I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 205 - 105: Elder Sister Is Truly Wonderful
Chapter 205: Chapter 105: Elder Sister Is Truly Wonderful
In the quiet of the deep night, within the luxurious inner courtyard.
Li Jizhou and Qi Yuan sat facing each other.
“Fairy Qi, what guidance might you have?” Li Jizhou asked earnestly.
“Hehe, does Master Li want me to call you grandfather a few more times?” Qi Yuan tilted her head slightly, slowly stretching out her long legs to recline on her side,
exactly as they had first met.
“Hahaha, my apologies, my apologies. Fairy Qi is broad-minded and should understand the helpless acts of mine at that time,” Li Jizhou chuckled awkwardly, admitting it out loud.
Qi Yuan held a cup of wine between her orchid fingers, leaning sideways and drinking it all in one gulp.
“Master Li is indeed frank.”
“However, Master actually misunderstands, I came to ask, how should I repay the life-saving grace of Master?”
Previously, Qi Yuan had thought Zhang Ruoyu saved her, given him being a senior of the same sect, she didn’t need to think much.
However, it turned out now that Li Jizhou had saved her.
The two of them had no familial ties, yet the life-saving grace must be repaid.
“There’s no need for that. I always remember Fairy Qi’s assistance back at Spirit Pearl Mountain’s market, and I’m also grateful for Brother Lu’s recognition. It’s just the cycle of causes and effects,” Li Jizhou waved his hand dismissively and smiled indifferently.
Qi Yuan slightly turned her head, squinting as she looked at Li Jizhou’s honest face,
sighing inwardly, recalling Lu Zhenhua’s passing decades ago. He still remembers,
indeed, just as Lu Zhenhua once said, noble in character and grateful.
Moreover, she still couldn’t figure out how that young Qi Cultivation cultivator, with apparently no future, managed to suppress his potential with medicine to establish the Foundation back then on the Spirit Ship, and silently frightened the Three Nether Old Demon away?
Even now directly forming the True Core.
Compared to the current declining disciples of Golden Sun Sect, Li Jizhou is truly extraordinary.
However, she also knew there must have been some fortune involved.
“Master Li, do you have a Dao companion?” Suddenly, Qi Yuan changed the topic.
Li Jizhou, hearing this, immediately recalled the storybooks Qi Yuan read back then and shook his head with a smile: “Li’s talents are insufficient, fortunate to have Celestial Grace, barely keeping up with the fellow Daoists’ pace. This is the time for perseverance; otherwise, it wouldn’t serve Celestial Grace and would be lifelong regret.”
Afterward, he solemnly said, “My pursuit of the Dao is resolute, I dare not tie myself down, nor dare to delay a fair lady.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan paused slightly.
His words and actions made her see him in a new light.
She felt somewhat ashamed.
Despite having such favorable conditions back then, she lacked ambition, not seeking the great path, wasting so many years.
If she had pursued like Li Jizhou, the Golden Core might not have been a mere dream.
Fortunately, the various calamities of Southern Domain’s Golden Corpse awakened her, like a prodigal son returning.
Now her heart was firm in seeking the Dao.
She only sought the great path in this life.
“Master Li, I am as you think, it is a pleasure, to you.” She toasted.
“To mutual encouragement!”
After a few cups of wine,
Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment and then smiled warmly at Li Jizhou: “Master Li, although our hearts are firm in seeking the Dao, the journey is long, ultimately with much loneliness. Forcefully suppressing it is somewhat against the natural order. If it continues, heart demons may grow, hindering the formation of Nascent Soul. I wonder how Master Li dispels loneliness?”
Li Jizhou raised his eyebrow slightly at the words and instinctively glanced at Qi Yuan.
With peach blossom cheeks, alluring and irresistible.
“Hahaha, Li never deliberately suppresses it. When encountering a kindred spirit, not involving cause and effect, not increasing bonds, discussing the Dao sitting together, a fleeting romance is indeed wonderful.”
Qi Yuan didn’t expect Li Jizhou to be so candid, which stirred her heart.
Over the years, whenever heart demons sprouted within her, she often felt tempted,
but the people she met didn’t match her tastes.
Li Jizhou completely fit her ideal.
Previously worried about being tied down, delaying her Dao pursuit, hearing this now, she felt elated.
“Master Li, do you consider this sister a kindred spirit?” Unable to resist any longer, Qi Yuan slowly reached out her hand toward Li Jizhou.
Li Jizhou smiled slightly, having anticipated this outcome since knowing the storybooks Qi Yuan read in Golden Crow Immortal City.
He vividly remembered the story was about siblings depending on each other since childhood, deeply in love, until one day the brother was taken by a powerful sect. The sister rose in indignation, ultimately destroying the sect single-handedly and rescuing her brother, living together in love thereafter.
“Sister is indeed wonderful!” Li Jizhou laughed amiably, pulling Qi Yuan into his arms.
At that moment,
“Sister is indeed…” Yu Ziyu had just landed when she heard these words and paused.
Li Jizhou and Qi Yuan sensed someone in the outer courtyard simultaneously.
Having just moved to this residence today, and busy hosting everyone during the day, there was no time to set up a formation.
The plan to discuss with Qi Yuan was now disrupted.
Li Jizhou reassured Qi Yuan and strolled outside.
“What brings esteemed Daoist Yu here?”
Yu Ziyu looked at Li Jizhou oddly, then smiled slightly, cupping hands: “I just returned, heard in the valley that Master Li left abruptly after forming the core. Originally came to see if there was any mishap, didn’t realize I missed today’s core formation celebration. Congratulations.”
Feeling Li Jizhou’s aura, Yu Ziyu felt relieved.
Recalling the Inverted Mountain incident years ago, Li Jizhou practiced Evergreen Skill to save her, almost severing his path. She always felt indebted, now finally eased.
“Thanks to Daoist Yu for granting me a core formation venue, many thanks.” Li Jizhou humbly returned the courtesy.
“Hehe, Master Li is too polite. It’s late, I won’t disturb further. Here’s a congratulatory gift from Yu family of Qingyin Valley for your core formation.” Yu Ziyu smilingly handed Li Jizhou a storage pouch.
“Thank you!”
“Farewell!”
Seeing Yu Ziyu leave, Li Jizhou checked the storage pouch.
Inside was a hide of a Quasi-Fourth Tier demon beast, apparently a hide from a Tier Three Late Stage peak giant crocodile.
This material could be used to craft a Quasi-Fourth Tier Talisman, valued at nearly a thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
Most importantly, this crocodile demon hide was very fresh, probably peeled within three months, still exuding the terrifying pressure of a Tier Three Peak Great Demon.
“Killing such level demon beasts requires at least a Nascent Soul True Monarch!” Li Jizhou naturally wouldn’t assume Yu Ziyu killed it; it’s definitely the handiwork of Wuxiang Sect behind her.
Such giant crocodile demons likely exist only in Ten Thousand Poison Swamp.
“Yu Ziyu has returned, wonder what’s happening with Southern Domain Golden Corpse? Whether Ye Jingyu can ultimately reveal the Corpse Nourishment mystery?”
“Taobao Pavilion is about to launch widely, there might be room for maneuvering; can it assist somewhat?”
Pondering, Li Jizhou shook his head, deciding not to dwell further.
The fair lady still awaited,
The first time discussing the Dao, she mustn’t be disappointed.
He activated the mansion’s array, ensuring no more interruptions.
Returning to the inner room again, Qi Yuan was already passionate as the sea…
