Chapter 201: The Plan is in Progress
Hearing Liu Hongxia’s panicked voice, Li Xiaojun revealed a smile of vengeance on his face.
“What’s wrong? Have you forgotten what you did to me? Of course, I’m getting my revenge now…”
As Li Xiaojun finished speaking, a golden stick appeared in his hand, and he swung it toward Liu Hongxia’s divine sense.
“Dad, spare me! I’ll never do it again…”
“Hey! Now you want to beg for mercy? It’s too late!”
Li Xiaojun chuckled, but his hand didn’t stop.
He struck with neither too light nor too heavy force.
Not light, because it was directed at Liu Hongxia, who was at the early stage of human immortal; if her body were at the Great Ascension stage, she would likely be killed by just a few blows from Li Xiaojun.
Not heavy, as Li Xiaojun was in the Heavenly Immortal realm, two major stages higher than Liu Hongxia.
If he went all out, Liu Hongxia could be killed instantly!
After three days and nights, Li Xiaojun finally stopped.
Seeing that Li Xiaojun had ceased, Liu Hongxia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This cheap father sure could be ruthless; she hadn’t experienced such pain in a long time.
“Dad, I will never dare again. Please just let me go,” Liu Hongxia pleaded with Li Xiaojun.
With a stronger opponent, she had to endure!
At the same time, Liu Hongxia was filled with extreme shock.
She had always thought her cheap father was just an ordinary tribulation stage cultivator.
But now it seemed that he was far more than just a tribulation stage cultivator.
Could a tribulation stage cultivator effortlessly subdue a human immortal?
Thus, Liu Hongxia speculated that her father must at least be a powerhouse of the Earth Immortal realm.
Facing an Earth Immortal powerhouse—her own father—she had no choice but to endure!
Of course, there was no way she could fight back.
“After today’s beating, we’ll wipe the slate clean. Now, I have a trade I want to propose to you,” Li Xiaojun said lightly to Liu Hongxia.
“What trade?”
Liu Hongxia weakly asked.
“Well, I’ve learned a technique to absorb others’ innate essences to strengthen spirit roots, and I want you to cooperate with me…”
“What?”
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Liu Hongxia’s eyes widened in shock.
“Dad, are you trying to ruin my spirit roots? How could you be so cruel? I’m your daughter…”
Liu Hongxia was terrified.
She could see from her father’s expression that he was serious.
Seeing Liu Hongxia’s expression, Li Xiaojun realized she had misunderstood.
So he hurriedly explained, “You know I can enhance your spirit root talent, right? You’re currently an Immortal spirit root, and I can directly upgrade you to the upper-grade acquired divine demon roots. Then I’ll use a technique to absorb your innate essence to turn you back into an Immortal spirit root. Don’t worry, I won’t completely take away your Immortal spirit root.”
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Liu Hongxia’s eyes widened in surprise again.
“Dad, you can really upgrade your daughter’s Immortal spirit root to the upper-grade acquired divine demon roots?” Liu Hongxia asked, astonished.
“Yes,” Li Xiaojun nodded.
“Then did you upgrade Li Ziwei and Li Ziyao’s spirit roots to the upper-grade acquired divine demon roots as well?” Liu Hongxia quickly inquired.
“Yes, do you have a problem with that?” Li Xiaojun shot her a glare.
“I wouldn’t dare.”
Though Liu Hongxia verbally claimed she wouldn’t dare, her expression showed she had major objections!
Seeing Liu Hongxia’s face, Li Xiaojun snorted and said lightly, “I not only enhanced Ziyao and the others to the upper-grade acquired divine demon roots, but I also strengthened Li Yuting and Li Yufei in the Immortal Realm. I even strengthened your sister to the upper-grade acquired divine demon roots.”
“Then why didn’t you…”
“Why didn’t I enhance you?” Li Xiaojun gave Liu Hongxia another glare, “How can you even ask that? Think about how you treated me back then! You said you weren’t my daughter and referred to me as… well, since you don’t acknowledge me as your dad, how could I possibly enhance you?”
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Liu Hongxia displayed a pitiful, distressed expression.
“Dad, I was confused back then; that wasn’t my true intention! I’ve always considered you my biological father…”
Liu Hongxia tried to argue, but Li Xiaojun interrupted her, “Do you even believe that?”
Liu Hongxia was left speechless.
“Now, are you going to agree to the trade I mentioned?” Li Xiaojun asked Liu Hongxia.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s demand, Liu Hongxia smiled wryly and said, “I’m afraid if I disagree, you won’t let me go, and I have no room to refuse.”
After pausing for a moment and not waiting for Li Xiaojun to respond, Liu Hongxia continued, “I can agree to cooperate, but you must promise me not to ruin my Immortal spirit root. And if possible, afterward, you have to promise to upgrade my spirit root to the upper-grade acquired divine demon roots.”
After thinking about Liu Hongxia’s conditions, Li Xiaojun agreed.
“Alright.”
“Okay, then.”
Liu Hongxia felt a little disheartened.
Li Xiaojun wouldn’t let her off just because she looked disheartened!
Soon, he directly consumed a hundred billion system energy value to enhance Liu Hongxia’s spirit root talent to the upper-grade acquired divine demon roots.
Feeling the change in her spirit root, Liu Hongxia looked at Li Xiaojun with even more resentment.
It turned out that this cheap father was indeed telling the truth; he could really upgrade her spirit root to the upper-grade acquired divine demon roots.
This meant that his other daughters, including her sister, had all been strengthened to the upper-grade acquired divine demon roots.
Only she, because she had offended her cheap father in the past, had gained no benefits at all.
At this moment, Liu Hongxia felt regret once again.
Had she known this would happen, she would have treated her cheap father well and honored him as her biological father.
Wait, he might actually be her biological father.
…
At least now, although this biological father wanted to use her for experiments, he at least promised to upgrade her spirit root afterward.
“Let’s get started.”
Just as Liu Hongxia was lost in thought, Li Xiaojun had already begun.
He activated Ye Qinxian’s technique—Swallowing Heaven Technique.
Ye Qinxian had named this technique herself, and Li Xiaojun felt it was quite fitting.
As Li Xiaojun initiated the technique, he soon felt Liu Hongxia’s innate essence being absorbed.
However, perhaps because he was absorbing someone else’s innate essence, a lot of the essence was wasted.
He could only convert about one percent of the essence value.
This conversion rate was indeed a bit disappointing.
Heaven knows how many talented humans Ye Qinxian had killed to elevate her spirit root talent to a Yang spirit root.
Of course, that was not what Li Xiaojun was concerned about.
Although he could only convert one percent of another’s essence, that ratio was still acceptable for Li Xiaojun.
He may not have much, but he had plenty of system energy value.
After all, if he could fully absorb others’ innate talents, what kind of catastrophe would the Swallowing Heaven Technique unleash upon the entire cultivation world?
Li Xiaojun also discovered that there were strict conditions for practitioners to cultivate this technique, so ordinary people would likely struggle even to get started.
Ordinary individuals could never reach the level of Ye Qinxian and Li Xiaojun in cultivating this technique.
Ye Qinxian was the creator of the technique, so that goes without saying.
As for Li Xiaojun, he didn’t even need to cultivate; he just needed to invest cultivation points, and he could automatically learn any technique.
