Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

143: Section 143This was a top-tier poisonous object that had been extinct on the continent for many years. Even the Izumo Empire, as the home base of Poison Masters, had not found it; she didn’t expect to find it here.

For ordinary cultivators, let alone consuming it, just smelling the faint, strange scent it emitted would cause their souls to be devoured in an instant, turning them into walking corpses with a miserable death.

For Xiao Yi Xian, who possessed the Calamity Poison Body, this ”Ten-Thousand Soul Ghost Lingzhi” was the ultimate cultivation supplement she had dreamed of! ”Great! Now I don’t have to worry about falling behind Lord Guan.”

She could no longer suppress the wild joy in her heart and carefully and solemnly placed this priceless poison into her storage ring.

The moment she finished this action, a soft and irresistible spatial force completely wrapped around her body. In the next instant, she was teleported out of this space and returned to the outside of the Library Pavilion.

With Xiao Yi Xian’s successful example, the other Young ladies were invigorated upon seeing this and began to follow suit.

They walked around this vast space, trying to use their sincerity to attract treasures or cultivation methods destined for them. However, strangely enough, no matter how hard they tried to release their auras,

those brilliant light orbs floating on the light screen seemed to be blind, completely ignoring them as time passed bit by bit.

Seeing that, besides Xiao Yi Xian, no one else had gained anything,

just as they were all feeling a bit discouraged and even began to doubt if they really lacked ”fate,”

they suddenly discovered with surprise that the light points that were originally floating quietly on the light screen began to stir one after another!

At first, it was just a few scattered points.

But soon, the commotion spread rapidly like a plague.

Hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand brilliant light orbs seemed to receive some mysterious and supreme summons.

They left their original light screens one after another, turning into colorful and brilliant streams of light, merging into a spectacular and vast river of light.

And that river of light rushed toward only one final direction!

Countless light orbs emitting various powerful auras were like moths to a flame.

They drifted frantically and competitively toward the white-robed youth who was walking calmly and slowly through the Library Pavilion.

They even collided, squeezed, and repelled each other in mid-air just to seize a position closer to him! That frantic, almost ”pilgrimage-like” scene left all the Young ladies dumbfounded, completely frozen in place.

In just a few breaths, Yun Xiancheng was completely and tightly surrounded by countless brilliant light orbs! He stood there quietly, yet he seemed to be the sole center of this vast starry sky, the eternal and absolute,

singularity of this world!

”Alright, girls, don’t just stand there.”

Yun Xiancheng turned his head to look at the group of Young ladies behind him who were already shocked speechless by the spectacular sight, with his usual gentle and doting smile on his face.

”Come over and see if there is anything among these that you need or like.”

Hearing his words, the Young ladies finally recovered slowly from their massive shock. ”I’m actually not surprised by this at all anymore.”

Nalan Yanran looked at the youth surrounded by thousands of lights and couldn’t help but make one final comment.

”It’s as if my husband was born to be like this.” ”Of course.”

Beside her, Xiao Xun’er, holding a fan that covered half of her pretty face, had eyes like black gems shining with infatuation and near-frenzy.

”After all... he is my lover...”

294 Yao Chan’s Possessiveness

”Alright, sisters, don’t just stand there.” It was Xiao Yu, the eldest sister, who reacted first.

She gently patted the shoulders of her dazed sisters and said softly in a voice full of tenderness and gratitude, ”We cannot waste our husband’s kindness.”

”Let’s go over and take a good look, pick carefully.”

Led by Xiao Yu, the Young ladies went forward and began to carefully pick items suitable for them from among the countless light orbs that were as brilliant as stars.

Yun Xiancheng nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the Young ladies’ faces, which were filled with excitement and joy as if they were browsing a market. He himself continued to walk aimlessly and slowly through the ancient Library Pavilion. ”Hmph, just a pile of scrap metal.”

Just then, a crisp young girl’s voice full of disdain and contempt rang out abruptly in his mind. ”It feels... not even as good as the junk I collected back then.”

Yun Xiancheng’s nose tickled slightly. A small, translucent spirit body quietly emerged. It was Yao Chan. She was now sitting naturally on the bridge of Yun Xiancheng’s nose.

She even used her fair, tender, and cute feet to dissatisfiedly and gently rub against Yun Xiancheng’s cheek, commenting in a voice full of disdain.

”Yes, of course.” Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng did not argue but spoke in a flattering tone, following her lead.

”Master, you were the top Alchemist who shook the entire Fighting Qi Continent back then. Your collection is naturally the best and most abundant in the world. How can a mere Jia Nan Academy compare to you?”

”Hmph! That’s more like it!” Hearing this, Yao Chan’s exquisite face immediately showed a very satisfied and proud expression. ”However,” Yun Xiancheng shifted his tone and smiled, ”these things are better than nothing. After all, even if a mosquito is small,”

”it’s still meat.”

”I guess the headmaster of Jia Nan Academy is a genuine Dou Zun. Then the legacy he left... is likely an Earth Rank High Level cultivation method, or even something at the Heaven Rank Low Level stage?”

”Other stones can polish jade; perhaps it can inspire me.” ”You’re dreaming quite beautifully. A Heaven Rank Low Level cultivation method?”

Hearing this, Yao Chan immediately rolled her eyes and stretched out her translucent, jade-carved exquisite little feet to gently rub against Yun Xiancheng’s cheek.

The Loli Master said crossly, ”What do you think Heaven Rank techniques are? Are they cabbages you can just pick up anywhere?”

”I’m telling you, ordinary Heaven Rank techniques are only created by true supreme experts at the Dou Sheng level after exhausting their life’s blood! A mere Dou Zun’s legacy is, at most, an Earth Rank High Level cultivation method!”

”Besides,” she said sourly, ”isn’t the cultivation method you’re practicing already at the Quasi-Heaven Rank level? Why are you still eagerly eyeing their junk?”

”I’m warning you!” Her tone suddenly became extremely serious and domineering.

”Don’t learn the core cultivation method! Absolutely not! Do you hear me? With your monstrous talent, if they saw you, they would definitely cry and beg you to be their disciple!”

”I don’t want you to take another man as your Master!”

”When I have time, I’ll let you see everything I can give you. Though I don’t have a collection now, when we return to the Central Plains... there should still be cultivation methods and Dou Techniques left that haven’t been looted.”

Looking at her pouting and possessive cute appearance, Yun Xiancheng found it both funny and adorable.

He reached out both hands and carefully held the little person who was acting spoiled on his nose in his palms, then said solemnly with a very respectful tone:

”Yes, Master. I will definitely not learn it, please rest assured.” ”Hmph, that’s more like it.”

Hearing this guarantee, Yao Chan nodded with satisfaction. She proudly crossed her arms in Yun Xiancheng’s palm and turned her face away.

In a voice of feigned disdain, she whispered,

”If you look for another beautiful female Master in the future, I’ll turn a blind eye and barely let it pass. But if you dare to find a man to be your Master... I... I’ll beat you to death!”

Yun Xiancheng looked at her cute, duplicitous, and coquettish appearance, and the affection in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

He lowered his head and imprinted a doting, gentle kiss on that exquisite little face, which was slightly flushed with embarrassment. ”Ya!”

Yao Chan was startled by his sudden action!

Her small face instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato with a ”boom,” and even her voice became somewhat stuttering.

”What are you doing! Isn’t it shameful!” ”And... kissing and hugging now...”

As she spoke, her voice became somewhat aggrieved and resentful again, ”You haven’t been intimate with me for a long time... this... disciple is also worried about being caught by Cai Lin...”

”The two of you, rest assured, this Queen has no interest in your childish games!”

At that moment, a cold, majestic, and slightly shy Queen’s voice rang out abruptly from Yun Xiancheng’s chest, ”I definitely won’t peek!”

A miniature snake, covered in seven-colored scales and only as thick as a finger, poked its noble and majestic little head out from Yun Xiancheng’s collar.

Its pair of exotic purple vertical pupils looked at the flirting Master and disciple with disdain, as it explained crossly:

”Also! I will take good care of Xiaoer for you! I absolutely won’t let you two shameless fellows corrupt her!” Just as the three people and one snake were chatting and joking, Yun Xiancheng’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

Deep within that vast light curtain, rows of golden light spheres, radiating brilliant golden light and as dazzling as small suns, were floating there quietly and neatly.

Unlike the other scattered light spheres, these golden spheres were actually completely encased within a larger, brighter, and more majestic giant golden light sphere.

Yun Xiancheng knew that he had found the ultimate goal of this trip.

He reached out and lightly tapped on that giant light sphere.

”—!” The light flared brilliantly!

Immediately after, the illusory figure of a white-haired old man with an immortal-like aura slowly emerged from the giant light sphere. ”Hehe... junior who comes after,”

The old man’s phantom, with a warm smile on his face, spoke slowly in a tone full of gratification and expectation,

”That you were able to activate this recording left by this old man proves that your talent and potential have already received the recognition of the Library Pavilion’s core. You are the first peerless genius in nearly a hundred years to appear in the academy who is qualified to inherit my entire legacy...”

”But I refuse.”

Without waiting for the old man’s phantom to finish his tempting pleasantries, Yun Xiancheng spoke directly with an expressionless face, interrupting him.

”I will not take a Master.”

The old man’s phantom clearly paused for a moment, seemingly thrown off by his blunt refusal.

Then, the recording that should have been incredibly smooth suddenly flickered violently, and the scene flashed, seemingly switching to another backup recording that had been pre-recorded at some unknown time.

In the scene, the mysterious Principal of Jia Nan Academy looked helpless as he seemed to be chatting with a young Su Qian.

”Hahaha, what did you say? Someone actually refused Old Guan’s inheritance? How is that possible? Old Guan’s reputation back then rang through...”

”...the entire Fighting Qi Continent! How could there be such a junior who doesn’t recognize quality?”

”Of course, nothing is absolute. If... I’m saying if, there really is such a blind idiot whose head was caught in a door and actually refused this old man’s inheritance... sigh, then just let him be. Just let him pick any Dou Technique from this old man’s collection as a consolation prize and send him on his way.”

Yun Xiancheng looked at this almost comical scene and couldn’t help but nod.

He didn’t immediately step forward to choose those golden Dou Techniques that looked incredibly powerful. He just stood there, slowly spreading his palm, then closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Waiting for those Dou Techniques to take the initiative to find him. ”—!!”

As if sensing his summon, which carried the aura of a monarch, all the golden light spheres sealed within that giant golden sphere—representing the golden spheres the Principal had painstakingly collected or created over the years—instantly rioted like a disturbed hornet’s nest!

A large number of golden light spheres shot out from the giant golden sphere like a bursting flood! They squeezed, collided, and even fought each other.

They seemed to be frantically competing for that sole, precious opportunity to reach Yun Xiancheng’s hand!

Finally, after an incredibly chaotic ”Battle Royale,” a golden light sphere that showed the most resilience during the fight finally emerged and slowly landed on his hand in the posture of a victor.

Hmm, it looks like it should be a pupil-based Dou Technique that specializes in spiritual attacks.

Its rank is Earth Class Middle Level... it’s alright.

However, some of the concepts within it do have some merit.

After going back, he would spend some time studying and researching it, and then use it as a foundation, combined with his own understanding, to recreate a unique Pupil Technique that was more suitable for himself.

Yun Xiancheng nodded with satisfaction and casually put this manual, which was a pleasant surprise for him, into his storage ring.

Then, he bowed solemnly and respectfully toward the direction where the old man’s phantom had already dissipated. ”Thank you for the technique, Senior. This junior will keep it in mind.”

295: Unforgettable Memories with Teacher Ruo Lin

After collecting their items, the Young ladies each had their gains. For them, they had already graduated from the Outer Academy, and after the Outer Academy files were processed in a while, they could go to the Inner Academy.

Of course, for the Young ladies, none of that was important. What was important was Hu Jia’s love life.

Xun’er stood with her arms crossed, looking at the downcast Hu Jia, and scolded: ”Didn’t we agree that you would take the initiative? Why did you get a nosebleed and almost faint as soon as husband hugged you?”

”I... I didn’t want to...”

Hu Jia looked up aggrievedly, her large, bright eyes now filled with mist, looking quite pitiful.

Her two fair little hands were twisted together in great unease, her brows slightly furrowed, like a little kitten, her whole being radiating a ”weak, pitiful, and helpless” aura.

With a flushed face, she tried to defend her ”embarrassing” performance: ”How could that be the same? Who told Classmate Cheng to... to get so close.”

Speaking of this, the scene of being held in Yun Xiancheng’s arms that day uncontrollably resurfaced in Hu Jia’s mind.

That broad and warm chest, that clearly audible, steady and powerful heartbeat, and that unique body fragrance mixed with various floral scents that almost made her suffocate on the spot...

Her cheeks turned even redder with a ”whoosh,” and she began to speak incoherently, muttering some things like,

”Gentlemanly style,” ”Immortal appearance,” ”The nosebleed came out on its own because it was useless,” ”It’s definitely not because I thought of something strange”... complete nonsense that was impossible to understand.

Nalan Yanran heard this and smiled, ”I told you, by the time she takes the initiative, the daughter Lord Guan and I have will already be grown up. Sigh.”

Seeing Hu Jia’s completely useless and purely cute appearance, Xiao Mei, who was on the side, really couldn’t watch any longer. She leaned into Xiao Xun’er’s ear and suggested in a low voice that only the two of them could hear:

”Sister Xun’er, I think there’s probably no hope in counting on Sister Hu Jia to take the initiative herself. I feel... we might as well be more direct, skip those empty pleasantries, give her a hand, and get straight to the point?”

Hearing this, Xiao Xun’er looked at Hu Jia, who was still hanging her head and twisting herself into a knot like a fried dough twist, and sighed somewhat helplessly.

She paced back and forth for a moment, seemingly weighing her options, but in the end, she made up her mind and nodded heavily. ”Very well!” A resolute light of ”Since you won’t take the initiative, I’ll help you” flashed in her eyes.
