Li Yingling's icy face was paired with her heartless words.
Li Xingtian quietly turned his head to look at Li Yingling. If there hadn't been a half-eaten rabbit head on her plate at the moment, perhaps he would have been extremely ashamed.
However...
Nevertheless, Li Xingtian still opened his mouth to explain, "Actually, it's not that I'm ungrateful. It's just that I still have a lot of things to do and can't stay in the sect for a long time."
"Otherwise, I would have agreed to the senior long ago. I also understand that the senior didn't take a fancy to me for anything. Instead, you just wanted to save my life by taking me as an apprentice."
Hearing Li Xingtian's sincere explanation, Chu Xingchen nodded approvingly:
"Ordinary sects do like to bind their disciples."
Halfway through speaking, Chu Xingchen changed the topic and said slowly, "But our Heavenly Dao Alliance is different. As long as you have the sect in your heart, you can go anywhere in the world."
Hearing this, Li Xingtian looked at the delicious rabbit in front of him and picked up his chopsticks without hesitation.
He could also understand the senior's underlying meaning. Well, being an apprentice was fine.
Repaying kindness was also Li Xingtian's principle. Perhaps becoming an apprentice was the real opportunity after his rebirth?
If it was still a lousy sect, he could just find another chance to run away again.
Taking a bite, "Damn!"
As soon as he took a bite, Li Xingtian really felt that this rabbit was the most delicious one he had ever eaten.
Sure enough, the more expensive the rabbit was, the better it tasted. Li Xingtian always had a feeling that he had sold himself just for eating a rabbit.
Li Xingtian smiled and praised, "Master, aside from anything else, your cooking skills are really good."
[Apprentice Recruitment Successful]
[Second Apprentice: Li Xingtian]
[Reward Skill: Hunyuan Magic Bone Body Refining Divine Art]
[Please use it in combination with the Heavenly Demon Dao Body]
[Task One Completed: Reward Spirit Gathering Array]
[All rewards have been placed in the system backpack]
Seeing the settlement page of the system, Chu Xingchen nodded with great satisfaction:
"If you like it, eat more."
Li Xingtian said respectfully, "Yes, Master."
Li Yingling watched Li Xingtian, who had started to be humble, and couldn't help but cough lightly and sit up straight. She encouraged him in a general way:
"As the master's second disciple, you have to work hard."
Seeing Li Yingling's posture, Li Xingtian understood what the senior sister was thinking and quickly cupped his hands and said:
"Alright, I definitely won't let the senior sister down."
A satisfied look appeared on Li Yingling's face.
The new little junior brother was quite sensible. She would take care of him in the future.
After all, he had almost lost his life after just going out for a day. Presumably, he wasn't a very smart junior brother.
She didn't know what the master had taken a fancy to. But on second thought, maybe the sect was really short of people.
However, it was the first time for Li Yingling to be a senior sister, and as the eldest senior sister, she was still quite excited in her heart.
She looked at the master with a leisurely gaze. At this moment, he should be smiling relaxedly, right?
However, the opposite was true. There was a bit of worry on the master's face...
What was going on?
It wasn't just Li Yingling who noticed this scene. Li Xingtian also noticed it.
Li Yingling called out小心翼翼地, "Master?"
Hearing the call, Chu Xingchen closed the system panel in front of him and then looked at Li Yingling:
"What's the matter?"
"Master, are you okay?"
"What could be wrong with me?"
"If there's nothing wrong, you just didn't seem very happy just now..."
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen knew that his expression had been noticed and quickly said:
"Oh... I was just studying your junior brother's cultivation skill just now."
Li Xingtian quickly said upon hearing this, "Master, there's no need. I have my own cultivation skill."
Chu Xingchen didn't say much. He just extracted the Hunyuan Magic Bone Body Refining Divine Art from the system.
A book with a blood-red cover emerged in Chu Xingchen's hand. Chu Xingchen handed this book directly to Li Xingtian and comforted him:
"It's okay. You can first take a look at how this skill is. If you think it's not good, you can practice your own one instead."
Hearing that it wasn't a compulsory requirement, Li Xingtian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and reached out to take the book that faintly emitted a bloody smell.
After handing the book to Li Xingtian, Chu Xingchen silently got up and walked back to his wooden plank and lay down.
The two apprentices gave their master a strange look and then silently looked at each other.
Li Xingtian slightly raised his eyebrows and winked to ask.
[What's wrong with the master?]
Li Yingling also understood this look, but she just showed a smile and then continued to gnaw on the rabbit head.
If I knew what was wrong with the master, I wouldn't have asked why the master's expression was wrong.
This second junior brother... isn't very smart.
Li Xingtian was a bit confused, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head to look at the book with the dark red cover in his hand.
The words on the cover were written with great momentum and also carried a bit of a solemn and murderous aura.
Curiously, he touched the cover and only found that it was very ordinary paper.
Was it a rubbing? But how could a rubbing have such a bloody smell?
However, without thinking too much, Li Xingtian still opened the first page first.
Then Li Xingtian was shocked in his mind. He quickly scanned through it line by line and then opened the second page.
He didn't know until he looked. The more he looked, the more shocked he was.
Li Yingling saw his shocked eyes and then comforted him with an experienced person's posture:
"Junior brother, for cultivation skills, it's normal to have many versions. It's also normal for the handwriting to be a bit blurry. Just practice boldly and without worry."
Li Xingtian silently raised his eyes to look at Li Yingling and then looked back at Chu Xingchen lying on the wooden plank bed.
He couldn't believe it and lowered his voice and said, "Senior sister... Is our Heavenly Dao Alliance an evil cultivator sect?!"
Frowning, Li Yingling refuted, "Evil cultivator? What nonsense are you talking about? We cultivate the right way's mental methods. There's no such thing as an evil cultivator."
Li Xingtian just silently handed the Hunyuan Magic Bone Body Refining Divine Art in his hand to Li Yingling upon hearing this.
Taking the cultivation skill first, Li Yingling curiously opened the first page and looked at it.
The handwriting was clear and the strokes were vigorous. It was written by a master of calligraphy and was also extremely neat.
What could be wrong with this book? Just these two glances made it look much better than her own one, didn't it?
With such doubts, Li Yingling continued to read, and then she also became shocked.
After turning several pages, she directly stuffed the book back to Li Xingtian.
Damn it! Which cultivation skill was so bloody?!
"Senior sister?!"
"Cough, cough. The senior sister is sleepy. I'll go to sleep first. You can find a place to lie down and rest by yourself."
Li Yingling didn't even continue to gnaw on the half-eaten rabbit head. She quickly walked to her bed, pushed aside the wooden board that blocked the view, walked in, and then covered the wooden board again.
Chu Xingchen was also a Golden Core True Person, and naturally heard their conversation: "That book isn't an evil cultivator's skill."
Li Xingtian looked down at the content in the book again - when cultivating in the Foundation Establishment Stage, first kill a thousand blood sacrifices, disassemble their limbs and melt their root bones.
"Master... Isn't your definition of an evil cultivator a bit too low?"
"Blood sacrifices don't necessarily mean humans. We can just find a few monsters in the forest of Shilipo that haven't opened their spiritual intelligence to make up the number."
Li Xingtian heard this and looked at the book in his hand again. If what the master said was correct and this could be substituted,
The power and effect of this skill were actually much stronger than the skill he had cultivated in his previous life.
Moreover, it was very suitable for his Heavenly Demon Dao Body after fusing the Millennium Bone Jade.
Li Xingtian wasn't the type to be indecisive. Anyway, he had to use blood sacrifices to cultivate when he was in the Qi Refining Stage.
After he refined the Millennium Bone Jade, he would try to cultivate this one. In case something was wrong... Well, he just wouldn't cultivate it then.
Li Xingtian's worry disappeared.
But Chu Xingchen's didn't. There was a reason for his worried look just now.
Because the Spirit Gathering Array rewarded by the system was just a blueprint...
It wasn't that after extracting it, he could place it wherever he wanted, without consuming materials or having to do it by himself.
Nor was it the kind that would be built as soon as it was erected.
This Spirit Gathering Array was really just a simple blueprint!
Not only did he have to prepare the spirit stones for materials by himself, but he also had to build it by himself.
The use of the blueprint was that it could only tell you carefully how to build it.
Wasn't this cheating?!
Where did he have the money and spirit stones to build this thing?!
Could it be that the True Martial Hall was also just a blueprint and he had to build it by himself too?
