258: Myriad Spiritual Flowers, Nine Steps of the Heavenly Peng

Xie Cangxuan took a deep breath and said, “Your subject understands.”

The Xia Emperor said indifferently, “Xie Weilou has grown up and embarked on the path of cultivation. He now has the ability to discern right from wrong. He is the Heir of Marquis Zhenxi Manor and the future Marquis Zhenxi. All those properties, give them to him!”

Xie Cangxuan’s body trembled, and he bowed, saying, “Your subject… obeys the decree.”

All the properties of Zhenxi Marquis Manor naturally included that mansion. Now that the mansion belonged to Xie Weilou, and the other party had already driven him out, he certainly couldn’t go back.

The Xia Emperor did not discuss his expulsion too much, clearly tacitly approving Xie Weilou’s action.

“You may leave first!”

The Xia Emperor said indifferently.

Xie Weilou had already shown a hint of his sharp edge. Xie Cangxuan, this whetstone, would completely lose its value before long.

“Your subject takes his leave!”

Xie Cangxuan suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed out of the main hall. At this moment, his murderous intent was very strong. No matter what, he had to kill Xie Weilou.

It seemed Yan Wuchen couldn’t be relied upon. If that was the case, then he would have to find someone else!

The Xia Emperor looked at Xie Cangxuan’s retreating figure, feeling a hint of mockery in his heart. He couldn’t contend with Xie Nantian, nor could he contend with Xie Weilou. Such a person naturally couldn’t be a true Marquis Zhenxi.

“Ruyu, Eunuch Huang, you two may leave first. I have something to discuss with Xie Weilou.”

The Xia Emperor waved his hand lightly.

“……”

Yan Ruyu and Eunuch Huang withdrew.

Inside the main hall.

Only Xie Weilou and the Xia Emperor remained.

The Xia Emperor looked at Xie Weilou: “In just half a month, you’ve raised your cultivation to the late Xuanhuang Realm. You’re quite good, young man.”

Xie Weilou said earnestly: “The Phoenix Blood Your Majesty gave me is extremely extraordinary and has improved my root bones. My cultivation speed is very fast now; I just lack resources…”

The Xia Emperor chuckled: “In half a month, the Holy Academy will begin its enrollment. You can try then and see if you can enter the Holy Academy. If you can get in, resources will naturally not be scarce.”

The Holy Academy was good; many excellent young people in Tianqi City were there. If Xie Weilou entered, he could certainly gain good experience.

Xie Weilou immediately said: “Your subject wishes to remain in the Tianquan Division.”

The Xia Emperor looked speechless: “Don’t worry, even if you enter the Holy Academy, you will still be a person of the Tianquan Division. In a world where the strong prey on the weak, struggles for power and profit are merely a small path you must walk in your life. The endless path of cultivation is the ultimate Grand Dao. You must work hard, young man, and do not disappoint me.”

As the Heir of Marquis Zhenxi Manor, the struggle for power and profit was an unavoidable path in Xie Weilou’s life.

But in the Xia Emperor’s view, in a world where strength was revered, everything was built on the foundation of strength, and the ultimate path to take was this continuous journey of cultivation to become stronger.

As for other matters, in the grand scheme of life, they were merely minor obstacles.

Xie Weilou’s expression was serious: “Your Majesty, rest assured, your subject will definitely not disappoint you.”

“Since that is the case, you may return first! As for the position of Marquis Zhenxi, there is no rush for now. At present, you should prioritize cultivation.”

The Xia Emperor smiled and nodded.

“Your subject takes his leave!”

Xie Weilou bowed and withdrew.

— — — — — —

Zhenxi Marquis Manor.

“Greetings, Young Master.”

Butler Fu bowed to Xie Weilou; he had returned.

Xie Weilou pondered: “I know about what happened this time. If you hear similar information in the future, you can wait a bit first.”

“Alright.”

Butler Fu smiled bitterly. This time, hearing that Xie Weilou was in trouble, he immediately panicked and didn't dare to think much, directly bringing people there. As a result, they encountered an ambush, but thankfully, nothing happened.

Xie Weilou smiled and said: “Xie Cangxuan has been driven out of Zhenxi Marquis Manor by me. All the properties of the entire Zhenxi Marquis Manor have already fallen to me. You go and handle this matter. From now on, you will be the butler of my Zhenxi Marquis Manor. This time, I drove away many people; you can go and recruit a reliable group of people.”

Upon hearing this, Butler Fu immediately bowed: “Young Master, rest assured, I will handle this matter properly.”

Lihua had told him about what happened at Zhenxi Marquis Manor, which shocked him. The Young Master killing Madam Du and her son was nothing, but what shocked him most was that the Young Master actually broke Xie Cangxuan’s arm and even drove him out of Zhenxi Marquis Manor.

Xie Weilou took out a white jade bottle from his embrace and handed it to Butler Fu, saying: “There are some things in here; you can slowly study them.”

Inside were some second-grade pills he had refined, which were suitable for Butler Fu to use.

“Alright.”

Butler Fu took the jade bottle, curious about what was inside.

“The Holy Academy will begin its enrollment in half a month. Next, I will enter seclusion for half a month. During this period, unless there is a major matter, do not disturb me.”

After Xie Weilou finished speaking, he walked towards his pavilion.

“If the Young Master can enter the Holy Academy…”

A hint of anticipation appeared in Butler Fu’s eyes.

Inside the pavilion.

Xie Weilou set up Restriction, then took out several storage rings and numerous storage bags, carefully counting the items inside.

After one incense stick’s time.

The counting was complete.

There were over fifty century-old spirit herbs, ten millennium-old spirit herbs, and one ten-thousand-year-old spirit flower. These spirit herbs and spirit flowers came from the attackers and Pei Jing of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

As for the spirit herbs and medicines in the storage rings of Little Peng King and the other two, they had all been refined by Lin Qinghuang.

Besides spirit herbs and medicines, there were quite a few various weapons, magic treasures, and cultivation techniques.

“The Myriad Form Spirit Flower can be used to refine Xuanxiang Pill.”

Xie Weilou picked up a seven-colored spirit flower, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. This Myriad Form Flower came from Pei Jing’s storage ring, which was a good harvest.

He put away the Myriad Form Spirit Flower.

Then he looked at the numerous scrolls in front of him. All of these scrolls contained cultivation techniques. He quickly glanced through them and then selected three scrolls.

The first scroll came from Little Peng King; it contained a movement technique, Heavenly Peng Nine Steps.

The second scroll came from the middle-aged man of the Hehuan Sect; it contained a cultivation technique, Joyful Sitting and Forgetting Dao, which belonged to a dual cultivation method.

The third scroll came from the old man of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect; it contained a cultivation technique, Beast Taming Art.

“Heavenly Peng Nine Steps!”

Xie Weilou unrolled the scroll and carefully observed it. After reading it, his expression was somewhat surprised.

This Heavenly Peng Nine Steps was a movement technique, but also a combat skill. Once activated, it could cause one’s fighting intent to surge, power to skyrocket, and speed to increase. It was a movement combat skill of the Peng Bird Clan, extremely extraordinary.

Little Peng King using it to escape earlier was somewhat of a waste.

“This movement technique is perfect for me.”

Xie Weilou showed a thoughtful expression.

His cultivation of Seven Killings of Gods and Ghosts meant his movement technique was naturally not weak, and after his leg bones turned golden, his speed became even faster.

If he had a specialized movement combat skill, his speed could increase much more. This movement combat skill could be cultivated.

Even if this movement technique was cultivated, it couldn't be used casually, otherwise, if the Peng Bird Clan found out, it would be bad.

“This Joyful Sitting and Forgetting Dao…”

Xie Weilou looked at one scroll. This cultivation technique was also extraordinary, but he had no great interest in it.

The Beast Taming Art was also very extraordinary; it was the true beast-taming art of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. If he cultivated it, it could also have wonderful uses in the future, similar to the beast-taming abilities of Han Paopao and Old Devil Wang.

However, there was no time to cultivate it for now.

“……”

Xie Weilou put away the scrolls.

At present, he had an even more important matter: alchemy!

The Taixu Spirit Fire was already in hand, so he could consider refining third-grade and fourth-grade pills…
