Chapter 365: Maternal Clan’s Most Valuable Treasure

Dark Evil Cliff was deep in the forest directly opposite the Falling Ghost River.
Along the way, the pupils of the Six Major Sects encountered a lot of miasma and Demonic Beasts.

After that, they were attacked by six waves of Devil Cultivators consecutively.
Once they entered the opponent’s Array, they didn’t even need to break the Array at all with an array compass as Ming Xiu could find the weak point and cut through the Array with his own strength.

Under the great power of Ming Xiu, not a single pupil was injured.

The impressive strength he revealed also completely shocked the pupils of the Six Major Sects.
The number one pupil of the Inner Sect of the Heavenly Secret Palace was indeed well-deserved.

Ming Xiu’s white clothes were without dust, his steps were light, like a fallen immortal, elegant and noble, giving people a feeling of unattainability, which made many female pupils want to come forward but stop, only watching his silhouette with growing infatuation.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were clear.
She indeed had love for Ming Xiu between that of a man and woman, and she, who had been single for two lives, also wanted to find a man who she could stand side by side with and pursue the Great Path together.

Ming Xiu was the first man who made her heart move.
That feeling was a little wonderous.
Although love at first sight was a bit exaggerated, but it was true that feelings grew subconsciously in the very few meetings she had with him.

Of course, she wasn’t a dodder who needed to cling to a man to survive.
Moreover, the level of relationship they established between them was mostly built on feelings, and they had never experienced life and death together, so the feelings she had for Ming Xiu weren’t that deep, and it was even less likely that she would lose her way because of him.

Strengthening her Path’s heart and pursing the Great Path of an ultimate powerhouse was still her biggest pursuit at present.

“Brother Chi’s Array attainments are too strong, could it be that you’ve already become a Grade 5 Array Master?” Han Yi saw Ming Xiu split open a Great Array again, and easily slay the three Initial-Phase Sword Venerable Devil Cultivators.
He suppressed the shock in his heart and asked tentatively with a smile.

Ming Xiu replied with a smile: “I have indeed advanced to Grade 5 Array Master.”

Han Yi’s test was also what other people thought.
After knowing that he was already a Grade 5 Array Master, many pupils all sucked in a deep breath.

He was only twenty-two years old yet was already so talented in Arrays.
He was almost as good as the number one Array Master among the Inner Pupils of the Eight Extremes Sect.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes overflowed with a small smile.
Ming Xiu only said that he was a Grade 5 Array Master yet these people were shocked.
If they knew that this guy was already a Grade 7 Array Master, then wouldn’t their jaws drop from shock.

Not to mention Ming Xiu, even she was already a Grade 5 Array Master—it seemed that it wasn’t something to make a big fuss over.

If the pupils of the Six Major Sects who specialised in Arrays heard Lou Mu Yan’s inner thoughts, then wouldn’t they feel suffocated to death—who could compare with these two abnormal monsters!

Wherever Grade 5 Array Masters went on the entire Tian’ling Continent, they were the objects that others catered to, and they could also become more powerful Elders in the Array Masters Alliance.

“Brother Chi’s talent in Arrays is truly amazing.” Gu Xiu quickly restrained the shock in his eyes and said with a smile: “I heard that Brother Chi had advanced to a Grade 5 Smith a year ago.
With Brother Chi’s Smithing talents, I’m afraid that you’re not far from Grade 6, yes?”

“There’s still some distance.” Ming Xiu smiled lightly and didn’t say much.

The others couldn’t ask anymore now, but they were all amazed and an unsurpassable sense of respect for him grew in their hearts.

Ming Xiu was known as the number one person in the Inner Sect of the Heavenly Secret Palace not only because of his talent in Arrays and Smithing, but also because of his talent in cultivation.

“Ming Xiu, has your Smithing skills reached Grade 7?” Lou Mu Yan asked telepathically.

Ming Xiu’s eyes that were as deep as a sea of stars melted into a soft colour, “I just entered Grade 7 some time ago.”

“Abnormal monster.” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and uttered two words after a moment.

One must know that the highest evaluation level of the Smiths on Tian’ling Continent was only Grade 10, and it was said that the number one person on the Continent was only a Grade 8 Smith.
It wasn’t impossible to break through Grade 10 with Ming Xiu’s powerful talent.

“You can also refine Grade 6 pills right?” Ming Xiu’s gentle and clear voice carried a smile.

“Mm.
I can barely make Grade 6 pills.” The firmness in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes grew stronger.

But it was because she cultivated to the Core Formation Stage to be able to refine Grade 6 pills and she even had to use a Spirit Flame, so her strength still needed to be improved.

Her cultivation speed was already very fast in the eyes of others, but it was in fact the result of her constant suppression, otherwise she would probably already have advanced to Peak-Phase Sword Sovereign by now.

“Your talent for Alchemy is indeed strong.” Ming Xiu also didn’t expect Lou Mu Yan to actually be able to refine Grade 6 pills, so at the same time as being surprised, there was also an indescribable pride.

The fact that his Array and Smithing skills could reach Grade 7 wasn’t simply because of his excelling talent, but also because he had things to rely on.
However, her Alchemy skills was something that even he was amazed at with his identity.

“By the way, what level of Magic Tool is the ice bangle you gave me?” Lou Mu Yan thought about it and still asked the question in her heart.

Ming Xiu heard the words ‘ice bangle’ and glanced at Lou Mu Yan’s slender wrist.
A smile like a spring breeze rose on his lips, “I’m also not sure, but the ice bangle has been passed down as the most valuable treasure by my maternal clan, so it’s at the very least a Divine Tool.”

He didn’t want to show off to Lou Mu Yan how valuable the thing he gifted her was, but only hoped that she would better understand this ice bangle and activate its wonderful uses.

“Aren’t you afraid of punishment for giving me the most valuable treasure of your maternal clan?” Lou Mu Yan’s brows were furrowed together slightly.

“This is what my mother gave me to give to her future daughter-in-law.
Since I’ve decided on you, it’s naturally yours.” Ming Xiu didn’t hide it either.

The corner of Lou Mu Yan’s lips twitched, “I believe that the ice bangle was gifted to me when we first met right? Could it be that you fell in love with this Miss then?”

“At the time, I only thought that you were rather interesting and didn’t really truly like you.
But there was a voice in my heart that told me to give it to you.
Later, it was proved that the judgement in my heart was correct.
You’re the woman I want to find to spend the rest of my life with.” Ming Xiu’s tone was sincere, and it was indeed from deep in his heart.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled and teased: “It seems that this Miss is so exceptionally charming that you fell in love with me at first sight.”

Ming Xiu listened to her silver bell-like laughter and his heart fluttered.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the occasion wasn’t suitable, he really wanted to pull her into his arms and hug her tightly.

“My woman is naturally exceptionally charming.”

“You’re truly enough!” Lou Mu Yan found that Ming Xiu’s romantic words made her more and more unable to resist—his skin was too thick.

“I said it according to my heart.” The corners of Ming Xiu’s lips rose again.

Lou Mu Yan smiled and changed the topic, “Do you know the uses of the ice bangle?”

“I know a little.” Ming Xiu said: “The ice bangle is an ancestral item passed down on my maternal clan’s side, and was only passed on to the daughter-in-law.
Although it’s been passed down for dozens of generations, but the person who can truly let it recognise as Owner had never appeared.

“I heard from my mother that when the ice bangle is activated, it has the effect of promoting the growth of Spiritual Herbs.
As for more of its usefulness, it’ll only be known when it recognises an Owner.
If the ice bangle recognises an Owner, as their cultivation base increases, more of it will also gradually be activated.
There are bound to be unexpected surprises.” Ming Xiu finished in one breath.

Lou Mu Yan was stunned.
What surprised her most was that the ice bangle had been passed down for so many generations and yet none of them were successfully recognised as Owners.

But she was obviously connected with the ice bangle, and the gentleness and kindness it spread towards her meant that it had recognised her as Owner.
