Chapter 133: It’s Over, I Broke My Promise!
Ming Zhaoshuang said helplessly, “You already said that apart from Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, no one can help him awaken his spirit root. Heavenly Secrets Pavilion holds a significant position in the Upper Realm. With my current strength, how can I contact them?”
She couldn’t even ascend to the Upper Realm, yet she was supposed to help Lord Si awaken his spirit root.
Anyway, Si Yuyan is living quite well now, and she doesn’t need to badger him about being the legendary Wisdom Spirit Root, lest he become too worried to eat or sleep.
The System said, “You don’t have the strength to contact them, but I do. I am a cheat! A cheat! Do you know the correct way to use a cheat!”
Ming Zhaoshuang frowned, “Then I won’t get any benefits from helping him awaken his spirit root. He’s not a female supporting character, is he?”
Si Yuyan didn’t even appear in the original text; he was obviously not an important character.
Upon hearing this, the System immediately said, “Who says there are no benefits… Wait, you tricked me!”
Ming Zhaoshuang waved her hand in the sea of consciousness with a roguish expression, “Just tell me if you’ll give me benefits or not. If you don’t give me benefits, I’m unwilling to be a good person.”
The System was speechless, silent, hesitant, and pained.
“Fine, fine, fine. It’s my bad luck to have a host with your eight hundred schemes.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a book on talisman formations was thrown into Ming Zhaoshuang’s hand. It had the words 《 Number One Talisman Formation Under Heaven 》 written on it.
Ming Zhaoshuang was speechless, “No, why is everything ‘Number One Under Heaven’?”
The System huffed, “That’s because everyone who wrote these books is Number One Under Heaven. The previous book on sword techniques was created by Feng He Du Xian and Dragon King Ao Tian. I don’t need to tell you about their strength; they can be called the perfect couple, their dual swords combined, unrivaled in the world, invincible…”
（ To prevent people from saying the author is padding the text, the following 800 characters are omitted. It’s not that the System doesn’t want to praise them, but the System’s cultural background only allows it to fill up 800 characters. ）
Ming Zhaoshuang was tired of hearing it, “Can you talk about something important?”
“Alright,” the System pouted, “This book was created by Talisman Saint Wei Shuo. It records hundreds of talismans and formations, big and small, and is very precious. I originally intended to give it to you after you rescued Cheng Zhaoyang, but looking at Cheng Zhaoyang, her poisoning isn’t as deep as Shen Liqian’s. As long as she remains like this, this side quest is basically stable.”
“So, I’ll give you this book first. However, I’ll say this upfront: I’m only responsible for providing the book. How much you can understand from it is up to you.”
Ming Zhaoshuang curved her lips and picked up the book, “No problem.”
She was a Postnatal Spiritually Connected Sacred Body, appearing only three times in a hundred thousand years. Could she not understand this book?
As soon as Ming Zhaoshuang picked up the book, a jade pendant appeared in her hand.
The System said, “This jade pendant can connect to Heavenly Secrets Pavilion from any region. However, your cultivation is low, so it might consume all of your spiritual power for three or four people.”
Ming Zhaoshuang frowned, “The Great Sui Noble Family Competition is in two days. Our spiritual power cannot be depleted too much.”
After all, the resources within the Noble Family Competition were quite generous for them, and Ming Zhaoshuang was reluctant to part with them.
The System said indifferently, “It’s the same to contact Heavenly Secrets Pavilion after the competition. Or, you can take a look. 《 Number One Talisman Formation Under Heaven 》 should contain a Spirit Gathering Formation, which can be used to gather surrounding spiritual power. If you can draw it, you won’t need to expend your own spiritual power.”
Ming Zhaoshuang was satisfied and patted her butt, leaving the sea of consciousness.
When she opened her eyes again, she found Cheng Zhaoyang and others standing in front of her, looking at her with helplessness.
Ming Zhaoshuang chased after them, her eyes bright and beautiful, and gazed fixedly at Si Yuyan:
“Lord Si, do you want to cultivate? Want to win a beautiful wife, become a Chosen One, and reach the pinnacle of life? Do you want to? Do you want to?”
Fei Changxiu poked Ming Zhaoshuang, “No, Junior Sister, are you crazy?”
How could one cultivate without a spirit root? Eat an elixir of longevity?
Si Yuyan heard this and paused, looking at Ming Zhaoshuang, his dark eyes showing a look of longing:
“Fairy Ming, what do you mean by that?”
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “I’m not pretending anymore. I’m actually an immortal hermit. I can see at a glance that Lord Si has excellent bones and is a rare cultivation genius, encountered once in a century.”
Si Yuyan asked, “Am I not of mortal flesh?”
To be honest, he had also vaguely suspected that there was something wrong with his body, but his knowledge as a mortal was limited, and he could not fully comprehend it.
But if there was even a sliver of a chance to cultivate, he would grasp it tightly!
Ming Zhaoshuang nodded and recounted what the System had told her, drawing gasps of amazement from everyone.
She finally said, “I have a way now to help Young Master Si contact Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. Do you want to leave?”
Si Yuyan asked, “Naturally, I do. But I also know that one does not receive favors without reason. If there is anything I can help Fairy Ming with, please do not hesitate to ask.”
Cheng Zhaoyang was also pleased to hear this, “A’yan and I are close friends. If there’s anything I can help you with, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “Since that’s the case, I will inform Lord Si when the time is ripe. As for the reward, someone has already paid it for you.”
Saying this, she winked at Cheng Zhaoyang, a red mole visible at the corner of her eye.
Cheng Zhaoyang pinched her cheek and smiled, “You are truly lovable.”
Cheng Zhaoyang and Si Yuyan had been friends for eight years and naturally knew his longing for cultivation.
For him to be able to enter the cultivation world through Ming Zhaoshuang, even if it was just to become an ordinary cultivator, was an unmissable opportunity for him.
Let alone entering Heavenly Secrets Pavilion in the Upper Cultivation World.
Upon returning to Cheng Manor, Ming Zhaoshuang eagerly opened the book 《 Number One Talisman Formation Under Heaven 》, smiling from ear to ear.
Only those who had drawn Wei Shuo’s talismans would understand how exquisite her talisman crafting was.
Ming Zhaoshuang had long been fed up with the ordinary talismans circulating outside, feeling that their effects were nowhere near that of Wei Shuo’s runes. Now that she finally had his runes and formation scripts, she was naturally very happy.
After reading through it, she continued until the middle of the night before feeling a hint of sleepiness.
Just as she was about to bury herself and continue sleeping, she suddenly remembered the Spirit Gathering Formation the System had mentioned. So, she decided not to sleep the rest of the night and directly took her sword to the outskirts of the city, excitedly drawing the Spirit Gathering Formation according to the patterns in the book.
Wei Shuo’s formations were, naturally, extremely complex.
Even for someone like Ming Zhaoshuang, a Postnatal Spiritually Connected Sacred Body, it took more than half the night. By the time dawn broke and her soul power was depleted, she finally finished drawing the formation.
As soon as she finished drawing it, Ming Zhaoshuang felt the surrounding spiritual light flash brightly, and countless spiritual flows surged towards her, soothing every part of her body and bringing a feeling of gentleness and peace.
The moonlight faded, and the morning sun was reborn. The warm sunlight shone on the mountains and also on Ming Zhaoshuang’s shoulder.
Her eyelids grew heavy, and she felt extremely drowsy, falling straight into a deep sleep.
In the second before she fell asleep, she suddenly remembered that she had promised Xiao Bai Bai to meet her tonight.
Damn it, she had broken her promise!
