"Er… this…"
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Sang Yu was speechless for a moment.
Although she was not an alchemist who specialized in Alchemy.
She still knew that the path of Alchemy was definitely not simpler than the path of Source Arts or the path of cultivation.
Jun Xiaoyao's casual remark would likely crush the confidence of countless Great Grandmasters of Alchemy, or even Great Emperors of the Dao of Alchemy.
Not long after.
Granny Lian and the others trembled, and black Qi emerged from their bodies, dissipating into the Void Realm.
At the same time, they spat out a large mouthful of pitch-black blood that corroded the ground, emitting a hissing sound.
After this, the auras of Granny Lian and the others gradually stabilized.
Their faces, which had been as pale as paper, regained a hint of ruddiness.
"Many thanks to Young Master for saving our lives; we have no way to repay this kindness!"
Granny Lian and the others bowed solemnly to Jun Xiaoyao.
The grace of saving a life is greater than the heavens.
"There is no need for this; it was merely a small effort."
"Besides, my gains were not small," Jun Xiaoyao said, waving his hand.
In truth, when he came this time, he was originally just curious about the sect of Source Arts behind Sang Yu.
He also wanted to recruit some Source Masters for the future Jun Imperial Court.
Who could have expected that there would be an unexpected bonus instead.
He had obtained a Chaos crystal mineral vein, as well as the even rarer and more precious yin-yang chaos source root.
Therefore, strictly speaking, this trip was a huge profit for Jun Xiaoyao, and he had gained a bountiful harvest.
As for saving Granny Lian and the others, it was just something done in passing.
"Regardless, Young Master's grace in saving our lives is a fact."
"If there is anything at all that we can do to help Young Master, this old woman will not refuse," Granny Lian said sincerely.
"That is not necessary, but regarding Sang Yu, I am indeed quite curious."
Jun Xiaoyao said straightforwardly.
Hearing this, Sang Yu's clear, dark-and-white eyes revealed a trace of surprise.
Jun Xiaoyao was actually interested in her?
Sang Yu felt that she was unremarkable and very ordinary.
For an existence like her, being able to meet Jun Xiaoyao was already a great stroke of luck.
Granny Lian, however, did not look surprised.
It seemed she had already anticipated this.
With the vision of a figure like Jun Xiaoyao, it was natural he could see the special aspects of Sang Yu.
Immediately, Granny Lian dismissed the others.
Inside the Taoist temple, only Jun Xiaoyao, Sang Yu, and Granny Lian remained.
"Originally, there were some things that should have been explained beforehand."
"It just so happens that I will tell you all at once."
Granny Lian looked at Sang Yu and said.
"Granny Lian, what do you mean..." Sang Yu also revealed her confusion.
Could it be that Granny Lian still had something she hadn't told her?
Granny Lian sighed slightly and began to recount some past events.
In the early days, Granny Lian practiced the Source Arts.
Searching for Dragons and marking acupoints, exploring various realms.
And once, while searching for a secret location.
She accidentally fell into a sealed ancient land.
Inside that ancient land, there was surprisingly an ancient Immortal Cave.
Inside it, Granny Lian discovered some ancient scrolls and rare books.
What shocked her was that.
This Immortal Cave was actually left behind by a predecessor of the Celestial Master Lineage.
One must know that the Celestial Master Lineage and the Earth Master Lineage.
Are both the most mysterious, ancient, and powerful top-tier schools within the Source Arts.
They could be considered the rarest Legacy of the Source Arts.
After Granny Lian found out, she was ecstatic.
The Legacy of the Celestial Master Lineage was simply an unimaginable Opportunity for a Source Master.
Although that Immortal Cave did not contain all the secret treasures of the Celestial Master Lineage.
It was just a Legacy left by one of the predecessors of the Celestial Master Lineage.
But it was still extremely precious, containing many Source Arts techniques, as well as ancient artifacts and so on.
And in the deepest part of this Immortal Cave.
Granny Lian discovered a piece of ancient Immortal Source.
Inside the Immortal Source, a petite and exquisite figure of a young girl was sealed.
Granny Lian was extremely shocked, but she still brought the young girl out of the Immortal Source.
And that young girl was naturally Sang Yu.
However, when Sang Yu woke up, she seemed to have no memories at all.
Her mind was a blank slate, just like a newborn infant.
Granny Lian also found an excuse.
Saying that Sang Yu was an orphan without parents, whom she had accidentally found and taken in.
Afterward, Granny Lian also taught Sang Yu some of the path of Source Arts.
What surprised her was that.
Sang Yu had an extremely monstrous talent for the Source Arts.
No matter what Source Arts she practiced, she could grasp them easily, and was even self-taught.
If it were just that, it would have been fine.
Later, Granny Lian took Sang Yu to search for treasure in an Ancient Tomb.
And accidentally discovered that Sang Yu's Physique was also very special.
She was actually able to be immune to curses.
This Sang Yu was actually the extremely special and rare Physique that repels all evil.
All curses and evil spirits could not contaminate her body.
She was simply born to be a Source Master.
Granny Lian understood that Sang Yu's background was likely very extraordinary.
Otherwise, she could not have been sealed within the Immortal Cave of a predecessor of the Celestial Master Lineage.
After listening to Granny Lian's narration.
Sang Yu was also stunned.
She never expected that she would have such a background.
Jun Xiaoyao was not surprised.
Sang Yu herself was somewhat special; if she had no background at all, it would actually be very strange.
"The Celestial Master Lineage, huh…"
Jun Xiaoyao murmured.
This could be considered the most mysterious, yet also the most well-known lineage among Source Masters.
In the Boundless Starry Sky, there were once big shots from the Celestial Master Lineage whom even the Hegemon Clan had to treat as honored guests, actively courting and trying to please them.
Jun Xiaoyao felt that he had truly found a treasure.
Judging from Sang Yu's background, she definitely had an inseparable connection with the Celestial Master Lineage.
Perhaps she might even be a successor of the Celestial Master Lineage.
Coupled with the Physique that repels all evil.
This was simply a born tomb raider—no, a treasure hunter.
Her future was limitless, and she would play a major role.
"So that's how it is…"
After Sang Yu regained her senses, her expression was a bit dazed.
She didn't expect to have such a background.
"Right, take this."
Granny Lian seemed to have thought of something.
She took out a necklace.
Hanging from the necklace was an object with a bronze luster, shaped like a key.
"Granny Lian, this is…"
Sang Yu was somewhat confused.
"Beside the Immortal Source where you were sealed, there was this artifact."
"I studied it for a long time and felt that it might be related to the Legacy of the Celestial Master Lineage."
"I had originally intended to wait for the right Opportunity before giving it to you," Granny Lian said.
The place where she previously found Sang Yu was merely the Immortal Cave of a predecessor of the Celestial Master Lineage.
Although it left behind some Celestial Master Legacy.
It was clearly not all of it.
Granny Lian placed the necklace with the bronze key on Sang Yu's neck.
"Granny Lian…"
In truth, Sang Yu did not blame Granny Lian for keeping it from her.
She knew that Granny Lian was doing it for her own good, not wanting her to be too anxious about her own origins and background.
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Sang Yu and said.
"Miss Sang Yu, as for your background, perhaps it will be cleared up in the future."
"But for now, what you should consider is what to do next."
Granny Lian thought about it and realized it was true.
Although Jun Xiaoyao saved them this time.
What about next time?
Moreover, there was no guarantee that Tianlan Sect and the Huntian Clan wouldn't come looking for them again.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled indifferently and said: "Actually, I think you can leave this place."
"If you cannot find a place, you can temporarily follow me back to the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty."
Jun Xiaoyao had developed a desire to recruit them.
Sang Yu was definitely a functional talent worth investing in and cultivating.
She would definitely bring huge returns in the future.
Of course, Jun Xiaoyao would not force them; everything depended on Sang Yu's own choice.
