Yuan Xuan’s gaze is now entirely on Xiahou Xuexiang. She can see Xiahou Xuexiang directly through this Chaos Barrier, but people outside have no idea what’s happening inside unless another Nascent Soul Stage cultivator suddenly appears. However, how is that possible, though? Around a whole Alpha-level large city, there’s only one such person, and that’s Yuan Xuan herself, and she’s just a first-level Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

"Why do you say that?" Yuchi asked with a smile.

The previous conversation was going well, so why suddenly bring up Xiahou Xuexiang? Could it be that Yuan Xuan has some basic understanding of Xiahou Xuexiang?

"Her sect wasn’t destroyed by sheer bad luck; it’s because she is somewhat special. You think what I’m saying is a joke, but in reality, she does bring bad luck to people."

Yuchi couldn’t see Xiahou Xuexiang’s current state, but upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, once you activate the second Divine Soul, your perception ability greatly increases. You can see others’ fate charts and things that ordinary cultivators cannot see. So saying that real cultivation begins after the Nascent Soul Stage is not untrue.

Yuchi pondered for a moment and then smiled slightly, "So can you also see those things on her, Xuan’Er?"

Indeed, Yuan Xuan didn’t feel like Yuchi was just saying that on purpose. After all, since they are both Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, their Divine Soul powers should be similar. It’s just that not being from Medicine Master Valley, they don’t know how to use the Divine Soul to fight, much less know how to use them earnestly, so she spoke seriously:

"I can see a black shadow behind her. This shadow wraps around her neck, tightening her luck. Although the shadow won’t directly devour her life, its arrival indeed represents calamity. The specific thing is something I’ve only seen in ancient texts. If we want to thoroughly understand this shadow, either seek out Medicine Master Valley or Divine Skill Temple."

"Whatever the case, I do not recommend you take her as a disciple. This shadow won’t harm her but will harm those around her, greatly reducing the surrounding people’s fortune. Simply put, it’s an existence that drags others’ fate to the bottom of a valley, a very inauspicious thing."

Yuan Xuan’s own eyes are blind, but she can perceive this; it’s from the second level of the Nascent Soul, the pair of eyes belonging to her Divine Soul. These eyes can sense the existence of such things. Simply put, it’s akin to having opened a Yin-Yang Eye, able to perceive odd and bizarre things.

And as a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the things learned in a lifetime are substantial. Even if it’s impossible to achieve mastery in all areas, simply knowing some situations is attainable.

Yuchi fell into silence.

The amount of information in Yuan Xuan’s words was overwhelming; he needed some brief time to quickly analyze the current situation.

Firstly, does this shadow really exist? Could Yuan Xuan be fabricating it all? Hmm... not likely, considering that Yuan Xuan can see her own Blood Fate Chart, it’s naturally possible she can see even more things. Unfortunately, he himself is not a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, making verification difficult.

Besides Medicine Master Valley, there is also Divine Skill Temple? If the Divine Skill Temple can be mentioned alongside Medicine Master Valley, does that mean Divine Skill Temple is also a particularly formidable existence?

Finally, can this shadow really drag down fortune to the bottom? Does the world truly have such a notion of fortune? Impossible for there to be some nonsense about a "Child of Destiny," right?

Yuchi became somewhat anxious.

He just came to Cuncha City to make money, originally wanting to learn more about the surrounding situation. But at the end of the day, he never expected to encounter a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. Those are Nascent Soul Stage cultivators he hasn’t been able to cultivate, but he still knows what a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator signifies.

The Ascension Gate has so many disciples helping him cultivate, yet he is only at the fourth level of the Golden Core Stage. The time required to break through to the Spirit Storage Stage is unknown, let alone achieving Nascent Soul Stage; such a timeline is unimaginable.

Not only did he meet Yuan Xuan, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, but he also learned about more mysterious matters. If he wasn’t able to control his microexpressions well, knowing this for the first time, he certainly couldn’t have maintained calm.

"Let’s take it slowly; I still think she’s my disciple," Yuchi said honestly.

Yuan Xuan nodded gently, her expression gradually becoming much more restrained:

"It’s fine; as long as you can control it yourself, it’s good. But with things at such a level, it’s best not to touch them. Cultivating through the Nascent Soul, we have seen countless partings of life and death. Sometimes you need to let go; you and I... we’re not children anymore."

Not children anymore? Yuchi held onto Yuan Xuan’s words, then smiled: "Yes, you have grown up, become so beautiful and capable. Previously, you even deceived me directly; I thought you were really as cold as ice, but I didn’t realize your heart was still so gentle."
