LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 4 - Ingredients Falling from the Sky! What Kind of Mortal Is This Powerful?!
Li Xuan stared at the Primordial Spirit in his mind, blinking in disbelief.
Just like that, I’ve reached the Primordial Spirit realm?
This feels too surreal!
All I did was sleep!
But then, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl upward, and he almost burst out laughing.
The system is amazing!
I love it!
Li Xuan felt the power within his body and was beyond excited. However, since he had just advanced to the Primordial Spirit realm, he wasn’t yet familiar with this newfound strength.
If he were to face a true Primordial Spirit expert now, he would definitely lose.
But so what?
Even the weakest Primordial Spirit cultivator was still a Primordial Spirit! In Duxian Sect, that was the level of an elder. As far as he knew, none of the core disciples in Duxian Sect had reached the Primordial Spirit realm—the strongest were only at the Void Transformation realm.
And here he was, suddenly a Primordial Spirit!
Among the younger generation of Duxian Sect, he was undoubtedly the strongest!
Now, his title as the senior brother of Tianxuan Peak was truly well-deserved!
He stepped out of his cabin, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and felt an unprecedented sense of joy!
Then, he noticed Feng Jiuge stepping out of her cabin and locking eyes with him. The more he looked at her, the more he liked what he saw. “Good morning, Junior Sister.”
Ah, junior sisters are wonderful.
Without her, where would I get this cultivation?
Thinking this, he decided to make a delicious meal at noon to reward his junior sister for her hard work all night. “Junior Sister, what would you like to eat for lunch? I’ll go down the mountain to buy some ingredients and cook for you.”
Hearing this, Feng Jiuge’s eyes lit up. She had to admit, Li Xuan’s cooking skills were impressive. However, she maintained some composure and didn’t show too much excitement. “Anything is fine, Senior Brother. I’m not picky.”
“Alright, then. By the way, did you sleep well last night?”
“It was acceptable.”
Although it couldn’t compare to the imperial palace she had lived in during her previous life, times had changed, and she had to make do. She couldn’t afford to be too picky.
“That’s good to hear.”
Li Xuan smiled warmly, looking at Feng Jiuge with increasing fondness. “Then I’ll go buy the ingredients now. You keep cultivating.”
With that, he left.
Watching Li Xuan’s retreating figure, Feng Jiuge shook her head. “Sigh, he has no idea that he’s about to become a stepping stone for my advancement. Well, since he’s been kind to me, I’ll make sure he lives a life of luxury in the future.”
…
Li Xuan whistled as he walked down the mountain to buy ingredients.
On the way, he suddenly remembered that he was now a Primordial Spirit expert—he could fly!
There was no need to walk down the mountain.
But just as he was about to take off, a sharp screech came from the sky. Then, a chicken fell from the heavens and landed at his feet.
Upon closer inspection, the chicken was covered in bloody scratches and had died from the fall.
“Is this… ingredients falling from the sky??”
Li Xuan blinked in surprise.
Suddenly.
A sword aura shot toward him. The aura wasn’t particularly strong, but if it had been the old Li Xuan, he would have been thrown into disarray or even injured.
But now, Li Xuan didn’t care at all.
He casually swatted at it.
Snap!
The sword aura dissipated on the spot.
What a weak sword aura!
Li Xuan looked at his pristine palm and felt an overwhelming sense of strength.
Not far away, two figures approached. They looked at Li Xuan with surprise. The young man leading the way said, “Oh, I didn’t expect a mortal to block my sword aura. That’s unexpected.”
Li Xuan glanced at the two and asked curiously, “Who are you?”
The young man sneered, “Heh, Li Xuan, don’t you recognize me? Do you remember the young man who knelt outside Tianxuan Peak three years ago?”
Li Xuan thought for a moment. “Three years ago… Oh, I remember now. Three years ago, there was a fool who knelt at the foot of Tianxuan Peak, begging my master to take him as a disciple. But in the end, he didn’t even get to see her and fainted at the mountain’s base.”
Liu Tianxuan was one of Duxian Sect’s top experts.
A half-step Supreme.
With her stunning looks, snow-white hair, and crimson eyes, she was the dream of many. Countless people wanted to become her disciple.
Li Xuan remembered that three years ago, a young man had knelt at the foot of Tianxuan Peak, begging Liu Tianxuan to take him as a disciple. Unfortunately, Liu Tianxuan didn’t even glance his way. She was too busy sleeping in her cave, and she slept for over half a month.
Li Xuan had kindly gone to remind the young man to try his luck elsewhere.
Unexpectedly, the young man had scolded him.
“You, a mortal, can become Elder Liu’s disciple! Why can’t I? Elder Liu must be testing my sincerity!”
“Don’t interfere with my quest to become her disciple! Only I am worthy of inheriting Elder Liu’s legacy! What are you, a mortal, worth?”
Li Xuan had stopped bothering with him after that.
Later, the young man knelt for three days and three nights before fainting.
After that, Li Xuan heard that the young man had joined Jingyun Peak, one of the seven peaks of Duxian Sect. He hadn’t heard anything about him since.
Li Xuan hadn’t paid much attention and didn’t even remember the young man’s name.
He hadn’t expected to see him again today.
“For the past three years, I’ve been cultivating at Jingyun Peak. Now, I’m at the ninth layer of the True Essence realm, just half a step away from the Spirit Sea realm! I didn’t expect to run into you while hunting today, Li Xuan. Draw your sword!”
The young man challenged Li Xuan.
Li Xuan spread his hands. “Do you see a sword on me?”
The young man snorted. “As the only disciple of Tianxuan Peak, you don’t even have a storage ring? How pathetic!”
Li Xuan shrugged. “Yeah, my master is pretty stingy. It’s a good thing you didn’t join Tianxuan Peak back then. Otherwise, you might not have reached this level. By the way, Tianxuan Peak now has another disciple besides me—a junior sister.”
He wasn’t lying.
Liu Tianxuan was a strange person.
She took in disciples but didn’t teach them, leaving them to fend for themselves.
If this young man had joined Tianxuan Peak, he might not have achieved his current level of cultivation. Unfortunately, the young man took Li Xuan’s words as mockery.
“See, my master took in another disciple.”
“But she didn’t take you.”
“Fine, fine! Today, Zhang Bai will show you what I’m capable of!”
The young man, Zhang Bai, shouted and thrust his sword at Li Xuan.
The sword strike was sharp and fierce.
Flames coiled around the blade!
Li Xuan recognized it as one of Duxian Sect’s sword techniques. As for the flames, they were due to Zhang Bai’s Fire Spirit Body!
The flames surged, and the heat was overwhelming.
This sword strike could have easily killed ten versions of the old Li Xuan.
Unfortunately, Zhang Bai had come at the wrong time.
If he had come a day earlier, he might have been able to teach Li Xuan a lesson.
But now…
Li Xuan casually extended two fingers and effortlessly caught the sword. “Too weak.”
He applied a slight force, and true energy surged.
Clang!
The sword snapped in two.
The backlash of true energy sent Zhang Bai flying.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
Li Xuan looked at the broken sword and tossed it aside.
“Oops, I might have used too much force.”
He had just advanced to the Primordial Spirit realm and wasn’t yet in full control of his strength. He had tried to hold back.
But he hadn’t expected to nearly kill the guy in one move.
“You… you…”
The other young man stared at Li Xuan, his face pale with fear. “You’ve been pretending to be weak all this time!! You’re no mortal!”
What kind of mortal is this powerful?!
