Chapter 42: Chapter 42 : Visit Bai Ling ll
A few hours later.
"I apologize for the wait, Young Master," said Feng Yuxiang, who had returned after finishing her task.
"It's alright," Yuan nodded simply. He had not sat idle for several hours; his understanding of the Heaven's First Secret Art: Heaven Consuming Technique had increased and risen to the 2nd level, which greatly enhanced its benefits. He could now absorb 500 Qi per second, which was a hundred times the previous level.
Although the existence of the Heaven Refining Physique made the Heaven Consuming Technique nearly useless, it was still crucial for stabilizing his cultivation. Additionally, devouring Monster Cores at his strength level did not offer much benefit.
"..." Feng Feng stared at Yuan, feeling somewhat moved. Yuan had been kind to her despite her initial rudeness.
Feng Yuxiang ▼
[Trust level 2]
[Reward Available]
"..." Yuan glanced at the system notification for a moment and decided to ignore it, as it was possible to accumulate rewards for something better, which was his intention.
"Since we're done here, let's go," Yuan said, standing up to leave. He had many things to do, especially after being able to come to Nine Heavens with his original body.
"Are we going back to Spring City?" Xiao Hua asked since Yuan had left Yu Rou at Cultivators Haven there and needed to return.
"That's right," Yuan nodded. His destination was Spring City to meet Yu Rou and Xuan Wuhan. Additionally, he had another goal: to visit Bai Ling to complete the system mission.
"If someone sees me leaving the city, it will cause a lot of trouble, so I will stay in Young Master's body," Feng Feng said, storing the Monster Core in the Storage Ring. This was the last treasure she had not collected. She turned into a ball of light and entered Yuan's body.
"Shall we go?" Yuan smiled, extending his hand toward Xiao Hua.
"Mm..." Xiao Hua did not hesitate to nod and gently take Yuan's hand, happy to walk with him like this.

Spring City.
With a small amount of money, Yuan arrived at his destination. However, he did not immediately go to see Yu Rou or Xuan Wuhan but headed to Myriad of Techniques to meet Ling Bai. He would be lying if he said he wasn't excited about the system rewards and the rewards that the relevant person would give him.
Thus, upon arriving in Spring City, Yuan headed to Myriad of Techniques while entering any shop that caught his eye along the way. Among these shops were food stalls on the road, and he was happy to taste various foods.
"Excuse me, old man, I want ten skewers of grilled meat," Yuan said, stopping at one of the meat vendor stalls. The smell was extremely tempting, and he could only swallow his saliva, which almost spilled from his mouth.
"Right away!!" The middle-aged man smiled and quickly prepared 10 skewers of grilled meat on some kind of leaf and handed them to Yuan. "Here you go, the price is one silver coin."
"Thank you," Yuan nodded, handed the man a silver coin, quickly took the skewers from him, and began eating one. "Do you want some, Xiao Hua?"
"Thank you, Brother Yuan," although Xiao Hua was not hungry, seeing Yuan eating the skewers with a look of bliss made her want to try them, so she didn't hesitate to accept Yuan's offer and took one of the skewers.
"Delicious..." Xiao Hua murmured as she ate a bite elegantly, unlike Yuan, who ate happily without paying attention to table manners.
"What about you, Feng Feng? Do you want some?" Yuan did not forget the small bird residing inside him.
"Thank you for the offer, Young Master, but I will pass as I am not hungry," although Feng Feng wanted some, she was not fond of street food, so she didn't hesitate to refuse.
"Alright," upon hearing Feng Feng's answer, Yuan simply nodded and didn't pressure her, as this meant more food for himself. With this in mind, Yuan took another skewer of meat and began eating happily.
Yuan ate the skewers of meat happily and quickly finished them when he was in front of a building with the name Myriad of Techniques.
After wiping his mouth and making sure to get rid of the grease and smell of grilled meat from his body, Yuan entered Myriad of Techniques, where he was greeted by the beautiful girl from last time.
"Hello, Yuan," upon seeing Yuan, the beautiful girl with black hair, named Zhu Yuying, smiled, clearly pleased to see Yuan again.
"Hello..." Yuan nodded slightly towards the beautiful girl and said, "Can you inform Senior Bai that I am here to see him as agreed?"
"Sect Master Bai? Certainly," although Zhu Yuying was surprised, she did not hesitate to take out a piece of jade to contact Bai Ling and inform him of Yuan's arrival.
Normally, Bai Ling would be at Myriad of Techniques, and there would be no need to notify him of Yuan's arrival since he would sense him the moment he entered Myriad of Techniques. However, Bai Ling was outside Myriad of Techniques, having gone to a meeting with the Celestial Overlord Faction.
{ Sect Master Bai, Yuan has arrived and seems to want to see you as previously arranged }
After sending this message, Zhu Yuying waited a bit before hearing a response directly in her mind.
{ Yuan? Alright, let him browse the store a bit until I arrive, and if he wants to buy anything, let him have it for free }
Upon hearing Bai Ling's message, Zhu Yuying was slightly surprised, as Yuan's treatment was better than most of the disciples working in Myriad of Techniques. However, she did not find this strange, given that Yuan had shattered the Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune with his mysterious fate.
"Sect Master Bai is on his way here and told me you can browse the store a bit until he arrives," Zhu Yuying smiled lightly, pointing to the stairs nearby. Yuan was qualified to enter the third floor, which allowed him access to stronger techniques than those on the first floor.
"Alright..." Upon hearing Zhu Yuying, Yuan nodded slightly and went up with Xiao Hua to the second floor to see if there was anything that caught his interest.
