She is Jianxiu

At this time, Qing Zhi was still chatting and laughing with Liu Xuan in the cave. Although the two of them had stayed indoors for the past few years, there were people who were concerned about this place and often spied on them in secret, which made Qing Zhi be on guard all the time.

Even before anyone had passed on the message, Qing Zhi paused, immediately stopped smiling, and whispered to Liu Xuan, "Someone is coming."

She raised her hand to signal Liu Xuan not to move, then turned her eyes and used a sense to look outside. After a moment, Qing Zhi's expression relaxed and she smiled again, "I was wondering who it was. It turns out it's an old friend."

On the Sun Island, the only person Qingzhi could call an old friend and who could make her smile was the one Liu Xuan had in mind. The latter's eyes moved, and he immediately understood what she meant. He stood up and said, "In that case, I should go over to greet him."

Qing Zhi's eyes turned again, and he immediately laughed at her eagerness, saying jokingly, "There is still no news from Tao Fei, but it means that Zhao Yu came here not long after coming out of seclusion. Now that you are a guest at my place, how can I ask you to go and greet him? It is better to ask Le Zhu to bring Zhao Yu in and have him sit down."

Only then did Liu Xuan respond and sit back in her original seat.

After a while, Le Zhu walked forward quickly, and there was indeed a tall female cultivator following him. As soon as he entered the hall, he spoke loudly, "I went to Senior Sister's place just now but couldn't find her, so I thought she came to Senior Qingzhi's place. It seems that my guess was correct. Senior Sister is indeed here."

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhao Yu with a faint smile on her face, walking like the wind, with a rather imposing and domineering demeanor. It was very rare to see her showing such a sharp edge. But half a breath later, Zhao Yu walked in front of the two people, and her sharp edge suddenly subsided, as if it had sunk into a deep pool, leaving only a rugged and tall peak, making it impossible to see the vast land below. At this moment, the person in front of them merged with the Zhao Yu in their impression, as if the previous posture was just a momentary trance.

Qing Zhi didn't think it was a mistake. She nodded and called Zhao Yu to sit down. She sensed a hidden and tyrannical power from the latter, which was very different from when he first came to the island. So she pursed her lips and smiled, "You must have improved a lot during this retreat!"

Zhao Yu nodded calmly and said, "Thanks to the opportunity granted by Your Majesty, I have finally made further progress in my cultivation and have now reached the middle stage of externalization."

"In just a few decades, A'u has successfully opened up the first spiritual barrier. This speed is already quite astonishing." Liu Xuan's words were filled with joy. It can be seen that although she already knew that Zhao Yu wanted to break through to the middle stage of externalization during this retreat, she still couldn't help being a little surprised when she actually heard the news.

It should be noted that Zhao Yu is less than 500 years old now. At this rate, he will most likely break through to the spiritual realm before he is a thousand years old. He can be said to be the youngest spiritual cultivator in history, even older than Zhan Tian back then.

Zhao Yu didn't care about this. He just looked up at Liu Xuan and smiled gently, saying, "There are still many difficulties ahead. Don't underestimate them. I heard that many of Zhao Yan's disciples stopped before these three spiritual gates. I just hope to advance steadily step by step, and speed is secondary."

Then his smile deepened, he raised his sleeves and saluted, saying: "I haven't congratulated you yet, Senior Sister. Now that you have achieved success in your cultivation, you have successfully passed the externalized heavenly tribulation."

Liu Xuan just shook her head, feeling a little ashamed: "I have been practicing all the way until now, and I have only achieved some basic skills, which can barely protect myself."

Mentioning the word "self-preservation", the three people in the hall had to think of what happened in Shenglaizhou that day. Zhao Yu's expression was slightly cold, and he was about to say to Liu Xuan: "Regarding the matter of Emperor Wu's blood, do you have any plan in mind?" Liu Xuan nodded immediately, with a hint of determination on her face, and said: "This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. If it is delayed any longer, it will only be more disadvantageous to me. Now that you have come out of retreat, it is time to take action."

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other in silence, both understanding each other's intentions.

Qing Zhi went to explain the matter to the two elders. Liu Xuan took Zhao Yu to stay in the mansion temporarily. However, after two days, a piece of news came to their ears from outside.

Because Chang Ying's position in the clan has become increasingly stable over the years, it would not be easy for her to be shaken. Even though Liu Xuan had the honor of viewing the map of Shenri Palace, everyone only looked up to her. Now that she wanted to seize the position of the emperor's daughter, many people wanted to obstruct her. It was only because Qing Zhi was very determined and had a very important status in the clan that Shang Yin agreed to this matter.

However, before that, Liu Xuan still had to overcome a difficult hurdle to prove that although she was in human form, she still had the ability to refine the Emperor's Black Blood. Otherwise, even if she won the position, she would not be worthy of the title.

This difficult hurdle was that she had to refine the blood and bones left behind by a descendant of the Golden Crow after his death.

Blood bones are condensed from the essence of the great demon's body, similar to the Buddhist relics, and are extremely precious, not something that ordinary demon cultivators can obtain. If Liu Xuan can successfully refine this thing, it may allow her to improve her cultivation. However, Zhao Yu and others do not think that these six-winged blue bird tribesmen will inexplicably give Liu Xuan such an opportunity. It can be seen that this matter is probably not a pie in the sky, but should be treated with caution.

However, as the challenger, Liu Xuan was ultimately more passive than the others. Perhaps she had already expected that the matter would not proceed smoothly. When she heard the news, there was no surprise on her face at all, as if she had it all planned out and was not afraid that people like Yao Jun would do anything about it.

Seeing that he had a plan, Zhao Yu felt relieved and secretly said that Liu Xuan had been well prepared in the past few days. If Chang Ying underestimated her, he would be the only one to suffer.

The next month, birds flew all over the forest. Thousands of long-feathered magpies flapped their wings and flew in all directions. Their chests were red, their backs were azure blue, and they had long tail feathers that sparkled like lake light. Their claws were black and sharp, but they grabbed a piece of embroidered silk cloth that covered the sky and the sun, and displayed a unique scene of rivers and mountains in front of the Baojing Palace.

The mountains on the silk cloth stretched out, forming a flat and open area. When the silk cloth was fully unfolded, the mountains on all sides rose from the ground, and even the pavilions, palaces, terraces and rain pavilions on the mountains gradually became clear. At this time, two figures were cast in the Baojing Palace, one on the left and the other on the right. They were Yaojun and Shangyin, the two elders of the clan.

Only when the two of them each occupied the highest peak did the rest of the people enter the scene one after another and sit down in the pavilions and palaces.

Among Zhao Yu's group, Liu Xuan sat near the two elders because she was the protagonist of today's event. She could see the cold and arrogant figure of Yao Jun Pang Wei and the imperial daughter Chang Ying sitting upright beside him with a deep look in her eyes. (End of this chapter)
