On the second day of the wedding, Li Wu and Xiao Liu served Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi tea, and then left under Tan Eyu’s escort. The villa suddenly became deserted again. Cheng Qi stood on the top of the courtyard wall, watching the direction Xiao Liu and Li Wu were leaving and silently said goodbye to Xiao Liu in his heart.

Li Tianyan suddenly appeared behind Cheng Qi and handed him the item in his hand. “Here, my gift to you.”

“Young master, where did this whip come from?” Cheng Qi fell in love with the dark red whip in Li Tianyan’s hand at first glance. He could feel the abundant spiritual power in the whip. This was undoubtedly a high-grade spiritual weapon, but Cheng Qi had never seen it before.

“It’s made from the tendons of snake dragon.” Li Tianyan was relieved when he saw the smile on Cheng Qi’s face.

“Snake dragon? Is the young master talking about the snake demon?” Cheng Qi asked curiously.

“Yes, I found that dragon tendons had grown in the body of the snake demon. They can be used to make long whips. If we encounter better materials in the future, the level of the whip should be able to be improved.” Li Tianyan thought about the level of Cheng Qi’s dagger was no longer sufficient and believed that a long whip would suit him quite well.

Cheng Qi looked at the long whip in his hand and blinked. The young master had actually taken out the tendons of the snake demon and made a whip for him. The more Cheng Qi thought about it, the wider the corners of his mouth became.

“Do you like it?” Li Tianyan saw that Cheng Qi had been silent for a long time and asked, feeling a little nervous.

“I like it, I like it very much. I like it so much. The young master is so awesome; he can do everything.” Cheng Qi grabbed the whip, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed slightly.

When Li Tianyan heard Cheng Qi’s praise, he smiled in relief, but didn’t forget to remind him, “Be careful, don’t hurt your own hand. Do you know how to use a whip?”

After Li Tianyan said this, Cheng Qi discovered the hidden secret on the whip. There were countless small barbs, and the lethality could be imagined. Cheng Qi eagerly said to Li Tianyan, “No, young master, please teach me.”

Seeing Cheng Qi’s anxious look, Li Tianyan laughed and stood behind Cheng Qi, holding his whip. He swung his right hand a few times. After Cheng Qi got used to it, he used a little more force and swung the long whip to hit the tree trunk not far away. There was a sharp “snap” sound, and the whip penetrated seven points into the wood, nearly splitting the thick tree trunk.

Cheng Qi couldn’t help but open his mouth in surprise at the destructive power of the whip. Li Tianyan did not stop. He pulled the whip around them and then swung it out again. This time, the whip flew like a flexible snake among the tree crowns without touching the dense branches.

Under Li Tianyan’s control, the long whip was sometimes light and agile, and sometimes wielded with astonishing lethality. The light in Cheng Qi’s eyes became more and more intense.

“This whip is good. It’s just like a treasure obtained from the Yunpeng Secret Realm,” Cheng Qi commented as he watched Li Tianyan demonstrate the whip.

As Cheng Qi was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard a sound in the distance, and then saw the figures of several cultivators approaching. Cheng Qi frowned at the sight of Tianfan Immortal Sect disciples arriving on swords. He couldn’t help but feel frustrated that these people didn’t have the decency to recognize that the young master was still teaching him how to practice with the whip.

As Tianfan Immortal Sect disciples came closer, Cheng Qi recognized an old acquaintance among them. The same cultivator who had tried to intercept and kill them on their journey a few years ago was now among them. However, three years later, the man remained at the eighth level of Qi Condensation.

Cheng Qi turned to Li Tianyan and said, “Young master, the conditions in Tianfan Immortal Sect don’t seem to be very good. That man hasn’t made any progress in three years.”

They had been living in the secular world with thin spiritual energy for the past three years, and relied on using spiritual beads and spiritual stones to cultivate but still advanced several levels in a row. But Tianfan Immortal Sect disciple hadn’t changed at all.

“It can’t be entirely blamed on the poor conditions of Tianfan Immortal Sect. Some people have poor foundations. Reaching the eighth level of Qi Condensation is already quite an accomplishment. Going higher will be as difficult as climbing a mountain.” Li Tianyan shook his head and explained.

The strongest among the group in front of them was at the ninth level of Qi Condensation. Neither Li Tianyan nor Cheng Qi took them seriously, and they spoke without any intention of hiding from them.

Huang Yu saw Cheng Qi, who was at the fourth level before, now at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, was full of jealousy. Hearing the conversation between the two further angered him.

If Lin Hong hadn’t ruined his plans, he might not have missed the opportunity and wouldn’t be injured by the Sky Thunder Bead, which delayed his cultivation.

The leading cultivator also noticed the significant change in the cultivation of the two people. He scrutinized them. It was said that Li Tianyan was merely a miscellaneous spiritual root and had been rejected by the elders of the outer sect. How could he have been promoted so quickly? It must have something to do with the Yunpeng Secret Realm treasure.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhengqing said, “The Yunpeng Secret Realm is under the jurisdiction of our Immortal Sect. You took the treasure and didn’t hand over part of it to Tianfan Immortal Sect. Instead, you two have refused to comply. Li Tianyan, you impersonated as the disciples of our elder, committing fraud. Today I am here to arrest you and bring you back to Tianfan Immortal Sect for trial.”

“The Yunpeng Secret Realm has been open for hundreds of years. If there is any treasure, it would have been taken long ago. Anyway, there is no treasure that I know of, but you Tianfan Immortal Sect disciples broke into my villa without permission and took the Spirit Gathering Formation. I wonder how Tianfan Immortal Sect punishes disciples who engage in such thievery.” Li Tianyan crossed his arms and looked at the group.

Li Tianyan had discovered that the strange smell remaining in the small courtyard matched the scent of the ninth-level qi-condensation cultivator who had spoken earlier. He suspected this person had lived in the small courtyard for some time and then decided to take away the spirit gathering formation.

As expected, the cultivator’s expression turned slightly unnatural upon hearing this, then he responded angrily, “You can’t accuse Tianfan Immortal Sect disciples without evidence; otherwise, your punishment will be harsher.”

At this point, the only low-level cultivator among the group spoke up, “Third brother, these are senior brothers from the inner sect of Tianfan Immortal Sect. You must not be rude. Come back to Tianfan Immortal Sect with us first, and I will intercede for you later.”

When Li Tiancheng saw the two of them, he couldn’t believe the man in the green robe was Li Tianyan. In his memory, this third brother should have been weak and incompetent.

What shocked him even more was that he couldn’t gauge the cultivation levels of the two, but the power they displayed while practicing with the whip earlier suggested they were at least at the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

Upon hearing the sound, Li Tianyan finally noticed that Li Tiancheng was standing on the spiritual sword of a seventh-level cultivator. Initially, he had thought this low-level cultivator was just a junior here to gain experience.
