Chapter 862: Chapter 403: Courtesan Sister, Remarkable Archery, Status Ascends, Officially a Tiqi!

The courtesan may be exceptionally beautiful, but what does that have to do with him? If the Heavy Pupils were to spy, it would instead alert attention, leading to trouble. Li Xian thought, "Have I, Li Xian, never experienced beauty before? Women like this are extremely dangerous. It’s best not to associate with them!"

With his eyes observing, he saw his seat was superfluous, placed inconspicuously, and left quietly without anyone knowing.

He then left the school field with light steps. After traveling several miles and turning a corner, the cheers and whistles gradually faded, and he thought, "I have been intensely training three Martial Arts recently, and I’m quite exhausted. Why not take this opportunity to rest for half an hour before continuing my training?"

He found a serene garden scene. Jumping onto a large tree, he lay on the canopy, closed his eyes, and lightly dozed off, releasing all his fatigue. This nap was very comfortable, with the gentle breeze and the sounds of birds and flowers. The Gold Appraisal Guard gathered mostly on the school field, and this place was quiet and undisturbed.

Li Xian used his arm as a pillow, the dense leaves of the tree canopy as curtains. Shielding the sun’s light, even though motes of light filtered through the gaps in the leaves, they still fell upon him, adding warmth and comfort.

Li Xian took leisure amidst busyness, indulging in relaxation from the heart. He murmured softly to himself, "You have your beautiful courtesan; I have my ragged branch bed. Hehe, no one gets in anyone’s way. I’ll sleep well first."

Strands of hair remained on the field, ready to reveal any abnormality instantly. Without a worry, his eyes closed and descended into sleep.

After half an hour, energy surged, fatigue somewhat dissipated. Perfect Appearance enhances healing power exceptionally, making it hard to disrupt. Wen Caishang also possesses Perfect Appearance, likewise. Once the two are disrupted, it can be said...

Li Xian discarded his distracting thoughts, focused on his hair, noticing the field hadn’t dispersed, the polo match reaching the second half. Li Xian, holding a shallow position and with great effort to remain inconspicuous, naturally garnered no attention.

He washed his face with Clear Water, unsheathed his saber, and began diligently practicing.

Only Heaven rewards those who strive, Li Xian’s half-month of rigorous training bore fruit. The calibration standard is "Minor Achievement," most Gold Appraisal Guards’ attainment being "Minor Achievement." Li Xian has reached his goal, yet dare not relax, continuing diligently, steadily advancing until the dust settles!

During this half-month, drinking Essence Soup daily. Able to obtain fifteen strands of Essence of Heaven and Earth, through consumption enhancement, can obtain close to thirty strands. Capable of retaining about twenty strands.

Li Xian trained his Martial Arts diligently every day. Drinking Essence Soup daily, everything was digestible on the same day. As such, during this half-month period, a total of three hundred and twenty-four strands were digested. The progress of Bone Shaping and Embryo advanced steadily.

Li Xian felt quite joyful, thinking, "Though my resources are scarce, often seeking but not receiving Essence Treasure, skill consumption can instead fill the void of resource scarcity! The Gold Appraisal Guard alone makes it worth my full effort to pursue!"

Martial Arts Second Realm Bone Shaping and Embryo is divided into six progresses. Li Xian can be considered to have stepped into the second progress, with crystalline bone quality, emitting a coolness. His whole body felt comfortable, Li Xian’s saber style was even mightier, his Qi Power more vigorous.

A vertical imprint between the brows glowed. Complemented the mysterious face, fully masked. Li Xian, relentlessly practicing martial arts, sparing no effort to seek.

...

Another half an hour passed, Li Xian was in high spirits, Dubhe Saber Technique dancing freely. Suddenly sensed movement, hearing footsteps from afar, it was Xu Shaoqian, originally galloping at the polo field, accompanied by a young woman in a green dress.

The young woman was petite, her face adorned with makeup, eyebrows sharp, a slightly square face with very lively eyes. She was the personal maid of the courtesan from Bi Xiao Long Dream Tower, Tao Xiangrong, named "Liang Xiaoshi."

Xu Shaoqian laughed, "Girl Xiaoshi, persuading Tao Xiangrong to come watch polo must have taken some diplomacy from you, right?"

Liang Xiaoshi said, "Naturally. I told my sister that if she wants to appreciate a man’s talents, she should witness them on the polo field. If he can handle a fierce horse, one can know this man’s ability; if he can outplay his rivals, it shows his ambition."

Liang Xiaoshi paused slightly and said, "I also mentioned the Gold Appraisal Guard’s Central Lang General is outstanding. Sister might as well consider."

Xu Shaoqian asked, "What did Xiangrong say?" Liang Xiaoshi replied, "Sister said the Gold Appraisal Guard’s Central Lang General is indeed a rare exemplary man."

It turned out... Xu Shaoqian aimed to approach Bi Xiao Long Dream Tower’s courtesan Tao Xiangrong by first befriending her maid, Liang Xiaoshi. Cultivating a good relationship with Liang Xiaoshi, then using her to convey messages and probe Tao Xiangrong’s intentions.

During halftime. Xu Shaoqian invited Tao Xiangrong to tour the Marquis shop, introducing its environment and indirectly displaying the Central Lang General’s rank and power. Tao Xiangrong replied feeling slightly cold last night, seeking rest for a while before admiring Xu Shaoqian’s prowess.

Xu Shaoqian’s invitation fell through. Waiting for Tao Xiangrong to sleep, he invited Liang Xiaoshi to accompany him, attempting to inquire about Xiangrong’s current situation and intentions. Xu Shaoqian received this reply with a confident smile, constantly raising his head and chest, high-spirited. Yet calmly, his demeanor showed, as the dragon among men, not losing composure due to mere praise.

Liang Xiaoshi said, "General Xu, don’t say I didn’t give you a tip. My sister is not easily swayed; to win her favor, merely a polo match is far from enough."

Xu Shaoqian confidently replied, "Such a beauty is truly worth pursuing wholeheartedly. I naturally know she cannot be so easily won over. But I am assured that her body and soul will belong solely to me!"
