Chapter 716: Chapter 712: Spiritual Artifact

She was increasingly certain that this was not mere luck.

There must be some special treasure, or a secret technique.

Shen Hanyue laughed, ”Hehe, Senior Sister, is it the Princely Heir?”

Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly.

Shen Hanyue’s spirit lifted, ”The Princely Heir, he...”

”He’s still at the Prince Qing Mansion, just using special means to lend me a helping hand.”

”Indeed worthy of being the Princely Heir.” Shen Hanyue sighed, ”It’s a pity he cannot yet ascend. Otherwise, he would have already made a name for himself across the world.”

She felt regretful that Chu Zhiyuan could not ascend yet.

One step late, every step faster is lost.

When the Princely Heir ascends, it might be ten years from now. By then, they’ll be masters of the Transformation Realm, or even the Divinity Transformation Realm.

At that time, the cultivation gap will be immense, and the Princely Heir would have to look up to them.

Trying to catch up will not be quick.

Xiao Ruoling smiled.

The matter of avatars must never be shared, even with junior sisters.

”Senior Sister, after entering the Grotto Heaven this time, next time we can still go in!”

”When is the next time?”

”A year later.”

”In a year...it might not be possible.” Xiao Ruoling said softly, ”It’s not just us cultivating, the others are working hard too.”

Moreover, she felt the other true disciples had better innate qualities and deeper foundations.

If it weren’t for Chu Zhiyuan’s help, comprehending the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique, the two of them would have been far left behind.

Even now, they barely manage to keep up.

It’s hard to surpass the progress of others, catching up is not easy either.

Shen Hanyue enthusiastically said, ”We have these spirit fruits, cultivation can advance rapidly.”

”Taking spirit fruits comes at a cost.” Xiao Ruoling lightly frowned.

Shen Hanyue said, ”Don’t worry about that for now. First, let’s increase our cultivation.”

”What if future improvement slows? Then it would be a time when heaven and earth do not respond.”

Taking spirit fruits can quickly improve one’s cultivation, but might slow future progress.

What is saved now will need to be repaid in multiples in the future.

Spirit fruits enhance cultivation, but not through step-by-step self-training, which can lead to an unstable foundation, affecting subsequent progress.

An unstable foundation affects comprehension and future progress.

If one’s understanding is extraordinary, this might be overlooked, as comprehension can make up for it.

But she knew her own comprehension wasn’t strong; it was Chu Zhiyuan who truly excelled.

Thus, she always took a cautious approach to consuming spirit fruits, believing moderation was necessary, and excess should be avoided.

Yet, looking at Shen Hanyue who was unconcerned, eating freely and advancing quickly.

The spirit fruits they obtained were enough to rapidly advance to a Perfect Qi Transformation Realm.

Shen Hanyue, seeing her hesitance, advised, ”Senior Sister, don’t think too much. Perhaps by then, we’ll have unexpected encounters.”

”Unexpected encounters...”

”Right. If we hadn’t had unexpected encounters, we couldn’t have made it to where we are now. Trust your luck.”

”You...” Xiao Ruoling found herself momentarily speechless.

Making it this far was indeed due to luck. Without the good fortune of meeting the Princely Heir, she wouldn’t be where she was now.

Yet, pure reliance on luck is the least stable approach.

It is also inadvisable to rely too much on the Princely Heir; otherwise, she’d become a burden to him, unable to help.

”Senior Sister...”

”Alright, let’s quickly improve our realms then.” Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly.

Suddenly, she realized something.

To assist Chu Zhiyuan, she still needed a high enough realm.

This world respects strength; the same is true in the Profound Yin Palace.

If one’s realm is low, no matter how high understanding or good luck is, nobody listens.

For her voice to matter and to assist Chu Zhiyuan, she must have strong enough cultivation.

Now, raising cultivation is the most important, other things can wait.

She thought of this and smiled at Shen Hanyue, ”Junior Sister’s words awakened me.”

Shen Hanyue was delighted, ”It’s great that Senior Sister can change her mind!”

She had been trying to persuade Xiao Ruoling, who was unmoved. Unexpectedly, after continuous effort, Xiao Ruoling finally changed her mind.

Phoenix Dynasty

Imperial City

Twelfth Princess Mansion

Rear Garden

Amidst green trees, flowers bloomed in abundance, competing in beauty and color.

Pollen attracting butterflies, the fragrance lingered.

The flower garden surrounded a small lake, like a round mirror reflecting blue sky and white clouds.

On the lake, in a red pavilion, sat a graceful lady.

Her white attire was like snow, her face extremely beautiful, cool and indifferent, with eyes like cold springs.

On the table were stacks of documents.

Two elegant maidservants attended nearby.

One took a document from the left stack to hand to her, then placed the reviewed one on the right stack.

The other occasionally offered tea or presented a slice of fruit.

The exquisite lady focused on the documents, ignoring the beautiful scene outside the pavilion and the fish swimming below.

From far, a charming girl approached lightly, turning several angles along the lake corridor, arriving outside the pavilion, and bowed gracefully, ”Your Highness, Miss Li has returned.”

”Let her come over.” The exquisite lady said indifferently.

”Yes.”

...

Li Yuzhen came floating in, appearing slightly weather-beaten, entered the pavilion, bringing a faint fragrance, and clasped her hands, ”Your Highness.”

The exquisite lady looked up at her, ”Why have you returned? What is the matter again?”

Li Yuzhen explained the situation’s origin.

The exquisite lady frowned slightly, murmuring, ”What blade?”

Li Yuzhen withdrew two Autumn Water Divine Blades from her sleeve, presenting them to the exquisite lady.

The Twelfth Princess of Phoenix Dynasty, Li Miaotan, didn’t rush to take the blades but glanced at them first, murmuring, ”These are the Autumn Water Divine Blades?”

”Your Highness, these two blades are quite mysterious, but I don’t know in what way.”

”Place them on the table.” Li Miaotan said.

Li Yuzhen quickly placed them on the table.

Li Miaotan waved her hand.

Two elegant maidens moved the stacks of documents on the table, clearing the stone surface.

Li Yuzhen watched her curiously.

Suddenly, Li Miaotan’s jade hand revealed a long sword, longer than usual swords.

The sword had faintly visible intricate patterns, radiating a layer of fiery brilliance.

She gently flicked the sword tip, lifting a flying knife into the air, flipping it.

Then she lifted another flying knife, and the two collided in midair.

A flash of cold light.

The two blades seemed to emit deadly gleams, containing hints of killing intent.

She let the blades fall straight, embedding into the stone table, as effortlessly as slicing into tofu.

”Such remarkable flying knives.” Li Yuzhen couldn’t help but praise.

These knives were astonishing in sharpness alone.

Li Miaotan, however, kept her gaze fixed on the flying knives, her eyes like water.

Li Yuzhen looked at her, then the flying knives, out of curiosity.

She held them and sensed their extraordinariness, yet couldn’t discern exactly why.

She silently reckoned that it was no wonder the Prince Consort wanted them to absorb spiritual energy from the Outer Realm Battlefield to increase their power.

These blades were indeed worth refining and cultivating.

Li Miaotan’s bright eyes suddenly flickered, her gaze shimmering, with a soft hmph, ”Indeed peculiar.”

Li Yuzhen promptly asked, ”Your Highness, what peculiarities?”

”They have spiritual nature.” Li Miaotan murmured, ”They are spiritual artifacts.”

”Spiritual artifacts?” Li Yuzhen exclaimed in surprise, ”Could it be?”

She knew the preciousness of spiritual artifacts.

She silently considered that if it was the Eldest or Second Prince of Jade Dynasty, possessing spiritual artifacts might be possible, but certainly not the Prince Consort.

Li Miaotan gave her a sidelong glance.

Li Yuzhen quickly responded, ”The Prince Consort is marginalized, even the Emperor dislikes him; how could he have spiritual artifacts?”
