The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 401 - 237 Yearning_2

"What others say, you just believe anything!" She was so angry that she coughed twice more. How could this guy not side with his own people over principles? "You even used me to test out a newly acquired Magic Artifact!"

"I was wrong!" He spoke in a low voice, nearly sweating. Having not heard her voice for over half a year, he actually found himself hoping she would scold him a bit more.

Poor Quan Shifang, a gentle and refined gentleman indeed, but always seems to forget his principles when it comes to her.

She was about to speak again when suddenly Changtian’s cold snort was heard at her ear. The sound was bone-chilling cold, making her shiver uncontrollably. The jealous one was unhappy; she had to be careful not to face unprecedented crisis after returning to the God Demon Prison...

"A new Magic Artifact you’ve obtained? Could it be the treasures that appeared in the world today, that you’ve managed to secure?" She quickly changed the subject.

Quan Shifang was clever too, understanding that she was dropping the issue, he slightly smiled, and the dim room seemed to brighten.

Alas, why are these men one more enchantingly beautiful than the next? She lamented inwardly, only to hear him say, "Several months ago, the elders in my sect predicted the emergence of the treasures and sent me to wait for them. There were two treasures that appeared, the ’Purple Lightning’ sword was obtained by me, and the ’Qing Shuang’ sword went to Miss Jin from Jishi Building. The power of Purple Lightning is enormous, and its speed is quick, otherwise I really wouldn’t have been able to catch your White Bird. Also, this happened yesterday. You were unconscious for a whole day."

"Just two pieces?"

"Indeed."

Damn! If both treasures have owners already, then why am I hiding with all my might, nobody will come for my bad luck, right?

Had I known this earlier, how could I have collided with those fools at the Tianlan Courtyard?

But wait, what about the object she had encountered on the way, wasn’t that also a treasure? She blinked, puzzled.

"Spiritual Treasures choose their own owners. The one that flew to your hands might have its whereabouts still unknown to others." Changtian, knowing her confusion, spoke up to answer, yet he seemed very displeased.

She "Hmm" in response: "There must be many people who desire these two treasures, how did you manage to get your hands on it?"

Quan Shifang’s face reddened: "The elders in my sect led a team to protect me. The Purple Lightning Sword erupted out the first time it thundered in the treasure mountain, and it took us half a day to subdue it."

She got it, after all, it was about who had the bigger fist, it was forcefully snatched. Even someone like Quan Shifang, who is character decent, has accepted such a method, it seems this is the way of the world.

Quan Shifang hesitated for a second, but still couldn’t help asking: "Miss Ning, how did you suddenly gain cultivation?" He should have let her rest as she was physically and mentally drained, but the question was too important to not ask.

Half a year ago, when they parted ways in Siping County, she clearly had no Divine Skills as a mortal. How much time had passed and Ning Xiaoxian suddenly possessed Divine Skills. While she was unconscious, he had also released Spiritual Energy to explore her breath, discovering that what flowed through her body was demonic power, and there was even an inner core in her Dantian!

The color of this inner core was different from that of a regular Golden Core cultivator’s inner core; it was a light purple. After thinking it over, with his experience, Ning Xiaoxian’s cultivation surely wasn’t at the Golden Core Stage, so her inner core could only be a Demon Core. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

What kind of fortuitous encounter had this girl come across to practice Demon Cultivation in a human body? Without a Spirit Root, entering the Dao in this way, though inconceivable, might not be impossible. But who was the one who helped her condense this Demon Core?

As he thought about it, he could not help but reveal a burning gaze. Ning Xiaoxian, occupied with her own thoughts, did not notice, but Changtian saw it in his eyes, and inwardly thought "this is bad!"

Previously, Quan Shifang had felt very fond of Ning Xiaoxian, but because she was a mortal, he had to cut off his feelings with a sword; now that Ning Xiaoxian had stepped onto the Immortal Path, that obstacle no longer existed, and he was free to pursue her boldly!

The look Quan Shifang gave her was filled with relief, enthusiasm, and joy. She might not understand, but Changtian was all too familiar, for he himself often looked at Ning Xiaoxian exactly the same way.

This brat also had the demeanor of a gentleman and could easily win a lady’s favor. Changtian squinted his eyes, knowing he had to think of something.

Right at that moment, Pill Furnace Qiongqi came over and said secretly: "Lord Divine Monarch, this Mr. Quan is very attentive to our mistress, it seems..."

Suddenly, he felt annoyed and waved his hand to seal the mouth of this noisy old tiger, leaving it humming and unable to utter a word for a long while.

She opened her mouth, wanting to make an excuse but found herself unable to lie in front of Quan Shifang, ending up murmuring softly: "I...just had a stroke of luck."

This excuse was as good as none, but Quan Shifang simply smiled and did not press further. Ning Xiaoxian did not know, but he had the answer he wanted, what did reasons and process matter?

Seeing her weary expression, he got up considerately: "You have not yet fully recovered, rest. You must not move for the next few days and must rest here."

"Wait a moment." She called out to him, "What about the people from Tianlan Courtyard, why haven’t they chased after us?"

Those people couldn’t chase as far as he could. Quan Shifang simply shook his head: "Not sure, when I left, the elders from my sect were negotiating with them." After saying that, he walked out in big strides.

After leaving the bamboo house, he heard a faint "thank you" coming from inside, which immediately brightened his mood, and the corners of his mouth curled up. (To be continued.
