Wanhua Valley, Yuhua Pavilion.

"Young Valley Master, please follow me!" Shui Ruoyuan led Jiuluo Nanxing through corridors and came to an elegant wing room.

Shui Ruoyuan gently pushed open the door, and a fresh floral scent wafted into her nose.

The room was decorated very delicately, with several ink paintings hanging on the wall. The flowers in the paintings were lifelike, as if they would fall from the paintings at any time.

"Young Valley Master, please take a seat." Shui Ruoyuan pointed to the soft couch beside her and motioned Jiuluo Nanxing to sit down.

Jiuluo Nanxing sat down as he was told and looked at Shui Ruoyuan with some confusion: "Elder Shui, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Shui Ruoyuan is the leader of the Iris Clan and one of her mother Jiu Luoshu's confidants.

Normally, she would rarely talk to him alone, but this time she took the initiative to come to him and brought him to such a secret place. He couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Shui Ruoyuan smiled slightly, walked to the coffee table in front of the window, and began to make tea. Her movements were very graceful, as if every subtle movement was carefully designed.

"Young Valley Master, have a cup of tea first." Shui Ruoyuan handed the brewed tea to Jiuluo Nanxing, with a faint smile on her face.

Jiuluo Nanxing took the teacup and took a sip. The tea was clear and sweet, with a faint floral scent, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Good tea." He praised sincerely.

Shui Ruoyuan smiled and said, "This is the latest Xiangxue Yinming tea refined this year. I hope Young Valley Master likes it."

The two sipped their tea for a while before Shui Ruoyuan spoke slowly, "Young Valley Master, it wasn't me who asked you out, but the Valley Master has something very important to discuss with you today."

As she spoke, Shui Ruoyuan waved her hand, and the two of them suddenly appeared in a secret place.

This secret place is based on the dark night, with stars dotted throughout, as if encompassing the entire night sky.

Although Jiuluo Nanxing had never set foot here, he knew that this was the secret realm of stars in Wanhua Valley and the place where his mother Jiuluoshu practiced.

Why did my mother meet him here? Moreover, judging from Elder Shui's expression, it seemed that this matter was quite mysterious.

"Mother."

He looked towards the depths of the secret realm and saw Jiu Luoshu standing there, dressed in white clothes as white as snow. Against the backdrop of the dark night stars, she seemed to have become the center of this world.

Jiuluo Nanxing walked up to Jiuluo Shu and bowed, "Mother, what is it that you want to talk to me about?"

Jiu Luoshu looked at him, her eyes flashing with complex light. She opened her red lips slightly, and her voice seemed to have traveled through endless time and space, carrying a distant and profound charm.

"Nanxing, do you know what the highest skill of our Wanhua Valley is?"

"The Heart Sutra of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady!" Jiuluo Nanxing answered without hesitation.

This set of skills is the treasure of Wanhua Valley. It is the secret of Wanhua Valley that can only be practiced by successive valley masters and core disciples.

Moreover, this martial art is mysterious and contains the power of the stars. It is the peerless secret book that everyone dreams of.

"That's right." Jiu Luoshu nodded slightly, "The reason why I have held trials at the Flower God Festival every year for the past hundred years is to find disciples who are qualified to practice the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Heart Sutra."

"However, over the years, no one except me has been able to successfully comprehend the secret."

There was a hint of helplessness and regret in Jiu Luoshu's tone.

Jiuluo Nanxing couldn't help but feel moved when she heard what her mother said.

He knew what "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Heart Sutra" meant to Wanhua Valley, and he was even more aware of the status of this technique in the world of cultivation.

"Mother, what you mean is..." He raised his head and looked into Jiu Luoshu's eyes, trying to read more information from them.

Jiu Luoshu took a deep breath, and seemed to be making a great decision: "Nanxing, I have decided to teach you the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Heart Sutra."

Jiuluo Nanxing widened his eyes and looked at his mother in disbelief.

"Mother, I..."

He didn't know what to say. For so many years, because of the sins his father committed, his mother had always hated him and ignored him, leaving him to fend for himself in the valley.

Although he never complained, there was always an insurmountable gap in his heart.

Now, his mother suddenly wanted to teach him the highest skills of Wanhua Valley. How could he not be shocked?

"Nanxing, you don't have to say anything more." Jiu Luoshu raised her hand to stop him from speaking, "This is a decision I made after careful consideration."

"Come, take this first!" As she said that, Jiuluoshu took out an exquisite jade bottle from her arms and handed it to Jiuluo Nanxing.

Jiuluo Nanxing took the jade bottle as instructed, opened the stopper, and immediately a rich fragrance filled her nose.

The aroma was similar to the Xiangxueyin tea he had tasted before, but it was richer and purer.

"This is..." He looked at Jiu Luoshu with some confusion.

"Soul-Binding Pill." Jiuluoshu's voice was calm, but it seemed as if a huge rock was thrown into Jiuluo Nanxing's heart, causing a thousand waves.

"Mother, this..."

"Take it." Jiu Luoshu's tone left no room for doubt, "This is the prerequisite for practicing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Heart Sutra."

Jiuluo Nanxing's hand holding the jade bottle trembled slightly. He looked up at Jiuluo Shu, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.

"Mother, since you don't believe in me, why did you teach me such an important skill?" His voice was a little hoarse, as if he was suppressing his inner emotions.

"Once I take the Soul Binding Pill, my life and death will be in my mother's hands. Mother, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Jiu Luoshu looked at him, with a trace of pain and struggle in her eyes.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Nanxing, I admit that over the years, I have been reserved in my attitude towards you. However, this does not mean that I don't care about your growth and future."

"The future of Wanhua Valley needs someone to take responsibility, and you are the most suitable candidate. I admire your talent, intelligence, and character. It's just that..."

She paused and said, "It's just that your father's past has always been a knot in my heart."

"I understand my mother's difficulties." Jiuluo Nanxing said softly, "But I don't want to be my mother's pawn, and I don't want to bear my father's sins and live under my mother's shadow."

He raised his head and looked at Jiu Luoshu steadily: "Mother, all I want is your trust and acceptance."

"Nanxing, you have no choice." Jiu Luoshu's voice suddenly became cold and stern, "Take the Soul Binding Pill and practice the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Heart Sutra. This is your only choice."

Jiuluo Nanxing shuddered. He didn't expect his mother to be so resolute. He looked at the exquisite jade bottle in his hand, feeling mixed emotions.

The mother, from whom he had always longed for recognition and love, now had his life and death in her hands.

He took a deep breath and slowly raised his head, with a determined light in his eyes: "Mother, if this can make you feel at ease, then I will obey you."

As he spoke, he uncorked the bottle, poured the Soul-Binding Pill into his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.

As the pill entered his throat, it immediately turned into a stream of cool air, flowing through his entire body along his meridians.

He felt as if his soul was being pulled by an invisible force, establishing a wonderful connection with Jiu Luoshu.

Afterwards, Jiuluoshu walked up to Jiuluo Nanxing, stretched out her right index finger and gently touched the center of his eyebrows.

A vast amount of information instantly poured into Jiuluo Nanxing's mind, as if it was going to burst his sea of ​​consciousness.

Jiuluo Nanxing closed his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth to endure this huge impact of information.

He could clearly feel that his sea of ​​consciousness was constantly expanding in capacity, and the method of practicing "The Heart Sutra of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady" was gradually becoming clear in his mind.

After a long while, Jiu Luoshu withdrew her fingers.

She looked at the pain on Jiuluonanxing's face and felt heartbroken.

But she knew that this was a necessary process and no one could bear it for him.

"Nanxing, you can practice here." Jiuluoshu said softly, "I will let Elder Shui protect you here."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the depths of the secret realm, and soon disappeared among the stars in the dark night.

Shui Ruoyuan walked up to Jiuluo Nanxing and asked with concern, "Young Valley Master, are you okay?"

Jiuluo Nanxing opened his eyes and shook his head: "I'm fine, Elder Shui, thank you for your help."

"You are too polite, Young Valley Master." Shui Ruoyuan smiled slightly, "Then I will wait for you outside. Call me if you need anything."

After saying that, she turned around and left this secret place, leaving Jiuluo Nanxing alone to practice.

Jiuluo Nanxing sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and began to practice according to the method of "Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman's Heart Sutra".

This martial art was truly extraordinary. As soon as he began to practice it, he felt a vast ocean of star power gathering from all directions and pouring into his body continuously.

This star power is extremely pure, as if it has been refined and tempered countless times, without a trace of impurities.

They flowed through his meridians, and every time they passed an acupuncture point, they left a trace of star power, as if nourishing his body.

Jiuluo Nanxing was overjoyed, for he knew that it was the "Heart Sutra of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady" that was transforming his body and laying a solid foundation for him.

He did not dare to slack off and continued to practice according to the cultivation method. Soon he entered a state of selflessness...
