Lou Qianxue was angry about the jade. She wanted to throw it away, but then she thought about it. This world was always about the survival of the fittest, and also, that man looked rather impressive. If she kept the jade, who knew that it might really save her life in crucial times. So, she stored it away.
The desire to become stronger made Lou Qianxue rush into her room and begin training.
” I will practice for one more day, and then, I will be able to nourish the mysterious white paper in my dantian. It would completely turn into gold color. The mysterious white paper has absorbed ten years of my strength, and I don’t know what kind of changes it will bring to my body after becoming golden…”
Lou Qianxue was anxious, yet, she looked forward to the outcome. After shutting both eyes, she quickly absorbed the aura from heaven and earth. She absorbed it into her body, and continuously nourished the mysterious paper in the dantian…
Under the nourishment of the energy, the mysterious paper that was floating in the dantian slowly turned completely gold.
Finally
Lou Qianxue’s dantian seemed to have exploded. She felt a great pain hit her veins, and everything before her went black. She had lost consciousness.
…
When Lou Qianxue woke up again, her surroundings were no longer the familiar room she was in.
Her expression slightly changed, and she sat up violently. She looked around her. “Where is this? Why am I here?”
She could only see boundless wilderness all around. In front of her, there lay a mysterious stone boundary marker that exuded an ancient atmosphere.
She had not sensed any danger yet. Qianxue sighed in relief and got up to go near the boundary marker. She spotted 4 lively dragons on the marker and the words ‘Soaring Vigor’ in large font.
“Mountain River Boundary Marker?” Lou Qianxue murmured to herself. “What is this?”
“This is the treasure of the Lou Family of Mountain River, and the core of Mountain River space.” The voice of an old person suddenly came.
“Who?” The sudden voice scared Lou Qianxue. She cautiously looked around and saw an illusory old figure floating above the Mountain River boundary marker in front of her.
“… are you a human or a ghost?” Lou Qianxue retreated by a few steps and glared at the illusory figure.
“Girl, you have practiced the [Mountain River Sword Technique], and yet, you don’t know about the Lou Family of Mountain River?”
Lou Family of Mountain River? It sounded domineering and like a big deal, but she really had not heard of it before. But this person mentioned the [Mountain River Sword Technique], which was the only thing that her mother had left for her. This made her feel some sense of familiarity, and she trusted the words a bit.
“I’ve never heard of any Lou Family of Mountain River.” Although her family name was Lou, she didn’t think they were connected.
Soon enough, Lou Qianxue spoke again. “What exactly is this place, and who are you? Why am I here?”
“It’s a long story, but to revitalize the Mountain River space, I have used up too much energy. Soon, I will fall into a deep slumber. So, I can only pick the most important things to tell you.” The old person’s voice was very serious, which made Lou Qianxue take them significantly.
“Young one, first, I want to tell you that you are a descendant of the Lou Family of Mountain River. The Lou Family of Mountain River were once invincible victors who could pause time and space easily, and day and night. You should be proud of your family.”
