Super Divine Daoist Skill-Chapter 90 Compensation (Request for Recommendation Tickets)
Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Compensation (Request for Recommendation Tickets)
"The Sunrise Daoist Sect could be considered a major immortal cultivation sect, advocating natural fate and having no cultivation restrictions.
But only cultivators who reached the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation could possibly pass through the Yunmiao Mountain Swamp and truly enter the mountain gate of the Sunrise Daoist Sect.
And the Yunmiao Mountain Swamp is quite distant from here, so I advise you not to entertain any illusions for a while."
The Elder Scholar said, shaking his head slightly.
Not to mention traveling through the Jianghu, crossing vast landscapes fraught with danger, but the Yunmiao Mountain Swamp alone wasn’t a place ordinary people could tread.
*Bai Ziyue currently possessed the immortal technique realm of the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation, which was quite good. However, the road to immortal cultivation became increasingly difficult; even after twenty years of bitter cultivation, he had only reached the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation Realm, partly due to a lack of talent and resources.*
*Even if Bai Ziyue’s talent was stronger than his, it was impossible to reach the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation Realm in a short time.*
"I naturally know that."
Bai Ziyue seemed calm as he uttered a sentence, but his heart was hard to conceal his disappointment.
*The distant journey meant little to him, as he had always been eager to witness the world’s landscapes and human wonders.*
*But the immortal cultivation requirement of at least the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation left him helpless, as his Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique could only be cultivated to the Fifth Layer.*
*Nonetheless, now that he knew this information, he finally had a goal.*
*No matter how difficult it might be, he was confident he would find a way to obtain it.*
"Well, it’s time for the harvest."
Sensing that his spiritual power had recovered somewhat, the Elder Scholar secretly sighed in relief; Bai Ziyue’s strength was far beyond his expectations.
"I wonder what treasures lie within this Locust Tree Spirit."
Bai Ziyue naturally sensed the other’s silent restoration of spiritual power, but he had no intention of killing to steal treasure, so he didn’t mind. Instead, he also gazed at the charred locust tree.
"Generally, when vegetation becomes refined spirits, their main body is bound to possess spiritual objects.
However, this locust tree, though large and resilient, the most essential thing for us immortal cultivators is its wood heart."
The Elder Scholar spoke, and the Golden Thread Saber appeared in his hand once more, slicing forcefully.
Deprived of the Locust Tree Spirit’s power, the tree was still tougher than ordinary wood but couldn’t resist the sharpness of the Elder Scholar’s magical artifact.
In an instant, the charred exterior of the locust tree was peeled away, and soon, the Elder Scholar extracted an arm-thick, one-foot-long dark red object from within.
This was the wood heart of the Locust Tree Spirit.
Though it contained strong spirituality, what it exuded more was a chilling aura.
Just by approaching it, Bai Ziyue felt a constant, chilling energy attack; an ordinary person exposed for long wouldn’t die but would certainly fall seriously ill.
"Due to the diversity of plant spirits and monsters, the wood hearts they form can vary. This Locust Tree Spirit belonged to Yin, thus its wood heart becomes a superior material to craft Yin Attribute Dharma Artifacts."
The Elder Scholar paused before continuing, "Originally, we agreed that I should give you one more spiritual eye technique, but at the last moment, you contributed significantly, and it was you who killed the Locust Tree Spirit...
However, the Locust Tree Spirit’s wood heart is also crucial for my journey, irreplaceable.
Thus, besides the spiritual eye technique, I wish to offer you additional compensation, what do you think?"
*The Elder Scholar still held some apprehension in his heart.*
*Considering Bai Ziyue’s strength exceeded expectations, and since he had deployed the Divine Summoning Technique, its aftereffects were obvious; even if he recovered some spiritual power, he was actually lacking in combat power, naturally afraid to proceed with the previous allocation plan.*
*Though they had a nodding acquaintance for several years, truly, there was not much trust.*
"What compensation?"
Bai Ziyue naturally understood the wood heart of the Locust Tree Spirit must be a rare treasure, but knowing its use, without the Dharma Technique to craft artifacts, it was useless—it was better to choose some practical benefits, likely more advantageous to him.
"How about this Golden Thread Saber I have? It’s a Fifteen Forbidden Dharma Artifact; you witnessed its power, capable of overwhelming ordinary Inner Cultivation Martial Artists.
But I can’t give it to you now. It’ll have to wait until we return to Qinghe Town."
The Elder Scholar said after pondering briefly, though reluctantly.
"Add that Thunder Skill to it."
Bai Ziyue suddenly spoke.
*He was indeed tempted by the Divine Summoning Technique, but knowing it was a secret of the Incense Fire Dao, he assumed the Elder Scholar wouldn’t teach it, so he didn’t mention it.*
"It can be arranged, however, I haven’t specifically recorded this skill on a Jade Scroll Eye, so it’ll take a few days to provide you with it.
Furthermore, although the Thunderfall Skill is powerful, its consumption of spiritual power is tremendously high. Even I only dared to attempt it when my strength surged through the Divine Summoning Technique.
Given your current strength, it’s unlikely you could use it soon."
The Elder Scholar thought for a moment before agreeing, giving a specific reminder at the end.
"I understand, of course."
Bai Ziyue nodded. Though the overwhelming presence of the Elder Scholar’s Thunder Skill was terrifying, he also witnessed the aftermath of its deployment.
*Without sufficient power, he naturally wouldn’t take the risk.*
Afterward, the two didn’t linger, soon departing the place, retracing their steps.
Soon, they approached the deceased large tiger; perhaps its fierce reputation persisted, as though a wolf hovered nearby, it dared not come close.
"This prey’s full value is highest, yet doing so would create too much uproar.
Let’s divide it up, extracting valuable tiger hide and bones, perhaps fetching a hundred taels of silver."
The Elder Scholar said after pondering, looking at the striped large tiger.
He didn’t mention discarding it, as though an immortal cultivator, he also needed silver to purchase many cultivation necessities, certainly not someone indifferent to food and drink.
Bai Ziyue nodded. If anything, he preferred not to attract attention.
The evolved large tiger possessed strength comparable to Inner Cultivation Martial Artists; based on his outwardly displayed power, he wasn’t its match.
Moreover, with Right Guardian Zhao Jing investigating Zhao Gangyi’s disappearance, with the sect’s power, they’d surely soon discover that besides Zhao Gangyi, Zhang Bo, newly initiated into Inner Cultivation, also went missing.
Once news spread that he slew the exotic beast large tiger, it’d be easy for him to be targeted.
After three years of slaughtering with Master Li, Bai Ziyue’s methods of handling prey were naturally exquisite.
A long saber, lightly tapping the tiger’s head, then directly corded sinew and stripped hide, almost without causing major damage, he extracted a relatively intact tiger hide.
Followed by tiger bones, tiger whip...
Soon, the cloth bags they carried were entirely filled.
