Qingyu sits next to Elder Guanyou of the Yanue Sect and Pang Xiangxiang, feeling an inexplicable sense of unease.
She was just a female servant, but this time she was invited to the ascending realm. Accompanied by the two elders of the sect, Pang Xiangxiang and Gu Yuanchang, she attended the engagement ceremony of the Young Master.
Although this was an exciting event that could make a person tremble with delight, she felt rather nervous and restless.
Could it be that because the lady has left, the Young Master has entrusted her to take her place?
Young Master Yijiang is about to get engaged with someone else, and she knows that even if she replaces her, it's just a concubine.
She finds it hard to understand why the lady would leave. Even as a concubine to the Young Master, that is soaring to the branches of a plum tree, becoming someone of high status, at least she wouldn't have to worry about the resources for cultivation.
The Waste God Sect is the first martial arts sect in the ascending realm, and the first sect in the three-level Heaven Star Continent.
Moreover, when the lady left, she had already achieved full foundation refinement. If she hadn't left, she would have definitely achieved successful foundation refinement here.
Unfortunately, her looks are too poor, far inferior to the lady's. Otherwise, even as a concubine, she might have had a place of her own.
Now that she has also achieved full foundation refinement, after the engagement ceremony of the Young Master is over, should she seek an opportunity to ask the Young Master for a pill of foundation establishment?
When Qingyu thinks of this, she suddenly feels as if there is something she has not thought of.
The lady left when she was at the ninth layer of Qi Refinement, and it was because she came to the Ascension Realm upon the invitation of the Young Master.
Now she is also at the ninth layer of Qi Refinement...
Why must they wait until they reach the ninth layer of Qi Refinement before coming to the Ascending Realm?
"Elder Pang, have you practiced the Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique?" Qingyu suddenly asked.
Pang Xiangxiang is staring at Yijiang in a daze, thinking about something in her mind. When Qingyu suddenly asks this question, she unconsciously replies, "Yes."
"Elder Pang, it shouldn't be too difficult to reach the true Dan realm by cultivating the Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique, right? Why did you stay at foundation establishment? Will I stay at foundation establishment as well?"
After learning that she would become the concubine of the Young Master, Qingyu was somewhat apprehensive, but when speaking with Pang Xiangxiang, she still had some confidence.
When the old patriarch was alive, Pang Xiangxiang had a very high status.
The old patriarch is not around anymore, even simple errands now require the participation of Elder Pang. It's clear that Elder Pang's status has plummeted.
Pang Xiangxiang snapped back to reality, glanced at Qingyu, and sensed the look in Qingyu's eyes that signified her impending role as the Young Master's wife. She smiled coldly in her heart.
She's still daydreaming.
Cultivating the Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique and wanting to establish foundation? Does she think that every practitioner of the Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique can be like her Pang Xiangxiang?
"You'll soon find out why I've just stayed at foundation establishment." Pang Xiangxiang's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
Qingyu being able to become the personal servant of Guan Chaozi naturally has some abilities.
Her ability is to observe the mood and color of others. She had already noticed the slight disdain in Pang Xiangxiang's eyes just now.
"Aunt Pang, is it that the Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique cannot be cultivated to a higher level?"
When she asked this question, Qingyu's slight sense of superiority in her heart disappeared, replaced by a sense of unease.
When she speaks again, even the way she addresses her is different.
The lady also practices the Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique and was invited here at the ninth layer. Then, the lady secretly ran away.
Now she is also at the ninth level of the Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique and was invited here.
She did not run away; she simply felt that cultivating the Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique had become somewhat strange lately.
"Remember my words: take good care of the Young Master at night, and don't waste your time thinking about things that are not necessary."
"If the Young Master finds you useful and wants to bring you again next time, you will have the opportunity to establish a foundation."
This sentence finally made Qingyu realize that the Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique is indeed improper. She immediately stood up and wanted to kneel down to Pang Xiangxiang.
Pang Xiangxiang hurriedly grabbed Qingyu: "Don't you want to live? This is the main hall of the Waste God Palace."
Qingyu raised her head, tears streaming down her face:
"Aunt Pang, please tell me what's going on? Why did the lady run away?"
Pang Xiangxiang sighed:
"Qingyu, how are your relations with your lady?"
Qingyu quickly said:
"Before the lady escaped, we were still good..."
Pang Xiangxiang laughed coldly:
"Good? If she is good, she wouldn't give you the Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique to cultivate."
After the murder of Yi Wan Dao, Pang Xiangxiang knew that her good days in Yan Yue Sect were over. From then on, for her, it was either to leave Yan Yue Sect or to subject herself to the new patriarch.
Now that Yan Yue Sect is in a state of power struggle, if Yi Jiang were not the disciple of the new patriarch Jiao Cha from Waste God Palace, he would not have qualified for her and Elder Gu to send Qingyu over.
As for continuing to serve as the sect master of Yan Yue Sect, even if Yi Jiang's master is the sect master of Waste God Palace, it would not be enough.
So for Pang Xiangxiang, there's no harm in telling Qingyu the truth.
Qingyu's tears were streaming down her face as she looked at Pang Xiangxiang and said:
"Aunt Pang, I helped Qiong executor speak up before, and Miss probably has some misunderstanding about me..."
Pang Xiangxiang said in a indifferent tone:
"The Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique is a cultivation technique meant for others, a transfered martial art. We brought you over because your cultivation has reached the stage of full foundation refinement and it's time to transfer."
"So, what does it mean that you say your lady transferred this technique to you?"
Qingyu felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head. She finally understood why the lady had to flee Yan Yue Sect, and why she came over to pass the technique to her before leaving.
This is what she meant by scolding her again after she ran away.
She unconsciously glanced around, the first thing that came to her mind was to run away.
Pang Xiangxiang knew what Qingyu meant, and said indifferently:
"Your escape is a dead end, and if this cultivation technique doesn't combine with the master to transfer it, it will result in burning of one's own blood and death."
"Even if you manage to survive, you will be like a female dog, searching for mating opportunities everywhere."
Qingyu shivered.
"Aunt Pang, please save me."
Pang Xiangxiang actually had some sympathy for Qingyu, as she had cultivated this technique and knew how terrifying it was.
Faced with Qingyu's plea, she could only shake her head:
"I can't save you, only one person can save you."
"Who?" Qingyu could no longer control the fear in her heart and asked urgently.
Since she came to the Path of Cultivation, she no longer saw herself as a servant. Her goal was to become someone of high status, a immortal revered by countless ordinary people.
Just as she was about to realize her goal, a bucket of cold water suddenly woke her up.
"It's the Young Master, as long as you can please him during your double refinement with the Young Master, he might not forget you. Then he will also voluntarily help you leave some qi, essence, and spirit to keep you alive."
"Aunt Pang, then what..." Qingyu's face was pale.
Pang Xiangxiang smiled and laughed mockingly:
"Me? That's exactly what I did. I tried my best to please Yi Wan Dao in bed, and he not only left me a life but also established a foundation for me."
Yi Wan Dao is not dead; she dare not say such a thing.
Yi Wan Dao is dead, so she naturally has nothing to fear.
No matter how much Yi Wan Dao had bared his heart and soul to her in the past, she would never forget this deep grudge and great resentment.
It's not Yi Wan Dao; she wouldn't have fallen to this state. No matter how many cultivation resources there are, they can't help her break through to the True Dan realm.
The reason is that when Yi Wan Dao took away her True Refinement Energy of the Great Phoenix Vermilion Cloud Technique, he also took away her foundation.
She established a foundation, but it was a false foundation. As for breaking through to the True Dan realm, she will never even think about it in her life.
With such a great grudge, she not only couldn't seek revenge, but had to flatter Yi Wan Dao everywhere, seeking opportunities to survive.
That's why she was able to live until now, because she worked hard to make herself subservient to Yi Wan Dao like a dog.
In Yan Yue Sect, she was taken care of, but so what?
The care she received in Yan Yue Sect was bought with her own foundation and the dignity that is less than that of a dog, which she exchanged with her entire life.
If possible, she would never accept such care.
Deep in her heart, she is very grateful to Ding Huan.
Not Ding Huan; without him, she would not be able to exact her revenge.
Not Ding Huan; otherwise, she would not be able to leave Yan Yue Sect, as Yi Wan Dao would kill her.
After completing this escort mission, she decided to leave Yan Yue Sect.
"But Aunt Pang, what about Guan Chaozi? She won't have any problems, will she?" Qingyu was not satisfied.
Pang Xiangxiang looked at Qingyu with some sympathy and said:
"In theory, as a maid, you should be able to read the mood and observe the color. Why can't you see that Ding Huan is a capable person?"
Guan Chaozi is fine because Ding Huan helped her. Now, she is in Lan Xing Sect, living better than anyone else."
She dislikes Qingyu in her heart. You say that you have already known Ding Huan, who has such a good backing, but you don't use it, and instead, slander your backup.
Now it's over, you see that Ding Huan you looked down upon not only killed the sect master of Yan Yue Sect but also established a new sect.
He even had the opportunity to save you, but you offended him so severely that he's absolutely against you.
Qingyu's lips turned blue, and fine sweat appeared on her forehead. She muttered to herself.
"I didn't know he was so capable. If I had known..."
Qingyu did not continue speaking. She truly didn't know? How could Ding Huan, who led so many people through the Great Ravine Valley and the Lost Marshes, not be capable?
It's just that she dislikes Ding Huan, a common ordinary mortal cook, in her heart. Moreover, this cook also took away her family's cook's livelihood.
But Pang Xiangxiang suddenly thought of something.
And as she thought more, it seemed more and more likely, and her eyes grew increasingly excited.
Ding Huan can save Guan Chaozi, but can he also save her?
If Ding Huan can repair her Dao Foundation, she can also cross into the True Dan realm, and even stronger realms.
No, after returning to the Path of Cultivation, she must find Ding Huan. No matter what, not searching for Ding Huan and asking him would leave her feeling dissatisfied.
Ding Huan has established Lan Xing Sect, right? She will join Lan Xing Sect. She will make spiritual stones for the sect, which is her specialty.
The elder of the Ritual Department of Waste God Sect was loudly announcing:
"Today is the joyous day of my Waste God Sect and the Lo Sheng Palace. My Waste God Sect's disciple, Yi Jiang, will marry the disciple of the palace master of Lo Sheng Palace, Han Xiao Nǚ. They will be forever united, sharing the same path and seeking enlightenment together."
"Now please welcome the Waste God Sect's disciple, Yi Jiang, and the Lo Sheng Palace's disciple, Han Xiao Nǚ..."
With the elder's voice fading, Yi Jiang and Han Xiao Nǚ, both wearing new bride and groom attire, respectively walked slowly into the grand hall from the left and right sides.
