"What do you mean?"
Li Yuchan did not see anything special from the mirage water screen. He did not know why the old general would suddenly say such a thing.
"Yu Yuan has broken through," said the old general with a smile.
"Spirit Nurture realm?" Li Yuchan was slightly surprised. "That's a little surprising. However, he was originally at the peak of the Meridian Opening realm. It's not worth it for him to break through after encountering an opportunity, right? "
"The true fortune in that deep pit was obtained by him," the old general added.
"What opportunity?" Li Yuchan was puzzled.
"Speaking of which, I also misjudged." The old general sighed. "I originally thought that the sword-shaped patterns engraved on the moon fragment were the opportunity within."
"They aren't?" Li Yuchan was puzzled.
"They aren't." The old general shook his head gently. "The sword-shaped patterns the Fan Family clansmen studied were only the form. The true intent, or rather, the sword intent and sword soul, is actually floating in the deep pit in the wisps of spirit energy. "
"I don't know if the Yu Family kid saw through the profundity or if it was by chance, but he successfully obtained the purest sword soul."
"As I wasn't present, I can't see the exact profundity through the mirage water screen. However, I believe that the sword soul that entered his body will be of great benefit to him. "
As he spoke, the old general seemed to be interested in Yu Yuan for the first time.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Lass, continue watching over there. Oh, pay attention. Don't let that rascal Fan Li kill him in there. "
"Fan Li won't break the rules of the forbidden ground." Li Yuchan frowned.
"That kid is full of evil tricks. He might not break the rules and directly kill Yu Yuan. However, he still has a way to severely injure Yu Yuan and even destroy Yu Yuan's cultivation path, "reminded the old general.
Li Yuchan pondered for a moment and nodded. "He is indeed capable of doing such a thing."
…
"Young Master Li, the Heaven Earth spirit energy is disappearing."
"Strange. The sword-shaped patterns I studied were glowing previously. Now, they have lost their luster."
"Just now, I was able to capture a wisp of boundless and ancient intent. I don't know what's going on, but that artistic conception also mysteriously disappeared. "
Those disciples of the Fan Family also smelled that something was wrong.
Fan Li's face was still full of smiles, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
He was still sizing up Yu Yuan.
"Congratulations, Brother Yu. You're really a dragon among men. You actually managed to break through when you were descending! The moment he stepped into the Spirit Nurture stage, he actually triggered a surge of spiritual energy and went through the first round of tempering his body. "
Fan Li clicked his tongue in wonder and praised him generously.
He had witnessed Yu Yuan's breakthrough in her cultivation and her absorption of spiritual Qi with great clarity.
The other men of the Fan Family suddenly understood after hearing his words.
"It's all thanks to Big Brother Fan's kindness."
Yu Yuan stood in the middle of the stone steps and smiled from the bottom of his heart. "This is really unexpected. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth lingering here has successfully triggered me and helped me break through the bottleneck."
As he spoke, he was still secretly channeling the Nine Lights Heavenly Wheel.
"Whoosh!"
Clumps of qi, thin and scattered, pounced towards him.
Because of the Nine Lights Heavenly Wheel and his nascent embryo, the spiritual energy that drowned him grew thinner and thinner until it completely disappeared.
— They were sucked into his mouth and nose, entering through his pores.
Not long after, he opened his mouth and absorbed the last wisp of spiritual energy.
His entire body was relaxed.
The spiritual energy flowing through his twelve meridians spread to his limbs, bones, and organs, cleansing his flesh and blood.
His arms and the bones in his arms were occupied by even more fragmented sword energies.
The sword energies all exuded a vast, vast, and ancient aura. However, they were somewhat disorderly and couldn't be comprehended in a short time.
"Well, I've also broken through in my cultivation. I feel that there's no need to continue underground."
Yu Yuan lowered his head and looked at the tiny Fan Li and even smaller Fan Family clansmen. Then, he glanced at the moon fragment and suddenly said, "Big Brother Fan, I think we should part ways here."
Earlier, he accepted Fan Li's invitation and planned to go underground because he had something to rely on and wasn't afraid of Fan Li. There was another reason.
He really wanted to see the sword-shaped pattern on the moon fragment and understand its secrets.
Now, he believed that the greatest secret buried in the moon fragment, the so-called hidden opportunity, had been absorbed into his body.
Now that he had obtained what he wanted, there seemed to be no need to scheme against Fan Li anymore.
"Alright. You know that I'm doing this for your own good." Fan Li waved his hand with a smile and said, "Since you've successfully broken through and absorbed a lot of spiritual energy, you should find a place to refine your body as soon as possible."
He actually didn't ask him to stay.
The Fan Family clansmen beside him were all surprised.
Yu Yuan was shocked, but he still wore a smile on his face. "Then I'll go up first."
"Mn mn. Slow down. There's no need to rush," Fan Li answered.
"Has Fan Li changed his personality?" Han Hui had to pay close attention to listen to their conversation. Because they were too far away, she could only see Yu Yuan, but not Fan Li.
However, she knew that the two of them didn't have any formal contact at all.
Based on her understanding of Fan Li, he was incomparably vicious. There was no way that he would let Yu Yuan go so easily.
Therefore, she was full of questions.
Gao Hong and the others were also confused as to why Fan Li would let Yu Yuan go so easily.
Being in the same city, how could they not know what kind of person Fan Li was?
"See you next time."
Yu Yuan, who was just as confused, climbed up the stone steps.
Down below, Fan Li had already sat down quietly by the moon fragment. His eyes were closed, as if he were cultivating, or resting.
Yu Yuan, who was climbing up the stone steps, suddenly shuddered violently.
He came to a sudden stop!
In the next moment, he started to tremble violently. He was covered in sweat, and his face was drained of blood.
Zhao Yafu, Han Hui, and the others, who were above him, couldn't see what was going on.
The Fan Family clansmen down below couldn't see clearly either.
Only Yu Yuan himself knew what the problem was.
Earlier, a completely unfamiliar power had been mixed into the spirit energy of heaven and earth he had absorbed with the help of the Nine Lights Heavenly Wheel and his nascent embryo!
That power was both soft and resilient. It was madly destroying his flesh and vitality inside his body!
He didn't even need to think to know that the power must have come from Fan Li!
Fan Li had secretly injected a soft, feminine power into Yu Yuan's body through some unknown method. It was mixed into his spirit energy, and Yu Yuan didn't feel it at all.
As a Spirit Nurturing Realm martial practitioner, the spirit energy he absorbed into his body could be transferred to his limbs and bones through his twelve meridians!
The soft, feminine power that Fan Li had injected into his body started to run amok in his flesh and bones. It started to destroy his vitality and cause him serious injuries from the inside.
Moreover, nothing could be seen from the outside.
In fact, even if he suddenly died, no one would be able to detect it.
No one would know that Fan Li had secretly killed him.
Even if the outside world questioned them, Fan Li could explain away the fact that there was no physical contact between them. It wouldn't be a problem even if he said that Yu Yuan had an unmentionable disease and died suddenly.
Fan Li, who was resting with his eyes closed, seemed to have no idea what kind of perilous situation Yu Yuan was in right now.
As if he had thought of something interesting, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he even chuckled softly.
On the other side, Yu Yuan was in so much pain that he wished he was dead. He was facing the greatest challenge since his rebirth.
"Fan Li!"
