My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 419: Chapter 273: Second Shikigami, Hot Spring Afterglow

”Thank you, Master.”

”Thank you, Godfather.”

Chiba Yuki and her two daughters were extremely grateful to Li Xiang. The two cherubic little girls, one on his left and one on his right, each gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Chiba Yuki hadn’t fully recovered from her injuries, so Li Xiang stood up. ”Get some rest. We can talk about everything else in the morning.”

Now that Asatsuyu and Yukigiri were Tier One Transcendent, they were capable of protecting their mother.

”Master...” Chiba Yuki wanted him to stay, but Li Xiang just waved his hand and gently closed the wooden door on his way out.

He walked around the hot spring inn, using his Earth Superpower to repair the damaged floors.

The Earth Pivot World Record made this work incredibly convenient. Everywhere Li Xiang passed, the damage was restored in minutes. He even used the Rock Armor Technique to reinforce some areas.

The night passed without incident. The next morning, Chiba Yuki was stunned to see the floors restored to their original condition. She naturally knew it was Li Xiang’s handiwork and was deeply moved.

”Thank you, Master.” Chiba Yuki bowed. She wanted to go up and hug Li Xiang but didn’t quite dare to.

”I have some lumber here. You can find someone to repair the floors and the roof.” With a wave of his hand, Li Xiang produced a large quantity of precious wood. It was all pre-processed timber from a lumber mill, ready for immediate use.

”Is this... rosewood? Yellow Flower Pear Wood? Oh, my heavens... is that golden teak?” Chiba Yuki knew her materials. After just a brief glance, she covered her mouth in astonishment. ”Master, this is far too precious.”

”It’s nothing,” Li Xiang said with a wave.

He had no idea how much lumber was in his system’s warehouse. The warehouse was now seven times its original size and could hold even more supplies. To call this a drop in the bucket would be an understatement.

Chiba Yuki accepted it with peace of mind. It was a gift from her Master. Besides, no matter how precious the wood was, it was still a mundane item. How could it compare to the value of Spiritual Medicine and Breathing Techniques?

Chiba Yuki made a call and had a familiar construction company come over to help repair the building.

When she finished her business and returned to the room, she saw Li Xiang playing with her two daughters.

”Mama, Godfather gave us lots of yummy Spirit Fruits again.” Chiba Asatsuyu and Chiba Yukigiri were nestled against Li Xiang on either side, happily munching away.

Li Xiang beckoned for Chiba Yuki to come and sit down. He then began to guide them in their training, answering some of the questions they had encountered during their Cultivation.

Li Xiang’s Realm was high, and he often exchanged ideas with cultivation geniuses like Luo Feifei, so guiding these three novices was a simple matter.

Chiba Yuki mentioned that because Aoi Monshou was a Buddhist nun, she had recently started studying some Buddhist scriptures. While healing last night, she had a new insight: perhaps Aoi Monshou hadn’t vanished completely but had simply gone dormant. Maybe, one day, she could return.

Since Aoi Monshou was fond of Buddhist scriptures, if she actively studied this knowledge, she might be able to awaken her sooner.

Li Xiang pondered for a moment before recommending several widely known Buddhist scriptures from China, such as the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, the Infinite Life Sutra, the Sutra of Ksitigarbha, and the Mahavairocana Sutra.

These scriptures were all available online. Chiba Yuki quickly searched for and downloaded them.

However, the scriptures were quite profound. Although she understood Chinese, her proficiency was naturally no match for Li Xiang’s. Therefore, she bowed and asked if Li Xiang could stay for a few more days to guide her in chanting them.

Li Xiang: ”...” He reluctantly agreed and began to explain the meaning of some of the scriptures to her.

Fortunately, he was fast, and the trip home only took an hour. So, he would sneak over late every night to Chiba Yuki’s bedroom to teach her how to chant the Buddhist scriptures.

However, Li Xiang never stayed for long, leaving in a hurry after just an hour or two.

Because having such a beautiful young woman chant scriptures... even the Buddha wouldn’t be able to take it. Li Xiang felt that if he stayed too long, he might make a ”mistake.”
