Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Entering the Inheritance Cave
Inside the Inheritance Cave, Shen Xiang was unaware that the old bastards were planning to frame him. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Though, he would beat them up to show them who the boss was.
"Are second-tier sect disciples this strong now?" After entering the Inheritance Cave, Shen Xiang separated from Xia Ning Chang, so he just walked leisurely.
However, along the way, he only saw the remnants of battles. Although he didn't care about herbs or monster cores, whenever he came across a monster with delicious meat, he would keep it.
Of course, he would also collect any valuable plants still left behind. He even obtained some Heavenly and Mysterious-level plants, which he would give to Xia Ning Chang.
Thanks to constant refinement, Xia Ning Chang's cultivation had reached the 7th level of True Elemental Stage. If Shen Xiang hadn't held her back, Xia Ning Chang would have already reached the Immortal Ascension Realm.
She could now also use the Primordial Chaos Divine Needle technique. Although its effects were slightly weaker due to her lack of Chaos Qi, Xia Ning Chang had become very skilled with the Yin-Yang Fire Technique Shen Xiang taught her, which covered for some of the weaknesses.
Shen Xiang had also used the Primordial Chaos Divine Needle technique on Su Yan, Hu Mei'er, and Hu Jiao'er, unlocking their potential, improving their Qi flow, strengthening their bodies, and enhancing the quality of their Qi.
"It seems these people have become too strong because every time I refine pills, I add a drop of Endless Medicine Liquid." Although he had suffered some losses, Shen Xiang felt that he had done the right thing.
While Shen Xiang was collecting ingredients and herbs inside the Inheritance Cave, suddenly a beast's roar echoed, causing the cave to tremble.
Roaarrr
After gathering enough materials, Shen Xiang flew toward the source of the sound. He had heard fighting sounds coming from that direction.
But when he arrived, he saw many disciples from the three sects bullying a 6th-level monster, equivalent to the Immortal Ascension Realm.
Shen Xiang felt no need to intervene, as this was good practice for the disciples of the three sects.
"Brother Shen, aren't you going to help?" Xia Ning Chang was the last to arrive. When she saw Shen Xiang sitting on a tree watching the battle, she came and sat next to him.
"No need, let them practice, it's very beneficial for their growth." Shen Xiang reached around Xia Ning Chang's waist and made her sit on his lap.
Xia Ning Chang didn't resist Shen Xiang's actions, as they had been sleeping together every night, though they never did anything inappropriate.
"This battle is over." Shen Xiang could see that the combined attack from Yang Kai, Su Mu, Sister Hu, Fang Ji Zi, and Su Yan was very powerful, causing the monster's body to break apart in several places.
Not long after, one 6th-level Monster Core and five 5th-level Monster Cores floated in the air, then shot toward the sky, making the Inheritance Cave tremble.
"Retreat!" After Su Yan instructed everyone to pull back, they all retreated 10 kilometers. Some guessed that at the end of the golden staircase, there was the actual inheritance.
Once the golden staircase landed on the ground, everyone rushed up to claim the inheritance. Only Su Yan, Hu Mei'er, and Hu Jiao'er were left behind.
"Why aren't you going up?" Shen Xiang appeared with Xia Ning Chang. When he saw that his three women hadn't gone up the stairs yet, he approached them.
"Brother Shen." Hu Mei'er rushed toward Shen Xiang, throwing herself into his embrace.
"Mei'er has grown bigger." Shen Xiang hugged Hu Mei'er and kissed her lightly on the cheek, causing her to giggle.
"Great fight." Shen Xiang looked at Su Yan and Hu Jiao'er, praising their battle, as he had trained with them for quite a while.
"Hmph." Su Yan and Hu Jiao'er snorted after hearing Shen Xiang's praise. Both girls couldn't be honest about their feelings.
Kiss
Kiss
Shen Xiang set Hu Mei'er down before going to Su Yan and Hu Jiao'er, giving them a hug and a light kiss on their cheeks.
"Idiot." Both Su Yan and Hu Jiao'er said the same thing while in Shen Xiang's embrace. This made Xia Ning Chang and Hu Mei'er giggle, watching their antics.
"Alright, let's go up. I'll wait for you all at the top." After releasing Su Yan and Hu Jiao'er from his embrace, Shen Xiang quickly ran up the staircase.
"Have you all been practicing the dual cultivation technique given by Brother Shen?" Xia Ning Chang's question made the girls feel embarrassed, but they all nodded in unison.
"Although we haven't opened the sea of knowledge yet, with the Heavenly Dual Cultivation Scripture, we can communicate with each other. You just need to circulate the Heavenly Dual Cultivation Scripture while imagining the name and appearance of the one you wish to communicate with." After Xia Ning Chang gave a brief explanation, Su Yan and the Hu sisters tried it.
"Hello, Mei'er here."
"Sister, can you hear me?"
"Hello, Sister."
After the three of them succeeded, they were very happy because they could communicate even when apart. Seeing this, Xia Ning Chang smiled in satisfaction.
"Remember what Brother Shen said." After speaking, Xia Ning Chang ran up the golden staircase, followed by Su Yan and the Hu sisters.
