She could see his change, but he did not answer her, rather observed as she devoured the entire fruit.
"Not bad! This is delicious!" But the moment the words came out of her mouth, her skin seemed to become red.
"This crazy woman actually dared to do this. But then again, this is far more painful, but benefitial to her. As long as she can withstand this pain, her physique should be improved slightly. This is good for strengthening her foundation." He actually didn't think the power contained within the fruit was that much. With his level, it was indeed normal for him to overlook it. Thankfully, it was not harmful, just painful. If QinZhi wants to enter the 7th stage, then some small pain should be nothing to her.

On a boat, a figure sneaked back on. She had a box at hand, and if one observed it closely, they could realize it had a symbol of a lotus. Only those at the sixth and seventh level would understand the meaning of the lotus and not all of them. After all the famous divine healer Chengshan, doesn't give everyone face.
In a certain room, a knock on the door was done three times, and a voice came from the inside. "Come in!"
It was clearly a female voice and yet carried some indifference to it.
"Have you gotten it?" The voice asked again.
"I did! But the divine Healer said you where lucky to have asked for this in advance or you will have to wait for another decade, considering the raw materials for this product have suddenly become scarce, and his collection is still yet to nature!" The voice that replied was also female, only it was different from the first one.
"Mo Shen! You have done a good job! Now that we have accomplished our goal of coming to the sea, we can't just leave like this." The woman's voice floated over again. It wasn't angry at all, rather pleasant to listen to.
"Master? What do you mean?" She indeed was confused.
"It seems that going back just like that after getting this would not match my Bi Yun's name. I think it is about time to make this people understand why no one offends martial artists at the 7th stage easily. I'm not like that old fox Li Xin, I can't take a beating while lying down. Since they almost slapped me, I should at least kick them back."
"Sect master, why do you mean by the Mystic pavilion head ruining their plans? Aren't there other factions that can be pulled together to at" The woman's height was the same as Bi Yun's, but she had a ghost marked mask at this time.
"Mo Shen! You should learn more, compared to that maid always following behind Li Xin, you are lacking. You can't make me loose face. But I can't do anything about your lack of reason!" She looked at Mo Shen, and sighed. She had a fool for a maid, but she still was satisfied with her. The only problem was that she would lose her some face if she let her talk before her peers.
She could only make do with it.
Bi Yun looked toward Mo Shen beside her, before shifting her line of sight towards the box. "It seems that Chengshan is here for another purpose too! But this has little to do with me for the moment. I can't dwell too much into that old fox Li Xin's business. I always have a feeling he hates when others meddle in his business."
"Master seem to always become super excited when taking about the Mystic Pavilion owner." She could see the agitation on Bi Yun's face. Bi Yun herself probably didn't notice it.
But hearing this words, she glared at her maid, before opening the box, and the entire room underwent a drastic change.
Even Mo Shen felt as though she was standing in an ice celler. She couldn't help it, but hurriedly rushed outside. Whatever was in the box was just too cold, that it made the temperature in the room to drop drastically.
When the cover was completely opened, a white flower could be seen, but upon closer inspection, something else was at the very center of the flower, that resembled a marble. It was clearly not cold, rather the cold seemed to be used to suppress it.
"It seems that Chengshan didn't let me down. If I can accomplish my goals soon, I will help you out with that favor. But I don't get why you invited that old fox too." She was clearly not getting gifts for nothing. She seemed to have agreed on a certain deal with Chengshan.
The Black Lotus sect had some Ancient techniques and she took one, as her main foundation. Over the years though, she found out that the practice of this technique was not easy. Only she was able to go beyond others, and at this point she needed external help to progress faster. She didn't even mind coming out to the sea, far from her domain, with her maid alone, to conduct an exchange, showing just how important it was to her.
She was already at the 7th stage of technique and needed external help to reach the pinnacle of Unrivaled stage. Li Xin had already attained this, and this explained why he wasn't threatened by anyone.
Seeing her maid walk out, she focused on the box at hand. Bi Yun was lost in thought. She was considered a genius, but she had also met someone who continued to improve as time passed and that was Li Xin. The Saber technique he used seemed to be evolving every fight they had, in a way, how could she be willing to be left behind.
"It seems that fox Li Xin really has set his eyes on jumping towards the legendary realm. I can't be left behind, or my prestige will become a joke." Some sharp red light flashed her eyes as she looked at the contents in the box. Her competitive nature had been stimulated.
