Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1109

"Good morning, Miss Xu, Senior." Yuan bowed to them in a respectful manner when they got close enough.

"We've kept you waiting." Xu Jiaqi nodded her head in acknowledgment.

"There's still a few days before the agreed date." Yuan smiled.

He turned to look at Lady Xiang whom he was unfamiliar with, but he didn't want to be noosy, so he didn't ask for her identity.

'She seems a bit dazed for some reason.' He thought to himself.

Xu Jiaqi also noticed this, so she decided to introduce Lady Xiang instead.

"This is Lady Xiang from the Divine Essence Monastery. You probably haven't heard of this place since they only exist in the upper heavens, but they're one of the top 10 powers in the Nine Heavens. As for her reason for being here—"

"I am here to teach you my soul cultivation technique." Lady Xiang suddenly spoke, interrupting Xu Jiaqi.

"My apologies for the late introduction. I had something on my mind just now. I am Xiang Biyu, the current Holy Maiden of the Divine Essence Monastery. You may address me as Sister Biyu."

Senior Bai and Xu Jiaqi looked at Lady Xiang with raised eyebrows. Why would Lady Xiang allow Yuan to address her with such familiarity despite this being their first meeting?

Lady Xiang continued without pausing, "In my possession is what I believe to be the strongest soul cultivation technique in the Nine Heavens, so Lady Xu went to the right person if that's what she— you are looking for."

"Tell me, why are you seeking such a powerful technique when you're just a mere Spirit King? Did you not stop to think that you might be biting more than you can chew?"

Yuan smiled and said, "I was just looking for a suitable soul cultivation technique. It was Miss Xu who offered to find me the best one she could find. There's no way I could refuse such an offer. As for whether or not I can chew it… I guess we will find out once I bite into it."

Lady Xiang glanced at Xu Jiaqi for a second but didn't say anything.

"Fortunately for you, unlike most soul cultivation techniques out there, my soul cultivation technique doesn't discriminate against one's cultivation, so anyone can learn it as long as they qualify. However, that is easier said than done, as there have only been three people since ancient time that have managed to learn this soul cultivation technique."

"Only three people…?" Yuan was surprised to hear this, but he was also excited. After all, the harder it was to learn something, that something is usually more unique and powerful.

"If you do not have what it takes to learn this soul cultivation technique, there is nothing I could do for you. It just means you are not fated to learn it." Lady Xiang said a moment later.

She turned to look at Lady Xu and continued, "As I have mentioned before coming here, if he doesn't learn it, don't expect any compensation, as this was part of our deal."

"I am well aware." Xu Jiaqi nodded.

Lady Xiang returned to Yuan and smiled, "She destroyed an entire faction just to get you this chance, young man. Try not to waste it— even if you don't really have a choice."

"You did what?" Yuan looked at Xu Jiaqi with wide eyes.

"Don't misunderstand. Even though it was part of the agreement, the Celestial Overlords have a duty to deal with any Demon Worshippers, so I would've dealt with them the moment I learned that they were Demon Worshippers even if it wasn't part of the agreement."

"Whatever you say, Lady Xu."
