Chapter 31: The Last Spiritual Basic Technique
Qin Yuyan nodded at Huan Liuli’s little head. Only then did Ye Xiao notice that there was actually a small pond in the Qin family’s courtyard.
There were quite a number of purple-scaled fish in there.
Ye Xiao had seen from the star beast encyclopedia that the purple-scaled fish had wolf-class bloodlines. They grew and reproduced quickly. The adult purple-scaled fish were all lesser grandmaster-level star beasts. They were good at group attacks, and their teeth were sharp and powerful一their strength was enough to easily tear apart the bones of a star beast of the same level.
However, although the purple-scaled fish were ferocious, they also had a special ability, which was to gather spiritual energy.
Moreover, the purple-scaled fish tasted delicious, and eating it would serve as a great tonic.
Therefore, many martial arts families that had medical conditions would raise some purple-scaled fish at home.
Huan Liuli was so hungry that her saliva was dripping. She was restless in Qin Yuyan’s arms.
Qin Yuyan said with a smile,
“You can’t have any. Many of the purple-scaled fish in here are already adults and are lesser grandmaster-level star beasts. If you go over, you won’t be able to eat them. You might even be eaten by them.”
Ye Xiao immediately used his spiritual energy to suppress Huan Liuli.
“Hold it in. Didn’t I give you so many things to eat at the dining table just now?”
Huan Liuli also used her spiritual energy to resist.
“Can the food you gave me be compared to this? Those are purple-scaled fish. The taste is not on the same level, and the nourishment is also not the same.”
“Do you dare to try eating one? You think I won’t immediately skin you and use you for the Dragon and Tiger Battle dish? A grandmaster star beast is more nourishing than a purple-scaled fish, right?”
“...”
Although she was unwilling, she could only give up and return to Qin Yuyan’s embrace.
There was no other way. She had no choice but to lower her head.
Who asked her to be inferior to Ye Xiao?
However, her big, beautiful eyes had already started to plot and no one knew what she was calculating.
Qin Yuyan thought that her persuasion had worked, and she happily stroked Huan Liuli’s small head.
“What a sensible cat. Why don’t I take care of you for a few days?”
Huan Liuli’s eyes lit up, and she immediately rubbed Qin Yuyan’s chest fiercely a few times.
Meow!
“Hehe, Ye Xiao, did you see that? Your cat likes me very much.”
Ye Xiao let out a faint sigh.
‘You think she likes you? She likes your fish.’
The two of them went into the house and headed straight for the study on the third floor.
“Here are some books from my grandfather’s collection. You should be able to find the cultivation technique you need. You can read some books first while I go and change my clothes.”
Ye Xiao nodded and felt as if he had obtained a treasure. He immediately began to study Qin Shenglong’s collection of books.
Needless to say, most of the books that Qin Shenglong hid were ancient books.
Although it was only a small room, which could not be compared to the library, most of them were the evolution of a single system of basic techniques. They were not like the books in the library, which were all plagiarized.
It was to the extent that there were actually seven sword techniques that had evolved from the basic sword techniques found there.
In other words, as long as Ye Xiao was reading in that small room, he would be able to nearly complete the synthesis of the basic sword techniques of the Heaven-cleaving Sword.
Unfortunately, Ye Xiao’s Heaven-cleaving Sword had already been formed, so most of the sword techniques were useless to him.
Even so, Ye Xiao had learned a basic strike technique and a basic body-refining technique that he did not have.
Spiritual energy could strengthen a cultivation technique so the power of a strike technique was no weaker than a sword. Ye Xiao had already gathered seven basic strike techniques, including the one he had learned today, but there were no signs of it being able to synthesize.
It seemed that he still needed a few more.
Ye Xiao had only learned three body-refining techniques, including what he had learned today.
That was a type of cultivation technique that could be used for offense and defense. It was relatively conservative. It used spiritual energy to temper one’s body, refining it to the point where it was invulnerable to swords and spears.
Even so, he had earned quite a lot from that trip.
Two basic cultivation techniques, one strike technique, and one body-refining technique. It was not a waste to come here to read books.
When Ye Xiao put back the body-refining technique, he took out the next one, and his face suddenly lit up with joy.
That was because the divine soul’s Golden Book in his mind jumped for a moment.
That meant that there was a cultivation technique that could be synthesized.
Currently, the only thing that needed to be synthesized in the Golden Book was a spiritual cultivation technique.
Ye Xiao immediately opened the book. As expected, it was a spiritual cultivation technique that could be transmitted from a thousand miles away. It was a cultivation technique that could collect and release spiritual energy to an extremely far distance.
It was roughly the same as adding the concept of long-range shooting and turning a bomb into a missile.
That was a cultivation technique that Ye Xiao did not have in his current spiritual cultivation technique records.
Very quickly, Ye Xiao imprinted that cultivation technique onto the Golden Book.
After obtaining it, he immediately began to cultivate without delay.
Progress bar 1% , 2% ...
He walked very slowly. Ye Xiao estimated that he would only be able to cultivate it to perfection by late at night. When he returned home, he could just synthesize it.
However, at that moment, the door of the small library was suddenly opened by someone. Accompanied by a gust of fragrant wind, Qin Yuyan who was wrapped in a towel, ran over.
The sudden appearance of those milky white shoulders and long legs surprised Ye Xiao.
Before he could react, Qin Yuyan grabbed him and ran outside.
“Come with me quickly.”
The gardenia fragrance flowed from Qin Yuyan and gushed into Ye Xiao’s nostrils. In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiao was pulled to a room on the second floor and stuffed inside.
“Don’t say anything. My grandfather is back. If he finds out that I brought a boy back, he will beat me to death.”
After saying that, she hurriedly closed the door and ran in another direction.
“Yuyan, are you at home?”
“Ah! I’m at home. I need to take a shower and change my clothes.”
After that, there was no sound. Qin Shenglong must have sat down in the living room.
Ye Xiao could not help but shake his head.
The Qin family’s house was quite strict.
She was a fourth-year student of the martial arts academy. Lu Wanwan was already married, but Qin Yuyan did not even dare to bring a boy home.
He glanced at the room and was surprised to find that the room was especially warm.
There was a light yellow bed, a yellow and pink quilt with a cartoon pattern engraved on it.
A computer desk, a wardrobe... The overall style was feminine.
Qin Yuyan’s dress that had just been taken off was hanging on the side of the bed.
‘Could this be... Qin Yuyan’s room?’
As soon as she finished speaking, Huan Liuli fell from the windowsill with a thud. Her originally small stomach was now swollen to the point that it did not look like a cat’s stomach at all. Instead, it looked like she was pregnant for ten months.
Qin Shenglong’s voice came from downstairs again.
“Yuyan, what’s that sound?”
“Oh, it’s... It’s nothing. I dropped the shampoo.”
The voice was calm once again. Ye Xiao glared at Huan Liuli in annoyance and communicated with her telepathically.
“Did you steal the purple-scaled fish?”
