Chapter 1830: Chapter 1827: Farewell!
Upon hearing Beiming Xue’s question, Wui Nishang thought for a moment and asked, “Then according to you, what should we do?”
Beiming Xue pondered and said, “We still have some time before we can return. During this period, we can teach him some cultivation secret manuals. Then, it will be up to his own fate!”
Wui Nishang nodded in agreement, saying, “That’s a good idea!”
Seeing her senior sister nod in agreement, Beiming Xue turned to Li Chen and asked earnestly, “I plan to teach you some cultivation methods for self-preservation. Are you willing to learn?”
From Beiming Xue and Wui Nishang’s words, Li Chen had already realized that this was a cultivation world.
The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive!
Therefore, when Beiming Xue asked this question, he did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed.
“I am willing!”
Beiming Xue thought for a moment and said, “Alright, from today onwards, I will teach you the most basic Breathing Skill!”
“The Breathing Skill is quite simple. It’s all about exhaling the turbid air from within and inhaling the spiritual power from outside. This exchange between turbid air and spiritual energy transforms your meridians, bone marrow, and organs repeatedly. Once a certain level is reached, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, allowing a breakthrough into a new realm!”
Beiming Xue rambled on, but Li Chen listened in a haze.
Seeing Li Chen look at her dumbly, Beiming Xue couldn’t help but laugh. Imitating her master’s gesture, she tapped his head and teasingly said, “You’re so dense; you can’t even understand this!”
Li Chen awkwardly rubbed the back of his head, not knowing what to say, so he just gave Beiming Xue a silly smile.
His silly smile made Beiming Xue laugh even more.
Later, under Beiming Xue’s patient guidance, Li Chen learned quite a lot about the common knowledge in this cultivation world.
The path of cultivation roughly consists of seven levels: Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Mahayana, and Tribulation.
Li Chen, having just begun to enter this path, naturally started at Qi Refinement, the most basic level.
It must be said, his comprehension was quite impressive. In just three days, he progressed from zero to reach the peak of Qi Refinement.
Three days later, he successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Another three days passed, and he reached the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
He was just one step away from the Golden Core Realm.
Moreover, Li Chen had learned that in this cultivation world, only those at the Golden Core Realm and above are considered cultivators.
Li Chen’s cultivation speed could be described as rocket-like.
Even Beiming Xue and Wui Nishang, these two Heavenly Pride Girls, were quite surprised and considered Li Chen a cultivation prodigy.
However, Beiming Xue still referred to Li Chen as ’blockhead’ in the same way, teasing him as ’elm-headed’ and so on.
Despite this, Li Chen never refuted her remarks.
Each time Beiming Xue teased him, he would rub his head and laugh foolishly.
Furthermore, when Li Chen laughed like this, Beiming Xue also laughed joyfully.
Time flew by like the blink of an eye, and half a month passed in no time.
Li Chen remained at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to break through to the Golden Core Realm.
But Wui Nishang had repeatedly advised him that his cultivation time was too short, his foundation was not fully solid, and he should not progress too quickly. He should take his time to strengthen his foundation.
Wui Nishang looked at Li Chen and said earnestly, “Li Chen, tomorrow we must leave, and the rest of the journey will depend on you!”
Upon hearing Wui Nishang’s words, Li Chen realized that the day of separation had come.
He looked at Beiming Xue with reluctance, wanting to say something, but swallowed his words and simply nodded solemnly like a chick pecking at grain.
At this moment, a hint of melancholy appeared on Beiming Xue’s pretty face.
From her garment collar, she pulled out three Spirit Talismans and handed them to Li Chen.
“Blockhead, take these three Spirit Talismans. They can save your life in crucial moments!”
Looking at the Spirit Talismans handed over by Beiming Xue, Li Chen hesitated for a moment before accepting them.
“Thank you!”
Then, he mustered up the courage to look into Beiming Xue’s eyes, as clear as a pool of spring water, and asked,
“Beiming Immortal, will we have the chance to meet again?”
Beiming Xue’s smile bloomed like a flower, as she said, “Of course. When you reach the Divinity Transformation Realm, you can take a Jade Token and come find me at the Yaochi Immortal Palace!”
As she spoke, she handed a Jade Pendant to Li Chen.
Upon accepting the Jade Pendant, Li Chen saw a vividly carved flower on it, looking very beautiful.
Wui Nishang never expected Beiming Xue would give her own token to Li Chen.
She wanted to object, but seeing Beiming Xue like this, she swallowed her words.
…
The next day, in the morning:
Li Chen realized he had left the sea and was now on a mountain ridge.
Beiming Xue and Wui Nishang had long gone, their whereabouts unknown.
Li Chen called out Beiming Xue’s name in the ravine.
But only the whistling mountain wind answered him.
A quiet solitude enveloped him!
Li Chen called out dozens of times until his voice became hoarse before he stopped.
He arrived at the edge of a lake and saw his somewhat disheveled reflection, and he mocked himself with a laugh.
Then he washed his face vigorously, briefly determined his direction, and set off.
Just as Li Chen left, two streams of light suddenly landed on the mountain ridge.
The owners of the light were none other than Wui Nishang and Beiming Xue.
In truth, when Li Chen was calling out Beiming Xue’s name, the two of them had been nearby all along.
But with Li Chen’s cultivation, he simply could not detect them.
Beiming Xue watched Li Chen’s gradually receding figure, a ripple of worry in her clear and bright eyes, and said:
“Senior sister, he’s so weak. Do you think he’ll encounter danger?”
Wui Nishang did not directly answer Beiming Xue’s question but gently tapped her fair forehead.
“You little girl, when did you become so concerned about a man?”
Upon hearing her senior sister’s teasing, Beiming Xue realized she was overly worried about Li Chen.
Thinking of this, her pretty face blushed with embarrassment, and she softly defended herself, “No way?”
Wui Nishang laughed and said, “You little girl, I know what’s in your heart.”
“If not, then why is your face red?”
Upon hearing her senior sister say this, Beiming Xue was taken aback.
She instinctively covered her cheeks with her small hands.
When her gaze met Wui Nishang’s, she instinctively evaded it.
“There’s nothing, senior sister, you’re laughing at me!”
