Where can we hide?
Although Xiao Yan remained silent, her gaze fell on Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou had already considered this point before coming to rescue them: "You both can come back to the Heavenly Sword Sect with me."
"What?"
The sisters were both surprised. Han Li was purely shocked, but Xiao Yan showed a hint of suspicion.
The Heavenly Sword Sect is one of the Five Constants and a major member of the Righteous Alliance. Currently, those searching for Xiao Yan also include them.
Fang Zhou actually wanted the two to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect, wasn't that walking right into their trap?
"Haven't you heard the saying, the most dangerous place is the safest? Like the darkness under the lamp. Whether righteous or evil, not even the Demon Sect would imagine you're hidden in one of the sects of the Five Constants."
In a calm tone, Fang Zhou explained to them: "I have an independent area in the Heavenly Sword Sect, with trustworthy people coming and going. I can provide you with a place for alchemy. Taobao Mall is the largest supplier of materials, so you can freely practice alchemy without worrying about external matters. Is there a better place than this?"
Fang Zhou's depiction immediately made Xiao Yan's heart race.
Though hiding in deep mountains and forests might keep her from being found, she didn't plan to hide forever; she still needed to craft elixirs.
Alchemy requires an appropriate location and a large supply of materials, none of which Xiao Yan could conjure up alone. Going out to buy would inevitably leave traces.
Han Li was already convinced by Fang Zhou's words, clutching Xiao Yan's hand tightly: "Shall we go to the Heavenly Sword Sect then?"
Xiao Yan couldn't help wanting to roll her eyes at Han Li; this sister was completely blinded by male charm, losing even the most basic sense of caution.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask Fang Zhou: "Why are you helping us this way?"
Fang Zhou replied matter-of-factly: "Isn't it obvious? You want to craft elixirs that men can easily cultivate with, and as a man, who should I help if not you?"
This was a reason hard to refute, and Xiao Yan couldn't find a point to argue against.
Fang Zhou finally offered a condition that Xiao Yan could not refuse—arranging her meeting and communication with the Heavenly Sword Sect's First Generation Sword Spirit.
The First Generation Sword Spirit of the Heavenly Sword Sect is the Cultivation World's finest alchemist still existing.
Xiao Yan had heard of this before, but given her current status, meeting them was impossible.
If Fang Zhou could really arrange a meeting, it would be worth taking the risk.
After considering for a long time, Xiao Yan ultimately chose to accept the plan.
Judging rationally, with Fang Zhou's current strength, if he wanted to harm them, he could just act directly, without wasting time on unnecessary things.
Thus, the matter was happily decided, with Xiao Yan and Han Li having no other way out, following Fang Zhou back to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Although bringing two girls home would inevitably provoke a series of jealousy and troublesome matters.
But compared to safeguarding Xiao Yan, who holds the hope of changing the world's atmosphere, everything else is trivial.
The next day, the three departed from the grasslands, returning to the Central Plains.
Displeased with the slow flight, Fang Zhou dragged them along swiftly, reaching the Heavenly Sword Sect by afternoon.
Seeing the beautiful Cloud Sea Mountains, Xiao Yan and Han Li couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
Recalling the last time Taobao Mall opened, Xiao Yan and her sister's impressive theatrical performance and the Fire Dragon in Iron Sword Mountain.
Not to mention Wang Qini, who saved her several times while carrying a Sword Box; she wondered if he still remembered her.
Han Li, on the other hand, considered this place to be Yu Qing's domain, giving her a significant home-field advantage.
Currently, she's fighting away from home, necessitating extreme caution.
The elder overseeing the Mountain Protection Array is Feng Qin; Fang Zhou greeted her and was allowed through.
Bringing them to Moon Viewing Peak, Fang Zhou settled them in an empty courtyard and had the Calabash Brothers come out to get acquainted.
Since they might live together for a long time, it was better to meet in advance to prevent misunderstandings.
Of course, the Calabash Brothers had been warned by Fang Zhou not to reveal the two's circumstances.
After settling them in, Fang Zhou had Lu Qiuling bring a batch of Muscle Softening Liquid from Taobao Mall, teaching Han Li and Xiao Yan how to alter their facial features, preventing recognition.
Seeing the Muscle Softening Liquid, Xiao Yan paused, though she said nothing, silently following to learn.
After dealing with the two, Fang Zhou recalled the Purple Card reward from completing his task.
The familiar transition animation and golden glow.
These days, seeing the Golden Legend, Fang Zhou remains unperturbed.
The fragmented golden light ultimately gathered into the pattern of a longsword.
[Broken Steel Divine Sword ★★★: Crafted by the Secret Realm Elf, this artifact boasts the power to slice through iron and steel without resistance. The Elf Runes on the blade grant the holder eternal youth, and the Light Cannon ability allows firing a powerful blast at the cost of its energy, the greater the energy, the stronger the power, with a cooldown time of 100 hours]
A beautifully crafted, blue-white longsword appeared in Fang Zhou's hand.
This weapon is exceptional, with its powers of cutting through anything, eternal youth, and a Light Cannon; every effect is astounding—it's the best equipment Fang Zhou has drawn thus far.
But he already has the Xuanyuan Sword, having grown attached to it over time, so another sword is somewhat redundant; he doesn't play dual-sword style.
Fang Zhou tucked the Broken Steel Divine Sword into the calabash, where it was destined to gather dust.
Next, he needed to fulfill his promise to Xiao Yan, arranging her meeting with the Heavenly Sword Sect's First Generation Sword Spirit.
In the past, this was unimaginable; the First Generation Sword Spirit had been secluded in the back hills, uninterested in worldly affairs, difficult even for Heavenly Sword Sect leaders to meet.
But the circumstances are different now—having cultivated to the Golden Core, the Heavenly Sword Sect would spare no effort in courting this valuable ally to maintain a close relationship.
Inviting the First Generation Sword Spirit for a meeting, though difficult, was not impossible.
Fang Zhou informed True Master Yu Jian of this, although even Yu Jian could only promise to do his best.
Eventually, news arrived that the First Generation Sword Spirit agreed to meet but needed time for arrangements.
Fang Zhou wasn't dissatisfied, as the First Generation Sword Spirit held a revered position within the Heavenly Sword Sect, even respected by Sect Master Qin Yunzhu; receiving consent to meet was significant.
News of Han Li and Xiao Yan's residence wasn't a secret, and Feng Qin needed to report the arrival of two strangers brought by Fang Zhou.
Yu Qing quickly received the news, her husband had again brought women home, prompting her to rush from near completing the Encyclopedia of Spells to Moon Viewing Peak to investigate.
Xiao Yan had already altered her appearance with the Muscle Softening Liquid, taking on a false name and identity.
Yu Qing didn't recognize her but knew Han Li, the formidable rival.
She finally couldn't resist, confronting her at home?
