Chapter 1114: Returning to the Path of Cultivation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Han Fei’s house was very dilapidated. It had two rooms. The roof was mostly repaired. Ximen Linglan saw seaweed leaves hanging on the roof.
The two peach trees at the gate were specially brought back by Han Fei’s father. There were only a few trees in the entire Great Wilderness Village, so no one dared to steal them. After all, Han Fei’s father was not weak.
In front of the house was a square stone vat. There was not even a single clam inside. On the side, there was a small courtyard. Ximen Linglan could see the red pepper sprouts, but in the entire courtyard, not a single plant had any fruits.
Ximen Linglan pointed at the courtyard and said, “Have you eaten all the fruits?”
.
Han Fei shook his head. “They were gone when I was away.”
Ximen Linglan covered her face: What do you mean they were gone? Just say they were stolen.
Ximen Linglan couldn’t help but ask, “Then where did you get the condiments you just cooked food with?”
Han Fei scratched his head. “I dug them from Zhou Daxia’s house at night.”
Ximen Linglan :”…”
Before entering Han Fei’s house, Ximen Linglan thought that Han Fei’s house must be very messy. After all, she couldn’t expect a fool to take good care of himself.
However, when she really came in, she was surprised to find that Han Fei’s house was surprisingly neat and clean. Although it could be described as utterly dest.i.tute, the beds, tables, chairs, and the rods hanging on the walls were all very neat.
Ximen Linglan couldn’t help but ask, “Did you tidy up your house yourself?”
Han Fei nodded. “Yes!”
While speaking, Han Fei moved a cabinet aside and picked up a piece of seaweed pasted on the wall. Then, he carefully took out his technique from inside.
Ximen Linglan: “Did you hide it here?”
Han Fei said, “No, my father.”
Ximen Linglan thought to herself, I knew it. With your intelligence, it should be very difficult for you to hide it so well. Under the bed is probably the limit of your imagination.
When Ximen Linglan took the book from Han Fei’s hands, she was a little surprised. “Huh? Turtle Origin Breathing Technique? This is an ultra-quality mortal-level technique.”
Ximen Linglan glanced at Han Fei. The cultivation technique that Han Fei’s father prepared for him was no worse than hers.
Ximen Linglan looked at Han Fei in surprise. “You can’t understand it or you can’t practice it?”
Han Fei looked at the technique seriously. “I can’t practice it.”
Ximen Linglan frowned. You can’t practice an ultra-quality technique? Do you want a divine quality one?
However, Ximen Linglan had a way to get such a low-level cultivation technique. Although she had been expelled by the Ximen family, at least her ident.i.ty was still there. It was not a problem to go to the library of Great Wilderness Village and borrow a few cultivation techniques.
Ximen Linglan said, “Show me how you practice it.”
Han Fei obediently climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged. But what happened next stunned Ximen Linglan. She saw a large amount of spiritual energy gathering around Han Fei.
However, the spiritual energy only came over but refused to enter Han Fei’s body. It could only circle around Han Fei. Since the spiritual energy couldn’t cleanse his body, Han Fei couldn’t cultivate.
However, what surprised Ximen Linglan was that if Han Fei really couldn’t cultivate, why would spiritual energy rush over so quickly?
“Is this a cultivation technique problem? Or a physique problem?”
Ximen Linglan guessed that Han Fei’s father must have thought of the same problem. Although he said that his son would be better not to cultivate, how could his son protect himself in this era if he couldn’t cultivate? He must can’t work out any good solution.
Ximen Linglan thought for a moment, then said, “w.a.n.g Han, wait for me at the reef beach tomorrow morning. I’ll think of a way to solve your cultivation problem.”
Hearing this, Han Fei immediately stared at Ximen Linglan. “Combat skills.”
Ximen Linglan said in a huff, “Let’s solve the problem of your cultivation technique first. Your combat skills are already very strong.”
Seeing that Han Fei was still staring at her, Ximen Linglan bared her teeth and said, “My house is next to your house. Are you afraid that I’ll run away?”
Han Fei agreed and grinned. “Okay!”
…
The next morning.
Han Fei arrived at the reef beach early in the morning.
Along the way, he caught seven or eight Mantis Shrimp and caught all that he could. He felt that if he wanted to learn combat skills, he had to eat his fill first. Therefore, he caught all that he could catch in one go.
Any deeper into the reefs would be a real threat. There would be crabs, lobsters, and Snake Belts hidden.
Han Fei had tried to catch them before, but the Snake Belt bit off a piece of flesh on his b.u.t.t, which took him several days to recover.
When Ximen Linglan arrived, she saw shrimp sh.e.l.ls all over the ground and a Mantis Shrimp that was being roasted.
She was instantly annoyed. You ate so much yourself, and you only left one for me? Think how hard I tried to get you a cultivation technique!
Ximen Linglan sniffed, and with a wave of her hand, threw down 16 cultivation techniques, and said, “Practice these cultivation techniques one by one.”
These were all the techniques that Ximen Linglan could find in the Great Wilderness Village. However, none of them were as good as the Turtle Origin Breathing Technique that Han Fei’s father had left for him.
However, no matter how good a cultivation technique was, it was useless if one couldn’t cultivate it.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for a normal person to not be able to cultivate.
If all these were all useless, then Ximen Linglan still had a backup plan. At worst, she would just let him try to cultivate her own technique. In any case, she was no longer a member of the Ximen family.
Han Fei’s eyes almost popped out when he saw so many cultivation techniques. He couldn’t help but grin as if he had seen delicious food.
Ximen Linglan said huffily, “What are you smiling like a fool for? Can you read them? If you can’t, I’ll explain them to you after I finish eating.”
“I can read them.”
Hearing Han Fei’s answer, Ximen Linglan felt that although Han Fei was not very smart, he could at least read. In that case, he was not very stupid.
However, when she saw Han Fei sitting on the beach and flipping through a book extremely fast, she was speechless. Are you reading a book?
Ximen Linglan felt that she had overestimated Han Fei. He was indeed a fool. It would be strange if he could read these cultivation techniques! She hadn’t even peeled the sh.e.l.l of the prawn when Han Fei had finished reading a cultivation technique book.
Ximen Linglan kicked a piece of sand, which landed on Han Fei. “Hey! What can you see if you ‘read’ so fast?”
Han Fei turned around in confusion. “Look at the pictures!”
“Uh ~”
Ximen Linglan was speechless. What’s the point of looking at pictures if you can’t even read words?
However, she saw Han Fei sit down and the spiritual energy around him began to gather. This guy had started to practice.
“Seriously?”
Ximen Linglan had forgotten to peel the prawn. She immediately stood up in shock. Even without reading the words, you can still understand a cultivation technique?
Han Fei once again overturned Ximen Linglan’s understanding of cultivation.
If he could cultivate like this, wouldn’t she be able to become a fis.h.i.+ng master within an extremely short period of time? It wouldn’t even be difficult for her to become a great fis.h.i.+ng master or a Dangling Fisher.
In front of her eyes, the same thing happened again. Spiritual energy couldn’t enter his body, and Han Fei still couldn’t cultivate. Seeing this, Ximen Linglan was confused. Was it a problem with his const.i.tution?
Ximen Linglan had discovered yesterday that Han Fei was astonis.h.i.+ngly strong. As an ordinary person, his reaction speed was comparable to that of a high-level fisher, and his strength was also comparable to that of a high-level fisher.
“Could it be that this const.i.tution requires a higher cultivation technique?”
“That’s not right! Which powerhouse didn’t cultivate from the basics? How could there be such a thing as reaching the heavens in a single bound?”
Ximen Linglan quickly ate a few mouthfuls of prawn meat, and then lost her appet.i.te. She was really too curious—this enigmatic idiot had overturned her understanding.
Ximen Linglan took out the cultivation techniques and lined them up in a row. Among them, there were one ultra-quality cultivation technique, six high-quality ones, seven mid-quality cultivation ones, and two low-quality ones.
Ximen Linglan said, “Come, let’s start with the best one on the left.”
However, Han Fei’s eyes fell on a technique named True Spirit Fis.h.i.+ng Art.
Puzzled, Ximen Linglan followed Han Fei’s gaze and said, “What are you looking at? Let’s start from the best.”
Of course, Ximen Linglan knew about True Spirit Fis.h.i.+ng Art.
In this era, it could only be regarded as a low-quality cultivation technique. Most people wouldn’t even look at it. Ximen Linglan only brought all the cultivation techniques she could get and didn’t expect Han Fei to choose this one.
However, Han Fei stared at True Spirit Fis.h.i.+ng and said, “I want to practice this.”
Ximen Linglan bared her teeth. “This is the worst. No one will practice it.”
Han Fei said firmly, “I want to practice this.”
Ximen Linglan was about to say something when she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He had never seen True Spirit Fis.h.i.+ng Art before, so why did he want to practice it? Han Fei’s father would never choose True Spirit Fis.h.i.+ng Art for him.
After all, he had even taken out the Turtle Origin Breathing Technique. Why would he choose a low-quality cultivation technique for his son to cultivate?
Ximen Linglan said, “Then give it a try.”
Ximen Linglan was curious. Was there something different about the True Spirit Fis.h.i.+ng Art?
Han Fei picked up the book and flipped through it. Ximen Linglan didn’t even get a chance to see it clearly… She was about to say something when she suddenly felt that something was wrong. The temperature around her suddenly rose.
All of a sudden, the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth in the surroundings started to surge over.
Spiritual energy poured into Han Fei like a pillar.
Ximen Linglan’s jaw dropped. This… this can’t be true? How could a low-quality cultivation technique have such a terrifying cultivation effect?
More importantly, Han Fei didn’t seem to be cultivating. He was still holding the book.
Buzz!
Purple air came from the east and Han Fei was instantly burnt.
Apart from Han Fei being on fire, many creatures crawled out of the reefs. There were lobsters, crabs, starfish, sea scorpions, and giant insects…
Ximen Linglan shouted, “w.a.n.g Han, stop! Stop!”
However, Han Fei seemed to be frozen and didn’t hear what Ximen Linglan said at all. His whole body was red, and his clothes were burnt to ashes.
