Chapter 1198 - 143: What Is the Immortal Dao!_3

Instantly, Xiao Emei appeared slightly dazed.

As their eyes met, Xiao Emei suddenly realized and immediately snapped back to attention.

She reached out a finger to smooth a few strands of hair that had fallen by her ear.

"My lord, have you read them all?"

"Yes, I have!" Jiang Ning nodded and handed the four ancient books in his hand in front of Xiao Emei.

Xiao Emei also took the four ancient books handed by Jiang Ning and neatly placed them on the shelf.

"My lord, why not stay here at my place for the night?"

Seeing Jiang Ning glance over at her words, Xiao Emei added, "Rest assured, my lord, I dare not entertain any improper thoughts about you now."

"But it’s late now, my lord needn’t travel through the night. It’s not too late to set off after breakfast early tomorrow morning."

"Moreover, I have just prepared some martial arts resources you need around this time. They are now in the treasury, and I’ll hand them to you tomorrow!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Ning felt a stir in his heart.

He had just completed his seventh blood exchange, which had exhausted the resources he’d accumulated during this period.

Furthermore, the consumption of Source Energy Points after breakthrough through the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill was now quite low, with only a little more than ten thousand points left.

He needed to continue breaking through the Yin Yang Soft and Hard Sword.

As this superior sword technique progressed, the improvements would be increasingly significant, and the quality of the traits that emerged would correspondingly improve.

At present, he has few traits related to Sword Dao talent, and he feels that he isn’t yet capable of practicing the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

He still needs to enhance his Sword Dao cultivation.

This means he needs to consume a considerable amount of Source Energy Points.

One could say that he is currently in a period of significant shortage of Source Energy Points.

The martial arts resources prepared by Xiao Emei were like a pillow meeting a sleepy head, alleviating his needs.

"Alright!" He nodded.

"Then, my lord, follow me!" Xiao Emei’s voice suddenly sounded a bit cheerful.

Thump thump thump!!

The two descended the wooden stairs and exited the library.

"Palace Master!!" The two guards at the library entrance immediately greeted Xiao Emei with reverence as she emerged from the library.

"Lord Jiang!" The two also greeted Jiang Ning.

"Hmm!" Xiao Emei nodded, her expression slightly regal, then said, "Secure the library doors and windows, and patrol rigorously without slackening!"

"Yes, Palace Master!" The two female disciples replied respectfully.

Afterward.

The two watched as Jiang Ning and Xiao Emei slowly departed, exchanged glances, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Sister, have you noticed that the current Palace Master has become increasingly aloof and dignified!" one of the younger female disciples said.

"I can sense it; the Palace Master’s appearance is becoming more beautiful! Moreover, the repression from the Palace is stronger now, somewhat akin to the previous Palace Master," replied the slightly older female disciple.

Upon hearing this, the young junior sister widened her eyes.

"Senior Sister, are you implying... the Palace Master has stepped into the Third Grade and achieved Grandmaster status?"

"I didn’t say that! How can the current Palace Master be compared to the previous one! The former Palace Master’s talent was peerless in Dongling County. If not for an unexpected demise, she would have elevated our Water Moon Sword Palace further!"

"Senior Sister, it’s not so simple! Don’t forget about Lord Jiang! In Dongling County, who can compete with him in terms of talent? Without his influence, our Water Moon Sword Palace wouldn’t have reached this point."

"Indeed!" The older senior sister nodded, continuing, "The former Palace Master held grievances towards this Lord Jiang. If the former Palace Master were still in position, this Lord Jiang might have taken action against our Water Moon Sword Palace!"

"That’s true, Senior Sister! But there’s one thing that’s strange!"

"What is it?" The older senior sister looked puzzled.

"Senior Sister, I heard that before the incident, the former Palace Master left a will naming the current Palace Master as the successor, and the reason supposedly sounded quite strange."

"What strange reason, where did you hear such rumors?"

"Never mind about where the news came from, Senior Sister. The former Palace Master’s reason was that the current Palace Master had an extraordinary relationship with Lord Jiang, and it was precisely because of Lord Jiang’s existence that Xiao Emei Senior Sister was appointed as the Palace Master."

As they discussed, their eyes suddenly sparkled.

The flames of gossip burned intensely.
