Just About to Poop When Someone Hands You Paper

Xia Wantang nodded and said, "Please enlighten me, Holy Son!"

Although training together was just an excuse, she genuinely lacked practical combat experience.

Ye Xing's cultivation was far superior to hers. Normally, she wouldn't have such a high-level sparring partner.

So, this collaboration was definitely a win-win for her, incredibly worthwhile.

The following time passed quickly with the exchange of their moves.

During this process, Ye Xing discovered that although Xia Wantang's movements were a bit stiff, she improved very rapidly.

If she made a mistake once, she could correct it promptly the next time, showing excellent comprehension.

If she were a student, she would definitely be the type to make a teacher's life easy.

Moreover, Xia Wantang's spiritual power circulation was smooth, and her aura was stable.

Ye Xing had initially thought that her rapid advancement might just be superficial. He hadn't expected her spiritual power to be so solid, with every move precise and full of swordplay.

He had initially underestimated Xia Wantang, viewing her as merely a talented but ornamental vase. After today, his opinion had completely changed, and he truly began to appreciate her.

[Host gained 2 favorability points with Ye Xing. Current favorability: 35. Exchangeable faith points: 20.]

Xia Wantang: Huh? How did my favorability suddenly increase while we were sparring? Is this person a masochist?

[Perhaps he was simply awestruck by your heroic demeanor!]

[Also, Host, you can do another ten-pull now. Happy, happy.]

Xia Wantang: I can feel it. His control over his spiritual power is excellent. Even though his cultivation is far higher than mine, I can't sense it at all.

Even cultivators with higher cultivation than Ye Xing might not be able to control their spiritual power so precisely.

This alone shows that Ye Xing's strength is truly extraordinary.

[As the Son of Destiny, Ye Xing naturally possesses advantages that ordinary people lack.]

Moreover, these Sons of Destiny usually have cultivation that is just the surface of their power.

In reality, their cultivation is highly potent, often allowing them to challenge opponents of higher levels.

Sparring with a powerful person not only felt exhilarating but also deeply satisfying.

By evening, both felt they hadn't had enough and agreed to continue their sparring the next day.

Returning to Quiet Heart Hall, Xia Wantang was still somewhat reflective:

"I never expected sword practice to be so exhilarating."

"I remember I didn't like sports in my previous life. Is cultivation really this interesting??"

[Host, it's not the exercise that's exhilarating, but becoming stronger and achieving immortality!]

"No wonder those powerful figures in novels became obsessed with cultivation later on."

[Indeed. With their lifespan nearing its end, advancing just one step could grant them decades or even centuries more. Who could resist such a temptation?]

"That's true. It seems I need to intensify my cultivation before returning to the Xia Family."

"Every bit of strength I gain gives me more leverage."

[Host, don't forget the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique. After merging with the Spirit Feather Fox Demon Tribe Bloodline, your cultivation will likely surge directly to the Profound Heaven Realm, or even the Spirit Channeling Realm!]

"?! That Supreme Yin Demonic Physique is that powerful? Ye Xing is only at the Spirit Channeling Realm."

[The Supreme Yin Demonic Physique is a top-tier demonic physique from the upper plane. High-level demons are born with cultivation, which is normal.]

[It's just a pity that the Spirit Feather Fox Demon Tribe Bloodline is slightly inferior and doesn't quite match the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique. Otherwise, your cultivation could be even higher.]

"No wonder you said the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique could gain cultivation just by breathing. I believe it now."

[Of course. I never lie to the Host.]

Hearing the System's words, Xia Wantang became more and more eager, wishing she could switch bodies immediately and experience the thrill of being powerful.

Unfortunately, she was currently in Azure Cloud Palace and couldn't freely switch to the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique; it was too dangerous.

"If only there were magic treasures that could conceal my demonic identity..."

"System, can you pull some strings and arrange a special magic treasure for me?"

[Ah, this... If I had that kind of ability, I wouldn't be working, *sniffle*!]

"Then I guess it's up to fate. Come on, System, arrange a ten-pull. This might be our last one before we go to the Xia Family."

The sect grand competition was less than two months away. Traveling from Azure Cloud Palace to the Xia Family would take ten days, and she would need to stay with her family for some time. The sooner she got there, the more time she'd have.

So, Xia Wantang had already decided to depart for the Xia Family in a week.

[Received! Drawing now... This ten-pull is guaranteed to yield treasures of Immortal Grade or above.]

A purple light flashed in her mind, followed by the System's voice:

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained: Divine Wind Chain (Immortal Grade Ninth Tier), Spirit Emperor Sealing Talisman (Immortal Grade Second Tier), Essence Restoration Pill * 4, Energy Augmentation Pill * 4.]

[Wow, Host, your luck is amazing! It's like needing to poop and someone handing you toilet paper!]

"Ugh, System, you have some weird tastes."

[That's not the point. The point is that the Divine Wind Chain can perfectly mask demonic energy, demonic aura, and other traces from foreign races. Ye Xing also has similar magic treasures.]

[Besides, this is an Immortal Grade Ninth Tier magic treasure, just shy of Divine Grade! Cultivators below the Spirit Immortal Realm won't be able to detect it!]

"I remember the highest cultivation level in the Questioning Immortals Realm is the Spirit Immortal Realm... and that's a legendary realm. No cultivator has reached it in a hundred years."

The male protagonists of the novel also only reached this realm at the very end, ascending to the upper plane.

[Exactly. With the Divine Wind Chain, Host, you won't have to worry about your demonic form being exposed. Even Elder Sword won't be able to tell.]

"I'm touched. Is this the treatment for being an 'Ou Huang'? Anything I wish for comes true."

"What's the Spirit Emperor Sealing Talisman for?"

[As the name suggests, with this spirit talisman, Host, you can instantly kill a cultivator below the Spirit Sovereign Realm.]

[It's very useful during the early stages of growth, allowing Host to directly kill opponents of a higher level.]

"That's really a great item. Too bad there's only one. It would be nice if I could draw another comprehensive spirit talisman guide."

[Host, don't get too greedy. That Array Compendium is also quite good. Once you've mastered it, you can also challenge opponents of a higher level, just like those Sons of Destiny.]

Hearing this, Xia Wantang was filled with motivation. She immediately took out the Beginner to Intermediate Array Compendium and immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge.

The next day.

Xia Wantang went to find Ye Xing to practice sword fighting as usual, and also informed him about her plan to return to the Xia Family.

Ye Xing, unaware of the complexities within the Xia Family, nodded and said:

"That's for the best. Cultivators should focus on seeking the Dao. After you return home to handle some family matters, you probably won't have many opportunities to come back."

Ye Xing hadn't returned to his clan in decades. He missed home too.

Besides maintaining the false identity of Fu Lingyun, he also had reasons why he couldn't return.
