Xun'er: Let's See What Kind of Unresolved Regret This Is

Plane Blessing: [Seven Days of Wind Lightning Nirvana Scripture Cultivation Experience]

The reason Feng Qing'er had set her sights on Xiao Ting and wanted to meet him as soon as possible was precisely because of the Plane Blessing she had suddenly received.

The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan was a powerful magical beast race. Their Dou Qi attributes were naturally mostly wind, lightning, and fire; Feng Qing'er had innate dual wind and lightning attributes, and her mother was a Dou Sheng expert. The clan had high hopes for her and bestowed the Wind Lightning Nirvana Scripture upon her at an early age.

The effect of the Wind Lightning Nirvana Scripture was to temper one's body and bloodline with the power of wind and lightning. While making one stronger in battle, it could also elevate one's bloodline, ultimately allowing one to return to their origins and transform into an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

The creator of this secret art was a Heaven Demon Phoenix senior from ten thousand years ago who had reached the level of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng. After reaching the Dou Sheng realm, he had successfully completed his transformation.

According to the clan's records, just after this senior broke through to become a One-Star Dou Sheng, he had been able to defeat Two-Star Dou Sheng experts and contend against Three-Star Dou Sheng experts with his Ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodline.

One of Feng Qing'er's purposes in joining the Wind Lightning Pavilion was to use the wind and lightning power of the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range to temper herself, transform her bloodline, and strive to return to her origins.

However, this secret art was extremely difficult to cultivate. Otherwise, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan would not have gone ten thousand years without a second clansman returning to their origins as an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

Yet after receiving the Plane Blessing, Feng Qing'er keenly noticed that her understanding of this secret art had improved significantly.

"Small gains add up, and grains of sand build a tower."

"If I can use the Plane Blessing to master the Wind Lightning Nirvana Scripture to perfection, then one day, I will be able to use the power of wind and lightning to return my bloodline to its origins."

Feng Qing'er's heart began pounding wildly, and her eyes became incomparably fervent.

Though she was proud as a phoenix, she was not foolish. On the contrary, she was very clever.

If she went looking for Xiao Ting with an obvious purpose, she would expose herself.

If Xiao Ting discovered that she had a Notebook Copy, things would become troublesome.

As for harming Xiao Ting, she had only acted on a momentary impulse. In truth, even without the Notebook Copy's warning, she could not possibly do such a thing. After all, Gu Xun'er stood behind him.

The Gu Clan's patriarch's only daughter, a Nine-Star Dou Sheng—someone the entire Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan could not afford to provoke.

"He lives off Gu Xun'er, so I absolutely can't use force against him." Feng Qing'er pondered with a serious expression. "Then I can only be gentle, but I can't let her think there's something suspicious about my behavior."

Feng Qing'er bit her lip in thought when a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed her mind.

She certainly could not harm Xiao Ting, but she could treat him well under the guise of harming him.

Humans liked to take talented magical beasts as mounts, expending resources to nurture them.

Then she would do the opposite: find an excuse to take Xiao Ting in as a human pet or guard, and use resources to nurture him.

In a roundabout way, she would let him live off her, bind him to her side, and have him mention her name in the Notes every day.

"Clever as I am." The more Feng Qing'er thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.

What she needed to consider next was how to encounter Xiao Ting without arousing suspicion.

Feng Qing'er fell into deep thought.

Xiao Ting knew nothing of any of this.

After practicing by himself for a while, he took the initiative to seek Yao Lao's guidance again.

When someone lost themselves in doing something, time always passed especially quickly.

From sunrise to sunset, it seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

"That's enough for today. Go back, take a good bath, and review your cultivation experience while you cultivate."

As Yao Lao spoke, Xiao Ting and Xiao Yan stopped cultivating and returned to the Xiao Clan under the light of the setting sun.

After having lunch together, Xiao Ting returned to the secret chamber in his courtyard and sat cross-legged on a cushion.

After recording today's cultivation insights and uploading them to the Notes, he began cultivating the Thunder Flame Treasure Mirror.

As before, the more he cultivated, the more energetic he became, as though he had strength he could not exhaust.

It was not until well past midnight that Xiao Ting paused his cultivation and waited for the Plane Blessing.

Plane Blessing: [Seven Days of Heaven Drawing Dragon Transformation Seal Cultivation Experience]

"Today's is the Heaven Drawing Dragon Transformation Seal."

Xiao Ting carefully integrated and absorbed the extra memories in his mind.

As with memories he had personally experienced, he had no impression whatsoever of anything outside of cultivation.

Seven days of cultivation experience was more extensive and comprehensive than the experience he would accumulate through a month of normal cultivation.

He had also successfully brought this Low Earth Tier Dou Technique to the level of minor mastery.

"Tomorrow, I'll give Yao Lao a little surprise."

The corners of Xiao Ting's lips curled up as he immersed himself in cultivation once more.

The Northwest Continent was vast. The southwestern region alone contained dozens of empires of varying strength.

The Jia Ma Empire lay at the southernmost edge of the southwestern region, bordering the Southern Region of the Northwest Continent, while its southernmost territory bordered the Black-Corner Region.

The Black-Corner Region was a famously chaotic land where the law of the jungle was taken to its extreme. To guard against cultivators from the Black-Corner Region, the Jia Ma Empire had established three major fortresses along its southern border: Zhennei Pass, Zhenzhong Pass, and Zhengui Pass.

These three major fortresses were imperial border military strongholds that deterred foreign forces. Their internal defenses were as impenetrable as a net cast from heaven and earth, and the troops stationed there had all been tempered in real battles of blood and fire. They were also the final line of defense for leaving the Jia Ma Empire from the south!

However, for a Peak Dou Emperor like Queen Medusa, who had already begun to grasp Spatial Power, passing through silently without causing destruction was not difficult.

After leaving the southern border, Queen Medusa changed direction and rushed toward the extreme south of the Northwest Continent. Just before dawn, she finally arrived at Black Water Ravine.

Based on the information provided by the Notebook Copy, she successfully salvaged a snake corpse from a location within Black Water Ravine. Its body was charred black, devoid of any life.

Bang!

With a palm strike, Medusa destroyed the snake corpse. She raised her hand and seized a magical core that emitted a faint seven-colored glow, though cracks covered its surface.

"It's real!" Medusa suppressed her excitement and swept her gaze toward a spot nearby. "Come out obediently."

A seven-colored phantom snake shadow appeared, circled Medusa once, and obediently allowed itself to fall under her control.

"I need to find a way to have more contact with Xiao Ting. It would be best if he could write my name in the Notes every day!" Medusa's gaze burned as though she were Lady White about to devour Xu Xian.

What she did not know was that a mysterious expert dressed in black had witnessed everything.

That expert took out a sheet of paper that emitted an unusual glow, briefly wrote a string of content upon it, and then set it ablaze.

"Miss."

Within the Xiao Clan of Wutan City, a black-robed woman appeared beside Xun'er, who had just risen from bed, and dropped to one knee.

"Aunt Ling, what message did we receive?" Xun'er asked with a gentle smile.

"We just received two messages," the woman replied. "Ling Yue reported that Medusa left the southern part of the Jia Ma Empire and traveled all the way to Black Water Ravine in the extreme south of the Northwest Continent. With a clear objective, she found the corpse of a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python that had failed to evolve and obtained its damaged magical core and remnant soul."

"Ling Mei returned not long ago with a message. Last night, after Xiao Yi Xian arrived in Wutan City with the Wan Yao Zhai caravan from Qingshan Town, she checked into an inn and did not leave. Early this morning, after asking the inn waiter for information, she went to Yuhua Hall on West Street, your favorite breakfast place."

As she mentioned the second message, a trace of surprise flashed through the woman's eyes. She did not think this was a coincidence.

Her young mistress's instructions had also been rather strange.

"The future Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python has now obtained the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's inheritance."

"Xiao Yi Xian, who should have been in Qingshan Town, came to Wutan City and headed straight for my favorite breakfast shop. She must be waiting for Brother Xiao Ting."

Two thoughts flashed through Xun'er's mind.

After thinking briefly, she said, "Aunt Ling, have Elder Ling secretly protect Brother Xiao Ting. I won't have breakfast with him this morning. We're going to Yuhua Hall."

She wanted to meet Xiao Yi Xian, who surely also had a Notebook Copy—an Observation Copy.

She wanted to see what kind of unresolved regret this was!
