Chapter 1378: Refining the Saint-Perishing Fruit
Entering the neighboring room, Qingfeng took out the Saint-Perishing Fruit and placed it upon the desk before him. “Senior Fire Dragon,” he said. “Senior Dark Night Emperor, the two of you can come out now.”
In a ray of red light, the Fire Dragon Soul flew out from Qingfeng Li’s mind. His body was a transparent specter, shrunk down to just a few meters long as it hovered in mid-air.
The Soul of Dark Night Emperor also flew out from the long sword and floated in the air.
The two of them stared at the Saint-Perishing Fruit sitting on the desk before them, their expressions solemn.
The Saint-Perishing Fruit, as its name suggested, was a treasure that was capable of killing a Saint, originally from the ancient era. It held immense power, and even they had to approach it with caution.
Only a Saint would be able to sense the immense aura that the Saint-Perishing Fruit exuded. Lesser self-cultivators were not able to feel it clearly.
Despite being an Emperor Class self-cultivator, Qingfeng Li was still unable to perceive the power of the Saint-Perishing Fruit clearly.
Black Heavenly Dao talisman scriptures glowed upon the surface of the Saint-Perishing Fruit. They held a power that could destroy all of existence, a power that wanted to consume everything.
The Heavenly Dao talisman scriptures flickered before it suddenly burst from the surface of the fruit. It shot straight toward the skies with an intimidating force, seemingly in an attempt to fly away. The Saint-Perishing Fruit had perceived its own fate, that it would be refined if it stayed here, and had been unwilling to die here. It wanted to escape.
“You think you can run?” Qingfeng Li smirked, his eyes cold as he said.
Channeling his spirit energy, Qingfeng Li released the Black-White Millstone.
The Black-White Millstone sprung from Qingfeng Li’s mind, releasing a ray each of black and white light. As the millstone spun, the light was bent into a “S” shape. The millstone radiated a powerful suppressing force that forced the Saint-Perishing Fruit to stay in place, not daring to escape.
The surface of the Saint-Perishing Fruit contained the immense power of saint level Heavenly Dao talisman scripts. But before the chaotic presence of the Black-White Millstone, it seemed to tremble in fear.
The stage was set, now for the final act.
Qingfeng Li grinned. “Now beginning the refinement of the Saint-Perishing Fruit,” he said.
Qingfeng Li, the Fire Dragon Soul, the Soul of Dark Night Emperor, and the Black-White Millstone each released their spirit energy. The combined energy flew straight into the Saint-Perishing Fruit, refining the talisman scripts on its surface and reducing it to liquid form.
At first, the Perish Immoral Fruit tried to struggle, but under the suppression of the Black-White Millstone, it quickly abandoned its attempt. The talisman scripts upon its surface began to fade and a black liquid began to drip from its interior.
In a hurry, Qingfeng Li produced a small bowl and placed it under the fruit to catch the black liquid.
Each drop of the black liquid was the size of a regular drop of water. In reality, however, it contained an immense amount of power. Each drop seemed to have the power of a Saint.
Standing there, Qingfeng Li felt his body begin to break apart, cracks began to appear on his skin all over his body.
Using the Mortal Purgatory Body, Qingfeng Li suppressed the power of the liquid, preventing it from spreading further through his body.
“Qingfeng Li,” the Dark Night Emperor said to him. “This black liquid is called the Saint Nectar of Hell. This is a substance that can refine a Saint. Now that we’ve refined it, its power has been reduced significantly. You can use it to strengthen the power of your skin and muscle.”
Qingfeng Li nodded. He knew that the development of his Mortal Purgatory Body had hit a ceiling. Breaking through again would be difficult and he needed the help of natural treasures. However, these tended to be extremely rare.
The Saint Nectar of Hell before him was one of these substances. Qingfeng Li could use it to strengthen his body, and it was two birds with one stone.
Qingfeng Li strode forward, stopping before the Saint-Perishing Fruit. He let the saint-level power radiating from the fruit tear apart his skin.
The power of the Saint-level fruit lacerated Qingfeng Li’s skin, leaving countless wounds that spilled fresh blood. The wounds were deep enough to show bone.
Qingfeng Li felt the piercing pain. It was as if his body was being sliced apart by a thousand knives. He clenched his jaw, his hands turning into fists, as he endured the pain. At the same time, he silently activated his Mortal Purgatory Body.
The Mortal Purgatory Body was a powerful body strengthening technique that was capable of advancing to the Immortal Level. It involved the strengthened parts of the human body including the skin, muscle, meridians, tendon, bone, and organs. Ultimately, it turns the body into an indestructible entity, stronger than any other substance in existence.
Qingfeng Li could feel that, despite being torn open, his skin was undergoing a change. The torn skin was being reshaped. The old skin was wasting away while new skin took its place.
This new skin glittered with a golden light. It was as though Qingfeng Li was cast from gold, the golden gleam dancing off him with a blinding intensity and forcing those watching to turn away.
The change was not limited to his skin, Qingfeng Li’s muscle, meridians, tendons and bones were all transformed to gold as well. Compared to the faint golden coloration it had previously, the color was now more dazzling, more beautiful.
Qingfeng Li felt his physique growing stronger, his power increasing. Even though he was still at the Half-Step Spirit Emperor Realm, his attack power and combat power surpassed that of the Spirit Emperor Realm.
Qingfeng Li was confident that if he were to encounter the Three-Eyed Fiend now, he could kill him with one punch. He would need only physical power. There would be no need to use any other attacks, and no need to use golden flame.”
“Little one,” said Dark Night Emperor with a smile. “Your Mortal Purgatory Body had a break-through. Hurry and catch the black liquid and go save the baby.” His eyes held a hint of approval as they looked upon Qingfeng Li.
This Mortal Purgatory Body technique had been taught to Qingfeng Li by the Dark Night Emperor. He’d watched him gradually develop the technique, growing step-by-step. It filled his heart with boundless joy.
Once upon a time, Dark Night Emperor had also practiced this technique. But in the end, he did not succeed. His progress was also nowhere as fast as Qingfeng Li’s.
Because he had the Dark Night Emperor as a teacher, along with extreme talent, comprehension and physical strength, the rate at which his Mortal Purgatory Body technique progressed was faster than even that of Dark Night Emperor long ago. His foundations were also more stable than his predecessor.
Qingfeng Li let out a breath and released a beam of golden energy. The beam pierced a large hole in the wall before flying into the clouds.
When he opened his eyes, two beams of golden light also shot from his eyes. They were like twin golden swords, piercing the heavens.
After a long moment, Qingfeng Li recalled the light in his eyes and walked up to the Saint-Perishing Fruit.
At this point, the Saint-Perishing Fruit had been completely refined. It had been transformed into a bowl of black liquid. The liquid exuded a strong aura of Saint-level energy and Heavenly Dao talisman scripts danced on its surface. This was the Saint Nectar of Hell.
The Saint Nectar of Hell was a substance that only Saints were meant to have. It was extremely valuable. If it appeared in the World of Self-Cultivators, it would no doubt cause a pandemonium.
The war between the Eastern and Western Worlds of Self-Cultivators was now in progress. If those of the Western World knew that Qingfeng Li was in possession of the Saint Nectar of Hell, they would definitely all flock to take it from him.
Even the Sky Gods up above, along with the great and mighty Angels, would not hesitate to seize it from him if they were ever to see the Saint Nectar of Hell.
Chapter 1379: Soul of a Saint
Qingfeng Li drew the Black-White Millstone back into his mind. At the same time, the Fire Dragon Soul returned to his mind as well. Dark Night Emperor likewise returned to his long sword.
The Fire Dragon and Dark Night Emperor were renowned, peerless masters from the ancient era. But now, all that remained of them were their souls, which took refuge with Qingfeng Li.
Taking the Saint Nectar of Hell from the desk, Qingfeng Li left the room and headed toward the room where Ruyan Liu was staying.
Bam!
Qingfeng Li pushed open the door to the room and strode in.
“Qingfeng,” said Ruyan Liu. Her face lit up with joy and excitement as she saw him walk in. “You’re back. Is the fruit ready?”
Qingfeng Li gave her a smile. “I’ve succeeded in refining it,” he said, pointing at the black liquid in the bowl he was holding. “This is the Saint Nectar of Hell.”
“Qingfeng, then hurry up and give the Nectar to the baby,” Ruyan Liu said excitedly. “Then we can destroy the Saint’s Soul in her mind and she’ll wake up.”
Qingfeng Li nodded. Not wasting anymore time, he hurried to the baby’s side.
The baby slept in her cradle. Her cheeks, once a rosy red, were now blackened. This was a result of being occupied by the Saint’s Soul.
The baby’s entire body was surrounded by devilish energy. Her mind was foggy, and her feeble spirit energy was locked in combat with the Saint’s Soul.
It was fortunate that Qingfeng Li was a Destined One, someone who could become a Sky Emperor, and that Ruyan Liu was of an Immortal’s bloodline. Only then could their child, born of an Immortal’s bloodline, have remained safe. The Saint’s Soul had been unable to consume the infant.
Of course, given enough time, the Saint’s Soul would still be able to consume the baby’s soul.
Looking at the baby, a hint of heartache appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes.
“Apple Blossom,” he said. “Wait for Daddy. Daddy’s going to help you wake up now.”
Qingfeng Li reached out with his right hand and opened the baby’s tiny mouth. He brought the bowl to her lips and slowly poured in the Saint Nectar of Hell.
The baby, being unconscious, was unable to swallow the liquid on her own. Qingfeng Li massaged her mouth and throat, forcing the liquid in.
Immediately after the Saint Nectar of Hell entered the body of the baby, it released a powerful wave of black energy in the form of tadpole-shaped Heavenly Dao talisman scripts, which held the power of absolute destruction.
The black talisman scripts entered the mind of the infant, beginning to break down the Saint’s Soul therein.
The Saint’s Soul within the baby had once belonged to a Devilish Saint. It took the form of an emaciated man in a long black robe. Long sharp nails grew from the Devilish Saint’s hands. His eyes were beady, giving him a vicious appearance.
The Saint’s Soul, surrounded in a cloud of black light-energy, was in the process of devouring a golden ball of light before it.
Within the golden ball of light, there was a child. The child was tiny, like a newborn infant. This was no doubt the Spirit Light-Sphere belonging to the baby.
The Spirit Light-Sphere was curled into a ball, trying to dodge away from the attacks of the Saint’s Soul. But she was far too weak. Having already taken several blows from the Saint’s Soul, her fading spirit energy was on the brink of destruction.
Just as the baby was met with the greatest danger, the Saint Nectar of Hell rushed into her body. Morphing into a series of Heavenly Dao talisman scripts, the little black tadpole-like energy combined to form a massive word, spelling “Perish” as it charged at the Saint’s Soul.
Seeing the giant word, the Saint’s Soul sensed the Heavenly Dao talisman scripts of absolute destruction contained within. His face shifted to a look of fright.
The Saint’s Soul turned, trying to flee, but found that his body was pinned in place. There was no escape for him.
It was the black talisman scripts radiating from the Saint Nectar of Hell that had pinned him in place.
These talisman scripts were of the Heavenly Dao of Destruction, they held the power to destroy anything in the world. Used on a Saint’s Soul, it was extremely effective in eradicating it completely.
Countless black tadpole-like runes flowed into the body of the Saint’s Soul. They carried with them the memories of the ancient past, having flowed along with the sands of time since the Primordial Ages. And now, they began to destroy the Saint’s Soul, wearing away his spirit energy.
The Saint’s Soul let out a shriek. True, he was once a Saint, and one from the Extraterrestrial Planets at that, but he was powerless before the Saint Nectar of Hell.
“I beg of you,” the Saint’s Soul sent out a Spirit wave to Qingfeng Li. “Please, let me go.” He didn’t want to die, didn’t want to be destroyed here.
With his level of spirit energy, Qingfeng Li naturally heard the Saint’s soul pleading for its life. “Bastard,” he sneered. “you actually tried to kill my daughter’s soul. There won’t even be a speck of dust left once I’m done with you.”
Qingfeng Li continued to control the Saint Nectar of Hell, compelling it to emit more of the all-destructive force in the form of the Heavenly Dao of Destruction talisman scripts, eroding away the Spirit energy of the Saint’s Soul.
The Saint’s Soul was dissolving at a visible rate. His feet and legs were completely gone, reduced to dust. If this continued, there really would be nothing left of him, not even a shred of his soul would survive.
By the end, there was no way the Saint’s Soul would even be able to reincarnate.
“Qingfeng Li, don’t force my hand,” staring at the space where his legs and feet had been, the Saint’s Soul threatened. “You better let me go, or I swear I will ignite my own soul and cause it to explode in your daughter’s mind. If worst comes to worst, I’ll take her with me.”
At this, Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. He knew that, if the Saint’s soul were to ignite his own spirit energy and blow up, he would of course die himself. But at the same time, the baby’s mind-space would be blown apart as well.
Qingeng Li transmitted a message to Dark Night Emperor. “Senior, what do I do? This bastard is going to detonate his own soul.”
Dark Night Emperor paused a moment, thought for a second and then answered, “Qingfeng Li, use your Black-White Millstone,” his voice was cold. “Use the power of the Chaos to suppress him. You can render him unable to self-detonate and eradicate him completely.”
Nodding, Qingfeng Li mobilized the Spirit energy in his mind-space, trying to call out the Black-White Millstone. But it did not appear.
Overwrought with worry, QIngfeng Li wondered what was wrong with the Black-White Millstone. Why was it dropping the ball at this juncture? Why wasn’t it appearing?
At his wits end, Qingfeng Li hurriedly implored of the Fire Dragon Soul. “Senior Fire Dragon, you can communicate with the Black-White Millstone. Quickly, tell it to help me suppress the Saint’s Soul.”
The Fire Dragon Soul nodded, releasing the power of the Origins of Heaven and Earth. This was a Spirit wave of ancient power that was capable of communcating with the Black-White Millstone.
A moment later, the Fire Dragon replied to Qingfeng Li, “Just now, I spoke with the Black-White Millstone. It told me that if it were to help you suppress the Saint’s Soul, it would exhaust half of its Spirit energy. The Saint’s Soul is too powerful, after all, and the Millstone would be harmed in the process. It’s a bad deal for the Millstone.”
Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. “Senior Fire Dragon,” he said. “Please tell the Black-White Millstone, if it helps me suppress the Saint’s Soul from self-detonating, as long as we save the baby, I can agree to any terms the Black-White Millstone names.”
Chapter 1380: Waking Up the Baby
Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the Fire Dragon Soul nodded. Once again, it used its spirit energy to communicate with the Black-White Millstone.
The Fire Dragon Soul was once a Dragon God from the ancient era. As one of the First Dragons, he could speak the Ancient Tongue and communicate with Chaos Treasures.
In the beginning, the Black-White Millstone was unwilling to accept Qingfeng Li’s request. The Saint’s Soul in the baby’s mind-space was far too powerful.
The Black-White Millstone had just awakened, and its power was limited. Once it makes the move to suppress the Saint’s Soul, it will exhaust a lot of its own spirit energy.
The Fire Dragon Soul told the Black-White Millstone, however, that Qingfeng Li was the Destined Person and could become a Sky Emperor in the future. When that happened, Qingfeng Li would be able to provide the Black-White Millstone with more treasures to help it recover and strengthen its spirit energy. There would even be the possibility that it would be able to evolve into an even higher level.
Finally, the Black-White Millstone nodded its metaphoric head in agreement. After all, it reasoned, its fate was bound to that of Qingfeng Li. If it really angered Qingfeng Li and was cast aside, it would be extremely difficult for it to find another powerful self-cultivator in the future.
“Senior Fire Dragon,” Qingfeng Li asked. His brows were furrowed and there was a hint of distress in his voice as he asked. “Did the Black-White Millstone agree to my request?”
The Fire Dragon Soul smiled. “Little brat,” he said. “It just accepted your deal. It will exhaust its own spirit energy in order to help you defeat the Saint’s Soul.”
Relieved elation appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He was aware of the immense power the Black-White Millstone possessed, as a product of Chaos. With its help, killing the soul of a Saint would be a cakewalk.
Within the mind-space of the baby, the Saint Nectar of Hell continued to radiate black Heavenly Dao talisman scripts. The black energy wore away the body of the Saint’s Soul. By now, his abdomen had been completely dissolved and vanished into nothingness.
“Human,” the Saint’s Soul clenched his teeth, a vicious light in his eyes. “Since you won’t leave me be, I’ll ignite my Saint Level spirit energy. Your daughter will die with me.”
By now, the Saint’s Soul understood that Qingfeng Li wasn’t going to let him live. He wanted the Saint’s Soul gone for good.
If that’s the case, then they will die together. He’ll let this Qingfeng Li know that a Saint was not to be trifled with.
Chanting an incantation, the Saint’s Soul prepared to ignite himself. Upon his head, there appeared a pitch black flare of devilish energy. His was about to self-detonate.
Just then, the Black-White Millstone emerged from Qingfeng Li. Entering the baby’s mind-space, it let out its black and white rays of light.
The black ray was an inky black. It was the darkness of the night itself, boundless and unfathomable, drawing in those who saw it and making them forget all else.
The white ray shone like a celestial being. It danced across the skies with like a rising star, encompassing the power of light.
It was as though the two rays, one black and one white, were the force that had cleaved apart heaven and earth from the Chaos, giving light to the world. They shone upon the Saint’s Soul, pinning him in place and preventing him from moving any further.
“The Chaos Millstone!” The Saint’s Soul shrieked. “It can’t be. This is the legendary Great Treasure of Heaven and Earth, the Chaos Millstone.” There was shock and terror on his face, as though he was witnessing the most terrifying thing in the world.
True, Saints were powerful, but even they had things they feared. Take, for example, the Immortals, the Great Higher Heaven Treasures, the Time River, the power of time and space, and various all-powerful Dharma Treasures.
Even in the Ancient Continents, the Chaos Millstone had been among the strongest treasures. It did not belong to Earth but came from the depth of the universe. Where it’s from, there was no light, no darkness, nothing but Chaos. Born within that Chaos, it had swept away all of existence and was well-known all across the Universe.
In the ancient era, the Chaos Millstone had appeared once and slain a Sky Emperor from an extraterrestrial planet. Its power had been clear to see.
But it was also that one time that the Chaos Millstone had been mortally wounded. Having been maimed, it disappeared. After all, Sky Emperors were the most powerful entities in the Universe. The fact that the Chaos Millstone had been able to slay the Sky Emperor was evidence of its vicious power.
The Black-White Millstone having suppressed the Saint’s Soul, the black talisman scripts emerging from the Saint Nectar of Hell continued to devour his body. In the end, the entire soul was consumed, reduced to dust and cast to the winds. Just as Qingfeng Li had said, nothing at all remained of him.
As it had just exhausted more than half of its spirit energy in order to suppress the Saint’s Soul, the Black-White Millstone hovered weakly, its surface dull and lightless.
Morphing into a beam of light, the Black-White Millstone entered the depths of Qingfeng Li’s mind-space. It rested there, recuperating.
Watching the Black-White Millstone enter his mind-space, Qingfeng Li voiced a silent “thank you” and withdrew his own spirit energy from the mind-space of the baby.
At this moment, the black that had clouded the baby’s face and body had all disappeared. The devilish energy had, too, vanished. Her skin returned to its original color, only slightly pale due to overexertion of her vital essence.
Mobilizing his own vital essence, Qingfeng Li transfused his own energy into the baby’s body.
Of course, he couldn’t transfuse too much at first, giving only a little at a time. The energy trickled into the baby’s body drop by drop, slowly rejuvenating her meridians, skin and flesh, tendon and bone, blood and vital organs, and, finally, her soul.
Gradually, the baby’s cheeks became rosy, her skin regained its natural glow. She was such a pretty baby, all soft and peachy, her face looked like an adorable apple.
Despite her color returning, the baby’s eyes remained closed. Her body had yet to fully recover or regain consciousness.
Ruyan Liu’s eyes shone with worry. “Qingfeng,” she said. “Why is the baby not waking up? What’s happening?”
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brow. After studying the baby for another moment, he opened his mouth. “I’ve killed the Saint’s Soul in her mind-space, and her spirit energy has been replenished as well. She should be waking up… Perhaps we need to summon her with something?”
“I know,” Jiaojiao Liu chimed in beside them. “The baby loves hearing nursery rhymes. Sing one for her. She’ll wake up for sure when she hears you.”
Qingfeng Li nodded. “Twinkle, twinkle, little star,” he began singing. “How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky…”
Qingfeng Li had a pleasant singing voice, with a slight raspiness. Hearing his voice, the baby’s finger twitched. Then her lashes quivered, and her nose wiggled.
“Ah, ah, star, star,” the baby opened her eyes. Her little mouth mumbled out unintelligible sounds along with the occasional “star.” She made an absolutely adorable sight.
The baby was indeed pretty, with her slightly extended canines and two little dimples.
Tears spilled from Ruyan Liu’s eyes as she threw herself at the baby and picked her up. “Baby,” she said. “You’re finally awake. Mommy’s been so worried. Let Mommy hug you.”
Reaching out its own delicate little hand, the baby touched a strand of Ruyan Liu’s hair and let out a string of delightful giggles.
Chapter 1381: The Baby Called Daddy
Ruyan Liu used her fingers to tease the baby, making her laugh.
The baby really liked to smile, revealing the two dimples on her cheeks. She was cute, charming, and pretty when she smiled.
She had four canine teeth in her mouth. They were white, thin, and long, accentuating her cuteness.
“Mommy!” The baby opened her mouth and called for her mommy.
Even though her voice was muffled and she was not pronouncing the word clearly, it made Ruyan Liu very happy. Her charming face filled with excitement, her long lashes fluttering.
“Qingfeng, did you hear that? The baby called me mommy,” she excitedly said to Qingfeng Li.
Her voice was filled with excitement, happiness, and other complicated emotions.
As a woman, Ruyan Liu’s biggest wish was for her baby to call her mom. Now that her wish was fulfilled, she could not be happier.
“Baby, call me mommy again,” Ruyan excitedly said as she looked at the baby.
The baby opened her mouth and called, “Mommy, mommy, mommy…”
At first, her pronunciation was incorrect, but it became clearer as she repeated the word more.
Qingfeng Li was a little jealous of Ruyan Liu. He was the baby’s father but the baby would not call him daddy. She only said mommy.
Qingfeng Li walked beside the baby and booped her nose. He said, “Baby, say daddy.”
The baby had huge eyes that looked like two black pearls, deep like the brightest night sky and the depths of the blue ocean. They were indescribably beautiful and impossible to draw one’s gaze away from.
The baby blinked her big bright eyes. She was cute and derpy at the same time.
Her eyelashes fluttered as doubt filled her eyes. She looked at Qingfeng Li with doubt as she did not know who the man was. She questioned why he booped her nose and asked her to call him daddy.
The baby blinked again and looked at Qingfeng Li with a bit of anger.
She thought, “Hmmm, how dare you boop me! I am angry and don’t want to pay attention to you.”
She then turned her head so she didn’t have to look at Qingfeng Li.
Hahaha!
Upon seeing the scene unfold, Jiaojiao Liu laughed happily.
“Brother in law, did you see that? The baby doesn’t like you! You made her angry!” Jiaojiao Liu held her stomach as she continued to laugh.
Qingfeng Li rolled her eyes and said, “Jiaojiao, how dare you laugh at me like that, I treated you so well before.”
Jiaojiao Liu frowned and said, “Hmm, Brother in law, you don’t treat me well at all. You don’t take me shopping or give me money.”
Qingfeng Li had no words and depressingly said, “Jiaojiao, how old are you? You want me to take you shopping?”
Black Puppy frowned and comically said, “Qingfeng Li, I would never would have thought that your daughter would disrespect you and wouldn’t talk to you. Look at yourself, you have a bad character.”
Qingfeng Li did not dare to hit Jiaojiao Liu, but he could hit Black Puppy.
Qingfeng Li had a lot of pent up anger. The baby would not pay attention to him and made him unhappy. He extended his right hand and slapped Black Puppy’s head. It bruised and swelled, making the puppy look ridiculous.
Sky-Devouring Snake wagged its tail and could not stop laughing.
“Keep on laughing, and I just might hit you too,” Qingfeng Li extended his palm and said to Sky-Devouring Snake.
It covered its mouth right away, not daring to laugh anymore.
“Ruyan, why won’t the baby pay attention to me? It hurts my feelings,” Qingfeng Li asked Ruyan Liu with concern.
She laughed and said, “It’s been so long since the baby last saw you. She probably feels estranged towards you. If you sing her a song, she will definitely remember you.”
Qingfeng Li asked, “What should I sing? I just sung Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars.”
Ruyan thought for a second and said, “Her favorite song is Little Apple. Sing Little Apple by Chopsticks Brothers.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and said, “I’ll sing that then.”
“I planted a seed that finally bore fruit, today is a great day, I give the stars to you…
You are my little apple, I can never love you too much, your red face warms my heart, lighting the fire, fire, fire, fire, fire in my life…” Qingfeng Li emotionally sung Little Apple.
Seeing Qingfeng Li singing Little Apple, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake covered their mouths and quietly laughed.
One had to remember that Qingfeng Li was a half step into the Spirit Emperor Realm. He was incredibly famous in the world of self-cultivation and even Spirit Emperors had been killed by him before.
But now, the strong Qingfeng Li was singing a children’s song. No matter how you looked at it, the scene was hilarious.
Qingfeng Li shot an angry glare at the two and killed their laughter, before he continued singing.
The baby heard Qingfeng Li’s song and suddenly remembered a lot.
Even though her brain was small and she was young, she had excellent memory, especially towards lyrics. She remembered that a man used to sing her this song, and that he was her father.
“You are my little apple, I can never love you too much, fire, fire, fire, fire.” The baby started singing as well, waving her hands. Her dance moves were cute and pretty.
As Qingfeng Li sung, he started dancing. He walked besides the baby and said, “Baby, remember me? I am you daddy. This is your favorite song, right? Do you like Daddy’s singing?”
“Like it.” The baby said two words. Even though her voice was not clear, it was still audible.
Happiness appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes and he said, “Baby, if you want me to sing it to you from now on, call me Daddy.”
“Daddy,” The baby mumbled and called Qingfeng Li daddy.
Hearing his baby call him daddy made Qingfeng Li extremely happy. He looked like a poor boy who just got a piece of candy, or a thirsty man who found a bottle of water. Qingfeng Li danced like a child.
To Qingfeng Li, hearing the baby call him daddy was his happiest moment.
Chapter 1382: Fengwu Cao’s Call
“My baby called me daddy, she called me daddy, she called me daddy…” Qingfeng Li happily murmured to himself.
Jiaojiao Liu facepalmed and said, “Brother in law, look how happy you are! She only called you daddy, that’s all.”
He glared at Jiaojiao Liu and said, “What do you know about it, you are just a kid! Go play with dirt somewhere else.”
After Qingfeng Li said that, he ignored her, and walked towards the baby and picked her up.
“Baby, daddy’s going to keep singing to you. You’re my little apple, I can never love you too much…” Qingfeng Li sung, making the baby happy. She waved her arms and legs and called him daddy.
As Qingfeng Li was singing, his phone rung. It was a phone that he recently got. Since he returned to Eastern Sea city, he needed a phone, so it would be easier for him to contact others.
Qingfeng Li took out his phone and discovered that the call was from Fengwu Cao.
“Ms. Cao, what’s the matter?” Qingfeng Li answered the call.
Fengwu Cao anxiously said, “Qingfeng Li, recently the Eastern world of self cultivation has been in chaos. Tens of thousands of self-cultivators from the West have arrived to kill our Eastern self-cultivators. They robbed us of our techniques, vitality stones, spiritual treasures, and much more. Many Eastern self-cultivators had been slaughtered and the Eastern World of Self Cultivation in in danger. We need a leader.”
Upon hearing Fengwu Cao, Qingfeng Li asked, “A leader? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Can you elaborate?”
Fengwu Cao said through the phone, “Qingfeng Li, our World of Self Cultivation is going to choose a Chief for the alliance. Like the Master of a martial alliance in the ancient times, the chief will be in command of every self-cultivator in Huaxia and lead them.”
Qingfeng Li frowned and said, “The Chief of the World of Self Cultivation? What does that have to do with me?”
She explained, “Qingfeng Li, I hope that you can attend the meeting and become the Chief. You can help the East defeat the West.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and said, “Ms. Cao, where is it located and when is it? I will attend.”
Fengwu Cao said, “It is located in Tianjing city in three days. It takes place at 9 in the morning.”
“Miss Cao, I will be there then.” Qingfeng Li hung up.
Ruyan Liu looked at Qingfeng Li and said, “Qingfeng, can’t you stay with me and the baby for a bit longer?”
Qingfeng Li looked apologetic, as he said, “I can only stay for a few days. But in three days, I must attend Huaxia’s convention for self-cultivators.”
Qingfeng Li knew that Huaxia’s world of self cultivation was chaotic. Countless self-cultivators were being slaughtered everywhere and their techniques were being stolen. It was a massacre, and the Western self-cultivators were the executioners. They’ve committed every crime imaginable, acting literally like demons.
As a member of Huaxia’s world of self-cultivation, Qingfeng Li had the duty to protect his friends and relatives from harm.
Even for those who he didn’t know, he had a duty too, because they were all from Huaxia and had the same ancestors and common enemies.
Qingfeng Li stayed with Ruyan Liu and her baby for a whole day. When it was ten past eight at night, Qingfeng Li took Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake back to the Green International Hotel.
Noble Palace’s Villa number 13 was already destroyed and they could not stay there. The mansion could not be fixed in a short period of time, so Xue Lin and the others moved into the Green International Hotel.
Black Puppy followed Qingfeng Li. Wagging his tail, he excitedly said, “We’re almost gonna see Xue Lin! I am so happy, I want to eat her tomato egg noodles.”
Sky-Devouring Snake whipped the puppy with its tail and said, “The tomato egg noodles don’t taste good. I wanna eat pan-fried minced meat noodles.”
The two godly beasts fought over a bowl of noodles.
In the ancient era, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were both godly beasts. They roamed through earth and frightened the universe. They usually ate heavenly materials and earthly treasures, peaches, spirit fruits, and immortal herbs.
But the two godly beasts had never tasted human food. After tasting Xue Lin’s noodles, the two animals fell in love with it.
Qingfeng Li had no words. He ate a lot of noodles as well and did not find them particularly delicious. Of course, if Xue Lin made it, it would be another matter. Whatever his wife made was delicious.
“Big Brother Li, I finally get to meet you again! I am overwhelmed with joy!” Tianci Zhang was pacing outside the hotel. Once he saw Qingfeng Li, he happily called to him.
“Young Master Zhang, you got fat.” Qingfeng Li looked at Young Master Zhang’s bloated stomach and said. He remembered clearly that Young Master Zhang used to be thin and handsome. He used to have an eight-pack and had solid muscle lines. He used to look like a mermaid, but now he turned into a whale.
Young Master Zhang laughed awkwardly and rubbed his head. He said, “Big Brother Li, you don’t know how many business dinners I have to attend. I drink everyday, and the stuff I drink are usually top-tier. Of course I will get fat and bloated.”
Qingfeng Li laughed. Of course he knew why Zhang Tianci got fat. Young Master Zhang was now the CEO of the Zhang Corporation and dominated Eastern Sea City’s market. His net worth was tens of billions, as he controlled everything in the Zhang Family. Because of Qingfeng Li, Young Master Zhang was able to do business in Eastern Sea City and expand it into the Hujiang province, and even the entirety of Huaxia.
Qingfeng Li was the boss behind the curtains of the Li family. The sect master of the Li family, Meier Li was Qingfeng Li’s cousin and obeyed Qingfeng Li’s every command. To be frank, she was Qingfeng Li’s puppet.
If Qingfeng Li wanted her to go anywhere, she would obey. Even if he wanted her to commit suicide by jumping off a building, she would do it without hesitation.
Qingfeng Li’s net worth was in the trillions. He was the richest person in Huaxia, but he was lowkey and well hidden. Many people do not know that he was the number one richest person.
The names on the rich list cannot even compare to Qingfeng Li. Their wealth was barely scratching the surface in comparison to him, and he could kill their career with a snap of fingers.
Qingfeng Li was the real giant of Huaxia’s rich list, but he did not want to show off.
“Young Master, drink less and go to less business meetings. You should exercise more. Those who want you to drink are kissing your ass because you are rich. If your body fails, your relationship with them won’t even matter,” Qingfeng Li frowned and said to Tianci Zhang.
Chapter 1383: They Won’t Let the Puppy In
There was a saying that a poor man in a crowded city will have no visitors, while a rich man in the remote mountains would be called on by distant relatives. A while ago when Tianci Zhang was deemed as unimportant in the Zhang family, many people looked down on him and would not drink with him.
But after Tianci Zhang became the CEO of the Zhang family and gained control over tens of billions of yuan in funds, those people started to bribe him, praise him, and drink with him. Those people were only drinking buddies and would not benefit him in the long term.
Although drinking could pleasure a person briefly, it would harm one in the long run.
Qingfeng Li could see that was the reason for Young Master Zhang’s fat body. Because of eating too much fat lately, Young Master Zhang’s face was pale and weak, his stomach was perked up, and his eyes were dim.
“Big Brother Li, your criticism is correct. I’ve been too high profile lately, but from now on, I will listen to you,” said Tianci Zhang appreciatively as he bowed to Qingfeng Li.
There was a saying that good medicine was bitter to one’s tongue but benefits their sickness, and good advice was harsh to one’s ear but was good for one’s actions. If anyone else had said this to Tianci Zhang, he would have slapped them immediately. He had been dazed lately and would not accept anyone’s opinions.
But Qingfeng Li was different from the others. When Tianci Zhang was mortally ill and disrespected by his entire family, it was Qingfeng Li who cured him and helped him become the CEO of the Zhang Family, allowing him to have a net worth of tens of billions.
Qingfeng Li basically revived Tianci Zhang, and that was why he would listen to Qingfeng Li, because he knows that Qingfeng Li would not harm him.
“Tianci Zhang, you are morbidly obese right now. If you keep drinking, you’ll get liver cancer. When you die, you won’t even know how you died,” strictly, Qingfeng Li said to Tianci Zhang.
Qingfeng Li did not want to lecture others, because their lives don’t matter to him. But Tianci Zhang was different. They met in Eastern Sea City and had been through a lot together. Furthermore, Tianci Zhang was his younger brother and calls him ‘Big Brother’. That was why Qingfeng Li had told him what his illness was.
Tianci Zhang’s face changed as he said, “Big Brother Li, my fatty liver illness is very severe, and hospitals can’t cure it. You must help me!”
Qingfeng Li smiled and said, “No problem, I will give you an acupuncture soon to disperse the extra fat in your body and make you healthy again.”
Upon hearing Qingfeng Li, Tianci Zhang was excited, because he knew that Qingfeng Li was a god-like doctor who had cured him before. His illness now was no big deal to brother Feng.
In front of the Green International hotel was four beauties. They all were wearing Qipao and had long, flowing hair. Their faces were blushed and covered in makeup, and their mouths had red lipstick on. They were the hostesses at the hotel.
“Welcome, Mr. President.” The four beauties bowed to Tianci Zhang.
Tianci Zhang pointed at Qingfeng Li and said, “Look, that’s my Big Brother Li. He’s my senior and from now on, whenever he come to the hotel, all the services will be free for him. He is the highest priority guest, and even if it was Jesus’ second coming, Big Brother Li comes first.”
Upon hearing Tianci Zhang’s words, the four hostesses were all shocked.
They knew that the CEO was the richest person in Eastern Sea City and had tens of billions of funds, and he probably secretly controls hundred of billions. He had companies, factories, corporations, and firms throughout the country. But they questioned why he was so respectful towards a young man in his twenties.
Tianci Zhang did not pay attention to their looks and walked into the hotel with Qingfeng Li and the others.
Qingfeng Li smiled and said, “Young Master Zhang, you own the hotel now.”
Tianci Zhang nodded and said, “I’ve already bought the hotel and renovated it. It’s the most luxurious hotel in the city now.”
Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake followed Qingfeng Li and walked in. Once Black Puppy saw the luxurious hotel, it barked twice.
Its bark was loud and seemed out of place in the hotel’s lobby. Some people’s gazes were drawn towards it.
“Why would the Green International Hotel, a seven-star luxury hotel, let a dog in?”
“Right, this hotel we are staying at is the most luxurious in the city that only the rich can stay in. Why would they let an ugly black dog in? We can’t let it in.”
“Right, it’s displeasing me. What’s wrong with the hotel?”
Everyone in the hotel lobby discussed amongst themselves and pointed at Black Puppy, criticizing it.
Hearing the crowd’s criticism, Black Puppy looked angry, it thought, “Damn these peasants, how dare they call me ugly and black? I am clearly extremely handsome.”
Thinking back, in the ancient era, Black Puppy was extremely handsome. He charmed tens of thousands of young women. Countless beauties wanted to be its wife or even mistress, but they were all rejected by Black Puppy.
Black Puppy had its own pride and dreams, wanting to be the strongest in the universe. Its dreams were not something that peasant woman, or even humans could understand. They were calling him ugly now, but even if they wanted to be the puppy’s servants, it would not agree.
Upon hearing their discussions, the manager of the hotel walked in.
It was a beautiful woman in her thirties. She had long flowing hair and a charming face, her body was thin and curvy, and she was wearing black stilettos; her appearance was well put together and elegant. She was the manager of the hotel.
She glared at the four hostesses at the door and said, “Haven’t I told you before that dogs aren’t allowed in? Why would you let it in then?”
The four beautiful hostesses’ faces changed upon hearing the woman, as she was their boss and the woman that controlled everything in the hotel.
They remembered that it was Tianci Zhang, the hotel’s CEO who the dog had followed in. They did not dare to speak.
“Are you mute? Who let the black dog in? Throw it out immediately,” the beautiful manager angrily said to the four hostesses.
One must remember that whenever the manager talked, the hostesses would happily answer.
But now, the four hostesses were too afraid to agree with the manager. The manager felt that her superiority was being challenged by mere hostesses.
“Don’t trouble the hostesses, I am the one who let the dog in. What do you have to say about it?” Tianci Zhang frowned as he said to the manager.
Chapter 1384: Apologizing to Black Puppy
The pretty manager turned around and saw Tianci Zhang was the person who had just spoken, and her face changed.
She had been focused on lecturing Black Puppy and the four hostesses, and she had not paid any attention to Tianci Zhang. Now that she had seen him, she was surprised.
She ran towards Tianci Zhang and bowed. She respectfully said, “President, why are you here? You didn’t give me a heads up so I could personally welcome you.”
Tianci Zhang smiled but frowned. He said, “I don’t need you to greet me, but I heard that you won’t let the black puppy in.”
The pretty manager’s face changed but she nodded anyways. She said, “Yes, the hotel has regulations that says that animals are not allowed.”
Tianci Zhang’s face became cold as he said, “What kind of manager are you? Do you want to get fired? Black Puppy is my Big Brother Li’s dog, and whoever he wants to bring in is allowed. Even if Big Brother Li wanted the hotel, I would give it to him. Do you think I care about a dog?”
Upon hearing Tianci Zhang, the pretty manager’s face changed. Her body trembled a bit. She would never have thought that Black Puppy and the young man behind her boss had such strong backgrounds. He could make Eastern Sea City’s number one CEO call him older brother with such respect!
The pretty manager guessed by the looks of things that even if the young man had slapped the CEO, he would not slap back.
“President, I am so sorry. Everything is my fault, I will let Black Puppy in.” The pretty manager bowed with an apologetic look on her face.
The hotel was the most luxurious in the city. As its manager, she had the highest pay and benefits. She did not want to get fired because of the puppy.
Tianci Zhang smiled and pointed at Qingfeng Li. He said, “Apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness. Otherwise, you are out of here.”
To Tianci Zhang, the most important person was Qingfeng Li. A mere manager could be replaced, but if she had displeased Qingfeng Li, it would be bad.
The pretty manager walked in front of Qingfeng Li and said, “Sorry, what I did just then was wrong.”
Qingfeng Li smiled and pointed at the black dog. He said, “Apologize to it, and if it forgives you, there won’t be any problems. Otherwise, get out of here.”
Upon hearing Qingfeng Li, the pretty manager’s face changed. The young man had asked her to apologize to a dog, it was outrageous.
She was a beauty and the hotel’s manager who was respected by many. Why would she apologize to a dog?
Qingfeng Li was not bullying the woman either, but it was her words that had insulted Black Puppy. She had called it black and ugly.
In Qingfeng Li’s heart, Black Puppy was his friend who had helped him many times before. Now that his friend was insulted, he needed to get his friend’s reputation back.
Tianci Zhang saw the pretty manager’s facial expression and coldly said, “If you don’t want to apologize to the dog, leave the hotel, and don’t come to work anymore.”
The pretty manager’s face changed as fear shot through her eyes. She did not want to leave, and she saw that the dog was important in both the hearts of the youth and Tianci Zhang. She could never compare to the dog.
“Puppy, I am sorry. I shouldn’t have called you black and ugly. You are actually very cute and I really like you.” the pretty manager walked in front of Black Puppy and complimented it after apologizing to it.
The woman was smart. Having the ability to climb to the manager position, she clearly had her own skills. The CEO clearly viewed the dog as important, and if she had a good relationship with it, she may be able to get a promotion.
Black Puppy nodded, signifying its acceptance of its apology. It did not want to forgive the woman, so it walked beside it and kissed her.
The pretty manager was stunned and confused. She would never have thought that a dog would take advantage of her.
The four hostesses were stunned as well, as if they had seen something impossible. It was more surprising than seeing shooting stars.
Qingfeng Li was speechless as he rolled his eyes. He would never have thought that Black Puppy was so dirty that it would take advantage of the manager.
Qingfeng Li was a little embarrassed since Black Puppy was his friend, and he would never have thought that it would do something like this. It made him lose some of his dignity.
Sky-Devouring Snake shook his tail and said, “Shameless, shameless, shameless. You really are shameless to take advantage of a beautiful woman.”
Black Puppy was not embarrassed at all. It wagged its tail and walked beside Qingfeng Li.
“Let’s go in the hotel, Xue Lin is still waiting for us.” Qingfeng Li waved and quickly exited the lobby with the others.
The four hostesses reacted and giggled at Black Puppy’s kiss.
The pretty manager’s expression changed as she angrily looked at them. She said, “What are you laughing about? Laugh some more and I will fire you.”
After saying that, she turned to leave.
In the hotel’s number one VIP lounge, Xue Lin, Ziyi Miao, and Sky Fate Demon King were all waiting for Qingfeng Li.
When he opened the door, Qingfeng Li saw that they were all sitting.
“Dear, you are finally back. Is everything good?” Xue Lin stood up and concernly asked Qingfeng Li.
Xue Lin knew that it was chaotic in Huaxia’s World of self cultivation because of the West’s attacks. The attacks were brutal, so she was extremely worried about Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, I am fine.”
Tianci Zhang said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry and just stay in the hotel. I have people repairing the mansion. It will be finished soon.”
Black Puppy opened its mouth and barked.
Qingfeng Li knew what was up once he saw its expression. The little guy was hungry, and he was as well.
“Tianci Zhang, go prepare some food,” Qingfeng Li said.
Tianci Zhang nodded and said, “Yes, I will go now.”
Tianci Zhang was the CEO of the hotel, and under his supervision, the preparation of a feast was done quickly. Tens of plates came out quickly. There were sea cucumbers, shark fins, abalones, American shrimps, fish, bear paws, and more. They were all famous international dishes.
Qingfeng Li knew that the meal must have costed at least five hundred thousand yuan, or even more. Tianci Zhang really went out of his way.
Of course, the food was delicious and had high nutritional value, greatly boosting one’s health and energy levels.
Chapter 1385: Curing Young Master Zhang
The meal that Young Master Zhang prepared was lavish and was able to satisfy Qingfeng. Soon, the group cleared the table with no leftovers.
When they were eating, a crate of thirty-year-old Maotai was carried in. They were very expensive and cost at least two hundred thousand yuan per bottle, though even if one had money, securing one bottle was not certain.
Young Master Zhang got the crate of wine through special connections, but there was not much left. To celebrate Qingfeng Li’s return, he emptied his collection.
Qingfeng Li took a sip and thought it tasted good. Black Puppy and the Sky-Devouring Snake wanted to drink it as well. They were originally godly beasts during the ancient era, but since entering human society, they began enjoying human food and wine.
Black Puppy drank two bottles of wine and began walking unsteadily since it was drunk. It looked very ridiculous.
Of course, Sky-Devouring Snake did not hold back on drinking as well. It drank two bottles and tumbled.
After they were full and drunk, Qingfeng Li said to Young Master Zhang, “Let’s go and find a room. I’ll perform acupuncture for you.”
Young Master Zhang led Qingfeng Li to a private room. Qingfeng Li asked Young Master Zhang to sit on a chair as he took out his nine needles. They were all made of silver and were tools that he used to cure others.
Qingfeng Li found nine acupuncture points on Young Master Zhang’s body, focused primarily around his feet, including the Guanyuan point, Shenting, and others. Qingfeng Li held the needle with his right thumb and pointer finger and stabbed them into the nine points.
After, Qingfeng Li used his vital essence and passed it through the needle into Tianci Zhang’s body.
Tianci Zhang felt warm as his fat was burnt; the chilling aura was driven out as warmth flooded in.
Soon, Tianci Zhang was drenched in sweat. Sweat dripped from his forehead and dripped down his face, wetting his clothes. Not only so, but black substances were also driven out of his body as well.
Qingfeng Li smiled as he removed the nine silver needles. He said, “I’ve burnt off a lot of extra fat and got rid of the chill in your body. You should start to recover now.”
Upon hearing Qingfeng’s words, Tianci Zhang was very happy. He stood up and stretched, feeling much more comfortable and flexible now.
“Big Brother Li, thank you. My body is healthy again.” Tianci Zhang looked at Qingfeng Li with appreciation.
Tianci Zhang knew that he was ill and had let it go on for too long without treatment. Even when he went to the hospital, the doctors did not have a good method of curing him. He would never have thought that he would be instantly cured in the hands of Qingfeng Li.
“No wonder you are Huaxia’s number one doctor. Your skills are indeed godlike,” Tianci Zhang respectfully said.
Qingfeng Li lightly smiled and said, “Tianci Zhang, pay more attention to your body from now on. I have more things for you to do.”
Tianci Zhang slapped his chest and said, “Whatever you want, please tell me, and I will get it done for you.”
The first thing Qingfeng Li said was to fix the mansion as soon as possible, the second thing was to protect Xue Lin, and the third thing was for him to lay low.
After saying that, Qingfeng Li patted Tianci Zhang’s shoulder and left.
Qingfeng Li was fast. Soon after leaving the room, he arrived at another VIP suite. It was a room meant for couples, one that Tianci Zhang specifically arranged for Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin. At that moment, Xue Lin was inside the room waiting for him.
Xue Lin was beautiful, and her face was charming. Her skin was white, and her eyes were like stars in the sky, bright and sparkling. Her long lashes fluttered like two windows.
Her body was curvy and covered by a white silk nightgown. She sat in front of the vanity mirror as it showed her curves. One look hooked his eyes.
Lust appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes as he said, “Honey, you are becoming more and more beautiful lately.”
Her face blushed as she said, “Your mouth is becoming more and more sweet lately. How many women have you said that to?”
Qingfeng Li raised up his hands and said, “I swear to the Heavens and Earth that you are the only one I’ve said it to. You have to believe me!”
“Hahaha!”
Xue Lin laughed as she was bemused by Qingfeng Li’s actions. Her husband always had ways to make her laugh.
“Hmm, wife, do you want to practice self-cultivation? I will teach it to you.” Qingfeng Li opened his mouth and asked Xue Lin.
Qingfeng Li knew that the phoenix bloodline was awakened in his wife’s body. Although it was weak, Qingfeng Li had many techniques that she could practice.
Happiness appeared on Xue Lin’s face because she had always wanted to practice, but she did not know any techniques.
Although some of her memories from her previous life was awakened, it was still a small amount. The real superpowers, cultivation methods, the Phoenix technique, and spiritual treasures were all things she did not have.
Qingfeng Li was different from Xue Lin in that he had Dark Night Emperor and the soul of the Fire Dragon.
In the Ancient Era, the two were both immortals who possessed large amounts of self-cultivation knowledge that helped build Qingfeng Li’s foundation.
Qingfeng Li scrolled through the cultivation techniques in his mind as he wondered what to teach Xue Lin.
He had many techniques, and they were all strong. There was the Mortal Purgatory Body, Strangle Hell Fist, Heavenly Immortal Chant, Emperor’s Finger, the Golden Light Sword techniques, Fire Emperor Sword techniques, Fire Dragon Fist, Dragon’s Thousand Steps, and so on.
After thinking for a bit, Qingfeng Li thought teaching Xue Lin the Heavenly Immortal Chant was the best, since she was a woman and giving her body refinement techniques could damage her body.
He did not want Xue Lin’s body to be burnt, hit by lightning, and lacerated, like what he had gone through.
As for the Fire Dragon Fist, Golden Light Sword techniques, Fire Emperor Sword techniques, one must have a strong spirit to practice it, or control king level spiritual treasures. These things, Qingfeng Li could not give to Xue Lin because it was connected to his bloodline or was soul-bounded to him.
Qingfeng Li had another technique, which was the Golden Flames, but since it was in Qingfeng Li’s body, only he could use it.
It was like the black-white millstone in his head, it only obeyed Qingfeng Li and nobody else.
“Wife, I will teach you a strong immortal level technique, named the Heavenly Immortal Chant. Try practicing it,” Qingfeng Li said as he smiled.
Xue Lin nodded and said, “Sure, teach it to me.”
Chapter 1386: Teaching Cultivation Techniques to Xue Lin
“For the Heavenly Immortal Chant, you absorb spirit energy from the Heavens and Earth, turn it into your own vital essence, run it through your meridians, store it in your dantian…”
Qingfeng Li taught the Heavenly Immortal Chant to Xue Lin and let her practice.
Xue Lin was clever. Though she was an average person before, she had met lots of self-cultivators. She had awakened one ten-thousandth of her memory, so she comprehended the technique very quickly.
She quickly sat down crossing her legs and started to recite the Heavenly Immortal Chant.
Soon, a faint green light appeared in the air. It was spirit energy, which was more potent than vital essence. Only powerful techniques like the Heavenly Immortal Chant could draw it out. Standard cultivation techniques could only absorb the vital essence in the world, but not the spirit energy.
The gathered spirit energy entered Xue Lin’s body through her skin and pores as she cultivated.
Soon, she formed a green light in her meridians, guiding the spirit energy through her skin, pores, muscles, blood vessels, bones, and finally to her dantian.
Xue Lin wanted to turn this spirit energy into her energy and form the spirit nucleus by condensing it in her dantian, since it was the core of self-cultivators and the source of their energy.
But the next moment, Xue Lin was shocked because the spirit energy vanished after entering her dantian, without condensing into a spirit nucleus.
“What happened? Why can’t I form the spirit nucleus in my dantian?” Xue Lin said with surprise.
She couldn’t form the spirit nucleus in her body, and the spirit energy thnat she gathered started to dissipate, spreading out and finally vanishing.
Xue Lin stood up with a confused look on her pretty face. She said, “Honey, I can’t gather spirit energy and form a spirit nucleus.”
Hearing Xue Lin’s words, Qingfeng Li frowned. He reached out her hand and put his index and middle finger on Xue Lin’s wrist, taking her pulse.
Qingfeng Li listened carefully. He felt the pulse was normal like ordinary people, not containing spirit energy, and also did not sense a spirit nucleus.
“Honey, all of the spirit energy you absorbed is gone. Why can’t you store spirit energy inside your body?” Qingfeng Li frowned with confusion.
When Qingfeng practiced the Heavenly Immortal Chant, he had absorbed lots of spirit energy from the Heavens and Earth. That was why he increased his power and body strength so rapidly. Why didn’t it work for Xue Lin?
“Honey, try again. I’ll watch you carefully this time.” Qingfeng Li was still at disbelief.
Xue Lin nodded and sat down, beginning to cultivate again.
She channeled the Heavenly Immortal Chant, with her hands slightly upward and forming a hand sign. Her chest rose and fell slightly with breath. She was inhaling the spirit energy that surrounded her.
But the spirit energy disappeared again after a cycle, not staying in her body.
Xue Lin stood up, with her slim eyelashes trembling, and said, “Honey, it’s still not working. My dantian can’t form a spirit nucleus.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and said, “I noticed. Your body seems to have some conflicts with the energy. They are incompatible, just like water and fire, so the energy always vanishes in the end.”
Qingfeng Li thought for a while but couldn’t figure out the reason. After all, he got all of his cultivation techniques and knowledge from Dark Night Emperor, yet he still knew very little about cultivation.
Qingfeng Li thought for a while and asked Dark Night Emperor, “Senior Dark Night, I taught my wife the Heavenly Immortal Chant, but she can’t form a spirit nucleus. Do you know why?”
Dark Night Emperor woke up in the long sword and said, “Kid, your wife is no ordinary person. She possesses the Phoenix Bloodline, one of the most powerful Godly Beast Bloodlines. She can only practice Phoenix Techniques. The Heavenly Immortal Chant is an immortal’s technique, which doesn’t match her bloodline. That’s why she can’t form a spirit nucleus.”
Qingfeng Li understood and nodded. He forgot that his wife had the Phoenix bloodline and was the reincarnation of an ancient Phoenix. She could only practice phoenix-based techniques. The Heavenly Immortal Chant was for humans, not her.
Qingfeng Li kept asking, “Senior, how can I get Xue Lin a phoenix technique and help her become a self-cultivator?”
Dark Night Emperor said, “There is only one way. Xue Lin has to awaken most of her memories, at least 80 percent of it. Right now, she has only awakened one ten-thousandth of it and has already stopped recovering more. That’s why she is not ready for cultivation. She can only rely on herself.”
Qingfeng Li sighed and stopped talking to Dark Night Emperor. He said to Xue Lin, “Honey, it looks like you can only practice demonic Dao techniques or phoenix techniques.”
Xue Lin frowned with disappointment. She wanted to practice sooner to become a powerful self-cultivator and help her husband, but it seemed impossible now.
“Honey, don’t worry. You can’t cultivate for now but can still do it later. I’ll protect you,” Qingfeng Li caressed her hair and said with care.
Then, Qingfeng Li told Xue Lin about his experiences in cultivation world and taught her a lot of knowledge and insights he had gathered.
Qingfeng Li also told her about the Western self-cultivation world invading the East. He asked her to be careful and go to the company less. He also asked her to bring Ziyi Miao and Sky Fate Demon King to protect her if she had to go out.
“Since there is an upheaval in Huaxia, as a member of the Eastern cultivation world, you should attend the Self-cultivation World Convention and stand up for Huaxia, kicking those from the West out,” Xue Lin said to Qingfeng Li.
Xue Lin was born and raised in Huaxia and liked this place very much. She didn’t want the self-cultivators from the West to decimate her home.
“Relax, I’ll attend the convention and become the Eastern Cultivation Alliance’s chief. Then, you’ll become the chief lady. I’ll kill all the western self-cultivators threatening Huaxia,” Qingfeng Li said with a smile.
Qingfeng Li didn’t fear the Western self-cultivators at all, even the Sky God Emissary. Qingfeng Li had many cards in his hand; once he showed these techniques, he will teach them all a lesson.
Chapter 1387: The Selection of the Chief of the Self-Cultivation World
“Honey, be careful. The Sky God Emissary has the Godly Lamp, and he can summon the Sky God and easily injure you. I don’t want you to be hurt,” Xue Lin looked at Qingfeng Li and said tenderly.
Though Qingfeng Li was very powerful, Xue Lin was still a little worried about him. She knew there were many other hidden masters in Huaxia, and nobody could remain undefeated forever.
“Don’t worry, Honey. I’ll go now. Take care and live in hotels for now.” Qingfeng Li tenderly fixed Xue Lin’s hair and left.
When Qingfeng Li walked out, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were waiting for him there. They both stared at him anxiously.
“Puppy, what happened; why so serious?” Qingfeng Li frowned and said.
Black Puppy said seriously, “I felt the aura of a peerless ferocious beast in Huaxia. It seems to be one of the ten great ancient ferocious beasts.”
“What, ancient ferocious beast? How can that be?” Upon hearing Black Puppy’s words, Qingfeng Li was completely shocked.
He knew the ancient ferocious beasts well. They were super powerful without many that could match its strength.
Qingfeng Li had escaped from the Qiongqi and Taotie on the second level of hell. But that was only because they were suppressed by Heavenly Dao Seal Scripture in hell.
If these two beasts got out of hell, it would become a huge disaster to the whole self-cultivation world, which was no less than the attack from the western forces.
Qingfeng Li frowned and asked Black Puppy, “Puppy, do you know which beast came to Huaxia?”
Puppy shook his head and said, “I’m not sure now. I’ve only sensed its aura. As for what exactly it is, we won’t know until we see it.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and said, “Puppy, don’t tell it to anyone else. Don’t let other self-cultivators know so as not to cause panic. We need to maintain morale right now.”
Black Puppy nodded and replied, “I know. Oh, the election for the Chief of Huaxia’s self-cultivation alliance is about to start. You have to get this position, and then you can lead the self-cultivators in Huaxia to defeat those from the West.”
“I’ve got the call from Fengwu Cao. Let’s take off to Tianjing City right now.” Qingfeng Li waved his hand and went to Tianjing City with Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Cat of Fate.
As for the Wolf Fang Team and the Ten Great Demon Kings, Qingfeng Li had them stay in Eastern Sea City to protect Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu.
Qingfeng Li had a supreme status in Huaxia and was more respected than those super rich guys. He booked a whole airplane and flew to Tianjing City with Black Puppy and the rest.
The airplane was fast. After two hours, they arrived at Tianjing International Airport.
Fengwu Cao led Red Butterfly Yip to the airport to welcome Qingfeng Li.
The welcome team consisted of many self-cultivators. The Dragon King of Dragon Fang Team was also there.
Qingfeng Li waved his hands and greeted the Dragon King, which made him really excited.
A year ago, Qingfeng Li was the leader of the Wolf Fang Team from the Wolf Continent and the Dragon King was the leader of the Dragon Fang Team of the Dragon Continent. They were both infamous masters of the continent among normal people.
But a year later, things became totally different.
The Dragon King became a member of the Special Security Bureau and was only a self-cultivator in the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
But Qingfeng Li had reached the Half-Step Spirit Emperor Realm, with the combat ability to defeat those in the Spirit Emperor Realm. He was at the top of all the self-cultivators in Huaxia and was the number one in the younger generation. He was known as the peerless genius that only appeared once a millennium.
The self-cultivators in the entirety of Huaxia knew the name of Qingfeng Li. Some young people admired him a lot, and that included the Dragon King.
Qingfeng Li reached out his palm, patted the Dragon King’s shoulder, and said with a smile, “Don’t be this excited, you were also a king before.”
The Dragon King was a little embarrassed and said, “You are in the half-step Spirit Emperor Realm and are my idol now.”
Qingfeng Li smiled and shook hands with him. Then he looked at Red Butterfly Yip by the side and said, “Red Butterfly Yip, you look more and more beautiful every time we meet.”
Red Butterfly Yip turned a little shy and said, “Wolf King Highness, you’re still this flirty.”
Though Red Butterfly Yip said so, her heartbeat became faster. She adored Qingfeng Li and even had a little crush on him.
Qingfeng Li shook hands with all of them and then came to the side of Fengwu Cao. He said, “Sister Cao, why did you come here yourself?”
Fengwu Cao smiled slightly and replied, “Qingfeng Li, today is the first day of the election for the Chief of Huaxia’s Alliance. Of course, I would come welcome you myself.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and headed to the election convention with Fengwu Cao.
Tianjing City was one of the four super cities of Huaxia, with a population in the tens of millions. It was the center of the hidden ancient martial arts sects and self-cultivation sects in Huaxia.
There were many super masters hidden in this city who did not take any actions during times of peace. But at critical moments, they would show up and change the world.
Tianjing City was surrounded by undulating mountains that naturally formed the shape of tigers and dragons.
The mountains in the east looked like a green dragon that was thousands of meters long with its head pointed upwards, gazing proudly at the sky.
The mountains in the west looked like a white tiger, crouching there and overlooking the forests.
Dragons were the king of godly beasts and the sovereigns of the sky, and tigers were the king of earthly beasts, the regent of forests, and the rulers of the earth.
Tianjing City was located at the center of these mountains, taking in the spirit energy from the sky and the earth, from the sun and the moon. With the Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams, the Five Elements energy here, self-cultivators improved rapidly. It was a unique place nourishing lots of powerful self-cultivators.
Tianjing City had held an election for the Chief of the self-cultivation world every three years before. Only the most powerful, the most talented, and those with the most potential could attend this convention.
The place where they held the convention was super secret. Ordinary people would never be able to locate it; only self-cultivators knew of the location.
Though Qingfeng Li was a powerful self-cultivator, he didn’t know this location either.
Fengwu Cao drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom to meet Qingfeng Li. It was a limited edition worth 50 million, with a bulletproof car body and titanium alloy blast shields. It was super solid and completely bulletproof.
