Lu Zhou pushed the blue lotus out, and it fell on Conch.
Rich vitality energy filled the stone room immediately.
The blue lotus' extraordinary power reduced Conch's temperature, and she was no longer sweating as profusely as before.
Little Yuan'er asked slightly anxiously, "Master, will something happen to Conch?"
"Nothing's going to happen to her with me around." Lu Zhou controlled the blue lotus to heal Conch. Inwardly, he was incredibly puzzled. Conch was already awakening her cultivation base. Moreover, her current cultivation base was not low either. How could something like that happen to her? It was really strange.
While the blue lotus healed Conch, Lu Zhou released his Primal Qi to check Conch's Eight Extraordinary Meridians. However, he did not detect any abnormalities. With this discovery, he grew even more worried. After all, if he could find the problem, he would be able to solve it. How was he going to solve the problem if he could not find the problem?
Lu Zhou did not stop. At this point, he had used half of his extraordinary power.
At this moment, Little Yuan'er suddenly pointed at the bed and exclaimed, "Master!"
Lu Zhou looked up and saw Luo Xuan floating in the air. He was slightly taken aback by this sudden development. At this moment, he felt an inexplicable energy between Luo Xuan and Conch, pulling them to each other.
"Hm? Are they really related?" When this thought had appeared in Lu Zhou's mind long ago, he had dismissed it in the beginning. The age difference between Luo Xuan and Conch was too great, after all. However, his suspicion was aroused again when Yu Zhenghai had reverted to that of a teenager and was in the state of awakening. Yu Zhenghai's condition at that time was rather similar to Conch's condition. However, Jiang Wenxu later firmly refuted the theory. Moreover, after he found the other half of his memory crystal, he had also dismissed the theory again. Together with the notes left by Luo Xuan, he was almost certain Luo Xuan was not Conch.
However, what was happening right now?
Buzz!
A square space in front of Luo Xuan suddenly lit up.
As Conch's master, Lu Zhou definitely would not let any harm come to his disciple. He waved his hand to repel the energy.
At this moment, Lu Zhou saw a jade pendant on Luo Xuan's body. It was the jade pendant that was glowing. When he turned to look at Conch again, he saw that Conch also possessed a jade pendant. At this moment, the two jade pendants seemed to be linked as they tried to reunite.
'Hmm?' Lu Zhou grew even more puzzled.
At this moment, Little Yuan'er said, "Master, Little Junior Sister's complexion is much better now!"
Lu Zhou glanced at Conch. Indeed, she looked much better than before. Since the healing from the blue lotus had been interrupted earlier, this should be the doing of the jade pendants.
Buzz!
The sound of energy resonating from the jade pendants rang in the air.
At this moment, Lu Zhou was still puzzled when he saw spots of starlight around Luo Xuan's body gathering before surging into her jade pendant. Following that, her jade pendant flashed with light and seemed to be transferring energy into Conch's body.
Lu Zhou found this difficult to understand.
The light from Luo Xuan's jade pendant shone brighter and brighter. It was so dazzlingly bright that Lu Zhou had no choice but to look away. For safety reasons, he called Yuan'er to his side, "Yuan 'er, come here."
"Oh."
The connection between the two jade pendants grew stronger and stronger, and the transmission of energy grew more powerful as well.
Buzz!
Lu Zhou silently chanted the mantra from the Human Scrolls of the Heavenly Writing, "For all lives in the universe, their lives, deaths, kindness, evil, merits, and sins can be clearly seen..."
The extraordinary power surged to Lu Zhou's eyes.
At this moment, he could clearly see the speed of the transmission of energy between the jade pendants was increasing. The Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Dantian's sea of Qi were all revealed to him.
After a beat, Lu Zhou put a stop to the power from the Human Scrolls of the Heavenly Writing.
The jade pendant continued to shine dazzlingly.
Lu Zhou took a look at Luo Xuan's eyes; they were still lifeless. However, strange enough, although her eyes were out of focus, it seemed like she was looking at Conch.
Lu Zhou still did not have any answers. Fortunately, he could sense the transmission of energy between the two jade pendants was not harmful. Otherwise, he would have stopped it.
He wondered why Luo Xuan chose Conch? What was Conch's identity?
At this moment, Conch, who was also floating in the air like Luo Xuan, looked as though she was sleeping. Her expression was tranquil.
At this moment, Little Yuan'er pointed at Luo Xuan and called out, "Master! Master! Look! Quick! Look!"
"Stop making a fuss!" Lu Zhou chided Little Yuan'er gently as he raised his hand and knocked her head.
However, when he looked over, he was shocked by the sight that greeted his eyes! No wonder Little Yuan'er had made such a fuss!
At this moment, Lu Zhou saw Luo Xuan staring at Conch like before. However, her dark-as-ink eyes were shining like the bright moon in the sky now! She blinked as a crystal-clear tear fell from the corner of one of her eyes.
Drip!
The sound of the tear falling on the stone ground resounded clearly in the room, pulling Lu Zhou back to the present.
"Luo Xuan," Lu Zhou called out in an even tone.
Unfortunately, it seemed like Luo Xuan did not hear him. She continued looking at Conch fixedly. Soon enough, although her eyes remained fixed on Conch, they turned lifeless again.
Following that, the jade pendant on Luo Xuan rose higher into the air. Her body seemed to be disintegrating into tiny spots of light, like sparkling sand, as it rose up along with the jade pendant. As time passed, after her body completely disintegrated into tiny spots of light, the spots of light surged into the jade pendant before they entered Conch's body through Conch's jade pendant.
It seemed as though Luo Xuan was never here at all.
Lu Zhou frowned. He watched as Luo Xuan's jade pendant slowly fell in the air. With a casual wave of his hand, he drew the jade pendant to him. With another wave, he moved Conch to the now-empty bed.
Meanwhile, Little Yuan 'er looked at her master with a dumbfounded expression. She had no idea what was going on at all.
Lu Zhou looked at the jade pendant in his hand. He fisted his hand slightly, turning the jade pendant into fine powder. With this, a hidden letter in the jade pendant was revealed
Lu Zhou opened the letter. It read:
"If you're reading this letter, then you must have found me. No one in this world can open this letter except for you. I'm very happy to be able to see you again. You must be very smart, cute, and beautiful just like I expected. I hope you're free of worries and that you have freedom. I wished you didn't have to read this letter. I don't want you to follow my path and let others use you.
I know you have many questions, but I can't answer all of them
You came from an unknown place; a place full of suffering and darkness. At that time, you were seriously injured, and your life was in danger. I wanted to save your life, and at the same time, escape my own sea of suffering. Therefore, to help us both, I gave my everything, including all my abilities, to you, except for those memories that are unbearable for me to recall. I really hope you won't repeat my mistakes.
The Great Void Seed improved your physique so your body will be able to bear all of my abilities.
It's normal for people to grow old, fall ill, and die. If I had a choice, I'd rather you lead an ordinary life. However, it seems like the heavens are playing tricks on me. I don't understand why the heavens wanted you to suffer. Why?
Even if I die, I'll use all my abilities to make sure you live…
The concentric jade is the key to solving the problem you have with your powers. I will seal part of my strength that you can't bear yet in the concentric jade key. If we meet again one day, I hope you're living as well as I expected.
Don't let those wicked men use you. Stay away from Jiang Wenxu, Yu Chenshu, and stay away from the Sky Martial Court."
