Chapter 217: Invitation
In the morning, Ling Fan helped both Yun Fei and Li Mengying undergo the Cleansing Meridians and Cutting Marrow process, and also transmitted to them a Cultivation Technique, which was similarly half of the 'Yue Luo Ling Scroll'.
However, as neither of them had any foundation in cultivating martial arts, after half a day's effort, they could only memorize the half technique by rote and could not fully comprehend it.
Fortunately, this Cultivation Technique was unlike others, being divided into nine layers, progressing step by step. Each layer corresponded to a progressive cultivation route for that Realm, which was very gentle and also had the effect of preserving youth, making it especially suitable for women.
"You must absolutely not disclose this Cultivation Technique. I'll transmit it to Chu Bing and the others later. Cultivate well, as it has the effect of preserving youth, allowing you to maintain everlasting beauty!" Ling Fan reminded them, knowing that women love beauty, and nothing could motivate them more than this.
Indeed, the two women were even more delighted upon hearing this, cherishing it as a treasured possession, nodding repeatedly like pecking chickens, "Don't worry, we will definitely cultivate diligently!"
Then, Ling Fan left them some Elixirs and instructed them on the methods of cultivating martial arts. By midday, the two had barely grasped the First Layer of the cultivation methods of the Yue Luo Ling Scroll.
Yao Yue was also in her room, guiding the sisters An Xixue and An Xiyao in their cultivation. After consuming Ling Fan's Miraculous Elixirs, their bodies were filled with strength, and they felt not the slightest hint of hunger. Read chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Ling Fan entered Yao Yue's room, saw her instructing the sisters, and left without disturbing them.
"The two of you should ponder the Dharma Gates I've transmitted to you well, and you can come to me anytime if there's anything you don't understand!" Yao Yue gave a reminder before leaving the room.
Seeing Ling Fan in the living room, she spoke up, "What do you need me for?"
Ling Fan scratched his head and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you think of taking disciples, and why these two sisters, of all people?"
Ling Fan couldn't figure out what Yao Yue was up to and pressed her out of curiosity.
Yao Yue coughed lightly, shrugged, and said, "You surely can't fail to see that these sisters are nothing but trouble. Without absolute strength to protect them, their future would inevitably be tragic. I couldn't bear to watch them meet with misfortune, so I saved them. Besides..."
Ling Fan's eyebrows twitched, "Besides what?"
"Hehe, besides, why let the water you've brought flow into someone else's field? These sisters are stunningly beautiful; even I was moved by them. Haven't you thought about having them both serve you? I'll take them in for you first!" Yao Yue winked playfully.
Ling Fan, "..."
Watching Yao Yue's unserious teasing, Ling Fan felt his head growing big. What was with these women? They were all more mysterious than the next; his mind was boggled!
Not wanting to linger on this topic any longer, as there was no telling what else Yao Yue might say if they continued, he was well aware of Yao Yue's openness.
"Oh, I've thought about transmitting a new Cultivation Technique to you. Would you like it?" Ling Fan said.
"Oh? Is it powerful? I don't want anything substandard," Yao Yue said pensively.
"Let me have a look first," Yao Yue said with a smile as she extended her hand.
Ling Fan replied gravely, "This Cultivation Technique will make reaching the Innate Realm just a starting point for you. Do you want to join me one day to see what lies beyond Earth?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Yue's heart jolted, and she looked at Ling Fan with a face full of shock. On Earth, the Innate Realm was just a legend, and now Ling Fan was telling her that this Cultivation Technique would allow her to reach the Innate Realm and that it was only the beginning. It was unthinkable. It seemed this man harbored unimaginable secrets.
In the Limitless Secret Tome that Ling Fan had inherited, the Cultivation Techniques were divided into three chapters: Dao Manuscript, Holy Chapter, and Miscellaneous Chapter. The Dao Manuscript contained thirty-six heavenly and unique Dharma Gates and was considered the most top-tier among all Dharma Gates worldwide.
The Holy Chapter compiled seventy-two special and outstanding Dharma Gates from around the world, belonging to the first-rate cultivation methods, while according to the introduction in the secret tome, the Miscellaneous Chapter belonged to the second-rate cultivation methods, just about making the grade, containing a total of three thousand eight hundred and fifty-six Dharma Gates.
Even the Dharma Gates of the Miscellaneous Chapter, in Ling Fan's view, were countless times more profound than the methods existing on Earth; any one of them thrown out could cause a bloody storm in the Martial Arts World.
And the techniques he imparted to Qiao Yuchan, Yun Fei, and the others were all selected from the Dao Manuscript Method, which shows how much he values these women. Now, the technique he is about to pass on to Yao Yue is also a method from the Dao Manuscript.
"The technique I am passing to you cannot be disclosed lightly, or it would cause great chaos in the world. The 'Asura Forbidden Scroll' is quite suitable for you, take it and begin your cultivation!" Ling Fan immediately transmitted the technique to Yao Yue using his divine sense.
Similarly, he first transmitted only half of it, as the Dao Manuscript Method is divided into an upper and lower volume, allowing for gradual cultivation.
He then selected another technique from the Miscellaneous Chapter for Yao Yue to pass on to the sisters An Xixue and An Xiyao. It's a rare occasion for Yao Yue to take on disciples, so they can't be too weak!
Yao Yue was overjoyed and went off to study her newfound treasure.
At that moment, Yun Fei walked out of the room.
"When is He Feichen coming over!" Ling Fan asked. He had just asked Yun Fei to contact He Feichen.
"Big brother, what do you need this little brother for?" Speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives, He Feichen's voice happened to come from outside the door.
Ling Fan looked towards the figure appearing at the door and revealed a slight smile.
"Later, you inform the Hong family and the Yuan Family to send Grandmaster Realm Elders for personal protection of Yun Fei and the others. The Tang Family is unlikely to remain inactive!" Ling Fan instructed.
He Feichen immediately responded to the command, "I'll get on it right away!"
Ling Fan nodded. He had learned from Yun Fei that the Vermilion Bird had been called back by her family due to some matters. Fortunately, he himself had been to Zhongnan and gained some benefits; otherwise, it would indeed have been quite troublesome.
In the morning, he had already asked Yun Fei to contact Xiao Chubing and the others in the Central Sea to be careful.
"By the way, if manpower is insufficient, borrow people from the Qiao Family, and at least send four Grandmasters directly to the Central Sea for protection!" Ling Fan added another reminder.
He Feichen didn't dare delay and hurried out to contact Zhongnan and handle the matters delegated by Ling Fan.
"I can protect them myself!" Yao Yue suddenly said from the side.
Upon hearing this, Ling Fan was somewhat relieved. With Yao Yue's strength approaching the Peak of the Grandmaster Realm and nearing Wuxuan, along with her extraordinary stealth abilities, ordinary people were no match for her.
"You take these next few days to rest and recuperate, which is most important. With more people, your pressure will also be lessened. If the Tang Family doesn't stay in line, I will personally go to Xiangjiang and eradicate them!" Ling Fan said indifferently.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Ling Fan's divine sense detected that another old acquaintance had appeared outside the door.
"Mr. Ding has taken the liberty of coming without an invitation, hope I haven't disturbed Young Master Ling!" A robust and hearty voice came from outside.
Straight away, a middle-aged man with a spirited and refreshing appearance appeared at the doorway. It was none other than Ding Wanchang, whom Ling Fan hadn't seen for a long time.
Ling Fan noticed the man's good spirits and guessed he must have mended his relationship with his ex-wife and son fairly well.
"Young Master Ling, I heard the news today that you caused quite a stir at the Xinghua Banquet yesterday. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have known you had returned!" Ding Wanchang exclaimed excitedly as he entered.
In fact, he had looked for Ling Fan several times, always missing him. Xiao Chubing had also been away on business recently, and he had been secretly regretting it, but luckily he had heard news of Ling Fan today and immediately sought him out.
Ling Fan smiled, wondering what wind had blown this fellow his way, "You're not here just to tease me, are you?"
"Haha, not at all, I am here today to deliver a wedding invitation. My son is getting married tomorrow. I've visited several times but have not been graced with Young Master Ling's presence. Today, by a stroke of luck, I encounter you, and I wonder if Young Master Ling would honor the event with your attendance!" Ding Wanchang said, his heart filled with a mix of nervous anticipation.
