Chapter 242 The idea of creating my own cultivation method.
Hearing Zhang Tiedan's words, Zhang Xuanchen felt even more pain in his heart.
If I hadn't left that day, perhaps...
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.
Zhang Xuanchen didn't know what to say, so he gently patted Zhang Tiedan's back with both hands to help him catch his breath and comfort him.
None of the three spoke; they stood quietly under the tree.
A gentle breeze blew by, stirring up a flurry of fallen leaves.
The surroundings were quiet, except for Zhang Tiedan's intermittent sobs.
At the age of seven, he carried the burden of a blood feud and survived alone in the wild for five years. Only he knows how much suffering he endured; outsiders could never understand.
When Xiao Yan, then eighteen, went out to train, he was accompanied by the peerless expert, Elder Dan. Zhang Tiedan, however, was even younger and went alone...
As the setting sun slowly descended, Zhang Tiedan, perhaps having released all the grievances in his heart, or perhaps having found someone to rely on and confirmed his safety, actually fell asleep leaning against Zhang Xuanchen's chest.
His breathing was even, with only his body occasionally twitching involuntarily.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen gently picked her up and whispered, "Sleep peacefully."
"From now on, with me here, you won't suffer any more injustices."
Then he looked at Zhang Chongxian and said, "Ancestor, thank you for your hard work."
The latter waved his hand and said, "We're family, why are we talking about this?"
Moreover, I really like this little guy. After returning from the Meteorite Wasteland, I'm determined to give him some proper guidance.
With dual spiritual roots of thunder and fire, your talent is in no way inferior to yours.
Thanks to the Qi Refining Technique you left behind, I still managed to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining within five years, despite the lack of resources.
A few days ago, after killing the murderer at the Ziyun Sect, his inner demons were eliminated, and he directly advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining.
"You have a really good eye, kid."
"By the way, don't forget to find him a suitable lightning-attribute cultivation technique. A low-level technique like the Qi Refining Technique is not good enough for him."
It's clear that the old patriarch really likes Zhang Tiedan.
This is a good thing. The ancestor has cultivated for over three hundred years and has extremely rich cultivation experience, especially in the understanding of swordsmanship. Being able to receive his guidance is definitely a good thing for Zhang Tiedan.
Zhang Xuanchen laughed and said, "How could I possibly mistreat my own disciple?"
You should go and rest, old man. You can't escape the Meteorite Wasteland either.
It's okay to go a few days later.
"I'll have some good news for you after I've settled Tiedan in."
"Can't we say it now?"
"No, if you told them, would you still obediently rest in the family?"
After saying that, Zhang Xuanchen carried Zhang Tiedan and flew towards Xuantian Villa.
The good news he mentioned was naturally about Zhang Xuance, who possessed a special physique; however, it wasn't all good news.
We still need to trouble Zhang Chongxian to find some things.
Watching Zhang Xuanchen's departing figure, Zhang Chongxian's lips curled up slightly.
He naturally knew that Zhang Xuanchen was concerned about him.
It's just that it's not expressed directly.
"This kid... sigh, he's a blessing to the Zhang family."
I need to work hard too.
To the best of my ability, I will protect the younger generation and help them grow up safely.
……
In the Xuan Tian Courtyard, Luo Ling Shuang was cooking with Xiao Lian and Xuan Jing in the kitchen.
Although Foundation Establishment cultivators have already abstained from grains, it is still necessary to satisfy their appetites.
Especially for those who love food.
Moreover, apart from her state of mind, Luo Lingshuang is now at the peak of everything else, so she doesn't need to spend too much time on cultivation.
So every day at the appointed time, she would cook with Xiaolian and the others.
Although they were said to be working together, only Luo Lingshuang, Xiaolian, and Xiaotao were truly busy.
As for Xuanjing and the Great Sage, they didn't move; they just stood aside and watched, not because they were lazy.
Rather, it's because it's unnecessary, and it might even lead to good intentions turning into bad outcomes.
Just then, Luo Lingshuang frowned slightly.
He looked at Xiaolian and said, "Xiaolian, you stay here and keep watch for now."
"Don't let Xuanjing and the Great Sage make a move."
"Okay." Xiaolian nodded gently, naturally sensing Zhang Xuanchen's presence.
And his mood seemed a bit off.
Outside the courtyard.
Upon arriving at Xuantian Courtyard, Zhang Xuanchen looked at Luo Lingshuang, who was standing at the gate, looking at him with concern.
The sadness was somewhat lessened.
Quickly adjusting her emotions, she smiled and said:
"You're back, Ling Shuang."
These days, Luo Lingshuang often goes out with Zhang Xuanli, but no one knows what they're doing.
When asked, Zhang Xuanli wouldn't say anything.
She simply gave him a mysterious smile and said, "It's a secret."
After that, although Zhang Xuanchen was curious, he didn't ask any more questions.
It's normal for girls to have some little secrets.
"Yes, I'm back." Luo Lingshuang nodded with a smile.
Then he turned his gaze to Zhang Tiedan: "Is he the apprentice you mentioned?"
"What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen sighed.
In order not to disturb Zhang Tiedan's rest, a wisp of spiritual energy was cast upon him to isolate the sound.
He then spoke: "Indeed, some unexpected things happened."
He then described the information he had received from Zhang Chongxian.
As he finished speaking, Zhang Xuanchen's voice choked up again.
Li Lan and Zhang Qingqing took good care of him for four or five days, and even spent all of their family's savings to cure him. How could he forget this kindness?
But now...
After hearing Zhang Xuanchen's description, Luo Lingshuang's eyes also became a little moist.
She arrived in the unfamiliar South China Sea Immortal Continent at the age of fifteen. During the first three years, she had Xiao Lian's company, but she still felt lonely and isolated.
The boy before us, burdened with a deep-seated blood feud, had survived alone for five years in the cruel world of cultivation since he was seven years old.
I admire him from the bottom of my heart, and at the same time feel extremely sorry for him.
He wanted to go to the Purple Cloud Sect and wreak havoc, but it was too late.
The grudges have been settled. If she were to attack the Ziyun Sect without cause, she would only be adding to her own karma.
"Ling Shuang, I won't be eating tonight."
"Let the Great Sage help me solve this."
Zhang Xuanchen was going to select a superior cultivation technique for Zhang Tiedan to maximize the potential of his lightning spiritual root.
Once he has resolved all the trivial matters at hand, he will go into seclusion to cultivate, improve his alchemy skills, and create a cultivation technique that best suits him.
He had long had ideas about creating a cultivation technique; it was not simple, but it was not difficult either.
He wouldn't be so presumptuous as to create something entirely original; he simply didn't have the time. Instead, he planned to draw upon a large number of wind-attribute, fire-attribute, and dual-attribute techniques for modification and improvement.
With the help of the Mystic Mirror, it's not difficult to create a cultivation technique that suits oneself. It's impossible to achieve it all at once; one can continuously improve it as one's cultivation level increases.
Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Luo Lingshuang did not insist and nodded in reply:
"good.
Xuan Chen, don't be too sad or blame yourself. No one could have predicted what happened back then. It's not your fault.
The only thing we can do is to continue to care for Tiedan in the years to come.
"I understand, don't worry." With a smile, Zhang Xuanchen carried Zhang Tiedan toward the room.
Luo Lingshuang's eyes flickered slightly.
It seems I need two gifts to prepare for becoming Zhang Tiedan's master's wife in the future.
