Chapter 478: Shui Bing'er Heads to Star Luo

"Senior Sister Bing'er, I am going to the Star Luo Empire. If you have time, would you like to come with me?" Nan Feihuang approached Shui Bing'er.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone else was out, he prepared to go find Yang Wudi to recruit this Spirit Douluo expert, whose strength was closest to that of a Title Douluo.

He was also very interested in Yang Wudi's alchemy abilities, which were far superior to those of their palace Spirit Masters.

Feihuang did not mind teaching him a portion of the alchemy contained within the Dunjia Heavenly Book. With him there, Feihuang could focus on his own cultivation and entrust the work of training the younger generation to him.

There was no helping it; the physicians in the palace simply could not learn the contents of the Dunjia Heavenly Book. Even just the alchemy portion required a high level of cultivation combined with a deep foundation in alchemy.

Feihuang had also spent ten years learning the basics, and only with his current cultivation could he refine medicine on his own. However, he could not pour all his energy into this aspect; for him, the most critical thing at the moment was his own cultivation.

There was also Shui Bing'er's cultivation progress. Regarding the second trial of the Peerless God General, he was not worried about Dian Wei, Nan Feiling, or Xun Yu.

Dian Wei had already met the standard. Although Nan Feiling and Xun Yu were slightly behind by a level or two, they were only eighteen years old; in two years, they would have plenty of time to reach the sixtieth and seventieth levels.

During this time, Lingqi was still familiarizing herself with that Vast Sea Power. If she could skillfully control this power, it would be extremely helpful for her future Sea God Trial.

Only Shui Bing'er had to seize every bit of remaining cultivation time, so Feihuang had been taking her with him wherever he went recently. Only in this way could he assist her cultivation at any time with the Experience Boosting Array soul skill.

After absorbing two soul bones, her level had already reached the peak of the fifty-eighth level. With the assistance of the Dunjia Heavenly Book, breaking through the remaining few levels would certainly not be a problem.

"Since it is a request from Junior Brother, I am naturally willing," Shui Bing'er smiled. This was her first time going out to handle matters with Feihuang, and she would not miss an opportunity to increase their bond. Besides, she had never been to Star Luo; she could just treat it as a trip.

It was just that when Shui Yue'er returned, she would probably be angry.

To go to Star Luo to have fun with Nan Feihuang and not bring her along, even sneaking away while she was off hunting for a soul ring—it was simply too much.

After packing simply, Feihuang gave instructions to his father, mother, Lingqi, and the others, then left with Shui Bing'er.

Watching the two figures from behind, Shui Youlan said to Lan Xue, "Junior Sister, you must give me an explanation. What exactly does your son intend to do with my daughter? Yue'er is one thing; she is purely infatuated. But my Bing'er has promised to follow your son for a lifetime. Is she only destined to be a deputy general for her whole life?"

"No, that's not right. After becoming a god, one's lifespan is endless; it should be for all eternity."

Lan Xue smiled bitterly, "Senior Sister, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. My son only had Bing'er become his deputy general; he did not deprive her of her freedom. Bing'er can still look for her true love in the future. Of course, if the two of them click later on, I wouldn't mind having another daughter-in-law. After all, I am very fond of Bing'er myself."

"You, you are always so laissez-faire when it comes to emotions," Shui Youlan sighed. Lan Xue was very passive in her own relationships, so why was she the same when it came to her son?

She knew her daughter very well; Bing'er was naturally very indifferent toward romance and found it difficult to like anyone.

Yet she was always following Nan Feihuang. With this template, even if Bing'er met other men in the future, she would subconsciously compare them to Nan Feihuang.

In this way, counting on Bing'er to go find someone else to date was likely difficult; she might even end up lonely for a lifetime. However, Lan Xue was right—children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. If the two didn't click, her forcing them together would be meaningless. Currently, the two seemed to have a very normal senior sister-junior brother relationship; as for the future, it would depend on their own destiny.

Feihuang and Shui Bing'er were both Spirit Masters. Even Shui Bing'er's level was already close to the Soul Emperor level, and both of them could fly, so their travel speed was quite fast.

Moreover, although this girl Shui Bing'er was also from an aristocratic background, she did not have a shred of being spoiled; on the contrary, she was very capable of enduring hardship and did not complain at all about sleeping in the open.

It was no wonder that a few years later, her level could surpass Huo Wu and the others, being the youngest yet closest to Feng Xiaotian.

Late at night, the two rested for a while. Feihuang roasted a wild rabbit, saved the rabbit legs for Shui Bing'er, and kept the extra-spicy rabbit head for himself.

He ate while reading a cultivation technique.

Shui Bing'er frowned and said, "Junior Brother, don't study while eating. These days, I've noticed you don't seem to be cultivating your soul power much. Every day, after you just open the Experience Boosting Array to assist my cultivation, you spend your time researching this soul skill. Forgive your senior sister for being blunt, but this is not right."

"Junior Brother, your talent is so outstanding, and you are only eighteen—this is the golden age for cultivation. Why waste time here? Isn't Feng Xiaotian a living negative example? Listen to your senior sister's advice: break through to Title Douluo first, and it won't be too late to study this then."

Feihuang was stunned; this was the first time Shui Bing'er had lectured him like this.

Feihuang heard in her tone the senior sister's frustration that her junior brother wouldn't live up to expectations, as well as her regret over him wasting his talent. He smiled and said, "Senior Sister Bing'er, you've misunderstood me this time. It is precisely to break through to Title Douluo as quickly as possible that I am learning this technique. Look."

Feihuang handed the technique in his hand to Shui Bing'er to read. Shui Bing'er curiously took it and first looked at the name of the soul skill.

"Purifying Soul Crossing? This seems to be a technique aimed at the soul. It can purify the souls of the dead and guide them to the underworld? Wait, no, Junior Brother, this technique isn't of much use on the living; it's aimed at the dead. Why are you learning this?" Shui Bing'er asked in confusion.

Even if Feihuang wanted to learn soul-attack methods, there was no need to learn this kind specifically for the dead. This technique was for guiding the souls of the dead; learning this was too strange.

Feihuang smiled slightly and explained, "Senior Sister, don't be surprised when you hear this: I am doing this for two soul bones that are comparable to million-year ones!"

Regarding his deputy general, Feihuang had nothing to hide.

His true goal was the Ice and Fire Dragon King Bone beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; he was going to obtain these two soul bones.

However, during the time he previously lived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, especially after he consumed the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb and sank beneath the spring water to refine the medicinal power, he could clearly feel that the spirits of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had not completely dissipated.

Their strength while alive was even greater than that of a Level One God. Even if only their souls remained now and they were already extremely weak, Feihuang did not dare to be careless.

If they held malice toward Feihuang, then rashly venturing deep into the lake bottom would be dangerous. That was why Feihuang had to learn this targeted technique to ensure nothing went wrong.
