Capítulo 872: Chapter 547: Cosmic Edge, Great Realm of the Universe The tea entered her mouth and instantly transformed into a vast yet gentle spiritual essence and Dao rhythm, nourishing the Divine Soul and enlightening Spiritual Wisdom, with astonishing effects. Her eyes flickered slightly, seeming somewhat surprised, and then without hesitation, she drank the remaining tea in the cup in one gulp, stood up, and moved with decisiveness: “Thank you, Brother Tianji, for your hospitality. I have disturbed you, farewell.” Obviously, without getting the answer she wanted, she showed no attachment, preparing to leave directly without an extra word or expression. Facing such an unembellished, blunt to the point of rudeness attitude, Yun Tianji couldn’t help but shake his head slightly, truly speaking of not a trace of social courtesy. He knew that Xue Qing was such a person, straightforward and pure at heart, so he didn’t mind. He summoned a servant nearby, took out a Jade Box he had prepared, the Jade Box was warm and inscribed with dense runes on the surface, and handed it to Xue Qing. Xue Qing stopped, a trace of doubt appearing in her cold eyes. “Two days of Spirit Leaves and some Cui Guang Spring Water.” Yun Tianji pointed to the empty teacup on the table and said with a gentle smile: “What you drank just now was brewed from this item. During the journey to Heaven Burial Palace, Daoist Zheng Chu helped me a lot. I have no way to repay the life-saving grace and have always been unable to thank him in person, feeling very uneasy. These Spirit Leaves, please, Miss Xue Qing, accept on his behalf, maybe… in the future, there will be a chance to share a drink with him.” His words were skillfully put, subtly indicating they were for Zheng Chu while giving Xue Qing a reason to accept, preserving the face of both parties. Xue Qing looked at the Jade Box, hesitated for a moment. She could naturally sense the value contained in it and the goodwill released by the other party. Ultimately, she reached out her hands, took the Jade Box, carefully stored it, and at the same time took out a seemingly plain brocade box, handing it back: “Consider this a return gift, hope Brother Tianji won’t decline.” She did not like owing favors, especially such unclear ones. Yun Tianji was slightly stunned, not expecting her to do this, he smiled, naturally reached out to take the brocade box, and did not open it on the spot, raising a hand with a smile to indicate: “Since that’s the case, I, Yun, will not refuse courteously. Miss, take care, I will not see you off too far.” Xue Qing nodded, made another salute, then turned around, transformed into a stream of light, and left the Water Pavilion straight away, disappearing into the sea of clouds. After Xue Qing left, Yun Tianji, with a bit of curiosity, casually opened the brocade box. As soon as the brocade box opened, it was not a solid base inside but contained a small hidden space. Within the space, a fully crystalline, like ice-carved, young dragon was leisurely coiling, lifelike, exuding extremely pure law fluctuations and vast vitality, like a living swimming fish. “Ice Marrow True Essence forming?” Yun Tianji’s expression was somewhat surprised for a moment, carefully observed a few more times, and then slightly shook his head, sighing: “Worthy of having entered the Martial Pavilion, this move is indeed not small.” This Ice Marrow True Essence is extremely effective for refining the Immortal Body and nourishing the Divine Soul, though not as valuable as the Heavenly Spirit Leaf, it’s still extremely precious and rare. This return gift carries significant weight, also indicating Xue Qing’s unwillingness to take advantage of others. After leaving the Yingxian Great Realm, Xue Qing didn’t pause, transformed into a long rainbow, and fled deep into the Martial Pavilion Ancestral Land. However, just as she was flying through a relatively open and desolate starry sky area, the void ahead suddenly rippled with extremely subtle, almost imperceptible space fluctuations. The next instant, a wisp of extremely thin, seemingly ready to dissipate at any moment, eerie black mist suddenly emerged from the twisted starry sky, like a living thing, directly pouncing towards Xue Qing’s face. Xue Qing’s expression suddenly tensed, she reacted extremely fast, Blood Qi surged instantly around her, forming a protective barrier in front of her, the Blood Qi of the barrier steamed like a blazing sun, instantly burning the starry sky. But strangely, that wisp of black mist seemed to be intangible and physical, treating the solid Blood Qi barrier as nothing, easily passing through it, and before she could react, it swiftly infiltrated her Sea of Consciousness at her brow. Xue Qing let out a muffled groan, only feeling a cold breath instantly pouring into her Primordial Spirit, she covered her forehead, brows furrowed, a trace of pain and struggle showing on her face, her fleeting figure also stalled instantly, suspended in the cold starry sky. That breath hovered in her Sea of Consciousness, attempting to leave some kind of imprint, but with Xue Qing’s resistance, it didn’t succeed and could only convey a vague will. Moments later, the blood light around Xue Qing surged, forcibly stabilizing the turbulence in her Sea of Consciousness, she slowly put down her hand, the pain on her face receded, replaced by extreme coldness and vigilance. “Heavenly Destiny True Spirit…?” After digesting the wisp of conveyed will, she muttered to herself, her tone full of doubt and scrutiny. After realizing what had just attempted to intrude upon her Primordial Spirit, and communicate with her, Xue Qing’s expression gradually returned to calm, but beneath that calmness was an unshakeable chill: “You want me to kill to gain nourishment, using Blood Soul to nourish you, and in return, you’ll help me gather more Heavenly Fate to rapidly enhance my Cultivation?” The will conveyed by that black mist was full of temptation, depicting a quick and powerful shortcut. Xue Qing was silent for a moment, her cold eyes showing no trace of wavering, but instead flashed a hint of disgust, she murmured: “I’ve been cultivating until now, all the way, never relying on external forces, nor do I believe in opportunities falling from the sky, especially not from the likes of you, a shady creature lurking in the shadows.” Google seaʀᴄh 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵
