Chapter 576: Traveling Together
"Xu Fu! Look at that bird!"
"Xu Fu! Come and see this flower!"
"Xu Fu! This stone is really interesting!"
"Xu Fu..."
Along the way, Li Wuji was like a fledgling bird, chirping incessantly.
Xu Fu was also unconsciously influenced by her, temporarily putting aside his troubles and focusing on playing with Li Wuji.
In fact, the path they took was very ordinary, no different from the millions of other paths in the world. But Li Wuji could always find something that pleased her. A flower, a stone, a bird, or a beast would inexplicably excite her.
The two were traveling at a slower pace than Xu Fu had imagined. After walking for most of the day, they hadn't seen a single city or even a village. With the sun already setting, Li Wuji was still going strong. Suddenly, Xu Fu had an idea.
"Senior sister, would you like to learn a martial arts technique?"
Xu Fu made this suggestion with several intentions, the most important of which was to enable Li Wuji to protect himself. After all, he could not predict what would happen in the future, and he could not guarantee that he could protect Li Wuji at all times.
Secondly, Xu Fu thought that as long as Li Wuji focused on learning the martial arts, they would at least be able to travel faster than they were now.
In addition, Xu Fu was also very curious whether Li Wuji's body, which was made of the Immaculate Lotus, could actually cultivate martial arts.
"I want to learn! Do you have any powerful techniques you can teach me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wuji was indeed tempted and immediately moved closer.
"Of course! Listen carefully..."
Xu Fu taught Li Wuji the "Heavenly Secret" almost without hesitation.
"Is this Grandpa's?"
After hearing only two sentences, Li Wuji immediately figured out the origin of this technique.
"Have you studied this?"
Xu Fu was startled at first, then cursed himself for being stupid. Li Wuji was his master's precious granddaughter. How could his master possibly keep anything from her?
“Grandpa wanted to teach me, but I was too weak to practice at that time.”
At this point, Li Wuji seemed to suddenly remember something and grabbed Xu Fu's arm.
"If I master it, will I scare Grandpa when I see him?"
Seeing Li Wuji's joyful expression, Xu Fu really couldn't bear to tell him the truth about Li Danxin.
"Wait a minute!"
Xu Fu decided to focus on teaching Li Wuji the "Heavenly Secret" first, and deal with the rest in a few days.
Upon hearing Li Wuji recite the first half of the "Heavenly Secret" flawlessly, Xu Fu was immediately stunned.
It was a cultivation technique that Li Wuji had seen when he was young, but she had never practiced it, yet she still remembered it!
As for how to cultivate, Li Wuji understood it immediately, leaving Xu Fu feeling particularly unfulfilled.
I promised to "teach" them the techniques, but they learned them on their own.
In order not to delay the journey, Li Wuji decided to cultivate while traveling, something that was impossible for Xu Fu, but Li Wuji did it again.
Multitasking!
This was the first time Xu Fu had ever heard of Li Wuji's abilities.
This is truly enviable. Just imagine if the left and right hands could use different moves and techniques at the same time, wouldn't the power be doubled?
So Xu Fu shamelessly asked Li Wuji for advice.
The two practiced as they walked, and although they were much faster than before, they still couldn't find a village or town to stay in by sunset, so they had no choice but to spend the night outdoors.
If it were Xu Fu himself, he wouldn't care; he just didn't want to wrong Li Wuji.
"This is the first time I've ever lived away from home!"
Li Wuji was not as disgusted as Xu Fu had imagined; on the contrary, he was quite pleased.
This made Xu Fu relax a lot, and he quickly started a fire and roasted a piece of sea dragon meat.
After so much time, the sea dragon meat was almost gone, but he was not stingy with Li Wuji at all, and immediately took out a large piece.
Li Wuji was left to tend the fire and roast the meat, while Xu Fu went around the area and brought back a large bundle of tree branches.
"How many days do you plan to stay here?" Li Wuji asked with a smile when he saw Xu Fu bring back so many branches.
"I'm going to build a house!"
After saying this, Xu Fu picked up a tree branch and stuck it in the ground.
The ground wasn't hard, so Xu Fu could easily insert tree branches half a foot deep, just like planting rice seedlings.
Before long, Xu Fu planted a circle of branches of varying heights in the ground.
Using a knife, Xu Fu leveled the branches, then found several thick branches to place on top as a roof. Finally, he covered it with oil paper and many uprooted weeds, and thus a temporary dwelling was built.
"You're amazing!"
Li Wuji was both surprised and delighted. In just a short while, a house had been built!
"It's not over yet!"
Praise from Li Wuji gave Xu Fu even more energy. He first laid a layer of dry grass in the "room" and then took out three quilts from his Qiankun bag.
Lay two layers, then cover with one layer.
Finally, he even pulled out a pillow.
I bought all of these back in Fengcheng. I thought they might be useful when I went out to sea, so I bought them all. I never expected them to come in handy now.
By the time Xu Fu finished his work, the sea dragon meat was almost cooked.
Xu Fu took out the wine he had "borrowed" from Shibu, along with two rather unrefined cups.
Being in the middle of nowhere with nowhere to stay is a very frustrating thing.
But Xu Fu found that with wine, meat, and his senior sister, it seemed like spending the night in this wilderness wouldn't be so bad.
Even the intermittent chirping of insects and birds sounds exceptionally clear and pleasant.
After eating and drinking his fill, Xu Fu got up, tidied up, and briefly checked his surroundings before feeling at ease.
When he returned, he was surprised to find Li Wuji cultivating.
She sat cross-legged by the fire, her eyes closed, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were feeling unwell.
Xu Fu was slightly startled, and when he suddenly saw the half-eaten sea dragon meat next to Li Wuji, cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
He was so focused on roasting some good meat for Li Wuji that he forgot that the sea dragon meat was from a ninth-grade demon beast, while Li Wuji was just a "mortal" without any cultivation. How could he possibly bear it?
Xu Fu, no longer able to blame himself for his negligence, hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Wuji spit out the sea dragon meat.
Before he could even speak, Li Wuji's brows suddenly relaxed and his eyes opened.
"What's wrong?" Li Wuji asked quickly when he saw that Xu Fu's expression was off.
"what happened to you?"
Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Wuji was completely unharmed.
"I felt hot while I was eating, so I did some exercises and I feel much better now."
After saying this, Li Wuji grabbed the sea dragon meat beside him.
"You still dare to eat? Aren't you afraid of getting too hot?"
"I'm not afraid!"
Xu Fu stepped forward to snatch the meat from Li Wuji's hand, but Li Wuji dodged it with a quick movement.
"what?"
This startled both of them.
Li Wuji's sudden burst of speed far exceeded his usual speed.
"what happened?"
Xu Fu was puzzled, as sea dragon meat shouldn't have such effects!
"It's nothing, I think I've broken through."
After sensing the changes in the meridians, Li Wuji casually remarked.
