After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

Luo was genuinely pleased.

Has the storyline already reached the North Sea Secret Realm so quickly?

She kept thinking about when to take Xiao Hei to retrieve what belonged to it. The sect really understood Zhenzhen too well!

Luo Huanzhen accepted the imperial edict and hopped back to Zhiyun Peak.

Beside the Little Cold Pool.

Sensing the familiar presence approaching, the black dragon with two small bumps on its head emerged from the water with a splash.

Luo Huanzhen squatted down and patted its head, then took out a piece of peach soft candy and a piece of candied hawthorn from the small bag hanging on his body.

The black dragon's lower body was submerged in the water, with only its large head showing. It opened its mouth and said, "Ah."

Luo Huanzhen never forgets to bring a portion of food back for his friends whenever he buys food.

She threw the candied hawthorns and soft candies into the black dragon's mouth, then sat down on a small rock on the shore and ate them herself.

She swung her legs as she ate and talked to the Xuanlin Jiao.

Luo Huanzhen: "Little Black, do you want to know what your race is?"

Chew, chew, chew.

Black Dragon nodded, staring at Luo Huanzhen with a curious expression.

Chew, chew, chew.

Luo Huanzhen: "You are actually a very powerful ancient demon clan, the Ink Scale Flood Dragon clan. You can transform into a dragon in the future. The North Sea Secret Realm is your true home. Your family left you with precious bloodline inheritance and legacy there."

"You might even see your family members inside. These kinds of secret realms are usually guarded by the remnants of powerful family members. Would you like to go and see them? The sect is going to the North Sea Secret Realm in three days. You'll really have a chance to go. I'll take you home!"

The black dragon's enormous vertical pupils suddenly turned round.

Home?!

It has a home!

Go home! Go home!

The black dragon nodded vigorously, its tail tip slapping against the water's surface repeatedly, expressing its joy.

Water splashed everywhere, and even soaked Luo Huanzhen.

Luo Huanzhen, with his wet bangs, scooped water with his little hands and splashed it on the black dragon while giggling.

I've had enough fun.

Luo Huan returned to the cabin to prepare the things he needed for his training trip.

Luo Zhenhuan brought one hundred bottles of top-grade healing pills.

Luo Zhenhuan also brought a hundred bottles of top-grade Qi Condensation Pills.

My master won't be back for another two months. By then, I should have already returned to the sect from the North Sea Secret Realm, right?

Luo Huanzhen sat on the bed for a while and decided to leave a letter for his master, telling him that he had gone to the North Sea Secret Realm to send Xiao Hei home.

She sat at the table, grabbed a calligraphy brush, dipped it in the gold-flecked ink beside her, and began to write on the shimmering paper on the table.

These are all top-quality materials.

Luminous paper is very flexible and extremely difficult to damage; gold-flecked ink is a kind of ink that can emit a fragrance and release spiritual energy.

Both are materials for drawing talismans. Yun Yao gave Luo Huan a bunch so she could use them for writing and drawing as a hobby.

Luo Zhen racked his brains to think.

Finally, a letter appeared with round, crooked characters and small drawings.

[Zhenzhen sent (Black Dragon) to the (small house) in the Northern (Sea Wave) Secret Realm. (Don't worry about the (pretty little man) and (long-bearded old man)]

Luo was quite satisfied.

She cast another spell to ensure that it wouldn't be taken by any cultivator other than Yun Yao and Duan Qianchui before climbing off the table and going back to bed to sleep.

……

the other side.

Zhao Qing was outside Su Mingyue's cave, and he picked some beautiful pink star flowers to give to her.

They called for a long time, but there was no response from inside; it seemed that no one was there.

He stood there, feeling somewhat dejected.

He hadn't been able to run into Mingyue for the past few days. Even though the sect was so small, he had no idea where she had gone.

This flower only blooms for three hours.

It is slowly withering away.

Zhao Qing sighed and turned to leave.

Inside the cave.

Su Mingyue stood behind the stone door separated by a wall, and breathed a sigh of relief as the noise outside disappeared.

She was getting a little annoyed.

Zhao Qing's recent overly attentive behavior is not a good thing for her.

There are many other senior and junior brothers in the sect. If he gets too close, it will affect how others perceive her. She doesn't want them to misunderstand her and distance themselves from her.

Moreover, Zhao Qing has recently caused quite a stir because of Liu Rumei's annulment of their engagement. Although Zhao Qing's invitation to the world did not involve her, he only said that he felt sorry for Liu Rumei, but people in the sect who had witnessed the sect competition couldn't help but think that she was the one in question.

That's why Su Mingyue has been avoiding Zhao Qing these past few days.

She needs to state her position and make her stance clear.

Just then, a voice rang out again outside the cave—

"Mingyue, are you there?"

It was Elder Danhong's voice.

Su Mingyue quickly tidied her clothes, opened the door, and walked out with a well-behaved and happy expression.

"Elder Danhong!"

"Um, I need to talk to you about something. Come on in."

Elder Danhong took Mingyue's hand, and together they walked into the cave.

After closing the cave, Elder Danhong set up many barriers as usual, and then carefully explained the next steps to Su Mingyue.

Su Mingyue gripped her clothes tightly, feeling her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of her chest.

"Me, I'll take her spiritual root and dantian?"

Elder Danhong stared intently at her: "You don't want it?"

Su Mingyue bit her lip: "I...I'm scared..."

Elder Danhong said softly, "Mingyue, this is your chance to become a true cultivator. I knew your spiritual root was fake the first time I touched it. You can't stay a fake cultivator forever."

Su Mingyue's face turned deathly pale.

She stared at Elder Danhong in disbelief, inwardly cursing Lin Yichen for being so unreliable.

The spiritual root is growing so poorly. Didn't he say he had invited a powerful medical cultivator?

Elder Danhong quickly comforted her, "Mingyue, don't be afraid. I've always treated you like my own daughter. You're the child I pulled back from the brink of death. Do you believe me? You, you call me 'Mother,' and Mother will get you the best spiritual root and the best dantian."

Elder Danhong spoke and looked very cautiously.

She really likes Su Mingyue.

When she was young, she met a man she admired and even planned to get pregnant with his child. However, neither she nor her daughter was accepted or recognized by that man.

He cruelly killed the child and declared that he would never see her again.

If her daughter hadn't died and had been born and grown up safely, she would surely be as beautiful and radiant as Mingyue now, and very lovable.

Su Mingyue's eyes trembled as she looked at Elder Danhong, finally leaning against her and whispering, "Mother."

"Good child! Your mother is here." Elder Danhong said gently, her expression moved. "The North Sea Secret Realm is about to open, and Luo Zhen can participate exceptionally. However, you are still lacking in cultivation level. Your mother has some pills here. Take them first, and you can ask your third senior brother for some later."

"These pills are precious and difficult to refine, but if it's Aqing, he'll definitely be willing to give them to you. Take them all first and raise your cultivation level to the Nascent Soul stage. Then your mother will take you to the North Sea Secret Realm. Once you obtain her spiritual root and dantian, you can become my disciple."

"From now on, in private, you can call me Mother, but in public, I will be your Second Master. Is that alright?"

"Okay. Thank you, Mother..."

Elder Danhong, hearing Su Mingyue call her name, hugged her tightly in her arms once again.

Su Mingyue gently rested her head on Dan Hong's shoulder, lowered her eyelids, and slightly curved the corners of her mouth:

Luo Huanzhen.

Your spiritual root and dantian, your unparalleled talent will soon be mine.

Then we'll see how smug you are.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Luo Huanzhen got up very early and gathered at the entrance of Xuantian Sect.

There are requirements to enter the North Sea Secret Realm, so there are far fewer disciples participating compared to the Spirit Mountain Secret Realm, which has almost no requirements; there are fewer than a hundred.

Everyone was very excited, and they gathered in twos and threes to discuss and talk about it.

Only Luo Zhenhuan stood there all alone.

Many people around her were looking at her with admiration, envy, and caution in their eyes.

But no one approached.

People who are too talented can make others feel intimidated and hesitant to approach them.

However, Luo is not alone.

The bulging thing in her arms was none other than Little Black, who had shrunk and was now hiding in her embrace.

It opened its round eyes wide and looked around with curiosity.

……
