Chapter 83: Luo Ying's Little Thoughts, Imparting the Technique

As time passed, the assessment ended today.

Yan Xiao harvested a total of 126,000 points of Fear Value.

More than half of it was generated by parents worrying about their children's safety.

Pity the hearts of parents everywhere.

Regrettably, apart from Nangong Erhu, the aptitude of the other children was very poor; most had no Spirit Root, and the rest were all Pseudo Spirit Root.

"Sect Master, they are all of Pseudo Spirit Root aptitude; are we really going to take them all as registered disciples?"

Liu Yu thought he had misheard and asked Yan Xiao again.

"Accept them; I will find a way regarding their Spirit Root aptitude."

Yan Xiao nodded; as long as they have a Spirit Root, they can cultivate. Wasn't he also a Pseudo Spirit Root at the beginning? So what of it?

After eliminating 70 people and taking in 40 registered disciples, plus the personal disciple Nangong Erhu, the total number of people on Luoxia Mountain reached 221.

"One seven is seven, two sevens are fourteen, March 8th Women's Day..."

Yan Xiao used his fingers to calculate what the total upper limit of the Absolute Kill was, but it seemed a bit difficult.

"Idiot."

The system said with disdain.

"I'm an idiot? Fine... I admit I can't calculate it, then why don't you tell me, what is the current upper limit for the number of people for the Absolute Kill?"

Yan Xiao asked.

"57 people," the system replied.

Is that so?

Yan Xiao scratched his head, a bit confused.

But after seeing the 210,000 Fear Value in the background, he forgot his troubles and was very happy.

He sent a message to Luosang, asking him to go down the mountain in person to lead the team and escort the newly recruited disciples back to the mountain.

And he, of course, chose to go into seclusion.

In the room.

He held the Xisui Pill purchased for 100,000 Fear Value, full of anticipation; as long as he took this Spirit Pill, his Spirit Root aptitude would be greatly improved.

He swallowed the Xisui Pill in one gulp and circulated his True Essence to begin refining the medicinal power.

The result...

The Spirit Pill melted the moment it entered his mouth; there was no need to refine it at all.

"Ding, congratulations to the Owner for the improvement of Spirit Root aptitude. Current Spirit Root grade: Xuan-tier Intermediate."

It leveled up just like that?

That's fake!

Yan Xiao couldn't quite believe it.

"This is a celestial pill, understand?" the system said with contempt.

Fine, whatever the reason, as long as the upgrade was successful, it was fine.

There were still 110,000 Fear Value left; should he get another Xisui Pill?

With his Spirit Root grade improved, he felt his body become much lighter, floating as if he were about to drift away with the wind, straight up to the nine heavens.

"Could it be that I am about to ascend to immortality?"

Yan Xiao chuckled foolishly.

"If you don't refine the Pill Poison in your body, you're going to die," the system reminded him.

Having such a foolish Owner, the system felt very desperate.

"What?"

Pill Poison!

Yan Xiao bristled instantly; no wonder he felt weak all over and light as a fairy—it turned out to be the side effect of the Spirit Pill.

He hurriedly circulated the Quenching Fire Technique to begin refining the Pill Poison.

By the time he had refined all the Pill Poison, it was already noon the next day.

Pushing open the door, the sun was bright, and he felt his body was in great shape.

"If the heart faces the sun, there is a meter of sunshine."

Yan Xiao spread his hands, and a water mirror appeared before him. Looking at the peerlessly handsome face inside, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the thousands of Fairies.

It was truly a great pity in life that they did not know him.

"Young Master."

Luo Ying and Xiao Cui walked over slowly, carrying a change of clothes and toiletries.

"What is this for?"

Yan Xiao asked in confusion.

He was already handsome enough; there was no need to dress up deliberately.

"Qianyue Fairy is here to see you; don't you want to wash up?" Luo Ying smiled and said playfully.

"Qianyue Fairy? Why is she here?" Yan Xiao asked in confusion.

Hadn't Qianyue returned to Fengxue Silver City?

She didn't even say goodbye to him when she left; she really wasn't much of a friend.

"Last night, Qianyue brought the City Lord back, and she came to see you early this morning. She seems to be in a hurry; I suspect it has something to do with Feng Xianzi, Feng Wanqing."

Luo Ying explained while helping him tidy his clothes.

"Oh, is the City Lord alright?"

Yan Xiao took the towel from Xiao Cui's hand, wiped himself off casually, and hurried toward the main hall.

"He is quite heavily injured, but his life is not in danger," Luo Ying replied.

"That's good. I'll go see him another day."

Hearing that Chang Yongsheng was not in any life-threatening danger, Yan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

In the main hall, Qianyue saw Yan Xiao and immediately walked up to greet him.

She looked truly anxious.

"Young Master Yan Xiao, please come with me."

Qianyue grabbed Yan Xiao and started walking out, looking frantic and impatient.

"Uh... Qianyue Fairy, can you please explain what is going on first? I am..."

Yan Xiao was completely bewildered.

"We'll talk on the way; there's no time left."

Qianyue pulled Yan Xiao along and flew off on her sword; Luo Ying wanted to follow, but Yan Xiao shook his head to stop her.

"Why won't you let me go!"

Luo Ying pouted and said with dissatisfaction.

"Heh."

Xiao Cui covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Sister Xiao Cui, what are you laughing at?" Luo Ying asked with a blushing face.

"Are you jealous?"

Xiao Cui and Luo Ying were very close, like best friends who told each other everything.

"A little. I was the first to say I was his fiancée, but someone still beat me to it."

Luo Ying said, puffing out her cheeks.

"The Young Master is a dragon among men; there will surely be many girls who like him. If you like him, then you should be more proactive."

Xiao Cui teased.

"I have already been very proactive." Luo Ying felt a bit annoyed and cursed Yan Xiao under her breath as a blockhead, a fool, and a big idiot.

"The Young Master seems like a playboy, but he is actually very devoted. He only has Miss Qingxue in his heart; even Madam Feng Jingting only managed to occupy a place in his heart later on."

Xiao Cui said leisurely.

"So you mean I have no chance?" Luo Ying asked, feeling dejected.

"How could that be? Let me tell you..."

The two women whispered to each other in a mysterious manner.

"Achoo!"

High in the air, Yan Xiao couldn't help but sneeze several times.

Rubbing his nose, he looked at Qianyue Fairy in front of him and asked seriously, "Are you saying your Senior Sister has fallen into a demonic state, and the City Lord wants me to go over and help?"

"Yes, the City Lord said you are the reincarnation of an ancient Immortal Emperor and will surely be able to stop Senior Sister from continuing to demonize."

Qianyue nodded and looked Yan Xiao over carefully, her eyes filled with doubt; she didn't really believe Yan Xiao had a way to cure Feng Wanqing.

Yan Xiao scratched his head; if the big shots of Fengxue Silver City couldn't do it, could he?

It was clearly absurd.

But holding onto the mentality of giving it a try, he followed Qianyue all the way into the deep mountains.

Among the mountains, there was a clear little lake with pleasant scenery.

But at this moment, the surface of the lake had frozen into ice, the area around the lake was covered in white snow, and all the surrounding trees had withered and died.

On the ice, a woman with white clothes and white hair sat quietly.

Her expression was pained, as if she were struggling to suppress something.

Suddenly.

She opened her eyes, which were a deep blue, like ice crystals, chilling one to the soul.

Yan Xiao landed on the ice.

Seeing the tall woman before him, he felt a shock in his heart.

He hadn't expected the once cold and beautiful Feng Wanqing to have become like this.

That skin turned white as ice and that face pale as frost made one's heart ache just looking at her.

"Is there a way?"

Qianyue asked nervously.

When she first saw her Senior Sister in this state, she had also been startled, followed by heartache.

In the past, even if Feng Wanqing was cold and aloof, she at least had warmth.

Now, her icy chill could freeze the entire lake.

"System, is there a way for this?" Yan Xiao sought help from the system; he also wanted to help Feng Wanqing.

"One thought to become an immortal, one thought to become a demon. Feng Wanqing originally possessed the Ice Spirit Physique; after suffering a blow, she went into a cultivation deviation and has now fallen into an Ice Demon. You can only use love to influence her."

The system changed its voice to that of an old man and said profoundly.

"Use love to influence her?"

Yan Xiao scratched his head; in this deep wilderness, where was he supposed to find a man for Feng Wanqing?

Besides, in her current state, anyone who got within three meters of her would turn into an ice sculpture; he couldn't even get close, so how could he love her?

"If there is no way, then leave quickly, don't worry about me!"

Feng Wanqing said with her back to Yan Xiao.

A simple sentence, yet it poured out the misery in her heart.

Her world was ice-cold; what did it matter if she became an Ice Demon?

Perhaps she should go to the Demon Domain and fight a Demon Clan powerhouse to mutual destruction; perishing together was her best ending.

"No... there is a way!"

Yan Xiao held a Rose and slowly walked toward Feng Wanqing.
