Seeing Xia Xue's disappointed expression, Shen Zhi Qiu smiled and said with amusement, "Although I can't teach you the Wind Control Technique and the Invisibility Technique, I can teach you their prerequisite spells, the Lightness Technique and the Disguise Technique."
The two landed on the observation deck of the mountaintop villa like falling feathers.
Xia Xue asked curiously, "Lightness Technique, I know that. Is this camouflage technique the same as the camouflage coloration in nature? Like, the chameleon's camouflage."
Shen Zhi Qiu nodded.
"It's exactly the camouflage color you understand it to be."
Xia Xue said thoughtfully, "In other words, as long as you learn the disguise technique, you will have a camouflage color that blends into the surrounding environment. As long as you don't observe carefully, you can use it as an invisibility technique."
In addition, there's the secret technique of the Thousand Faces.
This disguise technique is even more effective.
It's a pity we can't reveal her true level of skill; otherwise, her Wind Control and Invisibility techniques would be truly amazing.
However, Xia Xue was not greedy.
"After all, it was free, so this is already a pretty good result."
Shen Zhi Qiu led Xia Xue into the living room.
The style is very retro.
It gives you the illusion of entering an ancient building.
Shen Zhi Qiu invited Xia Xue to sit down at a coffee table in front of the French windows and began to pour tea for her.
Clearly, the tea had already been brewed and was just waiting for Xia Xue to come over so it could be poured for her.
Xia Xue took a light sniff, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"It smells so good."
Most importantly, there was a surge of spiritual energy within it.
Xia Xue took a small sip, her eyes lighting up.
"Mmm, it tastes good."
Shen Zhi Qiu took a small sip, savored it for a moment, and said with a smile, "Of course it's delicious. This is spiritual tea. I only get three ounces a year. I wouldn't share it with just any important guest."
It's clear that Shen Zhi Qiu is a tea lover.
The act of inviting this person to drink spiritual tea demonstrates Shen Zhi Qiu's approval of him.
Xia Xue took another small sip, like a fox who had stolen a chicken, and said with a smile, "Then I'll come to visit my uncle often in the future."
Shen Zhi Qiu nodded in satisfaction at first, then realized what was happening, made a protective gesture towards the food, and looked at Xia Xue warily, saying, "There won't be any more next time."
Xia Xue wrinkled her nose and muttered something under her breath while drinking tea.
"mean."
Although it was a soft whisper, how could Shen Zhi Qiu, with his cultivation level, not hear it?
A hint of helplessness appeared in Shen Zhi Qiu's eyes as he said reluctantly, "I only have this little bit of spiritual tea, not even enough for myself. Never mind, I'll treat you to it every time you come. I just won't drink it on other days."
Xia Xue immediately smiled and said, "I knew my uncle was the best to me."
Shen Zhi Qiu then laughed heartily, "Of course, if your uncle doesn't treat you well, who else would he treat well?"
In this generation, the Shen family bloodline, including Xia Xue, has only produced three Xuan cultivators.
Shouldn't we cherish it?
"I heard that the Netherfire attacked you again?"
Xia Xue nodded casually as she sipped her tea.
"It's been resolved."
Shen Zhi Qiu's anger did not dissipate.
"Hmph, I clearly warned them, yet they still dared to attack. Heh, they have some nerve."
This is a direct slap in the face to the Shen family.
Xia Xue, on the contrary, offered a couple of words of defense for Minghuo.
"They may have been sent out before you even warned them."
Shen Zhi Qiu had no doubt about this, and his anger remained unabated.
"If you want to stop this, there are plenty of ways. I think Minghuo doesn't take our Shen family seriously at all."
A glint of light flashed in Shen Zhi Qiu's eyes as he said, "It seems that our Shen family has been dormant for too long, and some people have forgotten how terrifying our Shen family is."
Xia Xue blinked and asked curiously, "Is our Shen family very powerful?"
Shen Zhi Qiu stroked his beard and smiled, "Our Shen family is most famous for the Yellow Millet Dream, but besides that, we also have many other profound and secret techniques, especially in the art of deduction. Our Shen family has the most collection and the strongest mastery of it. Xia Xue, don't underestimate the art of deduction. Although its combat power is not strong, its power is extremely strong, especially when it comes to power struggles."
Xia Xue, who possessed the ability to trace origins, naturally understood this perfectly.
If it weren't for the technique of tracing the source, how could Xia Xue have eradicated all of Netherfire's forces in Jiangcheng so quickly?
If it weren't for obtaining the Crimson Lotus Space this time, Xia Xue could have used the information she gleaned from the eleven people who attacked her using the Source Tracing Technique to carry out another cleansing.
Little by little, she removed all the forces of the Netherfire that were exposed to her.
With the Crimson Lotus Space, Xia Xue no longer looks down on these small fry.
Shen Zhi Qiu comforted Xia Xue, saying, "Don't worry, I will use the power of the Shen family to cause some trouble for Ming Huo, so that they won't have time to pay attention to you."
It turned out that Shen Zhi Qiu had come to comfort her because he had heard about Ming Huo's attempt to assassinate her.
Xia Xue belatedly expressed her gratitude, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle."
Although Xia Xue didn't expect the Shen family to help her solve the problem of the Netherfire, and preferred to solve it herself, she appreciated their kindness.
Returning the favor, Xia Xue pondered for a moment and reminded Shen Zhi Qiu, "I think the feng shui of Jingyuan is a bit strange. It should clearly be centered around Jinghu Lake and Mingshan Mountain, one yang and one yin, one movement and one stillness, one mountain and one water, but there are three cores."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi Qiu's expression changed.
"You're also skilled in Feng Shui?"
Xia Xue lowered her head, sipped her tea, and nodded slightly.
Shen Zhi Qiu assumed this was Xia Xue's sect's inheritance and didn't ask any further questions. He simply stroked his beard with his right hand and made calculations with his left. After a while, his expression grew increasingly grim. He stopped calculating and let out a cold snort.
"As expected, the Xie family tampered with the feng shui arrangement."
Knowing that Xia Xue was well-versed in feng shui, Shen Zhi Qiu asked directly, "Where is the other core?"
A hint of a smile flashed in Xia Xue's eyes as she replied, "Xiaoyao Residence."
A look of "I knew it" flashed across Shen Zhi Qiu's face.
"I guessed it was there too."
Having received accurate information, Shen Zhi Qiu calculated for a moment, then sneered, "The Xie family has harbored the intention to intercept spiritual energy from the very beginning, and what they intercepted was pure spiritual energy. No wonder when they used the Yellow Millet Dream technique, they consumed nearly twenty years of accumulated spiritual energy, yet the spiritual energy was still insufficient."
Xia Xue asked curiously, "Uncle, what will happen if the Xie family is found out what they're doing?"
Shen Zhi Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, it's an open secret that feng shui masters tamper with feng shui formations to divert some spiritual energy. However, the Xie family has diverted too much this time and gone too far."
Who would have thought that the Xie family, who value their reputation so much, would go to such extremes?
"The most essential part of the spiritual energy collected over the past twenty years has probably been intercepted, otherwise the feng shui formation wouldn't have been activated at the last minute."
They even forcibly absorbed the fortune of the people in Jingyuan.
To supplement.
Shen Zhi Qiu snorted angrily and said, "The Xie family's behavior is too disgusting."
Xia Xue asked curiously, "What does Uncle plan to do?"
