58: Accepting disciples

“Alright, I won't tease you anymore.”

“I've already seen your problem.”

“The only solution is to disperse your Cultivation and re-Cultivate!”

Li Xiangyun said seriously.

“Disperse Cultivation and re-Cultivate?” Wang Ning's expression stiffened. If he was willing to give up his Cultivation, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to come here.

What's more, dispersing Cultivation and re-Cultivating isn't just talk; it also carries risks.

A slight oversight could easily lead to ruptured Meridians and death.

“What if I can use the Spiritual Qi you disperse to help you with Body Refining?” Li Xiangyun seemed to see Wang Ning's concerns and continued with a smile.

“Really?” Wang Ning's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly.

“Naturally, it's true. I see that your Physical Body is strong, roughly at the seventh level of Qi Refining. If supplemented with the Spiritual Qi of the fifth level of Qi Refining for Body Refining…”

“I imagine your Physical Body will be sufficient until your Qi Refining Cultivation rises.”

Hearing this, Wang Ning took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and asked, “So, what's the price?”

“Heh~” Li Xiangyun sneered, “Do you think you can afford what I want?”

“I don't need you to pay anything, and I can even give you a Body Refining Cultivation Technique. I only hope you will treat her sincerely.”

“I haven't been by this child's side since she was little, and I don't know what friends she has.”

“But I can tell you are one. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought you here to see me.”

“She treats you sincerely; I just hope you don't let her down!”

After speaking, Li Xiangyun looked at Wang Ning with a serious expression, making his heart tremble slightly, feeling a bit moved.

“Immortal Master, rest assured. Senior Sister Li saved my life, and Wang Ning will never let her down in this life.”

“At the same time, Immortal Master, Wang Ning is eternally grateful for your kindness today.”

“Good, in that case, follow me!”

Li Xiangyun stood up, led Wang Ning to a secret chamber, then cast a spell to help him disperse his Cultivation, and imparted the «Great Sun Glazed Body» to him.

Great Sun Glazed Body: Using the True Sun Fire as a guide, temper the Physical Body to ultimately achieve the Great Sun Glazed Body.

This Cultivation Technique is extremely fierce and overbearing, making it very suitable for Wang Ning.

Time slowly passed, and night fell.

Li Xiangyun saw Wang Ning's aura gradually stabilize, so he left the secret chamber and returned outside.

At this moment, the galaxy flowed, casting its afterglow, and a gentle breeze carried wafts of floral fragrance.

Li Xiangyun saw the small girl kneeling in the courtyard.

“Alas~ another troublesome matter.”

Li Xiangyun sighed and walked towards the girl.

Seeing this, the girl quickly kowtowed and said, “Please, Ice Peak Zhenren, save my older brother!”

Li Xiangyun said helplessly, “I've already told you, your older brother is dead. How can I save him?”

The girl didn't answer, only continued to plead, “Please, Ice Peak Zhenren, save my older brother!”

In fact, how could the girl not know that the dead cannot be resurrected?

But she just didn't want to, and refused to accept the fact that her older brother had died.

Looking at the stubborn girl, Li Xiangyun thought of many things in an instant. Finally, he slowly said, “Although the dead cannot be resurrected…”

“But this is a Cultivation world; anything is possible. It's just that my strength is insufficient, so I cannot do it.”

“Since that's the case, should I teach you to Cultivate?”

“Cultivate?” The girl looked up, her lifeless eyes brightening slightly.

“That's right, Cultivate.” Seeing the girl finally regain her Life Qi, Li Xiangyun continued, “If a Golden Core True Person can't do it, then Cultivate to Nascent Soul. If Nascent Soul can't do it, then to Infant Transformation.”

“If Infant Transformation still can't do it, then continue to Cultivate until Immortal Ascension!”

“Immortal?” The light in the girl's eyes grew brighter.

“That's right, as long as your strength is strong enough, one day, you will be able to do anything you want!”

Hearing this, the girl didn't hesitate and immediately bowed.

“Disciple, greets Revered Master!”

“Please, Revered Master, teach Disciple to Cultivate!”

“Quite clever.” Li Xiangyun smiled and helped the girl up.

“Do you have a name?” Li Xiangyun asked.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

Li Xiangyun looked at the girl with some surprise and continued to ask, “Do you have a name you like?”

The girl thought for a moment and replied, “Li Hentian!”

Li Xiangyun was startled, “Li Hentian?”

“What a 'Hate Heaven'!”

Looking at the girl in front of him, Li Xiangyun seemed to see a familiar figure.

In fact, Li Xiangyun initially had no intention of taking the girl as a Disciple.

After all, Li Xiangyun had already tested her Spiritual Root, which was a Five Elements miscellaneous Spiritual Root.

One could say she only had a glimmer of hope for Cultivation, but absolutely no need for cultivation.

But clearly, the girl's tenacity and persistence moved him.

A child of only five or six years old, able to kneel for two hours under the sun—this perseverance was touching.

Therefore, Li Xiangyun had the idea of taking her as a Disciple.

He also wanted to see how far a person could go in the Cultivation world with perseverance and determination.

So, Li Xiangyun then smiled and said, “I have never taken a Disciple before. You are the first, and possibly the only one.”

“As the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day, a father for life.' From now on, I am your Revered Master.”

“If you ever encounter any danger in the future, remember, I am still behind you!”

“Revered Master…” The girl was a little moved, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Alright, don't cry. Revered Master is here!” Li Xiangyun gently hugged the girl, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

At the same time, he cast a spell to alleviate the pain in the girl's knees.

And this strong girl finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

“Wuwu~ Revered Master, I miss my older brother so much, and my parents too…”

Li Xiangyun didn't speak, gently patting the girl's back.

Gradually, the tired girl fell asleep in Li Xiangyun's arms… “Still just a child!” Li Xiangyun smiled helplessly, carried the girl into the room, covered her with a quilt, and then left.

In the darkness, not long after Li Xiangyun left, the girl opened her bright eyes… A moment later, Li Xiangyun brought Li Xingyan to the mountain path.

Then, Fire Old's ethereal figure slowly emerged.

“Fire Old!”

Fire Old glanced at Li Xiangyun, saying indifferently, “Have the Materials been collected?”

“Precisely!”

Li Xiangyun nodded and took out the Materials.

Various Heaven And Earth Treasures, dozens of them in total, emitted dazzling light under the starry sky, brilliant and captivating.

Li Xingyan, standing nearby, was dazzled, his mouth agape.

But Fire Old merely glanced at them and then grumbled, “Taking a bottle of your Soul Gathering Liquid is truly like being a beast of burden!”

Hearing this, Li Xiangyun smiled, took out a jade bottle from his embrace, handed it to Fire Old, and said, “I'll trouble Fire Old!”

Fire Old opened it and found it was indeed a bottle of Soul Gathering Liquid.

Fire Old's eyes lit up, but he still feigned reserve and said, “At least you're a little conscientious, kid.”

“Never mind~”

“Watch me perform Alchemy!”

Subsequently, a Pill Furnace, entirely dark black, covered with dark gold cloud patterns, and with the twenty-eight constellations carved on its body, appeared before everyone's eyes.
