24: Chapter 24 Xun'er: Let's see what kind of lingering resentment she has.

Plane Blessing: 【Seven days of cultivation experience for the Wind and Thunder Nirvana Scripture】

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

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is a powerful magical beast race. Their innate Dou Qi attributes are mostly Wind, Thunder, and Fire. Feng Qing'er was born with dual Wind and Thunder attributes, and her mother is a Dou Sheng expert, so the clan placed high hopes on her and bestowed the "Wind and Thunder Nirvana Scripture" upon her early on.

The effect of the "Wind and Thunder Nirvana Scripture" is to use the power of wind and thunder to temper one's body and bloodline, enhancing one's combat strength while simultaneously improving the bloodline, eventually leading to ancestral reversion and transformation into an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

The creator of this secret technique was a Heavenly Demon Phoenix predecessor from ten thousand years ago who reached the Seven-Star Dou Sheng level and successfully completed the transformation after attaining the Dou Sheng realm.

According to clan records, this predecessor had just broken through to One-Star Dou Sheng, yet by relying on the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodline, they were able to defeat a Two-Star Dou Sheng expert and contend with a Three-Star Dou Sheng.

One of the reasons Feng Qing'er joined the Wind and Thunder Pavilion was to utilize the wind and thunder power of the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range to temper herself, transform her bloodline, and strive for ancestral reversion.

However, this secret technique is extremely difficult to cultivate; otherwise, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan would not have gone ten thousand years without a second clansman achieving ancestral reversion into an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

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

"Accumulate little to make much, gather sand to form a tower."

"If I can master the 'Wind and Thunder Nirvana Scripture' to the consummate level through the Plane Blessing, one day I will be able to achieve bloodline ancestral reversion with the help of the wind and thunder power."

Feng Qing'er's heart beat wildly in an unpromising manner, and her eyes became incomparably fiery.

Though she was arrogant as a phoenix, she was not stupid; on the contrary, she was quite clever.

If she went to find Xiao Ting with a clear objective, she would expose herself.

If Xiao Ting were to realize she possessed a journal copy, things would be troublesome.

As for harming Xiao Ting, she had just been hot-headed; in fact, even without the warning from the journal copy, she could not possibly do such a thing, as Gu Xun'er stood behind him.

The only daughter of the Gu Clan Chief, a Nine-Star Dou Sheng—the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan could not afford to offend her.

"He is eating Gu Xun'er's soft rice, so I absolutely cannot use hard tactics against him." Feng Qing'er began to think earnestly: "Then I can only use soft tactics, but in terms of the personality I display, I cannot let him think there is something wrong with me."

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

She certainly could not harm Xiao Ting, but she could be good to him in the name of harm.

Humans like to take talented magical beasts as mounts and spend resources to cultivate them.

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

By letting him eat her "soft rice" in disguise, she could tie him to her side, so that her name would be mentioned in the Diary every day.

"How clever I am." The more Feng Qing'er thought about it, the more she felt this plan was feasible.

Now, what she needed to consider next was how to meet Xiao Ting without being suspected.

Feng Qing'er fell into deep thought.

Xiao Ting knew nothing about all of this.

After practicing for a while on his own, he took the initiative to seek guidance from Yao Lao.

When people are engrossed in doing something, time always passes particularly quickly.

From sunrise to sunset, it seemed like just a blink of an eye.

"That's all for today. Go back, take a good bath, and summarize your cultivation experience."

As Yao Lao spoke, Xiao Ting and Xiao Yan stopped their cultivation and returned to the Xiao Family, stepping on the sunset glow.

After eating dinner together, Xiao Ting returned to the secret room in his courtyard and sat cross-legged on the cushion.

After recording his cultivation insights for the day and uploading them to the Diary, he began to practice the "Thunder Flame Precious Tome".

As always, the more he practiced, the more energetic he felt, and he even felt like he had endless strength.

It wasn't until past midnight that Xiao Ting paused his cultivation to wait for the Plane Blessing.

Plane Blessing: 【Seven days of "Heaven Summoning Dragon Transformation Seal" cultivation experience】

"Today's portion is the Heaven Summoning Dragon Transformation Seal."

Xiao Ting earnestly merged and digested the extra memories in his mind.

Regarding this part of the memory, it was still as if he had experienced it personally; he had no impression of anything outside of the cultivation itself.

Seven days of cultivation experience was more comprehensive and substantial than the experience he would accumulate from a month of normal self-cultivation.

He had also successfully reached the Small Success stage of this Earth Grade Low-Rank Dou Technique.

"Tomorrow, I will give Yao Lao another small shock."

Xiao Ting's lips curled slightly, and he plunged back into cultivation.

The Northwest Continent is vast; just the Southwestern region contains dozens of empires of varying strength.

The Jia Ma Empire is located in the southernmost part of the Southwestern region, bordering the southern domain of the Northwest Continent, and the southernmost part of the empire borders the Black-Corner Region.

The Black-Corner Region is a notoriously chaotic place where the law of the jungle is taken to the extreme. To prevent cultivators from the Black-Corner Region from entering the territory, the Jia Ma Empire set up three major fortresses on its southern border: Zhennei Pass, Zhenzhong Pass, and Zhengui Pass.

These three major fortresses are military strongholds on the empire's border that deter foreign powers. Their internal defenses are like a vast net, and the troops stationed there have been tempered by true blood and fire on the battlefield; this is also the last line of defense for those leaving the Jia Ma Empire from the south!

But for a peak Dou Huang expert like Queen Medusa, who has already begun to dabble in the power of space, it is not difficult to sneak through without causing destruction.

After leaving the southern border, Queen Medusa changed direction and rushed towards the extreme south of the Northwest Continent, finally arriving at Blackwater Ravine just before dawn.

According to the information provided by the journal copy, she successfully salvaged a scorched, lifeless snake body from a location within Blackwater Ravine.

"Bang!"

With a palm strike, she destroyed the snake body, and Medusa raised her hand to grasp a magical core that emitted a faint seven-colored light but had cracks on its surface.

"It's real!" Medusa suppressed her excitement and swept her gaze toward a spot: "Come out, you little thing."

A seven-colored, illusory snake shadow emerged, circled around Medusa, and was obediently brought under her control.

"I must find a way to have more contact with Xiao Ting, ideally making him write my name in the Diary every day!" Medusa's eyes were fiery, like a White Snake Spirit about to swallow Xu Xian.

What she did not know was that all of this was seen by a mysterious expert wearing a black robe.

This expert took out a piece of paper emitting a strange light, wrote a string of concise content on it, and then set it on fire.

"Miss."

At the Xiao Family of Wutan City, a woman in a black robe appeared beside the just-awakened Xun'er and knelt on one knee.

"Aunt Ling, did you receive any news?" Xun'er wore a gentle smile.

"I just received two pieces of news." The woman replied: "Ling Yue sent news that Medusa left the southern part of the Jia Ma Empire and traveled all the way to Blackwater Ravine in the extreme south of the Northwest Continent. She purposefully found the corpse of a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python that had failed its evolution and obtained the broken Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python magical core and its remnant soul."

"Ling Mei returned with a message not long ago; last night, after Xiao Yi Xian arrived in Wutan City with the Wan Yao Pharmacy caravan from Qingshan Town, she checked into an inn and did not go out. Just this morning, after asking the inn waiter, she headed to your favorite Yuhua Hall on West Street."

When speaking of the second piece of news, a strange look flashed in the woman's eyes; she felt that this matter did not seem like a coincidence.

The Miss's instructions were also strange.

"The future Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python has now obtained the legacy of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python."

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

Two thoughts crossed Xun'er's mind.

After thinking for a moment, she said: "Aunt Ling, have Old Ling secretly guard Brother Xiao Ting. I won't be eating breakfast with him this morning; we will go to Yuhua Hall."

She would go to see Xiao Yi Xian, who must also have a journal copy (observation volume).

Let's see what kind of "unresolved regret" this is!
