The scorpion woman took the jade piece, glanced at Xu Chunniang, and couldn't help but tighten the jade piece in her hand.
"What about your lord? Is your lord leaving?"
Xu Chunniang said tactfully, "I have some things to deal with, and you also have your own way to go."
Even though she had made psychological preparations and knew that such a day would come, when the moment actually arrived, the scorpion woman was very reluctant to let go.
She had been friends with adults for hundreds of years, and when they were suddenly separated, she felt at a loss.
But she knew that the decisions made by adults would not be changed easily.
And the adults are right, it’s time for her to go her own way.
The scorpion woman suppressed the sourness in her heart and said, "Now that the master is gone, will there be a chance for us to meet again in the future?"
Xu Chunniang sighed softly, "If we meet, it's just one more time."
The scorpion woman understood something and quickly lowered her head, hiding the water in her eyes.
"Then I wish you a successful trip, sir."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, took out a prepared mustard seed box and handed it to the scorpion woman.
"Take it, there are some spiritual weapons and spiritual crystals inside. You can always use them when you walk in the spiritual world in the future."
The scorpion woman quickly refused, "How can I take your adult's things?"
"I have no use for these things now. If you give them to you, just take them. There are formation disks that I personally refined inside. If you place the formation disks in your retreat, the evil energy will not be detected by others."
"Yes, thank you sir."
The scorpion woman took over the Mustard Seed Space and raised her head again, that familiar figure had disappeared.
After being separated from the scorpion woman, Xu Chunniang took one step forward, crossed space, and came to the border of the human race, Crane City.
Xu Chunniang had served here for eight years. When she recalled what happened back then, it seemed as if it was a lifetime ago.
She still remembered that there were constant wars in Hecheng, and monks who were newly promoted to the stage of becoming gods came to Hecheng from all over the year to join the army and serve in the army.
Back then, she was sent to the Black Tiger Army as a penalty for being late. It was not until she achieved many military exploits that she got the opportunity to reduce her service.
Xu Chunniang lowered her head and looked at Crane City at her feet.
Hundreds of years have passed, and Crane City does not seem to have changed much, and is still in the midst of intense battles.
It's just that the monks in Crane City come and go, and I don't know how many batches they have been rotated.
How many more souls have died in this meaningless battle?
Xu Chunniang retracted her gaze and took another step forward, reaching the top of Tianshen Academy.
At Tianshen Academy, she once spent a rare and peaceful time.
It's a pity that this period of peace was finally broken by those aristocratic families.
With a look of nostalgia in Xu Chunniang's eyes, she stepped into Tianshen Academy and released her spiritual thoughts without reservation, covering all corners of Tianshen Academy.
The moment the divine thought was released, it was noticed by almost all the academic officials and students in Tianshen Academy.
"That divine thought just now was so powerful. I have only felt this kind of power from the dean!"
"Could it be that some venerable person came to Tianshen Academy?"
Just when all the academic officials and students in the college were shocked, Hua Guang's figure appeared in the college.
Hua Guang's mind quickly locked onto Xu Chunniang's position, but she didn't dare to press too hard, so she cupped her fists and saluted.
"I don't know which Taoist friend came to visit unexpectedly. Hua Guang was not welcomed at a distance. Please forgive me."
"Dean Huaguang, you are fine."
A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Chunniang's lips, and she restrained her outgoing consciousness and aura.
"Who are you?"
Hua Guang sensed it for a moment, and when she noticed a familiar aura, her face turned into surprise and disbelief, and she spoke carefully.
"Are you...Xu Chunniang?"
The corners of Xu Chunniang's lips raised, she cupped her fists and saluted Hua Guang, "Dean, long time no see."
Hua Yao quickly calmed down her emotions, but the look she looked at Xu Chunniang was inevitably a little complicated.
However, in just a few hundred years, she was so lucky that she jumped from the Void Refining Stage to the Mahayana Stage in one fell swoop.
Although she was the one she personally selected, Hua Guang never expected that Xu Chunniang would really break through the Mahayana stage one day, and it only took such a short time.
"You must have suffered a lot these years."
Xu Chunniang was slightly startled, then smiled calmly, "Since it's practice, I don't feel any pain at all."
"Very good, I did not misjudge you."
There was a look of satisfaction in Hua Guang's eyes, "You and I, plus another casual cultivator, with the strength of the three of us, we can at least occupy a place, not to mention competing with those aristocratic families."
The human race originally had seven Mahayana sages, five of whom came from aristocratic families, and Hua Guang and another were both from casual cultivators.
At present, Xu Chunniang has been successfully promoted to the Mahayana stage, and the power of the casual cultivators finally has one more person, so they will not be oppressed too hard by those aristocratic families.
Thinking of this, Hua Guang became even more pleased, "You have just entered the Mahayana period, and there must be many things you don't understand yet. If you don't mind, go and sit at my place for a while."
Xu Chunniang did not refuse and followed Hua Yao into Huayao's courtyard.
The two sat across from each other, and Hua Guang took out the teapot and made tea for Xu Chunniang herself.
"This is the tea I made myself. It's called Qiu Shuang. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Xu Chunniang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea was refreshing in the mouth, mixed with a hint of frost, and it was really interesting.
"Thank you, Dean, the tea is very good."
"As long as you like it, I have a lot more here, I can share some with you."
Hua Guang smiled and continued, "The aura around your body has become solid, and you have been entering the Mahayana stage for some time, right?"
Xu Chunniang put down the tea cup and nodded slightly.
"Yes, in detail, it has been sixty years since I entered the Mahayana stage."
"It has been sixty years since you became a Mahayana monk?"
Hua Guang's eyes flashed with light. The longer it took Xu Chunniang to become a Mahayana monk, the shorter the time she spent on cultivation.
"Since you broke through a long time ago, why did you wait until now to come back?"
"I've been delayed due to some things, and I've only had some free time recently."
Hua Guang nodded and did not continue to ask further questions on this matter.
"Since you have broken through the Mahayana stage, you should know that when your cultivation level reaches your and my level, ordinary methods can no longer increase your cultivation level, right?"
Xu Chunniang rubbed the tea cup in her hand, showing recognition.
"Yes, after your cultivation reaches the Mahayana stage, it has been recognized by heaven and earth, and has reached a perfect and self-consistent state. If you don't increase or decrease by one point, you can't increase your cultivation by continuing to practice."
"Actually, if you want to continue practicing cultivation during the Mahayana period, it is difficult to say it, but it is easy to say it is easy."
Hua Guang did not give in and took the initiative to give some advice, "You should know the power of faith and incense, right? Faith and incense are the key to the cultivation of Mahayana monks."
