She is Jianxiu

Chapter 1186: Chapter : Jade Message

On this day, it had been some time since Zhao Yu returned to the mansion. When he was teaching the Dao to his disciple Qin Yuke, Yu Zhen came up quickly and whispered, "Mansion Master, there is a Taoist child outside the mountain. He said that she is a disciple of Elder Gan Zhongde. Would you like to bring her in to see her?"

Qin Yuke was about to retreat upon hearing this, but Zhao Yu raised his hand and asked her to sit down, and nodded to Yu Zhen and said, "Since he is Elder Gan's disciple, please let him in first."

Actually, she and Gan Zhongde had only met once, let alone a deep friendship. Now that his disciple suddenly asked to see her, he was probably just passing on a message.

Yu Zhen agreed, and then left the palace, calling her disciple Jiang Niyun to bring the Taoist boy over. In recent years, she has been entrusted by Zhao Yu to take care of the affairs of Xihe Mountain Mansion. Because of this relationship, most of the disciples of Miaozhen Temple also served in the mansion. Although the Miaozhen Temple lineage is gone now, the disciples have benefited from it and changed to practice more advanced Taoism. Today, it is absolutely different from the past.

These disciples were grateful to Zhao Yu for taking them in, and they reciprocated the favor by keeping the miscellaneous affairs in order. Of course, these were trivial matters that went unnoticed.

Jiang Niyun received the order from her master and soon brought the little Taoist boy forward. Zhao Yu saw that the boy had two buns on his head, a pair of bright black eyes, red lips and white teeth, and was very cute. Then he remembered that the Taoist boy was the little deer demon that Gan Zhongde had enlightened on the Sun Island. He didn't expect that when Gan Zhongde returned to the sect, he did not forget to bring the gatekeeper boy back with him, and now he accepted him as his disciple to be educated.

The Taoist child followed Master Yu Zhen into the hall. Although she tried her best to suppress her curiosity, she couldn't help but blinking and looking around. She remembered her master's warning when she came out. When she arrived in front of Zhao Yu, she knelt down and kowtowed, then said crisply: "Disciple Rongyu greets the Sword Master."

The two words "Rong Yu" were probably the name given to her by Gan Zhongde.

Zhao Yu called her up, and Jiang Niyun placed a small stool in the hall for her to sit on. Rong Yu was a little shy, so she thanked him repeatedly before sitting down on the stool. Zhao Yu asked, "Does your master have anything for you to tell him?"

She nodded, took out a letter from her sleeve, and handed it over while saying, "When my master heard that the Sword Master had returned home, he told me to hand this letter to the Sword Master."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Yu took the letter, but he didn't rush to open it. He just smiled and looked at Jiang Niyun and said, "It must be hard for her to come here all the way. You can take her downstairs to rest first, and then send her out of the house in half an hour."

Jiang Niyun immediately responded that it was true, and then left the hall with Rongyu. Only then did Qin Yuke think for a moment and asked, "Master, do you think the contents of the letter are not simple?"

Zhao Yu did not comment, but took the letter and unfolded it, saying, "It's just a guess. I don't have much contact with Gan Zhongde, but he sent a disciple to deliver the letter at this time. It shows that the things mentioned in the letter, at least for him, cannot be delayed. Or it could be a message for someone else."

Qin Yuke nodded silently, and waited until Zhao Yu finished reading the letter before she noticed that her brows were slightly furrowed and her face looked a little solemn.

However, the letter was not written by Gan Zhongde, but as Zhao Yu expected, it was actually written by another person. This person introduced himself in the letter, saying that his name was Geng Hongzhi, and he was a disciple of the Outer Transformation Period in Zhaoyan Sect. He was not born in the Eighteen Cave Heavens, nor was he related to aristocratic families by blood or marriage. He could be said to have an open background and mediocre qualifications. It was because Zhao Yu had rescued one of his disciples on the Sun Island that he wrote a letter to thank him and attached a piece of news. It turned out that Geng Hongzhi's master had produced several spiritual masters for three generations. At that time, the master-disciple system was very prestigious, and it could be said that there were many talents. However, later on, the spiritual masters in the sect died one after another, and there were no outstanding disciples to inherit the mantle, so his master's lineage gradually withered. Fortunately, today, there is a disciple of my uncle who is quite talented. Not only did he get the position of a true disciple, but he also ascended to the Dragon and Tiger Tower. Now he ranks seventeenth on the Earth List and is only one step away from the realm of spiritual enlightenment.

The letter stated that Yuan Donglai, the true disciple, had the intention of abdicating. If Zhao Yu was willing, he could report to the sect and give the location of the Dragon and Tiger Tower to her. However, in exchange, if Zhao Yu obtained Xitu in the future, she would also have to give him a grain.

As for what this Xitu is, it is a rare treasure with miraculous uses. It is also called Xiran. Legend has it that it can keep growing and expanding, never diminishing, and is indestructible. If you put a grain of Xitu into water, you can fill up the rivers and seas in a few breaths. In addition, if a spiritual cultivator wants to make further progress, he cannot do without the help of this thing.

Everything in the Dao diagram is illusory. If one day the illusory is refined into reality, it will be a cave world. A great cave world cultivator like Hai Qing who borrows the energy between heaven and earth and refines the illusory in one thought can achieve this Dao without the help of Xitu. However, most cultivators do not have this ability and can only rely on external objects. Xitu is such a mysterious thing, which has been coveted by Dao cultivators since ancient times.

Earlier, Hai Qing had explained to Zhao Yu that the small world of Rizhong Valley that she left for the sect as a trial site was transformed from Xitu. Yuan Donglai might have heard about this, which is why he discussed this with Zhao Yu.

However, Xitu is precious, so why would he exchange the quota of Longhu Tower with Zhao Yu? This is a bit suspicious.

Speaking of the Dragon and Tiger Tower, Qin Yuke was slightly surprised. After thinking for a while, he said to Zhao Yu, "I have only heard a little about the Dragon and Tiger Tower from Elder Shi. It was all spread by the people above. Even Elder Shi himself doesn't know much. He said that the sect will have a great opportunity recently, but not everyone can get it. From what the higher-ups have revealed, only the true disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Tower can get a chance.

"Therefore, among the true disciples, there are also many who covet this. It's a pity that the true disciple competition is still far away. Unless a disciple voluntarily resigns, there will be few changes in the thirty-six people on the Heaven and Earth Rankings."

A great opportunity?

Zhao Yu was secretly shocked, but he did not question the truth of Qin Yuke's words, because this matter came from Shi Xiangyuan's mouth, and it vaguely involved people above, so it would not be possible to spread such rumors among the disciples without any basis, causing people to be uneasy. However, what exactly this opportunity is, is still unknown.

"Excuse me, Master. Does the letter handed to me by Elder Gan ask you to go and compete for the position of the thirty-six people in the Dragon and Tiger Tower?" Qin Yuke roughly guessed the content of the letter, but was quite doubtful about it. Since he didn't know the details, he had to step forward and ask.

Seeing that it was his own disciple who spoke, Zhao Yu had no intention of hiding it, so he directly handed the letter to Qin Yuke, and then asked with interest: "What do you think, Yuke?"
