"What's the matter?" Yang Xiaoyou lightly bumped her elbow against Liu Lianyue, who seemed somewhat displeased with the inexplicable conversation between two people she had just met. Originally, she had brought Yang Xiaoyou here, but now she found herself unable to interject.
"It's nothing. I hit it off with your master right away. We can find a chance to talk later. But you came here for a reason, didn't you?" Yang Xiaoyou smiled lightly, not giving a direct answer.
"Oh, right! Master's Warning!" Liu Lianyue recalled her purpose for coming after Yang Xiaoyou's reminder. However, she wasn't finished yet. Wenxin Daozhang took out a simple pendant from his pocket.
"Here, take this. Your condition has improved a lot now. As long as you don't get hurt like last time, you won't need these for long. The medicine is in the usual place; remember to take it when you leave."
Seeing the pendant handed over by the Daoist priest, Yang Xiaoyou glanced at it. Although it couldn't compare to the one she wore, its effectiveness was certainly better than the one her cousin had.
From their conversation, it seemed that Liu Lianyue had been wearing such items for a long time; whenever their effects faded, she would come back for another one. It also appeared there was some kind of medicine involved.
With such good conditions, it was no wonder she had her current strength. However, it was unclear what the medicine's effects were. If it could match the pendant's ability to stabilize one's energy and mind, then Liu Lianyue must have had a relatively weak constitution in the past.
Otherwise, she might have been even stronger. Now that she was at a normal level, she could be considered a capable expert on her own, but when facing true masters, she still fell short.
In terms of sparring, she could probably match Fein, who currently had the lowest combat power in their group. However, in a life-and-death struggle, there would be no chance for her.
Of course, Yang Xiaoyou comparing her to the elites in her group was already a form of acknowledgment of her abilities.
"Hehe, Master, this fellow is here for the first time! How about giving her a welcome gift? After all, you can accumulate a few of these things in a year," Liu Lianyue said cheerfully after receiving the pendant and couldn't help but tease a bit.
Having come into contact with such items, perhaps her master hadn't explained much about energy and momentum to her, but she understood the benefits of this jade pendant.
In times of weakness and madness, she often had nightmares while sleeping. However, after meeting her master for the first time and receiving this jade pendant, her sleep became much more restful and she felt more energetic during the day.
In terms of effectiveness, it was far superior to any health supplements. She believed that if her master were willing to sell these items and encountered someone knowledgeable about them, things would definitely not be as they were now.
"I've already given away several pieces this year. However, your friend doesn't need these; he has something better himself. If I'm not mistaken, that should be the aura of Brother Yuan Fangzi. It's been ten years since we last met, yet he has sent out this jade pendant. It seems he remains as stubborn as ever," Wenxin Daozhang sighed at this moment, his previously calm eyes flashing with a hint of nostalgia and melancholy.
Hearing this made Yang Xiaoyou fall silent; after all, she owed Yuan Fangzi a significant favor.
Wenxin Daozhang's words indicated that he should know Yuan Fangzi as well. Judging purely from their current standings, even if his achievements were somewhat lacking compared to Yuan Fangzi and Feng Ji, they were still on equal footing in terms of seniority.
They were both masters of Taoism. Yuan Fangzi focused solely on cultivating his energy and neglected self-cultivation. Although he might excel in certain aspects, his lifespan was inevitably affected. In contrast, Wenxin Daozhang balanced both, appearing much healthier.
"Is that true? Does he have something better?" Liu Lianyue glanced at Yang Xiaoyou with a hint of suspicion. This fellow seemed unremarkable at first glance, yet unexpected situations often arose around him.
With Liu Lianyue beside him, Yang Xiaoyou didn't discuss much else with her master. However, he had plenty to share, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious—so much so that Liu Lianyue felt somewhat superfluous.
"Usually, he's like a closed book, hardly saying a word. Now he's so talkative; has this fellow gone mad enough to not even spare his master?" Liu Lianyue's gaze toward Yang Xiaoyou grew increasingly strange. Once she formed a preconceived notion, it led her thoughts down a twisted path.
Because of these peculiar thoughts, Liu Lianyue decided to take Yang Xiaoyou to bid farewell to her master earlier than planned.
"Well, I've accompanied you for quite a while. If you have something to do, go ahead. I still have some matters to discuss with my senior," Yang Xiaoyou casually waved his hand as he heard Liu Lianyue's intention to leave.
This gesture made Liu Lianyue feel somewhat exasperated. After all, she was a girl and quite attractive at that; now it felt as if she were being treated like an unnecessary light bulb and sent away, which only confirmed her feelings.
Thinking this way made her heart sink with sadness—why did she develop feelings for such a fellow?
With her master present, Liu Lianyue couldn't express her frustration openly. However, since she had already spoken, she couldn't take it back. She shot Yang Xiaoyou a fierce glare and huffed before leaving.
It seemed her path ahead would be challenging.
After Liu Lianyue departed, Xiao You's demeanor inexplicably changed slightly; he appeared more relaxed. The atmosphere in the room, previously dominated by Heart-Seeking Daoist, suddenly became more balanced against Wenxin Daozhang, who showed no signs of surprise.
Their conversation gradually delved into realms beyond ordinary understanding, continuing through the entire night.
"What we've discussed today has truly benefited me greatly. I appreciate your time tonight; I won't impose any longer and will take my leave now," Yang Xiaoyou said with some emotion as the crowing of a rooster echoed outside.
Both were exceptionally energetic; despite not having slept all night, they still looked remarkably well-rested.
"Yang the Recluse is being too polite. Your realm is not beneath mine; I truly have no effective advice for the problems you face. Conversely, our discussion has provided me with valuable insights," Heart-Seeking Daoist sighed lightly in response.
If it weren't for the other person's appearance right before him, he would find it hard to believe that he had spent an entire night conversing with someone so young.
"Next time I come to this place, I will definitely pay you a visit again." After saying this, Yang Xiaoyou prepared to get up and leave.
However, as he reached the door, he heard the voice of the Heart-Seeking Daoist.
"My disciple is also a child of misfortune. On the surface, she seems to be doing well, but she carries a heavy burden in her heart. If you have the chance, I hope you can guide her more."
"Of course, she is my friend," Yang Xiaoyou replied affirmatively before stepping out of the somewhat humble Daoist temple that had been tidied up.
Having conversed with Wen Xin for so long, although it couldn't directly change his current state, it provided him with many new ideas and was quite valuable for reference. The essence of thousands of years of cultural accumulation is not something that can be easily unraveled today.
Perhaps this exchange with Wen Xin would prove to be even more effective than his discussions with Old Master Feng. Although Feng Ji was certainly at a higher level in terms of cultivation, like himself, he was also a pure martial artist. Even if one principle could lead to understanding of myriad principles, some ways of thinking would still be influenced.
Now, he was also preparing to gather experiences and would still need to pay a visit to Old Master Feng afterward.
That moment of enlightenment on the ferry had brought about a significant change in him: to some extent, he could directly summon the power of his inner persona. Although using it seemed to slightly affect his spirit, it was fundamentally different from fully awakening his inner persona as he had done before.
He had used it when capturing people for the Blue Moon Group, and after discussing so much with Wen Xin this time, he felt ready for some changes.
