Ding Wuyan retorted, "Everyone's cultivation results are vastly different because everyone's aftereffects from cultivating the China Battle Art are unique.
He is single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, just like me. To him, this physical form is not important; true strength is the core.
Having reached my level, the physical form is no longer an issue."
He turned to Li Chengfeng and asked, "Li Xu, if cultivating my technique could give you a chance to advance to the Transformation God stage, but it might cause you to age, would you be willing to try?"
Li Chengfeng replied without hesitation, "Of course, I would."
He understood the value of this technique. Although he had concerns, he was even more eager to gain power.
Ding Wuyan nodded and said, "Whether or not to cultivate this technique is your own decision.
But you can try to comprehend and deduce it; perhaps there will be unexpected gains."
Li Chengfeng nodded gratefully, his heart filled with joy.
Ding Wuyan laughed loudly, "Haha, you really suit my taste. I will personally guide you for a period to prevent your senior sister from misleading your cultivation."
After speaking, he waved his hand at the light, and Li Chengfeng instantly disappeared from the spot without leaving any farewell words.
Xiao Mowen sighed, "Senior brother is still the same as ever. I wonder what Li Xu will be molded into by him."
Xiao Mowen looked at Mu Xi and said, "I will personally guide you for a period to see who between you and Li Xu can be superior."
The Myriad Demon King, Blood Bat, also indicated that he needed to return to handle some matters and reminded them not to forget their previous agreement. With a shake of his body, he disappeared.
Su Qiushui picked up the Wind Spirit Rat and snuggled beside her master!
Xiao Mowen happily set up his escape light and took them away from this place, leaving behind a peaceful scene.
However, beside the gray forest, in a stinky ditch, a toad suddenly jumped out. It let out a sinister laugh and said, "Did you think you killed me, Ding Chunqiu?
I had long prepared a means to lodge a wisp of my divided soul within this toad's body. Give me a few hundred more years, and I can still cultivate to the highest realm and give you all a surprise!"
His exclamation suddenly stopped because he sensed an unusual aura.
Turning around, he saw three women standing behind him, each more beautiful than the last.
Su Qiushui spoke first, "Old demon, you are truly clever to think of possessing a toad to escape this calamity, but did you think that could fool us?"
The toad widened its eyes in disbelief and said, "How is this possible? I had already anticipated this and hid within the toad, using its aura to conceal myself. How did you find me?"
Su Qiushui smiled slightly and patted the Wind Spirit Rat beside her, saying, "My Wind Spirit Rat is a good helper for beast tamers. Its nose is even more sensitive than a treasure-seeking rat. Your aura cannot escape its senses."
The toad's expression stiffened as it looked at Xiao Mowen.
Xiao Mowen nodded with a smile and said, "Thanks to my disciple Mu Xi reminding me. She said she had a feeling.
This old monster definitely had a backup plan. To be safe, we pretended to leave and searched carefully. I listened to her suggestion, and unexpectedly, we actually gained something."
Mu Xi proudly raised her chin, looking like she had everything under control, and said to the toad, "Old monster, you didn't expect to fall into my hands, did you? Although I'm not strong, I'm smart enough.
Who said that senior brother is smarter than me? In the end, didn't I save the day?"
She clenched her fist, looking very confident.
The toad lowered its head helplessly and sighed, "Is heaven going to destroy me, Ding Chunqiu? To think that I, who dominated the cultivation world for so many years, would fall into the hands of a Qi Refining stage three little girl. How lamentable and sad."
After speaking, he was about to self-immolate his soul in order to seek release.
But at this moment, the Wind Spirit Rat swallowed him in one gulp and said, "Old thing, you can't self-immolate and become nourishment for my Wind Spirit Rat."
The Wind Spirit Rat hated Ding Chunqiu because its master was almost harmed by Ding Chunqiu's secret technique. If Xiao Mowen hadn't intervened, they would probably have died.
Mu Xi stretched out her fair little hand to Xiao Mowen, asking for a reward, "Master, reward, reward! Now you know, right? Senior brother is not as good as me, no matter how smart he is. I deserve a share of this reward too."
Su Qiushui slapped Mu Xi's little hand, causing her to grit her teeth in pain and complain, "Senior sister, you're bullying me again."
Su Qiushui frowned and glared at Mu Xi, saying, "Little girl, stop talking. Your performance this time wasn't good to begin with, and now you're trying to take credit. I have to punish you."
Mu Xi shrank her neck and said with some disbelief, "Senior sister, how did you know? This wasn't my idea."
Su Qiushui said smugly, "What kind of temperament and personality do you have? Don't you think I know?
In these three months, although your talent is good, and your cultivation has no bottlenecks, your temperament is far inferior to your senior brother's.
Although your senior brother comprehended it later than you, his foundation is more solid than yours. So it's hard to say who will be stronger in the future.
However, this trial showed that your senior brother is much more stable than you."
Mu Xi lowered her head and said hesitantly, "Master, it's all my fault. I knew that my performance this time wasn't good, so I deliberately told senior brother to give me some credit.
Senior brother said that you, Master, are a fair and selfless person and would never engage in favoritism, so he wouldn't directly give me credit.
So he came up with a way to let me say this. If we could really find the old monster, I would get a reward; if we couldn't find him, he wouldn't let me regret it, because he felt that everything had to be done cautiously, just like cultivation.
Every time he gets a technique, he has to examine it several times, and every time he finishes something, he has to review it once. He told me that such credit all depends on my luck. Who knew that my luck would be pretty good, but you still saw through it."
Mu Xi looked like a child who had done something wrong, amusing Xiao Mowen, who smiled and said, "Your senior brother is really too good to you. This is clearly his idea. If he had told me directly,
I would have been even more impressed with him, and perhaps I would have passed the position of sect leader to him. But he gave the credit to you."
Mu Xi immediately puffed out her chest and said proudly, "That's right, senior brother is very good to me. I know he likes me, but he's too embarrassed to tell me, so, well, I accepted it. Who told him to be my senior brother?"
With a "bang," Su Qiushui knocked Mu Xi on the head again, causing her to cover her head in pain and say, "Senior sister, why are you knocking me on the head like senior brother?"
Su Qiushui said sternly, "Your senior brother doesn't mean that at all. Don't be so narcissistic.
He treats you like his own sister, which is why he gave you the credit.
You have to remember to treat people sincerely and not always think about taking advantage of others."
Mu Xi scratched her head and lowered her head a little embarrassedly.
Xiao Mowen smiled and stroked Mu Xi's head, saying, "You little girl are too much like me when I was young, but I have to tell you that I am never narcissistic, and I would never like my senior brother.
Even now, I still haven't found my soulmate. You little girl, your heart flutters as soon as you see Li Xu. Do you think I don't know?"
Mu Xi's face flushed red, and she retorted, "Master, no way! You're always teasing me.
I suddenly had an epiphany about cultivation. Let's go back quickly. I want to break through to the Qi Refining stage four, really, I'm not lying to you."
