Chapter 236: Xiong Li’s Body Refinement Divine Skill
"Ha ha, you’re too kind. How could I ever compare to the heavens?" Xu Fan said with a laugh. It’s true, those who’ve seen the world know how to flatter.
Li Xuandao felt a surge of joy, thinking he’d found a shortcut to securing a powerful ally.
“With your talent, Master, you’re bound to become a regional overlord in the Thousand Worlds someday,” Li Xuandao continued.
Xu Fan waved his hand, signaling him to stop. Becoming an immortal was still a distant dream.
“By the way, didn’t you promise to share your Celestial Script Will with me once you reached the Nascent Soul Stage?” Xu Fan reminded him.
“Yes, once I reach the Nascent Soul Stage, I’ll pass on all my insights and understanding of the Celestial Script to you,” Li Xuandao said earnestly, determined to fulfill his promise.
“You’re giving me all of it? Don’t you plan to pursue artifact crafting?” Xu Fan asked.
In the cultivation world, an artifact master could transfer their runes and Celestial Script insights to others, but doing so would erase their own memory of them.
“I’ve decided not to pursue artifact crafting in this life. The Celestial Script I’ve learned over my many reincarnations has started to fade,” Li Xuandao explained.
“If I don’t pass it on to you, it might vanish completely in my next life,” he added, not wanting to let it go to waste.
“What level of artifact master were you in your past life?” Xu Fan asked curiously.
“A master craftsman. I only crafted a few high-level Taoist tools in that life. It was a peaceful existence,” Li Xuandao said, lost in thought.
“Artisans always find their place, no matter where they go,” Xu Fan said with a chuckle, feeling more confident in his own path.
“You’re right, Master,” Li Xuandao replied with a smile.
“Master, after I reach the Nascent Soul Stage and share the Celestial Script, I might need to leave for about 100 years,” Li Xuandao requested.
“Go ahead. Just let me know if you’ll be coming back,” Xu Fan said casually.
“Thank you, Master.”
Li Xuandao felt a mix of relief and unease. He was relieved because he’d accomplished his main goal for the day, but uneasy because he hadn’t fully explained his reasons.
“Aren’t you going to ask why I’m leaving?” Li Xuandao ventured, hoping to elaborate.
“I don’t pry into my disciples’ affairs, as long as they don’t harm the heavens or break moral codes.”
“In this life, my talent is lacking. I need a few Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures to rebuild my foundation and refine my body again.”
“I already have some leads on those treasures, but it’ll take time to find them,” Li Xuandao explained.
“Ah, I see,” Xu Fan nodded.
“Let Grapes know what you need. We’ll help you search, and we’ll inform you as soon as we find anything,” Xu Fan offered.
“Thank you, Master.”
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, let’s wrap this up. You’re about to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage,” Xu Fan said, noticing the spiritual energy brimming within Li Xuandao.
“No, that’s all. I’ll take my leave now.”
Xu Fan waved him off and returned to his leisurely fishing.
“A few more lazy days, then I’ll tackle the rest,” Xu Fan muttered, shaking his head.
Just then, a streak of light shot across the sky and plunged into the Hidden Spirit Sect’s grand formation.
“The third time now,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
The flash of light that just appeared was Xu Yuexian, and this was her third return to the sect this month.
“Master, I’m leaving~~”
After receiving the space ring, the flash of light flew out of the sect’s grand formation, heading towards Lin Sen Fairy City.
“That Zheng Feng has some skills; this is his third time,” Xu Fan remarked.
“Does that fool not realize something’s off?” Xu Fan rubbed his chin.
At that moment, in a certain fairy city, Zheng Feng endured the foul odor from the cultivator beside him as he inspected the items taken from the space ring.
“This girl has a strong financial background; she’s even started carrying top-grade spirit stones when she goes out,” Zheng Feng said, looking at the top-grade spirit stones in the space ring, while sensing something was amiss.
“At this time, that girl should be hiding in her nest for a while.”
“Could there be a conspiracy?”
Recalling the methods of the female cultivator named Zhang Meimei, Zheng Feng felt a wave of unease. What would happen if her master acted again?
Thinking of this, Zheng Feng looked at the cultivator next to him, who was emitting a strong foul odor, and disdainfully said, “Find a desolate place to go into seclusion. I’ll look for you again after a while.”
“Understood,” the foul-smelling cultivator replied stiffly, his eyes lacking any spark.
Just then, Zheng Feng’s communication artifact beeped.
He glanced at it and saw a fleeting glimmer in his eyes.
“There’s definitely something wrong,” Zheng Feng decided to hold off on retaliation for now and to wait to gauge the situation. What if that girl really was foolish? What if he had to go all out?
Soon, Zheng Feng asked through the communication artifact and hurried to the fairy city’s teleportation center.
He had many enemies; if this one didn’t work out, he could always switch to another.
At the same time, Xu Yuexian was wandering the streets, confused as to why Zheng Feng had not taken the bait yet. This was only the third space ring; there were still five more to go.
“Could he have sensed something?” Xu Yuexian pondered.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yuexian decided to go with the flow, continue treasure hunting, and explore the relic’s secret realm.
………………..
In Joyful Union Fairy City at Yuxian Pavilion, several captivating women surrounded the sturdy Xiong Li.
“Guest, if our massage isn’t comfortable, please let us know. We can switch sisters; everything is negotiable.”
“But why did you give us a bad review? How will we survive in this Yuxian Pavilion after that?” one of the charming women cried lightly, her eyes glistening.
“Still the same thing—the pressure was too light.”
“Sir, no one here uses body refinement skills to massage us; we only have the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage. It might just kill us,” Xiong Li responded.
Once he mentioned the pressure being too light, all the women began to weep loudly, as if they were abandoned by a scoundrel while pregnant.
Listening to their distressed cries, Xiong Li remembered one of the warnings from the sect’s travel handbook.
“Don’t provoke women, kids, or the elderly.”
“Can a bad review be revoked?” Xiong Li asked lightly. Speaking of which, it wasn’t his intention to activate his protective skill during the massage; he simply wasn’t used to having other spiritual energy flowing through his body.
Even soothing meridians and dispelling injuries didn’t seem to work.
Upon hearing Xiong Li’s words, the weeping stopped abruptly.
One of the women bowed towards Xiong Li and said, “Sir, please follow me; I’ll take you to address the bad review.”
The travel manual was right; women were indeed fickle.
Crying so beautifully, why did they stop?
Passing cultivators in the Yuxian Pavilion looked on in amusement at this scene, as it was one of the methods for addressing bad reviews.
As Xiong Li stepped out of Yuxian Pavilion once more, he sighed, feeling it was not worth it to spend so many spirit stones just for a few casual massages.
