Chapter 188: Another Junk?
Lu Zhou saw the Six Recombinant Trigram Lines avatar being replaced by the Seven Star Soul. At the same time, he felt his Extraordinary Eight Meridians being filled with a formidable power.
For cultivators in the Brahman Sea Eight Meridians or lower, the tempering and improvements were only on their bodies and consciousness. However, after that, a cultivator would officially step into the Divine Court realm.
Usually, there would only be one Divine Court realm cultivator out of several hundred cultivators in a single sect. A Divine Court realm cultivator would be able to control the method he or she cultivated. At the same time, they would be taken more seriously in the cultivation world. They surpassed the Brahman Sea realm cultivators in terms of cultivation base and power after all.
Meanwhile, the energy around the Evil Sky Pavilion surged. Some of the energy flowed into the Evil Sky Pavilion through the opened doors and windows.
The disciples who felt the fluctuation of energy turned to look in the pavilion’s direction.
Zhu Honggong asked curiously, “Senior brother, has someone stepped into the Divine Court realm?”
Mingshi Yin was used to this so he said, “There’s no need to be alarmed. Master does this all the time.”
Zhu Honggong scratched his head, baffled. He recalled the scene he witnessed back in the Heaven Choice Temple. He would never dare to doubt his master’s cultivation base and abilities. His master was able to conjure a Golden Buddha Body, unleash the Great Seal of Fearlessness, and defeat the Four Divine Monks. Based on these points alone, he no longer dared to comment on the matter.
“Fourth Senior Brother, when did master give you the weapon?” Zhu Honggong asked curiously.
Mingshi Yin raised his right arm. The Separation Hook and Scabbard appeared above his hand and began to spin.
Zhu Honggong was practically drooling in envy as he said, “I wonder when I’ll get a nice weapon of my own.
“You have the zen tunic, don’t you? By the way, let’s go, Eighth Junior Brother.” Mingshi Yin pulled Zhu Honggong and made his way toward the back of the mountain.
“What is it?”
“Spar with me.”
“Huh? Fourth Senior Brother, there’s no need to joke like this. I’m only in the Divine Court realm. I won’t ever be a match for you who’s in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm. Ow, Senior Brother... Ow, ow, ow...”
...
In the hidden chamber.
Lu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief after entering the Divine Court realm. He sensed the changes in the energy inside his body. He was at the Dao-shaping stage in various aspects. Unfortunately, his longevity was already at its limit when Ji Tiandao was still in this body. Hence, he was merely recovering his cultivation base right now instead of increasing his lifespan.
“5,955 days?” Lu Zhou opened the item mall and purchased a Reversal Card. “Use.”
As his life energy reversed, the numbers on the dashboard changed to 6,255 days, which was equivalent to more than 17 years.
Lu Zhou stood up and stretched his limbs. He did not feel any obvious changes. After all, he merely gained less than one year’s worth of time. For a being that could live for a millennium, 17 years was nothing.
He finally understood. This system was kind to newbies in lucky draws or special gift bags. As time went by and as one’s cultivation base improved, it would get more difficult to obtain anything good from the system.
‘Sky Fragment? Isn’t this the junk Ji Tiandao tossed away before this?’ He recalled the moment when Xu Liao tried to attack him using the Sky Fragment.
The Sky Fragments were fragments of a certain weapon that was extremely sharp. Even just one fragment was terrifying since it could pierce through protective energies. It was a good weapon to kill someone. Lu Zhou just recovered this knowledge from his memories.
His memories were fuzzy. Anything related to the system was blank. Ji Tiandao had obtained eight fragments through some unknown method. Then, when he found no use for the fragments, he had tossed them away, treating them like trash.
Outsiders regarded the Evil Sky Pavilion as a treasure trove. There were many who secretly collected the treasures from the pavilion. The Sky Fragments were one of them.
Lu Zhou raised his hand slightly. A green Sky Fragment appeared in his palm. It was long, thin, and irregularly-shaped along the edges. It resembled a shard from a broken vase.
Lu Zhou used his Primal Qi to gauge the Sky Fragment’s quality.
“It’s barely an earth-grade material...” Based on this alone, Lu Zhou would not bother himself with it. It was no wonder Ji Tiandao tossed them away all those years ago.
Soon after, Lu Zhou noticed a new mission in the system’s mission list. Collecting Sky Fragments (1/8).
A stiff expression appeared on Lu Zhou’s face. Searching for the Sky Fragments in this world was no different from fishing for a needle in the ocean.
‘How am I going to complete this?’ Lu Zhou shook his head. He cursed inwardly at the system as he closed the dashboard.
When he left the hidden chamber and entered the great hall, he saw Zhao Yue hurrying over.
Zhao Yue bowed and said, “Master... Little Junior Sister! She...”
“Is she making trouble again?” Lu Zhou asked with his hands on his back. He honestly could not think of anyone who could bully her in the Evil Sky Pavilion.
“No. Little Junior Sister consumed both of the sable magnolias in one go! Her condition doesn’t seem too stable now,” Zhao Yue said.
“...”
“Junior Sister Tianxin has gone over. Her Blue Waves Technique should be able to stabilize the herbs’ effects,” Zhao Yue said.
Lu Zhou frowned and said, “That little girl will never let me rest.” He had underestimated Little Yuan’er’s eagerness to improve her cultivation base.
After Little Yuan’er received the sable magnolias, she rushed back to the south pavilion and ate both of them at the same time. The problem was the sable magnolias were incredibly potent. It should have been consumed in smaller portions over several servings. It was the same as drinking wine. It had to be enjoyed slowly. The quicker one drank, the quicker one would get drunk. Things might even go awry!
...
Meanwhile, in the south pavilion.
Duanmu Sheng, Mingshi Yin, Zhu Honggong, and the others were waiting anxiously.
Even Zhou Jifeng, Pan Zhong, and Hua Wudao were at the courtyard.
Hua Wudao said, “The sable magnolias’ effects are terrifying... However, this young girl’s talent isn’t to be underestimated as well. I believe that she’ll pull through.”
“Elder Hua, you do have a point... However, there’s always the off-chance that things might go wrong. We should think of a way to suppress the herbs’ effects on Little Junior Sister. She has never experienced much hardships in her life. I’m worried that she won’t survive this with her weak willpower,” Mingshi Yin said.
“How are we supposed to do that?” Duanmu Sheng grabbed Mingshi Yin’s shoulder.
“Senior brother... There’s no need to grip me like that. How should I know?” Mingshi Yin looked innocent.
“I’ll do it...” Under the support of two female cultivators, Ye Tianxin walked up to Little Yuan’er’s doors.
“You have a way?” Mingshi Yin asked, puzzled.
“My Blue Waves Technique can lessen the herb’s effects...” Ye Tianxian said.
As the name suggested, the Blue Waves Technique utilized the power of water. Water was the source of life.
“But your cultivation base is still recovering... Won’t you damage your Daoist Bone if you do that? How are you going to recover your cultivation base at that time?” Mingshi Yin asked.
Ye Tianxin asked, “Do you have any other ideas then?”
They did not.
The others made way for Ye Tianxin. She opened the door with an indifferent expression. She turned to the others and said before entering the room, “Don’t forget, she’s my little junior sister as well.”
Ye Tianxin went in and closed the door.
The others sighed and shook their heads. They paced the corridor like ants on a hot pan.
“What’s taking master so long?” Mingshi Yin wondered as he looked outside.
Zhu Honggong said, “Don’t worry, Fifth Senior Sister had already gone to inform him about this. Master is old and his legs are weak. It’s normal.”
