42: Nine Revolutions Heavenly Technique, Supreme Regeneration Technique!

At noon, the scorching sun hung high in the sky.

The streets of Yunzhou City were bustling with people, and even more so after the events of last night gradually spread, with even more expected in the future.

Inside the tavern, after the tavern owner finished his busy work, he looked at Lin Qingyue, who had been waiting for a long time, shook his pipe, and said softly.

"How come I heard that the Demon Suppression Division fought against the Yao Race first, and Lord Shen single-handedly annihilated all the Yao? What does that have to do with you?"

Last night, when the Yao Race attacked the city, he had already run to the rear of Yunzhou and hadn't witnessed any of it, only hearing many rumors.

When he returned today, he didn't go to the pawn shop but came to his own tavern.

He happened to meet Lin Qingyue, who was asking for directions and had come looking for him.

"Didn't you hear that at the critical moment, a devastatingly handsome Cultivator rushed into the Yao Race army and saved the Xiao Family Young Miss?" Lin Qingyue pressed, looking incredulous.

I'm such a big person, did no one see me?

Come on, I also contributed, okay!

The tavern owner looked up at Lin Qingyue with a strange expression: "Is that so?"

“...” Lin Qingyue was speechless, wanting to curse, but couldn't find any reason.

Alas!

What a mess!

This old geezer asked me to get the sword but didn't even give me any silver!

Forget it... this is fate... Lin Qingyue turned away dejectedly. Just as he was about to leave, a soft voice, along with the owner's voice, rang out simultaneously.

"Wait!"

"This Young Master... I... I... believe you."

"Shop... Shopkeeper, I'll pay for Young Master Lin's silver..."

Lin Qingyue looked over upon hearing the voice, only to see a sweet-faced girl in a green dress standing by the tavern. She lowered her head, somewhat afraid to meet Lin Qingyue's gaze. Her eyes, like gemstones, sparkled, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and her skin was like congealed jade.

At this moment, Lin Qingyue was stunned in place, having forgotten to listen to the tavern owner's words... "Young people are too impatient. Although I don't believe you killed Yao, I didn't say I don't believe you won't repay the money. You can come with me to get the sword."

"Now that Yunzhou is peaceful, I'm also happy. Even if you don't repay this money, it doesn't matter..."

...[Ding, congratulations Host for unlocking the achievement: Receiving a Daughter of Destiny Junior Sister again! Reward: Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art — Void Return (Rare), preaching value: 200 points (can be exchanged for 200 years of simulated Cultivation), additional mission reward: Supreme Regeneration Art]

[Supreme Regeneration Art: This art is not a Divine Ability or Cultivation Technique, but a divine art tailor-made for those born with a supreme bone. Its function is to transform one's own bones and blood into supreme bone and Supreme blood. Upon reaching Major Achievement, one can possess a Supreme Divine Physique.]

Shen Nian paid attention to the System's rewards, his heart filled with joy.

It truly gives him what he lacks.

The Heavenly Profound Heart Sutra of the Heavenly Sword Sect that he Cultivated was truly trash, and he could only Cultivate it to the Nascent Soul Realm. To go further, he would need a new Cultivation Technique. Now, with this Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

The most crucial thing was that it also came with 200 years of simulation. This was a bit too generous!

It was faster than letting his Junior Sister grow. It's just that these fated female protagonists weren't cabbages; otherwise, he would have planned to take a few hundred of them first. Wouldn't that send him soaring?

"This Supreme Regeneration Art, you could have just said it was prepared for Xia Youyue, it's so obvious..." Shen Nian finally looked at a golden scroll and said, feeling a bit speechless.

At this moment.

Guo Dewu silently ate his meal, savoring the dishes. Although Cultivators could achieve Bigu (a type of fasting) (Bìgǔ - abstention from grains) after Foundation Establishment, many still maintained the habit of eating.

There were two reasons: first, after Cultivating, they gradually shed their Mortal bodies, and after Soul Transformation, they could live for thousands of years. Over time, they would gradually lose their humanity, so eating and drinking served as a constant reminder that they were once Mortals.

The second reason was that the food consumed by Cultivators was not ordinary. It often included Heaven And Earth Treasure and Yao Beast Physical Body, which had the effect of strengthening the body and cultivating the origin after consumption. It was rumored that eating the flesh of the Monster Realm's royal family could even grant a certain chance of acquiring their Bloodline Divine Ability.

Of course, most Cultivators ate for the second reason.

"Hmm?"

"That beast is going to break through the Seal so quickly?" Guo Dewu suddenly felt something, and a golden dotted line in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly showed signs of breaking, causing his brows to furrow.

At this moment.

Xia Youyue had returned to her seat but wasn't eating. Instead, she looked at Xiao Qinger and chuckled, "From now on, you'll be my Senior Sister. I hope you'll guide me more."

She greeted her out of politeness and didn't show any disdain despite the other party's lower Realm.

A woman who could almost fight a Golden Core to the death at Foundation Establishment, her talent goes without saying. Her courage alone was worthy of her respect.

Furthermore.

She had a great impression of this girl who could say, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a poor young girl." As fellow women who had both been suppressed, it was normal for Xia Youyue to feel this way.

"Ah... no, no, no."

"It's the Inspector who should guide me more. I'm only at the Foundation Establishment Realm..." Xiao Qinger said awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Xia Youyue merely smiled faintly, saying nothing.

For a moment, silence suddenly fell.

"Young Master Shen, on behalf of the Xiao Family, I toast you." Clan Head suddenly stood up with a solemn expression, holding his wine cup with immense respect.

He had actually wanted to thank Shen Nian for a long time but never found the opportunity. He knew very well that without Shen Nian's appearance, both Xiao Qinger and the Xiao Family would have been torn apart.

After saying that, he drained his cup and was about to bow.

Whoosh~

A gentle breeze supported him, preventing his bent back from fully bowing.

"Old Clan Chief Xiao, there's no need for this..."

"I am your daughter's Senior Brother, so it's not appropriate for you to bow to me..."

"Besides, killing Yao is what I should do. If you must thank someone, then thank yourself for being lucky enough to have a good daughter..."

Shen Nian spoke softly, his gaze falling on Clan Head, then he silently picked up his wine cup and drank.

He didn't particularly like Clan Head, but those who could give birth to a Daughter of Destiny were generally upright and honorable people, so he naturally wouldn't dislike him.

And what Shen Nian said was indeed true. Clan Head was indeed lucky. Even without his existence, his future days would undoubtedly be smooth sailing.

Could a fated female protagonist not rise to power?

"Senior Brother..." Xiao Qinger, hearing this, looked at Shen Nian shyly. This was the second time her Senior Brother had praised her.

(*^▽^*) Happy!

Shen Nian glanced at her and said indifferently, "Sentimental."

“...” Xiao Qinger pouted, but a smile still graced her cheeks.

Xia Youyue, standing by, silently watched all this. As a newcomer, she didn't feel it appropriate to interject.

Clan Head felt the gentle spiritual energy, paused for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter, "Young Master Shen is right, this old man was being sentimental. Then, this old man will presumptuously call you 'Virtuous Nephew' and drink three more cups!"

Shen Nian smiled gently, said nothing, and silently drank his wine, feeling nothing at all.

"This wine has no kick, does it?"

"Is it a problem with my Physique?"

Guo Dewu, standing beside him, looked at Shen Nian with displeasure.

"Hmph!"

"Aren't you usually good at handling things? Why are you so cold to this old man!"

"You don't even call me Senior Martial Uncle!"

Actually, he completely misunderstood Shen Nian; Shen Nian was like that with everyone.

After three rounds of drinks, the idle chatter continued.

"Come, Lord Xia, I toast you. In the future, you and my daughter will be together on Ninth Mountain, so you must look out for each other. Speaking of which, this is truly a huge destiny!" Clan Head's face was flushed, his eyes a bit hazy, then he raised another bowl of wine.

Beside him, Xiao Qinger frowned slightly and said, "Dad, stop drinking. Your body..."

"It's fine!"

"Dad is happy today!"

Xia Youyue smiled faintly, raised her wine cup, and drank it all.

Just then.

Thump, thump, thump!

A knock on the door sounded.

"Mountain Lord Guo, Young Master Shen, may we come in?"
