Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1793 - 1798: Comparing People Can Really Make You Frustrated

Chapter 1793: Chapter 1798: Comparing People Can Really Make You Frustrated

"Elder Bai, may I ask, do all spiritual artifacts have this function?"

Xia Liu was quite puzzled at this.

"Of course not. If all spiritual artifacts had it, then there would be too many low-rank strong individuals in the world."

Bai Jue explained, "The spiritual artifacts that can convey divine sense have it because they contain a spirit within."

"Is this spirit a sword spirit?"

"No, this spirit may be some Golden Core Stage cultivator extracting some soul force into it before passing, to convey the usage techniques of the spiritual artifact used in this life."

Xia Liu nodded, so that’s how it was.

"Some spiritual artifacts are quite special and can’t be imbued with spirit souls, while others have simply had their soul power worn away by time."

"Then, aren’t I quite fortunate?"

"Your fortune is something even I cannot fathom. Your future holds endless possibilities."

That was the strongest personal evaluation Bai Jue had ever given in his lifetime.

Indeed, that was the case.

He couldn’t understand Xia Liu.

Just the glows within Xia Liu’s sea of consciousness were enough.

Bai Jue naturally didn’t ask about these things.

After all, at one point, he was impulsively thinking about seizing Xia Liu’s body.

Fortunately, Xia Liu wasn’t that kind of extreme cultivator.

Otherwise, how would he have the right to convey divine sense here now?

"Ha, whether I have an endless future or not depends on Elder Bai’s help."

Xia Liu laughed heartily.

With Bai Jue’s help, he believed he could be quite stable and secure in the cultivation realm!

"Of course, but in the future, I too will need your protection."

"Ahem, let’s not talk about these things for now. Daydreaming too long can make one lose focus on cultivation."

"Haha, it’s good that you have figured it out."

After communicating through divine sense, Bai Jue fell silent.

Just having consumed gall fluid, he also needed some time to process it.

Xia Liu then got up to open the ship’s cabin.

When he appeared, he was immediately met with several respectful gazes.

"Senior Xia!"

Several cultivators guarding the large ship saw Xia Liu and promptly greeted him with respect.

"Ahem, no need to be so formal."

"Young Friend Xia, you’ve finally come out of seclusion, you had us all worried to death."

Suddenly, Ye Shengtian’s voice came from the upper level of the ship.

Xia Liu smiled slightly and leapt to Ye Shengtian’s side.

It was a simple tea room here.

Fan Xin was intently preparing spiritual tea.

Seeing Xia Liu’s gaze, she quickly averted her eyes, wanting to avoid it.

"Sorry to have worried everyone."

"Young Friend Xia, your capabilities are truly astonishing; now even I have little confidence in facing you."

Ye Shengtian was genuinely impressed.

Xia Liu had given him a new understanding.

He realized that even Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators could achieve such feats.

To call him the best below the Foundation Establishment Stage might even be an understatement.

Ye Shengtian was sure that even Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivators would suffer at Xia Liu’s hands.

"Senior Ye, you jest. My energy body is just particularly effective against demon beasts and evil spirits. As for cultivators, I can only suppress those of the same stage."

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing Xia Liu’s somewhat boasting words, Fan Xin couldn’t help but laugh.

"Senior Xia! Are you intentionally trying to infuriate us?"

"Ahem, I’m just speaking the truth. When it comes to challenging higher levels, I’m not that confident, only barely capable."

Xia Liu spread his hands.

He already considered himself humble.

After showcasing many trump cards, calling himself weak would certainly be deemed insincere.

"Grandpa Shengtian! I don’t want to live anymore! Help me send my will back to my father..."

"Hahaha! Xinxin, don’t be too upset. Young Friend Xia’s achievements weren’t innate; he surely went through countless trials to reach today’s accomplishments."

Ye Shengtian laughed heartily.

Being a strong individual was never easy, regardless of the era.

He certainly didn’t believe Xia Liu was born possessing psychic abilities.

That simply wasn’t possible.

To this, Xia Liu chuckled but offered no explanation.

His experiences were indeed quite rich.

Full of slaughter, blood, cruelty, and pain.

In short, it wasn’t easy at all.

"Ah! Comparing oneself to others can be infuriating."

Fan Xin shook her head, unsure what else she could do.

She felt despair too.

She had clearly tried so hard.

Clearly given up so much, having followed Ye Shengtian out to sea for three years.

She thought she was already quite strong among her peers.

The appearance of Xia Liu knocked her back to square one.

Now, she wasn’t even at the bottom.

Compared to her eldest and second brothers, among the three heirs of the Fan Family, she was the weakest...

"Miss Xinxin, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If you had gone through my experiences, you too would exceed cultivators of your level, but I wouldn’t suggest being too reckless because I’ve lost so much..."

At the end, Xia Liu’s voice began to tremble.

A chill spread quietly.

Recalling the past, an indescribable pain surged from the depths of his soul.

"Ahem, Senior Xia, please have some tea."

Noticing the change in Xia Liu, to break the chill and his sorrow, Fan Xin bravely offered a warm cup of tea to him.

"Thank you."

Xia Liu habitually smiled, downing the tea in one gulp.

Even if it was scalding.

Perhaps only this could slightly lessen the pain in his heart.

"Young Friend Xia, about what you mentioned earlier, I want to revisit it."

"Hmm? What is it?"

Xia Liu became attentive.

"About joining the Imperial Sky Gate, I’ve now confirmed that you may take one entry spot from the Fan Family."

"Oh? Logically, it shouldn’t be that simple, right? Is Senior Ye planning to sacrifice something for this spot?"

Xia Liu found it rather unusual.

This shouldn’t have been so easy.

"Don’t overthink it, I won’t be sacrificing anything."

Ye Shengtian quickly clarified.

He didn’t want Xia Liu worrying over him.

That would burden him.

"Yes, Senior Xia, don’t overthink it, we will definitely meet your expectations."

"Miss Xinxin, I feel like you might have discussed this. Is something required?"

"The person issuing the spots is my father. Initially, I didn’t like you very much, so I didn’t want to help. But now it’s different."

Fan Xin lifted her head, speaking with confidence.

"Uh, so now does Miss Xinxin like me?"

"Yes."

Realizing she misspoke, Fan Xin immediately responded, "Pfft! I don’t like you at all."

"Haha! Xinxin, you’re at an age where finding a cultivator like Xia Liu with such talent for a Dao companion would certainly please the Family Head."

Ye Shengtian added fuel to the fire.

He had high hopes for Xia Liu.

If he could be brought into the fold, made part of the Fan Family.

The Fan Family would surely rise above other families or powers in the county.

"Grandpa Shengtian, please don’t joke about me. I know my own worth..."

As she spoke, Fan Xin sneaked a glance at Xia Liu.

Noticing that he remained unmoved, Fan Xin sighed inwardly many times.

With no other choice, she continued preparing tea.

Xia Liu’s thoughts were not in these teasing words, his divine sense had already projected onto the land thirty miles away...
