Chapter 58 Speculations about Karmic Fire
Chapter 58 Speculations about Karmic Fire
"Senior Sister Shangguan, the spirit herb has been sold. You could have just sent someone to deliver it. Why did you have to make the trip yourself? It's really troublesome."
At the foot of the mountain, two figures.
Shangguan Ling ignored Xu Nian's polite words.
Instead, she frowned and looked down at the marks on his arm.
Although it's already very faint.
But you can still vaguely see that someone bit it out.
Several canine teeth were embedded in the flesh.
It must have taken a lot of effort.
"Junior Brother Xu Nian, did someone bite you? What happened? What's wrong?"
“Ah, this…” Xu Nian touched her nose, “Isn’t this my senior sister? She said it was no fun on the mountain, so she got a puppy, and it bit me.”
Shangguan Ling's lips twitched.
Bitten by a dog?
That sounds a bit strange.
Was it a dog that bit you, or your vixen-like junior brother?
Her eyelids suddenly twitched.
Not right.
Although that little vixen seemed very difficult to get along with, she was actually very kind to her senior brother Xu Nian, and was very obedient and well-behaved.
But now, he bit Xu Nian?
Why did it bite so hard?
What did Xu Nian do to him?
As Shangguan Ling pondered, her pupils suddenly contracted, as if she had thought of something extraordinary.
Her small mouth slowly opened wider.
It can't be... it can't be what I'm imagining, can it?
These two people...
Could it be that…
Wait, it was Xu Nian who took the initiative?
"No, it's also possible that the vixen took the initiative, was rejected by Junior Brother Xu Nian, and then, out of love turned to hate, took revenge on him and bit him!"
As soon as the thought came to mind, Shangguan Ling felt it was very likely.
That little vixen must have taken the initiative!
That must be it!
My ideal woman wouldn't like a boy!
After hesitating for a moment, Shangguan Ling tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Junior Brother Xu Nian, the elders of the Pill Hall have been refining pills a lot lately. Why don't you come and take a look? You can learn something from them."
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister. I have recently encountered some problems in my cultivation."
"You brat, you refuse to listen to anything I say. Are you afraid your junior brother will get jealous? Afraid he won't like you getting too close to me?"
"Forehead…"
That's really what I think.
But it's still a bit awkward to mention it by such a name.
Shangguan Ling pouted, "Just bring him along then. When the elders refine pills, they can give you some low-grade pills. Doesn't your lineage lack resources?"
Fearing that Xu Nian would feel embarrassed, she added, "Even low-grade pills are quite valuable, there's nothing shameful about them. They're more than enough for you Qi Refining cultivators to use for cultivation."
Hearing Shangguan Ling's words, Xu Nian felt even more embarrassed.
Seeing that she kept talking and wanted to continue.
Xu Nian finally couldn't help but speak up, whispering, "Senior Sister, actually, Qinghuan and I have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Foundation building..."
Shangguan Ling followed Xu Nian's words and had just spoken them.
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
What the hell?
Laying the foundation?
Did I mishear, or... has that brat Xu Nian gone mad?
Wasn't he only at the second level of Qi Refining when he left the sect?
Then he gave him a spirit sword to protect himself and to kill enemies.
How come you've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage all of a sudden?
How long has it been since?
It hasn't even been half a month, has it?
It hasn't even been ten days!
How did you suddenly reach the Foundation Establishment stage?!
“Junior brother, you…” Shangguan Ling looked at Xu Nian and suddenly became worried. “Are you under too much pressure from cultivation? You don’t need to do this. If you can’t handle it, come to our Pill Hall.”
Her eyes were filled with heartache.
The more she acted this way, the more embarrassed Xu Nian became.
He simply released his own spiritual energy fluctuations.
Shangguan Ling was stunned on the spot, completely dumbfounded.
"How come... he really is in the Foundation Establishment stage..."
She tilted her head blankly, looking at Xu Nian.
Her little face was full of confusion.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Junior Brother Xu Nian, are you really a normal person?"
"yes…"
"Then why... do you cultivate so fast? You two..." Shangguan Ling suddenly felt like crying, her eyes reddened, and her nose tingled. "Why are you two cultivating so fast?"
"this…"
Xu Nian didn't know how to explain it either.
How do you say this?
I can't exactly tell the truth and say that I was reborn.
Because of his rebirth, he mastered all the cultivation methods.
As long as you accumulate enough spiritual energy and complete the steps required to advance to the next realm, you can break through directly.
There are no constraints in terms of spiritual attainment.
Everything will fall into place naturally.
Therefore, progress has been rapid.
Wu Qinghuan, on the other hand, has a very high talent for cultivation, even higher than his own.
So also...
Hey, wait.
Xu Nian suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
He frowned.
He crossed his arms, rested his chin on his hand, and stopped looking at Shangguan Ling, instead pondering carefully.
"Something's not right...something's really not right..."
"The reason I'm cultivating so fast now is partly because I have exceptional talent and am a natural swordsman, and partly because of my rebirth, which allowed me to memorize all the mental cultivation techniques."
"Therefore, there is no process that I don't know how to do; no matter what it is, I can get started right away."
"My Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul Formation will all be very fast."
"But why, even with the combined benefits of my talent and rebirth, am I still falling behind by one step?"
Xu Nian frowned.
The image of my junior brother's aloof face floated into my mind.
Right?
Although his talent was better than hers, she was reborn, while Wu Qinghuan was not.
Logically speaking, shouldn't I be promoted faster than him?
"Having good talent has its limits; it won't allow you to completely dominate in the early stages."
Besides, in his previous life, Wu Qinghuan had almost no reputation in the first few years, as if he didn't exist. He was the genius and the chosen one among the younger generation.
Then, the Holy Son of the Blissful Sect suddenly appeared.
All the young talents were caught off guard by the killing.
I almost lost to him too.
At that time, the two were evenly matched, and their skill levels were similar.
Later on, Wu Qinghuan gradually overtook him.
Something seems off about my junior brother.
Could it be that the karmic fire has backfired?
The physical condition is greatly enhanced, but the negative effects are also greatly increased?
What exactly is the state of his body now?
