BXBX NOVEL Chapter 146: It’s Really Speciall i
Grand Venerable Bai Jie’s figure dispersed, and Ling Xi covered her face, crying. It seemed she would not stop anytime soon.
Li Cheng sighed inwardly, understanding Ling Xi’s emotions, yet he did not know how to comfort her.
He could only say, “Your father’s cultivation reaches the heavens and pierces the earth; he will be fine. Calm your heart and cultivate, and in time, you will be reunited.”
Ling Xi nodded her head, taking a long time before she could stop the tears, “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of Master.”
“Tianyuan City will soon open, and you should take a look around when you’re there. After that, I’ll take you to Devil Abyss, to claim the gift your father left for you.”
Ling Xi nodded slightly, “Thankyou, Master!”
Li Cheng nodded, his gaze shifting to a pot laying not far away, one of the three-item set originally given by Ye Chenfeng.
This pot, always in Ling Xi’s care, was used to comprehend the laws left behind by Li Cheng, and from it to understand the rules of life.
But now, he noticed the recorded laws had dissipated.
“Ling Xi, when did the laws inside this pot begin to vanish?” asked Li Cheng.
“Probably started two years ago, growing less and less until it disappeared. Unable to grasp the rules of life any longer, I had since poured all my energy into alchemy,” Ling Xi replied.
Li Cheng understood; it seemed that items from that ruined city that were capable of retaining laws could only preserve them for roughly three years.
No wonder, in this past month, there had been no counts of enlightenment coming in.
In this period, Yun Tianqiong and Qi Jingtian had gone to challenge the disciples of the Taoist Mysterious Sect, Ling Xi was absorbed in alchemy to improve her cultivation, and Lei Yuan could be disregarded.
However, it didn’t matter. Aside from the pot, the shovel, and the fire poker, Li Cheng had obtained a wine jar and eight broken bowls in the Ancient Ruins, a total of twelve items capable of carrying laws. He could wash them all with laws and hand them over to his disciples to try.
“Where are the fire poker and the shovel? I’ll redo them,” Li Cheng said.
“They have been in my possession since the elder brothers and junior brother left.” Ling Xi retrieved them.
Li Cheng took out the wine jar and the broken bowls, lining up all twelve items and activating all the laws, consecrating each one by one.
Soon, all twelve items bore six types of laws: time, space, fire, lightning, life, and death, amounting to six hundred and twenty-five paths in total.
Giving the pot and a broken bowl to Ling Xi, Li Cheng then took out twenty drops of Life Immortal Liquid and fifty Life Fruits and handed them to Ling Xi.
“These were obtained by your master from an Ancient Ruins, keep them safe.”
Ling Xi took the Life Immortal Liquid and Life Fruits, visibly startled, “Master, these are immortal items!”
“Hmm, given by the Life Divine Tree. The fruit is quite miraculous as it can give birth to spirits, but they have all spoiled and can only be used as alchemy, artifact refining materials, or as a supplement, equivalent to spirit stones,” Li Cheng said with a smile.
The husk of the Life Fruit was incredibly tough, several times harder than the trunk of a tree. Li Cheng had tried, and it took his full strength to crack one open.
However, once opened, the flesh inside was not delicious, and the life force within quickly dissipated.
It was better not to open it and directly absorb it with a cultivation technique, or use it in alchemy.
And the husks, when used in artifact refining, had effects superior to the tree trunk.
“Spirits? My father just instructed that I could visit the Elf Tribe. Master, what do spirits look like?” Ling Xi asked curiously.
Li Cheng smiled, “Indeed, the Grand Venerable is quite acquainted with the Five Elements Elf Tribe, and took many of their strong ones with him. I’ll take you to see them when you wish, and as for their appearance, you will see for yourself soon.”
“Over a hundred from the Five Elements Elf Tribe came this time, planning to explore Tianyuan City too.”
Ling Xi’s eyes lit up with anticipation, “Master, shall we go out and see those spirits?”
“Alright.”
With a trip to Tianyuan City due in no more than two days, there was no need to stay in the Universe Mystery Tower any longer.
Besides, staying in a place where time flowed differently from the outside world for too long wasn’t necessarily good.
Heading down to the next level, they found Qin Wuhun and the others. Li Cheng gave the fire poker and a broken bowl to Lei Yuan. Before Li Cheng could speak, Qin Wuhun’s eyes widened in amazement.
“Master Li, the items you give to your disciple are so unique!”
A fire poker and a broken bowl, are you sending your disciple to beg?
Hehe, just place a broken bowl on the ground, strike it with the stick, and call out a few times?
That image…
However, upon second thought, Qin Wuhun gave Li Cheng a thumbs-up, “This method is good; a cultivator should experience all facets of life!”
Li Cheng glanced at Qin Wuhun, experience my ass, this is a treasure!
Lei Yuan, seeing what Qin Wuhun was thinking, coughed lightly and said, “Senior, you’ve misunderstood. This isn’t for experiencing the vicissitudes of life; it’s for enlightenment.”
“Enlightenment?” Qin Wuhun, full of confusion, then turned to the broken bowl, “May I take a look at it?”
Lei Yuan didn’t hesitate and passed the broken bowl to Qin Wuhun.
As soon as he held the bowl, Qin Wuhun’s eyes widened, “Indeed, it’s very special!”
When he said it was special before, that’s because Qin Wuhun thought it was meant for begging.
Now he says it’s special because he sensed this item’s extraordinariness!
“With this object in hand, one can easily connect with the laws of the heavens and the earth!” Qin Wuhun exclaimed in astonishment.
How could he not know now, that this was a treasure!
Swallowing hard with some difficulty, Qin Wuhun hastily shifted his gaze to Li Cheng, “Master Li, do you have more? Could I borrow one to study for a few days?”
Feng Wanli rolled his eyes beside them, “I tell you what, shall I draw you a square in the busiest part of the Eight Cities for you to place your bowl?”
“What do you know?” Qin Wuhun said irritably.
Feng Wanli shrugged, “Last time at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, I saw Li Cheng giving his disciples pots, shovels, and fire pokers. That was Li Cheng’s way of reminding them not to forget to improve their cooking skills!”
“Now, Li Cheng gives his disciple a fire poker and a broken bowl, it’s clearly a reminder for this young fella not to forget the simple pleasures of the mundane world.”
Feng Wanli was very certain, that had to be it!
Qin Wuhun looked somewhat startled, “Old Feng, you have quite the imagination, you see. Take a look at this treasure bowl and then we’ll talk!” Treasure bowl?
Good grief, are you sucking up to Li Cheng?
You really have a way with words, turning a broken bowl into a treasure bowl!
But now that the broken bowl has been handed over, no matter what you say, you can’t be dismissive; better to play along then!
With the broken bowl floating in front of him, Feng Wanli used his Immortal Sense to sense it carefully, and in the next moment, his face drastically changed, “This is a treasure for enlightenment indeed!”
Without any hesitation, Feng Wanli quickly stepped forward to Li Cheng, “Li Cheng, look at me; all I have left now is my Immortal Infant. Could you part with this treasure bowl and lend me one? I’ll agree to any condition!”
He knew that back in the Ancient Ruins, Li Cheng had obtained eight of such bowls!
At that time, he thought Li Cheng had a hobby of collecting antiques, so he treasured the broken bowls and stored them away. Only now did he realize how wrong he was!
What antique? It was unmistakably a treasure!
“Don’t overestimate this item; its effect will last at most two or three years,” Li Cheng said with a smile.
Li Cheng wouldn’t tell them that the reason this thing could help in comprehending the Dao and sensing the laws was because he had imprinted various laws into it.
“Two or three years, that’s also quite remarkable!” Qin Wuhun said in awe.
“Exactly, Li Cheng, lend two to me and Old Qin! Whatever the condition, just say it!” Feng Wanli said cheerfully.
