School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 979: Chapter 2063: Searching for Shi’er’s Soul

The old man shook his hand and said, ”Research, my ass. I have other matters to discuss with you. Besides, in martial arts, only by comprehending it yourself can you unleash your full potential. No matter how much I teach you, I can’t make you achieve complete unity of body and mind.”

A master can only lead you to the door; cultivation depends on the individual. There’s truth in this saying.

The things you understand by yourself are far more impressive than what others teach you, and you can wield them more skillfully.

Seeing that Chen Nan seemed to have an enlightenment, Xuan Tianji said, ”Moves are fixed, but people are living. No matter what move it is, as long as you continually comprehend it, discarding the dross and selecting the essence, one day you can achieve greatness. Remember, moves are created by humans. What you need to do is control the moves, not be shackled by these rigid moves.”

Chen Nan nodded.

He understood Xuan Tianji’s meaning, but he had not yet gained further insight into the Chaotic First Form.

Glancing at Chen Nan, Xuan Tianji said, ”I have already deduced the location of that little fox’s soul, but I can’t summon her back.”

Shi’er can be saved!

Chen Nan grabbed Xuan Tianji’s hand and urgently asked, ”Then how can she be summoned back?”

”It’s impossible to summon her back, unless you can find her parents or the person she loved in life. Otherwise, no one can bring her soul back,” Xuan Tianji said.

Shi’er’s parents probably died over five hundred years ago, where to find them now?

Chen Nan pondered for a moment and said, ”I’ll go find them. How should I look for them?”

”Did that little fox like you in her life?” Xuan Tianji asked.

Chen Nan nodded without speaking.

Originally, it was because he refused Shi’er, which led her to run away from home, causing this tragedy.

”Damn, you attract women more than I do.” Xuan Tianji grumbled unhappily and said, ”The little fox’s soul is in the Western Ghost Realm. Go there and bring her back.”

Chen Nan frowned and asked, ”What is the Western Ghost Realm?”

Xuan Tianji said, ”There are four major ghost realms in this Heaven and Earth: one in each of the east, south, west, and north. The Western Ghost Realm is located on the Western European Continent. You’ll know the exact location by checking the map.”

Saying that, he handed a map to Chen Nan.

Chen Nan had never heard of the Four Great Ghost Realms before, it was his first time hearing about these places today.

”What exactly should I do?” Chen Nan asked.

Xuan Tianji took out a golden bow, three arrows, and a black gourd, handed them to Chen Nan, and said, ”This Heavenly Attraction Bow is a treasure; inside is sealed with my power. It can be used with these three Sky-splitting Divine Arrows to shoot down experts of the Heavenly Passage Realm. As for this gourd, it’s for storing souls. Once you find the little fox, you can store her soul in it for easy transport.”

Chen Nan stored the gourd in his storage ring, looked at the bow and arrows in his hand, and asked, ”You say this can shoot down Heavenly Passage Experts, are you kidding?”

The old man widened his eyes: ”Damn it, I’m speaking so seriously, do I look like I’m joking?”

Spat all over by him, Chen Nan wiped his face and said, ”Only three arrows? Can’t you be more generous and give me a few more? After all, I’m your disciple. If I die in the Ghost Realm, who will take care of your funeral after you die of old age?”

”What do you know? There are only nine Sky-splitting Divine Arrows in the world. I managed to get one with great difficulty, you should be content!” said the old man grumpily.

Chen Nan was somewhat speechless, ”Are you tricking ghosts? If you only got one in total, then how can you take out three and give them to me now?”

The old man immediately gave a few dry coughs—

”Well, to be honest with you, these three are actually replicas I made. The real Sky-splitting Divine Arrows possess boundless power; how could I let you waste them?”

Chen Nan felt as if a flock of crows flew by in the sky, leaving behind a trail of black dots.

What a rip-off!

Chen Nan was too tired to complain, ”Old man, could you be any more stingy? If you don’t give me the real Divine Arrows, fine, but you only give me three replicas as well, can’t you be a bit more generous?”

”Kid, don’t be ungrateful. These three Divine Arrows were made just last night by me overnight. There’s no more,” Xuan Tianji said.

Chen Nan asked again, ”Do you have any other treasures?”

He knew very well that if even the old man was so cautious, giving him the Heavenly Attraction Bow and replica Sky-splitting Arrows for self-defense, it indicated that the Western Ghost Realm must be extremely perilous, so it would be beneficial to ask for another treasure.

”My fist is the best weapon. What other treasures are there?” The old man glanced at the Heavenly Attraction Bow and said, ”If really necessary, you can use tree branches as arrows. Although the power is not as great as the replica Sky-splitting Arrows, with the combination of your own cultivation, it would have quite a strong impact too.”

Chen Nan nodded and looked at the Black Feathered Chicken and said, ”Dead chicken, you might as well stay home and guard the place for me.”

”What’s there to guard at home, Chicken Master would rather go and join the fun with you.” Black Feathered Chicken said.

Before Chen Nan could speak, Xuan Tianji shook his head and said, ”No, souls are different from living people. Souls only recognize their closest and dearest ones. If there are people present, the soul will not come close. Of course, that doesn’t apply to those old ghosts who have practiced for a long time.”

”So, I can only go alone?” Chen Nan asked.

Xuan Tianji nodded and then shook his head, saying, ”Among men, only you can go because men have a yang constitution. The yang energy in their bodies would frighten souls. But women are an exception; women have a yin constitution and won’t cause fear to souls.”

”Then it’s better I go alone then.”

Among the women Chen Nan knew, only three had high cultivation.

One is his junior sister, Ye Yiyi; another is Su Qingqing, who inherited the Saintess; the other is Qing Ying of the Dragon Soul, whom he had once cooperated with, a woman clad in Seven-Colored Radiant Light, strikingly similar to Ou Yifei.

Thinking of the mysterious Qing Ying, Chen Nan quickly asked, ”By the way, old man, is the Qing Ying of your Dragon Soul actually Ou Yifei?”

”After finding the little fox’s soul, come to Tianlun Mountain to find me.”

The old man didn’t answer his question, gave him an instruction, then transformed into a white light, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the night in an instant.

Chen Nan had long gotten used to the old man’s come-and-go personality.

After instructing the Black Feathered Chicken to help protect the beauties at home, Chen Nan unfolded his Life and Death Reincarnation Speed and flew west.

But!

About two hundred li later, a flash of red light appeared ahead, and a figure emerged in the void.

Chen Nan frowned, realizing it was the woman in red who took Li Xiao away!
