Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 187 I Once Thought I Was a Genius

Pei Xia, along with Lu Li and Han Youzhi, actually stayed at the He family's house.

Why not stay here? A guesthouse is free, isn't it?

Fortunately, Pei Xia wasn't really blinded by lust. He drank a whole gourd of wine in the room and then asked the He family to arrange another guest room for him when he went out.

For several days afterward, he didn't even bother Han Youzhi.

In her view, this might not be a bad thing.

Since encountering Qiu Sheng in Changjun and obtaining four jade tablets, Han Youzhi has been finding opportunities to be alone every day, going to Qiongxiao Yuyu to refine calculation cores. Until yesterday, she finally achieved her goal of thirty-five calculation cores.

In the guest room, she took out two magical nails from under her skirt, rubbed them between her hands, her eyes filled with reluctance, but in the end, she dimmed her light and put the two precious magical artifacts into the jade.

Then she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and immersed herself in the celestial realm.

Thirty-five abacus cores and two rare martial arts artifacts were the price she had agreed upon with someone beforehand.

About an incense stick later, Han Youzhi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, trembled and opened her eyes again.

Suppressing her excitement, she ran her hand over the jade pendant at her waist, a flash of emerald light, and a delicate little box landed in her hand.

She tried her best to suppress the trembling in her fingertips, opened the lid of the small box, and there lay quietly on the fine velvet, a pill with nine jade patterns swirling around it.

"The Immortal's Guidance" is a rare elixir that only a master of the Seven Realms could obtain by chance. In terms of grading, although it is not divinely bestowed, it is still an extremely precious item that cannot be easily obtained by human hands.

This pill is completely useless to other cultivators at the Transformation Realm, as its greatest effect is to strengthen their divine sense.

However, the so-called "divine consciousness" is something that can only be possessed by those at the realm of celestial consciousness.

Han Youzhi was the only one who, with the help of the treasures of Luoshen Peak, advanced to the Heavenly Consciousness Realm by taking advantage of the formation of the Zhangsheng Palace. Although her cultivation level plummeted after being expelled from the Zhangsheng Palace by Luo Xian and she lost her Heavenly Consciousness, the divine consciousness she once possessed was still retained in her body, but she could not use it due to her limited cultivation level.

There are many highly skilled people in the Jade Palace. Han Youzhi once used twenty calculation cores to inquire from a high-level cultivator about how to restore cultivation in a situation like hers.

The answer we got was this "Guiding Hands of the Immortals".

If her divine sense expands and can break through the limitations of her body to reconnect with her spiritual palace, then she will not have to suffer through arduous cultivation and can return to the Heavenly Consciousness Realm in one fell swoop!

Han Youzhi took several deep breaths to calm her excitement before carefully placing the small box back into the jade pendant and storing it properly.

The elixir was hard to come by, and she had to find a time when the timing and circumstances were perfect before re-entering the Heavenly Consciousness.

I got out of bed, picked up the teapot, and gulped down two mouthfuls of cold tea, gradually clearing my mind.

She knew this wasn't all good news. It was true that Qiongxiao Yuyu was incredibly powerful; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to find the way so quickly, or even directly obtain such a precious elixir as the Immortal's Guidance.

However, there aren't many Heavenly Consciousness Realm cultivators in the Nine Provinces, and even fewer who fall from their realm without suffering damage to their divine consciousness. If she were to trade away her signature magic weapon again, and someone on the other side of the Jade Sky were to investigate the identity of that "round-faced, bearded man," she would probably find it difficult to hide.

I just hope we have no past grudges or present conflicts, and that she won't come looking for me.

After tidying herself up, Han Youzhi pushed open the door. Just as she stepped over the threshold, a flash of light appeared beneath her feet, and everything went black. A twisting, weightless sensation came from all around her.

Then, the next second, she found herself in the open space of the He family's backyard, standing on the side of a corridor in the back courtyard.

She blinked blankly, and a crisp voice came from beside her feet: "Sister Han, sit down."

Han Youzhi looked down and saw Lu Li sitting by the corridor, swinging her short legs, holding half a melon in her hands, and eating it with gusto.

She almost thought she had been ambushed.

Gathering her skirt, Han Youzhi sat down next to Pear, took the other half of the melon from her, hesitated for a moment, took a small bite, and then slowly said, "How did I..."

"Oh, I put a talisman array at your door."

"A rune array?" "That's it."

Pear lifted one of its bottoms and pulled out a piece of yellow paper from underneath, on which were drawn intricate, twisted patterns in cinnabar.

"The whole formation emphasizes unity. I tried to draw it before, but the smaller it was, the more difficult it became. So I changed my approach and drew talismans, and then put together talismans with different patterns to form a small formation."

Han Youzhi was also a master of the Su school, and quickly understood Lu Li's meaning. She couldn't help but look at the little one with astonishment.

Previously in the underground palace, she was able to break through to the sixth realm and complete the formation in such a short time. Han Youzhi already knew that Lu Li had outstanding talent in the path of the Su Master.

But unexpectedly, this girl was even able to come up with such a clever method.

Like restrictions, talismans are a variation of formations, serving as tools to help practitioners cast spells in battle. Although they cannot contain very powerful spells, they are convenient and quick.

Based on this, it seems that Lu Li inscribed her own magic on the talisman and then combined it into a small teleportation array.

Hiss! With Han's immature cultivation level, he didn't even realize when he stepped on it!

Looking at the creature in front of her, dangling its short legs, Han Youzhi truly felt that this girl was simply a monster.

However, before she could even finish thinking about it, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the open space in the courtyard ahead, drawing her attention to it.

Pei Xia is practicing her martial arts.

His swordplay always carried a clumsy and simple quality that laymen couldn't understand, but the myriad variations of his moves and his mastery of spiritual power and even sword energy were something Han Youzhi had never seen before in all these years.

Having spent quite a bit of time together, Pei Xia no longer carries the air of a mysterious charlatan like Sui Zhiwo or E Kui, so Han Youzhi sometimes forgets about her.

Actually, this person is the real monster.

His physique was incredibly strong, even surpassing his own Transformation Realm. In an instant, he achieved a Qi of 720, which was extremely pure, and his inner cauldron was as deep as the ocean.

That's not all; he's even a beginner with astonishing computing power!

Han Youzhi realized that all that deep breathing and herbal tea was useless; if he really wanted to calm down, he should just come and check on the master and apprentice.

Pei Xia used the training sword kept in the backyard of the He family. After sweating slightly, he stopped, threw the sword, and it landed accurately on the rack.

Seeing him walk back, Han Youzhi couldn't help but ask, "Why have I never seen you practice martial arts before?"

“I didn’t dare to practice before, afraid that I would become too strong,” Pei Xia said.

Han Youzhi rolled her eyes and pouted: Am I stupid to believe you?

But it's true.

Thanks to the blessing of the three Heart Flames, Pei Xia's dependence on popularity has begun to decrease. Although there was an accident in the underground palace, objectively speaking, as long as he is not too weak, the possibility of him being controlled by the Calamity Pig is lower than when he was in Weishan.

This is why he dared to attempt to advance towards the realm of profound mystery.

"Unfortunately, my spiritual power is too profound. At this rate, I don't know how much longer it will take to refine it before I can break through."

Pei Xia took a towel from Li Zi, wiped her sweat, and sighed from the bottom of her heart.

Han Youzhi, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. She lost her grip and crushed the melon: "That's enough!"

Pei Xia didn't pay attention and muttered to herself, "It might require a bit of favorable timing and location..."

Why does this sound so familiar?
Just as Lu Li was happily munching on a melon, and Pei Xia and Han Youzhi were whispering amongst themselves, footsteps suddenly came from the other end of the corridor.

A servant from the He family peeked over and called out to Pei Xia and the other two, "Gentlemen, the old master requests your presence. He says the matter of going to sea has been settled."
