Chapter 9: Joining the Expedition

A few days had passed and I also got the Chaos Technique that Nie Li gave to Lu Piao, the Holy Primal Chaos Technique. Also, I asked Nie Li if I can have some of his techniques for each element like Fire, Lightning, Wind, Water, Yin, Yang, Space, Time, etc.

Which he gave me all and I thanked him for it. He says that I am his brother and that brothers should stick together. While he is an idiot and arrogant mc, he would give everything to his friends. Which is something likable to him and I am thankful for that.

Today is the day someone recruited the students to join his expedition and he would give them a Holy Dark Grass which can greatly increase soul force. His name is Chen Linjian, a direct descendant of the Divine Family. He had reached 5-star bronze rank and would soon reach 1-star silver rank.

The Holy Dark Grass can strengthen the soul force and the older it is, the stronger the effect. Even a five-year-old Holy Dark Grass is worth 50,000 DSC, that's why many people are joining in. I looked at Nie Li who seems to be interested and said to him.

" Nie Li, do you want to join them? Let's go together and join this expedition. We might get something good " I said which Nie Li pondered for a minute. He eventually agreed while Du Ze and Lu Piao let us go.

" With you being a 3-star Silver rank Demon Spiritualist. This expedition should be easy for you, Xiangjun. I didn't think that you would have an indigo soul realm and I thought you just had a red soul realm. " Nie Li said.

Nie Li and Co. know that I have an indigo soul realm when we tested it the second time and Nie Li just assumes that my records of having a red soul realm is because of how many people used the soul crystal. But what I didn't tell them and will never be is I reincarnated here and my soul realm changes because of that.

" Well, this is my first time being outside the Glory City. So, I have a to experience it. Anyway, let's go Nie Li. Lu Piao, Du Ze. When we get back, I will give you something that can strengthen your soul forces. You too, guys " I said to the other two who also joined with Nie Li which I don't remember the name and not that of an important character.

We arrived next to Chen Linjian and Nie Li inquired if there is more space Linjian said that he only had one spot left.

" Is that so? Well, that's too bad, since I am a 3-star silver Demon Spiritualist and I am trying to go with you. Well, Nie Li you have to get this chance while I go back since it seems that this guy doesn't want a 3-star silver Demon Spiritualist in their team " I said to Nie Li as I tried to leave but I got blocked by Chen Linjian who's face is in excitement.

" Are you a 3-star Silver Demon Spiritualist? Then, test this low-level soul crystal that can take 500 soul force and if you're really in a silver rank, I will let you join our expedition and I will also offer you to join our Divine Family as a family and you can change your family name to Chen. What do you say? " Chen Linjian said.

' If this guy is telling the truth, I can't let him go and must bring him to my Family at all cost even if I offered him our family name. 13 years old who reached 3-star silver rank is unheard of. ' He thought while I pondered if I should accept his offer. As I pondered, Nie Li nudged me to accept the offer since it can't harm me at all and I would have the protection of the Divine Family which is one of the major Families of Glory City.

" Sure, I'll accept your offer and be part of your family but I hope that your family doesn't restrict my actions in the future. You can do that right? " I said as Chen Linjian nodded and handed me a Soul Crystal. I put all my full soul force into the soul crystal, breaking it and showing how much of a genius I am.

With this, I become an unofficial member of the Divine Family. The reason why I'm an unofficial member is that Chen Linjian still needs to tell his family and be accepted as part of them. I don't care if I become part of the Divine Family or not since I am just here to have my fun.

Sooner or later, I would leave this world and go to another one to experience it again.

Chen Linjian then ordered the departure as he talked to me about the things in Divine Family and its history. Some members of the expedition tried to curry some favor from me because I am a silver-ranked demon spiritualist but I don't give a damn and ignored them as if they are a fly. There's also Ye Ziyun in the group and Nie Li talked to her. They are closer ever since the accident at the library where Nie Li teaches her about the Inscription.

Also, all the younger members of the Major Family joined this expedition, Shen Yue from the Sacred Family, Ye Ziyun from the Snow Wind Family, and Chen Linjian of the Divine Family who lead this expedition.

I also see Ning'er of the Winged Dragon Family, one of the seven noble families. Are my classmate and I see that she seems to be in pain even though she hides it well that even the others didn't notice it.

I walked toward her to strike a conversation since it is quite boring talking about the Divine Family.

" Hello there Fellow Classmate, Xiao Ning'er. Can I talk to you for a second, away from this place if possible since you might get embarrassed if I say it and they heard it " I said, piquing her interest in me.

" Okay, classmate. But I didn't know your name, can you tell me? "

" Oh right, I am Zhu Xiangjun or Chen Xiangjun since I become a member of the Divine Family. Just call me Xiangjun " I said as we walked somewhere away from the eyes of the other. Of course, Chen Linjian noticed us but didn't voice out. Even Nie Li notice us sneaking.

Fortunately, we are camping right now since it's been hours since we walked towards our destination.

" What do you want to talk about me, Xiangjun? " Ning'er asked, puzzled by my action.

" It's just been bugging me the whole time, you are in pain aren't you? Can you tell me why? I might have something to heal you. I can't just let you be in pain as my classmate. Also, I know you're complicated circumstances regarding the Sacred Family Shen Fei. I can help you annulled the arranged marriage cause it seems to me that you don't like him.

I also heard some rumors about that guy that he is a playboy and always gets in trouble and uses his family status. " I said, making Ning'er happy and worried.

" This... But you would get in trouble because of me, Xiangjun and I can't just pass my burden to you because you helped me. Thank you but I can't accept your offer, I don't want you to get hurt because of me and getting bullied by Shen Fei " Ning'er said as she bow and walked away.

I grabbed her hand, making Ning'er surprised and embarrassed.

" Don't go, I will just help you with your illness then. I have a method of helping you and it will be over in no time. You can trust me in this " I said as I channeled my Yang Soul Force to her since she had Artic Disease. A disease caused by practicing at night and overflowing her with Yin Energy, I can balance her Yin and Yang by transferring some of my Yang Soul Force or Energy to her. Making the bruises go little by little.

Compared to the original, I don't have to do such physical contact to heal her and instead just transfer my Yang and she's good to go. I am not a pedophile who will take advantage just because there's a treatment that requires physical touch.

Soon, the treatment had finished and Ning'er was shocked that her whole body is brimming with warm energy, which is the Yang Energy I transferred. Balancing her Yin and Yang.

" Can I have a look at your Cultivation Technique, I want to modify it since that might be the cause of your disease. " She handed me the Cultivation Technique her family kept secret and didn't even bat an eye to it. When I see the Cultivation Technique, it is full of flaws that I don't want even want to talk about it. If you compare it to purified water, this would be muddy water that is full of bacteria and can cause diarrhea if you drink it.

I modify it and also told her to use an unused soul crystal-like Nie Li did to check her soul form and attribute. She had a Yin Yang Wind Lightning Attribute and her soul form is Yin Yang Wind Dragon.

It must have been changed because of my interference and using my Yang Soul Force. Gaining her a new Attribute and Form. I modify her technique and changes its name to Yin Yang Lightning Wind Dragon Technique. It a perfect and the most suitable for her.

" Here you go. You can practice at ease now, My classmate. I gotta go or Nie Li might tease me " I said as I run back to the camp, leaving Ning'er behind.

" He... Does he make a complete and perfect cultivation technique just for me? *Blush* Am I dreaming? He also helped me cure my disease which even the best doctor hasn't heard of and can't be treated? Did he do this because he loved me? No, I am just misunderstanding my classmate's generosity to love. He must have wanted to help me, that's all. " Ning'er muttered while blushing as she walked back to the camp.

*Blush* Ning'er blushed as she kept thinking about Xiangjun.

' Is this love? ' Ning'er thought as she rolled to the futon and hide her face in the pillow.

While I am just talking with Nie Li and didn't even give a damn about Ning'er what she thinks about me.
