It's normal for Xie Ke'er to be sensitive; it shows that she clearly knows who is truly bringing her benefits.
She was just a little greedy.
Knowing that Leng An treated her differently from others, she tried to give Leng An some hints, such as unintentional physical contact.
But she was greedy.
She didn't want to give herself to Leng An so soon, and she wasn't even sure if her feelings for Leng An counted as love.
Moreover, being a woman herself, she was perfectly aware of Shen Han's feelings.
To prevent this special treatment from being taken away by someone else, Xie Ke'er was in no hurry to give Leng An a definite answer, and simply kept him hanging.
This is why Shen Han and Leng An have been hesitant to take that step.
Selfish, self-interested, and arrogant.
It must be said that these qualities would not be considered immoral if viewed in the context of the side quests Leng An previously played in.
On the contrary, this is the foundation for survival in the end times.
Unfortunately, Leng An's kindness was genuine, but Xie Ke'er's selfishness was also genuine.
Li Xuanzu had already seen this out.
Perhaps those involved are too close to see things clearly; what appears as love to others may not be apparent to those directly involved.
... ...
Ouyang Ningxue eventually settled down at Leng An's place and also sent a message to Li Xuanzu to let him know.
As for the rift between them, they both tacitly kept quiet about it.
Ouyang Ningxue has received the decree from the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star, which basically means that there is no need to worry about Li Xuanzu.
Li Xuanzu no longer planned to take Fu Yu and Qian Li around. Since the last battle with Eris, his spiritual sense needed some time to recover to its peak.
That was around the time of the Chinese New Year, a traditional festival in China.
Moreover, divine kingdoms are springing up like mushrooms after rain on Earth, and several more nations have awakened their gods.
It's not hard to imagine what a spectacular scene the Chosen One will present three months from now.
Just as Li Xuanzu returned to his residence and was about to concentrate and recover his spiritual consciousness, Elder Huang called.
"Ancestor, um..."
Old Huang stammered and mumbled for a long time, but couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
"Spit it out. I'm in a bad mood. If you don't say anything, I'm hanging up."
Li Xuanzu found that after returning to the Dragon Kingdom, he had nothing of substance and was having a very bad time.
"Come to Zuixianju, this is not something that can be explained clearly over the phone."
Old Huang still didn't say what it was about.
"Okay, okay, three minutes."
Li Xuanzu hung up the phone in a bad mood, but he didn't act impulsively because of his bad mood.
Old Huang's behavior most likely indicates that something important has happened.
Three minutes later, Li Xuanzu arrived at the small farm where Elder Huang had specifically used to discuss matters.
The large, gilded characters on it, written in a flamboyant style, clearly read "Zui Xian Ju" (醉仙居).
During this period, Huang Lao renovated Zuixianju and officially named it.
The name doesn't mean anything; I just found it online.
It needs a name, doesn't it?
The people at the door had anticipated Li Xuanzu's arrival and respectfully invited him inside.
Old Huang had been waiting inside for a long time. Upon seeing Li Xuanzu arrive, he immediately stood up to greet him.
The manners were quite proper.
"Alright, alright, just say what you need to say. Do you really think I didn't expend any energy to capture Eris?"
Li Xuanzu blocked Huang Lao's radiant, chrysanthemum-like old face, and said with a hint of disdain.
"Hehehe, well, we still managed to capture you, which proves you're incredibly strong and unparalleled in combat..."
"Stop! If you don't tell me what's going on, I'll really hit you. Don't say I'm not giving you face."
Li Xuanzu felt nauseous looking at that wrinkled face, all squeezed together by a smile, while he uttered flattering words.
My head was already feeling uncomfortable.
"Right away, right away, please have a seat."
Old Huang wasn't annoyed; he simply shrank back and rubbed his hands together.
A comical old man.
“Didn’t Master Tianyan break through to the fifth level of exorcist before? Just now, Daoist Chunyang and a shaman from the Northeast region, Wang Yingxiong, also broke through to the fifth level of exorcist.”
After seeing Li Xuanzu sit down, Huang Lao straightened his expression and began to speak.
As he spoke, a hint of pride unconsciously appeared on his face.
"You'd better not tell me you're just here to give me some good news."
Seeing that Elder Huang remained silent, Li Xuanzu immediately considered getting up and leaving.
"Hey, hey, don't rush me."
Old Huang quickly got up to stop him.
"Actually, I just wanted to ask you how to use merit."
"How do you use it? I don't repair these things, I'm just telling you how."
"Isn't it just absorbing the power of wills to become stronger and then using innate spirits to fight? How else can it be used?"
Now it was Li Xuanzu's turn to be dumbfounded.
Ultimately, the merit system of the Blazing Spirit Continent is designed to serve cultivation.
If it's not for the purpose of becoming stronger, then it's not called cultivating merit, but rather accumulating merit. The two may seem similar, but in reality, they are worlds apart.
Different purposes, different natures.
The fifth-tier exorcists of the Dragon Kingdom tend to cultivate merit, but their actions are not solely for their own benefit.
As the only cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage in the entire era of the Blazing Spirit Continent, Li Xuanzu's family fortune was exceptionally abundant.
Leaving aside popular techniques, even some very obscure ones, as long as he finds them interesting, he will write them down and compile a copy.
He does indeed have methods for cultivating merit, but they are not suitable for the exorcists in the current Dragon Kingdom.
The main problem is that he still doesn't understand what the innate spirit is.
“I believe you must have knowledge about merit and how to use it. I also know what you are worried about, but I have no other choice.”
Old Huang saw what Li Xuanzu was worried about.
If it weren't for the imminent impending selection of Heaven, Old Huang wouldn't have wanted to make such a risky attempt.
"Alright, I'll leave you a Blood Servant later. It will tell you the origin, function, cultivation method, and usage instructions of merit."
"I don't really understand what innate spirits are either, so don't get your hopes up too high. All I can do is tell you what I know."
After Li Xuanzu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, closed his eyes, and concentrated.
Before long, a drop of blood in Li Xuanzu's palm began to grow larger and larger until it formed an ordinary-looking male blood servant.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Ask it if you have any questions about merit."
Li Xuanzu pointed to the blood servant, which nodded in response, indicating that Li Xuanzu had endowed it with considerable intelligence.
"Thank you so much, you've really been a great help!"
Old Huang respectfully rose and bowed slightly to Li Xuanzu.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Li Xuanzu accepted the gift without any hesitation and then returned home.
