Li Qingxuan stared fixedly at Shen Bingning, and in his mind, all sorts of indescribable images had already begun playing on their own.
The Pavilion Master of Myriad Treasures Pavilion looked cold and noble on the surface. Who would have thought she played this wildly in private?
Not even a single hair left?
And even using lemon juice…
Wait a moment.
What kind of new trick was this?
He had never seen anything like it before transmigrating!
“Senior?”
Shen Bingning felt uncomfortable under his gaze and subconsciously covered her chest.
“Cough, cough…” Li Qingxuan coughed twice, forcing himself to act normal as he said casually, “So… the chicken you mentioned is…”
Shen Bingning suddenly took out an exquisite food box from her storage pouch. The moment she lifted the lid, golden light burst out, and the spiritual energy even condensed into visible streams of light that flowed through the air.
“This is… a Spirit Feather Golden Phoenix Chicken?”
Li Qingxuan’s eyes nearly popped out.
Inside the box lay a spirit beast, its entire body golden. The chicken skin shone with an amber-like luster, and the lemon juice drizzled over it had condensed into crystal-clear droplets of spiritual energy.
Most astonishing of all, not a single stray feather remained on the whole chicken, as if it had been processed by the most meticulous technique.
“This chicken must be roasted like refining an Immortal Pill for three days and three nights. During that time, it must be marinated repeatedly with nine kinds of spiritual herbs.” Shen Bingning’s fingertips trembled slightly as she spoke. “Finally, it’s enhanced with hundred-year spiritual lemons… One bite can equal half a month of hard cultivation. Finishing the whole chicken may even allow a breakthrough to a minor realm.”
Li Qingxuan swallowed hard.
This appearance…
This aroma…
Shen Bingning really knew how to cook chicken!
“I originally planned to use it to break through to the 10th stage Profound Core Realm…” Shen Bingning bit her red lips and pushed the food box toward Li Qingxuan. “Now… I’m giving it to you, Senior.”
Li Qingxuan grabbed the food box, then suddenly seemed to recall something and looked up. “Wait, you said eating this chicken could allow a breakthrough to a minor realm?”
“That’s right. Even for the Golden Core Realm, it has some effect…”
Before she could finish speaking, Li Qingxuan had already stored the food box into his storage pouch.
“Senior, aren’t you going to taste it?” Shen Bingning looked at the now-empty table in astonishment.
This person was far too real.
Li Qingxuan tilted his head up at a forty-five-degree angle toward the sky, paused for a moment, then spoke with deep emotion, “Something this good should naturally be saved for my disappointing son…”
“That child has been without a mother since he was young. As his father, how could I enjoy it alone?”
Hearing this, Shen Bingning was filled with admiration. “Senior truly has a father’s love as deep as a mountain!”
“Not at all, not at all.” Li Qingxuan waved his hand modestly.
What a joke.
If his son ate this chicken, the Child-Raising Success System would return at least ten times the cultivation level.
By then, not to mention the 4th stage Golden Core Realm, he might even directly reach the 5th stage Golden Core Realm!
This was called maximizing return on investment!
“Senior…” Shen Bingning was deeply moved. “Then the matter with the Blood Fiend Sect…”
“Leave it to me!” Li Qingxuan tossed her a communication talisman. “If the Blood Fiend Sect dares to come looking for trouble, notify me immediately.”
“Thank you, Senior…” Shen Bingning took the talisman. Just as she was about to bow, her body suddenly weakened, and she fell forward.
Li Qingxuan instinctively reached out and caught her. Instantly, a soft and fragrant body filled his arms.
Shen Bingning’s delicate body pressed tightly against him, and the faint fragrance from her hair drifted into his nose.
“Well now…” Li Qingxuan could not help but take a deep breath. “Why do you smell even better than the chicken?”
“Senior! Wh-what are you saying?” Shen Bingning’s pale face instantly turned bright red. She struggled free from his arms and quickly took out a jade bottle from her waist, stuffing it into Li Qingxuan’s hand. “This is the Creation Pill I promised you…”
Li Qingxuan took the pill and casually tossed it in his hand. “Alright, I’ll be going then.”
As he turned to leave, Li Qingxuan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the attendant who had mocked him earlier standing there dumbfounded like an idiot. Smiling slightly, he walked over. “Hey, do you still think the Profound Core Realm counts as top-tier strength now?”
The attendant trembled and forced a smile. “No, no! What is the Profound Core Realm? In front of you, it’s not even worth garbage!”
Damn it.
He had misjudged completely.
Who would have thought this carefree-looking guy was actually a Golden Core Realm Expert?
“Oh?” Li Qingxuan stretched out his tone meaningfully. “Your Pavilion Master… she’s also at the Profound Core Realm, right?”
The attendant’s expression froze instantly.
He slowly turned his head to look behind him, only to see Shen Bingning squinting at him with an unfriendly expression.
“Pavilion Master, spare me!” The attendant dropped to his knees with a thud. “That’s not what I meant…”
Li Qingxuan hummed a tune and walked out happily, while behind him came the attendant’s miserable wails…
The attendant was on the verge of madness.
A dignified Golden Core Realm Expert holding a grudge was bad enough, but he even set a trap for a nobody like him?
Was that really necessary?
Meanwhile, in a forest about 1,500 meters away.
“Sect Master, are we just letting this go?” the Vice Sect Master said unwillingly. “That Profound Jade Pill Scripture is…”
“Shut up!” Xue Dao cut him off sharply. “That man is a Golden Core Realm Expert. With just the three of us, going back would be nothing but suicide!”
“Th-then what should we do?”
“Hmph!” A vicious glint flashed in Xue Dao’s eyes. “We return to the sect first and let the ancestor decide!”
…
Li Qingxuan hummed a tune as he walked home in a cheerful mood.
This time, he had truly struck it rich.
Not only did he get a Creation Pill for free, but he also obtained a spirit chicken that could boost cultivation.
As Li Qingxuan was enjoying his thoughts, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Detected that the host’s son has achieved minor success in cultivating the High-Grade Profound Tier Martial Skill “Vajra Demon-Subduing Fist.” The host’s “Vajra Demon-Subduing Fist” has automatically reached perfection.]
As the voice faded, a vast and profound understanding of fist techniques surged into his mind.
Li Qingxuan felt his entire body tremble slightly as the spiritual energy within him began circulating on its own, faintly forming a layer of pale golden energy around him.
“What the hell?” Li Qingxuan stopped in his tracks, his face full of shock. “Vajra Demon-Subduing Fist? A High-Grade Profound Tier Martial Skill? When did that brat learn this?”
He thought carefully and realized he had never taught his son any fist techniques.
“Could it be… the old man in the ring?”
Li Qingxuan’s eyes lit up as the thought seemed increasingly likely. “Damn, that brat is cheating. Doesn’t that mean I can freeload cultivation methods from now on?”
As soon as Li Qingxuan stepped into the Li Family courtyard, he saw Li Chuan bent over, vigorously wiping the ground, working extremely hard.
“Father! You’re back!” Li Chuan jumped up excitedly, the rag in his hand flying far away. “I’ve already cleaned the courtyard!”
Looking at the Foundation Establishment Pill rewarded by the system, Li Chuan felt delighted.
Sure enough, doing more work earned rewards. Improving strength was simply too easy.
“Not bad, quite clean.” Li Qingxuan nodded in satisfaction. “Perfect timing. Your father brought back some things.”
As he spoke, he dumped everything from the storage pouch onto the table. Spirit stones, medicinal pills, spirit chicken… instantly piled up and covered the entire stone table.
“Th-this… where did all this come from?” Li Chuan’s eyes nearly popped out. “Father, you didn’t go rob someone, did you?”
“You brat!” Li Qingxuan slapped the back of Li Chuan’s head. “Do I look like that kind of person? I bought all of this for you!”
Li Chuan pointed at the pile of spirit stones on the table. “Father, you bought these spirit stones too? I remember you only had 200 low-grade spirit stones. Don’t tell me you used 200 to buy 2,000?”
“Father, did you run into an idiot?”
“???”
