Chapter 834 - 754: The Pride of the Longbow
In the blink of an eye, everyone had already received the cultivation methods for the Chaos Realm.
Except for Su Baiqian, everyone had stepped into the Chaos Realm, pausing around the mid-stages of the Spirit Spring Realm.
Everyone was quite happy.
“Everyone has gotten new things… Hmm, I can also learn something new.”
At this moment, Yun Xi’s large eyes were filled with joy.
She didn’t ask Li Fan for a cultivation method because she had always been… learning everything.
In a sense, she was the one with the fastest progress in cultivation; she was the first to master all nine sets of radio gymnastics.
Other ways, like painting and music, she was almost neck and neck with Zi Ling, Nan Feng, and the others.
Yun Xi looked at everyone and thought to herself,
“However, everyone’s realm has improved quite rapidly… Hmm, I should make a breakthrough too!”
No sooner had her words fallen than her aura soared.
She passed the Divine Path and directly reached the vicinity of the Spirit Spring Realm!
Sensing Yun Xi’s change, everyone was somewhat shocked.
“Is Sister Yunxi too terrifying… She doesn’t need the Chaos Law?”
“As she pleases, she breaks through whenever she wants to?”
“Terrifying, truly terrifying…”
A group of disciples all had complex expressions on their faces.
They had thought they were fast enough, but it turned out that Yun Xi was even more monstrous.
Did the constraints of the realm not seem to exist for her? And she didn’t need to cultivate the Chaos Law?
The Big Black Dog hid behind the peach tree, now filled with fear in its doggy eyes, muttering to itself:
“The woman who could establish the Nine Laws, the only one who didn’t need the master to show the way and could still find the path… To her, the Chaos Realm is like child’s play.”
“Woof, too brutal!”
At this moment, Lu Rang suddenly called out loudly:
“Master… come quickly!”
“The Bodhi Seed has been nurtured back to health!”
A few days earlier, Qing Chen and the others had returned, bringing back a Bodhi Seed.
But it had barely any life force left.
To revitalize it, Li Fan had placed the Bodhi Seed under the peach tree to catch some dew during times of yin.
This could trigger its vitality.
Just now, Lu Rang had received the Six Essentials of Planting and Nurturing and conceived a bold idea.
After all, there was a peculiar method in the book: grafting!
It could graft another person’s cultivation onto his plant or even onto himself.
He thought that with so many branches on the peach tree, casting off a small twig probably wouldn’t matter…
So he sneaked and tiptoed towards the peach tree, intending to do some mischief.
But as he approached, the peach tree’s paper slips lightly dropped, and with a change in qi, Lu Rang broke out in goosebumps.
Done for, had Tao Jie noticed??
In his panic, he quickly called out, summoning his master to save his life.
Otherwise, he felt he was done for!
Upon hearing this, Li Fan also came over.
He bent down to pick up the Bodhi Seed beneath the peach tree, which now looked plumper.
Indeed, it was ready to be planted.
“Take it and plant it, care for it well,” said Li Fan, handing it to Lu Rang.
Generally speaking, Li Fan would only plant by hand those Plants that were truly dead.
The Bodhi Seed contained life force; Lu Rang was capable of planting it well.
Hearing this, Lu Rang was like a man reprieved, quickly retreating from the peach tree with the Bodhi Seed, saying:
“Master, rest assured, I will plant it well!”
Qing Chen also went along to help, and before long, the two had planted the Bodhi Seed.
It wouldn’t be long before the courtyard might have an additional Bodhi Tree.
Seeing this, Li Fan was pleased and held even more anticipation.
Only one more plant was needed!
One step away, and he could step beyond the Qi Refinement Stage.
He had been trapped in the first layer of Qi Cultivation for far too long.
Even if he found the last plant, it would still be four or five years’ time; breaking through the Qi Refinement Stage in four or five years in the Cultivation World, who knew what kind of talent that would be considered…
Medium? Below average?
Anyway, it certainly wouldn’t be the very worst, the absolute bottom, right?
After all, Li Fan knew that in the Cultivation World, fate played a big part.
Some bottom-level disciples might never break through the Qi Refinement Stage in their entire lives.
Thinking of this, he felt somewhat consoled!
When he reached Foundation Establishment, he would be even stronger!
Reaching the Golden Core Stage was just around the corner!
He couldn’t help but glance at the disciples in the courtyard, wondering if one day, when they discovered their master was actually a big shot at the Golden Core Stage, would they be shocked??
No, he must keep calm, maintain a good mindset!
Li Fan took a deep breath, his old face as composed as ever.
At that moment, a voice sounded from outside:
“Wu Xiaokun… is here to pay respects to Senior Li!”
The sound of knocking ensued.
Li Fan said,
“Please come in.”
Wu Xiaokun pushed the door and entered.
As he stepped into the courtyard, approaching with full respect, he suddenly felt that the qi of the master and his people…
Chaos??
Moreover, stronger than his own!
Spirit Spring Realm, huh?
Wu Xiaokun couldn’t help but feel admiration. In just a few days, their master and the others had advanced as if soaring.
They were too strong.
“Xiao Kun, why are you here?”
On seeing him, Qing Chen walked over and asked.
Wu Xiaokun said in a low voice,
“Reporting to master, we… we’ve encountered some trouble.”
Before he traveled with Qing Chen, Lin Jiu Zheng, and others, he knew that master’s teacher, Senior Li, chose seclusion from the mundane world and disliked interfering in Cultivation World affairs. Therefore, he now very thoughtfully transmitted his message telepathically, explaining about the surfacing of the Grand Dao Golden Ranking and the attack of the Xuan Yizong sect, among other things.
On hearing this, Qing Chen couldn’t help but let out a laugh and said,
“They’re actively seeking transcendence…”
He immediately turned around and spoke, “Master, Xiao Kun and the others have encountered some trouble. Your disciple wishes to go out for a while.”
Li Fan heard this and nodded, saying,
“More people could be involved. Since it’s going to be a fight, we should take it seriously.”
He didn’t even need to ask; he guessed they were yet again tangled up in some troublesome affair.
After all, frequent fighting on behalf of outsiders… he was quite accustomed to it.
Fire Spirit and others would often get into fights protecting the business and market of their art exhibitions.
Later, Mu Wanqing’s village also faced frequent bullying, and he had lent a hand more than a few times.
…Li Fan had grown numb.
This world was full of tricks.
So, since they were going to fight, he didn’t bother to ask any further, trusting that his group of disciples had plenty of experience.
Hearing this, Qing Chen nodded and said,
“Master’s words are true.”
Qing Chen then looked to the side and spoke,
“Brother Long, Junior Brother Da De, would you accompany me on this trip?”
He called for Wu Dade mainly for him to bring along Big Black Dog. With that Dead Dog there, only it could trick others and prevent itself from being tricked.
As for Long Zixuan, it was because they had noticed that Wu Xiaokun’s combat formation seemed somewhat similar to Long Zixuan’s…
There might be some connection.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dade, who was convulsing from the Formless Phoenix True Fire by the chicken coop, suddenly sprang to his feet.
He felt that the Earth Chicken… had finally spared him.
At that moment, Wu Dade was so moved he almost cried!
Senior Brother Qingchen was truly a kind person. Without him bringing Wu Dade along, who knows how long he would’ve suffered this torment.
“Great, great! I love a good fight!”
He stood up, still feeling overheated all over.
By the poolside, Long Zixuan also nodded and said,
“I can do it!”
His eyes also shone with anticipation.
“Six Ways of Sky Hunting” called for training the Martial Will, eyes, ears, hands, legs, and archery… Each aspect was inseparable from actual combat.
“Master, may your disciple… take a bow with him??”
Long Zixuan turned around and looked towards Li Fan!
He was a bit apprehensive inside.
Li Fan smiled upon hearing this. This Long Zixuan… was making progress this time. He knew to bring a sharp weapon for a fight!
“Of course, you may.”
“Go to the study and choose one yourself.”
Long Zixuan was instantly thrilled and replied, “As Master commands!”
He then turned around and headed for the study.
On the study walls hung a bow and a sword!
They were the only two weapons in the room.
The bow, Long Zixuan had seen his master carry out once: defying the karmic cause of ages and sweeping across the eight desolations of the universe, absolutely invincible.
The sword, he had never seen his master use.
A bow and a sword hung quietly on the wall, but at this moment, Long Zixuan felt an immense pressure.
It came from the bow!
Long Zixuan had the feeling as though he was being scrutinized by a formidable and supreme entity.
Was that… the will of the bow?
Faced with tremendous pressure, sweat rolling down his face, Long Zixuan still clenched his teeth and said,
“Following Master’s orders, I have come to take a bow!”
The great pressure seemed to undergo a slight change.
That will appeared to whisper,
“You’re so weak. Accompanying you out is truly embarrassing for me.”
“There’s a bow stave made by the master in the corner; take it yourself.”
“Hmph, master told you to take a bow, but he did not specify me to go.”
Upon hearing this, Long Zixuan almost spat blood.
Damn it…
Although he knew the bow was profound, did it need to be so direct in speech??
That was too hurtful!!
Long Zixuan was utterly disheartened.
He turned and spotted a bow stave in a bamboo basket in the corner.
The bow stave showed only the bare outline, not yet strung.
Even so, this bow stave seemed to possess an unspeakable status and power.
“Following Master’s orders, I have come to take a bow!”
In a low murmur, Long Zixuan picked up the bow stave.
…
Climbing Mount Heng was too tiring.
Good night.
