"Yes, Tianchan, you have done well. Though the plan can no longer be carried out, properly managing and developing the Xuandan Sect is also a fine way forward. I have high hopes for you!" Elder Ancestor Xuanchen said.
"Yes. In the future, I ask for your guidance, Martial Uncle!" Tianchan said, cupping her hands in salute.
"Very good. You may go now. Make haste and give that Earth Drill Star your reply—don't keep him waiting. After all, he is our ally, is he not?" Elder Ancestor Xuanchen instructed.
"This disciple will go to him at once!" Tianchan answered hurriedly.
Tianchan returned to her quarters and casually glanced at her phone. She did not know why, but ever since she had come back from the trial, she had acquired the habit of checking her phone—not checking it left her uneasy, yet checking it left her somewhat disappointed.
In the past, Tianchan would not look at her phone even once in half a month, and would not even turn it on, because the Xuandan Sect still preserved many ancient customs—whenever there was a matter, it was passed along by disciples and servants.
Seeing that there was actually a missed call on her phone, Tianchan was slightly taken aback. She hurriedly checked it in a fluster—it was a number she recognized!
He... had called her? She had been meaning to call him herself, to explain to him the pros and cons of this matter, but she had not expected him to call first. At this thought, Tianchan hastily pressed the callback button.
"Tianchan?" Wei Zhao had not expected Tianchan to call back so quickly, and he hurriedly picked up.
"Yes... it's me..." Hearing that familiar voice, Tianchan felt a certain special sensation in her heart. "You were looking for me?"
"Yes. Are you doing all right...?" The words were on the tip of Wei Zhao's tongue, but they came out as a question.
"Yes, quite well. And you?" After asking, Tianchan felt it was a superfluous question—she knew nearly every move Wei Zhao had made since returning to the Xuandan Sect inn. There was no need to ask at all.
"I'm doing quite well too..." Wei Zhao said.
"You didn't call me just to ask that, did you..." Tianchan suddenly laughed. "What is it?"
"There is something I wanted to ask you—it's about the claw of the Five Baleful Dragon that I obtained earlier. You know about it, right?" As he spoke, Wei Zhao recounted Little Nine's illness to Tianchan in detail. "Do you know how to use the claw of the Five Baleful Dragon?"
"You... want to know how to use the claw of the Five Baleful Dragon?" A most peculiar expression immediately appeared on Tianchan's face—a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"That's right. You know?" Wei Zhao was suddenly rather excited. From Tianchan's tone, it seemed she did know how to use the claw of the Five Baleful Dragon.
"Yes, I know," Tianchan said with certainty. "Things from earth-attribute spirit beasts must be paired with a mate and a medicinal catalyst before they can be used on cultivators who have earth-attribute problems in their bodies. This catalyst exists only at the Loess Plateau Sect in the Western Regions. That place is the birthplace of the earth attribute. At the Loess Plateau Sect there is a hundred-million-year-old underground karst cave, and inside it is a stalactite that is the very essence of earth-attribute power. The stalactite liquid dripping from it is earth-attribute essence liquid—extremely precious!"
"Oh? You mean I have to go to the Loess Plateau Sect to beg for this earth-attribute essence liquid?" Wei Zhao asked at once.
"Correct. But this earth-attribute essence liquid is exceedingly rare and precious—only one small bottle can be collected every hundred years, and that is enough for a single use..." Tianchan said.
