Chapter 28: Progressed!

Tianpi frowned. "Do you think that we can grow Purple Lotus Phoenix Ice? You're wrong. That medicine is naturally created. There is a Xuanmin Mountain in Changjing Kingdom which was always frozen, where ice and snow never melted. The Purple Lotus grew on the icy mountain and blossom on the 7th of July every year. If it snowed then, Phoenix Ice might be formed. Otherwise, the Purple Lotus had no value. Thus, one cannot manually produce the flower, and many struggled to understand if the Purple Lotus was a magical medicine to begin with or one that transformed into a magical medicine due to its interactions with ice."

Tianpi's explanation made Hua Qiyue slightly wary. That meant that she had to participate in Ji family's platform martial arts tournament!

"I heard that Purple Lotus Phoenix Ice was extremely precious as it will only appear once every 100 years. Isn't Ji family holding a platform martial arts tournament? If you eliminate all your opponents, you can obtain a Purple Lotus Phoenix Ice!"

Even though that was the only way, Hua Qiyue had only reached the Grand Completion Assimilation Stage, without entering the bottom tier of Oracle Profound.

She knew that Hua Mengshi of her family had completed Oracle Profound herself. How could she possibly eliminate so many opponents?

Hua Qiyue's eyes lit up in delight. She had a way to resolve the issue but she needed the man in front of her to help her.

"Master, please teach me Spirit Summoning Art! I want to be a Spirit Summoner! I know, I know that if I want to eliminate all my opponents, I need to be at the Soaring Cloud standard. However, I don't have much time. Can I thus learn Spirit Summoning Art first? After all, not everyone knows Spirit Summoning Art, with only three people in the world mastering it?"

Hua Qiyue's pupils glimmer brightly, full of desire and anticipation. Her watery eyes reflected the seductive and handsome face of Tianpi, creating a mesmerizing scene.

"You really want to learn Spirit Summoning Art?" Tianpi frowned. "If you learned it and use it in the tournament, a few masters will recognize this Spirit Summoning Art, creating trouble for yourself."

In that situation, those people would follow Hua Qiyue crazily, flattering her and patronizing her, wanting to be her apprentice.

Even some old masters with dignity and pride would fall under the skirt of Hua Qiyue!

"When she had numerous apprentice then, would she still want this master?"

Hua Qiyue was thoughtful. As the wife of a merchant, she knew how to interact with others so as to triumph in the arena of business.

"Don't worry master. I won't forget you… After all, I need to become strong… become the strongest person in Changjing Kingdom, or even the entire world. Then, no one could hurt me or Tianci." The corner of Hua Qiyue's lips twitched coldly, her eyes shining as if they had been through a thousand years of trauma, full of vicissitudes and calamity.

Tianpi was traumatized by this gaze. The previous gazes by Hua Qiyue were full of hatred and craze. Now that she had calmed down, she seemed like a person who lived for a thousand years.

He touched his pockets and took out a gold foil. He then caressed those protruding words and said, "If that's the case, I'll teach you this spell."

Tianpi passed the gold foil over. Hua Qiyue was stunned as she did not expect him to agree so easily.

He seemed to have his concerns based on his reactions before.

Indeed, Spirit Summoning Art was such a strong skill that only three people knew in the world. That would be four including Tianpi.

If she wished to learn Spirit Summoning Art, numerous traumas would happen in the future but she had no choice.

If she chose not to learn Spirit Summoning Art, she couldn't even heal Tianci's throat.

What was the use of a rebirth if she was still so useless?

"Thank you, Master!" Hua Qiyue received the gold foil and bowed to express his gratitude for Tianpi.

Tianpi's eyes were full of tumbling emotions. His pupils were like the deep sea with tornado inside. The unmeasurable depth seemed to be able to suck people in.

There were only a hundred words on the gold foil but they were hard to understand. Fortunately, with her master Tianpi explaining by the side, Hua Qiyue understood what these words meant.

Even if one did spread this spell out, few in the world could understand it. However, in the vast world, if one or two geniuses did understand it, that would definitely mean the start of a disaster.

"Remember, as a Spirit Summoner, you can only use your skill once per month under 15 minutes before you reach level 5! If you break this rule, you will lose all your Qi and explode in a bloody mess, turning yourself into a pool of blood.

At the end of the explanation, Tianpi reminded Hua Qiyue solemnly.

Hua Qiyue nodded her head repeatedly. "What about above level 5?"

"Until the lower level of level 6, you can use the skill three times per month, each time less than 45 minutes."

Tianpi was expressionless. He seldom showed this side of himself as he was usually playful and random, like a boy who refused to grow up.

However, in this instance, his expression made Hua Qiyue understand that this matter was serious.

"Your Master is thirsty, give me blood ginseng." Tianpi suddenly pointed at the vibrant ginseng lying not far away, remarking.

Hua Qiyue listened but the blood ginsengs retracted back to the ground as she reached there.

"What a coward! Only dare to be alive, get out!" Hua Qiyue slammed down impatiently, using all her spiritual energy. The ground shook slightly and Tianpi felt as if it had blossomed like a blooming flower, with beauty blossoming.

Hua Qiyue' spiritual energy seemed to be five times that of an ordinary person.

"No wonder the spiritual energy of this world would be reduced by half every time she enters. But after she left, the spiritual energy would be recharged.

"Such a person is a genius!"

Tianpi was suddenly glad that his disciple was a genius, as it meant that he would obtain freedom much sooner.

The blood ginsengs were smashed out by Hua Qiyue's palm. Their leaves were sloppily and reluctantly dry as if they had been needing water for a long time, like they were going to die.

Hua Qiyue pulled one ginseng out. It was the size of her fist.

Being a businesswoman in her previous life, she had tens of thousands of ginseng but had never seen such a large and strange blood ginseng!

Blood ginsengs were heavily demanded by alchemists. Unfortunately, they were rare in the outside world. It'd be lucky to find one or two in the bare mountains.

The seeds that Tianpi gave to Hua Qiyue were all precious medicines. If Hua Qiyue had little ambitions, she could be comfortable for a few lifetimes based just on these medicines.

"Be good, after I consume you, your soul will upgrade to become a magical medicine!" Hua Qiyue said while smiling. As she spoke, the rest of the blood ginseng reobtained their vitality, as if they were just showered by the spring rain.

Holding the blood ginseng, Hua Qiyue came to the front of Tianpi and passed the ginseng to him respectfully. "Master, here it is."

Holding the blood ginseng, Tianpi smiled as his dark eyes shone, electrifying Hua Qiyue.

"D*mn, this man is so evil!"

Hua Qiyue could only feel as if her entire soul was sucked away by him, hearing his low voice. "Come with me…"

Hua Qiyue did not hesitate nor resist, merely following Tianpi to the south. She had never walked around this world. Now, both his body and soul were led by Tianpi.

Even though she had consciousness, she could not control her actions. Thus, she was silently astonished. "Could this be Spirit Summoning Art?"

Hua Qiyue was surprised and yet respectful. Anyways, her limbs listened to Tianpi.

As the owner of her own legs, she couldn't even control her own actions.

As they walked for hundreds of meters, they reached the end of the sky island as their visibilities were shrouded by mists. A crack appeared in the dark sky as a beam of light shone on Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue was like a light source in the entire dark and damp world. Her beautiful eyes reflected water waves as she opened her cherry lips to speak. Her brows were like drawings and she seemed to be shinning. Immediately, Tianpi laughed as he let go of Hua Qiyue, jumping into the hot springs in front.

Following the sound of the water splashing, Hua Qiyue could finally control her own body and she then massaged her heavy head.

She had followed him here with a muddled mind. Now that she could see clearly, she saw that the handsome youth now looked like a god that had just descended from the heavens, with glimmers coming from his eyes. The more light reflected down by the sky, the more mysterious the smile of Tianpi seemed like.

"Come down, this is spiritual energy hot spring. Bathing in it can increase your spiritual energy greatly, equaling to nearly half a year of cultivation."

There were already many water droplets lying on Tianpi's hair, shining as brightly as pearls. Water mists covered his face. This seductive man seemed calmer and gentler as his malicious vibe dissipated.

Hua Qiyue was still shocked but she still shook his head. "No… you are a guy, and…"

That bastard himself was bathing in the hot springs. It was weird to her for a man and a woman to bathe in the hot springs together, even if no one would know of it.

Tianpi frowned and laughed. "Would you rather leave those spiritual energies there? You would give up a chance to progress through levels just for your modesty?"

Hua Qiyue was shocked by what he said. As she hesitated, Tianpi leaped up from the mist, carrying her.

He then jumped into the fountain.

A hole appeared in the surface of the water in the hot springs as they jumped in. Following the sound of the water splashing, Hua Qiyue's body was immersed in the hot springs.

She was shell shocked. Having recovered, she realized that she was lying in Tianpi's arms, smelling his fragrance. She blushed and removed his hand from her waist, pulling herself apart from Tianpi.

Moving away from him in the mist, she was unable to see Tianpi's expression clearly. She could only hear him laughing as if he was mocking her but he did not speak.

Hua Qiyue sighed as her heart thumped loudly. The body of that man was so warm.

She calmed down and breathed in, feeling herself as numerous spiritual qi entered her body.

Tianpi was right in that the spiritual qi here was numerous times that of the outside world.

Having completely immersed herself in the cultivation, and having absorbed enough spiritual qi, she looked at the words on the gold foil, remembered Tianpi's explanation and started cultivating.

While she was cultivating, Tianpi pulled his skinny arms out of the water.

The misty sky was no longer crimson as it became as dark and gloomy as a cloudy sky.

However, the light beams that shone through the crack increased, accompanied by a mysterious smile on Tianpi's face.

He waved slowly and the mists in front of him dissipated to both sides. Opposite him was the focused Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue was completely drenched. The thin light blue long dress was stuck to her skin, showing the two tiny hills on her chest. Those made Tianpi frown as a cute red blush appeared on his face.

He lowered his eyes and waved his hand once more to return the mist to its original location.
