Chapter 397: Chapter 30 Miss Shi Performs Another Ritual
“Were you sneaking peeks at from behind?” Shi Liuli suddenly turned around and said fiercely.
“Not at all, Senior Sister.” Luo Yan wore a puzzled expression, “Why would I need to sneak peeks at you?”
Shi Liuli was stumped by his question: That’s right, given my relationship with Junior Brother, there’s no need for him to sneak peeks at , is there?
Even if I am a beauty that overshadows the moon and shas flowers, and causes fish to dive and geese to fall, he could just watch openly. Why the need for secrecy?
So, she cast aside the feeling of being watched and continued on. After walking for a while, she suddenly asked uncertainly,
“Junior Brother, do you think I can beco a high rank cultivator?”
...
“Are you referring to Nascent Soul cultivators, Senior Sister?” Luo Yan feigned contemplation before replying, “If Senior Sister is willing to work hard and progress, with your deep well of fortune, forming a Nascent Infant is definitely not a problem.”
“Indeed,” Shi Liuli muttered.
She was still confident in her own remarkable luck.
After thinking for a bit, Shi Liuli’s brows lifted, and she smiled brightly,
“If one day, I truly beco a Nascent Soul cultivator, you’ll be under my Senior Sister’s protection then!”
“Absolutely,” Luo Yan replied with a feigned smile, “At that ti, I’ll rely solely on Senior Sister’s shelter.”
“Hmm-hmm.” Shi Liuli boasted triumphantly, “To protect everyone, I must beco stronger!”
“It’s hard to disagree,” said Luo Yan.
Shi Liuli cast another divination, chose a direction, and then declared,
“To beco stronger, one must encounter adventures…”
Luo Yan’s heart skipped a beat. Was Shi Liuli gearing up for sothing big again?
“But this ti, I have a premonition,” Shi Liuli continued, “The treasure we’ll get this ti will be a grade higher than last ti!”
Luo Yan fell silent for a long while before asking,
“Senior Sister, do you really have a premonition, or are you trying to manipulate the future?”
“What manipulation are you talking about!” Shi Liuli glared at him coquettishly, “Haven’t you heard the saying ‘sincerity makes the spirit move’? Do you get it?”
Luo Yan was speechless.
Fine, you’re lucky, so whatever you say goes.
“What do you think I still lack now?” Shi Liuli pondered, “An Immortal Sword, I have the Purple Extre Han Yuan Sword; a Magical Treasure, I have the Taiwei Hook Chen Glittering Soul Star Sand; Daoist Magic, I have various derived techniques from the ‘Five Latitudes Heavenly Secret Record.’ As for talisman scripts, elixirs, art calculations… I’m not lacking anything.”
“How about so Purple Mansion Secret dicine?” Luo Yan imdiately sycophantically said, “With your strong luck, acquiring a two-hundred-year-old Purple Mansion Secret dicine isn’t too much to ask for, right?”
If a two-hundred-year Secret dicine really shows up, I’ll just go through the tribulation when I get out and form a First Grade Golden Core!
“How could Purple Mansion Secret dicine be that easy to co by?” Shi Liuli, seeing through his ulterior motive, huffed, “I have a premonition that there won’t be any Purple Mansion Secret dicine this ti.”
Luo Yan fell silent for a long ti.
Oh dear, too eager and ended up outsmarting myself.
“However, if there’s no Purple Mansion Secret dicine, I don’t think there’s really anything else I lack,” Shi Liuli pondered, “If anything, I’m just short on combat experience?”
Not that, please! Luo Yan was instantly horrified; I have way too much combat experience! Just go out and fight a few battles, and that’s really all you need!
“This…” He asured his words, “Senior Sister, acquiring combat experience isn’t difficult. With your intelligence and wisdom, participating in a few matches on the fighting arena at the White Jade Capital’s grand competition, getting used to the rhythm of dueling with other cultivators, you’ll have no trouble at all.”
“I think maybe so more Daoist Magic? The derived techniques from the ‘Five Latitudes Heavenly Secret Record,’ being derived from Qi Refining Technique, are basically for self-protection.”
“It would be best to get a powerful Daoist magic, just like the Heaven-flipping Seal and Divine Striking Whip, that could secure victory with a single strike,” Luo Yan finally hinted without saying too much, for fear that the capricious Miss Shi would respond with, “I don’t think that’s Daoist magic.”
However, perhaps it was the allure of “securing victory with a single strike” that caught her attention, for Shi Liuli didn’t show any resistance and nodded:
“Indeed, it would be good to have so powerful Daoist magic. I heard that Chief Qiu excels in the Five Thunder True Law? And that Xu Yinglian has mastered the Great Bright Fire Divine Ability?”
“Hmm,” Luo Yan thought to himself, why are you still concerned about my other identity, “The Five Thunder True Law eradicates evil and vanquishes spirits, and the Great Bright Fire Divine Ability can burn mountains and boil seas, both are attack-oriented and extrely potent Daoist magic.”
“Then I want Daoist magic too!” Shi Liuli said enthusiastically, “Firstly, it has to look good! Secondly, it has to be powerful! Lastly, it needs to be simple and easy to use, not too complicated!”
Luo Yan continuously agreed, cooperating with the preferences of Miss Shi, but in his heart, he couldn’t help but complain:
Can we not swap the priorities of “looking good” and “being powerful”? What’s the use of looking good if it isn’t powerful enough?
About fifteen minutes had passed, and it was unknown how the other five were faring, but at last, the two of them finally reached the exit ahead.
Upon entering, they were still transported into a secret chamber.
Only this ti, instead of various magical artifacts, there were three bookshelves, and every shelf was filled with Jade Slips.
“The treasure vault will close in ten breaths…” The sa voice rang out in their minds once again.
Luo Yan, already experienced with the process, hurriedly rushed to the bookshelves to pull out Jade Slips.
But halfway through, he couldn’t pull them out anymore!
Shi Liuli first used Sword Light, and finding that the Jade Slips wouldn’t budge, she hurriedly followed Luo Yan’s lead to grab them, but she could only pull them out halfway, as the remaining parts seed to be nailed to the bookshelf and would not move at all.
Almost simultaneously, the two of them realized: The Cultivation Techniques docunted in these Jade Slips were of too high a rank, and since they could not study them at this ti, the Jade Slips refused to be taken!
Without hesitation, they abandoned the Jade Slips in their hands and switched to another target.
Since all the Jade Slips looked similar, they could only randomly select, and it turned out that Shi Liuli chose the second Jade Slip, which she pulled out effortlessly.
And then she disappeared from the room.
Could only one be taken? A thought flashed through Luo Yan’s mind, but his hands didn’t stop moving as he continued to try to pull out the next Jade Slip.
Can’t pull out.
Can’t pull out.
Can’t pull out.
Seven breaths had already passed, and Luo Yan had chosen about a dozen Jade Slips, none of which could be pulled out! How unlucky could he be!
“The second one from the left in this row!” the Kunlun Mirror suddenly suggested.
Luo Yan imdiately reached out like lightning, and the mont he grasped the second Jade Slip, he felt the world spinning, and he was teleported out of the Lianshan Treasure Vault, appearing above the sea.
At that ti, Shi Liuli was standing beside Elder Shi Ding, excitedly discussing sothing, obviously having obtained so powerful Daoist magic.
Master of Xuandu stood next to them, nodding continuously.
“Luo Yan has also co out,” Elder Shi Ding called him over and said with a smile, “Having experienced the Lianshan Treasure Vault once again, what did you obtain?”
“Reporting to Master,” Luo Yan had obviously prepared his answer in advance, lying, “I obtained a Secret Technique in the chamber, nad ‘Postnatal Five Elents Great Extermination Divine Light’.”
“Postnatal Five Elents Great Extermination Divine Light?” Elder Shi Ding and Master of Xuandu exclaid in unison.
“Yes,” Luo Yan said calmly, as if completely unaware of what that implied.
His hands hidden in his sleeves quietly stashed the Jade Slip into his Storage Bag.
