Chapter 564: Master, You Must Remember to Repay Me Well!

"Master needs to prepare for the Breakthrough; do not disturb me!"

Lian Yuezhou's figure drifted backward lightly, taking the initiative to distance herself from Li Xuanfeng.

Undergoing Tribulation was all too familiar to Lian Yuezhou. Looking across the entire Canglan Realm, no race, no living being, and no Cultivator had more experience with tribulations than she did!

Only her weakest secondary body had yet to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm; all her other bodies had already experienced the Heavenly Tribulation.

Precisely because of her rich experience, she understood the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. Before Undergoing Tribulation, she had to make full preparations. A slight oversight could lead to her death and the total erasure of her existence. Thus, she had to adjust her state to its peak before she would summon the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Let me help you, Master!"

With a shift of his body, Li Xuanfeng immediately reappeared by Lian Yuezhou's side and directly grabbed her fair wrist. With Lian Yuezhou's Late-Stage Saint secondary body, how could she possibly break free?

"Fenger, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Lian Yuezhou struggled twice, but finding her wrist held immovable by Li Xuanfeng's grip, she couldn't help but look at her Disciple with doubt in her phoenix-like eyes.

She knew that even if Li Xuanfeng truly harbored rebellious thoughts toward her as his Master deep in his heart, he would not act without considering the occasion.

Preserving her virginity and not losing her Primal Yin was vital to her path of cultivation; it was an absolute bottom line that could not be crossed. Li Xuanfeng had long been aware of this. Even though he could indeed prevent this secondary body of Lian Yuezhou from resisting right now, he certainly wouldn't do anything too excessive.

But right now, she needed to adjust her state as quickly as possible to face the Heavenly Tribulation. Why was Li Xuanfeng still obstructing her and wasting time?

"No one knows when the experts of the foreign races will descend, so I plan to give you a Secret Art to speed up your adjustment and recovery. It's best to complete the Breakthrough and tribulation before the powerful enemies arrive!"

Li Xuanfeng smiled.

For Li Xuanfeng, he wanted to participate as much as possible in Lian Yuezhou's Breakthrough, because the higher his involvement, the higher the System's return multiplier would be.

Lian Yuezhou breaking through from Late-Stage Saint to Saint King would bring Li Xuanfeng a minimum ten-fold return. Such a multiplier might allow Li Xuanfeng's cultivation to jump from Mid-Stage Saint King to Late Stage, but it wouldn't bring him more gains beyond that.

If he wanted to obtain more, he needed to increase his involvement. Acting as her Protector was one way, and helping her adjust to her peak state was another. Any action helpful to Lian Yuezhou's Breakthrough had a chance to increase his involvement and the return multiplier.

In truth, the best method was Dual Cultivation, as the return multiplier for that would be very high. Unfortunately, that path was not an option right now. Even if Li Xuanfeng wanted to, Lian Yuezhou would certainly not agree.

In fact, even if Lian Yuezhou herself wanted to engage in Dual Cultivation, she definitely wouldn't. Whether to choose Dual Cultivation for a momentary impulse or to wait for the nine bodies to merge into one to charge toward the Great Emperor Realm—such a question required no consideration.

"A Secret Art?"

Lian Yuezhou looked at Li Xuanfeng with some surprise.

"Master, do you have any treasures on you for rapid refinement and recovery of cultivation?"

Li Xuanfeng asked.

"I do."

Lian Yuezhou nodded.

In the Endless Void, especially in places far from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Field Grand Array, energy was quite thin. Absorbing and recovering was nowhere near as fast as in the Canglan Realm. Lian Yuezhou would carry some treasures that could be quickly refined to recover cultivation when traveling the Void Realm to deal with emergencies.

"Good. This Secret Art of mine can precisely help you refine them quickly!"

As Li Xuanfeng spoke, he lightly pressed his index finger against the center of Lian Yuezhou's brow. A large amount of Secret Art content flooded into her mind in the form of memories.

As the information spread through her mind, Lian Yuezhou's phoenix-like eyes widened bit by bit.

"Free Spirit Seizing Secret Art?!"

After a brief understanding of the Secret Art's content, Lian Yuezhou could not control the shock in her heart.

She hadn't expected her Disciple to be hiding such a top-tier Secret Art. This Secret Art could be called the strongest for refining all kinds of Heaven And Earth Treasures. Its refinement speed was extremely fast and its efficiency was incredibly high. Most importantly, it could refine automatically!

In other words, once one learned this Secret Art, whether sleeping, fighting, meditating, or even comprehending various paths of cultivation—or even during Dual Cultivation—the Free Spirit Seizing Secret Art could automatically help absorb and refine the energy of Heaven And Earth Treasures.

If one actively operated this Secret Art, the refinement speed would reach an even more astonishing level!

To put it bluntly, with the Free Spirit Seizing Secret Art, the speed at which Lian Yuezhou recovered her power and adjusted her state would be at least a dozen times faster, or even dozens of times faster!

"You brat…"

After roughly digesting the content of the Secret Art, Lian Yuezhou sized up Li Xuanfeng with eyes full of deep meaning.

As his Master and one of the nine Supreme Experts of the Canglan Realm, how could Lian Yuezhou not know that there were too many irrationalities surrounding her Disciple?

These irrationalities weren't just about his cultivation talent; there were also the various treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and Secret Arts he obtained out of thin air, as well as the changes in his Physique.

Li Xuanfeng's current Primordial Chaos Physique was definitely not something that could be achieved just through a Physique Awakening. The Cultivation Technique he currently practiced was also not one taught by Lian Yuezhou.

As for this Free Spirit Seizing Secret Art, Lian Yuezhou had never even heard of it.

If she had to explain the origins of these things, the only explanation would be a Great Emperor's Legacy.

And it would have to be the lifelong Legacy of such an emperor.

Whether Li Xuanfeng had truly obtained such an Opportunity, Lian Yuezhou didn't know, but she adhered to the principle that these were Li Xuanfeng's own things, so she wouldn't ask too many questions.

"It should have been the Master teaching the Disciple Secret Arts, yet I never expected that for me to obtain such a top-tier Secret Art, I would have to rely on my Disciple's filial piety. It is truly shameful."

Lian Yuezhou sighed.

"Then Master must remember to repay me well!"

Li Xuanfeng smiled and lightly caressed Lian Yuezhou's smooth wrist.

The Free Spirit Seizing Secret Art was a Secret Art returned by the System, so after passing it to Lian Yuezhou, he could not receive a return for it again.

This Secret Art was indeed top-tier within the Canglan Realm, to the point where any Supreme Expert would be incredibly tempted by it.

Li Xuanfeng wouldn't easily pass it to others, but passing it to Lian Yuezhou would only bring him greater gains. Since he had bound Lian Yuezhou, any increase in her cultivation would be returned to him at a minimum of ten-fold.

Passing it to Lian Yuezhou this time would help her quickly adjust and recover her state, increasing Li Xuanfeng's involvement.

From the moment Lian Yuezhou took Li Xuanfeng as her Disciple, she had actually helped him quite a bit, having resolved several life-and-death crises for him.

Moreover, deep in his heart, Li Xuanfeng already considered Lian Yuezhou his woman. Ever since he experienced the hundred-thousand-year dream world with her, he knew that the chance of winning over his Master had become very high. It was just that that day would likely only come after her nine bodies merged.

Giving his woman a top-tier Secret Art and benefiting from it through higher feedback—why wouldn't Li Xuanfeng do it?

"As for the matter of repayment, let's talk about it after we get through this crisis."

Lian Yuezhou smiled, allowing Li Xuanfeng to hold her wrist.

When she noticed the Hundred Flowers Great Sage glancing over from a distance with an increasingly strange look, Lian Yuezhou silently withdrew her hand from her Disciple's grasp.
