand, when you were cultivating the second level of the Lanxu Heart Method, you were able to break through your own cultivation level in one go, and withstood four thunder tribulations right under my nose. This is not something that ordinary people can do. Besides, you are beautiful and charming, which makes you quite attractive."

Jiang Yingxue felt a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Your Excellency, your praise is too great."

Venerable Lingxu smiled slightly and continued, "So, I helped you a little when you were practicing the third, fourth, and fifth levels of the technique. Otherwise, if you relied on yourself, would you want to break through to the fifth level in three months? Even if you are gifted, it would probably take you more than ten years, or even twenty years to achieve such an achievement."

"No wonder... I was wondering how I could possibly reach the fifth level in just three months..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yingxue immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to Venerable Lingxu: "Junior Jiang Yingxue, the inner disciple of the First Peak of Xianyun Sect, thank you for your guidance!"

"So you are a junior from the First Peak. Not bad, and your attitude is very good. I like you. Please get up first." Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, with a sense of calmness and composure.

Seeing that the other party was in a good mood, Jiang Yingxue stood up and took the opportunity to raise another question: "Then may I ask, Your Excellency, what is the content of the sixth level of the Lanxu technique? As far as I know, even the current leader of the Xianyun Sect has only practiced to the fifth level. And the scroll of the sixth level technique is full of runes that we can't understand..."

"Oh, you mean that?" Venerable Lingxu waved his hand casually, seeming somewhat indifferent. "Those runes, to be honest, I just scribbled them when I was bored. I never actually wrote down the sixth level."

"Why... don't you write?"

"The sixth level requires comprehension. It took me hundreds of years to reach the sixth level. If you ask me to describe it in a few words, I really can't do it."

"Wow, it took you hundreds of years..." Jiang Yingxue asked curiously, "What would happen if you reached the sixth level?"

"If you can master the sixth level of Lanxu Xinfa, you will be invulnerable to swords and spears. Attacks below the late stage of the Mahayana realm will not be able to hurt you at all."

Jiang Yingxue was stunned. How many masters in the late Mahayana stage were there in this world? If one could truly reach the sixth level, wouldn't that simply max out their defense and make them invincible?

Seeing Jiang Yingxue standing there in a daze, Venerable Lingxu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said teasingly, "How about it, little girl? Are you interested? Do you want to learn?"

Jiang Yingxue nodded subconsciously, but she was still a little hesitant: "But you said that it would take hundreds of years to cultivate to the sixth level..."

"Well, I've practiced for hundreds of years and that's my own business. You don't need it!" Venerable Lingxu waved his hand and interrupted her.

"What?" Jiang Yingxue was stunned for a moment, looking at Venerable Lingxu uncertainly, "So... what do you mean?"

Venerable Lingxu lazily leaned against the stone tablet, a sly smile on his face. "Why don't I just pass on my inheritance to you? What do you think I've been staying here for hundreds of years? Just waiting for someone destined to accept my inheritance!"

Jiang Yingxue was overjoyed that such a great opportunity had fallen upon her, but then she became wary. Things were going so smoothly, as if everything had been laid out for her. After a moment's thought, she asked, "But, Venerable... don't most inheritances require some kind of test?"

"A test?" Upon hearing this, Venerable Lingxu couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I've been waiting here for hundreds of years, but I don't have the time to waste time with you youngsters. If you don't want this inheritance, I'll—"

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yingxue immediately knelt on the ground, her tone firm and respectful: "Your Excellency Lingxu! This disciple is willing to accept the inheritance! Thank you for the opportunity!"

Upon seeing this, Venerable Lingxu revealed a satisfied smile and nodded slightly: "That's more like it."

After saying that, she lightly tapped her finger, and Jiang Yingxue felt a ray of hot light flying from the fingertips of Master Lingxu, shooting straight into her brow. In an instant, an incomparably vast power surged into her sea of ​​consciousness. It was the inheritance of the sixth level of the Lanxu Heart Method, which was condensed from Master Lingxu's life's efforts!

As Venerable Lingxu's inheritance completely merged into Jiang Yingxue's sea of ​​consciousness, an immense power seemed to explode within her. Her consciousness instantly entered a boundless world, surrounded by icy blue spiritual energy, like an endless world of ice and snow. This spiritual energy, like a trickle of water, continuously flowed into her dantian, rapidly spreading to every inch of her meridians, skin, and even her bone marrow.

She felt extreme pain in her internal organs, but the next moment she seemed to have merged into the origin of heaven and earth, and every breath she took was drawing the power of heaven and earth.

As this process progressed, her body seemed to be reshaped by spiritual power, and every inch of her skin became tougher, with a faint, cold sheen...

She gritted her teeth and endured until nightfall. At this time, she could clearly feel that her bones had undergone a complete transformation, becoming as hard as iron. Wherever the spiritual power flowed through, it seemed as if countless tiny ice particles shone on her bones.

She took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.

"So this is... the power of the sixth level." Jiang Yingxue whispered to herself.

Venerable Lingxu looked at her with satisfaction, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes: "I was right. It turns out that only a single, top-grade spiritual root of ice attribute can withstand the inheritance. If someone else had inherited my inheritance, they would have exploded and died."

Jiang Yingxue felt a wave of fear after hearing this. The corners of her lips twitched slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Oh, it's nothing, actually. A while ago, a few people came crying and begging to accept my inheritance, so I thought of giving them a chance, but the result... well... it failed... But I think you can do it. After all, I've been observing you for several months, so there will definitely be no problem."

"So I'm a test subject... I'm really lucky..." Jiang Yingxue only then realized that she had just walked through the gates of hell...

Seeing Jiang Yingxue's expression change slightly, the Venerable quickly changed the subject: "Actually, you don't have to worry about the process, let's just look at the result. Now that you've accepted the inheritance, you've finally understood one of my wishes, which is that I have someone to carry on my legacy! You don't know, but for the past three months, people have been looking for you every few days. One of them, Chu Ying, couldn't find you and cried bitterly. I was worried that they would disturb your practice, so I set up a barrier around you to prevent them from finding you."
