The Stairway to Heaven was a major event for the Heavenly Xuan Sword Sect. The appearance of the stairway naturally attracted countless gazes. Apart from the Sword Master and Sect Master, who were still in seclusion, elders with cultivation levels above the Saint realm all turned their attention to the stairway.
When Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu arrived at the Stairway to Heaven, it was already surrounded by many cultivators from other peaks.
"Senior Sister, you're here!"
Li Qin and Rong Hua immediately greeted Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu when they saw them.
Lu Chengfeng nodded, noticing that Yu Shui wasn't present. Her heart sank. Although she already had an answer in her mind, she still asked, "Where's Yu Shui?"
"Second Senior Sister ascended the Stairway to Heaven before you arrived," Li Qin said.
"We're still late." Lu Chengfeng's expression changed slightly. She had brought Gu Huaiyu here as quickly as possible, wanting to arrive before Yu Shui stepped onto the stairway.
Gu Huaiyu, sensing the worry in Lu Chengfeng's heart, couldn't help but look curiously at the Stairway to Heaven.
Standing before the stairway now felt even more shocking than seeing it in the Law Enforcement Hall. In front of the stairway, Gu Huaiyu only felt incredibly small, and a sense of awe arose in her heart involuntarily.
"Junior Sister Lu!"
Just then, a gentle voice fell, and a man in white appeared before them. The man had a gentle and refined temperament, with handsome features that didn't lack a sunny disposition. He looked at Lu Chengfeng with a faint smile on his face, his eyes filled with admiration.
Even though Gu Huaiyu didn't understand matters of love between men and women, she could tell at a glance that this person had feelings for Senior Sister Lu.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Yan Hao!"
Li Qin and Rong Hua greeted the man respectfully.
Yan Hao waved his hand. "No need to be so polite, junior sisters." Then he looked at Lu Chengfeng, whose face flashed with a hint of helplessness, and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Yan."
"Junior Sister Lu, are you not welcoming me?" Yan Hao said with a wry smile, seeing Lu Chengfeng's expression.
"…" Lu Chengfeng.
Lu Chengfeng remained silent, while her two junior sisters secretly snickered. Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but glare at them fiercely. They immediately restrained their smiles, but their eyes betrayed them; they were still laughing.
"Junior Sister Lu, who is this?"
Yan Hao noticed Gu Huaiyu in purple robes. Because of Lu Chengfeng, he was very familiar with the people of Lihun Peak, but this was the first time he had seen Gu Huaiyu.
Seeing that Yan Hao was finally no longer focusing his attention on her alone, Lu Chengfeng quickly introduced, "Her name is Gu Huaiyu. She's a new member of our Lihun Peak."
"A new member? Could it be that you…"
Yan Hao frowned and looked at Lu Chengfeng, who nodded in response.
"No wonder the Stairway to Heaven opened." Yan Hao suddenly understood, then stared at Lu Chengfeng and said, "Junior Sister Lu, didn't I say that you could come to me if you had any difficulties?"
"Can you let me directly become the Peak Master of Lihun Peak?" Lu Chengfeng was also very blunt.
"Uh…"
Yan Hao was momentarily speechless, but he quickly said, "I'll ask my master when he comes out of seclusion."
Lu Chengfeng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Senior Brother Yan, have you ever met the Sect Master?"
Hearing this, Yan Hao fell silent.
He was a little older than Lu Chengfeng and had a slightly stronger cultivation, having reached the third level of the Saint realm. Moreover, he was one of the Heavenly Xuan Supreme's personal disciples, but he had never met his master. He was able to become the Heavenly Xuan Supreme's personal disciple because his eldest senior brother had accepted him on his master's behalf. After all, the Heavenly Xuan Supreme had been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years. He was not even two thousand years old yet, so how could he have met the Heavenly Xuan Supreme?
"Junior Sister Lu, do you think I'm useless, that's why you don't like me?"
Suddenly, Yan Hao's emotions became a little low.
"Here we go again!"
Lu Chengfeng slapped her forehead, her face full of helplessness. The two junior sisters beside her could no longer hold back their laughter, now with tears welling up in their eyes.
Gu Huaiyu, on the other hand, looked curiously at Lu Chengfeng and Yan Hao. Lu Chengfeng's helpless appearance suggested that this Yan Hao had been self-pitying like this before.
"Boom!"
Just then, the Stairway to Heaven shook, and Lu Chengfeng's expression changed. Everyone else also turned their attention to the stairway.
"Crack!"
A harsh sound rang out, and a spatial crack appeared in the sky. The crack quickly expanded, stopping only when it reached a certain size, and then a figure fell from the spatial crack.
"It's Second Senior Sister."
Rong Hua exclaimed, and Lu Chengfeng had already flown up, catching Yu Shui around the waist and landing safely.
"Yu Shui, Yu Shui!"
Lu Chengfeng called out Yu Shui's name worriedly, but at this time, Yu Shui had no injuries on her body, but her eyes were closed and her breathing was weak. Lu Chengfeng sent a divine thought into Yu Shui's body, and the next moment, her expression changed drastically.
Yan Hao also walked over at this time, extending a hand, his hand emitting a soft light, falling on Yu Shui's body. After a moment, his expression also became solemn.
He said, "The divine soul has suffered serious damage and needs a Saint-grade pill, the Saint Soul Pill, to heal it."
"Saint Soul Pill…"
The expressions of Lu Chengfeng, Li Qin, and Rong Hua became extremely ugly.
"Senior Sister, what do we do? We don't have enough contribution points," Li Qin said anxiously.
The Saint Soul Pill was a Saint-grade pill specifically for treating injuries to the divine soul. The materials for refining the Saint Soul Pill were extremely rare. Even the Heavenly Xuan Sword Sect didn't have many Saint Soul Pills. It was a pill that was not high in grade but extremely rare. Even if it could be exchanged with sect contribution points, it would require a massive amount of sect contribution points. The combined contribution points of their senior sisters were not even one-tenth of what was needed for the Saint Soul Pill.
Lu Chengfeng also didn't know what to do.
At this time, Yan Hao said, "I have thirty million sect contribution points here, but I'm afraid that even with yours, it won't be enough."
One Saint Soul Pill required one hundred million sect contribution points. Yan Hao's cultivation had already reached the Saint realm, but he had only accumulated more than thirty million sect contribution points in more than a thousand years. Although Lu Chengfeng and the others were numerous, their combined contribution points were definitely not as much as his.
"If it doesn't work, I'll borrow some from my eldest senior brother," Yan Hao continued.
Lu Chengfeng was in a dilemma. She knew what Yan Hao meant for her, but she had seriously rejected Yan Hao's feelings back then. However, Yan Hao had obviously not given up. Because he didn't pester her, Lu Chengfeng didn't dislike him, but Lu Chengfeng didn't want to owe Yan Hao a favor. But now that it concerned Yu Shui's life and death, her personal feelings could be put aside.
Just as Lu Chengfeng was about to speak, Gu Huaiyu spoke.
"I don't have the Saint Soul Pill you mentioned, but I have a pill given to me by my master. Do you want to try it?" Gu Huaiyu stood in front of them, holding a bottle of pills.
