Chapter 86: Gentle Wind and Thunder Intent
"This celestial crane’s potential is at most that of a Foundation Establishment Stage."
"Why don’t we…?" Xu Fan said mysteriously.
"What is it? Big Brother Xu has a way to enhance its potential?" Wang Yulun asked excitedly.
"How about we cook it?" After hearing Wang Yulun’s words, Xu Fan rolled his eyes. What was there to enhance about a crane? A pot of stewed goose would smell much better.
"Big Brother Xu, why so cruel? This crane witnessed my love for Qianer," Wang Yulun said, noticing Xu Fan’s tempted expression. He decided to take the crane with him when he left.
Damn it, it was this crane that made your love so abundant and plentiful.
"I was just joking; if you don’t want to, that’s fine," Xu Fan replied as he handed Wang Yulun a set of tri-dimensional replenishing pills.
"Body-Refining Pill, Huailing Pill, and Soul Solidifying Pill."
"You’re at second-grade Foundation Establishment; your foundation isn’t solid. These spirit pills will help you rebuild the foundation you didn’t establish well during Qi Refinement," Xu Fan said with a nurturing smile, like a doting aunt.
These spirit pills were crafted by Xu Fan from the thousands of spiritual herbs he gathered from the spiritual liquid secret realm. They offered a significant boost for Foundation Establishment cultivators to strengthen their foundations.
"Big Brother Xu, you’re…?" Wang Yulun said, a familiar feeling returning. Every so often, this good brother would shower him with benefits, always without asking for anything in return.
As time passed, Wang Yulun began to feel uneasy. He had heard strange rumors in the cultivation world about some evil cultivators who liked…
"Don’t worry, it’s just concern for you. What if your foundation is weak in the future and you can’t ascend?"
"In the Immortal Realm, wouldn’t it be lonely without a brother like you?"
With that, Xu Fan pulled out a few precious artifacts. These were the artifacts required for the rune iron plate test; now that the assessment was over, they were no longer needed, and a few were just right for Wang Yulun.
"These are defensive and escape artifacts. You can never have too many of these; stay alive," Xu Fan said earnestly. It had been a long time since he had nurtured a critical hit; he hoped this time wouldn’t disappoint.
Wang Yulun stared at the spirit pills and the precious artifacts, deep in thought.
What should he do about a man who had treated him so well, especially since he already had a family?
At that moment, Wang Yulun suddenly froze and nervously said to Xu Fan, "Big Brother Xu, do you know I’ll be going on a mission soon?"
Wang Yulun instantly grew anxious; what if something went wrong on this mission again?
"Don’t think too much; just come back alive," Xu Fan said, his eyes lighting up when he heard Wang Yulun was going on a mission. Every time his good brother went out, something surprising happened.
"Okay," Wang Yulun replied with a heavy heart as he walked away, not forgetting to ride off on the crane.
Watching his good brother’s retreating figure, Xu Fan sighed and said, "Guess the pot won’t be used after all."
At that moment, a dragon roar of sword energy sounded, accompanied by a grand BGM that filled the air.
In the illusion room, Wang Xiangchi stood firm at the center of the illusion array, his eyes closed and surrounded by swirling Wind Thunder Sword energy, as if he were in a life-and-death battle.
Xu Fan entered the illusion room and gently touched the illusion array with his finger. In an instant, he too entered the soul illusion world.
In the soul illusion world, Wang Xiangchi was locked in a fierce struggle, surrounded by six speedy feline beasts attacking him.
The area was filled with the afterimages of the beasts; whenever Wang Xiangchi showed a flaw, they would swarm in.
Just when Wang Xiangchi felt he couldn’t last any longer, after the BGM began to play, it was as if he entered a higher gear.
Surrounded by the swords of wind, he swiftly chased after one beast, holding the thunder sword to defend against the attacks from the others, and they were locked in an intense battle.
As the BGM reached its most thrilling part, Wang Xiangchi’s momentum peaked.
At that moment, the wind sword quickly merged with the thunder sword in Wang Xiangchi’s hand. His figure vanished, and a warm spring breeze swept across the entire contest arena.
‘Gentle Wind and Thunder Intent’
With the gentle breeze, a thin bolt of lightning swiftly pierced through the several beasts.
Then the Mystical World returned to a pure white, with only the challenge options in front of Wang Xiangchi.
“Very much like a Sword Immortal,” Xu Fan appeared and clapped, noting that although those feline beasts were all at Qi Refinement Sixth Layer, their challenge was significantly harder than those at Qi Refinement Seventh or Eighth Layer.
“Master, you saw that just now,” Wang Xiangchi said with a slightly embarrassed tone on his cold little face.
“You mastered the first form of the Wind Thunder secret technique so quickly; you’re stronger than your senior brother and sister,” Xu Fan praised him. He had expected it would take Wang Xiangchi until at least Qi Refinement Sixth Layer to learn his first secret technique.
“I just succeeded for the first time today. I’m far from being able to use this move completely,” Wang Xiangchi said seriously. The secret techniques Xu Fan imparted were all incredibly profound. He found it tough just to comprehend this Wind Thunder secret technique.
“Today, I will demonstrate it for you once, to help you understand.”
Saying this, Xu Fan directly selected ten Foundation Establishment beasts from the challenge options.
The world shifted, and Xu Fan and Wang Xiangchi found themselves deep in a bamboo grove, surrounded by ten speedy Foundation Establishment beasts.
“Master, dying once will hurt a lot,” Wang Xiangchi said lightly. He wasn’t doubting his master’s strength but felt a bit uneasy about his safety.
“Stop talking so much,” Xu Fan shot him a glance.
“Watch closely; I will only demonstrate once.”
As Xu Fan spoke, the ten beasts charged toward him.
A gentle breeze wafted through, lightly brushing against their faces and making them feel drowsy, which was true for the beasts as well.
A slender flash of lightning followed the path of the wind, zipping through the ten Foundation Establishment beasts.
Even in death, an expression of enjoyment from the gentle breeze lingered on the faces of those beasts.
Xu Fan appeared beside Wang Xiangchi, sheathing his self-crafted flying sword.
“You entered a state of enlightenment so quickly; you have my old style,” Xu Fan commented as he walked out of the illusion room to continue his research.
In the Demon Spirit Realm, Ye Xiaoyao felt an overwhelming sense of melancholy.
Due to his impeccable performance under the Great Butcher Demon Sovereign, he had now become the third young lord of the Great Butcher Holy Land, and he was now a Nascent Soul great beast.
This didn’t bother him much; the main issue was that he had received news that the bear clan discovered a Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation, allowing safe transport to the Human Realm.
Rumors were that a full-scale invasion plan into the Human Realm had already begun, and Ye Xiaoyao was anxious.
“Kid, you’re worried about the invasion of the Human Realm because of yourself.”
The voice in Ye Xiaoyao’s heart was unabashedly reckless.
“Of course it’s because of me. I have no idea what the current situation is like on the Human Realm side,” Ye Xiaoyao said gloomily, feeling as if he had betrayed the human race.
“Kid, you’re overthinking it. Those beasts won’t cause much trouble in the Human Realm. They’ve probably hidden in the ancient beast forbidden area by now; that’s part of the beast race’s first plan,” Old Sword spoke in a gossipy tone.
“What plan does the beast race have? How do you know?” Ye Xiaoyao was taken aback.
“This is a path… forget it, you wouldn’t understand. Just know that the War between Realms is coming soon.”
