The Eight Dragons Sacred Heart Technique that was modified by Feng Xia began circulating throughout the Thousand Autumn Valley.
From the elders to the ordinary disciples, whoever was willing to learn the technique and was tenacious enough would be personally taught by the guest elder.
Before this, Feng Xia’s reputation was mostly linked to the words “mysterious”, “violent”, and “unreasonable”…
However, Feng Xia’s reputation completely changed overnight.
A warm-hearted and righteous person who risked his life to help others!
All kinds of lofty descriptions were used to describe him, some of which even Feng Xia himself found unbelievable .
Yet, Feng Xia accepted all these praises of course… and without any sense of shame.
Yes, yes, yes. Can you say that again? That part about how awesome Senior Feng Xia is…
“Eh, Youniang, you seem to be…”
One day, Feng Xia returned to Qionghua Courtyard after a long day and saw Zhu Youniang walking daintily out of the house in her fair and delicate bare feet.
He opened his mouth subconsciously. His instincts were telling him that there seemed to be something different about this mutant girl in front of him.
She never took care of her black flowy hair, but it was still so dark and glossy. If she was on Earth, those models in hair care advertisements would die of shame if they compared themselves with her.
And her fair and delicate skin, exquisite facial features, and slender but curvy body…
At first glance, nothing seemed to have changed.
However, Feng Xia was still stunned for a moment. He activated his soul perception out of the blue and then raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Youniang, did you have a breakthrough in cultivation?”
“A breakthrough in cultivation?”
The young girl blinked, then nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her pretty face, “According to the logic of you humans, I guess it is considered a breakthrough?”
She stretched out her fair and slender neck and spoke smugly.
“After all, I’ve eaten a lot of nice food in the Thousand Autumn Valley these past few days. In particular, the fellow I caught previously has many round food balls with him. They taste so sweet and I would say they can be ranked second best among all the things I’ve eaten!”
“Round food balls?”
He ignored the fact that Youniang had mentioned there was some other food that she ranked first in terms of deliciousness and asked her curiously, “You mean that young sect master of Tianjue Sect? What kind of round food balls can this guy have on him…”
He pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of something—
Medicinal pills!
These were stuff that would appear countless times in fantasy novels and Feng Xia had even seen Foundation Construction Pills sold on a certain online platform. However, after coming to the alternate world, he had only heard the names of different medicinal pills and had never seen a real one yet!
“I think it’s called… medicinal pills?”
Zhu Youniang bit her finger and looked excited while speaking with some uncertainty, “At first, that annoying fellow mocked me and said that it was something called Nine Poison Heart Eroding Pill that could even poison Divine Power Realm cultivators. He said that if I eat a large handful in one go, I would die after less than ten breaths. In the end…”
Feng Xia was stunned by what he heard and his expression became extremely strange.
The young sect master of Tianjue Sect may be ignorant, but how could he be equally ignorant?
Zhu Youniang was a mutant that transformed from a poisonous black jade spider. If that fellow fed her something else, it might have caused her to have indigestion, but if he fed her a poisonous pill…
It would be the alternate world equivalent of trying to hit a dog by throwing a meat bun at it!
“It seems like that fellow has a lot of evil ideas. I’m afraid his intention was to trick you into eating the poisonous pills so that he could make use of the opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know who he’s dealing with…”
Feng Xia shook his head and silently lit a candle for Tianjue Sect’s young sect master.
Out of so many people, you fed the poisonous pills to her?
You fed poisonous pills to a poisonous spider girl!
In the end, not only was she fine, she even had a breakthrough in cultivation after eating the pills. Did that make you angry?
“Speaking of which, since Youniang has a breakthrough in cultivation, then is he…”
Just as Feng Xia was thinking about this, the girl suddenly pounced on him. She moved her soft and flexible body very close to him, then she raised her slender arms and wrapped them around his neck.
As the girl spoke, her warm and moist breath blew against Feng Xia’s earlobe.
“So…”
“I’m here to kill you again…”
Imperceptibly, the girl locked her white eyes onto Feng Xia. There seemed to be whirlpools slowly spinning in her eyes, ready to suck out and devour his soul.
Crack—
As soon as she finished speaking, a pitch-black light suddenly appeared. In the void, black flowers started condensing, looking beautiful and dreamy. They streaked across Feng Xia’s chest and tore his clothes into pieces.
And then…
Nothing happened.
For the past few days, Feng Xia had also been cultivating diligently (i.e. beating people up). Although the speed at which his strength increased was not as fast as when he was in the Ancient Forsaken Land, it was still considered a steady improvement. He had advanced quite a bit compared to before.
Therefore…
Zhu Youniang’s murder plot failed again.
“It’s still useless.”
Zhu Youniang pouted in dissatisfaction. She released her soft arms and jumped down from Feng Xia’s body.
Feng Xia was speechless. “… After all this time, you still haven’t forgotten about this matter?”
Hearing this, Zhu Youniang turned around and spoke to him in a righteous tone.
“I’ve never forgotten my real purpose of leaving the Ancient Forsaken Land!”
“But why do I feel that you’ve long forgotten about home…”
Feng Xia did not know whether to laugh or cry as he continued muttering, “Speaking of which, since you had a breakthrough in your cultivation, I wonder if your ability to bring people underground has also improved?”
He had suddenly thought of a problem.
Currently, he had already fully comprehended the Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique by accumulating all his efforts.
Even the creator of this cultivation technique, as well as the past and present emperors of Xuanwu Kingdom, would not be able to say that their comprehension of the Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique could surpass Feng Xia by much!
The only problem was…
Comprehension was still only comprehension.
He still needed enough time and energy to transform his comprehension of the technique into real strength within him!
“Other than the Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique, I might have a way to obtain the cultivation techniques and unique skills of the other factions. To succeed in this matter, it’ll depend on whether Youniang is willing to help.”
“Ah, that ability?” Zhu Youniang bit her finger and pondered. “It’s indeed a little stronger than before. Previously, when I brought people in and out, I would get exhausted. Now, not so much…”
Feng Xia’s eyes instantly lit up.
“In that case, bring me out now!”
“Eh? Are you going out now… Alright then.”
The girl pursed her lips and quickly walked forward. She gently held Feng Xia’s hand and then the two of them disappeared from Qionghua Courtyard in a flash.
At the same time.
At one of the five altars of the Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation.
“Sect Master, there seems to be… a problem with the secret technique.”
The thin young man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Tianjue Sect Master with a strange expression.
