The elderly lady could not be young, for the sect master had referred to her as an old friend, making a conservative estimate that she was from the same era as the sect master. Her youthful appearance was likely the result of special techniques for maintaining beauty.
"This is Madam Yun," the sect master introduced.
Lu Ye and Hua Ci both performed a salute: "We've met Madam Yun."
Madam Yun nodded slightly and sized up Lu Ye, then said, "The old immortals mentioned you encountered some fortunes at the Spirit Stream battlefield, including the inheritance of a spirit runes master?"
Lu Ye did not know how this misunderstanding had come about, but it probably had something to do with his ability to activate spirit runes in battle.
Lu Ye turned to look at the sect master, who nodded slightly to give him a cue.
Lu Ye responded, "Yes."
No matter how one thought about it, the Talent Tree was related to the inheritance of a spirit runes master.
