C22 Sylph

"Senior also knows about Sylph?" Liu Xiaoxiao raised her head and asked.

Qing Chi nodded and shook his head. "I know, I have heard about it before. It's just that after living for so long, I've seen countless people. You are the first one."

As Qing Chi said this, he stretched out his finger and made a "one."

"According to the legends, Sylph was born with a mother and a daughter due to the conflict between her innate Qi and her acquired Qi. There has never been an exception. Now that I have seen a living Sylph, I am truly fortunate."

Chen Yuan noticed that when Qing Chi said this, Liu Xiaoxiao's expression became much dimmer.

"Senior is right. When Sylph was born, as the carrier of the acquired Qi, she would die."

This was the pain in Liu Xiaoxiao's heart, and it was something that she could not let go of. Because her birth, her mother died because of her, and her father paid an indescribable price to save her!

But even so, she was still born handicapped and could not cultivate.

"Senior, do you have any way to help Xiaoxiao recover her leg?" Chen Yuan could not help but interrupt.

"Young man, you think too highly of me. This is not a disability caused by injuries, but a wrath of heaven. The Heavenly Dao does not allow an Innate Body to appear in a human body of the acquired stage. Therefore, it has fallen to the wrath of heaven."

"This girl is already extremely lucky to be able to survive the wrath of heaven. Do you want to recover her legs?"

Qing Chi shook his head, indicating that he could not help her.

"However, I heard that there is another kind of people in this world. They call themselves the 'defying' and specialize in defying the heavens. If you can find them, perhaps you might be able to find a way."

If you want to solve the problem, you have to find the person who did it.

If he wanted to solve the problem of Liu Xiaoxiao's legs being punished by the wrath of heaven, he could only find those people who specialized in fighting against the heavens.

Calling them people might be too lowly. How could those who could fight against the heavens be ordinary?

"Where are they?" Chen Yuan asked. He had promised two things before. One was to bring Liu Xiaoxiao to a safe place, and the other was to cure her legs.

Now that he had news, how could he let it go?

"Where?" Qing Chi raised his eyebrows and thought about it carefully. His eyebrows gradually relaxed. "Maybe in the south. I can't say exactly where. It was a hundred years ago when I last saw them."

A hundred years ago, the 'defying' had gone to the south. Now, he couldn't know where they were.

"Maybe they are already dead. Young people, don't have too much hope."

Fighting against the heavens was like walking on thin ice. It was difficult to walk a path against the heavens. Even if one died in the morning, it was not impossible.

"Alright, since senior has already said so much, I'm afraid you are tired." Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke and interrupted Chen Yuan, who was about to continue questioning.

Chen Yuan saw Liu Xiaoxiao's gaze and fell silent.

The two of them had already formed a tacit understanding since escaping from the Celestial Archives. Seeing that Liu Xiaoxiao was unwilling to continue the topic, Chen Yuan could only stop.

At least, it was always a good thing to have some progress now.

Time passed unknowingly as the few of them were talking. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.

The three of them, who had originally planned to use the water channel to rush to the destination, had no choice but to postpone their journey because of the Azure Drake Waterfall.

"Even cultivators with profound cultivation would not dare to move around at night. Why don't you all spend the night by the pond? It won't be too late to continue tomorrow." Qing Chi suggested.

These words were already very polite.

Chen Yuan and the others were not stupid. If even cultivators with profound cultivation did not dare to move around, then their group would probably be even more...

"Then I will accept your respect!" Chen Yuan bowed and thanked.

Since Qing Chi had already spoken, then the Azure Drake at the bottom of the pond would definitely no longer be a threat. Otherwise, the other party would not have set them up for no reason.

After making their decision, Chen Yuan was in charge of finding firewood and Liu Xiaoxiao and Kang Na would help to set up a fire. In a short while, a new bonfire was set up.

At this time, Qing Chi had also brought a lot of fresh fish from the top of the waterfall.

"Will the noise be too loud?" Chen Yuan was a little worried when he saw the fish.

Qing Chi had said before that if the Azure Drake ate the blood, the consequences would be unimaginable. Qing Chi shook his head to indicate that it was fine.

"Don't worry. The Azure Drake is different from humans. Once it is full, no matter what it takes to tempt it, it will not move again."

As Qing Chi explained, he had already finished processing the fish.

Looking at his skilled technique, he did not look like an expert at all, but more like an old fisherman.

"Just now, you were the one who talked about that girl. What are your plans for cultivation?" Qing Chi gave the fish that he had cleaned up to Chen Yuan and the other two, and sat down near the bonfire.

His own plans for cultivation?

Chen Yuan did not expect Qing Chi to suddenly bring up this matter.

"My own plans?" Chen Yuan pierced the fish with a long wooden stick and roasted it on the fire. Looking at the leaping flames, two balls of fire appeared in Chen Yuan's eyes.

"I want to continue cultivating."

"Is that all? There are many types of cultivation. For example, those with extraordinary talent or those with shocking bloodlines. Their cultivation is not only smooth, but they can also easily reach the peak and be respected by thousands of people. And those who have obtained fortuitous encounters or can communicate with the heavens and earth have their own good fortune."

Qing Chi paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course, there are also Body Cultivators. They do not have extraordinary talent, amazing inheritances, or fortuitous encounters. Therefore, they are considered the lowest of the cultivators."

"That's not the case!" Liu Xiaoxiao interrupted before Chen Yuan could speak. "Who said that the Body Cultivators are inferior to them?!"

"Oh? What do you have to say?" Qing Chi did not say much and asked with a smile.

"Yuan, as a Body Cultivator, once defeated a Shadowmancer!" When Liu Xiaoxiao said this, she did not hide her pride at all. It was as if the person who defeated the Shadowmancer was her.

"Eh? Is that really the case?"

Qing Chi's hand froze for a moment before he quickly recovered.

His gaze once again fell on Chen Yuan.

"That is quite a surprise. A Body Cultivator who can defeat a Shadowmancer. If that's the case, I might be able to give you some pointers."

"Please enlighten me, Senior!" How could Chen Yuan not react when he heard Qing Chi's words?

How fortunate would it be if a worldly expert who could suppress the Azure Drake and fly across the sky could receive his guidance?

Qing Chi shook his head and waved his hand. "You don't have to be so excited. My guidance is only a pointer. Everyone has their own path. Everyone's path is different. Your future path will ultimately depend on yourself."

"I know. I just don't want to live my life in ignorance!"

"Alright, I see that you have a black sword on your back. How about this, help me get two wooden sticks to light the fire?"
