Chapter 187: The Young Master is Really Naughty
Having said that, Wu Hen also attempted to do it once.
Clearly, the Holy Decision displayed by Cai Ni was vastly inferior to the Earth Crust Sword Peak of the Purple Robed Master – after all, their levels of Cultivation were not on the same scale.
But the principle was the same, one needed to extend the Holy Breath in their body deep into the ground like roots, resonating with the Earth's rocky body to a certain extent. Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire
With their current level of Cultivation, the Holy Breath mostly manifested in a gaseous form. Wu Hen's primary mode of attack was close combat, only able to wrap his body with Holy Breath, using his physical body as a weapon to unleash his power…
But Wu Hen had seen the techniques of Qing Meng and Gu Yue. They clearly had a higher mastery over Holy Breath, capable of various transformations. This was where Wu Hen fell short for not having learned any skills.
If he could master the Totem Holy Decisions, his own combat power could also rise by an entire realm.
"Rise!"
Wu Hen also tried shouting out loud like Cai Ni, but aside from the upheaval of the soil, all that emerged were some rock spikes resembling bamboo shoots.
Speed, strength, and robustness were nowhere near the level of Cai Ni's three-story Sword Stakes, let alone the towering Earth Crust Sword Peak of the Purple Robed Master!
Chief Li had also said that the Purple Robed Master was practically invincible before reaching the Hua Chen Realm; his death was truly scripted.
Thinking back now, it indeed felt that way. Even if he was to summon the Ominous Bronze Spear or Black Glazed Glass Sword now, he probably wouldn't be a match for the Purple Robed Master.
Half-step Hua Chen, First-class Heavenly Brilliance, truly terrifying!
"You just aren't proficient enough. With brother's robust Holy Child, you should be able to do even better than your sister," said Cai Ni.
"Thank you, junior sister," Wu Hen said, clasping his fists.
"Why are you still calling me junior sister?"
"Once a rule is set, naturally it must be followed. Although Master treats me like a son now, I, Cai Ting, am aware of the difference in our statuses and wouldn't dare to overstep. Only when the day comes that I truly transform into a Holy Child will I be worthy of being a child of the Cai Family!" Wu Hen said.
"No wonder father said that your temperament has changed drastically. If you could have been this patient in the past, you wouldn't have been sent away by him. In fact, father was just disappointed in you, so don't bear any resentment," Cai Ni said.
"How could I? With both Master and junior sister treating me this way, I am overflowing with gratitude…" Wu Hen immediately expressed his sincerity.
An epiphany, indeed.
This dull-witted fellow finally had a day of realization, no longer speaking in the annoying manner of before. It seemed true that a person could change after experiencing a great life and death situation; despite Cai Ni not having much contact with this fellow, her impression of him had significantly shifted.
"Then let me teach you another move, to turn Holy Energy into fine swords?"
"Do you have one to turn Holy Energy into horses… Without a mount, it always feels like something is missing."
"There is one to turn Holy Breath into wings, but I really don't recommend using it. It consumes too much Holy Breath," Cai Ni said.
Wu Hen had seen Qing Meng perform the skill to turn Holy Breath into fine swords.
Qing Meng disliked close combat, and in order to showcase her elegance and nobility akin to that of a saintess, all her Holy Decisions were turned into Holy Swords thrusting at her enemies, like a little Sword Immortal…
Of course, her technique, compared to a true Sword Immortal, was vastly lacking.
Wu Hen had seen a True Sword Immortal before. Fairy Gong Qin could perform Sword Flight, unleash the Three Thousand Sword Rain, and even summon the Execution Heavenly Sword – these were the absolute pinnacle of offensive capabilities. Compared to Qing Meng and Cai Ni, those were merely dancing with sword flowers.
Oh, how I miss Fairy Gong Qin after not seeing her for so many days.
When can I take her into my fold as a loved maid? The bed has been cold and icy lately; her warm and fragrant immortal breath is soothing, can ward off cold and repel heat, eliminate mosquitos, calm the mind, and dispel evil – truly the best choice for warming the bed!
Moreover, after so many days and nights, Gong Qin had been well-trained and there was no need to worry about her having the stubborn pride like Gao Yu Yan, nor to guard against Liang Xiangyue having ulterior motives...
"Young Master, this servant has some knowledge of Zhenwu and can accompany Young Master in practice," Liang Xiangyue said.
"Sure, can your True Qi transform into rows of little bees? I'll turn Holy Breath into little arrows and shoot them at you," Wu Hen said with a smile.
"Young Master is really naughty," Liang Xiangyue said shyly.
Wu Hen felt a sense of inexplicable confusion. What was wrong with him, practicing the technique of Holy Breath Needle with such precision, only to have this woman make it sound completely unserious!
Cai Ni, who was standing by the side, was also somewhat annoyed by this atmosphere.
She gave Liang Xiangyue a glare and continued to discuss serious matters with Wu Hen, "In the monthly tributes, if there is anything the brother likes, he can take a few items, but correspondingly, he must also fulfill the requests of those who pay the tribute."
"Oh?" Wu Hen's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
He could take what he needed.
But there was work to do!
Even so, it was already quite convenient. At least there was no need to explore the unpredictably dangerous wilderness of Desert Dust. Not to mention the high risk of death, encountering any predators with suppressing Laws could be a lethal threat even to those with high cultivation.
In Infinite Red Port, it was actually about understanding human relationships and etiquettes. Some things could be resolved just by Holy Sect showing its face, and even if they had to exert effort without showing their face, with his current strength, it should not be a problem for him.
Wu Hen also knew that Chief Li sending Yang Qin, Tu Shanlan, and Gao Yu Yan to his side wasn't really just to please his eyes. To a certain extent, it was also to cultivate the elite among humans.
Chief Li knew of Wu Hen's fondness for beauty, so naturally, he prioritized sending these women to his side for gold-plating, to be prepared for future unexpected needs.
"Tu Shanlan, your Mecha needs a Crystal Core to operate. I saw a Fire Melting Crystal on the tribute list earlier, shall I get it for you?" Wu Hen said.
"Is that possible?" Tu Shanlan was somewhat surprised. She looked at Wu Hen, who was trying his best to present himself as a dissolute young master, and actually didn't quite want to trouble him.
"It's nothing," Wu Hen nodded.
At that moment, Yang Qin looked at him with a bit of desire in her eyes, wanting to speak but not daring to do so directly, just gazing at Wu Hen that way.
"You'll get something too. I heard the residual Insect Eyes Mother Tree in your body has given you a mutation ability. I just killed two Silver Winged Mantises and saved some of their Insect Crystals for you," Wu Hen said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qin smiled happily and kept expressing her thanks.
Gao Yu Yan slightly opened her mouth, looking at Wu Hen.
The two gifts Wu Hen offered were both treasures of Heavenly Brilliance Level.
Gao Yu Yan's Evolution Chain Gate was on her fighting clothes, but the development of her fighting clothes had come to a halt. She could only improve her Perception, and she needed something simple - the Longevity Wine. This wine was infused with Yuan You Essence, and drinking it daily could significantly enhance her Perception.
Here, there was no shortage of Longevity Wine in the tributes.
But she didn't qualify to drink it.
"If you want it, you have to earn it on your own merit," Wu Hen said as if he could guess Gao Yu Yan's thoughts, speaking with a smile.
Gao Yu Yan was about to turn her head away, not wanting to see the smug look on Wu Hen's face, but then she thought about Cai Ni standing by her side, who could slap her away at any moment, so she had no choice but to let Wu Hen pinch her chin.
"Hmm, not bad, showing progress. Take a jar of Longevity Wine to brighten up your complexion," Wu Hen said graciously, seeing the shift in Gao Yu Yan's attitude.
Gao Yu Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. Could such a small gesture really win her the Jadescent Nectar she needed??
