Chapter 21.2: Where Is the Old Man Hiding?
“It’s been a while, Junior Brother Ye,” Li Xun responded with a smile, then asked, “How’s your recovery?”
“Thanks to your Blood Qi Pill, Senior Brother, not only have I fully recovered, but I’ve also broken through to the fourth level of the Body Refinement stage!” Ye Han said excitedly.
The Blood Qi Pill was indeed a precious medicine for Body Refinement cultivators, as it not only healed injuries but also strengthened their blood and qi.
“It seems you were destined to survive and thrive,” Li Xun praised, then asked curiously, “But what brings you here today, Junior Brother?”
“To be honest, Senior Brother, ever since you helped me, I’ve been thinking about how to repay you. Today, I’ve come to return part of that debt,” Ye Han said earnestly, without beating around the bush.
He pulled a book from his robe.
The book was new, still faintly exuding the scent of fresh ink, as if it had just been written.
“This is a high-grade Xuan martial technique called the Golden Body Technique. Once mastered, it grants unparalleled physical defense, making even Qi Condensation or Spirit Meridian experts unable to harm you.”
“You want to give this to me?” Li Xun asked, squinting slightly as he scrutinized Ye Han.
He also noticed that Ye Han wasn’t wearing any storage ring.
But how had Ye Han, a mere outer sect disciple at the bottom of the Body Refinement stage, come into possession of such a rare technique?
The only plausible explanation was that Ye Han had a hidden benefactor—a mysterious old man.
But where was this old man hiding? Li Xun couldn’t be sure just yet.
“Exactly. Please, Senior Brother, don’t refuse!” Ye Han urged, holding out the Golden Body Technique.
Li Xun glanced at Ye Han, then at the technique in his hand.
His expression remained calm, but inwardly, he was overjoyed.
This was a windfall!
Whether the technique came from Ye Han himself or from his mysterious benefactor, it was exactly what Li Xun needed—a powerful defensive technique to complement his Star Crushing Halberd Technique.
With the Golden Body Technique, Li Xun could focus entirely on offense, confident that his defense would be nearly impenetrable.
Everyone knew that Halberd techniques emphasized relentless, overwhelming force.
If an opponent landed a hit, it might not matter—but if Li Xun landed a hit, it could be fatal.
