#778 - Facing the test
Li Chengfeng was about to get up and leave when a Core Formation stage elder arrived, it was Elder Liu Xinxi who had initially guided him into the sect.
She looked at Li Chengfeng with a complex expression, clearly surprised by the increase in his strength after absorbing the two disciples.
Li Chengfeng's strength had already advanced to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, such a rapid advancement was truly astonishing.
Elder Liu Xinxi said, "You are amazing, to actually make two women who cultivate different techniques fall in love with you. I am really curious, what method do you have?"
Li Chengfeng replied with a smile, "I don't know either, everything happens naturally, it's all predetermined."
Elder Liu Xinxi smiled upon hearing this and said, "It seems ordinary disciples are no longer suitable to test you, you have already advanced to the ranks of elite disciples.
Come with me, this time you've arrived just in time for the sect's grand competition, we will be selecting thirteen sect disciples, all of whom are elite-level existences.
They cultivate the Thirteen Steps Technique, and you, as an elite disciple of the Affectionate cultivation method, have the right to enter the Technique Hall to receive the most powerful technique inheritance.
Inside, you will compete, only those disciples who pass the test will be able to become the Holy Maiden's opponent and cultivate with her."
Li Chengfeng asked in a daze, "Sect Holy Maiden, what a noble existence that is.
After we win, can we really cultivate the Dao with the Holy Maiden?"
Elder Liu Xinxi replied with a smile, "Of course.
Not everyone has such an opportunity, the sect has only selected thirteen elite disciples after three years of selection, you must know that our sect has two hundred thousand inner disciples.
Come with me, because right now we are only lacking one elite disciple of the Affectionate cultivation method."
Li Chengfeng nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Elder, for your accomplishment, thank you for your guidance back then. If I am fortunate enough to cultivate with the Holy Maiden and achieve success, I will never forget the Elder's kindness."
Elder Liu Xinxi chuckled, his laughter was as warm as the spring sun, but it also made Li Chengfeng feel somewhat uncomfortable.
People who cultivate the Affectionate cultivation method are most vulnerable to such stimulation, Li Chengfeng immediately felt his bones become uncontrollable and started operating on their own.
Core Formation stage Elder Liu Xinxi looked at Li Chengfeng's appearance and said with a smile, "It seems your composure is still quite good, if it were an ordinary cultivator, they would probably be churning like the sea in front of me, and die from the exhaustion of their yang energy."
Li Chengfeng nodded helplessly and said, "This disciple's meager strength is simply not worth mentioning in front of the Elder.
Thank you, Elder, for your mercy, for not letting me lose my primordial yang and turn into a dried corpse."
This was the other party's Affectionate Technique, a powerful spell that could easily manipulate the minds of others.
This Core Formation stage Elder Liu Xinxi was also an expert in cultivating the Affectionate Technique.
And Li Chengfeng's Affectionate Technique had reached a very high level, even just a look or a subtle movement could cause the other party to lose their minds, and even deplete their pure yang energy, turning them into a shriveled corpse.
Core Formation stage Elder Liu Xinxi looked at Li Chengfeng and once again revealed that warm smile, saying, "Affectionate cultivation method, in fact, I have always been guiding you.
You are a man, although you don't have the natural charm of a woman, you can find your own way and find a cultivation method that suits you."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng immediately replied respectfully, "Please enlighten me, Elder, this disciple is somewhat dull and has not fully understood your meaning."
As he spoke, he took out his storage bag and offered up all the spirit stones he had obtained from the two fairies.
Because he understood that the other party must have said this for these spirit stones.
After all, he had absorbed the power of two partners, and their spirit stones were now quietly lying in his hands.
As expected, Liu Xinxi took the spirit stones and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "In fact, male and female, yin and yang, are all the same.
Who says that a man who cultivates the Affectionate Technique cannot use charming techniques? Although you are a man, you can still handle men with ease.
You can control their minds, such as using the One Night Spring Rain Transformation Technique.
This secret method is the essence of the technique, as long as you learn it, as long as you cast it, you can easily control the minds of others like me."
Li Chengfeng suddenly understood. The One Night Spring Rain Transformation Technique was a very powerful set of techniques in the Affectionate cultivation method, very suitable for men and women to cultivate together.
However, because men usually tend to cultivate attack spells such as Cupid's Arrow, they often overlook the existence of this set of techniques.
Li Chengfeng's Cupid's Arrow had already been cultivated to the Lesser Perfection realm, but he had never set foot in this set of techniques.
After all, he was a man, and in the mortal world of love, his main body was comprehending other techniques, so he had overlooked this point.
Now, after being reminded by Core Formation stage Elder Liu Xinxi, Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet suddenly felt enlightened, as if he had opened a new door.
It turned out that men could also cultivate this charming technique, and once mastered, its power would not be underestimated.
Li Chengfeng said respectfully, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder."
Core Formation stage Elder Liu Xinxi was very satisfied with Li Chengfeng's attitude, feeling that this disciple was very sensible, knowing to show filial piety with spirit stones, and it was not in vain that she had always taken good care of him.
If it weren't for her strength being so strong, perhaps she would have become a dual cultivation partner with him.
Having received the benefits from Li Chengfeng, the elder waved his hand, and suddenly a red mist wrapped around Li Chengfeng's escape light, taking him away quickly, heading straight for the Technique Hall.
The Water Moon Sect's Technique Hall was a super magic hall, with a different world inside, arranged like a super killing array, making people feel intimidated.
At this time, thirteen handsome men had already gathered at the entrance of the hall, each with their own characteristics, some dressed as Confucian scholars, gentle and refined; some with tangled muscles all over their bodies, full of masculinity.
However, they mostly looked at each other unpleasantly, full of hostility, as if everyone was each other's competitor.
Those who brought them were also Core Formation stage elders, both male and female, standing aside, monitoring these elite disciples.
When Elder Liu Xinxi arrived here with Li Chengfeng's elder, she said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, you have been waiting for a long time, this is my elite disciple of the Affectionate cultivation method, his name is Li Yichen."
Suddenly, all eyes fell on Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet.
Li Chengfeng was now only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and compared to these late-stage Foundation Establishment elite disciples, he was obviously one realm weaker.
They immediately glanced at Li Chengfeng with disdain, and then glared at each other again.
In their opinion, this newcomer Li Yichen was just a cannon fodder character, here to make up the numbers.
They guessed that there should be no handsome male cultivators who met the conditions for the Affectionate cultivation method, so they let such a waste come to fill the ranks.
Even if he died inside, it would be considered that the elder had completed the sect's mission.
At this moment, a Nascent Soul stage Grand Elder Pan Lin came out.
He was a man who looked to be in his forties, but he exuded a special aura.
His black robe fluttered in the wind, adding to the sense of mystery.
