Chapter 11: Divine Lotus Constitution
_______________________________________________
“What...is this Divine Lotus Constitution exactly?” Qiao Sui suddenly asked with curiosity.
She had heard Elder Gan mention it previously, but while she knew it was something rare, she did not possess enough knowledge to understand what exactly it was.
The white-haired youth smiled and explained: “Your Divine Lotus Constitution is a rare body physique that should only be seen once every a hundred thousand years. It’s one of the eighteen Divine Constitutions, and is immensely regarded in the Fen Shui Continent. Users of such constitution possess extreme cultivation speed, being able to absorb the energy in the air around them at a much quicker rate and being able to connect with the mysterious laws around them easier.
In other words, these beings are typically referred to as the ‘Chosen Children of Heaven’. None of the people who had a Divine Constitution was an ordinary figure in the martial world.”
Qiao Sui’s eyes widened in wonder and shock when she heard the white-haired youth’s words. She actually such a legendary physique?!
Qiao Sui sank into her own thoughts as she wondered about her parents whom she had never saw.
Could her body have been gifted from her parents? But if so, then that meant her parents must have been quite powerful. Why would her parents have abandoned her when she was still a baby? How did she survive up until now? Why can’t she remember anything earlier than the age of six? Or was her current gift a mere fluke from the heavens?
A pain buzzed in her head, as Qiao Sui suddenly felt a light wave of dizziness overcame her. It felt like something was blocking a part of her thoughts…
“Are you alright?” A concerned voice rang out in front of Qiao Sui.
Returning to her senses, Qiao Sui looked up at the white-haired youth and blinked a few times to clear her cloudy head. “I, I am fine. I was feeling a bit nervous, that’s all..”
“Ah.” The white-haired youth nodded before he reached into his black sleeve and brought out a three blue covered manuals. Handing it over to Qiao Sui, the youth said:
“Here, take these skill books as well. Since it was fate that we have met this time around and seeing that your talent is quite decent, I shall gift you these three completed volumes: [Supreme Fairy Sword Arts], [Godly Body Refinement Art], and [Heaven Subduing Palm]. While these are mere copies of the original, you must still protect them and be certain to never tell anyone!”
Huang Xue did not bother telling her that the three skills' level, which was at...the Astral grade! Knowing too much at this point would only possibly bring more harm than good.
“Eh?” Qiao Sui looked on dumbfounded.
“But do not get excited. You will only be able to train in the [Godly Body Refinement Arts] for the time being. Until you at least breakthrough to the Jie Hai realm, you will not be able to learn the other skills. And only upon becoming stronger, would you be able to comprehend the later parts in each volume.” The white-haired youth explained.
Qiao Sui did not say anything and only nodded her head. She felt like the current situation was too surreal for her to digest at the moment.
“Now then, you should be on your way, little girl.”
“Uh, um, w-would I be able to see again?” Qiao Sui suddenly asked as she shyly looked at the youth before her.
The white-haired young man smiled and replied: “If our fates are interconnected, then we will naturally meet again in the future.”
Qiao Sui nodded her head and slowly placed the talisman on her forehead. The talisman was made with a simple function, such that even commoners who be able to use it easily, should they have the luck and wealth to acquire such luxury.

Thinking of the destination the black-robed youth had told her, Qiao Sui began to feel a slight tickling sensation run through her body.
Suddenly, Qiao Sui opened her eyes, as if she had realized something, and hurriedly shouted: “Wa-wait! What is your na--”
But she never got to finish as a white light burst out from the talisman in her hand, engulfing her entire being in a blinding glow before it instantly disappeared from the spot.
The white-haired youth stared at where Qiao Sui was at a moment ago, as he mumbled to himself: “I hope those with a Divine Lotus Constitution would not disappoint me…”
This youth was naturally Huang Xue.
Although he had given out three priceless manuals at once, there was not a trace of regret or care on Huang Xue’s face. While those techniques may cause an uproar across the continent, even in the Three Absolute Grand Sects, to him it meant nothing.
And seeing that the girl he had just saved seemed promising, Huang Xue had immediately decided to take a chance and gift her a few skills to help her development. An extra possibility of a peerless expert emerging would be great news for Huang Xue, considering his current situation.
Turning around, Huang Xue looked towards the area where Gan Long had landed several moments ago.
There was no one there now.
During Huang Xue’s small talk with Qiao Sui, the elder had taken the chance to quickly escape into the forest. However, Huang Xue had never lost track of Gan Long’s presence, even without facing the latter.
And being severely injured, did he really believe he could escape from an Immortal Sovereign practitioner?
Huang Xue walked leisurely towards the direction of the forest where he detected Gan Long’s moving Qi presence.
His body flickered and disappeared from the spot.
When Huang Xue first went to look for Gan Long, he had secretly traveled to the Eternal Sword Spirit Palace, which was situated in the middle of a vast desert. The grand sect was extremely large, covering an enormous piece of land and more, and inside the Palace, it was extravagantly decorated with trees and man-carved rivers.
However, he soon discovered that the elder was not there and was supposedly away on a trip. This had made it a bit problematic for Huang Xue, considering the size of the continent and the various corners of the land. However, he did not relent his pursuit and opted to secretly investigate around. He did not reveal his true appearance to anyone during this process, transforming his face several times in order to gather information.
Surprisingly, from Huang Xue’s previous memories, it seemed face changing was an unknown art in the Continent of Feng Shui. Rather than it being an issue about power, it was more that this concept was simply not introduced in this world. As such, it was very probable that only Huang Xue would be able to utilize this little art...
At the same time, Huang Xue had consumed several miracle pills that were used for recover a person’s young appearance and body. Coupling the medicines with a secret body refining art that Huang Xue knew, he was able to revert back to his body’s earlier years. His current appearance was that of a sixteen or seventeen years old. The only thing that remained relatively the same was Huang Xue’s snow white hair, which he did not bother changing. It gave his appearance a unique point.
Moreover, the main reason of Huang Xue’s bodily transformation was to help hide his identity from the other two Absolute Grand Sects. He needed to stay low for a while as he go about his plans...
