Chapter 109: The Value of Existence-Transmigrated Into My Own Novel(Blood Transformed into Demon)

“My cultivation is indeed somewhat different from other people’s, though I cannot say exactly how,” Liu Pan replied.

In the book, although the protagonist, Liu Kuang, had encountered Li Feiyang, he had never spoken with him face-to-face as Liu Pan was doing now. Consequently, Liu Pan’s understanding of Li Feiyang was greatly limited. The one thing he could be certain of was that something had gone seriously wrong with Li Feiyang’s cultivation. Unless he encountered some great opportunity, he would never advance any further in this lifetime.

Ultimately, much of the oppression in Li Feiyang’s heart stemmed from the stagnation of his cultivation.

And precisely because he was certain of this, Liu Pan knew very well that if he claimed his cultivation was no different from that of ordinary people, he might well meet the same fate as Wang Dadao and vanish from this world completely.

In the end, it all came down to value. In the eyes of someone as powerful as Li Feiyang, whether something without value existed or not made no difference.

“Be more specific.” A flicker passed through Li Feiyang’s eyes, and as he spoke, he leaned forward slightly.

Li Feiyang was a Martial Emperor and the second-most powerful person in the Southern Commandery. There was a reason such a formidable expert had not gone to the Central Province but instead remained in the Southern Commandery.

In truth, it was not that Li Feiyang had chosen not to go to the Central Province. He had come to the Southern Commandery from there in the first place.

As for the exact reason, it could not be explained in just a few words. Put simply, Li Feiyang had been deemed worthless by his family and then cast away to the Southern Commandery.

Although Liu Pan did not know how deeply Li Feiyang’s heart had been suppressed, he knew the underlying circumstances. Thus, he could make some guesses about Li Feiyang’s motives and thoughts.

“More specifically…” After thinking for a moment, Liu Pan said, “Senior, do you remember that when you tested my aptitude and spiritual root earlier, it was determined to be a mid-grade ice-element spiritual root?”

“I remember.” Li Feiyang nodded. In truth, he had always found Liu Pan’s mid-grade spiritual root rather strange. When he had brought Liu Pan back to the inn earlier, he had already examined Liu Pan’s bone age. He was not yet an adult by only a little.

A cultivator of such an age who had reached the Martial Master Realm could not possibly have poor aptitude. Yet Liu Pan’s spiritual-root aptitude was merely mid-grade.

Among the eight great families of the Central Province, it was not impossible for a cultivator with a mid-grade spiritual root to break through to the Martial Master Realm before adulthood.

However, in this age of scarce cultivation resources, even the eight great families of the Central Province would never deliberately waste resources on a disciple with a mid-grade spiritual root. Therefore, after testing Liu Pan’s spiritual root, Li Feiyang had truly found the matter perplexing.

“Although I possess only a mid-grade spiritual root, for some reason, my cultivation speed is abnormally fast,” Liu Pan said. “When Wang Dadao revealed the secret concerning Liu Kuang and me earlier, he also mentioned that my cultivation had been only at the first level of the Martial Disciple Realm when I left Baiyang Sect. In fact, it has been less than a year since I left Baiyang Sect. Can you imagine a cultivator with a mid-grade spiritual root, who was merely a first-level Martial Disciple, breaking through to the Martial Master Realm in less than a year?”

A strange light flickered in Li Feiyang’s eyes. For a cultivator with a mid-grade spiritual root to rise from the first level of the Martial Disciple Realm to the first level of the Martial Master Realm in a single year was not impossible if one had recklessly poured vast amounts of resources into them. But doing so would inevitably leave the cultivator’s foundation unstable and their primordial energy weak and impure.

Yet the aura radiating from Liu Pan at this moment clearly indicated that his foundation was exceptionally solid, and there was not the slightest trace of instability in the primordial energy within his body. How could Li Feiyang not find this strange?

Seeing Li Feiyang fall silent, Liu Pan’s eyes flickered slightly before he continued, “Actually, apart from my ridiculously fast cultivation speed, I have also discovered some other problems. My body…”

Liu Pan truly did not want to tell anyone else about the abnormalities that had appeared in his body. Yet, facing Li Feiyang now, he felt that he had to reveal at least part of them.

After all, what Li Feiyang truly wanted was an “opportunity.” Merely mentioning his cultivation speed would be completely useless to Li Feiyang, and Liu Pan could hardly guarantee that the man would not suddenly decide he had no value worth keeping alive.

Liu Pan genuinely did not want to follow in Wang Dadao’s footsteps.

Seeing that his words had captured Li Feiyang’s attention, Liu Pan did not pause. He went straight on. “At the beginning, my cultivation was no different from that of ordinary people. In fact, I was stuck at the sixth level of the Martial Warrior Realm for quite a long time. Later, for certain reasons, I was used by someone and poisoned. After barely escaping with my life, my cultivation speed suddenly increased dramatically. It was not long after that that I gradually sensed that something else had gone wrong with my body.”

“What problem?” Li Feiyang raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly and leaned forward a little farther.

“I cannot describe it precisely either,” Liu Pan said after a moment’s thought. “If Senior permits it, I can cultivate right now and let you examine it personally.”

“Then cultivate now.” Li Feiyang agreed almost without hesitation.

Then, as though he had thought of something, Li Feiyang casually waved his hand. A pale-green meditation cushion appeared before Liu Pan. At the same time, Li Feiyang spoke again. “Cultivate while sitting on this cushion. It will make your cultivation faster.”

The moment the cushion appeared, Liu Pan sensed a mysterious aura. Under its influence, the restlessness in his heart gradually subsided. Clearly, the cushion was of great assistance in calming a cultivator’s mind and focusing their spirit.

Without delay, Liu Pan sat cross-legged upon the cushion.

He closed his eyes at once, and his mind became tranquil. Before long, he began to absorb the primordial energy in the air and cultivate on his own.

At the same time Liu Pan sat upon the cushion, Li Feiyang’s divine sense locked firmly onto him. He truly wanted to know how Liu Pan’s cultivation differed from that of ordinary cultivators.
