I courted death and then tried to escape, so the whole sect wants to get rid of me.

Previously in the Earth Realm, she was ambushed. With her last bit of strength, she imprinted the attacker's life mark on the Guiyu Sword, and then ordered the Guiyu Sword to return to the Nine Saints Hall after her death.

If she could retrieve the Jade Sword, she might be able to find out who attacked her back then.

It's not that I want revenge, I just want to be more careful.

After all, the one who ambushed her was likely a well-known cultivator.

There's a reason why Song Yao dares to so openly ask for the Guiyu Sword now.

Those who achieve the pinnacle of swordsmanship have their natal swords forged by the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Regardless of its previous rank, this sword will be called the Divine Vein Sword, just like the ancient divine swords in the sect's sword tomb. It can slay demons that ordinary swords cannot cut, and can cleave barriers that ordinary swords cannot break.

It possesses an inherent majestic sword aura, and when placed within a sect, it can even be used directly as a spiritual vein for disciples to cultivate upon.

The new owner who gains the approval of the Divine Vein Sword may also inherit some of the swordsmanship of the original owner.

Therefore, putting aside her character, objectively speaking, there are countless sword cultivators who want the Guiyu Sword.

The sword cultivators of the Nine Saints Hall must also be envious.

It's perfectly normal for her to want that.

The Sixth Elder, as expected, didn't think much of it, but looked troubled: "Giving it to you directly is probably not an option. I can make the decision for you to take a look or use, but..."

Song Yao: "But what?"

"The Jade Sword is not currently with the sect."

The Sixth Elder looked slightly worried. "Your eldest brother took it earlier."

Song Yao exclaimed, "Senior Brother?"

What is he going to do with the Guiyu Sword?

Could it be that they're afraid her sword is as bad as she is, so they're using it to suppress her?

Sixth Elder: "Well, that child isn't a sword cultivator, so we don't know exactly what he'll use it for. Maybe it's to protect the Guiyu Sword."

Song Yao: "Protect the Guiyu Sword?"

"Yes, after your third senior sister caused chaos in the Nine Saints Hall, many evil cultivators began to follow her and even tried to seize the Returning Jade Sword."

"..."

have to.

The Guiyu Sword has also become an evil weapon.

Song Yao had no choice but to give up.

With the Dao Snake Teng sealed within her body, she might be able to sense the presence of the Guiyu Sword if she was close by, but if she was far away, she would have no way to detect it.

The Sixth Elder comforted him, saying, "There are many other divine swords in the Sword Tomb. If you really like them, you can ask the Ninth Elder to take you to see them. However, whether you can gain their approval depends on yourself."

In principle, a disciple can only enter the Sword Tomb once.

This little girl has done a lot of good this time, so making an exception isn't a big problem.

Song Yao replied listlessly, "No need, I'll look at it when Senior Brother comes back next time."

Despite saying that, the elders still didn't intend to let Song Yao suffer any losses.

When she first joined the sect, the cost of the two pills was clearly calculated. Now that we're taking her things, we can't let her suffer any injustice.

The Second Elder took money from the sect's treasury and delivered it to the Seventh Elder. The Seventh Elder then used some connections to buy a fine furnace cauldron and moved it directly to Song Yao's courtyard.

Song Yao's eyes lit up as she looked at the pure white, shimmering cauldron: "For me?"

This child doesn't show his emotions much; he's always rather reserved.

Seeing her happy, the Seventh Elder was also pleased, nodding with a smile: "Of course, it's for you. It's carved from warm jade, much sturdier than other furnaces, and less likely to shatter. Do you like it?"

Not easily blown to pieces?

This was exactly what Song Yao wanted. She nodded and circled the furnace twice: "I love it! I love it! I love it! If I make money from alchemy, I will definitely repay you!"

The Seventh Elder was overjoyed and said with a smile, "It wasn't a gift from me. Several elders said they couldn't let such a sensible child like you suffer, so they asked me to buy it for you."

Song Yao tiptoed to look into the furnace and was also amused by the coaxing.

Such a sensible child?

It's amazing that such a title could be bestowed upon her.

She rummaged through her bag and handed a jade pendant to the Seventh Elder.

Seventh Elder: "What are you doing?"

Song Yao: "Buy furnaces and cauldrons for Master and Senior Brother."

Wanchunlou's revenue in the first half of the year was quite substantial; after deducting the monthly allowances distributed, there were still over a million in revenue.

Why not spend it if it's not going to be wasted? Let the Seventh Elder use it.

If her fourth junior brother asks her to take it back in the future, she can tell him to ask the seventh elder.

It shows filial piety and has no risks.

The Seventh Elder's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter as he took the jade token and stuffed it back into her storage pouch: "It's enough that you have the intention. What kind of master would use his disciple's money to buy things? If you gain weight and become healthier, your master will be satisfied."

Song Yao felt guilty about her ulterior motives.

After much deliberation, she stayed up all night using the new furnace to refine several batches of Qi-replenishing pills, which she delivered to the elders early the next morning to express her gratitude.

When the eldest disciple, He Yu, learned that she had given some to every elder, his pupils dilated in shock. He pulled the seventh elder aside and asked, "Should we remind the elders that Junior Sister's Qi-replenishing pills might have side effects?"

The Seventh Elder held the Qi-replenishing pill like a precious treasure: "What's the point of reminding them? What if they refuse to take it after we remind them? A bunch of old fogies, their cultivation is high, what could possibly happen to them? Don't worry about it."

He Yu: "..."

It sounds completely unreliable.

He thought about it and still felt it wouldn't work, so he secretly sent a few disciples to deliver a message to prevent his junior sister from being accused of harming a sect elder.

-

When Song Yao delivered the herb to Wangyun Peak where the Second Elder was, she stopped by Chen He and gave him the Spirit-Nourishing Grass.

Chen He was somewhat flattered: "For me?"

Song Yao said matter-of-factly, "Whatever is in the Ten Thousand Bones Forest Secret Realm belongs to whoever gets it. If I don't give it to you, who will?"

Chen He retreated repeatedly, shaking his head vigorously: "No, no, if you hadn't come, the Spirit-Nourishing Grass would have been snatched away by the disciples of the Northern Shaking Sect long ago. You should keep it."

Song Yao: "I was lucky. The evil spirits came out, but it has nothing to do with me."

Chen He: "You can't say that. If you hadn't stalled for time..."

Song Yao couldn't understand this back-and-forth drama.

If she wanted it, she certainly wouldn't give it away so easily.

But the Spirit-Nourishing Grass is meant to enhance spiritual power, and it's of no use to her whatsoever.

She doesn't need to sell it for money; she's not short of cash right now.

Too lazy to argue with him, she shoved the Spirit-Nourishing Grass into his arms, saying, "I don't want it anyway."

Chen He was startled, fearing that the Spirit-Nourishing Grass might fall to the ground and be damaged. He hurriedly caught it and was about to say something when Song Yao turned and walked out of the peak.

He was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

How can you just force someone to give away your precious possession like that?

Others would fight tooth and nail for this, wouldn't they?

He hurriedly took a few steps after him: "Wait, at least half for each of us..."

Before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the peak.

The two hurriedly left Wangyun Peak, and just as they turned the corner of Songying, they saw a crowd gathered at the entrance to the mountain road.
