This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

Lianxue held Heiyu in her arms, enjoying the warmth, and searched for a safe place.

Why not put the black feather into the Phoenix Bracelet? Because Lianxue was afraid. She was afraid that being alone in this unfamiliar environment would lead to despair or even thoughts of giving up.

The presence of Kuroba warmed her heart and gave her a sense of security, though not much, it was enough.

Outside the sect, all the disciples' assessments had ended, and night had fallen. The sky was still pitch black, and things were not very clear.

The elders, who had initially paid attention, grew indifferent and eventually left.

As the last group finished, everyone's rankings were determined, and they left one after another. Even Yunzhi had to leave for other matters.

At this moment, only messy footprints remain on the back mountain of the sect, densely packed with no sign of human presence.

Jingwei went from initial anticipation to gradual numbness, and finally left.

No one knows who is inside, and no one cares about their fate, whether they live or die. This is different from their destiny.

They will be chosen by different sects, so what they need to do next is prepare for their new life and meet the challenges within the sects. Who will care about the people inside the formation?

Even if a few people happen to pass by, they just shake their heads and leave silently.

The next day, the sky was bright as usual, but it was overcast and gloomy. Lightning flashed and raindrops slid down, and the rain spread in an instant.

The rain knocked down flowers and grass, washed away leaves, and soaked pedestrians who ran and hid in the rain. Water gathered under the eaves and cascaded down like a waterfall.

Water droplets rose up on the street like scattered pearls; some people sang and danced wildly in the rain, while others absorbed the water element.

Who would remember that there were two people in the ancient Tianyi Formation who fought desperately to survive, living in constant fear and hunger?

The selection process for joining the sect, which was originally scheduled for the next day, had to be postponed due to heavy rain.

When selecting talent, sects do not choose the best candidates, but rather select them based on the numbers drawn on wooden plaques, which are then determined by a lottery drawn by sect representatives.

Of course, the person in charge of drawing lots cannot be a member of the sect, otherwise there is a possibility of cheating. So usually, they supervise each other to draw lots, and finally announce the results in front of everyone. After that, they can enter the sect they have chosen.

Then, the person in charge will lead them away, and the sect selection will be perfectly concluded.

Lianxue didn't know how much time had passed outside, but she had already spent four days inside the formation. She understood that since this was a formation, time was not fixed, and the outcome was not important.

What she wanted most was to leave as soon as possible, obtain the elixir, end this mission, and then go find her master.

After the previous battles, Lian Xue's spiritual power, combined with the Nine Curves Technique, recovered and absorbed faster. She has now reached the advanced level of Martial General and can break through to the next level with continued effort.

While restoring their spiritual power, both Hei Yu and Bai Lang absorbed some of it, and both regained their mobility.

At this moment, Black Feather did not enter the Phoenix Bracelet. It silently perched on Lianxue's shoulder, watching the little girl draw talismans.

This time, Lianxue wanted to draw more thunder talismans, as other talismans seemed ineffective here, and she thought that perhaps thunder talismans would be useful.

Fortunately, she replenished a lot of cinnabar and talisman paper on the way, and naturally, it was also because of the Phoenix Bracelet that she was able to preserve so many things.

Lian Xue's talisman is still orange. To reach blue, her strength must keep up. It is impossible to do this before reaching the Martial King level, because the required spiritual power and mental power are several times greater than they are now.

As Lian Xue drew the talisman, she sensed that the elements within this formation were much denser than those outside. With her first stroke, a bright white line appeared, changing with the arc of Lian Xue's brush.

The pen tip made a crackling sound as it touched the paper, like static electricity. As the Lotus Snow Thunder Talisman was halfway drawn, a faint dragon's roar appeared, seemingly both an illusion and reality.

Of course, Lianxue didn't notice, because at this moment all her attention was on the talisman brush and talisman paper, and she had entered a state of selflessness.

Black Feather opened its eyes wide and stared at the lotus snow being drawn carefully in front of it. It seemed as if a faint red light appeared on her body, then disappeared, which it thought was just an illusion. Then it heard that dragon roar again, and it stood up from its lazy state and looked at it seriously.

A flicker of doubt crossed his eyes as he focused intently on Lianxue, watching each line she drew. Then, he calmed down, nestled on Lianxue's shoulder, and watched quietly as if nothing had happened.

As Lian Xue finished her last stroke, a golden dragon coiled on the talisman and vanished in an instant, as if it had never appeared at all.

Lianxue drew about ten talismans in a row before stopping and taking out some food to fill her stomach. Heiyu didn't stand on ceremony and started eating the three small fish that were left over.

Bai Lang is still recovering and has entered a state of cultivation, so he does not need to eat.

After eating and drinking her fill, Lianxue withdrew her spiritual body and entered the Phoenix Bracelet to observe how the snow element essence was inside.

Upon entering the Phoenix Bracelet, one can see an area of ​​several thousand square meters. The dried-up riverbed is now covered with snow, and the space is filled with cold air. Snowflakes are falling gently, just like outside.

Snow Ice Soul also rolled around inside.

Looking at the changes within the space, Lianxue wondered to herself, could this Phoenix Bracelet really become an independent space?

At this moment, Hei Yu entered with Lian Xue's permission, and said calmly with elegant cat-like steps, "Of course, otherwise why would I need to guard it?"

Lianxue was skeptical and asked, "Since you're the one guarding it, you should be able to come and go as you please. Why do you need my permission?"

With cat-like steps, Hei Yu leaped onto the bridge railing, squatted down, and replied, "Alas! I'm injured, so my strength is limited, and I can't control the Phoenix Bracelet yet."

Lianxue asked with some doubt, "So you mean that as long as you regain your strength, the Phoenix Bracelet will obey your commands?" Does that mean I'm going to lose it? Lianxue sighed inwardly.

Hei Yu seemed to see through Lian Xue's thoughts, "Don't worry, the Phoenix Bracelet has already recognized its owner. Unless it chooses to take it away, no one can take it, including me."

Lianxue was relieved and smiled unconsciously. "Don't worry, we agreed that if I can't do it by the time the contract is up, then... then I'll return it to you." The way to return it, of course, is to terminate the contract, but things are fine as they are now.

Black Feather did not answer; it already had the answer in its heart. It had only been a short time, yet it had already found an elemental essence. It was still far from being fully recovered.

At this moment, Black Feather itself did not realize that it had already accepted Lotus Snow as its and the Phoenix Bracelet's master.

After reading it, Lianxue exited the space and slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at the vast white world before her, she felt a surge of longing—a longing for freedom, a longing for a world of her own. So she had to work hard.

She got up and continued walking, but before she knew it, the snow began to stop. What started as a flurry of snowflakes turned into a light drizzle, and then finally stopped altogether.

Lianxue felt like she had been walking for a very, very long time; she couldn't remember exactly how long, nor could she remember why she was there.
