Chapter 1996: Chapter 1996: Emergence from Seclusion
"I am Liu Yanji, here to welcome you to my master’s billion-year birthday celebration. May I know where the Great Elder Bai Li of your esteemed faction is?" the middle-aged beautiful woman spoke, her voice melodious and pleasant.
One must admit that this middle-aged beautiful woman was indeed strikingly attractive, with an air of mature elegance.
Unlike Bai Li’s cold beauty and heroic demeanor.
"I’m sorry, Great Elder Bai Li is in closed cultivation and may need some time before coming out, so it’s not possible for her to meet Elder Liu right now," Li Mu said.
"Oh? I see, in that case, I naturally wouldn’t dare to disturb Great Elder Bai Li’s cultivation, please follow me," Liu Yanji said.
After speaking, she led the way ahead.
Li Mu immediately controlled the divine ship to follow.
Two days later, Xu Nian and others, under Liu Yanji’s guidance, arrived at the Beichen Divine King Hall.
And as Xu Nian and the others arrived at the Beichen Divine King Hall, Bai Li finally emerged from her closed cultivation.
At this moment, Bai Li’s injuries and cultivation were completely recovered.
She glanced at Xu Nian, seemingly intentionally, then stepped forward to converse with Liu Yanji.
Meanwhile, Xu Nian entered the ship’s cabin, where he had already absorbed all the cold poison into his body.
The terrifying cold poison had driven Xu Nian’s body temperature to a frightening extreme.
The crucial moment to condense the cold pill had arrived.
The Nine Infant Avatar didn’t think twice and directly took the main body into the Chaos Divine Palace, so there was no need to worry about outside interference.
...
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
Xu Nian and others fully settled down under Liu Yanji’s arrangements.
With three days remaining before the Beichen Divine King’s birthday celebration, guests from other factions began arriving one after another.
At night, Xu Nian was sitting cross-legged in his courtyard, attempting to break through the Gold Attribute Heavenly Dao Ninth Level.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the gate of Xu Nian’s courtyard was knocked upon.
Xu Nian sensed who it was and found that the person knocking was Bai Li.
So Xu Nian immediately deactivated the defensive array and opened the courtyard gate.
"Elder Bai Li, why are you looking for me so late?" Xu Nian asked.
"I’ve been busy entertaining guests these past three days and haven’t had a chance to thank you. How is your main body now?" Bai Li got straight to the point.
"Don’t worry, my main body is fine. I have a secret technique that perfectly counters this cold poison," Xu Nian explained.
However, Bai Li didn’t believe him: "I know you’re saying this to keep me from feeling guilty, but it doesn’t matter, I, Bai Li, remember this kindness."
"Uh, no, my main body is really fine," Xu Nian said helplessly.
"No need to explain, only a God King Level strong person can solve this cold poison. You absorbed all the cold poison from my body, how can it be resolved by a secret technique, so there’s no need to tell me that," Bai Li said firmly.
It seemed that once she believed in something, it couldn’t be changed.
Xu Nian felt utterly helpless upon hearing this.
His main body was indeed fine. Why didn’t she believe it?
If it weren’t for the fact that his main body was currently at the crucial moment of condensing the pill, he really wanted to summon his main body to show Bai Li.
"This is a bottle of Low Grade Daluo Divine Pill, called Jade Mist Pill, with effects to calm the mind and focus. After taking it, it will greatly help your insights and cultivation, allowing your mind to become more concentrated and elevate your state by more than tenfold," Bai Li said.
"State elevated tenfold? That’s some good stuff," Xu Nian thought to himself in surprise.
"And this is a sword technique called Golden Element Sword Technique, which contains the Great Golden Yuan Technique Rule. It is a treasure for gold attribute cultivators, and I hand it over to you together," Bai Li said.
After speaking, she handed both items to Xu Nian.
"All for me?" Xu Nian asked in shock.
These two items were infinitely precious.
Priceless, even ordinary Daluo God strong people would covet them.
And Bai Li actually gave both items to him?
That’s too extravagant.
"I know these can’t repay your life-saving grace, but if you have other requests, feel free to let me know. As long as I can do it, I will," Bai Li continued.
"No need, these are already enough," Xu Nian quickly shook his head.
He didn’t expect a repayment from Bai Li.
After all, he did these things for himself. If he really couldn’t neutralize the poison, he wouldn’t have risked his life to save her.
Moreover, by detoxifying Bai Li, he also managed to condense the cold pill.
"Rest assured, take these as a token of my appreciation. My life isn’t merely worth this much," Bai Li said.
Xu Nian found himself speechless upon hearing this.
Bai Li was really stubborn.
Even when he didn’t need her repayment, she insisted on giving him all these.
Fine!
He currently needed to boost his strength, and having these was better than nothing.
After delivering these resources, Bai Li left.
Xu Nian didn’t hesitate and immediately took out a Jade Mist Pill and swallowed it.
In the next instant, a powerful clear stream surged into Xu Nian’s mind.
Then Xu Nian felt a newfound clarity of mind.
This feeling was unprecedented, as if he hadn’t been clear-headed for a long time.
Xu Nian stopped wasting time and began comprehending the Gold Attribute Heavenly Dao.
He found that in this hyper-clear state, his insights into the Heavenly Dao were much clearer.
The previously obscure and hard-to-understand Heavenly Dao became simple and crystal-clear, as if he could deduce them just by looking.
At this moment, Xu Nian truly experienced the effect of the Jade Mist Pill.
So Xu Nian didn’t hesitate, starting to frantically comprehend.
Xu Nian soon entered a state of selflessness, and in this state,
his progress in comprehending the Heavenly Dao could be described as skyrocketing.
Within just one day, he successfully broke through to the Ninth-level Heavenly Dao.
Simultaneously, he cultivated the Golden Element Sword Technique that Bai Li had given him.
In this state, cultivating such a sword technique was very simple.
In just two days, Xu Nian had mastered the Golden Element Sword Technique to the Great Success state, even mastering the Great Golden Yuan Technique Rule within it.
In an instant, Xu Nian’s combat strength soared to a new level.
On the third day, Xu Nian entirely withdrew from his cultivation state.
He stepped out of his residence.
"Big brother Xu Nian, you’re finally out. I thought you would stay in closed cultivation forever," as soon as Xu Nian stepped out, Chen Mingshan approached him.
Xu Nian was surprised.
Chen Mingshan actually called him big brother?
Although he knew that Chen Mingshan’s hostility towards him seemed to have disappeared,
he didn’t expect Chen Mingshan to really call him big brother.
"Is there something?" Xu Nian asked.
"Of course there’s something. You don’t know, during your closed cultivation these days, people from the Vast Sea arrived, and they were all beauties with incredible looks," Chen Mingshan immediately said.
"People from the Vast Sea? And they’re beauties? Could it be Leng Yanran?" Xu Nian was instantly startled.
