Chapter 70: Xiangyi Talks About Impermanence at Night
Banxia's talent was really good. She memorized all the two sets of hand gestures taught by Lingxiang in just half an hour, and was able to perform most of them.
Although Zhao Wuyang had some shortcomings, he really surprised Lingxiang - even if his techniques were not quite right when he made the hand gestures, he could always make his whole body react, especially the Five Elements Hand Strategy, he could actually draw the Qi into his body.
As she expected, this little Wuyang actually had talent in this area. Lingxiang immediately regretted it - she got fewer benefits from Senior Brother Qianyuan!
Long Qi and Liu Xia were in a much worse situation. Xinyi had no teaching experience, so he had never explained things in such detail as Lingxiang did. He himself had cultivated to this point by being beaten. In his opinion, he only needed to roughly explain some methods of attaching spirits to weapons, and he should be able to learn the rest through beatings.
So when Lingxiang left Banxia and Zhao Wuyang to practice on their own, when he went to the backyard to check, he saw Long Qi with a bruised face and nose and Liu Xia with bruises all over his body.
Although in her opinion, men need to be polished more, but this...
It's really too miserable...
Seeing that Xinyi was still shouting at the two to get up and fight, she hurried forward to stop them. If they continued like this, let alone performing martial arts, she was afraid that her life would be lost at the hands of this ancestor.
Lingxiang looked at Xinyi with disbelief, but Xinyi looked innocent and as if it was a matter of course, as if saying, "Didn't you ask me to discipline them well?"
However, although the two looked scary, Xinyi actually had some tricks up her sleeve. The two men only suffered superficial injuries, and they seemed to have learned some tricks during the fight. There were one or two times when their swords showed strange signs after they made hand gestures.
When Zhao Wuyang saw the colorful faces of Long Qi and Liu Xia, he was silently glad in his heart. He had thought that he would be abused when practicing with Lingxiang, but he didn't expect that she was unusually serious today and did not treat him like she did in previous times. On the other hand, Long Qi and Liu Xia's injuries were really terrible. He didn't know which expert Miss Lingxiang had invited to treat them so severely. But Brother Xinyi seemed to be safe and calm. It seems that if he encounters any problems in the future, he will have to rely on Brother Xinyi.
While Xinyi was treating Liu Xia's injuries, Liu Xia was extremely excited. Although he was beaten badly today, he seemed to be able to grasp some of the true energy that he had felt running around in his body before. Moreover, when he was practicing the art of breathing just now, the soft steel sword in his hand seemed to be wrapped in a gust of air. He even felt that his steps were lighter than before.
But I never thought that Xinyi was so powerful. I was completely unaware that the people around him had such high levels of cultivation. It seems that I will have to learn more from him in the future.
Compared to Liu Xia who was fully focused on cultivation, Long Qi was a bit noisy. Every time Lingxiang applied potion on him, he would cry out in pain and grimace, which was quite funny. It was unknown whether it was true or not. If you say he was pretending, his face was indeed bruised and mottled. But if you say the pain was really unbearable, Lingxiang did not use any force.
However, this matter made Lingxiang a little confused. Although Liu Xia was also injured, his face was very clean and he still looked like a handsome young man. Then look at Long Qi.
Is this guy trying to win the fight with his face?
Banxia and Zhao Wuyang were immersed in their cultivation in the courtyard. Hearing the noises from within, Zhao Wuyang grew increasingly fearful of Lingxiang. "Seventh Brother has already been so bad, how could Miss Lingxiang still be so cruel?" Banxia, however, looked at him with disdain. "He's only got a bowl-sized scar on his head, is it necessary to be so wailing?"
But she seemed to have forgotten how cowardly she was during her second martial arts performance.
…
I had planned to let everyone go back after finishing the daily teaching, but for some reason it suddenly started to rain. It was just a drizzle at first, but in the blink of an eye it started to pour heavily, catching everyone off guard.
The winter rain naturally carries a lot of cold. Although the doors and windows were closed, Banxia still felt the cold and shivered.
Lingxiang's previous guess turned out to be correct, but the rain showed no sign of stopping, and it might even turn into hail at night. If they sent everyone away now, the rugged mountain road would be extremely dangerous.
The building in Xianyunju is now in ruins, and there are only two habitable rooms. It's okay for Banxia, as she can sleep with her, but there is only a small bed in the other side room, and it seems inappropriate for the four of them to squeeze together.
"How about we sleep on the floor?" Liu Xia suggested, "Wuyang is still young, so let him sleep on the bed. The three of us are strong and healthy, so we can just take a straw mat and spread it out."
As they said this, everyone looked at Lingxiang, but Lingxiang looked embarrassed at this time.
Before, she had lived alone in Xianyunju all year round. Even when Maidong came, he never stayed overnight. Therefore, she had never prepared these things. Although there were bedding, how could a girl's things be given to a man casually? Even when Long Qi was playing tricks and living in Youranju, he bought all the necessary utensils on the spot.
But when she was teasing the playboy down the mountain, she seemed to have never cared about the difference between men and women. Even after seeing Long Qi's body, she looked indifferent.
Could it be that he has hidden something shameful that he cannot tell others?
Thinking of this, Long Qi started to make plans in his mind.
Lingxiang made a fire gesture and started a fire in the house. After a while, Banxia felt a hint of warmth. They all stayed up until midnight, but finally succumbed to their sleepiness and fell asleep one after another.
Lingxiang was afraid that everyone would catch a cold, so she placed the Fire Spirit Pearl on the lamp. Although she still didn't know how to use it, the Fire Spirit Pearl seemed to have a spirit and slowly released heat, making the room warm.
Looking at the magnolia on the corridor outside the door, Lingxiang stood up and walked towards him.
"What are your plans now?" She wrapped her clothes tightly around her. Once the Fire Spirit Pearl left her body, she felt so cold that she couldn't bear it.
Seeing Lingxiang like this, Xinyi quickly chanted a spell and transferred some true energy to her, and Lingxiang felt better.
"After all, he is a true martial artist who has reached the Jindan stage. His profound strength is much purer than mine." He looked at Xinyi, as if waiting for him to answer the question just now.
Xinyi, however, stared at the rain curtain outside the corridor and spoke after a while, "At first, I didn't understand why Bai Wuchang spared my life. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid he had been planning this for a long time."
Lingxiang thought about it. Bai Wuchang had Xinyi spying on her simply because she could refine the Life-Extending Pill, or because her mother was the Tumi Fairy. But she couldn't understand why they were so obsessed with the Life-Extending Pill? Logically speaking, the Life-Extending Pill was incredibly effective. The Demon Lord already had two, so even the most serious of his injuries should have been healed. Yet, they had gone to such lengths over the missing last pill.
And where was the last life-extending pill back then?
"I'm unable to refine pills right now. Next time he calls you for questioning, you must tell him the truth and see what he will do." Lingxiang said while pinching her chin.
Xinyi nodded. He had tried to find his mother over the years, but to no avail. It seemed that if he wanted to find his mother, he would have to continue working for Bai Wuchang.
