Chapter 129: Chapter 127 Caiyi’s Birthday

"Half-vein, because you have forged Half-vein Divine Power!"

"Originally, the inheritance left behind by Meng Chuan was a complete Vein Forging Divine Ability, but because Meng Xiaoyue couldn’t bear it, you each took half. That’s where the problem arose."

"This Half-vein Divine Power, when you break through to the Soul Sea Realm, will give you a great advantage. This is your blessing! However, if in the future your Cultivation reaches the peak of the Soul Sea Realm and you start forging veins, the first problem you face will be to complete this Half-vein Divine Power!"

"Forging veins is already extremely difficult, let alone completing a fragmented Half-vein Divine Power. Perhaps, your future progress could be firmly stuck on this Half-vein Divine Power, which would be disastrous!"

"So, whether this Half-vein Divine Power is a blessing or a curse still depends on your fortune. If your Cultivation stops at Spirit Transformation Realm or Soul Sea Realm, this Half-vein Divine Power is a good thing. If you are lucky enough to forge veins, then it would be a disaster."

The despondency Liao Feibai had anticipated didn’t appear on Ye Zhen’s face. Instead, there was more joy.

"Instructor Liao, I think you might be wrong! I see this Half-vein Divine Power as all blessing and no trouble at all!" Ye Zhen cheerfully said.

"Oh, how so?"

"Look, if I cannot forge my vein in the future, then having this Half-vein Divine Power is a tremendous blessing, right?"

"Right, but if you can forge the vein, wouldn’t that be bad luck?"

"Haha, if I can forge the vein in the future, having the Cultivation of True Essence Fifth Realm now, I would have gained that Vein Forging Divine Power that the Sect Elders struggled for decades to achieve. Wouldn’t that mean I have been decades ahead of them?"

"True, but you would still have trouble smoothly forging veins because of this Half-vein Divine Power. Isn’t that still a misfortune?"

"Hey, not necessarily. Now that I have this Half-vein Divine Power early on, in the days to come, I’m sure it will earn me opportunities that might otherwise be unattainable, benefits!

Even some opportunities that are almost impossible for ordinary people could perhaps allow me to forge the vein, thanks to this very thing. Maybe this could help me complete the Half-vein Divine Power. How could that possibly be a misfortune?

No matter how you look at it, it’s all good fortune!" Ye Zhen said, smiling easily.

"You sure see it in a positive light!"

Appreciation flashed through Liao Feibai’s eyes!

"By the way, Instructor Liao, what exactly is this Half-vein Divine Power?" Ye Zhen asked.

"If I’m not mistaken, it should be ’Sword Heart Enlightenment,’ a supportive type of Vein Forging Divine Power!" Liao Feibai replied.

"’Sword Heart Enlightenment,’ a supportive type of Vein Forging Divine Power?"

"Actually, Vein Forging Divine Power is a unique form of Martial Art, but it’s more powerful and defying than regular Martial Skills.

Martial Artists categorize Vein Forging Divine Power into supportive, offensive, defensive, and speed types, and within each type, there are several subcategories.

This Sword Heart Enlightenment—belonging to a supportive Sword Vein Divine Power—exactly what it entails, you’ll know once your Cultivation advances to that stage."

"Oh!"

Ye Zhen drew out a long "Oh", "So what is the main function of this Sword Heart Enlightenment?"

"It enhances all aspects of your Sword Dao!

Whether it’s the speed of Sword Technique cultivation, the power of the Sword Techniques, or even your understanding and realization of the Sword Dao intent, once you master this Sword Heart Enlightenment Divine Power, all these aspects will improve," Liao Feibai explained.

"No wonder, after the inheritance, a casual use of Winter Plum Intent combined with Winter Plum Swordsmanship, I could slay an Early-stage Spirit Summoning Realm Martial Artist.

And it feels like many incomprehensible parts of the Winter Plum Swordsmanship suddenly became clear."

Pausing for a moment, Ye Zhen then asked, "By the way, Instructor Liao, what about that powerful Sword Light I unleashed when I focused my Divine Sense on this Sword Vein Divine Power?"

"That Sword Light, that is your Origin Sword Vein formed by mastering this Sword Heart Enlightenment Divine Power, remember, even though the Origin Sword Vein is powerful, you should use it sparingly in the future," Liao Feibai warned.

"Why?"

"Because this Sword Vein Divine Power wasn’t forged by you, but inherited. You don’t have a corresponding comprehension and recognition.

So, until you gain the appropriate Sword Dao comprehension and complete this Sword Vein Divine Power, the power of this Origin Sword Vein will decrease with each use."

Ye Zhen nodded, but he wasn’t really convinced; he remembered that there were at least thirty to forty thousand strands of this Origin Sword Vein merged into his body on that day using a little wouldn’t matter. However, Liao Feibai’s next words made Ye Zhen sideline that idea.

"Your Sword Vein Divine Power is entirely constructed from this Origin Sword Vein power; each time you use some of it, the power of your Sword Vein Divine Power decreases. If its might diminishes in the future, don’t say I didn’t warn you..."

Throughout the journey, Ye Zhen kept asking questions, and Liao Feibai patiently answered, enlightening him on many previously unclear matters, resulting in substantial gains!

Even carrying two people, Liao Feibai’s flying speed was still incredibly fast; a nearly two thousand miles distance was covered in just two hours.

"Let’s go directly to Fairy Peak to find Caiyi. These past few days, that girl has been constantly talking about you! Ah, Ye Zhen, let me ask, during the time you stayed at Fairy Peak, did you and Caiyi..." Liao Feibai hinted with a wink.

Ye Zhen was instantly stunned.

This Instructor Liao is too... brazen, right?

Originally, this was a topic between two men, but now coming from a stunning beauty, it’s really...

Ye Zhen hurriedly denied it.

"Cut it out, you’re still pretending. I’ve known Caiyi for seven or eight years, and I’ve never seen her care so much about anyone..."

"It’s really not like that!" Ye Zhen, questioned by Liao Feibai, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Really not?"

Ye Zhen nodded seriously.

"Then you’re really incompetent, to have lived with Caiyi at the Fairy Peak ,sometimes drinking a little wine, you could..."

Ye Zhen felt utterly chilled by this conversation. Was this still Caiyi’s good sister?

Ye Zhen, shivering from the cold, did not notice the flicker of odd light that momentarily passed over Liao Feibai’s eyes.

Returning to Fairy Peak with Liao Feibai, the sight they encountered made Ye Zhen somewhat displeased.

Atop Fairy Peak, Fan Chuyu was holding a large bouquet of flowers and a delicate gift box, circling around Caiyi.

"Caiyi, today is your birthday. I specifically picked a hundred types of fresh flowers to give you and even booked at the Immortal Wilderness Inn in Black Water King’s City," said Fan Chuyu with a fawning expression, holding the bouquet and gift.

What pleased Ye Zhen was that despite Fan Chuyu’s closeness, Caiyi seemed rather displeased.

"Today is Caiyi’s birthday?" Ye Zhen, still in midair, asked Liao Feibai.

"Yes."

Suddenly, the sound of strong wind tearing through the sky caught Caiyi’s attention. She looked up and saw Liao Feibai and Ye Zhen speeding back.

In an instant, the frown that had previously marred Caiyi’s brow smoothed into a radiant smile that lit up her cheeks as she soared to greet them.

"Elder Sister Liao, Ye Zhen, you’re back!" While greeting Liao Feibai, Caiyi’s gaze was fixed entirely on Ye Zhen. "Why did it take you so long? Is everything okay?"

"What do you mean, okay? Your lover here almost turned into an idiot!" Liao Feibai joked.

Shocked, Caiyi, disregarding Liao Feibai’s teasing about her lover, quickly said, "Your divine soul is damaged again? Didn’t I tell you before? Quick, let me go prepare some Ning Shen Liquid for you...."

Ye Zhen laughed heartily, a feeling he could hardly describe bubbling up in his heart....

In the midst of Liao Feibai’s teasing, Caiyi finally caught on and started playfully tussling with Liao Feibai, much to the chagrin and embarrassment of Fan Chuyu below holding the flowers and gifts.

After a while, Liao Feibai, Ye Zhen, and Caiyi finally descended from the sky, only for Fan Chuyu to circle back to them like a persistent piece of adhesive tape.

"Caiyi, look, it’s almost time. We should get going.

Today, to celebrate my birthday, I’ve booked an entire floor at the Immortal Wilderness Inn, arranged friends, and ordered music and dances to celebrate your birthday. I’ve also prepared a gift that matches you perfectly. If we don’t leave now, it’ll be late..." Fan Chuyu pressed.

Upon hearing this, the previously bright smile on Caiyi’s face instantly sank and turned frosty.

"Senior Brother Fan, how many times have I told you? I don’t want to go, and I don’t wish to go...."

Fan Chuyu’s face suddenly turned particularly ugly.

Just when Fan Chuyu was unable to save face, Liao Feibai suddenly spoke up, "You booked an entire floor at the Immortal Wilderness Inn?"

"Yes!" Fan Chuyu nodded repeatedly.

"Randomly?"

"Of course!" Fan Chuyu thumped his chest with a resounding slap, "Since it’s for Caiyi’s birthday, how could I be stingy!"

"Caiyi, the dishes at the Immortal Wilderness Inn are sold by spirit crystals!

The cheapest dish, Cold Platter of Hundred Demon Spirits Sinew, costs half a low-grade spirit crystal per portion. I, your sister, am quite tempted by it but usually can’t bring myself to splurge. Today, since someone is treating generously, why not take your sister along to enjoy it?" Liao Feibai coaxed, wiggling Caiyi’s arm.

Caiyi was the type of girl with strong convictions, and even Liao Feibai’s cajoling left her unconvinced.

"Elder Sister Liao, I really don’t want to go, why don’t I treat you another day...."

"Your little stash wouldn’t even be enough to feed me!"

"Elder Sister Liao, I...."

Just as Caiyi was about to refuse, Liao Feibai’s eyes twinkled. She glanced at Ye Zhen and whispered to Caiyi, "Caiyi, you don’t know how much suffering Ye Zhen has endured this past month!

He’s been eating wind and sleeping in the dew, injured numerous times and nearly became an idiot, severely depleting his body.

The dishes at the Immortal Wilderness Inn made from demon beasts and spirit grass are wonderfully restorative. They’re said to be even more effective than pills...."

Ye Zhen’s eyes instantly widened. Who said his body was severely depleted?

Even though Liao Feibai spoke in a hushed tone, both Ye Zhen and Fan Chuyu heard everything clearly.

Fan Chuyu’s expression also changed, thinking it would be worse if Caiyi agreed because of this reason than not going at all.

He was also frustrated, having hoped to make one final effort to win Caiyi’s heart while Ye Zhen was away, but she didn’t give him the slightest chance.

And yet, before he had any success, Ye Zhen had returned.

"What are you still thinking about? Ye Zhen really needs a good tonic...."

Under Liao Feibai’s continuous persuasion, Caiyi finally nodded in agreement, "Then... let’s go."

Upon hearing this, Fan Chuyu’s face darkened.

"Eh, what’s with that look on your face? Can’t you afford to treat Caiyi to a meal? If you can’t afford it, why pester her incessantly?"

Liao Feibai’s fierce outbreak left Fan Chuyu flushed with embarrassment.

"Alright, alright, let’s go!"

After serving Meng Xiaoyue a bowl of Ning Shen Liquid, Liao Feibai and Caiyi, along with Ye Zhen, took off with Fan Chuyu towards Black Water King’s City.

Watching Caiyi holding hands with Ye Zhen, Fan Chuyu’s face grew darker and darker.

What the hell is happening here?

Celebrating Caiyi’s birthday turned into compensating for Ye Zhen’s losses?

"Hmph, lad, don’t think my Fan Chuyu’s meal is easy to eat. Wait and see, you’ll regret it," a sullen Fan Chuyu sneered solemnly. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com, your support motivates me greatly. Mobile users can read on m.qidian.com.)
