"When I was young, I thought the jade was beautiful, so I begged my father to cut off a piece and make it into this pendant. But this Sand of Time is extremely hard. Even with my father’s cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Refining, it took great effort to cut it. As for fine carving, it was impossible."

"Auntie, don’t be nervous. This is not Azure Origin City. There is no need to follow the rules of those aristocratic families, and you do not need to call me Immortal Master either. Just follow the conventions of the cultivation world," Fu Young said. Then, catching the important part, he asked curiously, "So you still have a large piece of this Sand of Time?"

"Yes... I mean, yes. When I decided to come to Snowy Cave Mountain to search for Eternal Prosperity Sect, I packed everything into my storage pouch and brought it with me," An Yu said.

She reached toward the gray storage pouch at her waist and brushed it lightly.

Immediately, a crystal nearly one meter tall that was clear and radiant appeared before Fu Young.

Fu Young looked at it with curiosity and reached out to touch it a few times. Seeing this, An Yu quickly said, "This Sand of Time is of no use to me. If you like it, senior, I can give it to you."

Fu Young hesitated slightly.

After a few seconds of thought, he said, "I cannot decide on the matter you are asking for. Only my master can make that decision. However, the future you foresaw may indeed be true. Our sect currently has a four spiritual root technique that requires testing. What four spiritual roots do you and your child have?"

"This Sand of Time is only a small token of my sincerity. There is no need for you to give anything in return," An Yu said seriously. "I have metal, wood, water, and fire spiritual roots. My child has metal, wood, water, and earth spiritual roots. My body is already failing, but this child still has a chance. Even if he becomes a test subject for a new technique, it is still better than the future I saw. In that dream, many people envied Yu Saixi and despised her for not cherishing her opportunity."

"That technique is suited for metal, wood, water, and fire spiritual roots. It is suitable for you, but not for your child," Fu Young replied.

An Yu said dejectedly, "But my body is already..."

"Since you know the future, then you should also know the methods of Eternal Prosperity Sect. Such minor injuries are nothing. However, your cultivation must be dispersed and you must start over again. Also, to prevent something like Yu Saixi from happening again, you and your child are not allowed to leave Snowy Cave Mountain. Without permission, you cannot enter the sect either. You can only be outer disciples for now. Are you willing to accept that?"

If she refused, then she would have to die.

A fleeting killing intent flashed through Fu Young’s bright eyes.

The future of his master and Snowy Cave Mountain must never be exposed.

An Yu had no idea that the seemingly sunny boy before her harbored such ruthlessness.

Hearing that her injuries could be healed and that she could cultivate the legendary Four Symbols Mixed Origin Art, she felt as if fortune had descended from the heavens.

She did not care about the other conditions at all.

She was not as foolish as Yu Saixi.

She would never give up such an opportunity over trivial matters.

She knew very well how difficult it was for those with mixed spiritual roots to cultivate.

Now that she had a chance to change her fate, even being restricted as an outer disciple was nothing.

Even being locked in a prison would not matter.

As long as she could grow stronger and gain recognition, there would always be a chance to change her situation.

She nodded quickly. "This disciple is willing. But what about my child?"

"Do not worry. There is also a suitable technique for metal, wood, water, and earth spiritual roots. He can begin cultivating after he turns six. However, like you, he can only be an outer disciple."

Fu Young had no intention of letting others call his master by that title.

His master belonged to him alone.

He casually stored away the Sand of Time, then took out a top-grade Life Rejuvenation Pill and handed it to An Yu.

"This pill will heal all your injuries. Disperse your cultivation, then recover. I will go and seek my master’s decision."

"Yes, I understand, disciple will obey."

After An Yu received the pill, she smelled its rich fragrance and suddenly realized she did not yet know the name of the young man before her. She quickly asked, "May I ask how I should address you, senior brother?"

"My name... is the same Fu Young you saw in your vision of the future Eternal Prosperity Sect," Fu Young said with a bright and cheerful smile. "Remember, when you meet my master in the future, you are not allowed to tell him about the things you foresaw."

If his master found out about the foolish things he would do in the future, he would probably laugh at him every day.

After saying that, Fu Young tossed out a Tier 2 defensive formation plate, then stepped on his Flying Cloud Boots and swiftly flew away.

An Yu trembled when she heard this.

So this was the ruthless figure who, twenty years later, would instantly kill Yu Saixi, slaughter numerous Golden Core cultivators, and even more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, then calmly escape while being pursued by a Deity Transformation expert. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

She swallowed his saliva hard.

The fear on her face gradually turned into excitement.

Although she could not clearly sense Fu Young’s current cultivation level, she was certain he was still in the Qi Refining stage.

Qi Refining now, yet Golden Core in twenty years, and capable of killing across realms...
