Sheng Qingyun was shocked. One day the spiritual energy would completely disappear. Is this impossible?
But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that if the reason for the disappearance of the spiritual energy could not be found, this day might really happen.
For a moment, she felt so complicated that she didn't know what to say.
If that day really comes, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth will completely disappear. Even if she has Nascent Soul cultivation, the strength she can exert will be extremely limited.
She was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly.
"You're right, I didn't think far enough. Sitting back and waiting for death is not the best option after all."
Xu Chunniang shook her head, "Master is just worried about my safety. After all, the Hundred Thousand Mountains you mentioned is not a good place.
If the disappearance of spiritual energy is really related to the Western Region, then I must go on this trip."
Sheng Qingyun knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he stopped trying.
"When do you plan to leave?"
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment, "Don't be in a hurry and wait until everything in the sect is on track."
The Xiaoyao Sect still needs her to be in charge, so naturally she will not choose to leave at this time.
Although the blood baby old monster used a secret method to escape, his strength was greatly reduced and he would not show up easily in a short time.
But in addition to the old monster of the Blood Infant, the Hunyuan leader disciples also escaped, and the possibility of revenge on the Xiaoyao Sect cannot be ruled out.
Relying on Master Sheng alone, there will inevitably be some oversights.
Xu Chunniang planned to rearrange a new sect-protecting formation before leaving.
However, with her current formation level, she is still unable to arrange a fourth-level formation. If she wants to rearrange the sect-protecting formation, she will have to wait until her formation attainments break through to the grandmaster level.
After hearing her plan, Sheng Qingyun felt relieved.
The further the formation goes to the back, the more profound and difficult it becomes to understand.
Breaking through from the third-level formation master to the grandmaster level is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
Even if Xu Chunniang is very talented, it will take several decades.
"Then next, do you plan to go into seclusion and concentrate on studying the formation method?"
Xu Chunniang was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"I want to go back to my earthly home first."
Sheng Qingyun understood, but could not say anything to comfort her.
When you embark on the path of spiritual practice, you and your relatives in this world will become people in two different worlds.
Mortals have a short life span and are destined not to be with them for too long.
After practicing for hundreds of years, she could hardly remember what her parents looked like.
"You've been away for so long, it's time to go back and take a look."
Xu Chunniang nodded, bid farewell to her master, and then set foot on the road down the mountain alone.
During the qi training period, it once took three months to return home, but now it only takes a few days to reach it.
Following the memories of the past, she stepped into Wuchang County.
As far as the eye can see, things have changed.
Looking at the teahouses and restaurants on the street that were completely different from those a hundred years ago, she had a sudden sense of the passage of time.
Xu Chunniang stood at the corner of the street, looking at the people coming and going on the street, and suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.
It has been a hundred years since she last returned home.
Not to mention her elderly mother, her brother, sister, brothers, sisters, and even her two young nephews are all very likely to be no longer alive.
Maybe the Xu family is still there, but no one remembers her.
Xu Chunniang suddenly burst into tears. She had worked hard in cultivation over the years and became the Nascent Soul Lord that everyone admired. However, when she returned to her hometown, there was no one waiting for her to come home.
"Girl, what difficulties did you encounter?"
An old voice sounded. It turned out to be the old woman selling silk flowers next to her. She heard the cry and asked questions.
Xu Chunniang raised her head, her eyes slightly red and swollen.
Seeing that the person asking the question was a kind-hearted old woman, I couldn't help but feel some trust and goodwill.
She wiped away her tears, sat on the stone steps next to the stall, and told the old woman selling silk flowers her worries.
"I left home when I was young, and now I haven't been home for many years. I just cried because I was afraid that my family was no longer alive."
"I see."
The old lady selling silk flowers sighed softly and looked at her carefully again.
"Looking at your young age, even if you have been away from home for many years, you still have everything you need."
Xu Chunniang hesitated to speak, and finally said, "My father passed away when I left home last time, and my mother is already old..."
"Are there any brothers or sisters in that family?"
Xu Chunniang was just about to nod, but she didn't know what she thought of. She looked gloomy and just shook her head without saying a word.
"I understand, he is a poor child."
The old woman looked at her with a gentle look on her face.
"When this person lives in this world, he always has to look forward. A day of happiness and success is a day, and a day of sadness and hardship is also a day. Life goes on in the same way."
As she spoke, she picked up a bright silk flower from the stall and gently pinned it in Xu Chunniang's hair.
"If you cry, you will cry, but you are still in your prime. After crying, you still have to move on. There are no obstacles in life that you cannot overcome.
You are still young now, and one day you will understand what your mother-in-law said."
Xu Chunniang was a little surprised. In terms of real age, she was older than her mother-in-law.
It's just because of her spiritual practice that she looks younger.
In fact, she understands all these principles.
Just being in the middle of the situation makes me reluctant to see through it.
Xu Chunniang slowly wiped away her tears and solemnly thanked the old woman.
"Thank you, mother-in-law, I feel much better."
The old woman smiled, and the wrinkles on her face deepened, which made her brows look more charitable.
"Go home! Even if your family is gone, your home will always be there. Even if it changes its location and appearance, the home in your heart will never change."
Xu Chunniang nodded, and with a slight movement of her fingers, spiritual energy overflowed from her fingertips and penetrated into the old woman's body, quietly improving her physique.
Immediately, she took out a hosta and handed it to the old woman.
"I asked for this hosta from a very spiritual place. Wearing it with you can keep you safe. Just think of it as buying silk flowers."
The old woman saw that the hosta was very bright and moist, so she quickly waved her hand and refused.
"This is just an ordinary silk flower. It's not worth much. How can I accept such a fine hairpin from you?"
"Silk flowers are not valuable, but my mother-in-law's thoughts are very valuable. Hostas are not worth anything, they are just my thoughts."
After Xu Chunniang finished speaking, she put down the hosta and walked away without waiting for her to refuse.
The old woman picked up the hosta and was about to chase it. When she looked up, there was no trace of the girl.
She held the hosta and felt gentle in her hand.
When you lower your head and take a closer look, you can see that the jade hosta is so ingenious that there is no trace of artificial carving, which is even more extraordinary.
The old woman recalled that the clothes worn by the woman just now looked ordinary and inconspicuous, but they were completely natural. She didn't know what kind of material they were made of.
All kinds of strange things gave her an intuition that the identity of the woman just now must be either rich or noble.
But it was said that after Xu Chunniang left the old woman's silk flower stall, she searched all over Wuchang County but could not find the small Pingan County.
The original Xu Mansion in Zhongshuanggui Lane, Ping'an County, has long since changed its appearance.
