Chapter 167: Junior Brother, Please Help Me Remove the Hidden Ailment_2
After some teasing, Wen Zhixing compared the two Blazing Gold Quality cultivation skills he possessed.
The emphasis of each was different.
The Nine-turns Sun Sutra focused on cultivating Spiritual Qi, while the Fortune Divine Devil Skill placed more emphasis on enhancing the cultivator's divine soul origin.
The focus of each was distinct.
Ah, both are good things, but unfortunately, there's simply too much to cultivate.
Wen Zhixing suddenly felt somewhat helpless.
He now understood what it meant to bite off more than one could chew. The things he was cultivating were indeed too many. The Nine-turns Sun Sutra, Fortune Divine Devil Skill, Turtle and Crane Longevity Skill—just the cultivation skills alone were numerous. But he had to practice them all. He couldn't give up on any of them. Previously, he also spent time on weapon refinement and Puppet Skill, not to mention the secret skills he had acquired before. Each one was useful.
Fortunately, Wen Zhixing's talent for comprehension was now extremely strong, far surpassing that of ordinary geniuses. If it were anyone else, even if they wanted to cultivate, they couldn't possibly cultivate so many cultivation skills and secret skills at the same time.
Next time, I need to further enhance my comprehension. Wen Zhixing was very greedy. He didn't want to give up anything. If that was the case, then the only option was to enhance comprehension.
He now possessed a Blue Quality "Peerless Comprehension," and to upgrade it next, he would need a thousand Fortune Points.
Wen Zhixing formulated a plan in his heart. Next, I need to give up on acquiring some things and focus solely on obtaining Fortune Points. He already had many Divine Abilities, secret skills, and cultivation skills. He was almost unable to learn or use them all. Considering this, apart from some extremely favorable options, I'll exchange everything else for Fortune Points. I'll upgrade my comprehension first.
「A short while later.」
The two returned to the small courtyard. In such a short amount of time, Murong Fenghua naturally hadn't returned.
"Junior Brother, how did it go?" Bai Luqiu asked with concern.
"It's all right now, Senior Sister. You've been working hard these past few days." Wen Zhixing's state had completely recovered to how it was initially.
"It was no trouble, as long as you're fine," Bai Luqiu shook her head, then immediately asked, "By the way, Junior Brother, how has your progress been these past few days? Qingdai—"
"Senior Sister, don't worry; I've already located Junior Sister's position," Wen Zhixing said with a smile.
"You found her!" Bai Luqiu's eyes brightened with joy. "Then let's quickly—"
"Senior Sister, please be patient," Wen Zhixing shook his head and said, "That place is a Cave of Fortune, existing in a different space from the Wonderous Palace. It's similar to our sect's Devil Sealing Cave, meaning there's almost no possibility of forcefully entering. It's very difficult to get in."
"This…" Bai Luqiu, doused with a bucket of cold water, frowned immediately. "Is there really no way?"
Wen Zhixing then explained, "Now we can only wait for either Si Nanyan or Feng Ruoli to come out of seclusion. They must surely have the ability to open it."
"This Si Nanyan is really cautious," Bai Luqiu sat down, displaying a look of annoyance.
"However, it's not definite. Perhaps Yun Xinyue can also open the Cave of Fortune, though the chances are slim," Wen Zhixing pondered and added.
"Is that why you asked her to come find you at night?" Bai Luqiu revealed an expression of sudden realization.
So that's what Junior Brother meant. I knew it; Junior Brother isn't that kind of lascivious person.
"Yes," Wen Zhixing nodded. Indeed, that was part of his plan.
"By the way, Junior Brother, Zhang Tiancheng…" Bai Luqiu looked at Wen Zhixing, seemingly hesitant to speak.
"Senior Sister, what do you want to say?" Wen Zhixing's interest was piqued upon hearing Zhang Tiancheng's name, and he turned to smile at her.
"Sigh, I already know about Zhang Tiancheng's matter…" Bai Luqiu's expression turned serious.
"What do you know?" Wen Zhixing's smile faded upon hearing this.
It seems Bai Luqiu has discovered Zhang Tiancheng's Puppet Body.
"Zhang Tiancheng has already told me everything. I'm fully aware that Mu Yunqing turned him into a puppet. I will also report to the Master about Zhang Tiancheng secretly harming fellow sect members," Bai Luqiu spoke slowly, her expression carrying a trace of guilt. Mu Yunqing was a direct disciple of the Righteous Sun Sect, yet he was secretly committing these acts. She, as Mu Yunqing's senior sister, had failed in her duty of oversight.
"Senior Sister, do you truly believe that all this is true?" Wen Zhixing gazed directly at Bai Luqiu.
Mu Yunqing's position isn't ordinary. And his relationship with Bai Luqiu should also be quite good...
"Junior Brother, you worry too much. As your Senior Sister, I naturally have my own judgment, and your Master is certainly not senile." Seeing this, Bai Luqiu stepped forward, her slender white hands taking hold of Wen Zhixing's large hand.
"Senior Sister, I understand." Wen Zhixing's expression relaxed slightly upon hearing this. The warmth coming from her hand seemed to convey Bai Luqiu's stance as well.
He just feared that the Righteous Sun Sect would not deal with Mu Yunqing. After all, who would easily give up on such a talent? Some mistakes, if they can be covered up, are simply covered up. But he didn't want to dwell on that now. If the Righteous Sun Sect did not deal with Mu Yunqing, he would personally eliminate him in the future.
"By the way, Senior Sister, how is Zhang Tiancheng doing now?"
"Junior Brother, rest assured, Zhang Tiancheng has already freed himself from Mu Yunqing's control," Bai Luqiu replied. She then recounted the conversations she'd had with Zhang Tiancheng over the past few days.
"By the way, Senior Sister," Wen Zhixing said, having suddenly remembered more details, "Wen Miner is not dead." She's now cultivating the Fortune Divine Devil Skill and plans to use Ning Shan's identity to get close...
"What? Not dead?" Bai Luqiu was taken aback. This was indeed an unexpected surprise.
"Yes."
"That's great." A look of joy appeared on Bai Luqiu's face. Wen Miner... she was quite remarkable back then.
"By the way, there's one more thing. Si Nanyan also implanted devil seeds in several others from our sect. I don't know if they can still be saved." Wen Zhixing thought of Shen Lingjun and the others. He didn't have much of a relationship with Shen Lingjun, but since they were all from the Righteous Sun Sect, he naturally couldn't stand idly by.
There are others...? Bai Luqiu's face immediately darkened, then she said, "If it is a first-order devil seed, there is still a glimmer of hope. It takes at least half a month for a first-order devil seed to completely incubate and consume the original owner's divine soul."
Half a month? That still gives us some time, but it's also approaching rapidly. Wen Zhixing calculated in his mind.
"Senior Sister, if we save them, is there a way to prevent exposing that the devil seeds have been destroyed?" Wen Zhixing asked, frowning. To save Shen Lingjun and the others, the devil seeds must be completely eradicated. But this would be quite troublesome.
This... Bai Luqiu also considered this issue. Shen Lingjun and the others' Sea of Sense hadn't undergone the same kind of mutations as theirs had, which allowed them to forcibly suppress the devil seeds. If Shen Lingjun and the others were exposed, then she and Wen Zhixing would also be implicated.
"Junior Brother, I actually have a method." After being silent for a while, Bai Luqiu finally spoke slowly. But her cheeks quietly blushed with a touch of red.
"Oh? What method?" Wen Zhixing's eyes brightened, not noticing Bai Luqiu's unusual expression.
"Cough... the solution is for me to break through to the Sixth Realm," Bai Luqiu coughed lightly, speaking with her head lowered.
"Breakthrough to the Sixth Realm!" Wen Zhixing was shocked.
Wow, Senior Sister Bai Luqiu is also about to break through to the Divine Communication Realm? These people... every single one of them is so formidable!
"Congratulations, Senior Sister!" Wen Zhixing hurriedly offered his congratulations, only to see Bai Luqiu silent with her head lowered. He felt something was amiss and said, "Senior Sister, what's... wrong with you?"
"Nothing... much..." Bai Luqiu looked up, her gaze somewhat evasive.
"Senior Sister, could it be that there is some problem?" Wen Zhixing understood. This breakthrough seems to be somewhat risky.
Bai Luqiu shook her head upon hearing this, then nodded.
This left Wen Zhixing a bit puzzled. So, is it possible or not?
"Senior Sister, you..."
Just then, Bai Luqiu's eyes became resolute. Her teeth gently bit her thin lips as she said, "Junior Brother, your Senior Sister has a favor to ask."
"Senior Sister, with the relationship between us, there's no need for such formality. If you need something, I will naturally help," Wen Zhixing declared, patting his chest with force.
Saying that makes it sound so formal, doesn't it? Senior Sister Bai Luqiu has been good to him; helping her out is a small matter, very simple indeed.
"Junior Brother, my body harbors a concealed ailment," Bai Luqiu lowered her head again, her eyes still carrying a hint of evasion.
