Chapter 227: 226, The second Magical Artifact is ready! (4/4)
Tomorrow?
Better do it now!
Zhantian Qingxuan had no real concept of sleep, so after Zhantian Ye returned to her room, she immediately left the dormitory area along the wooden bridge. However, unfamiliar with this road, she was practically groping in the dark.
Especially when her perception couldn’t extend outward, she had no idea which way to go.
No choice but to return.
Just like that, the night passed ever so briefly, and when the next day arrived, the morning light cloaked the Immortal Sect with a new mantle. As usual, all new members were to gather for a communal meal.
Huai Ye rose early to prepare a sumptuous breakfast, then sent Yang Lele to notify everyone.
When Zhantian Qingxuan reached the kitchen and saw the row of Moonlight Trees, she paused for a moment then stepped forward to take a closer look, revealing a look of surprise similar to Lin Kewu’s when first seeing the Moonlight Trees.
"Elder Zhantian, actually, our Sect Leader is a Spiritual Cuisine Master, which is why these Moonlight Trees are planted,"
Qin Shan said quickly upon noticing Zhantian Qingxuan’s daze.
Zhantian Qingxuan was subtly astonished, "A Spiritual Cuisine Master, at his age..."
At this moment, she truly didn’t know what to say.
She had underestimated Wen Ping enough.
Unexpectedly, she had always underestimated him; at such a young age, Wen Ping was already a Spiritual Cuisine Master.
Plus, in this sect, Moonlight Trees planted like ornamental trees evident of Wen Ping’s grandeur, any thoughts of him coveting the White Crystals in her pocket were unfounded. Her entire possessions weren’t even worth more than a single tree here.
"Sect Leader!"
"Good morning, Sect Leader!"
...
After everyone bowed in greeting, Wen Ping arrived outside the kitchen.
Wen Ping smiled at Zhantian Qingxuan and asked, "Elder Zhantian, getting used to the bed in the dormitory area?"
Zhantian Qingxuan replied, "This old woman couldn’t sleep all night. Without a crafting book, I can’t sleep."
"A crafting book, that’s a small matter. Let’s talk after the welcoming feast."
Saying this, Wen Ping stepped into the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Yang Lele and others swarmed in, yes, everyone was here to verify.
"Sect Leader, did you really go to find trouble at Upper Extreme Realm Mountain?"
The first to speak was Zhao Qing.
"Sect Leader, how did Senior Brother Qin Mo rise two realms during his trip out, did you privately tutor him?"
Next was Lin Kewu.
"Sect Leader, is there really a secret realm battle?"
Third was Yang Xi.
...
Wen Ping didn’t get a chance to answer their questions, just nodded with a smile, "All true."
Zhao Qing exclaimed, "Wow, this time following the Sect Leader out was a windfall, two realms up for Qin Mo, Yu Mo Elder also reached the Middle Profound Realm. I wish I could go out with the Sect Leader too."
Of course, no one thought the outside world was actually that great.
Everyone knew what the outside world was like, but everyone knew that going out with the Sect Leader was bound to be good!
At this moment, Huan Shan spoke up from behind the crowd, "Honestly, I’m not jealous of Senior Brother Qin Mo at all!"
With that, Huan Shan finally unwrapped the cloth bag he was carrying.
Everyone was curious why Huan Shan was carrying a cloth bag, but no one asked.
Carry it if you want!
Who cares what it is.
But when Huan Shan opened the bag and revealed a heavy sword about a meter long, everyone’s expressions changed!
The golden blade, adorned with several mysterious fine lines, the whole sword exuded an oppressive aura. Like a Fire Rod, possessing an energy that no weapon in this world had.
Yang Lele was the first to shout in shock.
"My gosh, the Dragon-slaying Sword!"
"What the heck, Lin Jingyu’s Dragon-slaying Sword!"
Everyone instantly recognized the item in Huan Shan’s hand, wasn’t it the sword Cang Song gifted to Lin Jingyu in "Immortal Slayer"?
Yang Lele stood next to Huan Shan, eyes fixed on the Dragon-slaying Sword, unable to suppress the grin on her face, "Wow, Junior Brother Huan Shan, how is your luck so good! You actually obtained the Dragon-slaying Sword."
Wen Ping had told them long ago that watching "Immortal Slayer" gave a chance to obtain its weapons.
But now nearing the grand finale, no one had seen anyone get one.
Huan Shan said with a laugh, "See, I’m really not jealous of Senior Brother Qin Mo!"
"Wow, we’re all jealous!"
"Ouch, heartache makes me faint!"
...
In response, Wen Ping gave a silent laugh, thought to himself, "Could really hold back, only now pulling it out."
Seems like Huan Shan was ready to overshadow Qin Mo, that’s why he waited for Qin Mo to return to unveil it.
Zhantian Qingxuan didn’t understand their excitement, although she felt something special about that sword, she asked no further questions. She followed Wen Ping into the second floor of the kitchen, beginning the welcoming feast.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone was mostly finished with their meals.
Wen Ping quickly spoke up, "The Thousand Layers opens this morning, anyone going?"
Swish!
Anyone who had reached Body Refinement level 10 stood up.
Lin Kewu was the first to slap down a Gold Ticket, the number 5000 was prominently displayed.
Next were Yu Mo, Yun Liao... and so forth.
"What is this?"
Zhantian Qingxuan paused in confusion, not understanding what this was for?
What was Thousand Layers?
This time, unable to resist, Zhantian Qingxuan asked, "Sect Leader, what is this?"
Wen Ping didn’t answer, Qin Shan beside him spoke for him, "Elder Zhantian, Thousand Layers is one of the Immortal Sect’s cultivation areas. A total of a thousand layers, as long as you reach the summit, you can obtain the Flame Anomaly Vein just like the Sect Leader."
"Reach the summit for the vein?"
Zhantian Qingxuan was stunned.
Qin Shan continued, "Thousand Layers opens every seven days, 5000 Gold Coins to enter each time."
Zhantian Qingxuan still looked at Qin Shan in disbelief, "Really reach the summit for the vein?"
Could they be conspiring to deceive her?
"The Anomalous Vein is actually alright, but the Sect Leader’s Fire Rod is amazing. At Lower Profound Realm, without opening the Meridian Gate, it took out an Upper Profound Realm in one blow. That’s a truly meaningful Magical Artifact, I think it’s even better than the vein."
"Magical Artifact?"
Zhantian Qingxuan was even more bewildered.
Seeing this, Qin Shan smiled helplessly, knowing he surely couldn’t explain it clearly.
Only after Zhantian Qingxuan had spent ten days or half a month in the Immortal Sect would she naturally understand everything.
"I’ll go too." Zhantian Qingxuan, not understanding, put forth a White Crystal.
...
After eating and drinking their fill, those taking part in the Thousand Layers trial gathered at the bottom of Thousand Layers, Zhantian Qingxuan still remained confused. But when the Hell mode of Thousand Layers was activated, she understood!
This stone stairway was a trial ground.
The sky turned crimson.
The stone stairs became a bizarre path flaming with scarlet fire.
Then, Wen Ping’s voice echoed in her ear, "Elder Zhantian, reach the summit, and you can obtain the vein, no need for the Vortex Map."
Zhantian Qingxuan believed it!
For as a Vortex Divine Artisan, she could understand the Vortex Map, but was unable to make sense of these suddenly transforming stone steps.
Like the Flying Ship, she completely couldn’t comprehend it.
"Sect Leader Wen, why did you recruit me into the sect?"
There’s no need for the most extreme ability of a 1-Star Vortex Map, recruiting her into the sect seemed to offer no benefit, right?
Wen Ping fell silent, he certainly couldn’t say it was due to a task, right?
No choice, just responded casually, "Just felt like something was missing."
"Really...feels...like something was missing," Zhantian Qingxuan smiled helplessly, first time doubting whether her Vortex Divine Artisan status was valued.
In Fengyuan City, Wen Ping said this, she didn’t believe it.
Now, Wen Ping said it again, she believed it.
Such powerful Flame Anomaly Vein, she couldn’t produce such a Vortex Map, yet reaching the summit of Thousand Layers grants one!
As Zhantian Qingxuan stepped into Thousand Layers, Wen Ping took a step directly to Yunlan Mountain summit.
Face serious, striding swiftly towards the new building—Nirvana House!
