Chapter 117: Wang, Please Open the Door - Part 2
After his recent enlightenment, Wen Zhixing had already gained a general understanding of the Nine-Turns Sun Sutra.
Circulate the Qi like a flying crane, draw the Qi from the depths of the sea, merge form and Qi as one...
He muttered to himself in his mind.
He hadn't even stepped inside the house when his Sea of Qi began to change.
BOOM!
The entire Sea of Qi seemed to boil over, with Spiritual Qi converting into hot steam and beginning to rise.
His body emitted scorching Yang Qi, enveloping him completely, as if he were bathing in roaring flames.
Even the Concealing Spirit Skill was rendered ineffective in an instant.
"Hm?"
Bai Luqiu, standing behind Wen Zhixing, was momentarily startled when she saw this.
Immediately, her seductive little mouth formed an 'O' shape before slowly widening...
What is this... What in the world is this!
Pure Yang Body?
Bai Luqiu's eyes widened round with disbelief. There were many in the Righteous Sun Sect full of Yang Qi, but her junior brother wasn't just full of Yang Qi.
It was overflowing!
Continuously overflowing!
At this moment, she felt as though she was looking at the sun.
So dazzling, so brilliant, making one feel a searing heat.
So that's how it is!
Bai Luqiu's body trembled, finally realizing why the Master had taken Wang Shouzhen as a disciple.
She also understood why Liu Qingdai had been so confident all along.
It turned out they all knew Wang Shouzhen was a Pure Yang Body.
CREAK!
Immersed in his cultivation, Wen Zhixing was unaware of these occurrences and simply closed the main door with a casual motion.
At the same time, he activated the shielding Array within the wooden house.
Though the wooden house was small, it was, after all, a small dwelling. For a place meant for cultivation, even if a bit dilapidated and small, it still possessed light-shielding Arrays.
Outside the house.
Bai Luqiu's ample bosom heaved unevenly.
This news was somewhat shocking to her, and her beautiful eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.
Not for any other reason but due to the cultivation skill she practiced.
Being a woman, the cultivation skill she practiced naturally differed from the others in the Righteous Sun Sect.
Her cultivation skill was called the Innate Lunar Meridian.
It was also transmitted by Liu Qingxuan.
This skill was equally extraordinary, considered top-notch in all aspects, and could be practiced by people of any constitution.
The only disadvantage was that as one cultivated to deeper levels, imbalances would arise within the body due to an excess of Yin and a deficiency of Yang.
In the end, it could even lead to Qi Deviation, a complete reversal of Yin and Yang, and ultimately, the extinguishing of life and the destruction of their Dao.
This wasn't a major issue. One merely needed a Taoist companion; achieving Yin and Yang harmony through their union would solve the problem.
Thus far in her cultivation, Bai Luqiu remained a virgin.
Without a suitable Taoist companion, she relied on her profound cultivation to suppress the latent dangers within her body.
Liu Qingxuan had also been urging her to find a suitable husband sooner rather than later.
While Bai Luqiu verbally agreed and had met several exceptional men, none ultimately caught her eye.
Having reached her current realm in cultivation, ordinary men couldn't satisfy the conditions for interaction anymore.
The moment they merged, they'd likely be sucked to death.
But if it were a Pure Yang Body...
Her gaze rested on the closed door and windows, the scorching, sun-like figure appearing in her mind's eye.
Suddenly, Bai Luqiu's heart skipped a beat, as if a cat's paw had lightly tickled it.
It was both itchy and tingling.
"So, you are called Wen Zhixing, right," Bai Luqiu murmured, toying with a strand of hair by her ear.
Her dark tresses danced in the wind, carrying a light, elegant fragrance.
「Inside the house.」
Wen Zhixing sat cross-legged, and an incredibly dense, hot Yang Qi filled the entire room.
His Sea of Qi was constantly releasing scorching heat, as if it had turned into a real sun.
His entire body was also enveloped in a mass of golden Qi-flames, radiating a dazzling golden light.
At the same time, perhaps stimulated by this, the Nine Heavens Thunder Seed within his Sea of Sense started to react as well.
RUMBLE!
A massive amount of Divine Consciousness Power gathered, eventually condensing into a thick lightning serpent that roared and tossed about in the Sea of Sense.
The devil seed at the bottom of the Sea of Sense seemed to tremble.
No longer displaying its previous arrogance.
—Afraid.JPG.
Good treasure, good cultivation skill!
Wen Zhixing couldn't help but be overjoyed in his mind.
The Nine-Turns Sun Sutra seemed tailor-made for him, and he faced virtually no obstacles in its practice.
Everything went as smoothly as flowing water.
He didn't even have to ponder too deeply and had already understood everything.
The success was unimaginable.
Closed-door cultivation! I must master the first turn before anything else!
Wen Zhixing closed his eyes again, immersing all his mind and soul into cultivation.
「Time flies like an arrow.」
Two weeks whizzed by in the blink of an eye.
[After your diligent cultivation, you have successfully broken through to the first turn of the Nine-Turns Sun Sutra!]
At this moment, Wen Zhixing's entire being radiated a dazzling crimson-gold light.
This kind of light was like that of the true sun, too brilliant to look at directly.
"Hoo..."
Wen Zhixing slowly exhaled a breath. "Withdraw!"
The light surrounding his body converged, retracting into his Sea of Qi.
And his Sea of Qi had undergone enormous changes as well.
His once ocean-like Sea of Qi now resembled a crimson-gold planet.
Terrifying energy was contained within, so intense that ordinary people couldn't even bear to approach its heat.
I've finally done it!
Wen Zhixing slightly smiled.
After reaching the first turn, the Sea of Qi underwent a huge transformation.
However, this was only a rudimentary form, not a true sun.
Wen Zhixing's strength had undergone a terrifying enhancement.
Not only his Sea of Qi, but even his Sea of Sense had undergone great changes.
Above his Sea of Sense, the once-dense black fog had become extremely thin.
Its area also expanded from its previous size of over ten measures to its current several hundred measures.
At the same time, a small sapling, wreathed in golden arcs of lightning, sprouted from within his Sea of Sense. This was the Nine Heavens Thunder Seed, transformed and nurturing this new sprout.
With more time, once this sapling matured, the entire Sea of Sense would completely transform into a thunder pool.
As for those devil seeds,
They had become extremely dim, practically invisible unless one searched for them specifically.
With the Nine Heavens Thunder Seed present, the devil seeds could no longer stir any trouble.
[Because you defied the heavens too greatly, Concealing Spirit Skill has become ineffective, an upgrade is suggested!]
Just then, a panel prompt popped up.
Even the Concealing Spirit Skill has become ineffective...
Wen Zhixing was startled, then gave a wry laugh.
That wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
That was fine. He had recently accumulated some Fortune Points, and it was time to use them.
Previously, Wen Zhixing had 113 Fortune Points in reserve.
During these two weeks, he hadn't forgotten to send out his Life Defying Blood Body to extract Fortune Points. It had harvested a total of 42 Fortune Fragments.
[Gray Fortune Fragment +32, current Gray Fortune Fragment: 32/1.]
[White Fortune Fragment +5, current White Fortune Fragment: 6/2]
[Blue Fortune Fragment +4, current Blue Fortune Fragment: 6/3]
[Golden Fortune Fragment +1, current Golden Fortune Fragment: 3/5]
This cost a total of 7 years of his life-span.
[Current life-span: 239.]
His luck wasn't terrible, considering he still managed to draw a Golden Fortune Fragment.
He also collected some White and Blue Fortune Fragments.
Was it good luck? Definitely not, as most of them were Gray Fortune Fragments.
Of course, some good items were also obtained from these fortunes.
However, they weren't of much help to Wen Zhixing. In the end, they were all converted into Fortune Points.
All the Gray Fortunes yielded 32 Fortune Points, 3 White Fortunes yielded 15 Fortune Points, and 2 Blue Fortunes yielded 100 Fortune Points.
[Fortune Points +147, current Fortune Points: 260.]
260 Fortune Points. That should be enough for an upgrade.
Wen Zhixing was quite satisfied. He had been holding off, and now he could finally spend lavishly.
[You have spent 100 Fortune Points, Concealing Spirit Skill (White Quality) is upgrading.]
[Upgrade completed, you received the secret skill: Heavenly Concealment Skill!]
[Heavenly Concealment Skill:] Blue Quality. It can conceal one's aura, disguise one's state, confound others' probing, and allow one to become invisible.
[Disadvantage:] Can only evade the probing of cultivators within the Primordial Spirit Realm.
[Spend 1,000 Fortune Points to upgrade to Purple Quality.]
...
Heavenly Concealment Skill. Not bad.
Wen Zhixing nodded, content.
He was about to upgrade another skill when a knock came from the door outside.
"Junior Brother Wang, please open the door."
A familiar, soft voice came through.
Wen Zhixing frowned slightly, and with a thought, his aura was once again retracted.
This voice... it sounds like... Hua Yourong.
CREAK.
Wen Zhixing opened the door, only to see several figures standing behind Hua Yourong.
One of them, he even recognized.
"Shen Lingjun?"
Wen Zhixing was taken aback.
