Chapter 431: Chapter 168: No, Are You Practicing the Hundred Tea Paths? (6k)_3
There is definitely Golden-winged Roc essence blood in the jade bottle. As Zhou secretly activated the ancient characters of the "Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture" in his sea of consciousness, his eyes quickly brightened.
Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and gently picked up the jade bottle that was entirely crimson in the middle.
As soon as the jade bottle entered his hand, a warm and domineering aura surged through his palm, faintly resonating with the "Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture".
This caused a surge of excitement in his heart.
As for the other items, Zhou Qing still had his rationality and decisively chose to give them up.
After all, accompanying him was a Spirit Severing Realm powerhouse. Being able to escape safely right under her nose was already a stroke of luck. If he were to be greedy, his life might be in danger.
"I’ve made my choice!" Zhou Qing said aloud.
The silver-haired woman didn’t say much either, she first picked up the beast hide scroll and slowly unfolded it.
Instantly, her pupils contracted sharply, full of astonishment, and then, euphoria instantly surged into her eyes.
Next, she picked up the storage bag and opened it to inspect it, equally excited.
Finally, her gaze fell on the other two jade bottles, which seemed to contain some kind of pill. After some investigation, joy once again appeared on her face, though it was unclear if the medicinal effect remained after all these years.
"These things are all very useful to me. If you keep them, they will only bring about your death. But since this stone platform was opened by you, I can’t take advantage of you for nothing!"
The silver-haired woman finished speaking and spread her hand, revealing a jade plaque emitting a faint fragrance.
"Once this jade plaque is activated, it can unleash a power equivalent to my full-force strike. I give it to you for your protection."
Staring at the jade plaque handed to him, Zhou Qing felt a rush of joy. If he were to pretend to decline such a rare treasure now, it would seem ungrateful.
"Thank you, senior!" Zhou Qing said excitedly, hurriedly reaching out to take it.
Then, she turned her gaze to the jade bottle in Zhou Qing’s hand and warned, "If you want to refine this essence blood, you must have an elder protect you by your side. The violent power contained within it is likely difficult for you to suppress with your current cultivation."
Zhou Qing’s lips curled into a smile. It seems she had noticed. However, with his own Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown ability, he needn’t worry.
But he still respectfully replied, "Understood, junior understands."
Following that, the silver-haired woman turned around to face Lu Yaoyao, and a snowflake appeared in her palm out of thin air as she softly said, "Put your hand on here."
Lu Yaoyao was slightly startled but then broke into a joyous smile and complied.
In the blink of an eye, the snowflake slowly changed color, gradually turning blue-green.
Seeing this, the silver-haired woman couldn’t help but show a look of surprise, quickly regaining her composure.
"I didn’t expect your constitution to be so similar to mine!" she murmured to herself.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyao became even more excited, her eyes turning red as she urgently asked, "R-really?"
The silver-haired woman collected the snowflake and took out two jade slips, handing them to Lu Yaoyao, saying, "This cultivation technique is called ’Ice Lotus’, which should fit your constitution. However, it is paired with the ’Ice Purity Skills’. If you want to cultivate it, you must abandon the heart method you previously learned..."
"I’m willing!" Lu Yaoyao eagerly interrupted before she could finish, her eyes fixed tightly on the silver-haired woman from beginning to end.
To her, if the person in front of her was indeed her biological mother, this would be the first gift from her mother in many years.
Zhou Qing, standing nearby, was genuinely happy for Lu Yaoyao.
One must know that the Taiqing Sect Leader’s heart method was the "Taiqing Profound Qi Skills"; even he had given it up, switching to the more suitable "Yin Yang Skills".
Now, this cultivation technique from a Spirit Severing Realm expert was far more advanced than the heart method of the Taiqing Sect.
The silver-haired woman stared at Lu Yaoyao, and after a moment, softly said, "Alright, be sure to safeguard it well, don’t let others take it from you."
"I absolutely won’t!" Lu Yaoyao promised firmly.
The silver-haired woman nodded slightly, and immediately, her immense divine sense spread out like a tide, thoroughly exploring every corner of the cave.
After confirming there was nothing else of value, she led Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao out of the cave.
"If fate allows, we will meet again next time!"
Outside the cave, after saying this, she gently waved her hand at the space in front of her. Instantly, a spatial rift emitting a trace of cold air appeared.
Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao hurriedly asked, "Sister, it’s difficult to repay such great kindness. May I ask your name?"
However, the silver-haired woman did not respond. She just gently waved her hand, and the two of them involuntarily floated towards the spatial rift and instantly vanished into it.
It was as if in just an instant, Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao felt their feet solidify. When they looked again, they realized they were already back at the Taiqing Sect, right outside Zhou Qing’s courtyard.
The once-frozen tree stood right before them.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing felt his scalp tingle, his heart full of shock.
This is the terrifying power of the Spirit Severing Realm?
The journey that took them seven days of hard effort was crossed in just a brief moment by a casual wave of her hand.
Deeply shaken, Zhou Qing suddenly felt an intense desire for this realm.
"Brother Zhou, will we see her again?"
Regaining her senses, Lu Yaoyao couldn’t hide her disappointment on her face; after all, she still didn’t know her name.
Zhou Qing sighed, unsure of what was troubling this girl.
He could only comfort her by saying, "We will, we will. You should diligently cultivate the ’Ice Purity Skills’ she gave you. Perhaps with this heart method, you can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in one go, and by then, you might meet her again."
