67: Chapter 66 Nangong Miao's Judgment

After sending a message to Wen Xinmei to report that he was safe,

Nangong Miao brought Li Fan to the Spirit Refining Room in an instant.

At this moment, Wen Xinran was practicing Alchemy while meditating on her Cultivation Technique; Nangong Miao saw this and nodded.

"It is indeed the same Cultivation Technique her sister practices."

She then turned to Li Fan.

"This Cultivation Technique has quite a few intricacies regarding the path of Alchemy."

"Once she Cultivates it to Perfection,"

"It should be of significant help to my husband on the path of Immortal cultivation."

Nangong Miao smiled with satisfaction; what she worried about most was Li Fan's laid-back nature.

After all, the path to immortality is Heaven-Defying; no matter how indifferent one is to the world, trouble will eventually come knocking.

Only by constantly achieving a Breakthrough is the Righteous Path.

Li Fan also looked at Wen Xinran, illuminated by the glow of the Pill Furnace; her hair was a bit messy, and there was furnace ash on her face.

It seemed that apart from Alchemy, she had been practicing her Cultivation Technique without stopping for a moment.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"I will definitely treat the Wen sisters well."

After saying this, Li Fan withdrew his gaze and tossed a corpse into the Spirit Gathering Array of the Spirit Refining Room.

Nangong Miao had been puzzled earlier as to why Li Fan specifically collected this Nascent Soul corpse.

She had originally thought Li Fan asked her to intervene to clear obstacles for Wen Xinmei.

She hadn't expected there to be other motives.

"I wonder, husband, what is the meaning of this?"

Li Fan did not answer, but instead took a Cultivation Technique manual from his robes and handed it to Nangong Miao.

"Body Seizing Art?"

Looking at the large characters on the cover of the manual, Nangong Miao was somewhat puzzled.

She then used her Divine Sense to read through the entire manual in an instant, and her confusion immediately turned into astonishment.

"To think there is such a Demonic Technique that plunders others' destiny?"

Li Fan had originally intended for Nangong Miao to learn the key points of this technique and use it.

He had not expected her to be so shocked.

Logically speaking, given Nangong Miao's experience as a princess of an imperial clan, she should have seen similar Demonic Techniques.

Therefore, Li Fan simply handed the Three Spirits Technique passed down by the Xuannü Civilization to Nangong Miao to look over as well.

He also told her about the existence of the "Duoling Technique."

Upon hearing this news, Nangong Miao remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Li Fan asked.

"What is it? Does the Zhonghuang Heaven where Ah Miao resides not practice these techniques?"

"Our Xuannü Civilization has been practicing the Three Spirits Technique for nearly a hundred years."

Nangong Miao looked up at Li Fan's matter-of-fact expression; she spread her Divine Sense around, seemingly confirming something.

Before long, her expression turned serious, and she looked at Li Fan gravely.

"Spiritual Roots and Physiques are all obtained at birth."

"Let alone Fusion; even improving them is a fantasy."

"Plundering, while there are precedents, never fails to require a huge price."

Saying this, she held the manuals in her hand.

"These techniques not only have obvious effects,"

"But even Mortals can practice them..."

Finally, Nangong Miao gave her assessment of these techniques:

"Appalling..."

Li Fan realized the severity of the situation through her words.

It turned out that these techniques only circulated within the Xuannü Civilization, and it was thanks to the strict order established by the authorities that they could present a flourishing state.

If they were to spread to the true Immortal Realm, the resulting bloodshed would be enough to change an era.

At the same time, Nangong Miao continued:

"I just investigated a bit."

"In the Xuannü Civilization, the proportion of Cultivators with high Aptitude far exceeds that of ordinary Star Domains."

"The overall standard is above that of a Star River; even if placed in the entire Star Sea, it is outstanding."

This left Li Fan confused; what Star River or Star Sea? He only knew of the Xuannü Star Domain.

Nangong Miao naturally saw Li Fan's confusion and explained to him:

"Tens of thousands of Star Domains like Xuannü make up a Star River."

"Tens of thousands of Star Rivers make up a Star Sea."

"Over a hundred Star Seas constitute the Dafan Heaven where you reside."

After this crash course from Nangong Miao, Li Fan finally understood.

The Xuannü Star Domain was merely a border region bordering Lingyun Heaven.

How could it possibly have such a high proportion of high-Aptitude Cultivators?

Clearly, a hundred years ago, the entire Star Domain didn't even have Spiritual Qi.

The current Spiritual Qi all comes from the Secret Realm.

Thinking of this, a thought flashed through Li Fan's mind, and he suddenly realized.

That was it; what brought such huge changes to the Xuannü Civilization were the Secret Realms that had been appearing constantly since a hundred years ago.

He looked up and met Nangong Miao's eyes.

And Nangong Miao had also deduced a thing or two by now.

"This Star Domain must have had extraordinary Secret Realms appear."

"And these techniques were all unearthed from that Secret Realm."

Having said this, she changed the subject.

"Husband, why not take the Wen sisters and come with me to Zhonghuang Heaven?"

"Before we leave, I will kill all the living beings in this Star Domain."

"To prevent these Secret Realm techniques from spreading."

Li Fan naturally knew the principle that an innocent man is innocent, but treasures make him guilty.

But Zhonghuang Heaven was the true top-tier Immortal Realm.

Sects stood in great numbers, people's hearts were unfathomable, the weak were the prey of the strong, and it was filled with schemes and slaughter everywhere.

By comparison, the Xuannü Civilization before him could already be considered orderly and kind.

He also had the System's support, and his cultivation speed far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Even if the secret of this Star Domain were to be discovered by the outside world sooner or later, when that time came, he could just use his own strength to fly away.

Therefore, Li Fan shook his head.

Seeing this, Nangong Miao did not try to persuade him further.

She had always been like this; no matter what decision Li Fan made, she would unconditionally support it.

Furthermore, when she returned to Zhonghuang Heaven, she would have to devote herself to the imperial clan's Legacy, and she wouldn't be able to look after Li Fan then.

Comparing the ecological environment of Zhonghuang Heaven to the Xuannü Star Domain, it was hard to say which was better or worse.

However, in her heart, Nangong Miao silently postponed the date she had set for her return.

Before leaving, she wanted to make more preparations to ensure that if any emergencies occurred, Li Fan would be safe and sound.

Looking at the yawning Li Fan, Nangong Miao raised a faint smile.

She also wanted to live in the Xuannü Civilization for a long time, accompany Li Fan in a leisurely life, and watch him grow until the day he could protect her.

It was just that the identity of being an Emperor's descendant pushed her forward, and she could not turn back.

This matter came to a pause, and Nangong Miao put away her thoughts and continued to ask:

"Husband, what are you here for in the Spirit Refining Room this time?"

Hearing this, the corners of Li Fan's mouth twitched.

He knew that with Nangong Miao's Divine Sense perception, and the "Body Seizing Art" he had just given her,

how could she not know what was going to happen next?

Such a question was nothing more than...

Nangong Miao looked at Chang Yufei on the sofa with amusement, and spoke faintly:

"Husband, it's only been a few days and you've brought back another one."

"I did say I didn't mind you having multiple wives and concubines."

"But does husband really intend to have multiple wives and concubines?"

Looking at Nangong Miao's expression, which was half-smile and half-serious, Li Fan cried out that it was not good.

This was wronging him; Li Fan had absolutely no feelings for Chang Yufei.

Just based on the high-and-mighty queen persona she created at the Xianmi Group, Li Fan couldn't like her.

After all, he didn't want to be a simp, and he didn't know where Chang Yufei got so many simping fans.

Therefore, Li Fan quickly explained:

"Ah Miao, this person is really not my Dao Companion."

"I'm just saving her in passing."

Nangong Miao could still tell how much truth there was in her husband's words.

However, she still silently raised four fingers.

Four days, just forty-eight hours without stopping.

Who couldn't do it? Who couldn't manage it!?

But Li Fan, who hadn't recovered yet, really couldn't hold up now.

So he reached out and pushed back two of Nangong Miao's jade fingers, then held her hands tightly.

"Ah Miao, let your husband save up for a few more days."

"Alright..."
