Mu Qingyan sat at the edge of the pond in the valley, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the water's reflection.

What left her feeling helpless was that she actually benefited from it—after that encounter with Sun Zhe last night, the Dao Inquiry Lotus within her began to mature slowly, her cultivation ceased to decline, and even her life-threatening Dao Foundation injury stabilized.
"Perhaps it's destiny; to gain something, one must pay the corresponding price."
"This mysterious little fellow might just be the opportunity I obtain in the Outer Wilderness."
"Now, as long as I acquire the Sun Lotus, my Dao Foundation injury should be resolved."
