232: Chapter 232 Methods to Quickly Improve Cultivation Level
After reading the introduction to Heart Demon Lightning, Xiao Yuchen eagerly retrieved the second form of the Thunder Control Technique from his System Inventory. With the help of the System, Xiao Yuchen quickly learned the second form of the Thunder Control Technique, Heart Demon Lightning.
Having finished all this, Xiao Yuchen finally left the cave. Because they knew that the Green Lotus Demonic Fire could control a person's mind, Long Aotian and the others did not dare to approach the holy fire and had been waiting outside. Seeing Xiao Yuchen emerge, the five of them walked up to greet him.
"How was it? Elder Yuchen, did you succeed?" Long Aotian asked with concern.
"Yes, it was a success. I have already refined the Green Lotus Demonic Fire."
Xiao Yuchen did not hide anything; in this Xiyue Prefecture, there was no longer anyone who could pose a threat to him.
"Elder Yuchen is mighty! I knew you would be able to do it."
"Hey, can you guys stop looking at me like that? I don't like men."
If Dongfang Qingcheng or Wen Ruyu were looking at him like this, Xiao Yuchen might have felt a little proud, but the fact that Long Aotian actually wanted to become his sycophant was something he truly could not accept.
"What about Wan'er? She is a woman, and she has admired you for a long time. In private, she often praises you in front of us."
Wan'er's name was Lin Wan'er, and she was the only woman in the top five of the Inner Court. However, she was introverted and always hid behind Long Aotian and the others, not liking to speak much; Xiao Yuchen hadn't even noticed her.
Previously, Lin Wan'er had always regarded Long Aotian as her idol and had even considered becoming Long Aotian's Dao Companion. But ever since she met Xiao Yuchen, she felt that Long Aotian didn't seem so outstanding anymore.
"Get lost! Don't joke with me about such things."
Hearing Xiao Yuchen's refusal, Lin Wan'er felt bitter inside, but she also knew that she was simply not worthy of Xiao Yuchen, so she had never deliberately tried to show herself off and just silently watched over Xiao Yuchen.
...
After everyone teased each other for a few moments, Xiao Yuchen looked at the Golden-Winged Heavenly Tigers and said: "We are leaving now. Once I find the transformation herb, I will help you refine the transformation pill, and then you will be able to turn into humans."
Upon hearing this, the two Golden-Winged Heavenly Tigers knelt before Xiao Yuchen once more. This scene stunned everyone present; so, their Elder really could communicate with Yao Beasts.
"Let's go, back to the Qingyun Sword Sect."
Xiao Yuchen said this and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Long Aotian.
"Elder Yuchen, we cannot go back yet. I don't know why, but the Spirit Medicine in the Monster Forest has disappeared. We still haven't found the heavenly spirit fruit, and we want to go look in other places."
"There is no need. The Spirit Medicine in the Monster Forest was all taken into the cave by the Golden-Winged Heavenly Tigers. They are in my hands now, and the heavenly spirit fruit is among them. The Spirit Medicine for refining the void spirit pill has been gathered."
"Really? Then what you said before... You are so cunning." Long Aotian gave Xiao Yuchen a thumbs up.
"Is that how you speak to an Elder? What do you know? This is called wisdom. Those Spirit Medicines were originally given to me by the Golden-Winged Heavenly Tigers; why should I share them with others? The fact that I agreed to let the people from Fire Cloud Valley try to collect the holy fire first was already giving them Face."
"Yes, yes, yes, Elder Yuchen is wise. You gave Fire Cloud Valley some Face; they can't blame anyone else if they don't have the ability themselves. Seeing them lose Face and still owe the Qingyun Sword Sect a favor is just so satisfying. From now on, Fire Cloud Valley surely won't dare to be arrogant in front of the Qingyun Sword Sect."
Everyone laughed as they left the Monster Forest and returned to the Qingyun Sword Sect. Seeing them return, Sect Master Hua Yuxi was also very happy; indeed, there was nothing that Xiao Yuchen could not solve.
"How was it? Did you find the heavenly spirit fruit?" Coming before the group, Sect Master Hua Yuxi asked first.
"Found it. The medicinal materials for refining the void spirit pill have been gathered; we can start refining now."
"Master, you don't know how amazing Elder Yuchen is."
Long Aotian came before Sect Master Hua Yuxi and told her everything that happened inside the Monster Forest in detail.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuchen finally realized why the secrets on him could not be hidden; this guy's mouth was just too fast, saying everything as if all the credit belonged to him.
Sure enough, upon hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, Sect Master Hua Yuxi looked at Xiao Yuchen with a blooming smile.
Xiao Yuchen could ignore Long Aotian, but he could not ignore Sect Master Hua Yuxi. This Sect Master's charm was not inferior to Wen Ruyu's and Dongfang Qingcheng's.
"Sect Master, can you please not look at me like that? My little heart cannot take it." Xiao Yuchen turned his head away, not daring to look Sect Master Hua Yuxi in the eyes.
"You five should go back first. Once Elder Yuchen finishes refining the Medicinal Pill, he will send it to you. Elder Yuchen, come with me for a moment."
Hearing Sect Master Hua Yuxi's words, Xiao Yuchen's heart hammered. He didn't understand why the Sect Master was looking for him. He felt a bit nervous inside, but he still followed Sect Master Hua Yuxi away.
"Hey, do you guys think Master and Elder Yuchen are a good match? Although Master is a bit older, for a Cultivator, age is not an issue. Besides, my Master's beauty is not inferior to those two young ladies, right?" Seeing the two leaving figures, Long Aotian had a sudden thought.
"Hmm, if Elder Yuchen really gets together with the Sect Master, then our Qingyun Sword Sect can definitely become the head of the Four Great Sects."
"Yes, yes, yes, I also think this is reliable. I heard that Elder Yuchen wants to head to other prefectures. If he doesn't come back then, what will happen to the Qingyun Sword Sect? So we should find a way to make the Sect Master his Dao Companion before Elder Yuchen leaves; that way, no matter where Elder Yuchen goes, he will always come back."
"No, Elder Yuchen already has two women. This is unfair to the Sect Master," Lin Wan'er suddenly spoke up.
"Hey, Wan'er, are you saying that because you feel it's unfair to you? I know you like Elder Yuchen, but you have to consider the big picture. Elder Yuchen is so capable; how could two Dao Companions be enough? I think this idea is feasible, but I have to test Master's tone first."
Xiao Yuchen naturally did not know that Long Aotian was leading a scheme against him. If he knew what they were thinking, Xiao Yuchen would probably put some laxatives into the void spirit pill to torment these guys to death.
Xiao Yuchen didn't know where Sect Master Hua Yuxi was taking him, so he just followed behind her and entered a room.
Just after walking into the room, Xiao Yuchen noticed something unusual, because this was actually Sect Master Hua Yuxi's boudoir. The faint, lingering fragrance emanating from the room made Xiao Yuchen feel somewhat distracted.
"Sect... Sect Master, this is your boudoir, right? Why did you bring me here?"
Xiao Yuchen's forehead was sweating a bit. Wasn't it said that no one was allowed to enter the Sect Master's boudoir? What kind of situation was this?
"What? Are you afraid that I will eat you? I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of as a grown man?" Sect Master Hua Yuxi asked with a smile.
"It's not about being afraid, but could you just tell me what is going on? I feel uneasy."
Xiao Yuchen consciously took a step back, trying his best to keep his distance from Sect Master Hua Yuxi.
"Just now, your two women went to Elder Qing Feng to collect their promotion rewards. I want to know, how did they improve so much? Did you help them?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuchen was clearly stunned. He didn't expect that Dongfang Qingcheng and Wen Ruyu would actually run to Elder Qing Feng to collect Spirit Stones. The key point was that Sect Master Hua Yuxi found out about it; how was he supposed to explain this?
