Chapter 211: Chapter 107: Fateful Blessing (4K)

"Zheng, Zheng!"

When Yuan called out, Zheng Fa had just swallowed a Purple Cloud Pill, and as she walked in, her gaze fixed intently on the pill bottle in his hand.

"Sister Yuan?"

Seeing the look on her face, Zheng Fa assumed she was envious.

It’s probably been thousands of years since the Jiushan Sect saw a disciple who ate Spirit Pills like candy, like Zheng Fa did.

Even with a good relationship, it’s normal to feel envious when you see such a disparity in treatment.

Sister Yuan glanced at the pill bottle, then at Zheng Fa, and suddenly asked, "Tasty?"

"Ah?"

"Can you describe the flavor of these elixirs? Are they sweet or salty, and do they smell good?" Zheng Fa distinctly heard Yuan gulp.

"..."

I had thought too highly of Sister Yuan... She’s just greedy!

"...Sister, what do you want with me?"

"Oh right." Sister Yuan reluctantly shifted her gaze from the pill bottle, then remembered the important matter at hand: "I heard the other disciples talking about Ling Ye Fairy, saying she’s very powerful and planning to enter the Heavenly Stele... I specifically came to tell you!"

"Ling Ye Fairy?" Zheng Fa inquired, "Who is she?"

Zheng Fa had been in the cultivation world for a short time and rarely ventured out of the Jiushan Sect, so he had heard almost nothing of renowned figures in the Xuanwei Realm.

"Her..." Sister Yuan went on, "Her reputation used to be even greater than Sister Zhang’s... Some say that in their generation of cultivators, Sister Zhang had the best talent for talismanic Dao, but the best talent for Thunder Skills belonged to Ling Ye Fairy."

"Later, when Sister Zhang got stuck in her Golden Core stage, while Ling Ye Fairy smoothly advanced to Nascent Soul, some even felt that Sister Zhang was inferior to her."

Zheng Fa was somewhat surprised.

Putting other things aside, he understood Sister Zhang’s talent for talismanic Dao only too well—while the "Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method" was perfected in Zheng Fa’s hands, its foundation was largely laid by Sister Zhang.

That is to say, Sister Zhang could almost be said to have created half a Dao herself.

Regarding Sister Zhang getting stuck at the Golden Core stage, Zheng Fa had a different perspective from others:

Others felt that Sister Zhang’s talent was limited, but Zheng Fa saw a genius who had taken a step ahead of others... Sometimes, having too much talent can actually lead one into a dead end.

However, the talent of Ling Ye Fairy was indeed not to be underestimated.

"I’ve heard..." Sister Yuan’s tone was full of envy: "This Ling Ye Fairy has been blessed with unmatched luck from childhood; spirit materials and magical treasures seemed to fall from the sky..."

"Ah?"

Having great talent is one thing, but to also be this lucky?

"They say that when she was three years old, playing in the courtyard, a Thunder Origin Fruit fell right onto her head—after eating it, she had the cultivation level of Qi Cultivation without even entering the Dao."

"When she first started on the Dao, Outer Heaven Strange Iron fell from the sky, which she refined into her Lifebound Magical Treasure."

"From childhood to adulthood, wherever she went, she could find Spirit Plants, and from time to time encounter all kinds of spiritual materials..."

"From her entry into the Dao until she reached Nascent Soul, it’s unthinkable how many spiritual materials she consumed, how many Magical Treasures she obtained..." At this point, Sister Yuan swallowed hard, apparently imagining how many delicacies she could eat if she had such fortune.

"That..." Zheng Fa glanced at the pill bottle in his hand and suddenly felt a bit inferior: "That’s too enviable!"

I get so delighted whenever Master Pang gives me Spirit Materials, but look at her—that’s a gift from the heavens!

"Exactly," Sister Yuan said with strong agreement: "Now her so-called Yuan Magnetic Dao Body is even called the Treasure Picking Dao Body..."

"Wait a second... Ling Ye Fairy’s Dao Body is called the Yuan Magnetic Dao Body?"

Zheng Fa was startled.

"Yes!"

...The way this Ling Ye Fairy attracts all sorts of treasures... it actually sounds a bit scientific?

...

As Zheng Fa was walking into the great hall, he felt Master Pang’s gaze on him was a bit strange.

"Master Pang?"

Zheng Fa couldn’t help being puzzled.

"Ahem, Zheng Fa, what do you want with me?"

"Master Pang, I wanted to ask if a thousand-year-old Thunder Spider Inner Core has ever appeared in the workshop?"

"A thousand-year-old Yang Thunder Spider Inner Core?" Master Pang frowned, slowly saying: "Such Demon Beasts are rare to begin with, and a thousand-year-old Yang Thunder Spider’s strength is even more extraordinary... Not to mention in the Thunder Pool workshop, even in the Xuanwei Realm these things are not commonly seen in recent years. What do you need it for?"

"My Master once gave me three Secret Techniques, one of which is called ’Heavenly Net Thunder Armor.’ I’m currently cultivating it and need the Inner Core of the thousand-year-old Yang Thunder Spider."

"This Secret Technique... what use does it have?" After a moment of hesitation, as if feeling it was rude to pry, Master Pang continued to ask.

"The Heavenly Net Thunder Armor itself has a strong defense, and for cultivators practicing the Divine Sky Thunder Control True Method, this Secret Technique can also allow them to master the realm of Refining Thunder into Silk."

This is the reason why Zheng Fa wanted to practice this Secret Technique.

To master the Thunder Skill of the Heavenly Stele, control over Thunder is extremely important.

"So the one surnamed Yuan actually hid such treasures..." Upon hearing this, Master Pang murmured: "But a thousand-year-old Yang Thunder Spider Inner Core is indeed rare, it might be hard to find for a while, let alone, even if it’s found, the price would probably be very high."

Zheng Fa nodded.

Master Pang may be willing to spend money on him, but there’s a limit—besides, it’s another matter whether you can actually buy it or not.

"No worries, I was just asking... I’ll look for it when I go to the Heavenly Stele." Zheng Fa remembered that Yan Wushuang once said that there are many Thunder-related spiritual materials in the Hundred Treasure Hall of the the Heavenly Stele Realm, which can be exchanged for Heavenly Merit.

"The Heavenly Stele..."

To his surprise, as soon as Master Pang heard the two words ’Heavenly Stele,’ his expression seemed to struggle, as if he wanted to say something.

His expression changed back and forth, then he suddenly spoke up: "Our Jiushan Sect’s Spirit Veins are actually not bad..."

"Hmm?"

Zheng Fa was stunned, unclear why Master Pang would say this.

"I have spent my whole life in the Jiushan Sect, I actually have a lot of affection for that place..."

Zheng Fa somewhat understood what Master Pang meant.
