Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King-Chapter 407 - 289: Spear Technique Displayed, Haunting Aura, Astonishing Talent, Stunned Liu Qing!
"But he is of humble origins, which is a significant disadvantage. If the Broken Demon Spear happens to resonate with him, otherwise, his true nature will be revealed. Would that not hinder my plans?"
She pondered continuously.
Shi Yufei watched in silence, knowing that Li Xian was experiencing a great opportunity. If granted favor, he could soar to great heights. Coming from a grassroots background, he had fought his way for decades, gradually understanding the truths of the world, thus climbing upwards.
At this moment, he was willing to assist Li Xian.
He said, "The Broken Demon Spear is a flawed replica of the Demon Ghost Spear. Hua Wucuo... since you have a connection with the Broken Demon Spear, you must also have a connection with the Demon Ghost Spear. Your future achievements are limitless!"
Li Xian replied, "Thank you for the compliment, General Envoy." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Shi Yufei said, "Hahaha, just speaking the truth." Yan Hao nodded with a smile.
Chu Liu Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, knowing these words were meant for her. She nodded silently, although feeling regret, but considering the "Demon Ghost Spear," she could indeed grant him the "Candle Order."
Chu Liu Qing’s attitude softened and she said, "Come see me here again in three days."
Li Xian was puzzled but had to agree. Chu Liu Qing, Shi Yufei, and Yan Hao continued their conversation, and Li Xian took his leave first, returning to the Cyan Ox Residence, temporarily breathing a sigh of relief.
Nangong Liuli rushed to ask about the situation. Li Xian truthfully recounted it, and Nangong Liuli said, "Oh! Wucuo... are you perhaps... about to join the Candle Sect?"
Li Xian said, "Candle Sect? I also feel that woman is greatly connected to the Candle Sect. But it’s all so mysterious."
Nangong Liuli said, "The Candle Sect... was once a [forbidden Demon Sect], with each person inside being a great devil. The Candle Sect is fiercer than the Flower Cage Sect, but... this is beyond our control."
Li Xian sighed, "We’ll take things as they come."
Having achieved what he sought, Li Xian relaxed and took half a day off, spending half the day with Nangong Liuli. The two became increasingly familiar, but Nangong Liuli was inevitably shy in all collaborative matters.
The next day...
Li Xian visited the Inner Island again, to see Yan Hao. Yan Hao was very kind, knowing Li Xian came to learn. The bet was over, and Yan Hao kept his promise, having prepared two books, titled "Theories of Singular Escape" and "Basics of the Five Elements." Both were foundational theories, but with annotations and notes written extensively, not available elsewhere.
Yan Hao said, "The Five Elements and Singular Escape involve a lot. You can practice martial arts with just some physical movement, but the Five Elements and Singular Escape are different; you need to learn a lot, and the basics should be solid. If you find it time-consuming and want to give up midway, that’s fine. Your future is limitless, make sure to seize it, and you can leap like a carp over the dragon’s gate. If you’re interested and willing to spend the time studying, if there’s anything unclear, feel free to ask me."
Li Xian was genuinely confused about the "limitless future" comment. But having obtained "Basics of the Five Elements" and "Theories of Singular Escape," he hurried back to Cyan Ox Residence to study.
Nangong Liuli was quite knowledgeable, and her family had similar scripts. But she had never studied them. Li Xian didn’t keep things to himself and studied together with Nangong Liuli, pooling their insights.
When encountering difficulties, they discussed them with each other. They each shared their thoughts, summarized their conclusions, documented them in the books, and then Li Xian would ask Yan Hao questions.
That night, they discussed by candlelight. They gained much from reading on the Five Elements. Li Xian began to understand the layout of the Five Elements and the unique uses of Singular Escape, feeling its vastness and profundity, becoming captivated by it.

In no time, it was the third day.
