Han Yue

"Puff!"

The exchange between Lu Yunxiao and the elder evoked laughter from a young man on the side.

Hearing the laughter, Lu Yunxiao couldn't help but shift his gaze. Suddenly, a beautiful figure came into view.

She had long silver hair, a tall stature, and wore a silver robe, giving her a slightly cold demeanor.

Although her cheeks were slightly thin, she possessed an absolutely beautiful face with fair skin, captivating eyes, and an alluring figure. Even in a robe, her graceful curves were remarkably seductive.

With her long silver hair and silver robe, she resembled a fairy from the moon palace, untouched by worldly matters. However, her sudden laughter added a touch of warmth to her otherwise distant aura.

To be fair, this woman's appearance was slightly superior to Xiao Yu's, and even compared to Yun Yun, she didn't fall short.

Her strength was also not weak; she was a one-star fighting spirit practitioner.

"Who is this?" Lu Yunxiao raised an eyebrow and asked softly.

"Allow me to introduce her," Elder Liu began but was interrupted by the woman herself. "Elder Liu, let me handle it. My name is Han Yue, and I lead the 'Moon Spirit' faction in the inner courtyard."

Han Yue introduced herself and then extended her hand toward Lu Yunxiao, eliciting a somewhat surprised reaction from Elder Liu.

As far as he knew, Han Yue had always maintained a reserved demeanor around men and had never taken such an initiative. It seemed like this was her first time doing so. However, when he observed Lu Yunxiao's impeccable appearance and considered that he was the first person to break free from Heart Inflammation, Elder Liu's eyes flickered as if he had understood something.

"Hello, Senior Sister Han Yue, I am Lu Yunxiao."

Lu Yunxiao was momentarily stunned but extended his hand, lightly touching hers before retracting it. He maintained a respectful distance, displaying proper etiquette.

However, his thoughts were churning. Upon encountering Han Yue, he remembered the Geocentric Body Tempering Milk, a valuable item.

The Geocentric Body Tempering Milk was said to be guarded by a fifth-order beast, and Lu Yunxiao had his own fifth-order Star Jiao as a guardian. Obtaining the Geocentric Body Tempering Milk might not be an impossible feat.

However, he wasn't certain if Han Yue had discovered the Geocentric Body Tempering Milk's location.

Considering the timeline, she shouldn't have. Two years had passed since the original story, and during that time, Xiao Yan had stumbled upon and claimed the Geocentric Body Tempering Milk. Lin Xiuya and Han Yue had both pursued it but found nothing.

Nonetheless, Lu Yunxiao was unaware of the precise location of the Geocentric Body Tempering Milk within the vast inner courtyard territory, presenting a challenge.

"Are you Lu Yunxiao, the one with the fifth-order spiritual pet?" Elder Liu widened his eyes. Was this the same Lu Yunxiao who had swept through the Fire Energy Hunting Competition?

Han Yue also blinked her beautiful eyes, curiosity in her gaze. Lu Yunxiao's name had gained significant recognition in the inner courtyard.

After all, having a fifth-order spiritual pet was unheard of, and everyone was interested in it.

"That's correct," Lu Yunxiao replied, confirming his identity.

"It seems you're the young man with the fifth-order spiritual pet. Remarkable enough, those old folks weren't exaggerating," Elder Liu commented.

Lu Yunxiao's information was well-known among the inner courtyard's elders. Not only did he possess a fifth-order spiritual pet, but his personal talent also exceeded that of almost everyone in the inner courtyard.

Entering the inner courtyard at the age of fifteen, Lu Yunxiao had made history.

Furthermore, his combat strength was nearly at the Dou Ling level despite being at the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Master realm. This was quite commendable.

A true peerless genius!

Although the inner courtyard's elders remained silent, they were closely monitoring his progress. After all, a genius like him, as long as he didn't meet an untimely end, would undoubtedly rise to prominence.

"The elder's praise is too kind," Lu Yunxiao responded modestly.

"I'm not exaggerating. You're indeed a genius. By the way, are you planning to practice in the training room? Han Yue, guide him to a suitable room and brief him on what to pay attention to. Young man, if you encounter any issues, feel free to find me," Elder Liu said, patting his chest generously. When it came to future Tianjiao students destined for greatness, he didn't mind establishing a good rapport.

"Thank you, Elder Liu," Lu Yunxiao expressed his gratitude.

"School Brother Yunxiao, follow me," Han Yue said, leading him away while attracting envious glances from surrounding students.

Waving to them, Han Yue brought Lu Yunxiao to a halt on the fourth floor.

"School Brother Yunxiao, since it's your first time entering the Sky Refining Distillation Tower, we'll practice on the fourth floor to deepen your foundation."

Han Yue regarded Lu Yunxiao, her usually cold tone softened.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Han Yue," Lu Yunxiao whispered.

"It's nothing." Han Yue shook her head slightly and continued softly, "School Yunxiao, you don't need to join any other factions for now. Would you be interested in joining our 'Moon Spirit'? We offer excellent benefits."

Facing a genius like Lu Yunxiao, Han Yue naturally wanted to recruit him into her faction. Moreover, with Lu Yunxiao's fifth-order spiritual pet, 'Moon Spirit' would instantly become the top faction in the inner courtyard, a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Additionally, Han Yue found Lu Yunxiao quite pleasing to the eye, despite her embarrassment in admitting it. This young man possessed considerable charm.

"Thank you for your kind invitation, Senior Sister Han Yue, but I currently have no plans to join any other factions," Lu Yunxiao declined Han Yue's offer politely.

"That's a pity. If you ever change your mind, our 'Moon Spirit' faction's door will always be open to you. Please focus on your practice. I'll take my leave now," Han Yue said softly.

"Senior Sister, take care," Lu Yunxiao nodded slightly, watching Han Yue's figure gradually disappear.

Retracting his gaze, Lu Yunxiao took out his Green Fire Crystal Card and swiped it at the entrance of the training room, causing the door to open fully.

Entering, he settled onto an obsidian futon.

As soon as he sat down, an invisible flame suddenly ignited within his body, and the intensity of this flame far surpassed the Heart Inflammation he had encountered earlier.

Lu Yunxiao concentrated his thoughts, and the energy within his body flowed rapidly toward the invisible flame.

A series of hissing sounds could be heard as Lu Yunxiao embarked on the path of condensing his fighting energy.

In the blink of an eye, two weeks passed quietly.

"Huh! My Eight-Star Battle Master pinnacle realm is finally completely stable, and my fighting energy has been re-condensed like fine steel. The effect of this Heart Fire is not bad."

"Next, I need to find a suitable herb to prepare for brewing."

Lu Yunxiao exhaled deeply, standing up from the futon. It was time to get to work.
