Chapter 230: 229. Profound Level Cultivation Technique Is Actually So Trash! (2/4)
After sitting on the stone stool, Biyue Yi decided not to think too much. Since they were in this kind of place, it was best to get straight to the point.
"Sect Leader Wen, I want to ask for your help."
"You have something to discuss with me?"
The Half-Step Divine Profound is standing behind you.
You’re looking for me with something?
Kind of sounds like a joke, doesn’t it?
Biyue Yi continued, "Well, Sect Leader Wen, I wonder what your relationship with Medicine God Xue Qianqian is?"
"Xue Qianqian? Never heard of her."
His mother is called Long Xue.
As for whether she’s Medicine God Xue Qianqian, he really didn’t want to delve into it. Who doesn’t have some impressive past?
Hearing Wen Ping’s response, Biyue Yi frowned. "Sect Leader Wen, are you truly not acquainted with Xue Qianqian?"
Wen Ping replied indifferently, "Can this dull question end?"
"Sorry."
Biyue Yi immediately glanced at Shan Hua.
Shan Hua understood Biyue Yi’s intention and quickly nodded. Only then did Biyue Yi feel assured, turned back to Wen Ping, and said, "Sect Leader Wen, I heard you can make Spiritual Cuisine. I have a spiritual dish here, all the Celestial Materials and treasures are prepared. I would like to ask you to make it. As long as it’s successful, the reward is 50 White Crystals."
Upon hearing Biyue Yi’s words, Wen Ping understood.
It was just as he had suspected; it was all for the matter concerning Biyue Piaoling.
Apparently, Biyue Piaoling doesn’t have long to live. Zimo Lake must not have found a Spiritual Cuisine Master capable of dispelling the Tomb Poison, or else why would the Biyue Family offer such a high price for him to make Spiritual Cuisine?
White Crystals, indeed quite a lot.
Since all Celestial Materials and treasures are prepared, he wants to see what it is that can dispel the Innate Poison.
"Oh, can I take a look? I’m really curious what could possibly be able to dispel the Innate Poison!"
After Wen Ping spoke, Biyue Yi was delighted.
Wen Ping knows of the Innate Poison, he surely knows what kind of poison their great-grandfather has.
Shan Hua had told him, he hadn’t informed Wen Ping about anything.
It seems that Wen Ping’s abilities as a Spiritual Cuisine Master are true!
Biyue Yi quickly took out a list from his Storage Ring, "The Celestial Materials and treasures are all sealed. They would lose Spiritual Qi upon exposure now. Sect Leader Wen, this is the list; it’s clearly detailed on it."
Wen Ping took the list and started scrutinizing it.
"Flowerless Fruit."
"Colorless Flower."
"Rootless Grass."
"Heartless Beast."
...
They’re all Celestial Materials and treasures detached from their most fundamental forms. Just from looking at the list, Wen Ping could tell its value. Many of the Celestial Materials and treasures he hadn’t heard of; they seemed quite impressive at a first glance.
However, the system told him that besides Jianmu tree leaves, nothing else could dispel the Tomb Poison.
In the entire Heaven and Earth Lake, the only sixteen Jianmu are growing on the back mountain of Yunlan Mountain.
After putting down the list, Wen Ping said, "The items are great, but unfortunately..."
Biyue Yi quickly asked, "Unfortunately what?"
"Unfortunately, they’re useless. They cannot dispel the Tomb Poison." Wen Ping responded indifferently, pushing the list back in front of Biyue Yi, "I don’t even know where you got such a thing."
Biyue Yi quickly explained, "We got this from the biggest auction house in Zimo Lake, an ancient prescription specifically for dispelling the Tomb Poison! It can’t be that it doesn’t work, Sect Leader Wen, would you look again?"
"If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do. You could ask your Half-Step Divine Profound companion beside you. Being in this realm, he must have encountered many Spiritual Chefs, certainly famous ones at Zimo Lake too. You have all the materials, yet they can’t succeed. Doesn’t this speak volumes?"
After Wen Ping spoke, he directly stood up.
Biyue Yi glanced back at Lu Ye, seeing he remained silent, he asked Wen Ping, "Sect Leader Wen, how do you know nobody can make it?"
Wen Ping replied indifferently, "If they could, you wouldn’t come to find me here."
After saying that, Wen Ping thought of Biyue Piaoling’s face and the scene upon their first meeting.
A person near death holds a sincere heart.
They might deceive because of certain matters, but they certainly wouldn’t spend their remaining time making friends that go against their conscience. And Biyue Piaoling, when facing death, first came here to make friends.
As someone who was treated seriously, Wen Ping felt he might truly need to step in and help.
Another reason being, he was quite short of money.
Rescuing Yu Mo earned him his first fortune, which swiftly led to the development of the Immortal Sect. Rescuing Biyue Piaoling probably wouldn’t yield losses either.
Thinking this, Wen Ping pulled out the list for Moonlight Dumplings, and said to Biyue Yi, "How about this, I’ll play the good guy. Buy the items listed here today and send them over, come up the mountain tomorrow morning to collect the Spiritual Cuisine. Dispelling the Tomb Poison shouldn’t be a problem."
"Sect Leader Wen, you have a way?"
Biyue Yi immediately rejoiced.
The previously lost heart suddenly cleared up completely.
Before he could read the list, Wen Ping continued, "My Spiritual Cuisine can’t achieve permanent healing at once, but it can save Senior Piaoling’s life now. 10 White Crystals per bowl—if you want, come and take it tomorrow; if not, forget it."
"I want!"
Biyue Yi immediately nodded.
And Lu Ye beside him quickly responded, "Young Master, the recipes we bought didn’t work, and here he..."
"The Immortal Sect is right here, it’s not going anywhere. Do you think anyone would want their entire sect wiped out just for 10 White Crystals?"
Biyue Yi responded calmly.
Lu Ye was left speechless.
He genuinely couldn’t find a reason to counter that statement.
At this point, Wen Ping issued a dismissal, "Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you guys."
"Hmm, I’ll have people go buy them immediately."
Even if Wen Ping asked him to stay, Biyue Yi still didn’t want to linger here. After cupping his fists, he immediately turned around to leave.
Buying the Celestial Materials and treasures on the list is urgent!
...
After the Biyue Family left, Wen Ping did not head to the Ten Layers Tower; instead, he planned to drink some Spiritual Water first.
Spiritual Water is such a good thing; once he enters the Ten Layers Tower, he’ll surely forget to drink it.
While walking back, he happened to run into Zhantian Ye who was accompanying Zhao Yi.
"Sect Leader!"
"Sect Leader!"
The two called out simultaneously.
Wen Ping nodded, just about to pass by them, suddenly remembered something, and quickly said, "You two, wait a moment."
Zhao Yi stopped, "Sect Leader, I was about to take Sister Zhantian to the Gravity Field; do you have something in mind?"
"Stay still."
After saying that, a golden light flashed in his left eye.
In an instant, Wen Ping’s whole left eye turned golden.
Golden Divination Eye activated!
Taking another look at Zhantian Ye with his left eye, the Cultivation Technique’s information appeared.
"Purple Jade Sky Gathering Technique"—Yellow Level lower.
Seeing this line, Wen Ping secretly thought, "Indeed, the Vortex Divine Artisan is wealthy, even bought a Profound Level Cultivation Technique for his granddaughter."
Looking further down, Wen Ping saw the defects in the Cultivation Technique. What made Wen Ping feel the prowess of the Golden Divination Eye was that it could point out more than ten flaws in the Profound Level Cultivation Technique, each remarkably insightful.
It made Wen Ping wonder, how could this feel like a Yellow Level lower Cultivation Technique?
Seeing this, Wen Ping couldn’t help but mutter, "Tsk tsk, this ’Purple Jade Sky Gathering Technique’ is unexpectedly such trash!"
This time, Wen Ping forgot to say it quietly within his mind.
Upon hearing these words, Zhantian Ye’s face showed some surprise, originally flushed from being stared at by Wen Ping, she suddenly returned to normal.
The Sect Leader actually discerned the Cultivation Technique she was practicing.
And he even mentioned that the ’Purple Jade Sky Gathering Technique’ grandmother gave her was poor!
