Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 72 Too Poor Talent?

"Don't be afraid, it'll be quick!" Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow at him, carefully sensing the strength of the battle qi in his meridians, then asked, "What level of cultivation technique is this?"

"Mysterious Rank...low-level!" Xiao Li gritted his teeth and said.

He felt a surge of energy flowing into his meridians through his fist. He could sense that it was lightning-attribute battle qi of extremely high quality. His battle qi strength was as fragile as paper in the face of this battle qi, and it would break with a single impact.

My whole body felt numb, and I couldn't help but feel terrified. Just how strong was this guy?

Xiao Bai nodded and released his grip. He had previously read the description of the Earth-rank cultivation technique and now, after sensing the intensity of the low-level Profound-rank technique, he had gained some understanding of the cultivation technique ranks in the Dou Qi Continent.

At this moment, he also became somewhat interested in the Heavenly Rank lightning-based cultivation technique. He wondered if he would be able to see it in the future, but he only knew that the Thunder Clan possessed such a technique, and now was not the time.

"Not bad! Second Brother Xiao, it seems you've had some good fortune on this trip!" Xiao Bai teased, watching Xiao Li jump back a few steps to stretch his limbs. He knew that the best lightning-type cultivation technique the Xiao family had was only a high-level Yellow Rank technique.

Xiao Li rolled his eyes, looking at this guy with a terrible temper, feeling somewhat helpless. He couldn't beat him before, and he still couldn't beat him now. It seemed that his idea of ​​beating him up would never be possible in the future.

"What are you doing in Stone Desert City?" Xiao Li sat down at the table and asked Xiao Bai in an annoyed tone.

"I've come to see you all!" Xiao Bai said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li found Xiao Bai much more agreeable. They had been missing home for the past few years, and he was pleasantly surprised to see Xiao Bai today.

"But seeing that you're doing quite well, I'm very disappointed!" Xiao Bai continued, his tone seemingly regretful.

"Damn it!" Xiao Li's anger rose again. He took back his previous thoughts. What a load of rubbish, this guy is still such a bastard.

Xue Lan felt a little sorry for her Second Regiment Commander, whose expression kept changing. The Second Regiment Commander had always been known for being cold and ruthless, but today he was so fluctuating in his emotions because of the white-haired youth. This was the first time she had ever seen him like this.

However, the Second Regiment Commander's clansman's words were really infuriating! Even she, an outsider, felt an urge to hit him, but considering that the Second Regiment Commander had just been humiliated, she, a mere fighter, felt even more humiliated.

Seeing the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Xue Lan remembered the purpose of her visit and hurriedly said to Xiao Li, "Second Regiment Commander, this is the Qing Lin I was talking about, look."

Xiao Li calmed himself down, turned to look at Qing Lin standing next to Xiao Bai, and casually said, "Okay, let her be a maid in the mercenary group!"

He didn't care about Qinglin's identity. He wasn't a local of Shimo City and didn't care about the hatred between the two races. As for that curse, he didn't care at all.

"Thank you, Sister Xuelan, but Qinglin is now the young master's maid and cannot go to the mercenary group!" Qinglin bowed to thank Xuelan and gently refused.

If she hadn't met the young master, she wouldn't have refused, but now she didn't want to go there. Although the two of them were nice and didn't give her any disgusted looks, she couldn't be sure about the mercenary group.

"You took her in as a maid?" Xiao Li looked at the person Qing Lin was talking about, somewhat surprised.

"What? You have a problem with that?" Xiao Bai glanced at him indifferently.

Xiao Li shook his head: "Whatever you want!"

She's just a little girl. He came to see her at Xue Lan's request, and now that Xiao Bai has taken her away, it doesn't matter.

"Although I don't know what you're doing in Stone Desert City, since you're here, why don't you come and visit our mercenary group?" Xiao Li invited, even though he was annoyed by this annoying guy.

Xiao Bai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Judging from Xiao Li's attitude, he had let go of what happened back then. If he refused, it would seem like he couldn't let go, even though he had never taken it to heart.

Nighttime, the headquarters of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

Inside a guest room, Xiao Bai was teaching Qing Lin how to cultivate his fighting power.

After arriving here with Xiao Li during the day, we met Xiao Ding. This guy is much more mature and composed now. He was very enthusiastic when he saw Xiao Bai, unlike Xiao Li, who would attack as soon as they met.

He watched the little girl cultivate while communicating with the old medicine master in the ring.

"Senior, do you know anything about the Jade Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil?"

"I don't know much about this either. This kind of physique is extremely rare. I only know that they can enhance their strength by taming snake-like magical beasts. This is the first time I've ever seen a true Azure Serpent with Three-Flower Eyes!"

The old doctor said with deep emotion, "I never expected that Xiao Bai would be so lucky."

They went out to search for the Strange Flame, but still haven't found it. However, they've had quite a haul; they even managed to pick up a top-tier physique from the Dou Qi Continent by the roadside.

He had also noticed the strange feeling in his soul during the day, and was a little shocked at the time, but seeing that Xiao Bai had already noticed, he didn't say anything.

I was waiting for this kid to ask him, but I didn't expect him to know about this physique. I feel that Xiao Bai is becoming more and more mysterious.

"However, there is a power called the Heavenly Serpent Palace in the Northwest Continent. They should know a lot about this kind of physique. Legend has it that their founder, the first palace master, possessed the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil! Moreover, his cultivation once reached the level of a half-saint. If he hadn't been unable to subdue a Dou Sheng-level snake-type magical beast, his cultivation might have been even higher!" The old doctor pondered for a moment and continued.

"The Heavenly Serpent Palace?" Xiao Bai remained noncommittal.

He certainly knew about the Heavenly Serpent Palace. In the original story, Qing Lin was taken there and became a Dou Zun in just over ten years. However, he was still considering whether to send Qing Lin to the Heavenly Serpent Palace in the future.

He didn't know much about the Heavenly Serpent Palace. The original novel only briefly mentioned this power. Qinglin's background was too tragic. If she didn't fare well there, it would be better for her to stay by his side.

"How are you feeling?" Xiao Bai asked gently when he saw Qing Lin open her big eyes.

"Young master, Qinglin didn't sense the kind of energy you mentioned. Is it because Qinglin's talent for cultivation is too poor?" The little girl's clear eyes were filled with sadness, and her tone was somewhat disappointed.

The little girl is quite sensitive and insecure right now. She feels like she's stupid and can't do anything right except wash clothes and cook.

Xiao Bai was speechless!

The old doctor was speechless!

This is the first time I've ever heard someone with such a top-tier physique say they have poor talent. If that's considered poor talent, then what are the two of them? Trash?

Suppressing his thoughts, Xiao Bai gently patted the little girl's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, everyone's like this the first time they start cultivating. I also spent several days cultivating before I succeeded!"

"real?"

"Really!" Xiao Bai nodded with a smile. Although he had lied, he couldn't tell the truth now, otherwise the little girl would overthink it.

Her current condition is likely related to the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil. As for what to do, Xiao Bai doesn't know yet, but there's no rush. The Fire Spirit Serpent is right there in the magma underground. At worst, he can just try it according to the original story and find out.

Hearing this, the little girl felt a little relieved. She was very happy that Xiao Bai had said he would teach her cultivation tonight. If she could cultivate, she could better help the young master.

Her heart is now filled with thoughts of her young master. When he is happy, she is happy. But now that her cultivation has failed, she is a little afraid of seeing disappointment in Xiao Bai's eyes.

"Qinglin will work hard to cultivate and will definitely not let Young Master down!" the little girl silently decided in her heart.
