BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143 - 143: 124
After discovering that the ice-blue phoenix could make him feel more comfortable, the big gugu wisely gave up the chase and chose to coexist peacefully. Why destroy something that could only make things better?
“So that’s how it is!”
With the help of the big gugu, Feng Qing’an understood the purpose of this ice-blue phoenix-shaped seal. The Solid Yang Essence Lock was an ongoing process; it began to function the moment it entered his body.
“It’s incredibly profound!”
Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but exclaim. However, the next moment, he looked towards the window. Greeting his gaze was a slim, graceful girl, dressed in an exquisite palace skirt, who glided towards him.
“Feng Qing’an!”
“Nan Ge!”
A young man never rejects a girl’s embrace, thus after a brief tender moment, Feng Qing’an, holding Nan Ge in his arms, looked serious as he noticed something amiss.
“What’s wrong?”
Nan Ge, nestled in Feng Qing’an’s arms, asked somewhat puzzled.
Feng Qing’an’s expression was rigid. The girl’s charm might not be as mature as her sister’s, being more like a ripe fruit, but it was irresistible nonetheless. How can one not react having such a girl in one’s arms?
The youth felt the same, but as the flame below his abdomen was ignited, a clear, phoenix cry rang out, instantly extinguishing his flame. His mind cleared, not a single intrusive thought lingered, allowing him to divert his attention on other matters, undistracted by the girl.
“No, it’s nothing!”
Feng Qing’an’s expression returned to normal, calm and collected, his hand that was holding the girl’s delicate shoulder slightly tightened as he attempted again. Then, the sharp cry of the phoenix rang out!
With a stoic face, the young man knew that the seal capable of controlling and suppressing the flame was an invaluable treasure for a young man of his age, but to extinguish every single thought seemed a bit too extreme.
“Who would’ve thought I’d end up a holy monk!”
In the midst of his misery, Feng Qing’an amused himself with a joke, looking at the perplexed Nan Ge still in his embrace.
“What holy monk? Feng Qing’an, are you going to enter the Buddhist Gate?” The girl blinked her crystal-clear eyes, asking a little worriedly.
“What Buddhist Gate? I’d never enter. I’d have to be out of my mind to become a monk when I have you by my side.”
Feng Qing’an answered conclusively without a moment’s hesitation. If he were Tang Monk and came across the queen, there would only be one outcome.
My apologies, Buddha!
The disciple’s six roots are not pure, you might have to wait another lifetime!
“By the way, Nan Ge, I know you’ve been training quite hard recently. How come you haven’t made a breakthrough yet?”
Feng Qing’an remembered an important matter relating to a secret technique he had not yet obtained. Of course, he was not in a rush.
[Xuan Beast Sect?Side Task: Integrative Understanding]
[Requirements: Master the “Manipulating God Skill” and use it proficiently]
[Reward: “Spirit-devouring and Soul-refining Skill”]
Feng Qing’an had already obtained and was trying to practice the “Spirit-devouring and Soul-refining Skill” in combination with the other three soul skills. To obtain this technique, unlike the previous ones, you no longer succeed just by managing to activate the technique; it requires proficient mastery of the “Manipulating God Skill.’
However, as a member of the Xuan Beast Sect, such a requirement wasn’t too much. Feng Qing’an understood, after all, it wouldn’t be hard for him. With the existence of big gugu, his proficiency in this technique quickly reached the requirement.
Now, the other technique he needs to complete and acquire is,
[Xuan Beast SectSide Task: Founding Sect Establishment]
[Requirements: Have at least three individuals with the strength of a commander or more]
[Reward: “Soul-infusing, Spirit-devouring Technique”]
Although the technique is for use on pets, it’s not easy to acquire. Of course, for the present Feng Qing’an, it is not difficult.
No need to talk about Dong Huang, Black Mountain has already broken through. Now they only needed Nan Ge to work hard. Of course, if the Solar Tree grew a little more, it might also meet the requirement.
That’s why Feng Qing’an was not in a hurry, it was only because he thought of it and asked spontaneously. After all, Nange’s breakthrough hadn’t shown any progress in a long time, sinking back into the stagnant state that it had been in previously.
However, considering Nange’s unusual background, she couldn’t be compared to ordinary spirits. Hence, Feng Qing’an also understood that her cultivation practices being a bit special was quite normal. “I want to complete the Nine Refinement! ”
“Nine Refinement?”
“Yes, a type of cultivation technique that refines my magic power repeatedly. It allows the foundation of my power to be more solid and pure!”
Nange briefly explained.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing’an asked curiously,
“Nine times, then which attempt are you currently on?” “I have already completed seven refinements!”
A hint of pride unconsciously seeped into the girl’s words.
“That’s very close to completion. You’re really amazing!”
“It’s not the same. The Nine Refinement is very easy in the beginning, and it gets harder towards the end. My sister told me that at my current level, Nine Refinement is the limit, and it is possible to breakthrough after completing three to five refinements.”
“So, you have already met the criteria? You’re ready for a breakthrough?”
“Yes, but I must complete the Nine Refinement. My sister did it and if she can do it, I definitely can too!”
Determination shone in the young girl’s eyes.
“I believe you can do it!”
Since Nange had lofty goals, Feng Qing’an naturally supported her. After all, all he could do was wait and make a small contribution. However, one should not expect Nange to break through in a short period of time. The only hope was the Blazing Sun Tree. Perhaps when the second flower bud blooms, it would naturally increase his strength to the Commander’s level. But it’s uncertain whether Big Gugugu would grow bigger by then.
Clattering!
On the third day after Donghuang left, a small phoenix named Youyou descended from the sky and entered Feng Qing’an’s room, interrupting the young boy’s cultivation. At the moment, the color of his soul power had started to turn red, indicating that he was about to form the Seventh Soul Contract.
But as the little phoenix had arrived, Feng Qing’an naturally had to stop his cultivation. The cultivation of a Beast Master had no particular requirements in terms of time or place or even physical condition. As long as one can calm the mind, one can practice at any time, even multitask if necessary.
“Where’s Donghuang? Why didn’t she come?”
Feng Qing’an looked at the little phoenix standing alone in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly. Usually, Youyou would be perched on Donghuang’s shoulder when appearing before him, but today was different.
“Stop looking, Donghuang didn’t have time today, just me!”
Seeing the boy peering out of the window, the little phoenix immediately became disgruntled,
“Can’t I come find you?”
“Of course you can, but why doesn’t Donghuang have time?”
Feng Qing’an naturally would not give up. It’s different between her sister and younger sister. He saw his younger sister every day, but when his sister occasionally came to visit, it was indeed quite nice. Of course, that’s not the main reason. He wanted Donghuang to make a slight modification to the secret mark on his body.
“That’s enough for her to take the time to return your sword. What else do you expect? Do you have any idea how busy she is?”
“I really don’t know that!”
“It’s okay if you don’t know. Even if you did, you wouldn’t be of much help!”
Youyou was quite annoyed by Feng Qing’an’s attitude after having traveled such a distance.
“Here, this is what Donghuang asked me to bring to you!”
The little phoenix opened its slender beak and spat out a white cloth embroidered with golden silk that was unproportional to its petite body. There was a Chilong Jade Hook hanging on it as well. “Otherwise, I would be too lazy to find you!”
“This is…a belt!?”
Feng Qing’an picked up the cloth spat out by Youyou. Looking at this unique style, he held it against his waist, and a subtle expression appeared on his face. It was a belt used to tie clothes, and there was a jade hook on it..
