Gold-Wrapped Shit

Inside the secret room.

Xiang Li was Jingjing practicing her spiritual cultivation.

Before him, spiritual energy swirled around a piece of remains.

The remains were no longer recognizable; they appeared to have melted away.

Between him and Xiang Li, there is a faint line connecting Xiang Li, guiding the energy within.

At that moment, the closed door to the secret room was suddenly opened.

Or to be more precise...

It simply disappeared.

In its place was the same figure from before.

Brush.

It was another step forward.

He came right in front of Xiang Li.

At this moment, Xiang Li was still in the midst of cultivation, completely unaware of the approaching figure.

Suddenly, the old man raised his hand.

"Sir, stop!"

Xiang Qingcang's voice suddenly rang out, and his aura surged faintly around him, indicating that he had already caught up with the figure.

Although the newcomer's methods were not simple, he was still a Saint Emperor and was certainly capable of fighting.

Currently, Xiang Li is engaged in cultivation.

If it is abruptly interrupted.

At best, it affects one's vital energy; at worst, it can severely damage oneself.

It seems that Xiang Qingcang's words had an effect.

The figure paused slightly in raising his hand.

The next moment, he suddenly turned around.

He raised his hand and pointed at Xiang Qingcang.

It was completely calm and uneventful, without the slightest fluctuation of energy.

Xiang Qingcang's pupils suddenly contracted for no apparent reason.

He immediately raised his arm to respond.

However, this finger, though seemingly slow, arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Brush.

The finger tapped lightly.

Xiang Qingcang immediately felt an indescribable suppressive force descend upon his physical body and soul.

Brush.

Almost immediately afterward.

Xiang Qingcang retreated continuously, exiting directly outside the door and bumping into Xiang Ge who had followed him before finally stopping.

"Father!"

Xiang Ge's expression changed, and he quickly called out.

"I'm fine."

Xiang Qingcang spoke, his eyes fixed intently on the figure before him.

That single finger strike had given him a feeling of utter terror.

Just who is this person?

Xiang Qingcang was forced back by a single finger.

The old man raised his hand, and an aura surged out, enveloping Xiang Li and directly interrupting his cultivation state.

Xiang Li suddenly opened his eyes, noticed the figure in front of him, and his expression immediately changed. He said in a deep voice:

"Who are you?!"

He was clearly in a secluded, important place within his clan, where no one should have been able to break in.

The figure did not answer, but looked at Xiang Li and said:

"Would you be willing to become my disciple and travel to the Misty Clear Realm to cultivate?"

Xiang Li paused, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes when he heard "Misty Clear Realm".

However, at this moment, he noticed the vanished gate and Xiang Ge and Xiang Qingcang standing at the gate.

"Father, Grandfather, what is this?" Xiang Li asked.

Xiang Ge glanced at Xiang Qingcang.

The father and son were both somewhat bewildered, staring at each other blankly.

Even they had never heard much about this so-called Qinglan Realm.

However, at this moment, the two breathed a sigh of relief because the other party had just said that he would become a disciple to cultivate, which meant that the other party had taken a liking to Xiang Li and perhaps did not have any malicious intent.

Otherwise, given the opponent's finger strike just now, if they wanted to do something to Xiang Li now, he wouldn't be confident he could stop them.

At this moment, Xiang Qingcang's eyes suddenly flickered.

"Misty Clear Realm, Realm, etc..."

He quickly looked at the figure beside Xiang Li and tentatively asked:

"Is the Misty Clear Realm you speak of the Upper Realm recorded in ancient texts?"

Upon hearing this, the figure nodded but did not offer any explanation.

"The Upper Realm!"

Xiang Ge's expression shifted, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, his father had mentioned to him some descriptions of the Upper Realm in ancient books.

I don't remember the exact details, but it mentioned better resources and environment for cultivation.

Judging from the opponent's actions just now, perhaps this claim is not entirely unfounded!

A powerful being from the Upper Realm has taken a liking to his own son!

Xiang Qingcang wasn't as excited as Xiang Ge, but he still tried to say:

"Your Excellency, my grandson Xiang Li possesses the Five Elements Sacred Physique and is aided by the Heavenly Dao. He was previously granted a great opportunity. I wonder if he could become your disciple?"

The title of "disciple" doesn't sound very prestigious.

The expression on that figure's face suddenly became somewhat inscrutable as he listened to Xiang Qingcang speak of opportunities and the Heavenly Dao.

His gaze fell on the mass of remains in front of Xiang Li.

Xiang Qingcang noticed this and his expression changed slightly.

He was about to explain.

But then a figure raised a hand and pointed.

It landed on the remains.

Bang!

The remains exploded with a bang, and at the same time, the void around them suddenly became somewhat distorted.

The remains shattered into a powdery mess, like mist, yet within this distorted space, they seemed to be undergoing something, quickly regaining their luminous appearance.

At that moment, the figure flicked his finger.

Brush.

The light from the powdered remains suddenly converged, like a long river, rushing towards Xiang Li.

Xiang Li's body jolted violently.

The next moment, his eyes closed, and a look of enjoyment and comfort appeared on his face. He even let out a faint, soft moan.

Xiang Qingcang and Xiang Ge simply watched nervously.

However, judging from the tone of Xiang Li's groans, it's probably not a bad thing, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.

Swish, swish, swish.

Suddenly, the aura of the Five Elements Sacred Physique emerged around Xiang Li, and as the light flowed, it showed a rapid upward movement.

Xiang Li's Five Elements Sacred Physique is being rapidly enhanced!

"This..."

Xiang Qingcang took a deep breath.

Such methods suggest that this figure truly originates from the Misty Clear Realm.

After a few breaths, all movement ceased.

Xiang Li slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock and excitement.

Are you willing?

The figure spoke once more.

This time, Xiang Li nodded without any hesitation:

"I wish to become your disciple."

Once you've tasted the sweetness, you'll know how beneficial it is.

"Good."

The figure nodded, and the next moment, it raised its hand, took out a talisman, and placed it in front of Xiang Li.

"Hold this item; it will guide you to a certain place, from where you can enter the Misty Clear Realm."

"Due to geographical barriers, frequent travel is difficult. We may bid farewell for the next seven days."

After saying that, the figure raised his hand and made a sweeping motion.

A crack suddenly appeared in the void.

Just as he was about to step inside and leave, he seemed to suddenly notice something.

The next moment, the rift was erased, and with one step, it disappeared from the spot once more.

Brush.

The figure reappeared, this time at another cultivation site of the Xiang Clan.

Most of those living here are ordinary members of the Xiang Clan.

With a wave of his hand, another secret chamber door vanished in front of him.

Inside the secret chamber, Luo Zhen was meditating cross-legged.

The figure stopped in front of him, took a deep look, and a few fluctuations suddenly appeared on his usually calm face.

"Gold-Wrapped Shit, this place has truly reached its end; even such a calamity has appeared."

"However, it is still a rare treasure; let's make the most of it here."
