A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 68: Make Use of What You’ve Learned

Huang Peiying coughed up fresh blood, her expression dazed.

Feng Liuli leaned close to her ear and whispered, “I forgive you. I hope you can be magnanimous too, and forgive me.

One must be magnanimous in life, not petty.”

Feng Liuli drew her sword.

Huang Peiying clutched her wound, staggered, and collapsed to the ground. She struggled a few times, then quickly stopped breathing.

Feng Liuli wiped the blade, sheathed the sword—her movements smooth and fluid, her eyes calm.

《Don’t Always Tolerate Humiliation》

Section Two of Chapter Two: If someone once tried to kill you, and you found out about it.

Then don’t let her go easily.

Because even if you forgive her, she will still wonder in her heart:

Will you hold a grudge? Will you wait for the right time to take revenge on her?

That alone will cause her to start calculating.

And in the end, she might just think, might as well kill you first…

That Feng Liuli personally killed Huang Peiying was something no one present had expected.

According to sect rules, what Huang Peiying committed was indeed a capital offense.

Now that she was killed by Feng Liuli, it was within reason.

It was just that no one expected that the seemingly gentle and delicate Feng Liuli could make such a clean and decisive move, without a trace of hesitation.

Lu Ziyin silently withdrew the hand he had placed on Feng Liuli’s shoulder.

Someone tell me—what the h**l happened during the year I was gone!?

“...........”

Silver Sword Peak, inside the straw hut.

After learning what Feng Liuli had done,

Li Xuanxiao couldn’t help but nod in approval, and at the same time, let out a breath of relief.

Looks like all the effort he had put in over the past year hadn’t been in vain.

He could finally rest easy for a while. The asset accumulation plan couldn’t wait any longer.

Li Xuanxiao calculated what he currently needed to do.

The sword case the old man left him held four treasure swords.

He had already completely refined the Spring Sword.

Now he was stuck on the Summer Sword.

He needed more resources.

The process of refining a flying sword was extremely dangerous.

One slip, and he could accidentally injure himself—leading to death and complete erasure.

The Crane-Beak Silver Needle was also due for an upgrade.

Ever since becoming a Golden Core,

this life-bound magical artifact still hadn’t been upgraded.

And Li Xuanxiao felt that three Crane-Beak Silver Needles weren’t enough.

Now, with his current divine sense, he could control at least double the number.

As for other magical artifacts, there was no rush to upgrade.

.......

After advancing to Golden Core, although his cultivation level had stabilized,

his techniques and divine abilities hadn’t been effectively improved or reviewed.

Hmm, only reviewed them a little over three hundred times.

Quite unsettling.

Li Xuanxiao’s main techniques:

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Dao: Ruthless Dao.

Cultivation Techniques:

Longevity Scripture (Greatly extends life. In the cultivation world, the goal is to seek the Dao and longevity.

“Let him be strong, the breeze brushes the hill. Let him be wild, the bright moon lights the river.”)

Five Poisons Heart-Eroding Technique (Toxin scripture, increases lifespan)

Seven-Star Soul Returning Technique (Toxin scripture, effectively increases lifespan)

Great Mercy Body Refining Technique

(A Buddhist cultivation technique, used to neutralize baleful energy in the body. Since he had killed too much, evil and heretical forces might have left traces of baleful aura inside.

.....There should be some—even just a little.

So out of caution, Li Xuanxiao learned this body refining technique.

Not a technique ordinary cultivators can learn—requires extreme pain endurance and immense willpower.

Increases lifespan)

Turtle Defense Technique (Tempers the body, increases lifespan)

Burning Technique (Fire-attribute cultivation technique, increases lifespan)

Mount Shushan Sword Manual (Essential for Mount Shushan disciples)

Mount Shushan Sword Formation (One person becomes the sword formation, essential for Mount Shushan disciples)

Mount Shushan Sword Formation 2.0 (Improved by Li Xuanxiao, more suitable for himself)

........

Divine Abilities:

External Body Technique (Creates clones, greatly increases survival odds)

Divine Sense Cultivation Technique

(Support-type divine ability, trains divine sense.

Divine sense allows control over self and surroundings, scans other cultivators’ cultivation levels, manipulates spiritual energy, casts spells, and drives magical artifacts… also increases lifespan)

Difference between Divine Abilities and Cultivation Techniques:

Divine abilities are powers that manifest from intense refinement of body and spirit.

They are personal accomplishments—extensions of oneself.

.........

In addition, Li Xuanxiao focused on three major paths:

Alchemy, Formations, and Artifacts.

Not a single one left out.

Because he had Five Element Spiritual Roots, also called Mixed Spiritual Roots.

This kind of root covers all five elements, making it harder to draw in spiritual energy—almost like a regular person.

Back in the day, the old man opened his Heaven Gate, giving him the chance to pursue immortality.

Single Spiritual Roots, also known as Heavenly Roots, have the fastest cultivation speed in their element and break through bottlenecks more easily.

But trying to train other elements is inefficient, even impossible.

People like Zhao Lu and Su Wan had Single Spiritual Roots.

Some even had Mutated Spiritual Roots—extremely powerful.

(Mutated roots: Formed from elemental synergy or enhancement, like light, wind, lightning, ice, etc.)

.......

But Li Xuanxiao had found his own path.

Having Five Element Roots meant he had to train in metal, wood, water, fire, and earth simultaneously.

Each element restricts and complements the others—it was no easy task to balance and integrate them.

In early cultivation stages, people with Five Element Roots often lagged behind due to scattered focus.

However, once they overcame those challenges and broke through bottlenecks,

their prolonged multi-element training gave them far superior control over spiritual energy. They could cast spells and divine abilities with ease,

even adapt their spiritual energy on the fly during battle—completely unpredictable to enemies.

All that slow buildup leads to explosive power.

As the saying goes: “If you’re weak, just train more!!”

Li Xuanxiao stepped out of the straw hut, looked up toward the sky above Silver Sword Peak.

There’s no such thing as a peaceful life—it’s just that his current self was carrying the burdens for his future self.

The asset accumulation plan officially began.

Goal: amass a huge fortune.

Then retreat into seclusion and cultivate like crazy.
