“Alright, Master has said all that needs to be said. Qingxue, my disciple, what did you want to tell me earlier?” Having smoothly achieved his goal, the Purple Song Sage asked Yun Qingxue with a smile.
“Master, it seems there’s something unusual happening to my body. My cultivation progress has become extremely difficult!” Thinking of her condition, Yun Qingxue couldn’t help but darken her expression.
The smile on the Purple Song Sage’s face stiffened, and he inwardly scolded himself for his negligence.
He reached out and took Yun Qingxue’s wrist, channeling his own spiritual energy bit by bit into her body.
“There’s nothing unusual at all!” The Purple Song Sage frowned and muttered in confusion.
“Master, can’t you tell what’s wrong with me either?” Yun Qingxue couldn’t help but feel a surge of impatience.
The Purple Song Sage’s brows furrowed even deeper as he said gravely, “When I sent you to the Yunhuang Illusionary Realm for training, even the worst-case scenario I envisioned was that you’d rely on the advantages of your innate divine physique, coupled with the opportunities in the Yunhuang Illusionary Realm, to elevate your cultivation to the Longevity Stage in one go.
But just now, when I examined your meridians and dantian, I found your cultivation stuck at the late-stage Great Demon level!
What exactly is the anomaly affecting you?”
“This condition has actually been going on for a long time,” Yun Qingxue said with a deep frown, recalling. “At first, my cultivation wasn’t very high, and my body only occasionally experienced slight pain.
The pain felt like thousands of ants gnawing at my bones.
But later, as my cultivation gradually improved, the pain became more and more frequent. In the end, every time I started cultivating, I’d often be tormented by that pain to the brink of death!
To be honest with you, Master, in the Yunhuang Illusionary Realm, there were several times when I nearly went berserk from the pain while cultivating!”
After Yun Qingxue finished speaking, the Purple Song Sage examined her body once more, but just like before, he found nothing amiss.
Yet Yun Qingxue had absolutely no reason to lie to him, her master.
If she said so, then there must truly be something wrong with her body. But what could possibly be causing the condition she described?
“Qingxue!” The Purple Song Sage looked up, his expression solemn. “Your master can’t discern what’s wrong with you either! But I have a friend who is highly skilled in alchemy and medicine.
Don’t worry—I’ll contact her immediately and have her come as soon as possible to examine you.”
“Thank you, Master.” Yun Qingxue’s anxious heart settled somewhat. She trusted that her master would surely find a way to help her!
“Mm. I’ll go contact that old friend now. The news of my Luoyun Mountain accepting disciples has already spread for days, and many spirits and demons have gathered at the foot of the mountain. Starting tomorrow, you and your two senior brothers will begin selecting suitable candidates to join our sect!” The Purple Song Sage rose with a serious expression, but before leaving, he reassured her, “You are my disciple, and I will do everything I can to help you as soon as possible. Don’t worry!”
“Your disciple thanks you, Master!” Yun Qingxue bowed deeply, but the Purple Song Sage had already soared away on the wind, heading beyond Luoyun Mountain. His figure soon vanished into the vast blue sky and white clouds.
Thinking of her master’s instructions about selecting disciples, she turned and headed straight for Mo Changxing’s courtyard.
When Mo Changxing saw Yun Qingxue, he immediately flew out to greet her, his handsome face wearing a gentle smile. “Little Junior Sister, I was just about to look for you.”
“Oh?” Yun Qingxue smiled faintly. Earlier, when she went to see their master, he had said he was about to look for her. Now, when she came to see Senior Brother Changxing, he said the same thing. What a coincidence.
“Senior Brother, did you need something?” she asked with a smile.
“Nothing urgent.” Mo Changxing led her to sit in the outer chamber, his expression full of concern. “I just wanted to ask if you’re still feeling unwell. Have you gone to see Master about it?”
At the mention of her condition, Yun Qingxue’s expression dimmed slightly.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her body—even her master couldn’t find the cause!
“What’s wrong?” Noticing her change in mood, Mo Changxing’s handsome brows furrowed.
“Master couldn’t tell what’s wrong with me either,” she sighed.
“How could that be?” Mo Changxing was genuinely surprised.
Though the Purple Song Sage often acted unreliable, Mo Changxing had never once doubted his master’s abilities.
If even the Purple Song Sage couldn’t identify Qingxue’s problem, what exactly was happening to her?
“Qingxue, don’t worry. Even if Master can’t identify the issue right now, he’ll surely find a way to heal you eventually!
You must know—our master’s skills are among the very best in the entire Profound Spirit Continent, even in the Divine Realm!”
Despite his own worries, Mo Changxing smiled warmly and tried to comfort her.
“Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. I also believe Master will find a way.” Yun Qingxue gave a radiant smile, her beautiful eyes shimmering like water as she looked at Mo Changxing. “But let’s not dwell on this. I came here to discuss something with you.”
“What is it?” Mo Changxing asked quickly.
Yun Qingxue then relayed the Purple Song Sage’s instructions about selecting disciples.
She noticed keenly that with every word she spoke, Mo Changxing’s expression darkened further. By the time she finished, his face had turned completely grim.
Yun Qingxue was puzzled. Wasn’t it just about their master expanding the sect and taking in more disciples? Why was her senior brother reacting so strongly?
Was he afraid that with more disciples, their master would neglect him?
Surely not! Her senior brother—this devastatingly handsome, overwhelmingly powerful man—couldn’t possibly harbor such childish thoughts, right?
“Senior Brother, is there a problem?” Yun Qingxue frowned slightly.
But Mo Changxing had already stood up, saying to her, “Qingxue, go back first. I have something to attend to.”
“Senior Brother, what are you planning?” Seeing his unusually stern expression, Yun Qingxue couldn’t help but ask.
“I’m going to see Master!” Mo Changxing replied in a low voice.
Yun Qingxue raised an eyebrow inwardly. With Mo Changxing’s expression looking so off, she nearly blurted out, *”Senior Brother, are you going to fight Master?”*
It wasn’t just her imagination—his face truly looked like he was about to pick a fight with someone.
“Senior Brother, Master has already left Luoyun Mountain,” Yun Qingxue called out loudly as Mo Changxing strode away.
Mo Changxing’s steps halted abruptly, his expression growing even darker.
“Did he say where he was going?” he asked.
“Master only said he was going to find an old friend to treat me. He didn’t say where,” Yun Qingxue answered honestly.
