"Third..."

At this moment, Lin Xiao's emotions were indescribable, mostly filled with joy, with a touch of sentimentality.

His aptitude hadn't been considered outstanding in the past, and many questioned why he could become Luo Yusu's disciple. Did someone like him deserve so many cultivation resources?

Now, with the third-ranked Dragon Phoenix Physique, those questioning voices would gradually fade away.

Luo Yusu also felt a bit sentimental. Her lineage, consisting of just three people, all possessed special physiques, and all ranked within the top ten!

"In the entire Cangli Continent, your physique should be the strongest currently. The two physiques ranked above yours are unlikely to appear in Cangli Continent," Luo Yusu explained, thinking Lin Xiao was dissatisfied with the ranking.

"Master, I'm not dissatisfied; I'm too satisfied. Words can't express my gratitude to you. I will repay you with all my efforts in the future," Lin Xiao knew that his transformation into the Dragon Phoenix Physique was entirely due to Luo Yusu's efforts.

Luo Yusu avoided Lin Xiao's fervent gaze and said softly, "Perhaps I inadvertently helped myself too."

This statement left Lin Xiao puzzled, but since his master always spoke in profound terms, he didn't think much of it.

"Can Master's Mystic Heaven Ice Phoenix Body rank in the top ten physiques?" Lin Xiao asked curiously, having truly felt the wonder of the Mystic Heaven Ice Phoenix Body.

"Ranked seventh."

"Truly a top ten physique, its reputation is well-deserved..." Lin Xiao dared not say this aloud, only murmuring to himself.

"If Senior Sister also had a special physique, then everyone at Zixiao Peak would have special physiques, and dominating the sect would be a piece of cake," Lin Xiao couldn't help but imagine the scene.

Luo Yusu glanced at him, knowing some secrets couldn't be revealed to Lin Xiao yet. After all, the Pure Maiden Exquisite Body was too special, ranked fifth among the top ten physiques, and once leaked, who knows how many powerful figures would covet it.

"Fifteen days ago, your Senior Sister sent you an Image Retention Pearl." Mentioning Zhou Wenqing, Luo Yusu remembered something and took out a round jade pearl.

"It's been a while since I've seen Senior Sister. I can finally see what she's up to now," Lin Xiao eagerly infused spiritual power into the Image Retention Pearl after receiving it.

As the name suggests, the Image Retention Pearl is a formation jade pearl that can record images.

Upon infusing spiritual power, the pearl emitted a bright light, projecting an image in the air, complete with sound.

"Spare me, Fairy!"

The scene began, leaving Lin Xiao stunned. Hundreds of demonic cultivators were kneeling and begging for mercy, while a woman in fiery red armor hovered in the air, holding a crimson spear, coldly overlooking the demonic cultivators below.

"Senior Sister!"

Seeing the armored woman, Lin Xiao called out "Senior Sister" from afar.

This call was filled with endless longing.

The red armor clung tightly to Zhou Wenqing's body, fitting like fish scales, showcasing her curvaceous figure. The armor covered her entire body, hiding her face, revealing only a pair of pitch-black eyes.

Then, Lin Xiao watched as Zhou Wenqing unleashed a massacre, slaughtering the hundreds of demonic cultivators.

Lin Xiao's heart warmed, knowing why Senior Sister did this—to vent his anger.

In the image, Zhou Wenqing slaughtered ten cities occupied by the Yellow Springs Demon Sect. Among the numerous corpses, her face armor fell, revealing a face as beautiful as a heavenly immortal.

She seemed to know Lin Xiao was watching and spoke in a voice filled with infinite tenderness, "Little Junior Brother, did you see? Senior Sister avenged you. They hurt my Little Junior Brother, so I, Zhou Wenqing, slaughtered ten demon cities!"

Lin Xiao didn't blink, afraid of missing any expression or word from Senior Sister.

"Don't worry, Little Junior Brother. I'll stab Han Xiao to death sooner or later! He dared to capture my Little Junior Brother to be a furnace for the Reincarnation Hall Master. I, Zhou Wenqing, will capture a Holy Maiden from the Yellow Springs Demon Sect to be a slave for my Little Junior Brother!"

At the end of the scene, Zhou Wenqing made a gesture that only she and Lin Xiao understood, then mischievously smiled and waved goodbye.

Seeing that gesture, Lin Xiao recalled some painful memories, inhaling sharply.

Luo Yusu had a puzzled look in her eyes but refrained from directly asking Lin Xiao about the gesture's meaning.

Lin Xiao didn't dare explain and changed the topic, "Master, after the Asura Trial, I want to visit Senior Sister in Feixue City."

"Go ahead."

Lin Xiao remembered something else, "Senior Sister has been guarding Feixue City for over a decade. She should be close to breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm, or has she already?"

Lin Xiao knew some reasons why Zhou Wenqing was guarding Feixue City.

The Great Luo Sacred Sect, like a vast empire, ruled over extensive lands with 1,360 cities and a population in the billions.

Numerous cities required disciples to guard them, especially those with various spirit mines, needing high-realm disciples for protection.

Feixue City, where Zhou Wenqing was stationed, had an Extreme Flame Fire Mine, rich in fire-attributed spirit stones, making it a crucial mining city for the Great Luo Sacred Sect.

Due to her cultivation technique, Zhou Wenqing also needed the Extreme Flame Fire Mine for her practice, so she applied to the sect to guard Feixue City.

"She could have broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm five years ago, but she's been suppressing her realm, waiting for the right moment," Luo Yusu said as she led Lin Xiao back to the Purple Extreme Hall, sharing some information about Zhou Wenqing along the way.

Lin Xiao listened silently, understanding that the moment Senior Sister was waiting for was likely related to the Extreme Flame Fire Mine, as she went to guard Feixue City specifically for it.

"There's an Earth Core Lotus in the Extreme Flame Fire Mine. Your Senior Sister is waiting for it to mature, which should be within the next two months," Luo Yusu explained.

"I see. I wondered why Senior Sister was lagging behind Yun Mengxi; turns out she was intentionally suppressing her realm."

Lin Xiao and Luo Yusu entered the Purple Extreme Hall, their gaze falling on a certain spot on the ground, which was spotless, leaving no trace.

The corpse of the Black Flood Dragon King was gone, having been dismembered and used by Master for alchemy and artifact crafting.

Seeing Lin Xiao glance at a certain spot on the ground, Luo Yusu silently cursed 'rebellious disciple' in her heart.

"Ahem, Master, how did you handle the Black Flood Dragon King's corpse?" Lin Xiao sought a topic to ease the awkwardness.

A flash of light appeared before Luo Yusu, revealing a set of black dragon scale armor in front of Lin Xiao.

This armor emitted an aura surpassing that of a treasure!

"A Quasi-Saint Artifact?" Lin Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

"Not yet, it's not fully refined. Currently, it's equivalent to a top-grade treasure, but once fully refined, it will become a Quasi-Saint Artifact."

Refining a Quasi-Saint Artifact is extremely difficult and can't be accomplished in a short time. Luo Yusu gave it to Lin Xiao for now to protect him during the Asura Trial.

"Master is truly wonderful."

Lin Xiao was moved, wanting to repay his master day and night.

"Additionally, I'll teach you my cultivation technique..." Luo Yusu glanced at the corner of the hall, her expression slightly unnatural.

Lin Xiao was overjoyed, not fully understanding the implication: "I can cultivate Master's technique too?"

"You already possess the Ice Phoenix Power, so naturally, you can cultivate my technique. Otherwise, how would that Ice Phoenix Power grow?" Luo Yusu withdrew her gaze, regaining her composure.

"Sit down, and I will teach you the 'Ice Phoenix Divine Evolution Technique.'"

Lin Xiao immediately sat cross-legged in front of Luo Yusu, his gaze inadvertently falling on her legs, his mind uncontrollably recalling two snow-white jade legs and that trace of blood...
