Chapter 138: The Great Decision Spirit-Breaking Finger

Despite saying she was afraid the entrance would vanish, leaving them helpless, Xiu Qingcheng still dragged Meng Yingxing to stay in the Reverse Lan Ke Realm for several days.

During this time, they lived right next to the wooden cabin Old Bai had built for himself.

Meng Yingxing had a tent in his Universe Bag, which came in handy right at this moment.

For these few days, Xiu Qingcheng stayed in the tent with Meng Yingxing.

Of course, saying “the two of them” stayed in the tent actually meant that only Xiu Qingcheng spent her days lying around inside.

She was either eating spirit fruits that could be found everywhere or munching on snacks Meng Yingxing had prepared.

Compared to Xiu Qingcheng, who seemed lazy by nature, Meng Yingxing was much more diligent and hardworking.

He dared not neglect the exceptionally rich spiritual energy environment of the secret realm.

He absorbed the spiritual energy in the secret realm day and night without rest to cultivate.

If Meng Yingxing’s original cultivation speed was half that of a normal person…

Then now, he could finally cultivate spiritual energy at the speed of a normal person.

Although it was a change from 0.5 to 1, it was still a tremendous improvement.

At this moment, Meng Yingxing was still meditating cross-legged, while Xiu Qingcheng sat face-to-face with Old Bai, looking quite comfortable.

“I win this round.”

Looking at the chessboard before her, scattered with black and white pieces, Xiu Qingcheng placed a black piece down.

With a trace of joy on her face, she announced that she had won this game.

Upon hearing this, Old Bai raised his hand in disbelief.

“Wait a minute? How did you win? Where are five pieces connected in a row?”

He muttered, lowering his head and widening his eyes to carefully inspect the chessboard.

“Here, here, here! Count them yourself, isn’t it five?”

Xiu Qingcheng pointed at five connected black pieces on the board, acting incredibly self-righteous.

Old Bai counted, and it really was five.

He immediately waved his hand, unwilling to accept defeat.

“Hey, I didn’t see that. It doesn’t count, it doesn’t count. Take it back, and I’ll…”

As he spoke, Old Bai tried to take back the black piece Xiu Qingcheng had just played and his own white piece.

Xiu Qingcheng certainly wouldn’t let Old Bai pull such a stunt as retracting a move.

She quickly extended her arm to hover protectively over the chessboard, her beautiful eyes glaring at Old Bai in displeasure.

“Old Bai, you have to accept your loss! You’re already an old man, how can you take back moves like this!”

Seeing Xiu Qingcheng’s tough stance, Old Bai could only resentfully withdraw his hand.

He waved his hand as if he didn’t care at all. “Fine, I’ll let you have this round. I’ll just win it back next time!”

“I’m letting you win, just so people don’t say I’m bullying a little girl.”

Old Bai had a look of indifference on his face; his stubbornness was on par with the sword spirit before him.

Hearing this, Xiu Qingcheng grinned and began clearing the chessboard in front of her.

Originally, Old Bai said it was rare to have company, so he invited Xiu Qingcheng to play Weiqi with him.

After so many years, he was sick of playing against himself with his left and right hands.

However, Xiu Qingcheng said she didn’t know how to play Weiqi.

So she came up with a compromise: playing Gomoku with Old Bai.

The rules were simple and easy to understand, loved by men, women, young, and old alike—truly a divine game that appealed to both high and low tastes!

While Xiu Qingcheng was clearing the board, Old Bai glanced at Meng Yingxing, who was cultivating.

He evaluated, “That disciple of yours… his talent for spiritual cultivation doesn’t seem very high?”

“In such a rich spiritual environment like the Reverse Lan Ke, his cultivation speed is so slow. Is there any difference from normal conditions?”

Hearing someone look down on her disciple, Xiu Qingcheng didn’t stop her movements but immediately spoke up to defend him.

“What do you know? My disciple is an absolute cultivation genius! His constitution is just a bit special.”

Xiu Qingcheng curled her lip so hard she could almost hang an oil bottle on it.

“Oh, I can’t tell,” Old Bai replied perfunctorily.

“I’ve been in the Reverse Lan Ke for so many years. I’m clearly already at the High Stage of the Cluster Star Realm, yet I’m not happy at all.”

“That is only one step away from the Shattered Star Realm, the peak of spiritual cultivation.”

‘This guy is just showing off.’

‘And you, a High Stage Cluster Star cultivator, still couldn’t break out?’

Xiu Qingcheng couldn’t help but mock Old Bai internally.

Old Bai rolled his eyes at Xiu Qingcheng. “Didn’t I lack such high cultivation back then?”

“It took me I don’t know how many years to reach this level of cultivation.”

“Besides, Sword Spirit girl, seeing that fate brought us together, I’ll tell you a secret.”

Old Bai looked around, lowered his body and voice, acting all mysterious.

A secret? Xiu Qingcheng loved hearing secrets the most.

She immediately got interested and leaned in to listen.

“The higher one’s cultivation goes, the more one feels that heaven and earth are vast and endless.”

“The cultivation realms are only categorized up to the Shattered Star Realm. Could it be because the strongest people have only ever reached the Shattered Star Realm?”

“So my secret is… above the Shattered Star Realm, there might be an even more exaggerated realm.”

Old Bai spoke mysteriously for a while, but Xiu Qingcheng just felt he was daydreaming.

Xiu Qingcheng’s face suddenly turned sour. “Instead of having time to fantasize about that, you might as well take out any powerful cultivation techniques you have and teach them to my disciple!”

“Since you can’t get out anyway, we’ll carry on your legacy for you!”

“Hurry up! I don’t believe you don’t have any powerful techniques on you!”

“If you don’t teach him, don’t even think about me passing on a message for you later!”

By the end, Xiu Qingcheng was spreading her hands and looking fiercely at Old Bai; it was practically open robbery involving both threats and inducements.

Xiu Qingcheng activated the skill “Gimme Gimme.” Skill activation successful!

After being scolded by Xiu Qingcheng, Old Bai actually slapped his forehead. “Eh, Sword Spirit girl, you don’t say, you really don’t say! I actually do remember a technique I can teach your disciple. I’ll teach him in a bit.”

“What technique? If it’s something embarrassing like ‘Three Thousand Thunders’ or whatever, don’t bring it out.”

Xiu Qingcheng’s standards were high; she was picky even when others were willing to teach for free.

Old Bai waved his hand in disgust. “What kind of nonsense is that? Never heard of it!”

“I’m telling you, what I’m teaching your disciple is a technique I found in another secret realm.”

“It is called the Great Decision Spirit-Breaking Finger!”

This time it was Xiu Qingcheng’s turn to prop her head up and show disdain. “I’ve never heard of it. Is it very powerful?”

“This Great Decision Spirit-Breaking Finger can immobilize the true body when facing someone weaker than yourself.”

“And when facing someone stronger than yourself, it can stagnate the circulation of spiritual energy in their body for several seconds.”

“You tell me if that works or not! Of course, the lower their strength compared to yours, the better the effect. The higher they are above you, the worse the effect.”

Hearing this, Xiu Qingcheng’s eyes lit up. “Isn’t this just the Sunflower Acupoint Hand!?”

“This technique is good! Oh my, Old Bai, I didn’t expect you to know this move?”

“I admit I was speaking a bit too loudly just now. Be merciful later and teach Meng Yingxing.”

In front of people she knew, Xiu Qingcheng wasn’t as cold and tough as she was with outsiders.

Right now, Xiu Qingcheng was a ‘manly man’ who knew when to bend and when to stretch!

After a while, Meng Yingxing’s cultivation was interrupted by Xiu Qingcheng.

He looked up and saw Xiu Qingcheng stepping aside to reveal Old Bai’s chubby figure.

Old Bai gave a sly grin and reached out toward Meng Yingxing, preparing to teach him that Great Decision Spirit-Breaking Finger personally.

Xiu Qingcheng nodded with satisfaction.

Who said there were no fortuitous encounters in this rotten Lan Ke Realm?

Look at this now, isn’t there a Cluster Star Realm super expert like Old Bai teaching Meng Yingxing a powerful technique?

It was just that no one treated this as a fortuitous encounter before!

All fortuitous encounters do not know they are fortuitous encounters before they become fortuitous encounters.
