Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Familiar Yet Strange [Tenth Update, New Year Extra!] Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Familiar Yet Strange [Tenth Update, New Year Extra!] The two of them landed in front of several elders and Cheng Yiyi, who imdiately looked at them with faces full of wariness.
“Why have you intruded upon our dicine God Valley without permission?” an elder stepped forward and asked.
These two people, able to fly freely through the air, must undoubtedly have reached the Spirit Condensation Realm. Such young powerhouses in the Spirit Condensation Realm are truly startling.
Just what brought these two powerful individuals to dicine God Valley? Could it be that they are here in search of dicine?
Li Xiaoyao’s eyebrows knitted slightly in displeasure. Had he been gone for so long that they no longer recognized him?
“I am Li Xiaoyao,” he said, with a hint of dissatisfaction.
“What?”
...
“You are Mr. Li?”
“But…”
Cheng Yiyi stared at Li Xiaoyao without blinking. From the beginning, she felt this man seed familiar, but she couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.
Now, hearing his voice, that familiar tone, she almost imdiately recognized him.
Observing the changing expression in Cheng Yiyi’s eyes, Li Xiaoyao asked, “Don’t you recognize ?”
“You… how have you changed?” Although the voice was very familiar, this face had changed too much.
“Changed?” Li Xiaoyao didn’t quite understand what Cheng Yiyi ant by her words. He took out a mirror and looked at himself. When he saw the handso face in the mirror, he could hardly believe it.
The forr Li Xiaoyao wasn’t particularly handso, but he had a certain appeal.
The current Li Xiaoyao, while still having a firm outline and almost flawless features, possessed a visage that almost shouldn’t exist in this world.
Even the most popular celebrity could not compare to him.
“How could this be?” Li Xiaoyao looked at his reflection in the mirror and was montarily stunned.
Xiaoqing spoke from the side, “In a certain sense, this is the real you.”
“What do you an?” Li Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.
Xiaoqing said, “The seal within you loosens as you continue to break through, allowing you to beco who you truly are.”
“The seal can change my appearance?” Li Xiaoyao asked incredulously, this notion was unheard of.
“The seal inside you is strange,” Xiaoqing murmured after a few seconds, saying, “This seal is not malevolent, but rather…”
“What is it?”
“It’s ant to protect you.” Xiaoqing shook her head, adding, “I am not deeply versed in formations. If my sister were here, she would surely notice your seal at a glance.”
Li Xiaoyao fell silent. In his mind, he recalled what Li Chengfeng had told him about the events surrounding his birth.
His mother’s brother had co from The Third Realm and taken her and him, still an infant, away. Since then, his father had heard no news of them.
Li Xiaoyao speculated that the seal on him was likely left by his mother.
She had sealed his body to protect him.
If what Xiaoqing said was true, his innate talents must have been extrely formidable. His mother, not wanting her brother to notice, sealed him to make him appear as an ordinary person, thus protecting his life.
Xiaoqing suddenly felt that the young man’s emotions had undergone a sudden change, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what had changed.
“Mr. Li.”
The elders, filled with smiles, respectfully called out to him.
They were now sure that the man before them was indeed Li Xiaoyao.
So young, yet so powerful—besides Li Xiaoyao, who else could it be?
If at first they had felt so dissatisfaction and resentnt towards submitting to Li Xiaoyao, those feelings had already dissipated with the continuous demonstration of his formidable strength.
“Mm.” Li Xiaoyao nodded, reined in his emotions, glanced at Cheng Yiyi, and asked, “Are you getting used to things here?”
Cheng Yiyi really wanted to express the injustice she felt, but as the words reached her lips, she stopped herself.
“Hmm.”
“You all continue with your work,” leaving these words behind, Li Xiaoyao took Xiaoqing towards the resting place of the first Valley Master.
This burial ground had beco ruins, but after Li Xiaoyao left, Wu Cheng arranged for people to repair the site, making it even more imposing than before.
“This is the place,” the two of them stood outside the burial ground, Li Xiaoyao said.
“Such a rich soul power, it is indeed here,” Xiaoqing nodded lightly, she already felt the soul power within the burial ground.
The coffin still lay quietly at the center of the burial ground, Li Xiaoyao walked over, pushed the coffin lid aside, and looked down to see a rootstock of Spirit Condensation jade about the size of a thumb, firmly rooted on the coffin.
“Only this segnt of rootstock is left.”
Xiaoqing walked over, her face filled with joy as she looked at the rootstock, saying, “Although it’s not complete, it’s enough.”
“Just this small piece is enough?” Li Xiaoyao was sowhat skeptical.
Xiaoqing reached out gently and grasped the rootstock, shook it slightly, and then removed the Spirit Condensation jade.
The Spirit Condensation jade was translucent like jade, beneath its thin and fragile skin flowed a slowly moving erald liquid, extrely strange to behold.
“You only know that Spirit Condensation jade has miraculous effects on the soul, but you don’t know that the rootstock of the Spirit Condensation jade is the essence and foundation of concentration,” Xiaoqing said, looking at the rootstock on her palm with a satisfied smile on her face.
“So, that thing…” Li Xiaoyao rubbed his hands and said, “About what you said before, you’re still counting it, right?”
Xiaoqing was taken aback by his question, asking, “What did I say?”
Li Xiaoyao imdiately said, “Hey, you can’t be like this. I helped you find the Spirit Condensation jade, and you said you owed a favor.”
“What would you like to do for you?” Now that she had gotten what she wanted, owing him a favor wasn’t such a big deal.
After stroking his chin, Li Xiaoyao said, “I haven’t thought of anything yet, I’ll tell you when I do.”
“Fine. But before you think of sothing, I still need your help with sothing.”
“What is it?”
“I need to refine this Spirit Condensation jade, and during that ti, I will be in a deep sleep. While I am asleep, you will need to protect .” Xiaoqing herself didn’t understand why she trusted Li Xiaoyao so much.
This new face, Xiaoqing once felt it familiar, yet also sowhat foreign, as if she had seen it before, but couldn’t rember why.
This feeling was very strange, and Xiaoqing, not being a detail-oriented woman, didn’t care to think too much about it, simply attributing it to an incomplete fusion of souls.
“Asleep?” Li Xiaoyao frowned and asked, “For how long?”
“I cannot control the ti; it might be a month, a year, or even longer. The soul is very mysterious; even immortals cannot fully understand it.”
“That long?” Li Xiaoyao found this problematic.
He still had a lot to do. He wanted to seek revenge on the Sects that had united against him outside the Human Realm.
Xiaoqing guessed his thoughts in an instant, “Are you going to take revenge on those people?”
Li Xiaoyao did not conceal his intentions, nodding with an “Hmm.”
Xiaoqing said, “That’s easy, I can go and kill them all right now.”
“No need, I’ll kill them myself,” Li Xiaoyao was not so down and out to need a woman to take action for him.
Li Xiaoyao didn’t want to limit his freedom by being obligated to protect Xiaoqing, so after a long silence, he said, “When refining the Spirit Condensation jade, could you, perhaps, transform into your original form?”
“I can.”
Li Xiaoyao was pleased and said, “Then I can carry you with . That way, I can protect you while also doing what I need to do.”
After thinking for a mont, Xiaoqing said, “The condition is, you should only do things you’re confident about. I don’t want to wake up to find that you’re already dead.”
