Chapter 427 A great harvest!

“?”

The Cloud-Misty Saint's actions made Leng Wuyan's mind fill with a question mark.

Although the Cloud-Misty Saint knelt and bowed with downcast eyes, Leng Wuyan still caught a fleeting glimpse of anticipation in her eyes.

It seemed she truly expected Li Xuanfeng to punish her.

Does this person have some masochistic tendencies?

A hint of vigilance flashed in Leng Wuyan's perpetually expressionless eyes.

A certain intuition told Leng Wuyan that the Cloud-Misty Saint was very interested in Li Xuanfeng, not in the treasures and secret arts on him, but in him as a person!

An unprecedented sense of dissatisfaction and displeasure quietly spread in Leng Wuyan's heart. Her lotus steps moved lightly, crossing space, seemingly unconsciously approaching Li Xuanfeng and standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

Her cold eyes, like a deep pool, silently stared at the Cloud-Misty Saint from a long distance.

“Are they really Dao Companions?”

Noticing Leng Wuyan's gaze, the Cloud-Misty Saint mused inwardly.

She saw dissatisfaction and warning in Leng Wuyan's eyes, a look she was very familiar with, typically appearing when a woman feared her man would be seduced by other women.

Leng Wuyan really wanted to say that if punishment was needed, she could take over, but the words remained unspoken in her heart.

Li Xuanfeng did not notice Leng Wuyan's subtle changes, because at this moment, he was observing the Cloud-Misty Saint with a somewhat strange expression.

This person was dressed in colorful robes, with a beautiful face and an ethereal temperament. Anyone who saw her for the first time would mistake her for a Fairy draped in colorful clouds.

However, her way of speaking and tone made it impossible to associate her with the word Fairy, nor did she possess the lofty power and mystery of a Saint. Her request for Li Xuanfeng to punish her was not a joke, but a genuine and eager desire.

Li Xuanfeng felt that she most likely had masochistic tendencies in a certain aspect.

In the words of the world before his Transmigration, the Cloud-Misty Saint was very likely a 'masochist'.

“This old man has a secret art that has been treasured for many years, which can increase the efficiency of refining Heaven And Earth Treasures. I now present it to Fellow Daoist as an apology.”

Seeing Li Xuanfeng's strange and peculiar expression, and that he remained silent for a long time, the Star-Mist Saint panicked. He quickly and wisely took out a Jade Slip containing a large amount of information and presented it to Li Xuanfeng.

The Jade Slip crossed space and floated in front of Li Xuanfeng.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Li Xuanfeng gained a general understanding of the secret art recorded in the Jade Slip.

This secret art was named the “Free Spirit Seizing Secret Art,” an extremely rare and unique secret art specifically used for refining various Heaven And Earth Treasures. It could be used in conjunction with any other secret art, increasing the efficiency of those other secret arts in an enhanced form.

For example, if Li Xuanfeng wanted to refine Innate Spiritual Fire, he could simultaneously cast the “Burning Flame Art” and the “Free Spirit Seizing Secret Art.” The “Free Spirit Seizing Secret Art” would then enhance the “Burning Flame Art's” efficiency in refining the Innate Spiritual Fire, shortening the refining time.

Moreover, it had a particularly abnormal aspect: when used alone, it could automatically help refine Heaven And Earth Treasures, without the need for dedicated seclusion.

During its self-refinement, whether one was comprehending, meditating, sleeping, or even fighting, it would not be greatly affected.

The only drawback was that it was incomplete; both its ability to enhance other secret arts' efficiency and its automatic refining intensity were rather mediocre.

“This secret art is rumored to have been created by an ancient Great Emperor. It was a great Opportunity for this old man to obtain the incomplete version, and what I have given to Fellow Daoist is all that I know, without any concealment.”

The Star-Mist Saint quickly explained when he saw Li Xuanfeng look at him after understanding the contents of the secret art.

The incomplete “Free Spirit Seizing Secret Art” indeed had a rather mediocre effect, but its convenience was undeniable.

For example, when Li Xuanfeng wanted to refine the Star River Condensation, he would not need to enter dedicated seclusion for wholehearted refinement. He would only need to reconstruct a set of spiritual power Meridians within his body according to a specific route, cast the “Free Spirit Seizing Secret Art” once, and it would then automatically circulate, refining the Star River Condensation bit by bit.

During this period, Li Xuanfeng would not need to manage it at all. He could do his own things: comprehend the Dao of Cultivation, travel the world, sleep, Dual Cultivation… In short, he would not need to focus his attention on the refinement, and this secret art would be able to help him refine it on its own.

The efficiency of automatic refinement was very slow, and the process was very long, perhaps hundreds or thousands of years. But this process did not require his own effort; it was equivalent to “托管” (being managed by a third party). He could completely use this time to do other things, improving himself in other aspects. Therefore, it was still a very valuable secret art.

Li Xuanfeng nodded, acknowledging it.

Only then did the Star-Mist Saint breathe a sigh of relief.

“This slave also has a secret art to present to Young Master as an apology.”

Seeing that the Star-Mist Saint had already offered a treasure in exchange for his life, the Cloud-Misty Saint could only follow suit.

The Cloud-Misty Saint felt that if Li Xuanfeng was interested in her, she might only need to offer her body; if not, she would have to produce treasures of sufficient value.

A Jade Slip crossed space and floated in front of Li Xuanfeng.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Li Xuanfeng learned the contents of the Jade Slip.

This was a secret art specifically for Cultivating the Soul, named the “Dream Soul Art,” similar to the “Soul Forging Art,” but the methods of Cultivation were different.

Li Xuanfeng's Soul Forging Art required tempering with Heaven And Earth Treasures containing powerful energy, such as Innate Spiritual Fire.

The Cultivation method of the “Dream Soul Art” was to enter dreams, simulate life in grand dreams, and temper the Soul by experiencing different lives in the dream realm.

“Since Fellow Daoist has accepted the secret art, and there are important matters to attend to within the Sect, this old man shall take his leave first.”

The Star-Mist Saint cupped his fist to Li Xuanfeng in farewell, then traversed space and fled into the distance. He was afraid that if he stayed for another second, Li Xuanfeng might change his mind.

“This slave shall also take her leave first. Cloud-Misty Sect always welcomes Young Master to visit, oh~”

Before bidding farewell and leaving, the Cloud-Misty Saint did not forget to invite Li Xuanfeng.

If not for Leng Wuyan's cold eyes, like a deep pool, silently staring at her, she would have said some more provocative words.

Leng Wuyan's Qi was unstable, clearly indicating she was injured, but even so, she displayed the strength of a Middle Stage Saint, and was considered among the top tier of Middle Stage Saints. How powerful she was at her peak was naturally not difficult to guess.

Therefore, even though the Cloud-Misty Saint greatly desired Li Xuanfeng's body, she did not dare to be too presumptuous. The golden power released by his powerful physique made her unforgettable, and she longed to have a taste, but it was basically impossible at present. She could only see if there would be an Opportunity in the future.

“Let's go.”

After the Star-Mist Saint and the Cloud-Misty Saint left, Li Xuanfeng also departed with Leng Wuyan.

This time, the gains for Li Xuanfeng were quite substantial, and after being returned by the System, they would be even more considerable.

On the closest life planet to the Buried Star Land.

In a luxurious private room of a restaurant, Li Xuanfeng formed a formation with a single thought, simply isolating it from the outside world, and released Anya from the Tongtian Pagoda.

The little one knew that both of them were fine and seemed very happy.

“The harvest this time is quite abundant. As the saying goes, ‘what is seen is shared,’ so I will now distribute it.”

Li Xuanfeng took out all the gains from this time.

This action made the expressionless Leng Wuyan愣 (freeze) for a moment.
