Another Cliché Cultivation Story

Chapter 71



When Ji Xian arrived at the Third Yin Pavilion, the doors to the great tower were already open and Guo Xinyi was waiting outside.

He nodded at her before walking inside. Compared to the Core Yin Pavilion, the Third Yin Pavilion was just a little smaller but everything else was remarkably similar. The first floor was for meetings, the second floor was for guests, and the third and fourth floors seemed to be for training and cultivation. Ji Xian quickly lost interest after a single glance.

As he made his way to the top floor, Guo Xinyi was feeling slightly nervous.

This is the first time a man is going to be entering her room.

She faintly lifts her head and took a peek at Ji Xian. Unfortunately, due to the veil and the long hair hanging over his face, it was impossible to see anything.

I wonder if Yueyin has already seen his appearance…

She was almost tempted to use her spiritual sense to see what Ji Xian looked like but that would be rude, not to mention, she was certain that she would be discovered immediately.

Where would she even begin to explain herself if he were to question her?

Guo Xinyi’s cheeks softly turned pink just from the thought of it.

At this moment…

“Ah?”

Due to her absentmindedness, Guo Xinyi didn’t realize that Ji Xian had stopped walking and she bumped into him.

“So-sorry Seni- uh Ji Xian.” She apologized in a fluster.

Ji Xian was surprised when he suddenly felt something soft hit him from the back. He turned around and stared at the awkward Guo Xinyi for a second before letting out a soft laugh.

“It’s fine.” He said casually, “There’s a formation guarding this door, I’ll let you open it.”

“Ye-yes.”

Standing beside Ji Xian was Xia Lihua. She had been paying close attention to him the entire time. Her eyes briefly flashed with surprise when she saw his casual attitude.

He’s really different from other men… there’s no lust coming from him at all…

She had noticed this about him for a while now but Ji Xian doesn't treat the matter of men and women the same as most people in the world do. Physical contact between genders of the opposite sex was no small matter but he had never seen it as a big deal. His casual attitude toward certain things can feel quite foreign to her at times.

If Ji Xian were to know her thoughts, he would truly be speechless. It’s just a bump, were you really expecting me to be horny just from that?

A content smile appeared on Xia Lihua’s face as she stared at him passionately.

Ji Xian naturally noticed this and it caused him to raise an eyebrow.

“We’re in public, you know. Control yourself.”

“…”

“Hmph! Moron.” Xia Lihua unhappily snorted before turning away to hide her red face.

Guo Xinyi overheard him as she release the formation guarding the door. Her lips slightly curved upwards and she couldn’t help but take another peek at him.

I can see why Yueyin had fallen for him.

Ji Xian inwardly nodded when he saw the spacious room, “You should prepare yourself,” he said to Guo Xinyi.

She nodded seriously before sitting down cross-legged on an ice bed that sat in the middle of the room.

It was at this moment that Xiao Yueyin finally arrived. She stood next to Xia Lihua and watched everything silently.

Xia Lihua instantly spotted the black necklace that Xiao Yueyin was wearing. This didn’t surprise her, after all, she was with Ji Xian when he bought it.

Seeing how hard Xiao Yueyin was trying to hide her happiness, Xia Lihua inwardly sighed. How could she not understand what Xiao Yueyin was feeling?

Her eyes moved between Xiao Yueyin and Guo Xinyi before landing on Ji Xian. She looked at him with a thoughtful expression but didn’t say anything.

“The formation that I’m about to cast is called the Psuedo Rejection Field.” Ji Xian explained to Guo Xinyi.

“As the name would suggest, it is able to imitate the Rejection but only by at most thirty percent. I’ll create the number of runes accordingly so it’ll match the Rejection of the Ninth Life Destruction.”

Guo Xinyi nodded, “That means I’ll be experiencing the Rejection of the Ninth Life Destruction at thirty percent…”

“Yes, but don’t look down on this thirty percent, after all, the purpose of this is to train your will.”

Without any further explanation, Ji Xian began making the required runes.

Xia Lihua and Xiao Yueyin watched from the side. As time when on, the more confused they became.

“What is he doing?” Asked Xiao Yueyin.

Xia Lihua shook her head, indicating that she wasn’t sure. The way Ji Xian was making the formation this time was different from when she saw him make one in Solitude City.

Last time, Ji Xian created runes by simply drawing in the air but now, after performing a single hand sign, he was only muttering something under his breath.

When Xia Lihua tried to focus on what he was saying, she could only hear him repeating three sounds. It made no sense and the more she listened, Xia Lihua realized that Ji Xian was repeating the sound but at a different rhythm.

“Ddaear, marwol, dynion.”

“Ddaear, marwol, dynion.”

Suddenly, Xiao Yueyin’s eyes widened as she noticed something.

“What is it?” Xia Lihua asked after seeing her expression.

“The True Essence in the surrounding is moving by itself and condensing into a single rune, I think. It doesn’t exactly look like a rune.”

Hearing this, Xia Lihua finally understood.

The Three Tongue Gist!

Ji Xian must’ve learned to do this from the Formatic!

Xia Lihua wasn’t able to sense the change in the True Essence because she was a Body Cultivator! She was one of the unfortunate ones that were born unable to sense True Essence.

She channeled her Astral Essence into her eyes and they glowed with a silver hue. Thanks to the incompatibility of the two Essence, Xia Lihua could now see the rune that Xiao Yueyin mentioned.

It floated quietly above Guo Xinyi, spinning rather slowly. It formed a dome that enveloped her.

Finally, Ji Xian put down his hand and stopped chanting.

“This…” Guo Xinyi frowned as sweat started forming on her face. What she was feeling was hard to explain, but it felt like she was going head-to-head against the entire universe!

How can this only be thirty percent!? It’s so strong! Is this what Yueyin went through?

No wonder there has only been a handful of people who achieved Ninefalls!
