123 Rong Shi In The Woods (1/2)

When Xiao Fang came out of his meditative state, he was glad to see the progress Xiao Hei made in that time, but he was most surprised by Su Yun. Earlier he assumed Xiao Hei was a long way from learning how to create more than 1 clone during combat, but in just a few hours she was able to do it.

'Seems that I underestimated them.'

Although it was Xiao Hei's accomplishment, she never would've learned it without Su Yun's instructions.

After watching Xiao Hei train for a few minutes, Xiao Fang eventually got up and left.

This was likely the last day he would be in outer court, so he wanted to spend his last day walking around, visiting his favourite or most memorable locations. The Black Paradise sect had more tourist attractions in the outer court than the entire Divine Sword sect, so he enjoyed revisiting all of the sites one last time.

Later that day, Xiao Fang stopped by the woods. He often hung out with Xun Wei here when they wanted to be outside and alone. However, a few minutes into walking through the woods, he saw someone he recognized.

She had soft brows, big brown eyes, shy pink lips, long black hair, and she had a simple jade hairpin running through her hair. Xiao Fang knew she wasn't lacking in the ass or tits department either because he cultivated with her a few times in the back room of the mission hall. But the thing Xiao Fang liked the most about her was the way she coloured nails.

Rong Shi sat on the edge of the lightly kicked her pretty feet back and forth in the crystal clear water as she watched the fishes swim.

”It's a nice day for a swim, don't you think?” Xiao Fang said as he approached her.

Hearing him speak, she didn't immediately reply. She eventually turned her head to see who it was, but the moment she saw his face she froze.

He could tell that she was both surprised and happy to see him. This was the last place she thought she would run into him, so she was at a loss for words.

Seeing that she was in a bit of shock, Xiao Fang sat next to her then spoke again saying,

”It's a bit strange seeing you outside of the mission hall, I was wondering where you were the last time I was there.”

”You were looking for me?”

Xiao Fang nodded.

”Ah, I quit after I saved up enough merit points to attempt the inner court exam. I would've told you, but you're not exactly an easy person to get in contact with.”

”Are you confident?”

”Confident?”

”You said you'll be taking the exam tomorrow. Do you think you'll pass?”

”ah... I think my chances are good,” she answered.

Whether she was ready or not was irrelevant. For personal reasons, failure wasn't an option.

”You want... to see me again?”

Xiao Fang nodded again, making her blush.

”But isn't this your first year in the sect? You need to be at least in the Refinement Realm to participate in the exam.”

”I know.”

Catching the meaning behind his words, Rong Shi became shocked.

She knew he wasn't anyone from the 4 major families because the younger generation from those families were all famous, but to reach the Refinement realm in 1 year was something only someone in one of those major families could do.

”Y-you still shouldn't underestimate the exam. I hear over 90% of the people fail their first time.”

”Thanks for the warning, maybe with some luck I'll be a part of the 10% that pass in their first attempt.” Xiao Fang said.

Despite her warning, she still felt like he wasn't taking the exam seriously. Unfortunately, she couldn't say much about it since it was also her first time doing the exam.

Xiao Fang noticed the scroll on her lap.

”Are you practicing a new technique?” he asked.

She nodded then got up to show him. She took a few deep breaths then took a step into the river. Xiao Fang's eyes widened in surprise when she started walking on water.

Watching her walk towards the center of the river was impressive. He couldn't see it being too useful in battle, but it was still a nice trick to have.

She tossed the scroll over to him.

”Take it, I have no use for it anymore,” she said.

Rong Shi felt like this was the least she could do. She didn't believe him when he told her that his cum would help her make breakthroughs with her cultivation, so she was surprised when she really started making faster breakthroughs.

Xiao Fang was surprised. Most people wouldn't share their cultivation techniques, not even with their closest friends.

Xiao Fang skimmed over the text and was surprised to find some similarities with the 1st level of his heavenly realm movement technique: [ Floating Leaf Rushing Tide ].

Since he already mastered [ Floating Leaf Rushing Tide ], it was much easier for him to learn the technique she gave him.

He read it over a few more times then meditated it as he attempted to change the nature of his qi. This was usually the most difficult part about cultivating a new technique, but he was able to feel his qi quickly change to the necessary state within a matter of seconds.

'Hmm. Perhaps someone I Dual Cultivated with had already learned this technique,' Xiao Fang thought.
