Xi Yue carefully planted the young Soul Nourishing Tree sapling beside the Heavenly Mulberry Sacred Tree, ensuring it had a safe and nurturing spot to grow.

After being watered with the Ninth Secluded Spirit Spring, the Soul Nourishing Tree sapling seemed more lively, but its growth wasn’t as noticeable as expected. It appeared that the Soul Nourishing Tree needed more than just this water to thrive.

Xi Yue set the matter aside for now, planning to revisit it later. With a thought, she entered the Spirit Refining Domain.

Now that she finally had the crystals in hand, it was time to settle her debts once and for all.

As soon as Xi Yue stepped into the Spirit Refining Domain and stood in the plaza, she was taken aback by the vibrant scene and the throngs of people surrounding her.

The sounds of cheerful chatter filled her ears as people greeted one another in the plaza.

“Mr. Wu, haven’t you been in seclusion for over three years? Why are you back in the Spirit Refining Domain?”

Oh, I heard from my disciple that [0] is accepting a duel in the Spirit Refining Domain, and it’s set for this afternoon. With that news, how could I focus on seclusion? I just had to come and see the legendary top figure of the Spirit Refining Domain!”

“I feel the same way. Although I’m no longer keen on duels, I can’t help but be captivated when I think of [0]’s former glory. So today, I have to go and witness it for myself.”

Hearing the conversation, Xi Yue blinked in surprise.

[0]. Is it the one at the top of the combat rankings? The one whose score is several times higher than everyone else’s?

Just then, a virtual message appeared before her, displaying the words of her only friend in the Spirit Refining Domain, Lin Zhi. “007, you made it! That’s great! Hurry to the combat arena. I managed to snag two tickets to watch. Let’s go see the legendary [0] in action!”

After a while, Xi Yue found Lin Zhi waiting outside at the entrance of the arena.

As soon as Lin Zhi spotted her, her face flushed as if she remembered something. She stammered, “Senior 007, you’re not upset about what I said earlier, are you? I just wanted to…”

Xi Yue waved her hand and said, “Just call me Xiao Qi. No need for all this seniority.”

Although Lin Zhi was several years older than Xi Yue in both talent and appearance, calling her 7 felt perfectly appropriate.

Just the thought of standing before the Divine Doctor left her in a daze. Here she was, a healer who couldn’t even pass the third level of the assessments, yet somehow she had the chance to befriend a Divine Doctor.

And this Divine Doctor was the youngest in the history of the Spirit Refining Domain.

Xi Yue asked, “When you mentioned going to watch the combat, are you talking about the match between 0 and the Maverick Swordsman?”

Lin Zhi nodded eagerly and said, “Yes! Just three days ago, 0 suddenly reappeared after disappearing for decades and accepted a challenge. The Spirit Refining Domain scheduled their duel for today. Everyone is buzzing about it—the viewership for this match is bound to break all records!”

“Look! It’s the Maverick Swordsman! He’s here!”

A gasp echoed through the crowd as a tall, handsome young man strode forward, surrounded by admirers.

Many of the onlooking girls couldn’t help but show admiration with their cheeks flushing.

The Maverick Swordsman, Yue Tingyuan, not only held the third spot on the combat rankings but also ranked among the top ten on the bachelor list. With his combination of looks and strength, he was the ideal choice for many female cultivators.

As for 0, he hadn’t been seen for thirty or forty years, and many of the younger warriors and cultivators had no idea what he looked like.

Suddenly, a stunning woman in a white dress adorned with red plum blossoms emerged from the crowd. With a smile, she asked the Maverick Swordsman, “Senior Yue, do you have confidence in today’s duel?”
