Chapter 54: Li Xiuchen’s Bad Luck (3)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

As a woman, particularly a less competent cultivator, Mu Ruorong needed to find herself helpers. So, when she was just a beginner, she figured out the advantage as a woman – her body. She intentionally wore sexy clothes, pretending to be lustful, fooling the men to team up with her so that she could have higher chance of survival.

Loathing all these dickheads who thought nothing but get on top of her – although she was still a virgin – Mu Ruorong didn’t realize that her wearing was not that appropriate.

Appearance was a weapon, and Luo Jianqing knew how difficult it was to be a rouge cultivator.

If Li Xiuchen wasn’t a disciple of Tai Hua Mountain, Mu Ruorong would have killed him at the moment he even attempted to touch her, but she was just a rouge cultivator, therefore nobody’s got her back. She could do nothing except being tolerant.

However, this tolerance opened a gateway to unrespect.

Luo Jianqing didn’t ponder about what he’d interfered. Although he didn’t feel Mu Ruorong annoying, in some ways he even understood her, he could hardly say he had a good feeling about her. Luo Jianiqng was quite satisfied for what he had done – Li Xiuchen didn’t earn Mu Ruorong’s trust today. Though it might be temporary, it was still a thing cheering enough to guarantee him a night of sweet dream. He got up early the next morning, and caught up with Li Xiuchen.

Beaten by Luo Jianqing yesterday, Li Xiuchen was embarrassed, so he entered the Wan Shou Peak before dawn under the cover of darkness so that nobody could notice him. Several miles behind him, Luo Jianqing followed Li Xiuchen with a steady pace, while the latter one was cursing loudly.

Hearing those words, instead of feeling offended, Luo Jianqing felt it quite hilarious.

“If Master could curse like this, then I’ll be damned”, Luo Jianqing imagined Xuan Lingzi acting like Li Xiuchen, and was suddenly covered with goose bumps, “no, no, no, definitely no……that’s not him at all, yep, Master shouldn’t be doing this……”

Luo Jianqing followed Li Xiuchen for one hour until the tailed one met a second-level Demon Beast whose cultivation equals a fourth to sixth level of Qi Condensation Period human cultivator. Li Xiuchen killed the beasts like a piece of cake and took the Beast Core. Watching his every movement, Luo Jianqing chuckled, “meeting a second-level Demon Beast at the very edge of Wan Shou Peak, how lucky he is……”

A second-level Demon Beast wasn’t appealing to Luo Jianqing at all, so he remained quiet and kept following him.

Watching Li Xiuchen hunting down several low-level Demon Beasts, Luo Jianqing was bored. He started to entertain himself by giving the frustrated beasts a hand – using his Spiritual Power helping the beast to avoid a lethal strike, so that it could continue to fight Li Xiuchen.

Well, no one could blame him by that. He was helping his younger brother by creating some higher-level opponent to sharpen his skills!

After taking down four or five beasts, Li Xiuchen was suspicious, “why the heck these beasts are so difficult to tackle with?”

Ops, seemed like he found out. Luo Jianqing sat on the top of a tree, relaxing, watching wind dancing with the clouds on the vast sapphire firmament.

When Li Xiuchen slaughtered another Demon Beasts, he found this one very easy to defeat, but after he broke the beast’s parietal and tried to take the Beast Core, he was surprised to see……

“Ah! Where is it? Where is that god damn Beast Core?!”

Not far away from him, Luo Jianqing looked at his palm. A white second-level Beast Core was there, he put it into his Interspatial Ring

Most Demon Beasts would form a Beast Core in their heads. Only a very few of them couldn’t even form one. These beasts are counted as disabled and won't reach a higher level for they were restricted by their lacking of Beast Core.

Killing four coreless beasts in a row, Li Xiuchen couldn’t believe what he was experiencing.

“Is today a bad day?!”

Luo Jianqing was obviously tricking Li Xiuchen while the latter one didn’t notice it at all. Luo Jianqing already collected five Beast Cores, but he only had one plan for these Beast Cores.

“yep, gonna give them to little sister as hoodle supplies.”

Watching Li Xiuchen got fooled for a whole morning, Luo Jianqing gradually lost his interest. He sent a block of stone which contained his sense to keep tailing Li Xiuchen and started to cultivate. A place like this where full of Spiritual Herbs and Demon Beasts was a perfect location to practice Nine Heavenly Seizure Record.

Completed the third seizure, Luo Jianiqng found that the record became easier to understand.

The Third Seizure – Seizing Right and Wrong – was not built for seizing something that had actual form but the invisible rules, boundaries and limitations among the world. Luo Jianqing was just a Nascent Soul Period cultivator, not powerful enough to seize the rule yet, but he was getting more and more familiar with the rules through every failed attempt.

His power was getting stronger so he could seize more Spiritual Power from nature.

For five days, Luo Jianqing closed his eyes and cultivated, letting Li Xiuchen run free in the day time and catching him up at about midnight.

Before he even reached thirteen years old, Luo Jianqing was already very familiar with the outer range of the Wan Shou Peak. Li Xiuchen’s speed was no faster than a snail, he didn’t get out of the outer range for five days. At a place like this, Li Xiuchen might find good opportunities, but none of them would worth Luo Jianqing’s attention.

However, when Luo Jianqing witnessed the sixth sunrise and was about to close his eyes for cultivation, he suddenly heard a loud warble.

Eyes widened, he hurried his way towards Li Xiuchen. A giant bird big as a hill was caught by his eyes. With shining golden feathers and scarlet beak, the Golden Phoenix was staring a crowd of cultivators in hatred, roaring in wrath and spurting burning flames.

Li Xiuchen just arrived here and was hiding aside looking for chances.

Right in front of the giant bird, three teams of fully armed cultivators were fighting with it. The weakest one among them had already reached Qi Condensation Period, and the leaders had achieved……the middle-stage of Golden Core Period!

A total of nineteen cultivators were taking strikes constantly.

“The Golden Phoenix’s weakness was at its chest! Captain! Let’s aim at its chest!”

“No problem!”

The Golden Core Period cultivator – who was referred as ‘captain’ – was bending the bow and shooting the arrow. An ice made giant arrow was infused with Spiritual Power. It was flying in a lightning speed as if it was splitting the sky in half. At last, the arrow stabbed the Phoenix right at its chest. The bird let out a painful groan. Eyes filled with destruction, it roared with drastically as if it was distaining these humans who had invaded its territory and wounded it.

The cultivators made a great team. After the captain’s ice arrow pierced the Golden Phoenix’s chest, another Golden Core Period cultivator brandished his knife. Spiritual Power was emerging from the knife and transformed into a ferocious Lion which rushed to the bird with no hesitation.

“Demon Captivity String!”

A beam of purple light was dazzling in the hands of a dozen Qi Condensation Period cultivators. They summoned their own Demon Captivity String while sealing hand signs, making the strings tangle together to form a gigantic web. At the moment that Blade-Shadow-made lion got the Golden Phoenix and wrestled with it, the web was dropped from the sky.

Another ice arrow was shot. The Phoenix saw the weapon which hurt it once, suddenly burst out an angry warble. Stretched out its wings, the bird created a wind of flame, crushed the lion using one claw and evaporated the arrow by sprouting fire.

Two Golden Core Period cultivators immediately spat out blood. Their Spiritual Power was greatly damaged.

“Captain!”

“Captain!”

The two of them comforted their teammates, then looked back, staring at the Golden Phoenix which was caught by that gigantic purple web. It was captivated and had nowhere to escape. The leaders still couldn’t let their guard down. Suddenly, they exchanged looks and rushed toward the confined bird.

“Serene Iced Arrow!”

“Wrath Lion Blade!”

With an ice arrow escorting aside, a lion was dashing toward the Golden Phoenix. Seeing its enemies getting closer and closer, the Phoenix flapped its wings desperately and created mammoth flame whirlwind, but still, it was caught by the web with nowhere to hide.
