45: Leaving Los Angeles, a beautiful lady saw me off
Li Daoxuan decided that he would hand over the Wanbao Pavilion to the Xiao Family Sisters to manage from now on.
The elder sister Xiao Binger could take charge of the Sword Tomb, and the younger sister Xiao Linger could take charge of the mysterious broken Pill Furnace, so the Wanbao Pavilion would no longer lack Spiritual Artifacts and Medicinal Pills.
As for carving Formation Plates, he could make more when he had nothing to do. As for drawing Talismans, he wondered when he would learn?
"Right! Improve my Alchemy skill!"
Boom!
A complex memory of Alchemy flooded his mind, including all second-tier Pill Formulas.
Li Daoxuan's Alchemy level also rose to the peak of second-tier.
"Absorb five hundred years of Cultivation for me!"
Rumble~
A vast and pure Spiritual Qi poured down, and Li Daoxuan's Cultivation rapidly increased, but it came fast and went even faster.
Li Daoxuan had already prepared himself mentally, and as he expected, his Cultivation only increased from the Middle Stage of the Golden Core Realm to the Late Stage of the Golden Core Realm, still a small step away from Great Perfection.
Then, Li Daoxuan tried out the broken Pill Furnace.
This broken Pill Furnace would subconsciously refine Medicinal Pills; he only needed to add the Medicinal Materials according to the Pill Formula and continuously infuse Fire attribute Spiritual Qi.
The refining speed was quite fast, but currently, it could only refine first-tier and second-tier Medicinal Pills.
The Sword Tomb was similar; it could nurture various Spiritual Swords, some even with attributes.
It wasn't until evening when Li Daoxuan's door was knocked that he came out.
"Li Dage, what have you been secretly doing in your room? You're being so mysterious!"
"Hehe! You two come in first, I'll show you a big treasure."
Xiao Linger and Xiao Binger were no longer little girls; they immediately thought crookedly. Xiao Linger rolled her eyes at Li Daoxuan and said, "Bah! Li Dage, you're too bad, I'm ignoring you."
"Sister, let's go!"
Li Daoxuan: "???"
Stunned for a moment, Li Daoxuan didn't give the two girls a chance to leave and dragged them into the secret room, one in each hand.
The two little girls didn't resist, but they kept their heads down, not daring to look at Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan dotingly rubbed Xiao Linger's head and teased, "Little girl, what are you thinking?"
"I really have a big treasure to show you!"
"Are you thinking crookedly?"
Now the two little girls were even more embarrassed. Could they be blamed?
Li Daoxuan took out the Sword Tomb and the broken Pill Furnace. The Sword Tomb was like a sword mountain, shrinking and floating in Li Daoxuan's palm.
The broken Pill Furnace looked genuinely shabby on the outside; Li Daoxuan felt a bit embarrassed taking it out. Li Daoxuan had originally wanted to repair it, but this Pill Furnace actually disliked the Materials he found, calling them trash.
However, it was fine to have it; he would make do with it for now.
"This is the Sword Tomb. I've decided to hand it over to Bing'er to manage!"
"Me?"
"This Pill Furnace, I've decided to give it to Ling'er to keep!"
"I get a share too?"
Although the Sword Tomb and the Pill Furnace couldn't be discerned in terms of rank, the two girls guessed that they were definitely extraordinary. Li Daoxuan actually let them manage such precious Magic Treasures?
How much trust did he have in them?!
Xiao Linger asked curiously, "Li Dage, I'm not an Alchemist, so giving me a Pill Furnace is useless, right?"
"Hehe! With these two Magic Treasures, Bing'er can become an Artifact Refiner, and Ling'er can become an Alchemist."
"Really?"
The two girls obviously didn't believe it; after all, Artifact Refiners and Alchemists were very rare professions.
"Come, let me first tell you how to use them..."
Xiao Binger said in disbelief, "How can there be such Magic Treasures in this world?"
"I've never heard of it either!"
Li Daoxuan didn't explain but said solemnly, "You two must take good care of them, understand?"
"Mm-hmm!"
The two girls were also smart. After putting away the Magic Treasures, they looked at Li Daoxuan with anticipation.
Li Daoxuan: "That's all!"
Xiao Linger couldn't help but ask, "Li Dage, then... then tonight..."
For several consecutive days afterward, Li Daoxuan didn't go out. Of course, every night, the two little girls would sneak in for various reasons.
Li Daoxuan used these few days to frantically refine Medicinal Pills, Spiritual Artifacts, and Formation Plates under the time acceleration of the Tongtian Pagoda.
Because Li Daoxuan felt it was time for him to go home.
Before dawn that day, Li Daoxuan got up, while the Xiao Family Sisters stood silently behind him, not saying a word.
"Alright, I'm leaving!"
Xiao Linger said tearfully, "Li Dage, can you not leave? We can't bear to part with you!"
Xiao Binger: "Ling'er, shut up!"
Li Daoxuan turned around, embraced the two sisters, and comforted them, "Don't worry, I'll be back very soon. Take care!"
"Li Dage, take care!"
Li Daoxuan didn't let the two sisters see him off; it wasn't a life-and-death separation, so there was no need to be sentimental!
Under the cover of night, Li Daoxuan left Luo City.
Li Daoxuan was just about to release his Flying Sword, intending to travel by sword.
A pleasant voice from behind interrupted Li Daoxuan's actions.
"Are you just leaving without saying goodbye?"
"Do you still consider me a friend?"
Li Daoxuan turned around, embarrassed, and said, "Miss Luo, why are you here?"
"Hmph! I came to see off a certain heartless and unrighteous person!"
Li Daoxuan rubbed his nose and said, "This isn't a life-and-death separation, so why the send-off!"
Luo Qingcheng asked, "By the way, where do you live? If I want to find you in the future, where do I go?"
"Tianshui City, Li Manor!"
"I remember. You can go now!"
Li Daoxuan feigned sadness and said, "Sigh! I thought you would be reluctant and try to make me stay!"
"Hmm?"
As soon as Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he immediately departed on his Flying Sword, and his speed was incredible.
Luo Qingcheng wasn't angry; she had some understanding of Li Daoxuan's personality. He loved to joke around and sometimes had a glib tongue.
Li Daoxuan was in a good mood; his gains from this trip to Luo City were immense.
Not only would he no longer worry about Cultivation resources in the future, but he also acquired many rare treasures, especially rare treasures of heaven and earth suitable for children.
Just like the Creation Spiritual Liquid, it was very suitable for his eldest son, Li Chen.
Li Daoxuan felt that the poor Spiritual Root of his eldest son, Li Chen, was most likely due to himself.
This made Li Daoxuan feel guilty towards his eldest son, so he had always wanted to improve his eldest son's Aptitude and elevate his Spiritual Root's grade.
Suddenly, Li Daoxuan had a premonition, as if he was being constantly spied upon.
He hadn't noticed it right after leaving Luo City, but now he felt something was off.
Since entering the Late Stage of the Golden Core, Li Daoxuan's six senses had become more acute, and his Divine Sense had grown stronger; he definitely wouldn't have sensed it wrong.
Li Daoxuan showed no abnormality and continued to fly quickly, but he had already raised his guard internally, with the Tongtian Pagoda ready to be summoned to protect himself at any moment.
After flying for some more time, the hidden person still didn't appear.
Li Daoxuan even started to doubt himself; this fellow was too good at hiding.
Since you won't come out, then I'll quietly wait for you to come out and see who you are.
Li Daoxuan hovered in the air and jokingly said, "Which Fellow Daoist is so reluctant to see me go that they've accompanied me all the way?"
"......"
Silence, complete silence!
Li Daoxuan couldn't bear it anymore and decided to trick him!
Li Daoxuan: "Come out, I already know who you are, you are..."
