The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan was now looking panicky at the five maidens that were around him.

He had never expected for Mu Wan'Er to profess her like for him. In fact, he was thinking. "Oh holy shit, I am dead…"

Why didn't he warn Wan'Er that he was with the other five maidens now…

He smiled weakly as he raised his hands in front of him panicky. "Listen, this isn't what you think. She is only a fan-girl and I have thousands of fan-girls…"

As the five maidens surrounded him, he added panicky. "This isn't what you think it is. I have suddenly remembered that Wan'Er is trapped in a maze trial and I'm just wondering if my advice to her is helpful. I don't want her blood to be on my hands for giving her the wrong piece of advice…"

Ling Feiyue laughed with a playful tease as she interrupted him. "Of course we know…"

Little Princess chuckled as she caressed Ji Yuan's face. "Why are you explaining to us on such a trivial thing?"

Bai Qianfeng was smiling, "My lord, you really have a kind heart."

"I am so glad to see that you're here…" Shui Xisi said shyly as she flushed.

Feng Minyue shyly averted her eyes. "It's good to see you again. But what is going on? How come we are in the same place again?"

Ji Yuan had suddenly remembered that he had lied to Feng Minyue that they may have found a secret trial and he did not exactly tell her the whole truth about Xiang Li…

However at this moment the five maidens were all looking with teasing and bashful eyes at Ji Yuan.

When Ji Yuan saw that they were not upset at him, he began to chuckle. "Haha. So what are your rewards for the trial?"

"And what are your rewards for your trial then?" Ling Feiyue and Shui Xisi asked with a soft giggle at the same time.

"Haha." Ji Yuan laughed aloud as he unsheathed his saint-step divine sword which was now glowing with a shimmering saintly light.

"This…" All five maidens were startled at the same time. "You've got a saintly sword?! Is that even possible to obtain it as a reward for the second level?"

Bai Qianfeng muttered. "It appears to be an upgrade for your immortal-step divine sword. This is your reward? Impossible!"

Ji Yuan laughed. "Haha. Isn't this impressive or not?"

Xiang Li laughed in Ji Yuan's soul sea. "It is really very impressive, Big Brother!"

"How did you manage to obtain a reward that can upgrade an immortal sword to a saint sword?" Little Princess asked curiously. "Can we have some explaining please?"

Ji Yuan laughed. "That is because I am too awesome. Never in my wildest dream that I can dream of the day that I can finally obtain a saintly sword. Finally I am a true swordsman."

Ling Feiyue smiled weakly. "You are already a sword saint. Do you even need to be a lowly swordsman? That is a demotion."

Ji Yuan frowned. "I say true swordsman. I never say I am an ordinary swordsman."

Bai Qianfeng teased Ji Yuan. "Even a true swordsman is but an ordinary swordsman."

Ji Yuan: …

"But you are now a super swordsman." Bai Qianfeng suddenly winked at him, copying from Little Princess her seductive mannerism.

Ji Yuan was completely mesmerized by Qianfeng's mesmerizing wink as he laughed. "Of course. I am a super swordsman now."

"But how did you manage to obtain your saint-step divine sword?" Ling Feiyue was full of curiosity and she was echoing the thoughts of all the five maidens.

"Come share with us!"

Ji Yuan smiled weakly. "Actually, I don't really know. The trial spirit offered me three types of rewards to choose from but I don't think the rewards are great enough so he offered to give me a surprise treasure and that is to upgrade my divine sword. Haha…"

"You can actually bargain with the trial spirit?!" All five maidens were astonished.

Ji Yuan laughed. "Actually there's no harm trying…"

Actually Ji Yuan did not know what had happened to cause his immortal-step divine sword to turn to a saint-step divine sword.

He did not know that when Xiang Li had triggered her wish for Ji Yuan, she was already transforming Ji Yuan's half-step celestial sword to an immortal-step divine sword.

But just as Xiang Li was burning her essences to grant Ji Yuan's wish to become stronger so that he could protect Jiajia, she could suddenly hear Ji Yuan's heart saying to her; Xiang Li, you are my best friend. Come back please. Together we can have fun together. I have promised you this. This is my wish for you, to be best friend with you forever. All the other wishes are not my true wishes…

But Big Brother, Xiang Li I am useless…

It doesn't matter if you're useless. I've already known that you're useless from day one. Haha.

When Xiang Li had heard Ji Yuan's voice, the half-tempered saintly sword was left incomplete and Xiang Li's profound power was retracted back instantly, leaving a peaked immortal-step divine sword behind.

All the trial spirit of the second level did was to use his profound power to restore Xiang Li's profound power to the peak in the unfinished immortal-step divine sword. Even then, the efforts had exhausted the trial spirit because no trial spirit can ever shape a saint-step divine sword because it cannot be found anywhere in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth or anywhere else in the Celestial Realm.

No trial spirit except for only one and that is Xiang Li.
