I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Domain vanished, revealing the ancient appearance of the great mountains. The woman slightly tilted her head, looking at Xu Yan with a thoughtful expression. Her slow and clumsy manner gave her a naive and endearing vibe.

The two from the Imperishable Temple, however, were shocked.

The Domain had disappeared, but not truly vanished; it had transformed into terrifying Sword Intent that enveloped the two of them.

At this moment, they felt as if they were in a fiercely lethal Sword Domain.

The Domain wasn't large, just big enough to cover the two of them, but it was incredibly fierce, with an aura of death enveloping them.

Ah!

With a loud roar, the two from the Imperishable Temple immediately used a secret technique. A strong aura surged, and two ferocious faces appeared, opening their huge mouths as if they wanted to devour and annihilate the Sword Intent enveloping them.

Puff!

Xu Yan raised his hand and with a thunderous sound, the powerful Sword Intent wiped out everything. Despite the two men's desperate resistance, they couldn't change their fate of turning to ash.

The battle was over in just a moment.

The two Realm Master Level powerhouses from the Imperishable Temple turned to ash and dissipated.

The Sword Intent had disappeared, but the aura of annihilation still lingered where the two had perished. The great mountains were turning into sand-like substance and dissipating into the Chaos, as if undergoing annihilation.

After killing the people from the Imperishable Temple, Xu Yan looked towards the woman.

Now, the woman had returned to her usual appearance. Her pupils were pitch-black and bright, attentively examining him, her face slowly revealing a curious expression.

Apart from fighting, every action, every gesture, and the expressions on the woman's face all seemed slow and clumsy, adorably naïve in a baffling way.

"My name is Xu Yan; how may I address the lady?"

Xu Yan revealed a warm smile.

"Xu Yan?"

The woman slightly tilted her head, seemingly pondering, "I am called... Ming Yu."

"So, you are Miss Ming Yu. Meeting here in the vast Land of Imperishable is also a kind of fate," Xu Yan said with a smile.

Ming Yu, with her slow demeanor, pondered, "Fate?"

She seemed to be contemplating what the word "fate" meant, and after a long pause, continued, "If meeting is fate, can you protect me, escort me part of the way?"

Ming Yu's slow manner was extremely weird—it didn't seem normal, but she also didn't appear foolish, exuding a kind of inexplicable strangeness that intensely piqued Xu Yan's curiosity about her identity.

"Fate has its considerations; escorting you some way isn't a problem, but our current connection isn't enough for a long journey. We'll need to add a bit more value to our fate, such as a reward," Xu Yan said with a smile.

Though curious about Ming Yu, since she suggested it, escorting her some way certainly wasn't a problem. Perhaps he might figure out exactly who—or what—she was.

Moreover, Ming Yu's enemies were from the Imperishable Temple. Disrupting their plans and annoying them was something Xu Yan was quite happy to do.

But he couldn't just agree outright; he had to get something from Ming Yu, perhaps a surprising gain.

Ming Yu blinked, her slow thoughts seemingly processing Xu Yan's words.

After a long while, Ming Yu seemed to understand.

"A reward? Sure, but what kind of reward do you need?"

Xu Yan, secretly delighted, still smiled and said, "Ordinary things are of no use to me. Something special, beneficial to Domain, or even rare plants, can be a reward."

In the Land of Imperishable, every plant was precious, their value higher than Divine Medicine, and some even contained attributes of deceased True Spirits.

Ming Yu was thinking again, taking a long time to contemplate what kind of reward would be appropriate.

Xu Yan was puzzled why Ming Yu was extremely agile in combat, not needing to think between offense and defense without any slowness, but why simple communication appeared so slow?

"I don't have much in the way of rewards."

Ming Yu finally spoke, "I don't know what you like, but if it's a plant, I have one. I don't know if you'd like it."

"Why not let me see it?"

"Okay!"

Ming Yu nodded.

She reached into the sleeve of her left hand, pulling something out.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Xu Yan asked, "Excuse me for asking, Miss Ming Yu, but are you human?"

Ming Yu paused her hand, blinking at Xu Yan, with a naive and confused look, "Human?"

Her mind seemed to freeze, deep in thought.

The corners of Xu Yan's mouth involuntarily twitched. Ming Yu was too odd, seemingly not very intelligent, or perhaps slightly eccentric.

"Oh, you mean human? I am human!"

After a long ponder, Ming Yu finally showed a look of realization as if she had finally understood what Xu Yan meant by "human," and nodded solemnly to affirm that she was indeed human.

After a pause, Ming Yu added, "I am a woman!"

Xu Yan couldn't help but say, "I am a man!"

Ming Yu blinked, staring at him for a long while, as if her mind was slow on the uptake again.

"So you are a man, nice to meet you!"

Ming Yu revealed a sweet smile.

Xu Yan:...

"This is my reward; do you like it?"

Ming Yu pulled her hand out of her sleeve, holding a vibrant green bamboo, about three feet long, rich with the aura of life, misting around the bamboo. As soon as she brought it out, the area within several feet freshened up, and the violent Spiritual Energy calmed.
