"Master gave it!" Senior Sister Yuan slurped, "I saved this with the good deeds I've done over the past few months!"

"This is a spirit fruit that Zheng Fa tricked out of Haori Mountain! It's delicious!"

"This is a spirit pill from the Qingmu Sect, sweet! I put in a lot of effort to trade for it with them!"

"This is spiritual wine, I spent a lot of good deeds on it..."

Senior Sister Yuan had a look of eager accomplishment, passionately introducing the items, unwilling to take her eyes off those little boxes, clearly very fond of them.

Zheng Fa knew that Senior Sister Zhang wasn't particularly drawn to food, yet at this moment, Senior Sister Zhang was smiling sweetly, nodding continuously at those little boxes.

After all, these treats were saved up bit by bit by Yuan Xiaoniao.

For Yuan Xiaoniao, who was extremely fond of food and drink as life's pleasures, saving up so many delicious things to give to Senior Sister Zhang... was truly a hundred percent sincerity.

Senior Sister Zhang understood this intention in her heart, not only smilingly accepting them but also opening each box to carefully taste and praise their deliciousness one by one.

She coaxed Yuan Xiaoniao so much that her tail was almost wagging with joy.

Once Yuan Xiaoniao was done showing off, Lady Xuanhua's hand flashed with a rainbow light, producing a jade box about two fingers long.

"Look, do you like it?"

Senior Sister Zhang took the jade box, opened the lid, and inside lay a necklace.

She took the necklace out and spread it in front of her chest. A golden phoenix spread its wings in flight, and more strangely, its eyes were two black-and-white stones, looking almost alive.

"Master?"

"I'll put it on for you." Junior Master Huang reached out, took the necklace from Senior Sister Zhang's hand, and personally put it around her neck. After studying it for a while, he nodded with satisfaction, "Beautiful!"

"Is this... a magical treasure?"

Senior Sister Zhang looked down at her necklace and suddenly asked.

"It's fortunate that we have Lady Xuanhua to convert the spiritual materials, otherwise, this necklace couldn't have been made..."

It seems this necklace was refined by Lady Xuanhua at Junior Master Huang's request.

"Master, this is too precious."

Zheng Fa understood Senior Sister Zhang's thinking—Junior Master Huang was disheartened in the past, naturally having no desire for wealth, and was the poorest among the three Supremes of Jiushan Sect.

Crafting a magical treasure, even if Lady Xuanhua only charged the cost price, could be a significant burden for her.

"Is it more valuable than my disciple's life!" Junior Master Huang snorted and said, "Who were the enemies you faced before, and who will be the enemies you face in the future? How many times can you use Quiet Bamboo?"

"..."

Usually taciturn, Junior Master Huang was now chattering non-stop, "Every time I see you charging ahead with Quiet Bamboo, I get anxious!"

"This necklace can speed up the recovery of your mana and divine soul, and it also has some protective power. Xuanhua said this necklace is her best work to date in her life! She even has confidence it can block a Divinity Transformation attack!"

It seems Junior Master Huang indeed put effort into this.

Senior Sister Zhang, wielding Quiet Bamboo, had combat strength near Dao Fruit, but the issue was Quiet Bamboo was ultimately an external force.

Compared to Fusang Wood being innately one with Zheng Fa, Senior Sister Zhang's relationship with Quiet Bamboo wasn't as close; when using Quiet Bamboo, she faced two major problems:

First, it was exhausted in two or three uses, and using it more would cause severe injury.

Second, which was even more critical:

Her cultivation was too low; if someone caught the opportunity and seized her life, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Though this necklace was merely a magical treasure, it was indeed very suitable for Senior Sister Zhang.

It was clear that Junior Master Huang had been worrying and pondering over this for not just a day or two.

Senior Sister Zhang reached out to pinch the golden phoenix, wanting to say something, but Junior Master Huang's gaze turned stern, commanding, "Wear it well!"

"..."

Seeing her no longer thinking of refusing, Junior Master Huang finally smiled again and softly said, "With you wearing this, I'll be less worried when you go out. Don't be like your Master..."

She said up to this point and then stopped, chuckling, "On this day, why am I bringing up such inauspicious things... Speaking of it, when it was my birthday, your Master always prepared birthday gifts..."

"Back then, Jiushan Sect was even poorer than it is now, and our cultivations were low, things weren't worth much."

"But I still remember..."

Senior Sister Yuan, hearing this, blinked her eyes and looked at Zheng Fa.

Junior Master Huang also looked at Zheng Fa, actually with the kind of scrutiny a mother-in-law would have for a son-in-law.

Uh oh, it's coming to him!

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at her master, helplessly saying, "Actually, junior brother, a few days ago..."

Junior Master Huang's gaze changed slightly, but looking at his beloved disciple with her big eyes prepared to tell a fib, he sighed instead of snorting.

"Senior sister!" Zheng Fa's mind raced, and he took out a jade tube engraved with the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array, boldly saying, "This is my birthday gift..."

Truth be told, the main credit for this jade tube was indeed Zheng Fa's idea... but special thanks must also go to the project manager Tang Lingwu, as Rainbow Mountain speedily resolved his major hurdle!

Senior Sister Zhang was taken aback too. She accepted the jade tube, her expression tinged with surprise, and asked, "What's inside this?"

"Senior sister, do you remember that kind of calculation array you thought about before?"

"Yes."

"Inside this is the improved calculation array."

Senior Sister Zhang's eyes suddenly brightened, her divine sense immersing into the jade tube. When she saw the title inside, she softly muttered, "Nine Chapters Calculation Array Technique Manual?"

With that, she ignored others and immersed herself in the contents of the jade tube.

Junior Master Huang watched her, then looked at Zheng Fa, shaking his head slightly, seemingly not very satisfied with this gift...

Zheng Fa understood Junior Master Huang's thinking, as this thing, after all, just sounded like an array method.

Array methods were indeed powerful, but they primarily enhanced sect strength.

As to how much they could benefit Senior Sister Zhang personally, that was hard to say.

Given Junior Master Huang's character, entirely for Senior Sister Zhang's sake... dissatisfaction was understandable.

What Zheng Fa didn't expect was for Junior Master Huang to nod at him.

Seeing his confusion, Junior Master Huang pursed his lips and said:

"A thousand gold can't buy one's true heart, no matter how many Spirit Stones this jade tube is worth, if Wuyi likes it, what more can I say?"

"Just don't forget her feelings for you."

Right when Junior Master Huang was speaking, spiritual energy suddenly surged around Senior Sister Zhang, a five-colored glowing light swirling above her head, shooting skyward from the small courtyard.

The mist above Ten Thousand Immortals Island was dyed by the glow into a colorful scene, appearing magnificent as if Paradise on Earth.

Junior Master Huang's neck stiffened, slowly turning to look at Zheng Fa, his lips slightly quivering:

"Wuyi... has attained enlightenment?"

Zheng Fa silently nodded.

Junior Master Huang lowered his head, looking at the jade tube in Senior Sister Zhang's hand, his eyes now holding a newfound respect.
