"Sister loves plums, Xiao Nian loves rice balls, together we are Plum Rice Balls, inseparably joined for a lifeti." Those words from i Xiang were the support that sustained i Nian in her arduous cultivation for many years.
She had always believed i Xiang’s words, the sisters would live and die together, becoming the pinnacle figures in the Cultivation World, breaking through the ultimate boundaries of cultivation. However, in the end, i Xiang abandoned her. For a man, she left i Nian and their entire family behind. Since then, no one dared to ntion i Xiang in front of i Nian.
However, tonight, i Nian brought up i Xiang herself, which was quite unusual.
"Madam, about the custor I ntioned last ti who withdrew sothing?" Huang Yaoshi deliberately changed the subject.
"I still have matters to attend to, I’ll et with that little guest you ntioned after I investigate the whereabouts of the teor Crystal," i Nian was sowhat curious about the little guest Huang Yaoshi ntioned. The lineage of cultivators had dwindled over the years, especially those suitable for cultivation under the Natural Law.
Huang Yaoshi ntioned the young custor who ca to buy three years’ worth of Pueraria Root, had a discerning eye, and also recognized the forged hundred-year wild ginseng, apparently a younger mber of a reclusive Cultivation Family.
However, what i Nian was more concerned about today was the reckless woman in class who claid to be a descendant of Bai Juyi, who "perford poorly."
Bai Juyi is already dead. i Nian’s grudge for her sister’s betrayal had faded sowhat, but this didn’t an that the past could be erased.
"It’s very late, you should rest now. After all, you too are getting on in years, rember to take your health preservation pills on ti every month," for the servant who had diligently served her for over a hundred years, i Nian was not indifferent, the health preservation pills are supplents that modernly would be said to counteract oxidation and delay cellular aging.
Not long after Huang Yaoshi left, i Nian took out a brown dicine bottle brought from Heavenly Mountain, about to open it when she beca alert.
"Who?" i Nian’s palm flipped open, and a streak of snow light flashed at the edge of her fingers.
"It’s , Xiao Nian." A calm, yet familiar voice, one she had not heard in decades.
Under the bright electric light, i Xiang’s Spiritual Power Avatar appeared even weaker.
It’s her, i Nian’s mind swayed, she changed her stance and stepped down from the counter. As she approached i Xiang’s Spiritual Power Avatar, her hand glowed red, and a red and white cold light fiercely struck the avatar.
i Xiang’s Spiritual Power Avatar, having no choice, dodged by shifting her shoulder.
Who knows that as soon as i Nian saw her dodge, she followed up with a horizontal strike. Another look showed a chillingly cold Snow Blade in i Nian’s hand. Since ancient tis, the plum has been fragrant amidst the cold; all Cultivators of the i Family would form a Spiritual Energy Blade with their newly developed Spiritual Power.
The blade, seemingly fragile as ice, yet upon striking, contained the force of a hundred pounds. i Xiang’s Spiritual Power Avatar, having already exhausted herself from earlier instructions to Xiao Xian, dodged again and again, but i Nian relentlessly pursued her. Seeing that dodging was futile, a Spiritual Energy Blade also appeared in the hands of i Xiang’s Avatar.
Different from i Nian’s blade, the Spiritual Power Avatar’s Blade Sword was longer, its glow more dazzling.
With a clang, the two blades t. i Xiang’s Spiritual Power Avatar and i Xiang double-handedly fought with their blades. The glow from the Spiritual Energy Blades illuminated the originally vague face of the Spiritual Power Avatar.
Two identical faces, one masked with endless anger, while the other was expressionless as a sculpture.
A "bang" as the blades clashed again, snow spontaneously drifted in the shop, covering the herbs inside with a frost-like layer.
"Enough, Xiao Nian, my Spiritual Power Avatar can’t last much longer, let finish speaking, what cos next is very important, it concerns the survival of the Natural Law cultivators, you must calm down," i Xiang withdrew her blade, stepping aside.
"Hmph, stop pretending, if you really cared about the lineage of Natural Law cultivators, why did you leave without a word to challenge the so-called limits of cultivation," i Nian said resentfully, yet she still listened, retracting her Snow Blade.
"So things, once you reach my stage, you’ll understand. This ti I ca back not only to seek a suitable successor but to remind you, to break through you must..."
"Enough, the i Family doesn’t just have you as a cultivation genius," i Xiang hadn’t finished speaking when i Nian bluntly interrupted her.
Though i Xiang and i Nian are twin sisters, in the path of cultivation, i Xiang aid to go further; she is the first person in hundreds of years to reach the limit of cultivation and the first to enter the Sea Do Cave Mansion, embarking on a quasi-immortal path.
"I don’t need your guidance, I’ve already found a way to break through, just watch, give a few more years, at most ten, and I will achieve the breakthrough, then you can wait for my challenge in the Cangqiong Palace, I will let everyone know I am the true genius of the i Family," i Nian said, about to walk away.
"Xiao Nian, I want to remind you. In the near future, as soone who overcos the Gold Grade limits, you’re destined to face a calamity, neither you nor I can avoid it. Bai Juyi was my calamity, you must be very careful," i Xiang knew her sister’s temperant well, no one could forcibly impose their thoughts on her," Also, in the path of cultivation, haste makes waste, do not force it."
i Nian snorted coldly, no longer engaging. After a few minutes, not hearing i Xiang speak again.
i Nian turned around, only to see the drugstore was empty, leaving only the herbs illuminated by the light, appearing as if frosted. (To be continued.
