238: Secret Techniques for Mending the Heavens

One month later.

Within a market in Guanghan Prefecture.

Li Shuwu's figure appeared.

She came here to replenish some Talismans and daily necessities.

“Hmm?”

Li Shuwu stepped into the market.

An unintentional glance, but her heart trembled.

Before a stall in the distance.

There were three young figures.

The three of them did not have anything on them that would reveal their identity.

The leader was a young girl of about sixteen, with a single ponytail and dressed in a white glazed dress.

Despite her young age, her cultivation was not low; the Aura she exuded actually showed Mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation.

Li Shuwu was originally a Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

Her perception was even keener.

This young girl's Mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation was actually due to a Seal being placed on her.

“This young girl's talent is probably on par with my original talent…”

Li Shuwu sighed softly in her heart, but the timing of her appearance before her was so much later.

Her Nascent Soul had already merged with Li Qinglan's Physical Body.

Her Physical Body was weak, and her Nascent Soul was gone.

At this moment, Li Shuwu was merely a Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivator with more experience, a stronger Divine Soul, and a few trump cards remaining.

Naturally, she could no longer perform the method of Possession.

“Oh!”

Li Shuwu was about to withdraw her gaze.

But she was suddenly attracted by the sense of harmonious integration exuded by the actions of the two people behind the young girl.

Li Shuwu subtly blended into the crowd.

The lingering Nascent Soul might concealed her presence.

After some time.

Li Shuwu's heart trembled.

“These two actually possess a wisp of the Origin of Water and Fire…”

This world never lacks Geniuses.

Nor does it lack people with special Physiques.

“Origin of Water and Fire…”

Li Shuwu retreated into the shadows, her expression constantly changing.

In her mind, a Dao method quietly emerged.

“Heaven-Mending Secret Art!”

“Seizing another's Foundation to supplement oneself.”

“The Dao of man, taking from the insufficient to give to the abundant.”

“…”

This was something Li Shuwu obtained from a Devil Head she had annihilated.

This Devil Head had acquired this Legacy, specifically seeking out people with special Physiques to gradually accelerate his own Cultivation speed.

However, this Demonic Cultivator eventually set his sights on the Disciples of Tiannan Pavilion.

He was casually eliminated by Li Shuwu.

This secret art was destroyed by Li Shuwu after she had read it.

At this moment, it suddenly resurfaced from the depths of her memory.

“Demonic Path Dao method…”

“If I were to do this, wouldn't it truly confirm what those people said…”

Li Shuwu murmured to herself.

“Heh!”

“It has come to this point; even if I enter the Demonic Path, what of it?”

A moment later.

Li Shuwu's expression turned ruthless.

If she were to absorb the Origin of Water and Fire from these two into herself.

Her Cultivation speed would likely increase by several folds.

Moreover, she would also be able to comprehend a trace of the profound mystery of water and fire coexisting, which would be greatly beneficial for her future Cultivation.

Zhou Dingyang and Zhou Dingze's combined efforts already brought such a significant improvement.

If the talents of both were concentrated in one person, it would undoubtedly be even more unimaginable.

Just as Li Shuwu made up her mind.

She felt a faint, indistinct Aura of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator coming from high up in the distant sky.

“A Protector…”

“It seems I need to plan this carefully…”

Li Shuwu quietly changed direction, subtly purchased some Talismans, and then left the market.

Within the market.

Zhou Xiutong took Zhou Dingyang and Zhou Dingze, looking left and right, feeling quite at ease and comfortable.

She didn't pay attention to the faint, lingering gazes.

They had traveled all this way.

They had encountered all sorts of Cultivators.

There had also been several instances where they met rogue Cultivators who wanted to rob them of their wealth and lust.

However, usually, the Storage Pouches of these people became resources for the three of them.

“Senior Sister, what's so good about this small market…”

Zhou Dingze followed behind, feeling quite bored.

This market was not large, and most of the items sold were treasures needed by Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivators.

They were of no use to the three of them.

But Zhou Xiutong was browsing with great interest.

From time to time, she would also make the two of them spend Spirit Stones to buy some items of unknown use.

In Zhou Dingze's eyes, these items were all useless.

But they did have good designs and attracted many female Cultivators.

Zhou Xiutong was in high spirits, and she glanced at Zhou Dingze.

She raised her chin and snorted.

“There must be a reason for me, this Senior Sister, to do this.”

“As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.”

“I am conducting practical research, understand?”

Zhou Xiutong was speaking nonsense with a serious face.

Zhou Dingze paused, at a loss, and looked towards Zhou Dingyang on his left.

Zhou Dingyang returned a look of ‘don't worry’ and said no more.

“Alright, Senior Sister is brilliant!”

Seeing Zhou Xiutong's unfriendly gaze.

Zhou Dingze cupped his hands and sighed, saying.

“Junior Brother Three, you should learn more from Junior Brother Two. Look at him, unperturbed by favor or disgrace.”

“You're so jumpy, how can I, your Senior Sister, be at ease with you?”

Zhou Xiutong put on the airs of a Senior Sister, lecturing him with a serious expression.

“Yes, yes…”

Zhou Dingze said perfunctorily.

He muttered in his heart: Big Brother has long since become numb… After a while.

The three of them finally finished browsing the entire market.

Zhou Dingyang and Zhou Dingze's hands were full of items.

Zhou Xiutong would occasionally turn back and pick up an item.

She would hold it up against herself.

Most of them were decorative items.

After making her selection, Zhou Xiutong decorated most of the items from their hands onto herself; the remaining ones were skillfully put back into their Storage Pouches by the two of them.

Zhou Xiutong turned around a few times, nodded in satisfaction, and led the two of them towards the outside of the market.
