BXBX NOVEL Chapter 37 - 37 Can this work?_i
Watching Shentu Feng’s expression turn solemn, Ning Qianqiu also quickly restrained the smile on his face, speaking with a hint of nervousness, “Sect Leader, I have told the truth indeed!”
At that time, he had asserted that there was no falsehood regarding the origin of that brick!
Shentu Feng shook his head, “What I want to know is, where is that Loose Immortal? We must pay a visit!”
With the discernment of a Loose Immortal, he must have recognized that the brick was a natural Array Pattern Stone, yet that Loose Immortal used it to build a stove!
How wealthy must one be to squander riches to such an extent?
There is another possibility: that Loose Immortal is a powerful Array Master, powerful enough to treat an Array Pattern Stone as trash, which is why he used it to build a stove.
Both possibilities are worth a visit from the Pill Sect!
Ning Qianqiu realized what was meant, but his face turned bitter, and he said helplessly, “At the time, I didn’t dare to ask either!”
Back then, Ning Qianqiu thought the other party used the brick as payment was a threat: if he didn’t refine pills for him, he would be killed with that brick.
Therefore, Ning Qianqiu endured the humiliation and completed the pill refining, eager for the other party to leave as soon as possible; how could he ask for an address?
Asking for an address at that time was basically the same as declaring, “Leave your address, and I’ll come to take your life someday!”
Would Ning Qianqiu dare?
Of course not, and so he did not ask.
“Sect Leader, who do you think is more accomplished in array mastery, Elder Li or this Loose Immortal?” an Elder asked curiously.
“One can casually set up an eighth-grade formation, and the other uses Array Pattern Stones to build a stove; it’s difficult to say who is stronger.”
“Let’s go back,” sighed the Sect Leader.
In front of the waterfall, Li Cheng cradled a Spirit Beast Egg in one hand, “My Spiritual Sense can’t penetrate it; I can’t see at all what kind of Spirit Beast it is.”
“Master, Sect Leader Shentu said that this came from the Immortal World; he must have been exaggerating, right?” Yun Tianqiong said.
Li Cheng nodded, thinking to himself that this was akin to saying, “This is a speciality product from the Immortal World!”
“Master, can it be hatched?” Ling Xi asked timidly.
Li Cheng saw what Ling Xi was thinking; after all, it’s normal for girls to want a pet.
But keeping a pet is not without its costs.
Not to mention the title of a poop-scooper, the waste of time is certain, and this is a Spirit Beast that would require a vast amount of resources to grow!
Considering this, Li Cheng said, “It’s difficult to hatch, and there’s no need to raise a Spirit Beast. Their growth is slow; by the time you all ascend, it will probably just be at the Divinity Transformation Stage, and then… separation…”
Li Cheng didn’t continue; separation is painful, after all.
To lessen the pain in the future, it’s better not to keep it.
Unless you can keep the kind that doesn’t require parting.
“Oh, I understand, Master,” Ling Xi said, some reluctance in her eyes, but she still obediently nodded, trusting that following her master’s advice was always right.
“It’s late at night; let’s have a midnight snack. Your cultivation is still shallow; it’s the perfect time to nourish your essence, vitality, and spirit with a Spirit Beast Egg; eat well and rest,” Li Cheng said.
As he spoke, True Fire surged, preparing to roast it to perfection.
Ling Xi hesitated to speak; after all, a Spirit Beast Egg was an invaluable treasure, but the Master was actually preparing to roast them?
Yun Tianqiong’s eyes widened in shock. Roasting a Spirit Beast Egg to replenish essence, vitality, and spirit?
He quickly turned his head to look around. This scene could not be seen by others; otherwise, it would be terrible if word got out.
In the eyes of others, a priceless treasure, yet the Master was roasting it to eat—if that got out, no one knows how many would curse the Master behind his back for squandering wealth.
Fortunately, the Eighteenth Peak was a place where no one dared to trespass wantonly, and at this time of night, no one would come.
With this thought, Yun Tianqiong let out a silent sigh of relief. Regardless, the Master was roasting the Spirit Beast Egg for their sake, so then… prepare to enjoy the deliciousness!
The True Fire enveloped the two Spirit Beast Eggs, and contrary to Li Cheng’s expectations, they showed no signs of being roasted; instead, the eggs continuously absorbed the True Fire!
“Eh? This is not a Spirit Beast Egg!” Li Cheng exclaimed in astonishment.
If it was a Spirit Beast Egg, even though it’s Fire attributed, it would be completely incapable of withstanding the True Fire of a Transcendance Tribulation Stage Complete.
“I always suspected the Pill Sect was exaggerating, it must be a Demon Beast Egg, right?” Yun Tianqiong said.
Li Cheng shook his head, “That’s not it. The Pill Sect’s people are too modest; what we have here is undoubtedly an Immortal Beast Egg!”
Uh?
Yun Tianqiong was stunned for a moment but then understood. No wonder Shentu Feng made a point of saying it was brought down from the Immortal World, it was an Immortal Beast Egg!
But Immortal Beasts are so precious, why would they gift them?
Li Cheng, sensing the changes within the two Immortal Beast Eggs, gradually broke into a smile, “So that’s it. The Pill Sect lacks the power to hatch these two Immortal Beast Eggs, so they simply gave them away.”
Even after increasing the output of True Fire, it was easily absorbed by the two Immortal Beast Eggs, as if, to them, True Fire was merely a drop in the bucket.
Yun Tianqiong and Ling Xi exchanged glances; since they couldn’t hatch nor cook them, why was their master smiling?
“Since you’re such good eaters, I’ll feed you your fill!”
Li Cheng muttered to himself, his True Yuan surged as he infused it with the Rule of Fire, pouring a torrent into the two Immortal Beast Eggs.
The power of the True Fire skyrocketed several times over, yet the two Immortal Beast Eggs still accepted it without rejection, even emanating emotions of joy!
Li Cheng was astonished. This was True Fire laden with the Rule of Fire, and yet it was still being swallowed up so ravenously?
These two Immortal Beast Eggs are anything but ordinary!
The Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame was stronger but could very likely burn their souls, so Li Cheng did not attempt it and simply continued to bake them with full force using the True Fire.
After a long time, there were no significant changes in the two Immortal Beast Eggs. At this rate, who knows when they would be hatched.
“Right now there are only two Rules of Fire. If there were more, they could certainly be hatched faster!” Li Cheng thought to himself.
“Enlightenment!”
Maintaining the baking, Li Cheng entered a state of Enlightenment.
In the Unity of Heaven and Man state, Li Cheng’s vision became an ocean of order, filled with endless Laws.
“Senior brother, master’s aura has merged with heaven and earth; it seems he is in Enlightenment?” Ling Xi spoke in a hushed tone, her eyes filled with wonder.
Yun Tianqiong nodded, “Yes, that master of ours can enter a state of Enlightenment while cooking two eggs. It’s completely beyond imagination!”
“Master’s Enlightenment is profound. It seems like he’s imparting something to us,” Ling Xi said thoughtfully.
Yun Tianqiong’s eyes lit up, “Right! Let’s attune ourselves quickly. We can’t squander master’s painstaking efforts.”
With that, the two of them carefully attuned themselves to Li Cheng’s state of Enlightenment, trying to gain insights from it.
Time passed indeterminately before Li Cheng awoke from his Enlightenment, and at that moment, two notification sounds rang in his mind.
[Your disciple Yun Tianqiong has witnessed your Enlightenment and has partly comprehended the mysteries of Sword Body, reward: 1 Enlightenment opportunity.]
[Your disciple Ling Xi has witnessed your Enlightenment and has partly comprehended the mysteries of Golden Core Realm, reward: 1 Enlightenment opportunity.]
[Current remaining Enlightenment opportunities: 16.]
Oh?
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised as he looked at his two disciples. That worked?
High comprehension truly is special, a random moment of Enlightenment could bring them insights!
Recollecting his thoughts, Li Cheng sensed his Laws and found he now had five Time Laws and four Fire Laws. This session of Enlightenment had brought considerable gains!
“Eh? How have I gained an additional Life Law?”
Just as he thought about continuing his Enlightenment, Li Cheng suddenly discovered an additional Life Law in his body, aside from the Time Law and Rule of Fire!
Could it be because of the strong life force emanating from these two Immortal Beast Eggs? Resulting in his Enlightenment of a Life Law as well?
That must be it!
Continue Enlightenment!
