Ch 95: Breakthrough In Cultivation
“Thank you, Revered Teacher!”
After everyone left, Liu Zhennan was extremely excited, and he led his disciples in bowing to Li Hanzhou again.
Today, they finally had a chance to hold their heads high.
Usually, these people from the Book Gate held their noses high and were very arrogant, looking down on everyone. Yet today, they were thoroughly lectured by Li Hanzhou.
And they had to apologize to the Profound Gate in front of the Four Gates.
Just listening to that is satisfying!
If it weren’t for Li Hanzhou, how could they ever hear an apology from the Book Gate in their lives?
Li Hanzhou didn’t bother correcting whether he was their Revered Teacher or not. He picked up the Spirit Crystal in his hand and said to Liu Zhennan, “Where did you get this thing?”
“Revered Teacher said Spirit Crystal?”
Liu Zhennan asked.
“Yes, I feel that it contains abundant Spiritual Power. Where did you get this thing?” Li Hanzhou asked.
“Spirit Crystals form naturally,” Liu Zhennan said. “Tiangu City is the only place in the Tianxuan Realm enveloped by Spiritual Energy. Over time, in some corners of Tiangu City, it’s very likely that some Spirit Crystals will be born. They are formed from the crystallization of Heaven and Earth. The Spiritual Power in Spirit Crystals can be converted into True Qi by Martial Artists and absorbed, which is beneficial for cultivation. However, this thing is very rare and very expensive. Not many people use it for cultivation, but some people will buy it for backup. If they ever encounter True Qi depletion, a Spirit Crystal is a lifesaver.”
“I see. Then where can I buy this thing?” Li Hanzhou asked again.
“This thing isn’t sold often. Even in the merchant guilds of Tiangu City, you can only buy one or two. Revered Teacher can wait until the Tiangu City Auction sometime later; someone will surely auction them off then.”
Liu Zhennan said thoughtfully.
“Oh, thank you. I’ll go back first.” Li Hanzhou turned to leave.
“Revered Teacher, the Book Gate will apologize to our Profound Gate. Won’t Revered Teacher come and watch?” Liu Zhennan quickly asked.
“Not interested. You guys go ahead.” Li Hanzhou said helplessly, “Don’t call me Revered Teacher. I’m really not suitable to be your teacher.”
“Then… if this student has questions, I hope Revered Teacher will help this student solve them in the future.” Liu Zhennan bowed again.
Li Hanzhou was truly scared off by this old man.
He waved his hand and left.
He never expected that just going out for a stroll would cause so much trouble.
Li Hanzhou returned to his residence. Li Changshou and Shi Ming hadn’t returned yet. The two of them didn’t know where they had gone for a stroll.
Li Hanzhou eagerly sat down and began to circulate his 《Northern Emperor Art》, then tried to draw Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Crystal to help him cultivate.
In just a moment, Li Hanzhou discovered that his Cultivation Method and the Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Crystal reacted. Although the Spirit Crystal was small, it was the crystallization of Spiritual Energy that had been accumulating for countless years; the Spiritual Energy it contained was substantial, even vast.
Li Hanzhou unceremoniously absorbed all the Spiritual Energy.
The multicolored Spirit Crystal floated in front of Li Hanzhou,
As Li Hanzhou absorbed it, it became smaller and smaller, while the Spiritual Power in Li Hanzhou’s body soared!
After an unknown amount of time, Li Hanzhou felt that the shackles in his body were suddenly broken, and his Spiritual Power rose to another level.
From Qi Refining Third Level to Qi Refining Fourth Level!
Although it was only a single level increase, it was a huge step forward for Li Hanzhou. His inner Spiritual Power was more vast and refined, and even the circulation of his Cultivation Method and Martial Arts became much smoother.
This made Li Hanzhou very happy.
If he had enough Spirit Crystals, he might have a chance to reach Foundation Establishment!
But the number of Spirit Crystals is scarce, and it’s not easy to obtain them.
He could only try his luck at the auction.
Li Hanzhou had just opened his eyes when he saw Li Changshou sitting opposite him.
“Congratulations, Junior Brother. Your cultivation level has improved again.” Li Changshou looked at Li Hanzhou in surprise and said, “Junior Brother, the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth is depleted. How did you cultivate Spiritual Power?”
“I don’t know. I just cultivated naturally.”
Li Hanzhou truly didn’t know.
He could cultivate Spiritual Power from the moment he arrived in this world.
“You don’t even know yourself?” Li Changshou pondered, “Then it seems that the Patriarch must have appeared.”
“How long have I been cultivating?” Li Hanzhou looked at the setting sun outside; it seemed that it was very late.
“Three days.”
Li Changshou held up three fingers.
“So long?” Li Hanzhou was somewhat surprised. He felt that only a short while had passed.
How could three days have passed?
No wonder those cultivators in novels often flick their fingers, and hundreds of years pass. It seems that it’s true.
“Junior Brother, I’m increasingly unable to see through you.” Li Changshou leaned in, getting so close to Li Hanzhou’s face that their faces were almost touching.
Before Li Hanzhou could speak, Li Changshou said, “The Book Gate, the first of the four gates of Tianxuan Academy, actually apologized to the Profound Gate in front of the four gates, and said that you taught them how to be human with a poem and a song? And the Sect Master of the Profound Gate, Liu Zhennan, was even more exaggerated, publicly acknowledging you as his teacher. Now your name is very famous in Tianxuan Academy. The number of people who have come to visit you these two days is countless.”
“Some came to ask for poems, some wanted to know if you have a Dao companion, and Liu Zhennan came several times, saying he wanted to ask you questions, but because you were in secluded cultivation, I sent them all away.” Li Changshou said with a smile, “My Junior Brother, what else can you do that I don’t know about? Was the Li Hanzhou who only ate, drank, and played around before, really Li Hanzhou? You’ve been hiding for so many years, what is your intention?”
What intention? Nonsense.
Li Hanzhou silently complained in his heart. The previous Li Hanzhou was simply a good-for-nothing, alright?
This Young Master is simply excellent.
“Senior Brother, just talk. You don’t need to get so close. If someone sees us like this later, they’ll think we…”
Just as he said this, there was a thud.
The two turned their heads and saw Little Shi Ming standing at the door, two steaming buns already fallen to the ground.
Seeing the two looking over, Shi Ming looked nervous and ran out, “Master, Martial Uncle, I didn’t see anything.”
Li Changshou froze, realizing that his current posture with Li Hanzhou looked a little flirtatious.
“Shi Ming, let me explain to you!” Li Changshou quickly chased after him.
Li Hanzhou helplessly shook his head.
His senior brother was truly unreliable. It seemed he would have to find a way to change him back into a male.
Just then, a familiar voice came from outside: “Revered Teacher, this student, Liu Zhennan, is visiting.”
“Why is this old geezer here again?” Li Hanzhou felt a headache coming on.
