Chapter 53 Li Xuanfeng fooled Xu Miaozhen, and she finally wanted it!

Xu Miaozhen didn't know how much time had passed.

It seemed very long, yet also very short.

Li Xuanfeng landed with her in a secluded valley.

"We're here."

Beneath their feet, flowers bloomed in profusion, and ahead, a stream gurgled.

Leaving Li Xuanfeng's embrace, Xu Miaozhen actually felt a sense of reluctance and lingering attachment.

"How could I…"

Realizing her inner thoughts, her heart skipped a beat, and her face flushed slightly.

"The surrounding environment isn't bad. Let's rest here tonight!"

Li Xuanfeng had just swept the area with his Divine Sense, finding no powerful Yao Beasts, only some small animals playing.

The night in the Purple Moon Secret Realm was not suitable for treasure hunting, as a Cultivator's Divine Sense would be suppressed.

Looking up at the sky, a purple moon had appeared at some unknown time.

It seemed to be the influence of this purple moon that caused Cultivators' Divine Sense to be restricted, so it was best to find a quiet place to stay at night.

With a flick of his finger, Spirit Stones flew out, landing in a specific arrangement to form a simple Formation that enveloped the nearby area.

This was the Isolation Formation Li Xuanfeng had learned after Xu Miaozhen's return, though he had greatly expanded its range.

"Alright, now it's time to divide the spoils!"

After completing all this, Li Xuanfeng looked at Xu Miaozhen.

"?"

Xu Miaozhen was full of questions.

Divide the spoils?

What right did she have to divide the spoils?

She had been severely wounded by a Shattered Core Realm Cultivator and almost captured alive.

Although she could have escaped even if Li Xuanfeng hadn't come, that would have required using a precious trump card.

By all accounts, she should be thanking Li Xuanfeng and offering him treasures as a token of her gratitude.

"The enemies were slain by Brother Li, so all the spoils of war should rightfully belong to Brother Li."

"On the contrary, I should offer Brother Li a reward to thank him for saving my life!"

Xu Miaozhen said seriously.

She always repaid kindness.

Previously, when Li Xuanfeng killed Yuan Xiao, it avenged her clan sister, and she offered him a spot to enter the Purple Moon Secret Realm as a reward.

Now, she was considering what reward would be suitable for Li Xuanfeng.

Xu Miaozhen had her own Opportunity, having once inherited a Legacy from a super expert, and possessed quite a few valuable resources.

However, many resources were sealed and could only be progressively unsealed and used as her Cultivation Realm improved.

Furthermore, Li Xuanfeng was a Sword Cultivator, while she was a spear Cultivator. Resources like Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills would not be of much use even if given to Li Xuanfeng.

In Xu Miaozhen's view, only the Jade Slip containing the escape technique seemed appropriate as a reward.

"As the saying goes, 'finders keepers,' but if you hadn't held them off, how could I have arrived to kill them?"

"If they hadn't been killed, there would be no spoils to speak of!"

Li Xuanfeng looked at Xu Miaozhen.

When they parted earlier, he forgot to use the System to check the color of Xu Miaozhen's fate.

Such a Daughter of Destiny, blessed with Luck, would turn misfortune into good fortune. She might encounter dangers and setbacks, but she would never die easily.

The main reason he rushed to save Xu Miaozhen at the critical moment was that he wasn't far from that location at the time.

Moreover, the System's notifications kept ringing, returning to him the experience and insights from Xu Miaozhen's battles and use of secret techniques.

He then realized that Xu Miaozhen was fighting powerful enemies.

A sweep of his Blazing Sun Golden Eyes revealed the battlefield, and he rushed over at the first Opportunity.

That's when the scene of him slaying Elder Ren and U Minghuo occurred.

Xu Miaozhen was stunned.

What Li Xuanfeng said wasn't without reason, but why did it feel like sophistry?

"Brother Li, please don't joke. I'm not qualified to share the spoils!"

Xu Miaozhen stubbornly shook her head.

Li Xuanfeng sighed inwardly. Why was she so stubborn? How good would it be if she were a greedy girl?

"Do you know why I wanted to enter the Purple Moon Secret Realm with you?"

Li Xuanfeng decided to try and trick her again.

"Why?"

Xu Miaozhen asked subconsciously.

"Because I think highly of you. Entering the Secret Realm was just out of boredom, with a playful mindset. My main purpose was to help you!"

Li Xuanfeng said leisurely.

"Think highly of me, help me?"

Xu Miaozhen carefully pondered the meaning of his words.

"When you were able to resist Yuan Xiao of the Core Formation Realm with your Spirit Sea Realm Cultivation, I knew you were an peerless Prodigy!"

"Now, you've withstood an attack from a Shattered Core Realm expert without fundamental injury, proving my earlier assessment was correct. If I'm not mistaken, you should possess a top-tier Physique!"

Li Xuanfeng said.

Xu Miaozhen nodded and directly said, "I am the Great Wilderness Battle Body!"

She knew that Li Xuanfeng also possessed a top-tier Physique, and it was likely many times more powerful than hers.

There was nothing she couldn't say about possessing the Great Wilderness Battle Body.

"I consider my talent to be quite good, and I will surely Cultivate to a very high Realm in the future. However, the Dao of Cultivation is a long and arduous journey. Wouldn't it be too lonely to reach the peak alone?"

"So, I want to befriend some Geniuses and Prodigies, to discuss the Dao with each other, so the path of Cultivation isn't solitary."

"It's better than being alone with the Grand Dao after long years, looking back and seeing no old friends, feeling sorrowful and lonely!"

Li Xuanfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his expression slightly melancholic, as if he had already seen the future where he reached the peak, overlooking the universe, with the loneliness of an invincible expert.

Xu Miaozhen's delicate body trembled.

Reaching the peak!

Alone with the Grand Dao!

What kind of confident demeanor was this!

Or rather, what kind of arrogance was needed to say such words!

Geniuses in the world were as numerous as carp crossing a river.

How many ambitious and confident Cultivators became dejected and despairing after repeatedly failing to Breakthrough to higher Realms?

They felt melancholic facing Realms that were within sight but out of reach, until they perished and turned into dust, never touching a higher Realm.

Yet, Li Xuanfeng believed he could reach the peak, even be alone with the Grand Dao?

Xu Miaozhen didn't deny Li Xuanfeng's Prodigy, but such a statement was too exaggerated.

However, seeing his melancholic appearance as if he had seen the future, and the shocking scene of him displaying Chaotic Sword Intent not long ago…

She thought…

Perhaps what Li Xuanfeng said might one day become reality?

"Therefore, when I see a Prodigy or Prodigy, I want to invest!"

"The spoils I've gained, and the Tranquil Heart Grass I acquired earlier, are dispensable to me. They just take up space in my storage ring!"

"Since keeping them would just let them gather dust, why not take them out and help someone like you, a peerless Prodigy?"

Li Xuanfeng turned to look at Xu Miaozhen.

Xu Miaozhen was dumbfounded by his words.

Thinking about it, it was indeed true.

Would a peerless Prodigy who could comprehend Chaotic Sword Intent have poor Comprehension Ability?

At least Xu Miaozhen felt that even if she healed her injuries and recovered her Comprehension Ability, she probably wouldn't be able to comprehend it!

With Li Xuanfeng's exceptionally high Comprehension Ability, neither the Tranquil Heart Grass nor the god gathering flower would be of much help to him, right?

For these rare items, the Cultivator with lower Comprehension Ability would experience better effects.

Conversely, for Cultivators who already had high Comprehension Ability, the effects were generally mediocre, perhaps not even considered icing on the cake.

"Brother Li means to invest in me?"

"The resources that are dispensable in your eyes are extremely precious to me. What do you need me to repay, Brother Li?"

With Li Xuanfeng having said this much, Xu Miaozhen was indeed a little moved.

Cultivators Cultivate with a clear purpose: to reach higher Realms, gain stronger power and longer lifespans, and explore a wider world.

Therefore, facing treasures they truly needed, everyone found it very difficult to refuse.

However, Xu Miaozhen always adhered to her principles, not easily accepting things from others. If she did accept, she would find a way to return them.

For her current self, rare items that could enhance her Comprehension Ability were precisely what she urgently needed!

"No need to rush with repayment!"

"Once your strength becomes powerful enough, wouldn't repaying me be effortless?"

Li Xuanfeng smiled.

Xu Miaozhen fell into contemplation.

The stronger her strength, the greater the possibility of helping Li Xuanfeng.

Given this, improving her strength as quickly as possible was the best choice.

Although Li Xuanfeng's talent was astonishing, her talent might not be so far behind that it couldn't be compensated for!

Especially after healing her injuries and recovering her Comprehension Ability, her true talent would be revealed!

As long as she worked hard, she could always keep up and narrow the gap between them!

Then, repaying Li Xuanfeng in the future would be much easier!

After a series of thoughts flashed through her mind, Xu Miaozhen nodded.

Li Xuanfeng was inwardly delighted. Xu Miaozhen finally wanted them; it wasn't easy!

With a thought, various resources flew out from his storage ring.
