Chapter 466: Ancient Seal |
After spending a few hours experiencing Xiao Hua's experience, Yuan finally opened his eyes and looked around.
"They're not back yet?"
"They came back about an hour ago to tell us that they'll need a few more hours on the second floor, but Brother Yuan was absorbed in his own thing." Xiao Hua said to him.
"Oh, I see. That's fine. I still have a technique to learn, anyway."
"And thanks for showing me your experience, Xiao Hua. I think I understand why I cannot breakthrough."
"Why?" Xiao Hua asked.
"It's most likely due to the lack of spiritual energy in that place," he said.
Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Spiritual energy is incredibly important when one is trying to breakthrough because they'll need a massive amount of spiritual energy, hence why people usually choose a place with the most spiritual energy before they attempt to breakthrough."
"I see… This is going to be pretty tricky…" Yuan sighed.
'I guess I will have to put my breakthrough on hold and practice my Divine Sense for now.' Yuan thought to himself.
"If Brother Yuan cannot find a place with good spiritual energy, he can look for treasures that contain a large amount of spiritual energy instead," Xiao Hua suddenly said.
"A treasure? That's even more tricky…" Yuan said, as he wasn't sure if there were any treasures in the real world that contain spiritual energy.
'If only we can somehow transfer the treasures in this world back to the real world…' Yuan sighed inwardly.
Unfortunately, unlike transferring knowledge from Cultivation Online to the real world, it was simply impossible to transfer physical objects like treasures to the real world no matter how he thought about it.
"Thanks for the advice, Xiao Hua," Yuan said to her before taking out the Ancient-rank martial technique he'd obtained from the Dragon Temple and reading through it.
The instant he opened the scroll, Yuan could see images flowing into his head, and it was like watching a movie play inside his head.
There was a handsome young man with long blonde hair practicing on a mountain peak, and every time he punched his fists out, it would create the image of a dragon that would fly into the distance before creating a hole in whatever it touched.
"What a powerful technique…" Yuan mumbled in a low voice as he continued to watch this talented youth practice the technique 'Relentless Dragon Overwhelms the Nine Heavens'.
Of course, what Yuan was experiencing right now didn't occur to Meixiu when she tried to learn the technique in the carriage. Perhaps it had something to do with their compatibility, but Yuan comprehended the technique at a frightening rate.
While Yuan tried to comprehend the technique, Xiao Hua sat beside him like some kind of guardian, making sure that nobody disturbs him.
However, no matter how powerful Xiao Hua may be, she didn't have the capabilities to protect Yuan from everything, and one of these things being sound.
"AAAAAH!"
A loud voice suddenly resounded in the waiting room, snapping Yuan back to reality.
"It's you again! You're definitely stalking me!"
Yuan frowned when he heard this voice, and he turned to look at the door, where a blonde-haired beauty was standing with a couple of techniques in her grasp.
Yuan sighed inwardly when he saw this beauty.
"What are you doing here? I have been here since this morning." Yuan said to her.
"And I have been here since last night!" she quickly responded.
"Don't you get tired of this? Just go on and continue your trial for the Four Ancient Families," Yuan sighed out loud.
"S-So you knew my identity this entire time?! And you still claim that you're not stalking me? I don't buy it!" The girl said to him with a look of disbelief on her face.
"No… Somebody recognized your uniform and told me… You know what… Forget it… There's no point talking to you." Yuan sighed out loud.
The fierce girl gritted her teeth and said, "Y-You're freaking lucky that we're inside the Myriad of Techniques right now, or I would've already smashed your face in!"
Yuan shrugged and responded in a calm voice, "Did you not learn from last time? Go ahead and punch me if you want to experience that pain again."
The girl suddenly felt a dull pain on her feet when Yuan reminded her about the last incident.
"Hmph! Forget it! You can follow me all you like, but if you dare to try and do anything funny, I will smash your face in!" The fierce girl then took a seat on the other side of the room and proceeded to ignore him.
Yuan also ignored her and continued to study the technique.
However, to Yuan's surprise, Xiao Hua stood up and approached the fierce girl.
The girl turned to look at Xiao Hua with a frown on her face.
"What do you want?"
Xiao Hua stared at her for a good moment before speaking, "You're from the four Ancient Families, right? How much power do you hold within the family?"
"Huh? Why do you care?"
Xiao Hua then said, "Do you have the Ancient Seal?"
The girl's eyes widened with surprise, and she quickly stood up and backed away from Xiao Hua.
"Who are you? Why do you know about the Ancient Seal?"
"..."
Xiao Hua remained silent.
"I asked you a question! Why do you know about the Ancient Seal?!"
The fierce girl then raised her hand before throwing it at Xiao Hua's face.
"Xiao Hua!" Yuan stood up, but before he could even do anything, Xiao Hua waved her sleeves and calmly caught the attack perfectly.
"Y-You…" The girl's eyes widened with shock after feeling an unfathomable strength coming from Xiao Hua.
