Chapter 462
by fanqienovelChapter 462: Forced Bondage
Early the next morning, Liu Sanlang arrived at the Li Mansion.
“Liu Sanlang, my master has asked me to take you to eat, and then you will meet Miss Li,” a maid greeted Liu Sanlang warmly.
She had learned that Liu Sanlang had successfully cultivated and had become an Immortal Master, so she treated him very kindly.
“Thank you for leading the way,” Liu Sanlang cupped his hands in gratitude.
After the maid took Liu Sanlang to a dining area for breakfast, she led him to a training ground.
“Please wait a moment, Liu Sanlang. My lady will arrive shortly.”
“Alright.”
Liu Sanlang waited less than ten minutes before a group of footsteps approached.
He looked up and saw a group of maids and servants surrounding a stunningly beautiful woman entering through the courtyard door.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Liu Sanlang’s eyes went wide, and he appeared somewhat dazed.
“Are you Liu Sanlang?” Li Zixuan asked as she stood before him.
“Liu Sanlang, my lady is asking you a question.”
“Oh, oh, oh.” Liu Sanlang snapped back to reality and quickly nodded, “Yes, I am Liu Sanlang.”
“My dad invited you to teach me cultivation, so thank you for that.” Li Zixuan nodded at Liu Sanlang.
“No trouble at all, no trouble at all,” Liu Sanlang quickly waved his hand, “This is what I should do.”
“You’re very polite. Since that’s the case, let’s begin.”
“Oh, okay.”
Soon, Liu Sanlang started to share his cultivation experiences with Li Zixuan.
Li Zixuan followed his instructions and began her cultivation.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Li Zixuan’s eyes widened.
She realized she had managed to cultivate true Qi.
In disbelief, Li Zixuan activated her technique again.
Then she discovered that the true Qi she had cultivated was even more than before.
“I, I, I think I succeeded,” Li Zixuan exclaimed with joy.
She stumbled over her words a bit.
For over ten years, she had lost hope and given up.
She never expected that today, after Liu Sanlang explained the methods several times, she could truly cultivate true Qi.
This was simply amazing.
“Liu Sanlang, thank you! Really, thank you!”
Li Zixuan spoke excitedly, tears in her eyes, filled with joy.
“Li Xiaojun, there is no need to be polite. It is truly wonderful that you can cultivate true Qi,” Liu Sanlang said, equally happy.
A clever maid quickly ran off to inform the master and mistress.
Soon, several maids gathered around Mistress Duanmu Rong, who arrived at the martial arts training ground, looking very excited.
“Xuaner, I heard you have cultivated true Qi?” Duanmu Rong asked with a look of excitement.
“Yes, Mother, I have cultivated true Qi,” Li Zixuan nodded eagerly.
“That’s great, that’s great! If your dad knows this, he will be so happy,” Duanmu Rong said excitedly.
Hearing this, Li Zixuan hurriedly asked, “Where is Dad?”
“Your dad went out and will come back tonight.”
“Oh,” Li Zixuan nodded.
She felt a bit disappointed that she could not share her joy with her father in time.
After that, in front of a crowd, Li Zixuan continued her cultivation.
At noon, Liu Sanlang enjoyed a luxurious meal at the Li Mansion.
In the afternoon, Liu Sanlang left the Li Mansion.
After lunch, Li Zixuan continued to cultivate.
However, to Li Zixuan’s horror, she discovered she could no longer cultivate.
“What is happening?” Li Zixuan felt a bit dazed.
She had been able to cultivate in the morning, so why could she not do so in the afternoon?
After trying for some time, Li Zixuan’s heart filled with fear.
This feeling was like suddenly gaining immense wealth, only for it to vanish in an instant.
Li Zixuan had been expecting to cultivate for over ten years, and after so many years of failure, just when hope seemed within reach, it felt like that hope was fading away again.
How could such a situation not frighten Li Zixuan?
“Mother, it seems I cannot cultivate again,” Li Zixuan found her mother Duanmu Rong with a worried look.
“What happened?”
“I I find I cannot cultivate again,” Li Zixuan was about to cry.
“Maybe you practiced too much today. Why don’t you try again tomorrow?” Duanmu Rong suggested.
After hearing her mother’s words, Li Zixuan thought for a moment and nodded.
In the afternoon, Li Xiaojun returned home and comforted his daughter after learning about her situation.
The next day, Li Zixuan got up early and tried to cultivate again.
However, no matter how she practiced, she could not absorb spiritual energy to cultivate true Qi.
This situation made Li Zixuan very frustrated, and tears streamed down her face.
“Should we ask Liu Sanlang to come back and see what he thinks?” Li Xiaojun suggested.
“Then hurry and ask Liu Sanlang to come.”
Soon, Fubo left the mansion.
After a few minutes, Fubo returned with Liu Sanlang.
“Liu Sanlang, my daughter can’t cultivate again. Please come and help us look,” Li Xiaojun said urgently to Liu Sanlang.
“Miss Li can’t cultivate again? Let me take a look.”
Quickly, Liu Sanlang came to Li Zixuan.
“Miss Li, try to cultivate again, and I will see what is happening,” Liu Sanlang said to Li Zixuan.
Hearing Liu Sanlang’s words, Li Zixuan nodded quickly and started to cultivate.
“Hmm?”
After a moment, Li Zixuan opened her eyes, surprised.
“How is it?” Duanmu Rong asked anxiously.
“I think I can cultivate again,” Li Zixuan replied with joy.
“Really?” Li Xiaojun said, filled with excitement.
Duanmu Rong also looked delighted.
“That’s wonderful!”
“Sanlang, sorry for making you run for nothing,” Li Xiaojun told Liu Sanlang.
“It’s no trouble,” Liu Sanlang waved his hand, unconcerned.
Soon, Liu Sanlang left the Li Mansion again.
However, right after Liu Sanlang left, Li Zixuan’s face changed again.
“Dad, Mom, I can’t cultivate again,” Li Zixuan said, on the verge of tears.
“What happened?”
“I can’t cultivate and now I can’t produce true Qi.” Li Zixuan said with a sad face.
“Quickly, go ask Liu Sanlang to come back,” Li Xiaojun instructed Fubo hurriedly.
Soon, Fubo brought Liu Sanlang back again.
“I think I can cultivate again.”
After Liu Sanlang returned, Li Zixuan found she could cultivate once more.
“Could it be because Liu Sanlang is nearby? You can cultivate when he is here, but when he leaves, you can’t?” Duanmu Rong posed a question.
“Well, we can try and see,” Li Xiaojun replied quickly.
“Liu Sanlang, please step away for a moment,” Li Xiaojun said to Liu Sanlang.
“Okay,” Liu Sanlang nodded.
Once Liu Sanlang was one hundred meters away from Li Zixuan, she realized she could not cultivate again.
“Dad, I can’t cultivate again,” Li Zixuan said quickly.
“Liu Sanlang, come back,” Li Xiaojun called out to Liu Sanlang.
Soon, Liu Sanlang came over again.
“Try again, daughter.”
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Li Zixuan began to cultivate again.
“I can cultivate again!” Li Zixuan’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Liu Sanlang, step away again and see,” Li Xiaojun instructed.
“Alright.”
After several tests, everyone finally discovered that Li Zixuan could only absorb spiritual energy and cultivate true Qi when Liu Sanlang was nearby.
As long as Liu Sanlang was more than one hundred meters away from Li Zixuan, she could not cultivate at all.
