Xie Jiuniang actually had reservations about the matters she discussed with Chaoyan regarding Tianji Building.
For example, she didn't mention a single word about the possession by Daoyin.
To speak of it would be too difficult to explain, how could a mere Foundation Establishment withstand a Divinity Transformation possession? That's not just a joke, it's a joke no one would dare make. Even if Chaoyan believed her, he might worry about potential risks and want to inspect her Sea of Consciousness. What then?
Refuse?
He meant well by her, there were no excuses for refusal.
However, she did talk about the Stone Elephant and Puppetry Technique, and the matter of the old woman self-destructing and passing on her lifetime of knowledge through a wisp of her Spiritual Soul.
Chaoyan sighed at his disciple's good fortune and then asked her to bring out the damaged Stone Elephant.
On the surface, the Stone Elephant appeared to be intact, with only a clear sword mark visible.
