Chapter 1841 - 1830: Colored Clothes Battle Armor
"Brother-in-law, you're so clever."Xu Xiaoqing's compliment didn't matter much to Ning Fan; his attention was fully absorbed by the Phoenix Feather.
"Did the Great Elder say anything else?"
"I heard it's supposed to be a Battle Armor."
"Battle Armor?"
Ning Fan pondered, "This looks more like a wedding attire."
"Is that so?"
A hint of joy flashed in Xu Xiaoqing's eyes; when she found the Phoenix Feather in the Celestial Clan's treasury, she instantly liked it.
She dreamed of wearing this dress to marry Ning Fan.
"Who knows. Anyway, that's what the Great Elder said."
"Absorbing flames? Battle Armor?"
Ning Fan contemplated silently, then said, "Can the Phoenix Feather continuously absorb flames?"
"Yes. No matter how you burn it, it won't be damaged."
Ning Fan speculated, "Since the Great Elder said this is a Battle Armor, is it possible that it needs more energy, or else..."
"Brother-in-law, I've tried all that, burned it for three days and nights, and nothing happened except the color becoming more vibrant."
Xu Xiaoqing continued, "And after a while, the color of the Phoenix Feather fades again."
"Really? Could it be that the absorbed flame energy dissipates? Xiaoqing, turn off the lighter."
Ning Fan's pupils contracted as he saw the shimmering feather turn back to its former color.
"Brother-in-law, did you discover anything?"
Ning Fan shook his head.
In his perception, this Phoenix Feather seemed ordinary, unlike other clothes.
But it was precisely this ordinariness that was the most unusual aspect.
Being able to isolate and absorb flames alone qualifies the Phoenix Feather as a legendary treasure.
"The Celestial Clan is just an ordinary hidden family, where did these treasures come from?"
Ning Fan shook his head, no longer thinking about these unanswered questions.
Even the Great Elder couldn't explain it clearly, let alone him as an outsider.
"Xiaoqing, be careful to store the Clan Leader's crown and the Phoenix Feather attire, and don't show them off like treasures. Understand?"
"Don't worry, brother-in-law. I'll only show you."
Xu Xiaoqing still fantasized about wearing the Phoenix Feather and crown to marry Ning Fan.
"Put them away."
After thinking for a moment, Ning Fan still said, "If possible, keep them at the Celestial Clan's place."
Although the security here isn't bad, if a thief snatches these treasures, it would be a great loss.
After all, the villa usually doesn't have many people.
"I don't want to."
Seeing Xu Xiaoqing's immediate refusal, Ning Fan didn't insist, as the probability of a thief breaking in was too low.
Not long after, Xu Xiaoqing, now dressed in fashion, hugged Ning Fan's waist, and gently said, "Brother-in-law, should we tell sister about today's events?"
"What events?"
As soon as he asked, Ning Fan realized and pondered, "Not yet."
Xu Xiaoqing worried, "But isn't that deceiving sister?"
Every time she thought that she might not be a normal human, Xu Xiaoqing felt a heavy weight in her heart.
"Let's wait for a while."
Xu Xiaoqing was puzzled, "Why?"
"I plan to have Ruolan cultivate first, and once she understands some cultivation matters, she'll be mentally prepared; then it won't be too late for you to talk."
"Really?"
Joy flashed in Xu Xiaoqing's eyes, then dimmed, "But sister has passed the age for cultivation, and she's so busy, it's not gonna be easy."
Ning Fan was surprised, "How do you know that?"
"The Great Elder told me."
Xu Xiaoqing then revealed something to Ning Fan that he didn't know.
After obtaining the Clan Leader's crown and receiving the inheritance, Xu Xiaoqing thought of Xu Ruolan.
Xu Xiaoqing had Xu Ruolan wear the Clan Leader's crown, and she helped her with Qi Infusion, teaching her the Phoenix Sky-Burning Decree's mnemonic verse.
But it was to no avail; Xu Xiaoqing asked the Great Elder and learned,
that the Phoenix Sky-Burning Decree, and the Clan Leader's crown, could only be used and cultivated by those with the Phoenix Bloodline.
Xu Xiaoqing lamented, "If only I'd made it to the fourth level."
"Why?"
"The Great Elder said, if I reach the fourth level, I can open the Heaven Earth Bridge and improve sister's physique with Spiritual Energy."
"Heaven Earth Bridge! Spiritual Energy!"
Ning Fan suddenly remembered something, "The Great Elder actually knows about Spiritual Energy! Is the Heaven Earth Bridge referring to the Path of Celestial?"
Only cultivators who enter the Primordial Spirit Realm via the Path of Celestial are qualified to use Spiritual Power.
"By the way, brother-in-law, what does Spiritual Energy mean? Aren't we cultivating True Qi?"
After roughly explaining matters regarding Spiritual Energy, Ning Fan advised, "Practice with a balance of effort and rest; don't just charge ahead mindlessly, just keep at it regularly."
Xu Xiaoqing anxiously asked, "But what about sister? The Great Elder said our lifespan far exceeds ordinary people, I don't want to be separated from sister."
"Just having that thought is good enough."
A hint of admiration flashed in Ning Fan's eyes, then he said, "Don't listen to the Great Elder; I'll handle Ruolan's matter."
Knowing the Great Elder, Ning Fan was certain that this old fox was using this matter to spur Xu Xiaoqing into cultivation.
Although Ning Fan urged Xu Xiaoqing to practice, it wasn't because he wanted her to grow as powerful as possible, but rather because he wanted her to develop a good habit of consistency.
This was fundamentally different from the Great Elder's prodding.
Ning Fan himself couldn't bear seclusion and suffering cultivation, let alone Xu Xiaoqing, still a young girl.
Ning Fan didn't want Xu Xiaoqing to become a cultivation fanatic.
Xu Xiaoqing exclaimed happily, "I knew it! With brother-in-law on the case, everything will be fine."
"Leave it to me."
A hint of determination appeared in Ning Fan's eyes; everything was in place except for the final push needed.
As long as he could refine some Spiritual Power, he could use Pill Fire for Alchemy.
During the evening banquet, Ning Fan raised his glass, saying, "Dad, thank you for all your hard work lately."
"Not hard at all,"
Xu Chengyuan shook his head, then picked up a drumstick, smiling, "Come, Nannan, have some food."
Nannan smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle."
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the old and the young, Ning Fan finally felt relieved.
He had been somewhat worried about how Xu Chengyuan would get along with Nannan.
Now it seemed, Old Xu truly adored Nannan as if she were his own daughter.
As for Nannan...
"Too impatient. Couldn't she wait for my return? Forgotten the taste of the Soul Lock Chain?"
Ning Fan shook his head.
Nannan, who could sense human emotions, naturally detected Xu Chengyuan's sincere affection, thus enduring the burning of the Soul Lock Chain to cast a Soul Calming Spell on the old man.
If Ning Fan knew the Soul Lock Chain had already become ineffective, he wouldn't know what to think.
At the moment, Ning Fan was still considering asking Nannan after dinner if she needed "feeding."
After all, wasting his Soul Power was still a waste.
The family shared laughs and conversation around the dinner table, enjoying a pleasant evening together.
