At first.
Xueluo made it clear that she only trusted Li Shuang. As for Yu Jin and the others, she wasn't even interested in talking to them.
However.
After a conversation with Yu Jin, her attitude changed significantly.
Firstly.
When Yu Jin and Yu Mo were attempting the trial, Xueluo was watching from behind. That was also the closest they had ever come to success.
They were so close to regaining their freedom, and she had a good impression of these two young girls.
Now, after all these years, the young girls had grown into peak powerhouses. Xueluo felt a sense of gratification.
Secondly.
Yu Jin's attitude towards the demon race also moved her.
She could feel how much Yu Jin cared about her sister.
Yu Mo had, in a way, died due to the demon race's betrayal of their alliance, yet Yu Jin hadn't been blinded by hatred and was trying to seek out the truth.
Such breadth of vision was not something ordinary people possessed.
Therefore.
Xueluo was willing to share her thoughts in advance.
Within the Langya Sect, a vast collection of secret manuals and cultivation methods from various sects was gathered, encompassing everything.
It would be a waste if only disciples of the Langya Sect and Sword Sect used them.
Originally, the Langya Sect was plagued by demonic seeds, harming all living beings.
Now, these things should be given back to all living beings.
"Senior, your righteousness is profound," Yu Jin said, clasping her hands in gratitude.
The actions of the Langya Sect at that time had caused a long period of discontinuity in the entire cultivation world, taking tens of thousands of years to recover.
The secret manuals from that era had all vanished into the river of time.
Now, with Xueluo willing to bring these out, the human race's power was likely to see a significant overall increase.
"As for this merit system, I'll trouble the City Lord to set it up. My only request is that Li Shuang participate in it. I hope she can have a supervisory position," Xueluo said.
Li Shuang initially thought there was nothing for her to do.
To her surprise, Xueluo brought the topic back to her.
Li Shuang was about to say something.
"That's simple," Yu Jin agreed right away.
Li Shuang reluctantly closed her mouth.
Never mind.
Her current identity was more like a bridge between the two sides.
Only with her involvement could the two sides truly trust each other.
"That's excellent," Xueluo's attitude was much better than before, and she said with a smile, "I will gather the other surviving demon beast companions from within the Langya Sect and head to the Forest of Demonic Beasts in the near future."
"Thank you, Senior," Yu Jin clasped her hands again.
When Xueluo spoke with Yu Jin, her tone was quite official, but when she turned to Li Shuang, her voice immediately became more intimate: "Little Shuang, I'm going to the demon race soon. Do you want to come with me on this journey to the demon race?"
Li Shuang was stunned: "Me? Don't humans aren't allowed to enter the Forest of Demonic Beasts now?"
Xueluo said calmly, "Whatever their old rules were, when I'm here, I am the rule."
After arrogantly dropping that statement, Xueluo then explained, "There's something in the Forest of Demonic Beasts that might be of great use to you. But this thing can only be used on-site. If you trust me, come with me. After all... your current cultivation is still a bit too low, and you need to grow quickly."
Lin Qingling: "..."
She looked at Li Shuang's cultivation, which was already higher than hers.
Xueluo casually said that her cultivation was still "a bit too low."
Lin Qingling felt like crying. If that was considered too low, then what did that make her, her master?
Xueluo remained calm: "For your age, such cultivation is naturally astonishing. However... the demonic seed won't wait for you to grow slowly." It was Li Shuang's misfortune to be born in such an era, and there was nothing to be done about it.
No one could decide for Li Shuang regarding Xueluo's invitation.
Li Shuang herself was deep in thought.
Xueluo said, "I will depart for the Forest of Demonic Beasts in half a month. You also have half a month to think about it. For these two weeks, I will stay with you at the Sword Sect."
"Thank you, Senior," Li Shuang quickly agreed.
Yu Jin smiled faintly: "And so, we have reached a consensus. Now, let's just drink."
This meeting.
Both the human race and the Langya Sect faction achieved their desired results, and it could be said that both host and guests enjoyed themselves.
The subsequent Sect Assembly would involve competitions among various sects, and ultimately, the super sects would lead discussions on matters such as resource allocation and defensive line arrangements.
These matters currently had nothing to do with secondary sects like the recently established Sword Sect.
They were just there to watch the excitement.
But the Sword Sect now had Xueluo's permission to choose secret manuals from the Langya Sect.
In that case, there was no need to watch this spectacle.
After Lin Qingling returned, she led the three sects back to their sect's station.
Xueluo also accompanied them along the way.
It had been a long time since she returned.
Returning to the Sword Sect, Li Shuang felt a sense of relief throughout her body.
Xueluo, on the other hand, was curiously observing the disciples of the Sword Sect.
Li Shuang had astonishing luck.
Logically, the people around her shouldn't be too bad either.
At least, a few geniuses should emerge.
At first glance, there seemed to be nothing special.
But after Xueluo meticulously observed for a while, she indeed discovered some clues.
For a medium-sized sect, the disciples of the Sword Sect... could truly be considered a wealth of talent.
Especially Li Shuang's several senior brothers and sisters.
This Lin Qingling... it seemed like she really knew how to teach disciples.
Xueluo looked at these rough diamonds and couldn't help but offer some pointers.
"Luo Mingyue, you have a very special quality. You were born with a pure heart, and this state of mind allows you to remain eternally genuine and sincere, never led astray by external things. After entering Langya Palace, go and choose a secret manual: it is called the Immaculate Sword Art. This sword art requires experiencing countless distracting thoughts to achieve mastery, but your pure heart is not afraid of these distractions. By cultivating this sword art, you will advance by leaps and bounds."
"Liu Juncheng, your water and earth spiritual roots are both gentle and abundant. Combined with your personality, you should seek out a Water-Wood Nourishment Art. This will make you the strongest support."
"Sui Jin. The five spiritual roots are called '废灵根' (waste spiritual roots) in today's era, but they weren't necessarily so fifty thousand years ago. At that time, there was a sect specifically called the Five Elements Sect, and its disciples all possessed five spiritual roots. Go and seek a Five Elements Art."
"Jiang Yi, the demon beast bloodline in you... is very interesting. The source of the bloodline must be at least a super demon beast. Go and seek a Bloodline Refining Spirit Art. Transform this bloodline into your true aid."
Xueluo gave them individual guidance.
Luo Mingyue and the others were born in a resource-scarce region like Southern Azure Continent, which actually limited their growth.
Now.
With the added foundation of the Langya Sect, they were all likely to make rapid progress.
"Thank you, Senior," Li Shuang said gratefully.
In this world, only Xueluo possessed such vision and foundation, capable of pointing out a correct path for everyone.
"It's a small matter," Xueluo waved her hand.
She became somewhat addicted to giving guidance and turned to instruct Jiang Rongyi and the others.
