Chapter 96 (1/2)
What’s wrong with you?
It had become a routine these few days when he woke up.
When it was close to evening, Long Xian Li would appear in the small hut without a sound and discuss with Su Yun about pills and the reasoning in medicine. Of course, as a cultivator, Su Yun would also ask about things regarding Profound Spirit Qi, but Long Xian Li had no answers to those questions.
In his previous life, Su Yun could not cultivate because of his gift. But he learnt something from the Evil Religious Sect: The Profound Divine cultivation usually depended on oneself to figure out. Though there was help from the Everlasting Stone, he had no guidance. With the guidance from Long Xian Li, he was enlightened (TN:sudden flash of insight and all is clear).
There was something unclear between the two of them.
When midnight struck, Long Xian Li would also leave without a sound.
Su Yun knew that she probably went on investigating Limitless Sword God.
Even though he had tried testing her the other day, and was sure Long Xian Li had no doubts about him, he was still worried.
And that was because of Qing Er.
When he appeared as Limitless Sword God to save Qing Er at Purple Star Academy, there was a crowd. And though it was chaotic and many might have not seen that scene clearly, the Su Family who were saved saw it clearly. But Qing Er only cared about him when she was in Su Family. if Long Xian Li attacked Qing Er, she might be suspicious again.
Nevermind, as long as he did not admit that he was Limitless Sword God, hiding the Everlasting Stone and Heavenly Crystal properly should do.
Su Yun sighed as he thought.
Although Long Xian Li could guide him in cultivating Profound Spirit Qi, there were many things he could not do when she was around. Afterall, he was Limitless. If he let the cat out of the bag, then things might take a turn.
But Long Xian Li seemed to be interested in the pills, so it was not convenient to banish her. With regards to power, she could easily strangle him with one hand, and, even if he used the Heavenly Crystal, it would be hard to defeat her.
Everyday, when he cultivated, he used it with the pill, and his cultivation level increased enormously. To breakthrough into the realm of the sixth rank was unusually easy.
The sun was setting.
Ka cha.
A gentle sound rang in the hut.
The spirit pen in Su Yun’s hand started to fly.
“What are you doing?”
Long Xian Li turned with her beautiful eyes and stared curiously at the paper on the table.
“Writing a list of ingredients.”
Lifting his head, Su Yun tapped the spirit pen on his chin and thought for awhile and started to write on the paper.
“Done!”
He threw the spirit pen aside and picked up the spirit paper to look at.
“The list of ingredients?”
Long Xian Li extended her gentle and soft hands and stated blandly: “Is this regarding the ingredients? Let me see!”
“You won’t understand!”
“Is there anything in this world I don’t understand?” Long Xian Li groaned.
Su Yun glanced at her with his doubtful eyes and passed the list over.
Long Xian Li grabbed the list lightly and swung it slightly before putting them in front of her eyes. In a split second, her beautiful eyebrows tensed up.
After a while, Long Xian Li opened her mouth and asked grudgingly: “What’s all these?”
“Ingredients!”
Su Yun laughed: “I intend to cultivate a pill you’ve never seen nor heard before. But as of now, I’m still lacking in ingredients. These are the ones the Su Family does not have and I have to get out of the town to buy!”
“Then, why are you still standing here?” Long Xian Li did not understand.
“Because cultivating a pill requires a lot of preparation. I don’t have the time to leave the Su Family so I need you to help me!”
After hearing it, Long Xian Li’s fair face turned dull: “How dare you send me on an errand!?”
While both Su Yun and Long Xian Li had spent the past few days discussing about pills and cultivation, the relationship between them was unique. But this would not change anything, Long Xian Li was ultimately the third elder of the Immortal Sword Sect and her status was noble. It was something Su Yun could not match to.
“Oh? You’re still keeping your status as the third elder of the Immortal Sword Sect over here?” Su Yun asked.
Long Xian Li promptly kept her silence, but she then kept her angry face away and stayed silent, only to moan coldly before she turned and left.
She left early today. It could be because she was offended by Su Yun, but he did not care about it. What he wanted to do, he would do it.
Peaceful days like these continued for awhile.
In the next few days, Long Xian Li did not drop by. It did make Su Yun feel a tad lonelier. Xin Yu and Xing Yang were both stationed within the house, so, when things got busy, there was no one he could talk to.
But, this silence was broken quickly. News that caused chaos traveled to Su Yun’s ears.
Qing Er and Bai Yan Shan had set out to spar on the seventh month.
Seven months later, the Southern Continents and all other regions would hold a massive meeting. This meeting happened triennially. All the sects would gather to form this massive meeting.
Qing Er had strongly asked to spar with Bai Yan Shan, but was rejected by her. Qing Er did not give up. Instead, she forced her way through to make Bai Yan Shan give in, but alas, she was stopped by the patriarch of the Su Family, Su Li Xiong. Because of this, Qing Er was grounded.
As the news spread, doubt grew in Su Yun’s heart. Qing Er was always careful. Why was she so reckless this time round? He was worried something might happen, so he did not think so much and rushed towards the patriarch of the Su Family.
The patriarch was no stranger to Su Yun. After contacting Xin Yue and Xing Yang, they both planned for him to slowly and carefully enter the premises.
Remaining still in this small premise.
Two ladies with sabers stood right in front of the door of the small premise.
