Chapter 50: I would give Xuan Ling Sword to others for you (1)
It was known to all cultivators in the world that the perseverance, consciousness and willpower of cultivators were more important than spiritual bones. All of them were indispensable. If you have those three elements, you could become a top-level cultivator even with poor spiritual bones. Hundreds of years ago, the Four Demon Exalts entered an agreement with Xuan Lingzi according to which Xuan was banned from stepping out of Tai Hua Mountain.
In case that it would cause chaos if more cultivators knew about it, only cultivators above the Da Cheng Period, except Luo Jianqing, knew about this agreement. Born with supernatural bones, it only took Sir Xuan Lingzi three hundred years to break through Deity Transformation stage. To some extent, he had surpa.s.sed the cultivators of Ancient Times.
However, it did not mean that Xuan Lingzi was not favored by chance.
When he was young, he had involved himself in countless battles between the two species and had been to various dangerous places. It had been said that he once challenged a nine-level demon beast in Wan Shou Peak when he was in Tribulation Pa.s.sage Period. Xuan Lingzi had a lot of chance. He often obtained big chance or breakthrough when his life was hung by a thread. As if with the help of G.o.d, he reached Deity Transformation stage within only three hundred years, which shocked the world.
However, now the Demon was forbidding Xuan from growing stronger in order to prevent him from breaking through the next stage and dominating the war between them.
Just like when Li Xiuchen came back from Liu Yan Valley, Sir Guang Lingzi didn’t get suspicious when he checked his body and found no spiritual bones. He believed that Li Xiuchen was that kind of person with perseverance, consciousness, willpower, and most importantly, blessed with big chance.
Now, Li Xiuchen was leaving for Wan Shou Peak to find chance as Sir Guang Lingzi had predicted.
Before he left, Li Xiuchen came to Hao Ming Peak to bid farewell to his Master. Sir Guang Lingzi was glad to see that and delightedly gave Li Xiuchen a defensive magic treasure. He also urged Li Xiuchen to work hard to seize a chance. After talking with his Master, Li Xiuchen came to Xie Zizhuo who was standing next to him.
Xie Zizhuo, who was dressed in black, said sarcastically, “What? I know you are leaving. Just go.”
After making a salute, Li Xiuchen said, “Brother Xie, I’m too young and I know I have offended you many times before. I apologize for that. Please forgive me.”
Seeing that, Xie Zizhuo twitched his lips. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Sir Guang Lingzi saying, “Look at him. What a gentleman! It’s pretty rare that one should seek chance months before the compet.i.tion. That shows perseverance. To some extent, you are his teacher too. In my opinion, you should lend him your Floating Cloud Blade so he can have something to protect him when he was endangered.”
Xie Zizhuo suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief and looked to his master: “Master, you are asking me to lend him Floating Cloud Blade?!”
The burly Sir Guang Lingzi sat on his chair looking like a mountain. Upon hearing his question, he frowned, “What? You seem unhappy about this? I heard you have been playing all the time and spent little time instructing your junior brother.”
These words greatly infuriated Xie Zizhuo.
They immediately started bickering with no regard to the fact that they were in a hall.
Guang Lingzi was a rough diamond himself and it came as no surprise that he should have a disciple as uncouth as Xie Zizhuo. They didn’t look like a couple of master and disciple at all. One said, “You are his master. Why do you teach him yourself?” The other retorted, “I am your master. Do as I say.” This back-and-forth squabble continued for a long while. In the end, Xie Zizhuo got so furious that he took out his Floating Cloud Blade, ready to charge, but with a crook of Guang Lingzi’s finger, he was easily suppressed.
Xie Zizhuo stared at his master furiously. Seemingly having perceived the anger of his beloved disciple, Guang Lingzi burst into laughter and waved his arm to deliver Li Xiuchen another magic treasure. “Don’t mind him. Take this. There was half of my power in it to keep you safe when you are at a critical moment.
Li Xiuchen was overjoyed, “Thank you Master!”
Xie Zizhuo was suppressed on the ground and trying to hold back his impulse to defect from his school.
Soon, Li Xiuchen left the hall. He couldn’t help but smile, all the while scanning the magic treasures in his interspatial ring with the help of spiritual sense. Although Li Xiuchen didn’t look handsome, he was nonetheless quite known these days. He was not popular in Hao Ming Peak, but it’s better than before.
Li Xiuchen was not the same loser he had once been in his previous life in which he cared nothing other than reading pirated e-books. He was nineteen years old this year and he had become quite reserved since he came back from Liu Yan Valley.
“Now everything seems going on as planned, so I will still go to Wan Shou Peak to get my chance. It doesn’t matter that I didn’t got accepted by the Yu Xiao Peak. I’m a nine-level cultivator of Qi Refining, and I’m bound to reach Foundation Establishment next year. By then, I will follow the plot and see where the plot will take me. Hahhahah.”
Thinking about this, Li Xiuchen couldn’t help but put on a wretched smile.
Although it had only been a few months since he went to Wan Shou Peak, he unexpectedly got himself a potential second wife. The first one was Mu Tianxin who he had already slept with in the ruins. Since he had no connection with Mu Tianxin now, he was planning to replace her with this future second wife.
Reminded of the words “wild and hot”, Liu Xiuchen could hardly hold back his l.u.s.t.
Soon, Li Xiuchen handed in an application to the elders before he left. On his out, he kept thinking how the Seeking Immortality entered his mind while pa.s.sing through to this world. Now he had to be cautious as he was seeking for chance and the second wife.
He hoped that it would not be like that last time with Mu Tianxin and that he would be able to meet Mu Ruorong.
Li Xiuchen trembled, and then he sped up.
However, at that moment he didn’t know that a handsome and elegant cultivator dressed in blue was sitting idly at the tip of the tree five miles behind him looking up at the clear blue sky. Back then Li Xiuchen was a nine-level Qi Refining cultivator and he was only a bit better than ordinary people in speed. So when he had gone far, this cultivator in blue slowly moved forward and followed him calmly.
This cultivator was Luo Jianqing.
