When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1161 Xuanyu 17
The disciple bowed his head: "This disciple is incompetent and has not been able to find out any trace of Senior Brother Mingqi."

Mingyuan, hands behind his back, asked, "Tell me, where exactly did Mingqi go?"

Just as he was deep in thought, Mingqi's soul lamp suddenly flickered, and Mingyuan's heart jumped into his throat, fearing that Mingqi's soul lamp would go out. After the small flame flickered twice, the flame in the soul lamp suddenly became stronger, as if it had been greatly nourished.

Mingyuan let out a long sigh: "It seems nothing serious has happened. Let's go."

The disciple followed Mingyuan out of the forbidden area: "Master, shall we still inquire about Senior Brother Mingqi's whereabouts?"

“Let’s withdraw. I knew my son wouldn’t perish so easily.” Mingyuan waved his hand. “As long as we know he’s alright, we don’t need to worry about anything else. We sword cultivators aren’t magic cultivators, so we don’t need to be so cautious.”

"Yes, Master!"

Mingqi settled down in Biluo Ridge. He was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, a long way from his previous half-step Nascent Soul stage.

Tan You: "Do you know who took your sword bone?"

Mingqi shook his head: "I don't know, but I only need to focus on one thing: knowing who in the cultivation world has sword bones is enough. By searching for them one by one, I will eventually find my own sword bones."

Tan You poured him a cup of tea: "The other party is not someone to be trifled with, for they could cause such a big blunder for the young sect master of the Sword Sect."

Mingqi smirked: "As long as I live, I will crush his bones one day."

Tan You fiddled with the chessboard, then looked at Ming Qi, calculated for a moment, and then smiled and said, "If you ever go to seek revenge, remember to take me with you."

Mingqi asked curiously, "Is it another story about fate?"

"No, I'm just curious." Tan You dodged the question: "You plan to stay in my Biluo Ridge forever?"

“Of course,” Mingqi said, “even for Yaoyao’s sake, he couldn’t leave Biluoling. Yaoyao’s cultivation still depends on Tan You’s guidance, not him. He only knows how to practice swordsmanship.”

Retraining always progresses faster. Mingqi had cultivated in Biluo Ridge for less than a hundred years and had already advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage. Firstly, Mingqi had prior experience, so he was no longer troubled by inner demons during his retraining.

Another advantage is the abundant spiritual energy of Biluo Ridge, making cultivation there even more effective than in the sect's top-tier training rooms. As a poor sword cultivator, could Ming Qi possibly pass up such a good opportunity?

Of course, he owed Tan You even more money, but Ming Qi was indifferent to it. Let them owe each other; the more they owed each other, the deeper their friendship would become.

Yao Yao is no longer a three-headed little baby. With Ming Qi's cultivation advancement, as Ming Qi's natal contract partner, she has successfully passed the transformation lightning tribulation and officially become a sixth-order transformed spirit plant.

However, after helping Yaoyao overcome her tribulation, Mingqi spent a full year in seclusion to barely recover from his injuries. After emerging from seclusion, Mingqi quietly incorporated body tempering into his cultivation plan and began various extreme operations, in short, courting death.

Yao Yao usually doesn't like to walk alone. She usually transforms into a red vine and wraps around Ming Qi's hair, adding a touch of bewitching charm to the usually cold and hard Ming Qi.

"You're planning to go out and take revenge?" Tan You was playing chess with herself when she heard this news and looked at Ming Qi in surprise.

Mingqi looked up at the sky: "My cultivation is already enough to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but I have been stuck at this step for the past few years. After thinking it over, this is the only thing I can do."

"I need to go out and resolve this matter; I can't let it affect my cultivation." Tan You nodded slightly: "Then let me offer you a prediction?"

“That’s why I came to find you,” Mingqi nodded straightforwardly. “The cultivation world is too big. I really don’t know who did it. If I rashly go out to find my enemy, I don’t know where to go.”

"Your deductive reasoning is unparalleled. Now I'm begging you to help me come up with a solution."

Tan You: "You're not planning to seek revenge alone, are you? The other party did that to you back then, their cultivation level must be quite high, maybe they're some kind of old monster from a powerful family."

Mingqi laughed: "Of course I can't go to him myself. I have to go back to the sect and call for help. It's not shameful to ask your elders for help when you encounter difficulties, and I don't feel that I have to avenge my family myself."

"Please have your elders beat him until he's barely alive, and then I'll finish him off myself. That's the same kind of revenge."

Tan You laughed too, and clinked glasses with Ming Qi: "I like this style. It's no fun to rely on yourself alone. You should rely on others when you need to."

As she spoke, Tan You fiddled with the chess pieces on the board. After doing so several times, Tan You said, "He is in the Western Continent and recently had the joy of welcoming a new baby."

"The Western Continent," Mingqi finished his cup of spiritual tea in one gulp, "and there's a new addition to the family, that makes things easier to inquire about. Would you like to come with me?"

Tan You pondered for a moment: "You should go back to the Sword Sect first. I'll go there after I've settled things at Biluo Ridge. Unlike you, I'm not free to leave whenever I want."

Mingqi said no more and left with Yaoyao that night.

Purple Ring Snake stood beside Tan You: "Are we really not going with him?"

Tan You shook her head: "He's so unlucky, going with him will only drag us down. Anyway, he's the one carrying Huo Huo, let him go on his own."

Silver Ring Snake shook his head: "Now we don't know if he's unlucky or lucky. If you say he's unlucky, he was born as the young sect master of the Sword Sect, and he has an exceptional talent for sword bones."

"You could say he was lucky. He painstakingly cultivated to the half-step Nascent Soul stage, but he almost died, and his sword bone was also taken away."

"It was a situation with almost no chance of survival, but I happened to meet you and even signed a life contract with the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine... Such ups and downs, you really can't take it without a strong heart."

Tan You: "Aren't all prodigies like this? There's no such thing as a prodigy who grows up without any obstacles."

"Take you for example, you have excellent aptitude too."

The silver-ringed snake transformed into a small snake and affectionately coiled around Tan You's wrist: "I am so lucky to have your guidance, otherwise I would have disappeared from the world long ago."

"You even taught me such a rare technique. I'm almost at the second silver ring now, but you, sir, have only just reached the seventh level."

Advancing only one minor realm in a hundred years is far too slow. The main reason is that the original owner lacked talent and had an impure bloodline. Furthermore, both of the original owner's parents were Immortal Lords; with Tan You's current abilities, how could she possibly extract those immortal bloodlines?
Therefore, Tan You can only wait and cultivate step by step. Only after she ascends can she choose to retain either bloodline. At that time, she will truly enter the fast lane.

Tan You smiled but remained silent: "It's alright, I can take my time. You all go ahead and ascend, but first go and pave the way for me. I have quite a few mortal enemies."

The silver-ringed snake flickered its tongue: "Don't worry, when the time comes, anyone who dares to bully you will have to get past me first!"
