Ye Xiaofan heard the words but remained expressionless, nearly flawless as he said, "Senior Sister must be joking. How could Junior Brother ever be wary of Senior Sister’s blessing? It’s already a great honor for Junior Brother to be invited up to the peak by Senior Sister. It’s just that things happened suddenly, and I haven’t yet managed to recover from the shock. If Junior Brother has done anything wrong, I hope Senior Sister can forgive me."

Luo Qingxian, hearing this, smiled charmingly, a smile that seemed to outshine the world, seemingly not paying much attention to the matter.

However, that smile made Ye Xiaofan secretly furrow his brow. It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with her smile, but rather that Luo Qingxian’s smile was indescribably beautiful. Few male cultivators could resist it, and Ye Xiaofan feared he might also succumb.

At this moment, he had internally defined this type of smile as ’the world’s most gentle, most stunning, and most dangerous’ smile.

After Luo Qingxian smiled charmingly, she took a sip of tea from her cup, leaving a faint rouge on the rim, then raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Ye Xiaofan with meaningful depth, saying, "Junior Brother Ye is so cautious, his words nearly flawless. But Junior Brother misunderstood; Senior Sister invited Junior Brother up, not just for old times’ sake."

Ye Xiaofan’s pupils slightly contracted upon hearing these words—was he finally getting to the topic?

At this moment, he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, desperately hoping she would get to the point.

"Senior Sister may speak freely. If there’s any need for Junior Brother’s assistance, Senior Sister can just say it," Ye Xiaofan replied seriously.

Feel free to speak first and let me hear it. If it’s nothing significant, I’ll consider it a favor to the Sect Leader of Divine Sword Sect, a favor for you. If it’s beyond my capacity, I can only keep my distance.

However, Luo Qingxian was as sharp as snow; the other’s words seemed flawless, but actually said nothing.

If there’s a need, feel free to speak, yet there was no subsequent sentence—Junior Brother will go all out, or it’s a duty.

This was clearly the intelligent way of conversation—do let me know if there’s anything, but whether I’ll help is uncertain.

"Junior Brother Ye, I think you have misunderstood. Senior Sister didn’t invite Junior Brother for urgent matters but quite the opposite. Senior Sister wants to give you two immense opportunities and one huge blessing."

The huge blessing naturally referred to the arrangement of Ye Xiaofan and Ning Xianyi for a hundred years of happiness. Gaining such a stunning girl wouldn’t be a bad thing for male cultivators anywhere.

As for the two great opportunities, they remained unknown.

Of course, for Ye Xiaofan, both great opportunities and the big blessing were unclear—he didn’t know what she referred to.

"Oh? Two great opportunities? One huge blessing? What does Senior Sister mean?" Ye Xiaofan pretended to be surprised, but inside he was as calm as still water.

Is there really such a good thing in the world? I’m afraid the scarier the item, the scarier the matter to be exchanged for it.

However, Ye Xiaofan thought this in his heart but naturally wouldn’t say it out loud. Instead, he wanted to see what the other intended.

Luo Qingxian heard him and smiled gracefully, almost causing Ye Xiaofan’s face to line darkly—the other’s smile was easily disruptive.

As Ye Xiaofan controlled himself, Luo Qingxian didn’t reply directly but asked instead, "Junior Brother Ye, I heard that when you gathered Spiritual Essence, you birthed Ten Spirit Pearls. Is this true?"

Ye Xiaofan listened to her words, without feeling any surprise. On the day he gathered the Ten Spiritual Essences, countless Divine Sword Sect disciples witnessed the scene—it couldn’t be hidden from the Sect Leader’s daughter, especially when she was the new owner of the Second Holy Peak.

"To answer Senior Sister, it is indeed true," Ye Xiaofan thought slightly.

Luo Qingxian heard him and raised her thin eyebrows, smiling subtly, then her jade hand slightly caressed her elegant dress as a mysterious ancient book appeared inexplicably on the tea table.

Ye Xiaofan’s gaze couldn’t help but fix there. The ancient book’s pages were yellowing, seemingly aged beyond reckoning, yet no writing could be seen on the surface.

"Senior Sister Luo, what is this...?" Intuition told Ye Xiaofan that what lay before him was far from ordinary.

Without waiting for Luo Qingxian to speak, Luo Qingchen, standing by, glanced lightly and said indifferently, "It’s the ’He Yuan Technique.’"

"’He Yuan Technique’? What is that?" Ye Xiaofan’s pupils suddenly contracted upon hearing this, and he couldn’t help but look at Luo Qingxian.

The latter, however, gave a mysterious smile, then slowly began to explain.

After hearing Luo Qingxian’s explanation, Ye Xiaofan felt as though his whole being wasn’t well, his eyes reflecting waves of shock.

The ’He Yuan Technique,’ as the name suggests, is a heavenly manual created specifically for cultivators who have gathered Ten Spiritual Essences. It’s called a secret technique rather than a cultivation technique or martial technique because it’s a terrifying secret technique, useful only to cultivators who gather Ten Spiritual Essences.

The function of the ’He Yuan Technique’ is to integrate the Ten Spirit Pearls, merging the Spiritual Essence into one.

Of course, not all unparalleled prodigies who gather Ten Spirit Essences can completely merge all ten pearls, but undoubtedly, the more they merge, the more terrifying their future growth potential. If they can merge all ten into one, it would be astonishingly astonishing.

"According to legend, throughout history, no one has thoroughly merged the Ten Spirit Pearls into one. Even the creator of this secret technique only gathered nine, which shook countless ages."
