Chapter 268 Su Nianying: Stealing a Home! (3.1k)
When Li Xijun appeared in the backyard of the Killing Martial Arts School, he did not deliberately make a fuss, and even concealed all his aura, just like an ordinary returning disciple.
However, his appearance and demeanor are now vastly different from what they used to be. The unique aura he possessed, born from the experience of great battles, the power of life and death, and the fusion of the three religions, is still difficult to completely conceal.
As a burly young man wiping sweat from his brow on the sidelines glanced up, he immediately exclaimed in surprise:
"Li...Senior Brother Li?!"
This exclamation was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
In an instant, the entire noisy training ground seemed to be muted.
All the disciples who were practicing, refining their moves, or even slacking off and chatting on the sidelines froze in their tracks as countless eyes focused on Li Xijun!
"It really is Senior Brother Li!"
"My God, it's that... that Manifestation of the Holy True Lord!"
"Li Zhenjun is back!"
After a brief silence, a deafening roar of excitement erupted.
But amidst this excitement was an indescribable sense of restraint and awe.
The former fellow students looked at Li Xijun with admiration and excitement, but even more so with a sense of fear and distance in the face of someone who was above them all.
They can no longer approach them and joke around as freely as they used to.
Instead, they all stopped what they were doing and bowed in unison, somewhat flustered, addressing him respectfully as "Senior Brother Li" or more distantly as "True Lord Li".
"No need for formalities, everyone. Just let things be as usual," Li Xijun said gently.
however,
The calmer he was, the more respectful the crowd became, not daring to raise their heads too high.
Several disciples who had known him for a long time, such as Yu Xiangyang and others, were rubbing their hands together, their faces showing excited yet hesitant smiles. They wanted to step forward and say something, but dared not cross that invisible boundary.
Seeing this scene, Li Xijun couldn't help but feel a complex mix of emotions.
He suddenly remembered the story "My Old Home" that he had read in his previous life, and the respectful "Master" that Xun Ge'er uttered when he reunited with Runtu.
Now, in the eyes of these former fellow disciples, he is a "True Lord" whom they need to look up to. Such a change is to be expected and not surprising.
With that thought in mind, he said nothing more, but simply smiled and nodded to everyone, and continued walking towards the inner courtyard under the watchful eyes of countless people.
After passing through several courtyards, we arrived at the martial arts hall where the master master, Zhang Fuhu, usually stayed.
Before even entering, one could hear Zhang Fuhu's signature loud voice coming from inside, seemingly reprimanding a disciple for not using ruthless enough techniques.
But when Li Xijun appeared at the door, the sounds inside abruptly stopped.
Zhang Fuhu suddenly stood up from his armchair, his tiger-like eyes wide open, staring at Li Xijun as she walked in. A flush of excitement quickly rose on his bronze face.
"Good lad! You...you've really accomplished something great in the Southeast!"
Zhang Fuhu's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
He strode forward, walked around the desk, and stood before Li Xijun. He looked Li Xijun up and down, then slapped the disciple hard on the shoulder and let out a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha, good! Excellent! The proudest thing in my life is not that I have become a Martial Saint of Fist Intent, but that I have taught a disciple like you, a Manifestation Saint True Monarch!"
His eyes welled up with tears as he smiled, a genuine expression of pride and excitement, pure and unadulterated, devoid of any reverence, only the pure bond between teacher and student and the immense glory he felt for his disciple's achievements.
Looking at his teacher, who remained as magnanimous as ever, Li Xijun felt a sudden sense of distance due to his teacher's status vanish. He bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Li Xijun greets Master."
"No need for that! Don't try that on me!"
Zhang Fuhu waved his hand and pulled Li Xijun to sit down. He couldn't wait to ask about the Battle of Guangfu and his insights into the divine manifestation, as excited as a child.
They talked for a long time, until it was getting dark, then Li Xijun stood up and said to Zhang Fuhu:
"Master, the martial arts school is now renowned far and wide. Now that I have returned, I should do my part for the school."
Having said that, he pointed his fingers like a sword and made a sweeping motion in the air.
A golden light, imbued with lofty literary spirit and Buddhist vows, condensed at his fingertips, eventually transforming into a small, ancient-looking, and radiant golden sword phantom about a foot long.
This small sword shares the same origin as the "Golden Emperor's Magic Sword" that he bestowed upon the Lin family, but its power level is somewhat controlled.
After the small sword took shape, it emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, and then transformed into a stream of light, hovering above the main beam of the inner hall. It slowly rotated, casting a soft and pure light that enveloped the entire inner hall and even part of the core training ground.
"This sword hangs here to ward off evil spirits and bring peace to people's hearts. Disciples who practice martial arts here will be nourished, their minds and souls will be clear, and their understanding of martial arts will be twice as effective. If any villains or enemies below the Nascent Soul Realm attack, this sword will automatically protect them and slay the enemy," Li Xijun explained.
Feeling the calming and focused aura emanating from the "Martial Soul Sword," as well as the sharp sword intent hidden within it, Zhang Fuhu and the core disciples, including Meng Qifeng, who rushed over upon hearing the news, were both surprised and delighted.
With this item guarding it, the strength and security of the Killing Body Martial Arts School will be elevated by more than one level!
"Excellent! Excellent!" Zhang Fuhu clapped his hands and laughed, "Truly the work of the Manifestation Saint True Lord!"
The other disciples also bowed and offered their congratulations in unison.
For a time, the overwhelming momentum of the entire Killing Body Martial Arts School attracted the attention of countless people in Tianjin.
After this incident, Li Xijun lingered at the Killing Martial Arts School for several days before bidding farewell to everyone and finding a secluded valley outside Tianjin City to return to the main world.
next moment,
Once back in the quiet room, Li Xijun saw messages from Su Nianying constantly appearing on her personal terminal.
As the terminal interface opens, information is displayed.
"Li Xijun, your items have arrived. The 'Ice Spirit Source Essence,' 'Crimson Heaven Star Core,' 'Sacred Heart Green Lotus Seed,' and 'Mount Sumeru Soul,' which will help you break through to the late stage of the Intent Realm, are all prepared. Shall I bring them to you?"
These four resources are the top-grade natural treasures required for the Four Symbols Technique he deduced. Each one is extremely rare and enough to drive any genius of artistic conception crazy, but he needs four of them!
The main world's treatment of the world's number one genius is indeed extraordinary.
Li Xijun replied, "Let's do it now. I'm in great shape right now, it's the perfect time for a breakthrough."
The message was sent out only moments before there was a gentle knock on his door.
Li Xijun opened the door, and standing outside was Su Nianying, who was dressed in a rather strange manner.
Instead of wearing her usual purple, rather dashing, ancient-style martial arts outfit, she wore a heavy black coat, covering herself up completely.
This made Li Xijun feel a little puzzled, but then his eyes were drawn to what the other person was holding.
At this moment, Su Nianying was holding a jade box that exuded a cold aura, which clearly contained the four precious resources.
"Everything is inside. Please check it." Su Nianying handed over the jade box.
Li Xijun took the document, opened it, and confirmed that everything was correct. Just as she was about to thank Su Nianying, she saw that Su Nianying did not turn around and leave as usual. Instead, she stepped into the room and closed the extremely heavy protective door behind her.
"What's wrong? Is there something else?" Li Xijun asked, somewhat puzzled.
Su Nianying looked at Li Xijun, a barely perceptible ripple flashing in her cool eyes, and she spoke calmly:
"We know that you have created a unique cultivation technique similar to the Four Symbols, which requires four times the resources of an ordinary genius at the realm of artistic conception. Just refining these four top-level spiritual objects will require a lot of time and effort, and the risk of attribute conflicts is extremely high."
She paused, then continued, "So, Teacher Lisa asked me to prepare an auxiliary method for you that can greatly accelerate the refining process and ensure the perfect fusion of the four powers, helping you reach the late-stage perfection of the Intent Realm in one step. However... this process requires my supervision."
Upon hearing this, Li Xijun's heart stirred, and he was about to ask what kind of method it was.
But as soon as Su Nianying finished speaking, she raised her hand and took out an item from her spatial equipment.
It was a thing that was about half a person tall, carved entirely from some kind of warm white jade, and shaped somewhat like an oversized bathtub, but with countless complex and mysterious patterns engraved on its body, emitting a misty heat and a rich medicinal fragrance.
It looks like a specially made... medicinal bath furnace?
With the appearance of this "Jade Bucket Alchemy Furnace", Li Xijun keenly sensed that the bucket was already filled with a kind of clear base liquid. Within the base liquid, there was a clear spiritual liquid fluctuation that was of the same origin as the four top-level resources in his hands, but was gentler and easier to absorb.
In an instant,
Having experienced that in the attic bathroom before, Li Xijun realized something.
A thought flashed through his mind like lightning.
This made him instantly understand what this "auxiliary method" was, and also why Su Nianying was needed to "preside over" it.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Nianying.
At this moment, under his gaze, Su Nianying's cheeks flushed slightly, but her eyes remained calm.
She stretched out her slender fingers and silently began to unbutton her coat.
"Yin and Yang are divided into four symbols, and the two mostly share the same origin. Therefore, Vice Principal Lisa said that we can use the Yin-Yang circulation method at that time to perfectly refine these resources and help you."
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was already self-evident.
Li Xijun, who was already very familiar with the process, had no reason to refuse.
He immediately nodded and took action.
at the same time,
Su Nianyi, also in the cultivation chamber, had her eyes closed, and the powerful spiritual energy within her body was constantly circulating, helping her to make a sprint towards the mid-stage of the Intent Realm.
After an unknown amount of time, a soft sound was heard.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and streaks of lightning, which materialized in the void, suddenly appeared in her purple eyes.
"I've finally broken through to the mid-stage of the Intent Realm! Not only that, but another quarter of the dark purple lightning ball in my sea of consciousness has melted. My current mental strength is comparable to that of an Outer Realm martial artist!"
Feeling her own strength improve, Su Nianyi immediately smiled.
"Now I can say that I've caught up with hope-jun's pace."
"After I get out of here, I'll teach that woman Wei Ying a lesson. She actually dared to try and steal from my house? Humph! No way!"
