Chapter 1106: Found a Treasure
"I have received your blessings, please head back early."
Xia Liu said with a faint smile.
"We will be going back, but not now. We said we would protect you, and we won't let anyone disturb you, even if people from the Xuantian Sect come, they will not get through."
Liu Mingyue solemnly said.
"Miss Liu, I appreciate your kindness, but you must leave quickly."
"No, you're just delaying your own time like this."
"Miss Liu, what are you trying to do? Xuantian Sect will send powerful people over, your presence here will only cause trouble for me."
Xia Liu frowned deeply, already regretting not coming up with a horror story to scare her away.
"Even if the Xuantian Sect Master Ye Tiande comes, he wouldn't dare to touch me."
Liu Mingyue declared confidently.
"I understand now, you're from one of the five Immortal Sects?"
Xia Liu had a silent revelation.
"Yes, my father is the Great Elder of the Qingyun Sect, and my uncle Lu Mu is the Sect Master of Qingyun. Ye Tiande wouldn't dare to touch me and Lu Fang. If he does, it won't be long before the other four Immortal Sects obliterate the Xuantian Sect together."
Liu Mingyue said somewhat proudly.
Perhaps only such a background could catch Xia Liu's attention.
"Hmm, I've inadvertently connected with the daughter of Qingyun Sect's Great Elder and the son of the Sect Master. My luck is off the charts!"
Xia Liu laughed heartily.
As early as when he saw Liu Mingyue had a storage container, he felt she was extraordinary.
It's unimaginable how deep the backgrounds he and Lu Fang have.
Probably even more formidable than Ye Chen.
"Brother Liu, apologies for previously keeping things from you."
"Brother Lu, please don't say that. Honestly, I was the one who kept things from you."
Xia Liu shook his head with a wry smile.
"Indeed, you've been hiding your cultivation at the start and fabricated stories to fool us."
Liu Mingyue bit her lip slightly, during the beginning, Xia Liu was really detestable.
However, after spending more time together, she found Xia Liu to be quite decent, at least among the monsters and talents she had met, he was the best.
He understands courtesy and takes care of others.
Overall, he's very perfect.
She couldn't find any flaws at the moment.
The initial deceit might have been due to mistrust.
Otherwise, with his eighth layer of Qi cultivation, why worry about her?
"Haha..."
Xia Liu could only chuckle warmly, unable to say anything else, considering he had fooled them.
"You should hurry, once you're done with your cultivation, I'll find a way to get you through the Xuantian Sect matter."
Liu Mingyue wasn't very confident, but she was determined to help Xia Liu.
Once she sent the Jade Pure Lotus Seed back to the Qingyun Sect, her father would likely support Xia Liu too.
She guessed that Ye Chen's demise at Xia Liu's hands wasn't entirely Xia Liu's fault.
From their interactions, it was clear Xia Liu wasn't a merciless demon leader.
As for the reasons, Liu Mingyue wouldn't inquire for now.
Time was pressing; letting Xia Liu absorb the Yin Sha Energy of this space was the priority.
"Okay, but promise that no matter who from the Xuantian Sect comes, you won't stop them. This matter has nothing to do with you, and once I'm done cultivating, you must leave immediately."
"I agree."
"I agree too."
Liu Mingyue and Lu Fang responded with nods, one after the other.
"Good, it's settled then!"
Without further words, Xia Liu utilized his movement technique and headed straight for the Yin Pool.
At the center of the several meters wide Yin Pool, Xia Liu sat cross-legged on the water's surface.
Under the gaze of Liu Mingyue and Lu Fang.
Xia Liu executed the Five Elements Mantra strongly for the first time.
With the weaving of hand signs.
The Yin Sha Energy in the vicinity immediately responded.
Xia Liu didn't operate the Five Elements Mantra to its full extent.
Instead, he absorbed the Yin Sha Energy bit by bit.
Once he confirmed the Five Elements Mantra could fully purify the Yin Sha Energy, he immediately pushed it to its utmost.
In an instant, Xia Liu's body became like a black hole, emitting an unending suction from every pore.
The Yin Sha Energy in the pool felt such a strong absorption pull.
Whirlpools began to form, with the Yin Sha Energy rushing out through them.
Ultimately impacting Xia Liu's body.
"What rank is this cultivation technique! It possesses such terrifying suction power!"
Lu Fang was stunned by the scene before him.
If the surroundings were filled with nature's spiritual energy, Xia Liu would probably absorb even faster.
On this point, Liu Mingyue was noncommittal.
If this Yin Sha Energy were pure natural spiritual energy, Xia Liu might shock the world.
His inhalation speed was simply too rapid.
Not only was the Yin Sha Energy in the pool churning and converging rapidly.
The Yin Sha Energy drifting in the surrounding air also flowed in quickly.
The final destination was all centered on that figure in the pool!
"I've read similar records in the classics."
Suddenly, Liu Mingyue remembered the material she had seen.
Although there wasn't much, if confirmed, it would shake the entire Huaxia Realm.
"Mingyue, what do you want to say?"
Lu Fang inquired.
"Do you remember Uncle Lu talking about cultivator spirit veins? It's said that only those with Earth Spirit Vein level and above have such terrifying cultivation speeds."
"Earth Spirit Vein level and above!"
Hearing this, Lu Fang was already trembling with shock.
If it were the Cultivator Era, the appearance of an Earth Spirit Vein would incite sects worldwide to compete for it, as such a rare cultivation talent, given time, would wield immeasurable power in the future.
Today, ordinary spirit-veined cultivators are very few, mostly degraded or imitation veins.
The emergence of a cultivator with an Earth Spirit Vein or above is simply unimaginable.
If given some time, in the future, they would certainly stand atop the world.
"It might be true, Brother Liu absorbs energy too fast, even a normal spirit-veined cultivator can't match him."
Lu Fang swallowed several gulps.
Meeting Xia Liu is unparalleled fortune.
Possibly, my background may currently be richer than his.
But give it some years, and by virtue alone, he might exceed my current background by a hundredfold or even a thousandfold.
"No wonder he claimed his cultivation once reached the fifteenth layer of Qi cultivation, he possesses the highest of cultivation spirit veins."
Liu Mingyue couldn't help but sigh.
"Sister Mingyue, I feel like we've found a treasure this time."
"Indeed, we have found a treasure."
Liu Mingyue shared the sentiment, cultivators with Earth Spirit Vein level talents and above were rare even in the Cultivator Era.
Encountering one in today's Technological Era, how could it not be considered a treasure?
The two communicated through Divine Sense, thus not embarrassing themselves in front of Xia Liu.
As for what they discussed in the following time, Xia Liu had no way of knowing.
He remained wholly immersed in cultivation, not paying much attention to external matters.
Who knows how much time passed, suddenly, the night wind picked up, and two powerful auras approached with pressure.
A thunderous voice echoed in the surroundings: "Who is the Heavenly Mansion Chief, Xia Liu?"
