Chapter 51: Becoming Handsome, Congratulations Husband!

Yan Xiao passed through the wall and entered the first level of the Spirit Cave. Spirit Qi rushed toward his face; even for someone with his trash Spirit Root, the Spirit Qi was actively drawing near.

The Spirit Qi frantically burrowed into his body. He received unprecedented enthusiasm, and this cultivation speed was almost catching up to the effect of him taking a Gathering Spirit Pill.

He liked it here!

He did not sit down to cultivate immediately but continued walking forward. Luosang said that this Spirit Cave had a total of seven levels, and the further down one went, the denser the Spirit Qi became. Especially on the seventh level, where the five attributes of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth gathered, the Five Elements became one.

If one could cultivate inside for a day, the cultivation speed would be comparable to—two days outside!

But apart from the creator of the Seven Spirit Cave, absolutely no one could reach the seventh level.

Among the current sect leaders of the Seven Spirits, no one could persist for ten minutes on the fifth level.

The entrance to the second level was at the center of the first level, and it was quite a distance away. The space of the first level was also the largest of the seven levels, with secret passages extending in all directions; it was a true underground labyrinth.

"System, remember the path I took. I'm afraid I won't be able to find my way back later."

"Understood, Owner. Please enjoy yourself without worry; the System will safely send you home."

A sweet voice came through, so pleasant that his ears felt like they were about to get pregnant.

"System, I like this voice. How nice it would be if you talked to me like this from now on," Yan Xiao praised.

"If you could sing, that would be even better."

This voice was simply too sweet; it was the voice that every otaku's goddess was most expected to have, you know?

"Then I shall sing a song for Owner. It's super sweet," the System replied. With this tone and this timbre, Yan Xiao was already intoxicated before the singing even began.

"Gently leaning against your ear, I love you, there are never too many sweet words to say to you..."

The System actually sang a love song that had been popular in his past life, with a super sweet tone—it was simply too pleasant to listen to.

To be able to hear such beautiful music in another world was truly moving.

"System, sing 'Learn to Meow' next."

Since the road was still long, he asked the System to sing 'Learn to Meow'; it was his favorite song to listen to in his past life.

"Learn to meow? Do you want to hear me learn to bark instead?"

The System's tone suddenly changed. Had it transformed into a middle-aged woman from the Northeast?

"Listening to songs costs money. Do you still want to listen if I learn to bark for 100 Fear Value?"

"Auntie, I'll listen next time."

Yan Xiao almost fell over; this reversal was too extreme.

"Alrighty then, come find me next time you want to listen to songs," the auntie said with a laugh.

Yan Xiao indicated he didn't want to talk; his good mood from listening to the song just now had been completely ruined.

This System must have done it on purpose.

Picking up his pace, he soon arrived at the entrance to the second level. This entrance was exactly the same as when he had first entered—pitch black and without stone stairs.

He took a step out, gathered his Qi in his dantian, descended slowly, landed on the stone slab of the second level, and looked around curiously.

The space of the second level was still not small. Unlike the secret passages of the first level, this place was supported by stone pillars of various sizes, making it look relatively spacious.

Upon entering here, Yan Xiao felt a chill wash over him. The air was filled with water mist and was very damp.

"The Water Origin Qi here is so dense."

He stretched out his hand, and a crystal-clear water droplet from the air landed on his palm. With a shift of his mind, the water droplet turned back into mist and dissipated.

The Origin Qi in the water had already been absorbed by him.

"You've come."

Yan Xiao was immersed in cultivation when he was suddenly interrupted by a cold, clear voice.

He turned to look and saw a graceful beauty sitting on the stone stairs not far away.

"So it is Miss Wanqing. Are you cultivating here too?"

Yan Xiao laughed, walked over to Feng Wanqing, and cupped his hands in greeting.

"I come here to cultivate every day."

Feng Wanqing nodded, which counted as greeting Yan Xiao, and then she closed her eyes again, entering a state of cultivation.

Yan Xiao felt quite awkward on the side. He had originally wanted to ask about Yueru Fairy, but the tall woman clearly did not want to talk much.

Yan Xiao knew her personality, so he stopped talking.

Arriving at the third level, a wave of dry heat hit him. Here, magma rolled, and balls of flame emerged from the air from time to time—it was a very fantastical feeling.

Stepping into it, Yan Xiao clearly felt a sense of pressure. The concentration of Spirit Qi here had increased again, becoming so dense that it created pressure.

If he did not circulate the Five Elements Divine Art to harmonize the Spirit Qi, with his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, it would be difficult for him to move an inch here.

"Let's cultivate here first."

Yan Xiao found a relatively comfortable spot to sit down and circulated the Quenching Fire Technique and the Five Elements Divine Art. The surrounding Fire Origin Qi seemed to see an old friend it hadn't met in a long time, rushing toward him in droves.

"Brother, the Fire Origin Qi in your body has already exceeded the limit, which is not conducive to the cultivation of the Five Elements Divine Art. I suggest you pause the absorption."

The System transformed into a scholar in white again, reminding him in a gentle and refined manner.

This System had a new trick every moment and was full of freshness every day, but Yan Xiao didn't want to pay it any mind.

Yan Xiao stopped the Quenching Fire Technique, took out a few Gathering Spirit Pills, and began to circulate the Three Elements Spirit Gathering Art.

Foundation Establishment 2nd Layer, Foundation Establishment 3rd Layer, Foundation Establishment 4th Layer.

By the time the Spirit Pill was refined, his level had risen three ranks in a row. Using the Spirit Pill and the Three Elements Spirit Gathering Art here had increased his cultivation speed by more than three times.

It was quite effective.

Yan Xiao felt as if this Spirit Cave had been opened specifically for him; both its attributes and its Spirit Qi were extremely compatible with him.

If his Spirit Root were a little better, his cultivation speed could be even faster.

Calculating the time, it was almost dawn. Yan Xiao stood up, preparing to return to Luoxia Mountain.

He flew directly on his sword, returning along the original path.

Passing by the place where Feng Wanqing cultivated, he did not see her figure; she must have left.

Returning to the first level, Yan Xiao was dumbfounded; all the secret passages were exactly the same, and he truly did not know which one was the path back.

"System... lead the way." Yan Xiao could only seek help from the system.

Just then, Yan Xiao heard footsteps coming from afar, along with the voices of several people talking.

He had encountered people.

Yan Xiao was still quite curious and wanted to see what they had come to do.

With an Earth Escape, Yan Xiao quietly followed behind the group.

There were five of them in total, all at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and judging by their attire, they appeared to be Elite Disciples of some sect.

"Senior Brother, we have already sealed the entrance to Luoxia Mountain, why go to the extra trouble of coming here to ambush Yan Xiao?"

"Exactly, I heard Yan Xiao only has the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but he has a close relationship with the City Lord; if we hurt him, will we be retaliated against by the City Lord?"

"No... that's not right, Yan Xiao defeated Yueru Fairy and Hongyi; his cultivation is not high, but that Golden Armored God is truly formidable. We might not be his match. If we are determined to hurt him, we can only catch him off guard and finish him off before he can react."

The group spoke one after another, all discussing how to stop Yan Xiao.

Yan Xiao rubbed his hands together; so the stone gate had been sealed by these little brats, no wonder he couldn't push it open after trying for so long.

"Since you want to do me harm, then this handsome guy won't be polite."

He revealed a playful smile, preparing to mess with them a bit.

His Fear Value was still 5,000 short of 30,000, and these 5,000 Fear Value points would have to be provided by these few people.

They neared the entrance to the second level.

The group took out tools and weapons, preparing to ambush Yan Xiao here.

Seeing them take out ghost-face masks, Yan Xiao frowned; what were they doing?

"Senior Brother, I'm still a bit scared."

The youngest junior brother looked at his strangely dressed senior brothers and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling very afraid.

"Dressing up as ghosts to scare me?"

Yan Xiao was completely bewildered, watching their performance with a look of pity for the mentally challenged.
