Senior Sister Luo Ying

Chapter 412 Senior Sister Luo Ying

As the Azure Cloud Ruler fell downwards, it sensed the massive hand of the Yan family patriarch reaching out to grab it from mid-air and began to tremble rapidly.

The Yan family patriarch was not surprised but delighted. The more intense the reaction, the stronger the spirituality and the more profound the foundation of the magic weapon.

With a slight exertion of the five fingers, the power of heaven and earth was rapidly mobilized.

The Azure Cloud Ruler was immediately trapped in mid-air, unable to move, and was held in Yan Xunnan's hand.

At the same time, the gates of Qingxiao Palace opened.

The crimson glow vanished in a flash, revealing Gu Fan's figure. His face was slightly pale, and his eyes were dim, clearly indicating that he had suffered considerable loss of magical power and spiritual sense during the weapon forging process.

Upon seeing Gu Fan's figure, Yan Xunnan burst into laughter: "I must congratulate Elder Gu on his remarkable progress in weapon crafting. He has actually crafted such a powerful magical artifact for the Yan family. I imagine he will be able to craft spiritual treasures in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, his powerful divine sense probed into the Azure Cloud Ruler and saw twenty-four restrictions. He couldn't help but nod in admiration.

Wait, twenty-four restrictions?

Yan Xunnan was immediately startled.

Twenty-four restrictions—that's a symbol of a mid-grade spiritual treasure. How could Gu Fan, with his Nascent Soul cultivation, possibly refine a mid-grade spiritual treasure?

That's absolutely unbelievable!

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that five of the restrictions were damaged and incomplete, leaving only nineteen intact restrictions, which still fell under the category of magical artifacts.

"That's so reasonable... my ass!"

The representative must be a mid-grade spiritual treasure; a broken and incomplete restriction indicates severe damage. Nineteen restrictions can only mean a DJ (a type of magical artifact).

It was obtained through subsequent repairs.

So here's the question: where did the incomplete magical artifact come from?

Outside the Azure Sky Palace, Gu Fan listened to Yan Xun'nan's words and immediately gave her a mental thumbs-up: "As expected of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he really has guts, daring to steal even the treasures of the Luo Fu Immortal Sect!"

Seeing Ye Lian's shocked expression, he added: "And in front of her!"

Yan Xunnan pondered for a moment and immediately realized that things were not as he had imagined.

During this time, he had been in seclusion to heal his injuries and reattach his severed arm. As soon as he emerged from seclusion, he sensed the heavenly tribulation and assumed that Gu Fan was making a breakthrough and refining a magical artifact full of spiritual power.

It should be noted that spiritual treasures are rare even among Nascent Soul cultivators. Even though he was the patriarch of a clan, he did not possess any spiritual treasures for protection. Only a powerful force like the Luo Fu Immortal Sect could allow a Nascent Soul cultivator to obtain a spiritual treasure.

However, the last leader of the Xuan Yang Sect not only possessed the Xuan Yang Jade Disc, but also an offensive spiritual treasure. Yet, he disappeared while traveling. Otherwise, even if the ancestors of the three clans joined forces, it would have been difficult to overthrow the Xuan Yang Sect.

Yan Xunnan coughed lightly, his smile fading, and was about to ask a question.

Then a seductive yet angry female voice rang out: "I've long heard that Senior Yan possesses great magical power, but I never imagined that he would not even put the Immortal Sect in his eyes and would even dare to steal the treasures bestowed upon him by his master."

It was the female cultivator standing next to Ye Lian who spoke.

Although she was only at the late Nascent Soul stage, she had a Nascent Soul master backing her up and was also a disciple of an immortal sect. Even when facing the Yan family patriarch, she was not afraid. When she saw him seizing the treasure, her eyebrows furrowed and her tone became icy.

"Immortal Sect? Master?"

Yan Xunnan was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately felt his hands burning hot.

Just then, Yan Guiren stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Ancestor. That treasure... was crafted by Fellow Daoist Gu at the request of Fellow Daoist Ye of the Luofu Immortal Sect."

To prevent Yan Xun Nan from being unaware of Ye Lian's identity, he quickly added, "Fellow Daoist Ye Lian, and Fellow Daoist Luo Ying, are both esteemed disciples of Daoist Cang Qiu."

"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner!"

Yan Xun's angry shout echoed in his mind. Yan Guiren smiled bitterly and lowered his head, thinking to himself, "You acted too quickly, even if I wanted to warn you, it would have been too late."

"Hehehe, so you are the esteemed disciple of Daoist Cangqiu. I was just joking."

Yan Xunnan chuckled awkwardly twice, then released the Azure Cloud Ruler and tossed it towards Ye Lian.

Unexpectedly, the Azure Cloud Ruler did not fly towards Ye Lian, but instead flew in an arc towards Gu Fan.

Seeing this, Gu Fan's lips curled slightly. He reached out and held the Azure Cloud Ruler in his palm, sensing the faint spiritual energy within it, and nodded slightly.

It was worth the two and a half years he spent completing the nineteenth restriction.

In reality, repairing the restriction would take far more than three years, but Gu Fan discovered during the process that the restrictions, which were mirror images of each other, had many similar runes, which greatly reduced his deduction time.

If given enough time, he might be able to repair the remaining restrictions.

However, this would likely take decades, and the cost would be too heavy. After careful consideration, he decided to only repair up to the nineteenth restriction, bringing it to the limit of a high-grade magic weapon.

As for the emergence of a faint spirituality, that was an unexpected joy.

The spirit of the originally shattered and dead artifact still had some remnants in the Azure Cloud Ruler. Under the stimulation of the Profound Spirit Jade Soul, it was awakened and merged with the new artifact charm, thus giving birth to this trace of spirituality.

It still doesn't reach the level of a weapon spirit, but it far surpasses the Taibai Immortal-Slaying Sword.

Since Gu Fan awakened it himself, this spiritual essence felt quite close to him.

After inspecting it, Gu Fan lightly tapped the Azure Cloud Ruler and chuckled, "I'm not your master, go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Azure Cloud Ruler flew away, reluctantly heading towards Ye Lian.

When Ye Lian saw the Azure Cloud Ruler flying over, she grabbed it in her hand and felt its warm spiritual light. Although she felt a little strange, as if she had stolen someone else's magic weapon.

The spiritual treasure is clearly mine, and the materials used for repair are also mine, but the Azure Cloud Ruler seems to prefer Fellow Daoist Gu.

Why is that?

Fortunately, when she poured her magic into the Azure Cloud Ruler, she immediately felt its warm response, and the strange feeling gradually dissipated.

The Azure Ruler belongs to the elements of wood and water, which perfectly matches her spiritual roots, making them a perfect match.

This is why, while all the other disciples under Daoist Cangqiu gave up on repairing the Azure Cloud Ruler, she persisted.

At this moment, she felt somewhat fortunate that she had chosen the Yan family as the place to refine the treasure.

The Heavenly Tribulation is incredibly powerful. If she chooses to refine treasures at a celestial sect, the news of the Azure Cloud Ruler being repaired will surely spread far and wide, causing further setbacks to some of her plans.

On the other side, Yan Xunnan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Azure Cloud Ruler returned to its rightful owner. He smiled at Ye Lian and said, "I have been in seclusion, and I hope my clan has not neglected you two young friends. Perhaps I could extend my hospitality later?"

"I appreciate your kindness, senior."

Luo Ying's cold tone did not dissipate after returning the magic weapon. She said in a cold voice, "Junior Sister has been away from the sect for a long time, and my master misses her very much. He ordered me to come and urge her to return. The two of us will return to the sect shortly."

Yan Xunnan's smile froze. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded and said, "In that case, I will entertain you two young friends again another day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xun Nan took a step forward and disappeared from sight.

"Disperse, everyone!" Yan Guiren said bitterly, waving his sleeve to disperse the Yan family members.

He then nodded to Gu Fan, exchanged a few more pleasantries with the Luo sisters, and flew away on his escape light.

Yan Xun Nan's public humiliation will naturally vent his pent-up anger on him, and he will surely be punished.

He now understood Yan Qingwu's feelings.

After everyone dispersed, Luo Ying and Ye Lian did not leave immediately, but instead flew towards Gu Fan.

Luo Ying, completely abandoning her previous coldness, looked Gu Fan up and down with a charming gaze and teased, "I wondered what kind of man could make my junior sister wait here for three years. Seeing him today, I can see he is indeed extraordinary."

"Senior Sister!" Ye Lian called out quickly.

Gu Fan coughed lightly, cupped his hands, and said, "I am Gu Fan, greetings to senior."

"You're too kind, fellow Daoist."

Luo Ying stepped forward and curtsied, her refreshing fragrance immediately spreading out. "I am Luo Ying, Lian'er's senior sister. Fellow Daoist, your weapon-refining skills are so exquisite, yet you remain in the Yan family. It's such a pity. May I recommend some suitable places?"

Gu Fan's weapon-refining skills were something she had witnessed firsthand, and they even surpassed those of his peers in the Luofu Immortal Sect, which made her want to win him over.

As a disciple of Daoist Cangqiu, Luo Ying also had allies.

Although it's impossible to bring Gu Fan into the Immortal Sect, introducing him to a cultivation family in the Second-Rank Heaven is no problem at all.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist, but..." Gu Fan said, looking at Ye Lian.

Ye Lian quickly communicated with Luo Ying through telepathy, revealing the transaction between the two. Luo Ying's phoenix eyes widened slightly as she exclaimed in surprise, "I never imagined that you would be so determined, fellow Daoist."

She then smiled and said softly, "In that case, it won't be long before we reunite."
