小优为爱而生下

Chapter 1413 Task

She was puzzled, and her eyebrows twisted involuntarily as she watched the figure in white walking in light footsteps to the Ninth Peak. She had been to the Ninth Peak once. There were no boundary barriers set up there but there were two Nascent Soul Cultivators who stood guarding it. There were also many killing arrays inside, if you made a mistake, you would definitely die!

However, though there were Nascent Soul Cultivators guarding the front of the peak, there were none guarding the back of the peak. She had gone up through the back of the peak last time and no one had been alerted to her presence when she did.

From a distance, she watched her mother enter the gate of the Ninth Peak. As she watched the two Nascent Soul Cultivators sitting cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed, she thought for a while, then retreated quietly. She planned to go around the back of the Eighth Peak to enter the Ninth Peak and take a look at what was happening.

There were flying restrictions at the back mountain. Flying up and down the mountains was restricted. If you were to fly down from the Ninth Peak and bypassed this restricted zone, you could fly to other areas, but you couldn’t fly up to the summit. The only way up the back of the mountain was to climb.

Her body clung to the mountain wall as she climbed when she had accidentally stepped on a piece of loose rock and lost her footing slightly. She fell slightly.

She climbed up further and looked down at the falling rock and climbed up again. She thought to herself, she should secure a rope here so that it would make it easier for her to come up the back of the mountain!

After a while, she arrived at the summit of the mountain. She avoided the formation and held her breath then headed into the bamboo forest.

Master Third Sun didn’t live in a cave dwelling but in a bamboo courtyard. The bamboo courtyard was very quiet and peaceful, situated within the bamboo forest. The bamboos were spirit bamboos and there were formations set up around it to prevent anyone from entering without first being summoned. However, the formation was a mere trifle to her.

Without much effort, she was able to get through the formations to enter the bamboo forest, and she was close to the bamboo courtyard. This was where she had sneaked up to the last time she came up here, but she didn’t see Master Third Sun then. However, at this time in the night, the bamboo courtyard was lit up as bright as day, and the shadow of her mother’s figure could be seen cast on the wall under the light.

Upon seeing this, she held her breath and approached quietly, wanting to see what they were doing inside? What did they have to meet in the middle of the night?

“You were brought back by myself from one of the countries below, and you are also one of my core disciples. You have to work harder than everyone else so as to not waste my efforts in cultivating you.”

The middle-aged man who was sitting cross-legged in the bamboo house spoke in a deep voice, his sharp eyes were fixed on Shangguan Wanrong who was stood respectfully in front of him: “Remember what I have told you, this time you enter the Secret Realm, you have to pick all of the three flavours of superb elixirs.”

“Yes.” Shangguan Wanrong replied and listened as he instructed her further. Finally, she saw him take out a bottle of medicine.

“There is a pill in this bottle, it can help you enter the Golden Core middle-stage quickly. Your other Senior Brothers have instructions from me and will carry them out once they enter the Secret Realm. All you need to do is do as I have instructed you to.”

“Yes, your disciple understands. Thank you Master.” After she had accepted the bottle of pills, she kept it away carefully then said: “If Master has no other instructions, your disciple will leave now.”

“Go!” Master Third Sun waved and signaled for her to leave.

Outside, Feng Jiu was watching this scene in the dark, and after she had heard their conversation, she turned sideways to conceal herself in the darkness and watched her mother leave the bamboo house and head down the peak.

She glanced back at the bamboo house.
