Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 502 World Nine 12

Seeing the Empress's expectant eyes, Yin Yin decided to open it in front of her.

Yinyin was somewhat surprised when she saw what was inside the jade box.

Because inside the box was a crystal-clear ice lotus.

Although it is not winter, the crystal-clear ice lotus is still in full bloom and is well preserved in the jade box.

Yinyin closed the box and hugged the Empress.

"This ice lotus is hard to come by, Mother. You must have put in a lot of effort. Thank you!"

The Empress only had one daughter, Yin Yin. Although she was not by her side for many years, she often corresponded with her and knew that Yin Yin spoke her mind directly and did not hide anything from her.

The Empress liked her innocence and thoughtfulness, and couldn't help but think of her even more: "If you can use it, then all the effort I spent searching for it won't have been in vain."

The chiming clock that Yin Yin had sent rang out crisply, reminding the Empress that it was time for Yin Yin to leave.

Even though she was reluctant, she still urged Yin Yin, "Don't keep the Venerable Ones waiting."

Yinyin nodded, snuggled in her mother's arms for a while, and then kissed her mother's face: "Mom, I'll find another chance to come back and see you next time!"

The Empress wanted to stick to her own ideas and have Yin Yin come back less often, but with her lively and energetic daughter right in front of her, she found it hard to say it.

Yinyin released the rocking horse, waved goodbye to her, and then turned off the invisibility spell before leaving a short while later.

After Yin Yin left the palace and set off again with her master and senior brothers, the emperor and the crown prince arrived late.

Upon learning that Yin Yin had left, the emperor was somewhat displeased. However, when he learned that His Excellency was still waiting, he changed his mind and said that he had some business to attend to in court.

This scene was deliberately created by the Empress, so of course she wouldn't say anything negative. She simply mentioned Yin Yin's concern for them and then moved on.

Once outside the capital city, Yin Yin told her master and senior brother about the ice lotus that the Empress had given her.

"Master, can I use this ice lotus now?"

“It can be used, but taking it now would be a waste,” Ruoshui suppressed her thoughts. “The place where the Ice Lotus grows is also suitable for cultivating the Ice Spirit Root, but it is very difficult to find.”

"Once you cultivate to the Golden Core stage, and then use this flower to find a suitable place, won't your progress be much greater than if you only used the flower?"

If anyone else heard Ruoshui say this, they would probably laugh their heads off.

The Golden Elixir is not something that can be achieved so easily. Many people spend their entire lives only to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. If one obtains rare and precious materials, one should use them first to maximize their benefits.

However, Yin Yin readily agreed, carefully put away the jade box, and had no doubt that she could advance to the Golden Core stage.

There's no other reason than that the people in her sect are all too powerful.

Master Ruoshui's age is unknown, and she has never mentioned her cultivation level. However, only those above the Nascent Soul stage can be called Venerables, but according to Yinyin's observation, Master's strength is definitely more than just the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, Senior Brother Xuan Guang is now a Nascent Soul cultivator.

That's right. The eldest brother is not even thirty years old, but he is already a Nascent Soul level expert. If he were outside, he could already be an elder of a sect.

Although the second senior brother had only recently become a Golden Core cultivator, he was only a few years older than Qi Tianyuan.

Needless to say, Qi Tianyuan is the male lead. Yin Yin has been competing with him in cultivation since childhood, so she has no idea about the cultivation speed of normal people.

So to this day, Yin Yin still hasn't realized that she is actually a genius among geniuses.

Once they entered the first plot of land, someone quickly came forward to greet them.

"Do you have an invitation?"

Ruoshui spoke in front of Xuanguang, while Jingyue held Yinyin and explained to her in a low voice.

"Although the sect martial arts tournament is a grand event that all cultivation sects can attend, sects that receive invitations will be treated much better than those that do not."

Yinyin understood; this invitation effectively categorized the attending sects into different tiers. After all, there were many sects in the cultivation world, but only a few were truly worth paying attention to.

For the first group, not just anyone can be treated as a distinguished guest and treated with great care.

"Senior Brother Jingyue, you know so much."

Jingyue was a little smug, but quickly suppressed it: "It's just that I learned a lot more while traveling outside."

Although Jingyue sometimes seems a bit unreliable, she had long ago obtained permission from Ruoshui to go out at any time.

He had a wide circle of friends, so he had seen a lot of different things. When Yin Yin was little, he would tell her these stories as bedtime tales.

Yinyin and Jingyue didn't care whether they received an invitation or not. With their sect's capabilities, they were sure they wouldn't have a bad time.

Because Ruoshui and Xuanguang did not have invitations, the disciple from the First Sect who came to greet them immediately became much more distant, even implying that they would only be given a decent place to stay if they gave them money.

Ruoshui and Xuanguang both understood, but ignored it. The man then marked out a space for them with a stern face and casually called over a handyman disciple: "You, take them there."

The servant respectfully responded, but when he learned where they were going, he couldn't hide his sympathy.

After walking a distance, the servant couldn't help but speak up: "Why don't you go back and talk to Senior Brother Zhao on his behalf? There's only one bamboo house in this area, and it's been in a terrible state of disrepair because no one lives here or takes care of it."

Seeing that her master and senior brother did not intend to speak, Jingyue stepped forward and said, "Thank you for telling us this."

Yinyin asked curiously, "If that bamboo house gets damaged, they won't make us pay for it, will they?"

“That’s definitely not going to happen,” the handyman disciple thought for a moment, then suggested softly, “Otherwise, if you’re not satisfied when we get there, I’ll take you to find the elder.”

"Elder Qian is always fair and just, he certainly won't let Senior Brother Zhao act recklessly."

Yinyin felt something was off.

The disciple's earlier reminder could be attributed to his good intentions, but his continued attempts to solve the problem go beyond that.

Yinyin pinched Jingyue's ear.

Jingyue naturally declined the suggestion from the handyman disciple.

Although the servant disciple disguised himself well, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of regret.

He led the group to the location, gave them a rough estimate of the time, and, still not giving up, made a hesitant gesture as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Ruoshui pretended not to see it and nodded to Jingyue.

Jingyue stepped forward, took out a brocade pouch, and tossed it onto the open ground in front of her.

In the blink of an eye, a beautiful mansion rose from the ground.

The handyman disciple paused for a moment, his gaze towards the group becoming thoughtful.

He rolled his eyes and bid farewell to the group, saying, "Please get some rest, distinguished guests."

After he walked away, the group entered the courtyard. Yinyin spoke with certainty: "This person has ill intentions towards us and wants to use us as pawns."

"What does it matter?" Jingyue didn't take this mere Qi Refining stage disciple seriously at all. "As long as you have enough strength, all your schemes are in vain."

Yinyin disagreed with him: "Senior Brother Jingyue, don't underestimate a nobody with little strength."

"The proverb 'a thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole' was first explained to me by you."
