Chapter 101: Sleeping Over, Deteriorated Filial Piety!
Li Ran was stunned.
Everything in his eyes had changed.
The surrounding air became lively as if he had entered a different world.
He could feel the pulse of the earth and the breath of the breeze. He was clearly in his bedroom, yet he could touch the snowflakes floating outside.
Like lifting the veil of the world, Li Ran saw the essence of all things.
He raised his hand, and the steaming water vapor condensed in his palm, transforming into various shapes. Occasionally, it would turn into water, and occasionally, it would freeze.
His control over the elements was already at its peak.
The biggest change was his body.
The Golden Core in his dantian had already disappeared.
Replacing it was a lake of qi. Every droplet of water contained boundless qi.
The little amethyst figure sat cross-legged in the middle of the lake, suspended on the water surface, and continued to cultivate.
His body became even more translucent and sparkling, and there was a faint trace of golden light.
Li Ran scratched his head. “Could it be that the Heaven Seizing Technique has mutated?”
At this moment, a soft sound rang in his ears, pulling him back into reality.
Leng Wuyan stood to the side, looking at him in shock.
“Master, this disciple seems to… a breakthrough?” Li Ran scratched his head.
Leng Wuyan shyly turned her head. “You should put on your clothes first!”
Li Ran lowered his head and immediately blushed.
The bathwater had completely evaporated. He sat at the bottom of the bath naked, looking extremely ashamed.
He hastily took his clothes and hurriedly put them on.
Seeing his flustered expression, Leng Wuyan stifled her laughter and turned around. “Come with me.”
“Yes!“ Li Ran responded and followed behind.
The two arrived in the bedroom.
Li Ran curiously looked around in all directions.
The room was very large, but there was pitifully little furniture.
Other than the bed and table, there was nothing else.
Based on this style, it was basically Leng Wuyan’s room.
Looking at the messy quilt on the bed, Li Ran’s brows couldn’t help jumping.
Leng Wuyan noticed his gaze, and her face couldn’t help but turn red.
“Cough cough, come sit down.”
Li Ran obediently sat opposite her.
Leng Wuyan grabbed his hand and circulated her qi to probe him. “You’ve indeed broken through.” She nodded.
Li Ran laughed. “This disciple is now a Nascent Soul cultivator?”
Leng Wuyan shook her head. “The Golden Core dissipates and water gathers into a lake. This is indeed one of the symbols of a Nascent Soul. However, the little figure in your dantian is somewhat different from a Nascent Soul… it seems to be the effect of a certain cultivation technique.”
It was her first time seeing a Nascent Soul that could cultivate on its own.
Moreover, she did not mention anything more.
When the Golden Core entered the Nascent Soul, its qi would be compressed and condensed, and it would be the same as a puddle at the early stage.
As he continued to cultivate, the area would gradually expand.
How could there be a lake like Li Ran?
At his level, she had never heard of such abundant qi.
“It’s only been two years since he entered the Golden Core stage, yet he had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. His talent is truly terrifying!” Leng Wuyan looked at him with delight and pride. “As expected of the man I fancy!”
Li Ran was prepared for a breakthrough.
Before he left the mountain, he had already reached the late Golden Core stage.
After tempering through battle, his cultivation base had improved, and his temperament had also stabilized.
Furthermore, the battle between him and Lin Langyue had brought him on verge of breaking through.
Therefore, breaking the cocoon to become a butterfly was within his expectations.
It was just that the method of breaking through was somewhat strange.
Originally, that little figure was cultivating in his sea of consciousness, but just now, it had sunk into his dantian and refined his golden core.
No matter how one looked at it, it was not normal.
Li Ran said, “That is indeed the embodiment of a cultivation method. Worth of its name, ‘Heaven Seizing Technique’.”
He circulated the Heaven Seizing Technique, and the golden ancient seal instantly covered his entire body.
Compared to before, not only were the lines clearer, but the golden light became even more dazzling.
Leng Wuyan was stunned. “This is…”
A dark light condensed in her eyes as she carefully looked over.
“Devour, refine, devour all the qi, undying and indestructible…”
She muttered, “Heaven Seizing Technique? There was actually such a domineering cultivation technique in this world! Where did you learn this?”
Li Ran replied, “I obtained it from the secret realm.”
The system was his bottom line.
He could not reveal it to anyone, even his master.
Leng Wuyan nodded.
This kind of strange technique couldn’t appear in the mortal world, and only the ancient emperor’s inheritance could explain it.
“This cultivation technique is extremely devious, and I can’t completely see through it. However, what I can be sure of is that this is a great fortune.”
Li Ran’s heart skipped a beat.
If Li Wuqiang couldn’t see through it, then forget it.
However, if even Leng Wuyan couldn’t see through it, just how profound was this Heaven Seizing Technique?
As expected of the system, it’s truly awesome!
He was secretly delighted.
At this moment, Li Ran thought of something and asked, “When this disciple broke through just now, his strength was a little weak. Suddenly, powerful qi gushed inside this disciple. Did this master make a move?”
Leng Wuyan shook her head and said, “Master’s qi contained the Dao of Shadow, therefore others cannot absorb it. What you absorbed earlier was this…”
With a wave of her hand, several withered immortal materials appeared on the table.
“These were all given to me by you. I wanted to refine them into pills and return them to you. I didn’t expect you to break through so suddenly. I had no choice but to use them first,” Leng Wuyan said helplessly.
Refining immortal materials into pills was the best method for absorption.
He directly absorbed the feeling of chewing on peonies.
However, it was not a waste to help Li Ran breakthrough.
Li Ran looked at her seriously. “Master, you’re really good to me.”
Leng Wuyan blushed. “It’s yours. They were given by you.”
Li Ran came over with a beaming smile. “Disciple’s things are Master’s. Master’s things are still Master’s.”
Leng Wuyan said warily, “Disciple, why are you so close?”
“I want to hear you call me another name.”
“No!”
“Just one sound, please.”
“I’m so tired of you… h-husband.”
The next morning, Li Ran walked out of the bedroom with a refreshed expression and stretched comfortably.
They chatted until late last night, so he decided to stay in Leng Wuyan’s room.
He held her hand and whispered to her all night, causing Master Leng Wuyan’s face to turn red and her heart to race.
The only fly in the ointment was that he pretended to sleepwalk in the middle of the night, waiting for an opportunity to make a move, and was kicked off the bed…
When the guards saw him come out of his bedroom, they couldn’t help but be stunned. “The Sheng Zi has come so early to pay his respects to the Sect Master?”
Leng Wuyan’s guards worked in three shifts. They had just taken up their posts and thought Li Ran was early.
Staying in the sect master’s bedroom was not something normal people would dare to think.
Li Ran nodded. “Well, I came to greet Master.”
The guard gave him a thumbs-up and exclaimed, “The Sheng Zi is a good disciple who respects his teachers and values the Dao.”
“That’s natural,” said Li Ran, “Also, I can learn from Master by showing filial piety.”
“The Sheng Zi is so filial.”
Leng Wuyan stood behind the door, her eyes twitched, and gave a light spat.
“Filial piety? More like lust!”
