Chapter 195: Nascent Soul Is My Disguise, I Possess A Pair Of Divine Tools
Although Xie Yanning’s cultivation had dropped by an entire major realm, she was still in the Void Refinement Stage, and thus could sense that the dragon not only had difficult-to-heal physical injuries but had also suffered severe trauma to its divine soul.
Most importantly, this dragon had no cultivation.
As far as Xie Yanning knew, both the Second Generation Divine Race and the Third Generation Divine Race were in the Golden Core Stage from birth, making it impossible for them to have no cultivation, unless something happened to them later.
Ming Zhaoshuang did not intend to hide it from Xie Yanning: “You must have heard about the divine artifact appearing in the Third Heaven more than three months ago. It was he who dug out his own ribs to make a divine artifact for me at that time.”
Speaking, Ming Zhaoshuang opened her left palm, and the Mountain River Brush appeared in her palm, which surprised Xie Yanning again.
Xie Yanning considered herself not to be a person of limited knowledge, but today she had been frequently astonished by Ming Zhaoshuang. Ancient ferocious beasts, Talisman Saint Talismans, Innate Dual Spirit Roots, and even the Dragon Race and divine artifacts – how could this not be amazing?
It was no wonder that she, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, dared to rescue her from two Mahayana cultivators.
Ming Zhaoshuang continued: “He lost all his cultivation at that time, and even for artifact refining, he could only borrow spiritual power from me. He also endured fifty-three Nirvana Heavenly Thunders, which led to him becoming this way.”
“The rabbit in your hand can at least eat and defecate, and can act cute for you, but my dragon can only slumber. I have no way to help it.”
Ming Zhaoshuang’s voice deepened.
Xie Yanning, however, said: “Perhaps, you are not necessarily worse than me.”
Ming Zhaoshuang’s eyelashes trembled. Xie Yanning continued: “A Zhou died and his soul scattered, his whereabouts unknown, leaving only a wisp of divine soul to drift within his True Body. But your dragon’s divine soul is only injured, and its body is severely wounded, forcing it into a coma. If its divine soul can be repaired and its body healed, it might be able to wake up again.”
“But for A Zhou, unless the Soul Guiding Lamp from the Artificing Saint is used to return his soul, there will be no other chance.”
Everyone knew that after the Artificing Saint forged the Soul Guiding Lamp, he died in shock.
The Soul Guiding Lamp’s whereabouts were also unknown.
Ming Zhaoshuang said: “I naturally understand, but healing his divine soul and body will likely not be a task for a single day.”
Seeing her low spirits, Xie Yanning could not help but comfort her: “I am not too sure about the body, but if it’s the divine soul, there are ways in the Demon Realm.”
“When I came to the Demon Realm, I inquired about news, saying that their Gui Xuan Merchant Guild will hold an auction in a few days, with abundant auction items, including Nine-Orifice Lotus Root Silk.”
The Nine-Orifice Lotus is a treasure everywhere. The lotus seed heart can break through realms, the lotus petal can heal the body, and the lotus root silk is a great treasure for nourishing the divine soul.
With it, no matter how severe the divine soul trauma, it can be compensated.
However, its price is likely not something Ming Zhaoshuang can afford. After all, although she is the Eldest Young Lady of the Ming Family and can roam freely in the Lower Realm, in the Demon Realm, she is somewhat outmatched.
Of course, if there is hope, Ming Zhaoshuang will naturally not let it go.
She said: “Originally, I saved you because I wanted to send you back as soon as possible, but now it seems I may have to stay in the Demon Realm for a few more days. This way, I will draw a Teleportation Array to send you to the Upper Cultivation World first. You should know how to get from Setting Sun Mountain Range to the Sword Sect, right?”
The Teleportation Array in Qingyun Tower had not yet been activated, but it was not suitable for Xie Yanning to stay in the Demon Realm for long.
Xie Yanning said: “As long as I am teleported to the Upper Realm, there will be no problem.”
“However,” Xie Yanning frowned slightly: “Your cultivation seems to be only at the Nascent Soul Stage. Drawing a Teleportation Array requires at least a Deity Transformation Stage cultivator, doesn’t it?”
Unless one possesses the Spiritually Connected Sacred Body, it is absolutely impossible to draw formations across realms.
Xie Yanning even suspected that even an ordinary Spiritually Connected Sacred Body would not be able to draw something that a Deity Transformation Stage cultivator can draw at the early Nascent Soul stage, given that it spans an entire major realm.
Ming Zhaoshuang said rather boastfully: “That is for the mediocre. For a peerless heavenly prodigy like me, it is a simple matter.”
She tilted her chin slightly, making Xie Yanning smile.
Xie Yanning asked: “Are you perhaps a Spiritually Connected Sacred Body?”
While she said this, Xie Yanning could also perceive that Ming Zhaoshuang had no aura of a Spirit-Connecting Bone, so she should not be a Spiritually Connected Sacred Body.
Perhaps she was just teasing her, as Xie Yanning also did not believe that she could do such a thing across levels.
She felt that Ming Zhaoshuang was just being young and reckless.
But Ming Zhaoshuang smiled, took out the Mountain River Brush, her eyes full of triumphant joy, which surprised Xie Yanning again: “You guessed right, I am a Spiritually Connected Body.”
Xie Yanning was confused: “But you have no Spirit-Connecting Bone.”
Ming Zhaoshuang held her brush and drew the formation: “Acquired.”
Xie Yanning: “You are an Acquired Spiritually Connected Sacred Body!”
Ming Zhaoshuang: “Yes.”
“???” Xie Yanning could no longer hold back and said: “You mean, you not only have Innate Dual Spirit Roots, but also possess a Divine Beast, a Divine Artifact, and Talismans from the Talisman Saint Wei Shuo, and now you are also an Acquired Spiritually Connected Body!”
As the Senior Sister of the Sword Sect, Xie Yanning was not someone who had never seen the world, but Ming Zhaoshuang’s equipment and talent were truly astonishing.
Before meeting Ming Zhaoshuang, Xie Yanning had met many geniuses.
But at that time, they all called her a genius.
After all, Xie Yanning possessed an Innate Fire Spiritual Root, a spiritual root that excelled in both sword practice and artifact refining.
The Sword Sect had abundant resources, and she had many Magical Artifacts. Taking her own long sword as an example, named Qingyan, it was a High-Grade Heaven Grade Spirit Tool. The Golden Jade Rotten Cotton Technique she just used was a Low-Grade Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique, and her usual Sword Technique was a High-Grade Heaven Grade Sword Technique.
Xie Yanning believed that the resources she received were absolutely top-tier. After all, besides the Sword Sect, what other sect could be so wealthy and provide her with resources comparable to Heaven Grade?
As a result, after meeting Ming Zhaoshuang, she understood what it meant to be a mere dabbler in comparison.
Now, Xie Yanning was truly curious about what kind of sect the Ming Ye Sect was, to be able to casually produce Divine Artifacts and Divine Beasts.
As the saying goes, true boasting is unintentional boasting.
Just like now, Ming Zhaoshuang looked up from the half-drawn formation and said very calmly to Xie Yanning: “Is this very surprising? I also practice Talisman and Sword Dual Cultivation.”
“!!!” Xie Yanning: “What other surprises are there that I don’t know about?”
Ming Zhaoshuang raised her hand, summoned Fushuang, and smiled slightly: “My Nascent Soul stage is a disguise. I have a pair of Divine Artifacts.”
Xie Yanning: “……”
Tears of envy were about to flow from her mouth.
Suddenly, Ming Zhaoshuang seemed to recall something, raised her hand again, swayed the Di Shi Qing Bracelet on her wrist, and asked: “Do you recognize this? It seems to be a Divine Artifact too, but I don’t know how to use it.”
Xie Yanning: “……”
“Once upon a time, a sincere invitation from the Ming Ye Sect was placed before me, and I did not cherish it. Only when I lost it did I deeply regret it. There is no greater pain in this world than this. If heaven were to give me another chance, I would definitely say three words to that girl: I do.”
Xie Yanning glanced at the bracelet, and finally shook her head, saying: “I don’t recognize it, but the aura on it is roughly that of a Divine Artifact.”
Ming Zhaoshuang sighed: “This was given to me by the Demon Lord Feng Budu. Her attitude towards me is very strange. I don’t know if she wants to harm me or protect me.”
“Demon Lord Feng Budu?”
Xie Yanning pondered for a moment, then her brows relaxed: “She should be protecting you. After all, Feng Budu has always been decisive and forthright. If she wanted to kill you, there would be no need to give you a Divine Artifact.”
Ming Zhaoshuang thought the same. She even felt that Feng Budu’s feelings for Feng He might be more than just hatred.
There was something even deeper.
However, she could not discern it, nor would she dare to use this bracelet carelessly.
