Li Xiang the Immortal
16 - Second Stage

The next day, Xiao Xing Fu was currently looking for Li Xiang, as he did not find the teenager inside the cave. He had already looked for him in the place Li Xiang used to occupy during the first stage training. But he didn't find it either.

"Teacher!! Where're you?!" Shouted Xiao Xing Fu. He walked with a slight limp, because he could not use one leg properly due to injury. Both of his hands were also injured. One of his bones was broken.

Since Xiao Xing Fu had often toured the forest, he already knew a place in this forest. So he won't get lost.

"Where have you been? Long time."

Xiao Xing Fu looked up when he heard Li Xiang's voice. "Well?!" He was shocked when he saw Li Xiang hanging upside down.

"What are you doing?" Wonder Xiao Xing Fu.

"I'm waiting for you. You've been a long time." Li Xiang's body twisted and he instantly knocked himself down with a foot that retraced first on the surface.

"I'm looking for you where. But you're here." Xiao Xing Fu said flatly.

"Don't I tell you to go to a maple tree near the cave in this forest?"

Xiao Xing Fu frowned, "Since when? You didn't say anything about it. So where do I know!"

"Oh~it looks like I forgot to tell you." Li Xiang had an innocent expression.

Xiao Xing Fu pouted. He was a little annoyed by his teacher's reply. "Other times–"

Li Xiang covered Xiao Xing Fu's mouth with one hand, "Shuutt. I got it." He smiles.

Xiao Xing Fu brushed Li Xiang's hand from his mouth, "Now what should I do?"

"That's easy. You just have to catch 10 dragonflies." Said Li Xiang casually.

"Float? That only?" Xiao Xing Fu looked at Li Xiang lightly. "I can catch even more than that. In the past, I used to look for him. They are easy to catch."

"Oh yeah?" Li Xiang smiled, "Then you should be able to get 20 dragonflies before sunset. If you can't do it, then there will be punishment waiting for you."

"What the hell is this?! Why do I have to catch a dragonfly with chopsticks? There's no way anyone could do that!" The Xiao Xing Fu protest.

"You said catching a dragonfly was a very easy thing for you. Then why don't you get it too? It's noon." Li Xiang said casually. He was sitting on a rock, under a maple tree. In front of him were many colorful flowers that grew beautifully. They are surrounded by butterflies and dragonflies.

Xiao Xing Fu looked at Li Xiang irritatedly, "I used to catch him by hand! Therefore, I said that catching it is very easy! Where do I know you're gonna have me catch him with chopsticks! After all, I wouldn't be able to get a single dragonfly like this!"

Li Xiang relaxed expression, "That's your problem. If you can't, then it's easy. I'll give you a punishment."

"I'm definitely going to be punished!" The Upset Xiao Xing Fu.

"Well, if you don't want to be punished, you have to catch 20 dragonflies with chopsticks. That's just hard." Li Xiang's.

"Are you able to do it?! You just can't possibly do that!" Xiao Xing Fu grew even more annoyed.

"The most important thing is to do what I tell you. Don't you want me to teach you cultivation?"

"Yes.but if I had to catch a dragonfly with chopsticks it would be impossible. Even if I spend a lot of time, I'll never be able to do it." Xiao Xing Fu said in disbelief.

"Well, I can't catch a dragonfly with a pair of chopsticks. But I want you to be able to do what I can't." Li Xiang was still relaxed.

Xiao Xing Fu snorted in annoyance, "Alright! I'll try again!"

Xiao Xing Fu targeted a dragonfly that flew past his face. As the dragonfly moved away, Xiao Xing Fu chased after him. However, he fell down shortly after his foot stumbled over a rock. "Shm.. "

It's always like that. Every time it targeted a dragonfly, Xiao Xing Fu never got it. Sometimes it falls. Some flowers that he accidentally stepped on so damaged. But he still did not get any results.

Over time the boy became upset, "Why do you keep flying like that?! Shut up, I just want to catch you!" Slowly he could not move quietly. He even seemed to rush plus his emotions overflowing.

"You're easily angered by a dragonfly." Li Xiang said casually, "Look, they even get scared when they are near you. They flew away from you."

Xiao Xing Fu glanced at Li Xiang, "They did indeed continue like that when I was about to catch him! So this has nothing to do with my upset self."

"Is that so? I just found out." Li Xiang gave a foolish expression.

***

"I thought, ahhh, all I got was tired! It's no use. How hard and how fast I tried to catch them, I still couldn't do it!" Xiao Xing Fu said tiredly. He lay down near the flowers. "It's impossible to do it!"

"That's because you're too in a hurry." Said Li Xiang casually. "Look me at it." He picked up a pair of chopsticks that were near Xiao Xing Fu. After that, he immediately moved his hand towards the right. "You see?"

Xiao Xing Fu blinked many times. He rubbed his eyes, as if in disbelief, "You. how can you do it so easily?"

"You must remember your purpose for capturing him. But other than that, you can't rush. You have to stay calm and focused. Even if you can't catch it, you can't be rash and direct emotion to move irregularly. Like earlier, you're moving according to your emotional control." Said Li Xiang calmly. He released the dragonfly he had caught with chopsticks.

Xiao Xing Fu was silent for a moment, "Are you eating wrong earlier?"

"hee? Why why?" The astonishment of Li Xiang.

"No." Xiao Xing Fu replied flatly. He frowned when he realized something, "Didn't you say you couldn't catch a dragonfly with a chopstick? Then what did you do?"

"O-oh~ you heard wrong! What I say is not a dragonfly, but a bird. Birds are too big to be caught with chopsticks, so I won't be able to catch them." Li Xiang smiled awkwardly.

"Then why didn't you show me how to catch a dragonfly with chopsticks in the first place?!" The Upset Xiao Xing Fu.

"Because I want to see your own abilities." Li Xiang relaxed his expression. "Why? Something wrong with that, huh? You don't take it?"

Xiao Xing Fu clenched his one hand, "It looks like I need to get well soon so I can step on and hit you again!"

"Then you better keep going like that, so you can never step on or hit me again." Li Xiang looked at Xiao Xing Fu cynically. "Do I need to give you a sentence that leaves you unconscious for a long time?" Li Xiang held onto his chin and thought.

Hearing that, Xiao Xing Fu became annoyed. He took the stone beside himself and threw it to the head of Li Xiang.

"Ouch.." Li Xiang stroked his forehead. "What are you doing?! Why bother me when I'm thinking?" Resenting.

"Think about it yourself!" The Upset Xiao Xing Fu.

Out of annoyance, Li Xiang directly stomped on the injured Xiao Xing Fu's foot.

"Ohhh, shhh.." Xiao Xing Fu grimaced. He immediately changed his body position to sit.

"Ups, I didn't mean it. Just forgive me." Li Xiang who was standing near Xiao Xing Fu smiled mockingly.

Xiao Xing Fu looked at Li Xiang irritatedly, "This is the name of torture on disciples!"

"Oh really? I guess not. I'm just teaching you. Anyway what am I doing? I don't think I did anything that hurt you." Li Xiang had an innocent expression. He smiles.

Xiao Xing Fu gritted his teeth. It felt anxious to hit the annoying face in front of him. It turns out that he must heal soon.
