If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1132 There are no invincible supernatural powers, but there are invincible people.
Xiaoyu visited the main hall of Yangxian Hall once before.
This experience was even better than the last one.
She wished her "Great Destroyer Dad" was a system that could emit a "ding-dong" activation sound.
Basically, the tinkling sound kept going off as she walked.
But she kept her mouth shut and her head down the whole time!
Without even calling out "Grandpa and Mom," the Great Destroyer Father was automatically activated. This is the effect of taking the "Hundred Herbs Pill" and allowing the Purple Mansion Divine Power to evolve once.
The activation threshold has been significantly lowered.
Xiaoyu was secretly pleased, but she didn't get carried away.
She lowered her head and remained silent, trying to minimize her presence and reduce the frequency of triggering the Great Annihilation Father. The "Luoshu Divine Turtle Shell" in her arms would occasionally twitch.
The frequency of the jump is exactly the same as the frequency triggered by the Great Destroyer.
Basically, whenever a "godfather" actively triggers the Great Destruction Father, the Divine Turtle Shell twitches, and the "River Map and Luo Book" automatically activate, using celestial techniques to try to obscure the "crisis sense" of the person involved caused by the Great Destruction Father being triggered.
Xiaoyu deliberately reduced the frequency of triggering the Great Annihilation Father's attack in order to allow her Heavenly Secret Technique to have time to conceal the Heavenly Secret.
After all, the Heavenly Secrets Technique is limited, while the Godfather's trigger speed has no upper limit.
After walking a few steps, Xiaoyu arrived in front of Steward Zhao.
"Go to the dining hall, to room number C in the Tianzi section. There's a pot of phoenix marrow soup there; it should be ready soon. Bring it over and serve it to our distinguished guests," said the head steward.
"Yes, ma'am." Ziqi and Xiaoxuan received the order and immediately left the hall. Once outside, they used their Taoist escape techniques, their steps light and swift, and soon arrived at the dining hall, which was a full five miles away from the banquet venue.
The Li family's dining hall was even more magnificent than the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City that Xiaoyu had seen in his previous life.
It stands eight stories tall, with pillars cast from refined iron. It contains earth fire and heaven fire, drawn from the bottomless pit and the heavens above, respectively, and enters the Bagua "alchemy furnace" in the kitchen room.
The kitchen is divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Man.
The top-tier kitchen was responsible for the meals of the most distinguished members of the family, and its cooking techniques, particularly the fire-cooking methods, were the most advanced.
The Earth-class kitchen was responsible for the meals of Li Si's retainers, and delicacies from land and sea, as well as rare and precious herbs, were commonplace.
The Human Kitchen was responsible for taking care of the Li family's "own people," such as the butler, guards, and high-ranking servants.
"You've come at the perfect time! The Phoenix Marrow Soup is ready. Before your vital energy dissipates, quickly offer it to the Prime Minister and all the distinguished guests!"
Xiao Xuan explained her purpose at the door, and the manager of the restaurant tossed them a tag, telling them to hurry upstairs to "serve the dishes".
"Boom!" Xiaoxuan and Ziqi entered the 20-square-meter "manual elevator." Downstairs, a strongman who practiced physical arts and possessed innate superhuman strength pulled the chain, sending them to the top floor.
Upon arriving at room number C of the Heavenly Palace, they handed over the tokens that the steward had just given them, and a fat Taoist priest extinguished the heavenly fire of the "Five Crane Cauldrons".
"You two carry the cauldron over there!" The fat Taoist was sweating profusely and refused to move, leaving the two boys to handle it themselves.
Xiao Xuan took an "X"-shaped metal pliers from the doorway, placed them under the three legs of the Five Crane Cauldron, and together with Xiao Yu, each holding two handles, they carried the huge bronze cauldron, which was 1.5 meters in diameter and 2.2 meters high, out.
Both of them had cultivated Taoist arts and immortal martial arts. Although the cauldron weighed ten thousand catties, it remained steady and stable throughout the journey without shaking or swaying.
Place the cauldron in the center of the hall, circulate your Taoist internal energy, and gently pat the backs of the five cranes on the edge of the cauldron. Immediately, thick white steam rises from the cranes' nostrils.
The white aroma was incredibly sweet, a fragrance Xiaoyu had never smelled before, with the elegance of floral scents and the richness of meaty aromas.
I never get tired of smelling it; in fact, the more I smell it, the more intoxicated I become.
"Glug glug~~" A line of golden-red liquid flowed from the crane's beak and fell into the emerald green jade bowl.
The broth was thick like jelly, and a faint white steam lingered around the rim of the bowl for a long time.
—Damn it, it really is Phoenix Marrow! Phoenix Marrow, along with more than a dozen kinds of immortal herbs, has been refined into a spiritual essence in a "mixed state of gas and liquid." It melts upon entering the mouth and is immediately absorbed by the dantian—a precious medicine indeed!
Although Xiaoyu had never eaten it before, she had a keen eye and saw through the essence of the Phoenix Marrow Soup at a glance.
She was so tempted that she almost couldn't help but swallow.
Even the servant girl Xiaoxuan beside her held back.
Because they were "superior servants" who had undergone special training and passed tests.
"Your Excellency, please have some soup." Xiao Yu brought Li Si a serving.
This time, no "celestial child" came out to cause trouble, and Li Si was completely unaware.
Xiaoyu glanced at Xiaoxuan, then rushed ahead of him, picked up another bowl of soup, and handed it to "Peng X" next to Peng Shisan.
The exact ranking of this "Peng X" is unknown, but it is certain that he has mastered the "Peng Cheng Wan Li" Pro supernatural power, and his public identity is the "Tianyi Daoist Master" of the East Sea.
He, Peng Shisan (Ji Daoren), and another immortal with the Taoist name "Hei Hai Jushi" were collectively known as the "Three Friends of Lao Bo".
According to them, they live on a fairy mountain called "Laobo Island" at the end of the East China Sea.
Li Si was the host, sitting facing east. There were five rows of seats on each side of him.
The "Three Friends of Lao Bo" held a relatively high position, sitting in the first row and first column to Li Si's left.
The first row on the right features a celestial being with the Taoist name "Qiumingzi" and the famous alchemist Xu Fu.
The Five Crane Cauldrons were placed in the center of the hall. Xiaoyu rushed to the left first, while Xiaoxuan took the bowl and went to the right.
Xu Fu had already visited the Imperial Observatory, and the three friends of Lao Bo seemed to have no intention of participating in the selection of the Grand Tutor. They didn't even go to the Imperial Observatory to watch the excitement that day.
"Master Immortal, please have some soup!" Two young servants simultaneously brought bowls of soup.
Tianyi Daoist and Qiu Mingzi both reached out to receive it at the same time.
At first, the two immortals remained indifferent, showing no excitement whatsoever for "just a bowl" of phoenix marrow soup.
They reached out and took the soup bowl, then subconsciously smelled it. At the same time, their expressions changed slightly.
A thoughtful look appeared in Master Tianyi's eyes, then his gaze sharpened as he was about to glare at the boy opposite him.
"Oh no, someone is spying on us. It seems similar to last time!"
The man next to him, "Ji Daoren," suddenly changed his expression and said in a low voice.
The celestial being Qiu Mingzi, who was opposite him, was stunned for a moment before bursting into a rage and shouting, "No need to say more, it must be that Yu Fengxian again!"
"Is Yu Fengxian spying on us?" The immortal guests in the hall exclaimed in disbelief. "Could it be that she has resorted to her old tricks again and sneaked into the Prime Minister's residence?"
Li Si's face was grim, and he looked around sharply.
"It's not inside the house, it's outside." Qiu Mingzi sneered, "It seems to be the 'Heavenly Eye' technique that uses dragon energy to discern right from wrong!"
I thought it was some kind of brilliant technique, capable of seeing everything without anyone noticing. Hmph, with such intense dragon energy fluctuations, this technique is nothing special!
Many immortals in the living room looked embarrassed. "Is there any dragon energy fluctuation? I don't think I felt anything. Were you not looking at us, but only at Fellow Daoist Qiu Mingzi and Fellow Daoist Ji?"
“Let’s go out and take a look! If it really is Yu Fengxian, she must be flying in the sky, looking down over Xianyang,” a fairy exclaimed.
Li Si was the first to leave his seat, walk out of the hall, and gaze in the direction indicated by the immortals.
Sure enough, on the smooth, silvery surface of the moon, there was a very small dot.
Seemingly sensing their gaze, the small dot quickly disappeared.
The dot was tiny, but the distinguished guests in the main hall were different from the "extraordinary people" in the courtyard; they were all true immortals who had cultivated great supernatural powers. Once their spiritual eyes were activated, even a tiny dot thousands of feet in the sky could be magnified to the finest detail.
"It really is Yu Fengxian. She is using her Heavenly Eye to scan Xianyang City again!"
Even Li Si could see clearly that it was Grand Tutor Yu, who was wearing a star-patterned robe.
His expression returned to normal, and he waved to everyone, signaling them to go back and continue the feast. "The Phoenix Marrow Soup must be drunk while it's hot; once it cools down, its spiritual essence dissipates."
After the distinguished guests followed him back to the hall and took their seats, Li Si looked around and said confidently and slowly, "Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry. All the distinguished guests of my Li residence will certainly not be disturbed by Yu Fengxian."
She stood at the top of the sky, hiding in the distance, quietly gazing into the distance.
Just ignore her.
Of course, if any of you have a secret technique that allows you to compete with her in supernatural powers from a distance and break through her ability to discern right from wrong with her divine eye, that would be even better.
I should congratulate them!
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the immortals Qiu Mingzi, Xu Fu, and Lao Bo San You.
Xu Fu pondered and said, "It would be unwise to fight Yu Fengxian in Xianyang City."
It is not advisable to clash with her, at least as long as she still holds the reins of power.
Anyway, she could only spy from a distance and couldn't sneak into the heavily guarded Li residence. Even if she did manage to sneak in, so what?
"We were just having a normal evening gathering, and she suddenly started a fight? Who was she going to hurt?"
Immediately, an immortal said, "Brother Junfang, haven't you heard? Yu Fengxian stole the power of the Chaos Demon God and cultivated a wicked demonic art."
It seems to be called "The Demon Eye Technique," and it's extremely eerie. Whenever she uses respectful terms like "father" or "mother" to address someone, she can cast a "demon curse," causing inexplicable misfortune to befall that person.
"Such a thing really happened? Are you sure?" Many of the immortals were hearing about it for the first time and were very skeptical.
"Why would using honorifics bring a curse? What kind of curse is this? I've never heard of it before!"
Xu Fu chuckled and said, "To be honest, this afternoon when I visited an old friend on Mount Hua, he did mention this matter to me."
The immortal nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, I also heard it from fellow Daoists on Mount Hua."
There shouldn't be any mistake.
The practice of 'honorific curses' has gained the approval of many powerful figures in the Heavenly Court, even the Holy Emperor of the Fire Cloud Cave.
"What kind of demonic power did Yu Fengxian absorb that is so evil?"
If she were to use a 'polite curse' to plot against us, we wouldn't be able to defend ourselves!
Who would have thought that honorifics could hide something so subtle? We would gladly accept honorifics.
"On the contrary, we become vigilant when faced with harsh words," a sage said worriedly.
Qiu Mingzi disagreed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Tian Congzi is overthinking it. Only supernatural abilities that are yet to be known by anyone can be impossible to defend against."
There are countless powerful beings in the Three Realms; any supernatural power or secret technique, once exposed, will eventually be cracked.
Tian Congzi exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that a great being has already broken Yu Fengxian's 'curse of honorifics'?"
"That was too fast! The news had barely spread, and I had only just learned of it, when her spell was already broken."
Akiko laughed and said, "It wasn't a powerful spell to begin with, so it's naturally very easy to break."
There's no need to create a special method.
The esoteric manuals we cultivate begin with the mantra for calming distracting thoughts and emptying the mind of desires.
"When facing Yu Fengxian, simply recite the mantra silently, guard your true self, and be free from desires and thoughts, just like this."
"Release your desires and your heart will be at peace; purify your heart and your spirit will be clear!"
He closed his eyes slightly, adopted the posture of facing the sky with his five hearts facing upwards, and recited the Xuanmen Heart Sutra.
Everyone stared at him with serious expressions, forgetting even to drink the phoenix marrow soup.
Xiaoyu also stared at Qiumingzi with her naked eyes, but glanced at "Purple Mansion" with her spiritual eye.
The "method of annihilation by Akiko" was prominently listed.
Even while he was showing off, the method of brute force had already been deduced.
They even completed three versions at once.
Xiao Yu resisted the urge to roll her eyes, her expression remaining calm and composed. Taking advantage of the opportune moment when Grand Tutor Yu was disrupting the guests' sense of crisis, she continued to serve the phoenix marrow soup to the distinguished guests.
"Master Immortal, please have some soup."
"Grand Ancestor, please have some soup."
"My lord, please have some soup."
Xiaoyu tried out various forms of address based on the different names and identities of the guests.
The result left her a little disappointed.
The only additional keyword that seems to trigger the Great Destruction of Dad is "Master".
"Master" can be triggered 100% of the time.
The "ancestral wisdom" is sometimes effective and sometimes not; the sample size is still insufficient, and further verification is needed.
To her delight, the conditions for triggering the Great Destruction of Dad were relaxed by more than double.
Previously, she had to take the initiative to address her parents as "Grandpa and Mom" (whether verbally or in writing), and the other party had to agree (they must genuinely acknowledge it, not just verbally agree without any real desire or thought) in order to trigger the Great Destruction of Dad.
Now she doesn't need to address him proactively, so the other party doesn't need to respond directly.
As long as the other person acknowledges that he is her grandparents or father, the Great Destruction of Father can be triggered.
For example, whether she was "Li Cheng" before or "Zhao Ziqi" now, she was a servant in the Li family.
In the main hall and garden outside Yangxian Hall, all the Qi cultivators are considered her "masters".
They were in a master-servant relationship.
When they see her and genuinely acknowledge that they are her "master," they can trigger the Great Destruction of Father.
If Xiaoyu were to become Li Si's son, Li You, he wouldn't need to call him "father." As soon as Li Si saw "him," he would recognize "him" as his own son and immediately trigger the Great Annihilation of Father.
Very domineering!
Of course, as Qiumingzi said, once the supernatural powers within the Pangu world are exposed, a way to break them will definitely be found.
Now that the Great Destroyer's father hasn't been fully exposed, the "Curse of Honorifics" has been deliberately spread by that bastard Heavenly Court.
Even the Qi cultivators in Xianyang City knew about it.
Before long, all Qi cultivators in the Three Realms will know that when facing Yu Fengxian's "respectful words," they must be free from desire and thought.
