Chapter 311: 309, Life Core Shakes! (2/4)
"Saying this, Zhantian Ye handed over the bowl."
"Each grain of spirit rice looked crystal clear under the sunlight, bright and smooth, with a subtle, natural aroma that captivated the soul even more. However, at this moment, Ji Liangping’s attention was not on the spirit rice but entirely focused on the exhilarating statement Zhantian Ye had just made."
"People from the Mitian Sect have come?"
"And judging by the meaning of what was said, they were all killed."
"Xiao Ye, tell me, what happened with the people from Mitian Sect?"
"Grandpa Liangping, eat something first, and I’ll tell you slowly later." A bowl of spirit rice was handed over, along with a platter of mouthwatering meat dishes.
Ji Liangping turned his head and realized that it was the rice he saw a few days ago, pleased, he quickly took it."
"This kid is really loyal!"
Seeing Ji Liangping suddenly praised the Sect Leader, Zhantian Ye couldn’t help but laugh, "Grandpa Liangping, you’ve been kept in here for several days, and just a bowl of rice is enough to appease you?"
"Just a few days, besides, being able to eat this... it’s worth it!" Picking up the chopsticks, he didn’t bother with grabbing any dishes, and directly sent the rice into his mouth. With the first bite, the fragrance filled his mouth, making him feel blissful; he swore he had never eaten such delicious rice, one bite compelled him to take another."
"Especially when the first mouthful went down, a warm stream surged into the spirit body, creating an immense desire for the second and third mouthfuls, giving the feeling that anyone who tried to stop him would be chopped off."
"Truly fragrant!"
Sighing, Ji Liangping blew the dust off the stone step, "Girl, come, sit down and tell me well about what happened with the Mitian Sect coming here."
"Uh, this matter has to be talked about from when my grandma and I followed the Sect Leader back... Later, they sent three cultivators in the Divine Profound Realm, along with one in the Divine Profound Middle Realm and a Great Demon at the Divine Profound Middle Realm to seek revenge, also intending to take the secret treasure in the Sect Leader’s hand. But all were killed, those who didn’t die are now repairing the city tower." She didn’t mention the flying ships and sword control skills because she was unsure if such things could be publicly declared.
"No wonder." He finally understood, why at the city tower, a bunch of Body Refining Realm managed a group of Profound Realm; he had seen such a situation but not in a small place like Cangwu City. Some particularly strong Three-star Sects, after capturing Profound Realm prisoners, would then let Body Refining Realm cultivators oversee them.
"Serves them right! Let them like bullying others like that." Mitian Sect suddenly lost five cultivators in the Divine Profound Realm, quite a loss, but the greater the loss to Mitian Sect, the happier he was.
Laughing while eating."
Finally, Zhantian Ye couldn’t bear it, got up, and prepared to leave."
"Grandpa Liangping, please continue eating, I’m leaving."
"Finished talking? You haven’t said who those people are yet."
"I don’t know either, they didn’t report their names."
"Then forget it, I’ll guess myself." Ji Liangping began searching his memory for favorites of Mitian Sect’s Divine Profound Realm who enjoyed bullying the weak but couldn’t guess any, because they were all like that."
Once Zhantian Ye left, Ji Liangping continued eating, at this moment forgetting he was still kept inside the Thousand Layers Step."
"Having food to eat and thrilling stories to hear."
"Being kept for a few more days, it didn’t matter."
"At this moment, he got the inspiration to make good acquaintances with Wenping—unique, able to confront Mitian Sect, why not make a cross-generational friendship?"
"..."
"On the second day after the Tingyu Pavilion was upgraded for the second time, Zhantian Qingxuan arrived at Wenping’s residence and knocked on the door."
"Knock, knock!"
"Wenping quickly went to open the door, seeing Zhantian Qingxuan’s serious and focused expression, evidently in a state of concentration. Wenping thought, this is precisely the spirit state a Vortex Divine Artisan should have; at least when doing something, the spirit state must be completely focused, a smile is quite redundant at this moment."
"Sect Leader, it’s ready." In other words, she now has the confidence to create the Two-Vortex Vortex Map."
"Mmm."
"Wenping directly followed out the door, arriving at the house where Zhantian Qingxuan was."
"The place for creating the Vortex Map had been arranged in the study, the books had been cleared out, leaving only various vessels scattered around with ten or so types of celestial materials on top."
"Sect Leader, I’m confident about the technique of making the Two-Vortex Vortex Map, but after all, it’s the first time. My confidence is only fifty percent, so Sect Leader you’d best not make any noise." Being one hundred percent prepared is impossible, doing it for the first time, if preparation can be one hundred percent, it must be in a dream."
"Fifty percent, that’s already quite a high ratio."
"No problem, go ahead and do it." This time the Life Core should come into play."
"Hoping for good luck."
"Wenping immediately removed the Life Core Pendant from his neck, then waved his hand."
"Whoosh!"
"The pendant fell."
"Swung."
"A wave of purple halo flashed by."
"[Good fortune triggered, increasing the success rate of Two-Vortex Vortex Map creation by 30%.]"
"So high! A direct 30% increase, with Zhantian Qingxuan’s mental estimate, that’s an 80% success rate."
"Sect Leader?" She couldn’t hear what Wenping said just now."
"Wenping waved, responding: "Nothing, do what you need to do, don’t mind me."
"Having said that, Wenping sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing to an extremely balanced state, ensuring that no sound would disturb Zhantian Qingxuan."
"Thereafter, Zhantian Qingxuan began."
"First was creating the diagram board for the Vortex Map."
"The diagram board for the Vortex Map is what carries the vortex map and must not fail."
"Bang!"
"The Vibrating Vein Sound rang."
"Yellow flames arose from Zhantian Qingxuan’s hands, simultaneously refining three types of celestial materials. The first, Blood Refining Stone, a rarer item than Red Refining Stone—used as the ’foundation’ at the bottom to carry everything. The second, Star Sand, used for refining the celestial materials of the vortex map. The third, Ice Soul Purifying Water, used to maintain the balance between the vortex map and the diagram board."
"The three gradually fused under the refining flames, simultaneously Zhantian Qingxuan took out a mold, pouring them one after another into it, finally pouring the Ice Soul Purifying Water to cause the two to bond. However, when they were about to solidify, Zhantian Qingxuan used the flames again to melt them together with the Ice Soul Purifying Water.
"When picked up, it was a board one finger thick, the bottom was red, the middle white, also interspersed with silver ice-like fragments."
"Why is it so smooth!" All in one go, this made Zhantian Qingxuan somewhat unexpected—her refining skill was clearly not perfect, errors were inevitable."
"It’s a good omen!"
"Zhantian Qingxuan, happy, began to engrave Dragon Wall Text on the Vortex Diagram Board, intending to turn it into a vessel, a container."
"Unexpectedly, it succeeded."
"After the Dragon Wall Text completely sunk into the stone board, Zhantian Qingxuan hadn’t even recovered."
"Smooth!"
"Too smooth!"
"This time, she showed a smile for the first time in decades while making a vortex map—she simply couldn’t control the joy from her heart."
