Chapter 171 – Master, do you choose to die or to perish? (12)
Even after Yun Ze approached, she even took the initiative to raise her hand and pat the shoulders of the young man who was much taller than her.
“Not bad.”
The emotions displayed by Yan Luo made Lin Qing’s brows slightly furrow.
He hadn’t expected Yan Luo to value Yun Ze so much.
Beside Lin Qing, Gu Sicun’s eyes dimmed slightly, but he knew that he wasn’t the one Yan Luo truly wanted to teach. However, she never neglected him, and over the years, she had provided him with comprehensive guidance in everything, whether it was techniques or anything else.
Apart from appearing a bit cold, his Master had treated him really well.
And thus… he had no other extravagant hopes.
As Yun Ze felt Yan Luo approaching, his body instinctively tensed, and then that cold fragrance filled his nostrils.
It was a kind of scent that could make people relax and feel at ease.
Yun Ze’s eyes deepened slightly as he glanced at the small hand resting on his shoulder. It was as white as jade, radiating a faint glow. It withdrew after a light touch.
In fact, seeing Yun Ze and Gu Sicun’s soaring heights, Yan Luo felt a bit melancholic. She had wanted to pat their heads affectionately, but alas, she couldn’t reach them.
At this moment, many people’s gazes also fell on Yun Ze. Some strong individuals naturally noticed Yun Ze’s current cultivation level and felt somewhat puzzled. Why would someone with average aptitude like him be accepted as a disciple by Yan Luo, and still receive such treatment from her? Although they were puzzled, no one dared to speak out.
Yan Luo glanced around, then her gaze fell on the ice-blue sword at Gu Sicun’s waist. Although Gu Sicun had water elemental roots, using an ice elemental treasure would greatly enhance his attack power.
And this ice sword was not an ordinary item in the treasure trove of the Lingyun Sect.
Gu Sicun lowered his head respectfully, beginning to recall the problems he had encountered in his cultivation. After all, guidance from someone like Yan Luo, who had mastered ice elemental roots, could bring him great gains with just a little guidance.
Just as he was thinking this, his body slightly stiffened. The cold-chilling sword at his waist trembled slightly and unsheathed itself, falling into Yan Luo’s hand.
The sword was full of spiritual energy and felt slightly cold to the touch. Yan Luo looked at it, then nodded. “As your elemental treasure, it suits you well. This ice crystal stone was found by me earlier, and now it complements you.”
With a wave of her hand, she sheathed the sword, and a faint blue light descended from her hand onto the hilt. The ice-blue crystal, clear and translucent, was tied to the hilt by light-colored threads, with tassels swaying slightly below it.
Gu Sicun immediately felt the slight spiritual power on the crystal, slowly integrating with his own, making his spiritual power operation more flexible. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“Thank you, Master.”
Yan Luo nodded, then looked at Yun Ze, blinking her eyes, her bright eyes showing a hint of doubt.
“Where’s your elemental treasure?”
“It will take some time to choose.” Yun Ze replied, his gaze sweeping secretly over Yan Luo’s face, as if trying to see what she was really thinking deep down.
“Alright,” Yan Luo nodded, a light emitting from her hand, and bursts of spiritual energy dispersed. A silver-white sword slowly appeared in Yan Luo’s hand. “Since you primarily practice thunder elemental spells, this Zhengxuan Sword is what your Grandmaster gave me to pass on to you. It suits you the most.”
