Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Just now he saw the worry on Xueyue's face. It was obvious that she knew something, but she was interrupted by her master before she could finish her words.

After hearing the young man's question, Xueyue sighed slowly and told him what she knew: "Junior brother, the situation in the Northern Territory is very chaotic right now."

"confusion?"

The young man whispered these two words, and suddenly his mind emerged with the conversation between his master and the peak masters and elders that he overheard yesterday.

"Well, it's not just ordinary chaos."

Speaking of this topic, Xueyue's face lost its smile and became serious: "Junior brother, you have lost your memory and may not have much impression of these. Then I will try to tell you briefly."

"The world we live in is called the Five Realms, and the land we stand on is the Northern Realm among the Five Realms, located in the north of the world."

Xueyue stepped lightly on the ground below her feet: "It is said that long ago, the five regions were once a whole, with each region sharing what it had and being able to travel freely."

"But at some point, a barrier called 'boundary wall' suddenly appeared at the junction of the five realms, isolating the five realms. Mortal cultivators were blocked by the boundary wall and could no longer travel to other realms."

The young man nodded.

"The boundary wall has existed for countless years, and people have long been accustomed to its existence. However, in recent years, rumors have spread from somewhere that the boundary wall will dissipate within a few years, and the five regions will then return to being one."

Xueyue looked worried: "This statement has spread widely in the Northern Territory cultivator world, and it has also encouraged the rampant evil sect cultivators. In recent years, evil sect cultivators have emerged in various parts of the Northern Territory, and have had various conflicts with the sects and dynasties. Many cities have been destroyed, causing great suffering to the people."

"Even in the northern land where our Xueling Ruins is located, there are traces of many demonic monks."

When she said this, the young man also understood her previous worries: "Senior sister, are you worried that Master will be attacked by the demon monks when he walks outside?"

To the boy's surprise, Xueyue shook her head gently and said, "No, no matter how many demon sect monks there are, they cannot threaten our master who is a peak ninth realm monk."

The peak of the ninth realm!

There was a flash of shock in the boy's eyes. This was the first time he learned about his master's level of cultivation.

Even though he had lost his memory, he also knew the realm divisions of cultivators from yesterday's practice. The ninth realm, the Tribulation Realm, was already the pinnacle of this world.

One more step and you will be able to attain enlightenment and ascend to the upper realm!

"So... what are you worried about, Senior Sister?"

The young man couldn't help but become more curious about what Xueyue was worried about just now.

"I am worried that other sects will take advantage of the chaos to harm our Master."

Xue Yue's icy blue eyes were filled with worry: "Although our Xuelingxu is one of the four top sects in the Northern Territory, we have been living deep in the North since ancient times and rarely interact with other sects."

"Ever since the news of the boundary wall's imminent dissipation spread among the cultivators in the Northern Territory, many sects and dynasties have begun to look for ways out for their own forces, choosing to form alliances and jointly face the impact of the tide of the times."

"But our Snow Spirit Ruins is in an awkward situation. The North is located in the northernmost part of the Five Regions. Since ancient times, it has been deeply affected by heavy snowstorms, which has created a landform of ice and snow. The spiritual energy in many places is extremely thin. In addition, the harsh environment with four seasons like winter. Although the sect dynasties in the North are not weaker than other sect dynasties in strength, their number is much less than that of sect dynasties in other places."

In other words, not only are the demonic monks stirring up trouble, but even the major sects and dynasties of the righteous path are also ready to make a move?

The young man understood everything immediately and immediately realized the dangerous situation.

"May I ask what the four top sects are that Senior Sister mentioned?" he asked.

Xueyue explained: "The so-called four top sects are the four overlord-level forces in the Northern Territory. They are the four most powerful beings in the Northern Territory's sect dynasty."

"Our Xuelingxu is among them. The other three are the Tongbei Sect in the west, the Thirteen Hidden Clans in the Star Moon Sea in the east, and the Canglei Holy Sect in the center of the North Territory."

"Is there no overlord-level force in the South?"

"No."

Xue Yue shook her head slightly: "The sects and dynasties there are fighting each other, and the Thirteen Hidden Clans and the Cang Lei Holy Sect are interfering in secret, so there is no overlord-level force that can suppress everything."

The young man suddenly said, "Senior Sister, you also said that the North has been barren since ancient times, with constant natural disasters. Even if the boundary wall really dissipates in a few years as rumored, those sects and dynasties will only compete for regions rich in resources, or even move towards the other four regions. Why choose the North?"

Xueyue did not explain it to him directly, but used a metaphor: "If you are standing on a single bridge, with a bottomless abyss under your feet, and a rich and fertile new world in front of you, and a barren but lurking forces of unknown foes behind you, would you choose to ignore the possible backstabs behind you and plunge into the new world in front of you, or would you choose to eliminate the forces behind you first and then explore the new world?"

Seeing the increasingly solemn expression on the boy's face, Xue Yue smiled bitterly: "You see, this has nothing to do with the amount of resources, but the mere existence of our Xuelingxu has put all kinds of pressure on them, like shackles."

"In short, you don't have to worry about Master's safety. No one in the Northern Territory can threaten Master right now. As for the rumor that the boundary wall has dissipated, we don't know whether it is true or not. Even if it suddenly dissipates one day, it won't have much impact on us at Xuelingxu. We just need to be wary of the other three top sects."

Perhaps realizing that she had talked about too many heavy topics today, Xueyue quickly changed the subject.

But the young man secretly remembered it in his heart.

Chapter 293 Failure

"This bottle is a spirit-gathering pill. Swallowing it during cultivation can slowly improve the quality of your spiritual energy."

"This bottle is the Soul-Restoring Pill. After swallowing it, you can quickly restore the spiritual energy in your body."

"This bottle is the Gu Yuan Dan. If you swallow it after your cultivation has broken through, it can help consolidate your cultivation."

"This bottle is a fasting pill. If you swallow one, you won't feel hungry for ten days."

"..."

Xueyue introduced the elixirs brought by the white-haired woman one by one. Although the names were written on the bottles, the effects after swallowing were not indicated, so she spoke very patiently.

The young man also looked serious and wrote down the name and effect of each elixir.

After explaining the effects of all the elixirs, the girl took out a ring with an ancient appearance and placed it in the boy's hand.

"Senior Sister, what is this?" The young man looked puzzled.

"This is a storage ring."

Xueyue explained: "It is very inconvenient for you to carry so many elixirs with you, but with a storage ring, you can put them all in the storage ring and take them out when needed. It is very convenient."

As she spoke, she told the young man the method of refining the storage ring.

The method is not difficult. Just drop a drop of blood on the storage ring and then refine it with your divine mind.

The young man followed the instructions and quickly refined the storage ring.

He tried to cover the bottles of elixirs on the stone table with his divine consciousness. As his thought moved, the elixirs disappeared, and a few more bottles of elixirs appeared in the storage ring.

Xueyue blinked and suddenly remembered something: "You haven't eaten yet?"

"Not yet." The boy shook his head.

He practiced all night, and then in the morning he went to this secluded peak with Xueyue to soak in the hot springs. He has stayed there until now and has not eaten anything during this period.

However, after becoming a monk, his hunger seemed to have decreased a lot. At least until now, he has not felt hungry enough to eat.

There was a flash of light in his hand, and a bottle of elixir appeared, which was the Bigu Pill.

The girl's face darkened when she saw this: "Although the Bigu Pills are good for fighting against bacteria, they have no taste at all. It's better to just eat spiritual food directly."

As she spoke, she pulled the boy up and led him out of the courtyard: "Come on, Senior Sister will take you to eat something delicious!"

Xueyue took the young man and walked a short distance until they arrived at another small courtyard.

This is her residence.

Then Xueyue asked the boy to wait for her in the yard, and she ran to the kitchen and started to get busy.

Soon, a table full of delicious food filled with spiritual energy filled the stone table.

The young man was stunned. He didn't expect that Senior Sister Xueyue, who was naturally lively, had such great cooking skills.

"Hum..."

Xueyue brought two bowls of spiritual rice and sat down next to the boy: "Try it quickly."

The aroma of the delicious food on the table had already aroused the boy's appetite.

He didn't hesitate and picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of cooked meat and put it into his mouth.

"How is it?" The girl looked at the boy expectantly.

After chewing for a few times, the boy swallowed the cooked meat into his mouth. Facing the girl's expectant yet somewhat nervous ice-blue eyes, he smiled and nodded: "It's delicious!"

Xueyue narrowed her eyes and smiled brightly.

After finishing this sumptuous meal, Xueyue and the boy cleaned up the dishes together.

"Senior sister, do you have anything to do today?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, then asked.

Xueyue looked at the boy with a puzzled look on her face: "No, what's wrong?"

The young man said, "I would like to ask Senior Sister to accompany me to Tianxuan Peak."

"Tianxuan Peak? What are you doing there?"

Xueyue was surprised, but she soon remembered something: "Are you going to look for Senior Sister Gong Yiya?"

The boy nodded gently: "Yeah."

Gong Yiya practices the way of destiny and his methods are unpredictable. The boy wants to ask him to help him deduce his origins and see if he can recall his lost memories.

Xueyue also understood what the boy was thinking, so she nodded without hesitation and said, "Then let's go now."

……

Tianxuan Peak.

Inside a cave.

"Big sister, Big sister Xueyue from Aoxue Peak and her...younger brother came to visit and said they wanted to see you."

A voice with a rippled tone came from the divine mind transmission beside his ear, and Gong Yiya slowly opened his eyes: "It's much faster than I expected."

She sent a telepathic message: "Let them come over."

"Yes."

Soon, the white-haired, blue-eyed girl in a white dress brought the boy to the front of the cave and saw Gong Yiya standing at the door.

"Senior Sister Gongyi." The two of them saluted together.

Gong Yiya's attitude was very gentle. He smiled at the two people and said, "Come in."

After saying that, he led the two of them into the cave.

As the cave door closed, countless spiritual thoughts that were observing this place from afar were withdrawn.

On the way, Gong Yiya said to the young man in a gentle voice: "Junior brother, those disciples are just curious about you, and they don't have much ill will. Please forgive me."

She was talking about the divine thoughts that were secretly spying on the two of them as they came all the way here.

The boy shook his head: "Yeah, I know."

He also knew that his situation in Xuelingxu was very awkward. Xuelingxu only accepted women, but his master disobeyed the ancestral teachings and resisted the pressure from the peak master and elders to accept him as his disciple.

This will inevitably lead to criticism, and the boy has already prepared himself mentally.

"That's good."

Gong Yiya brought the two of them to a small pavilion in a beautiful bamboo forest.

"Brother, you came to me this time to remember something, right?"

As soon as he sat down, Gong Yiya went straight to the point.

"Yes, I came here for this matter. I wonder if it's convenient for you, senior sister?" The young man nodded slightly.

Gong Yiya naturally did not refuse: "Of course it is convenient. To be honest, I am very interested in you, Junior Brother."

There was a flash of light in her hand, and a spiritual weapon that looked like a compass appeared.

The young man had learned from Xueyue before that this spiritual compass weapon was a treasure of the way of life.

"This is 'Sixteen', my life-long spiritual weapon."

Looking at the boy's curious eyes, Gong Yiya explained.

Then she stretched out a hand and gently placed it on the boy's head: "Junior brother, empty your mind and be still."

The boy closed his eyes and did as he was told.

Gong Yiya was muttering something in a low voice, and a mysterious aura gradually emanated from her.

Her eyes were fixed on the compass in her hand, and she saw the magnetic needle in the center of the compass tremble slightly, and then slowly turn in a circle.

Gong Yiya seemed to have received some news from it. His eyes became deeper, his muttering became faster and faster, and the aura around him became stronger and stronger.

Xueyue was sitting a little further away from the two of them. She looked back and forth between the young man and Gong Yiya with concern, and clearly noticed something unusual about Gong Yiya.
