Chapter 70: I thought she was going to kill me to silence me.
"You've got a good thought!" Yang Jiuli looked at Qin Zhixue, patted her shoulder and said, "After you join the immortal sect, you must remember that in this world, you must not trust anyone easily, and you must be more vigilant in everything... Only by improving your cultivation can you truly succeed."
"Okay!" Qin Zhixue nodded.
"It is a good thing that you possess a precious body, but the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. You must learn to protect yourself," Yang Jiuli advised.
He withdrew his hand.
"Don't worry, Ninth Master, I will be very cautious after joining the immortal sect!" Qin Zhixue said earnestly.
"You've been intelligent since childhood. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you're sure to achieve great things. If you ever encounter any problems, feel free to write to me!"
Yang Jiuli said.
"Yes!" Qin Zhixue nodded.
"Zhixue, it's time to set off!" At this moment, Luo Qiuping's voice came.
She seemed to walk on air, each step creating an ice flower, and appeared on the riverbank.
Behind her, the ice bird also flapped its wings and followed.
"Okay!" Qin Zhixue responded, then looked at Yang Jiuli and Tang Yifan, bowed, and said, "Take care!"
"Take care!" Yang Jiuli and Tang Yifan returned Qin Zhixue's greeting and said goodbye.
With a flick of her jade-like hand, Luo Qiuping released a wisp of cold air from her palm, drawing Qin Zhixue into the air and landing her on the back of the ice sparrow.
"Wait for me here," Luo Qiuping said to Qin Zhixue. "I have a few words to tell your companions."
As it spoke, the ice sparrow flapped its wings, carrying Qin Zhixue away from the riverbank.
"This..." Qin Zhixue frowned, wanting to say something, but still pursed her lips and remained silent, letting the ice sparrow carry her away.
Luo Qiushui's body floated down to the riverbank.
Tang Yifan was surprised to see the woman land.
"Greetings, senior!" Yang Jiuli quickly bowed and greeted him.
"Greetings, senior!" Upon seeing this, Tang Yifan followed suit and bowed.
"What is your relationship with Zhixue?" Luo Qiuping asked with a cold and authoritative gaze.
Seeing the woman's cold and aloof attitude, which suggested she had ill intentions, Tang Yifan looked at Yang Jiuli.
"We and Fellow Daoist Qin are old friends from our mortal days!" Yang Jiuli said.
"Just family friends!" Luo Qiuping stared at Yang Jiuli with sharp, knife-like eyes and said coldly.
Along with it came an invisible pressure of spiritual energy.
This made Tang Yifan shudder, feeling cold sweat pour down his back, and he didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
"Replying to Senior, we are merely family friends!" Yang Jiuli replied with neither arrogance nor servility, bowing respectfully.
"Good!" Upon hearing this, Luo Qiuping said "good," and the Foundation Establishment cultivator withdrew his divine sense pressure.
Tang Yifan felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief.
But he kept his head down, not daring to look at the woman again.
Yang Jiuli bowed, without saying a word.
"You're a smart man... Let me give you one more piece of advice: whatever your relationship with Zhixue may be, it must be severed from you today. And don't use her name to swindle and deceive others. Although Ice River Valley is a celestial sect, it is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of aristocratic families. If you really commit a crime and make enemies you shouldn't have, Zhixue will not be able to help you. Do you understand?"
Luo Qiuping said in a cold and sharp tone.
"I understand!" Yang Jiuli replied.
Luo Qiuping nodded with satisfaction.
He then looked at Tang Yifan.
"I understand!" Tang Yifan shuddered and quickly replied.
"Very good, I hope you will remember what I said today!" Luo Qiuping nodded with satisfaction.
"I will never forget your teachings, senior!" Yang Jiuli said.
Tang Yifan immediately followed suit.
"This is a small token of my appreciation!" Luo Qiuping moved her jade hand, and two storage bags appeared in her palm as she handed them over.
"Thank you, senior!" Yang Jiuli accepted the storage bag.
"Thank you, senior!" Tang Yifan accepted the storage bag.
Without saying a word, Luo Qiuping moved and gracefully flew away.
Only when they felt the oppressive force weaken did Yang Jiuli and Tang Yifan straighten up.
Yang Jiuli stirred his divine sense and reached into the storage bag.
"One hundred low-grade spirit stones... three first-tier high-grade talismans, two first-tier top-grade talismans: one bottle of first-tier mid-grade 'Qi Condensation Pill'!"
"This woman is quite polite," Yang Jiuli said with a slight smile.
This storage bag, which is only three zhang square, is worth twenty low-grade spirit stones!
Including the three first-grade high-quality talismans, the total quality reached the premium level, with each worth around eighty low-grade spirit stones.
Those two top-grade first-tier talismans were worth around 150 low-grade spirit stones.
This gift amounts to nearly five hundred spirit stones.
If Tang Yifan is included, that would be a thousand low-grade spirit stones.
He was incredibly generous.
However, compared to this woman's Foundation Establishment status in the Immortal Sect, it seems neither significant nor insignificant.
After all, these spirit stones were meant to buy out the friendship between Yang Jiuli and the others and Qin Zhixue.
They should be told not to cause trouble for Qin Zhixue.
For Ice Valley, this amount of spirit stones is not much.
After checking the storage bag with his divine sense and finding no trace of Luo Qiuping's divine sense, Yang Jiuli hung it on his waist.
"Ninth Brother... what does this fairy mean?" Tang Yifan scratched his head and said, "Just now, when that immortal aura pressed down, I thought she was going to kill me to silence me? I never expected that she would give me so many spirit stones before leaving? That's really strange."
"The fairy is encouraging us to cultivate diligently," Yang Jiuli said.
"Zhixue has a bright future ahead of her; if we don't diligently cultivate, we'll be holding her back!"
Yang Jiuli naturally understood Luo Qiuping's meaning.
Ice River Valley will certainly nurture this disciple with all its might, and will not allow anyone to interfere with Qin Zhixue's future on the path to immortality.
"I understand..." Tang Yifan said, "She wants us to..." He had been stunned earlier.
Looking back now, she realized that Luo Qiuping was using both kindness and threats to sever her connection with Qin Zhixue.
At least we can't cause her any trouble.
However, before he could finish speaking, Yang Jiuli made a silencing gesture.
Tang Yifan then fell silent, simply gazing quietly at the Sendai ahead.
At this moment, Luo Qiuping had already flown to the side of the ice sparrow.
However, she had another person with her, namely Lu Wenqing.
This girl was found to have a low-grade spiritual root, which is not acceptable.
Luo Qiuping was worried that Qin Zhixue might have difficulty adapting to the Ice Valley alone, so she brought Lu Wenqing along as well.
With this companion, Qin Zhixue could focus on her cultivation!
"Brother, Grandpa, take care!" Lu Wenqing looked down at Lu Wenzheng and the old man and called out reluctantly.
"Wenqing, once you go to the Immortal Sect, you must listen to your teachers and elders and serve your sister Zhixue well," Lu Bingzhi said.
He was quite excited at that moment.
Now that his granddaughter has entered the Ice River Valley, she can cultivate in the third-tier spiritual vein. Even if her talent is average, she still has the opportunity to advance to the late stage of Qi Refining. Finally, she has a good future. The Lu family can be considered to have a successor. He can finally breathe a sigh of relief after his death.
"Yes!" Lu Wenqing nodded.
"Let's go!" Luo Qiuping said, and the ice sparrow flapped its wings and flew away from the valley.
"Goodbye..." On the ice sparrow, Qin Zhixue turned around and looked at Yang Jiuli walking towards the platform, murmuring softly.
Who knows what kind of splendor we'll witness when we meet again?
