Chapter 258: Her Spirit-connecting Bone Was Probably Taken By Qin Feilong! 【 Foreshadowing 】
It appears that Qin Feilong did not deliberately come to the lower realm, but rather came to survive after being pursued by Feng Budu, which is why he received top-tier resources as soon as he arrived at the Sword Sect.
Ming Zhaoshuang immediately asked, “Has Senior Brother Qin never been to the Upper Realm?”
Qin Du pondered, “He has. When his cultivation regressed, I sought help from the Upper Realm. He stayed at the Sword Sect for a few days, but when he returned, he had no recollection of anything he did in the Upper Realm.”
“He only knew he had a mother named Chunxi.”
Ming Zhaoshuang raised her eyes and suddenly said, “Uncle Qin, have you ever considered that Chunxi approached you precisely to give birth to Senior Brother Qin?”
After all, everyone knows that the Ao Tian Sect once harbored the essence blood of the Dragon King Ao Tian, and by inheriting it, one could obtain the bloodline of the Dragon Race, something all cultivators would eagerly seek.
Qin Du was startled, and after a long while, he said, “I have indeed thought about that, but no one has ever managed to refine the drop of essence blood left by our Old Ancestor. Moreover, not all of us in the Qin family are qualified to refine essence blood.”
Only those who have used their cultivation to worship the statue of Feng He are qualified to refine essence blood, and this physique that can offer cultivation is not something every generation of every Qin family member can possess.
Even if Chunxi came for Qin Feilong, she couldn’t guarantee that Qin Feilong was the one with the qualification to refine essence blood, nor could she guarantee that Qin Feilong would definitely be able to refine the Dragon King’s essence blood.
Therefore, Qin Du dismissed this reason.
Ming Zhaoshuang, however, said, “The Sword Sect is, after all, the foremost sect in the Upper Realm, with a history spanning a hundred thousand years. It’s not impossible for them to have some means.”
Qin Du shook his head and said, “That’s impossible. The union of Yin and Yang, the ultimate dao of heaven and earth, is not something that can be interfered with by humans. That she, a Mahayana Stage cultivator, could give birth to Little Dragon with me in just one night is already incredibly astonishing. If she could also manipulate Little Dragon’s physique, then the Sword Sect would truly be defying heaven.”
While the Sword Sect is powerful, it cannot be so powerful as to interfere with the Heavenly Dao.
If the Sword Sect could ensure that someone as powerful as Chunxi could give birth every night, then with such a bloodline inheritance, it wouldn’t just be the Upper Realm, but the entire Thirty-Six Heavens would belong to the Sword Sect.
Feng Budu also said, “That’s impossible. Even I cannot guarantee that I would have a child after sleeping with a man, let alone guarantee that the child would be chosen by the Dragon King and refine essence blood.”
Ming Zhaoshuang was surprised by Feng Budu’s bold statement and was momentarily choked, asking, “Senior Sister, you’ve slept with a man?”
Feng Budu replied, “No, it’s dirty.”
Ming Zhaoshuang: “……”
Then why could you say that so confidently?
Regardless of what Feng Budu said, her meaning was clear: she herself did not possess such great ability, and the Sword Sect could not possibly have such great ability either.
However, Ming Zhaoshuang remained skeptical. After all, Qin Feilong was backed by the Heavenly Dao, and perhaps it was the Heavenly Dao that guided the Sword Sect to commit such a depraved and shameless act.
Feng Budu suddenly turned her head to look at her and said, “You’re only thirteen, don’t let men cloud your eyes. Men are all bad.”
Feng Budu spoke quite earnestly, causing Ming Zhaoshuang to choke again.
She coughed for a while before replying, “I say, Senior Sister, you haven’t slept with a man…”
Qin Du coughed lightly, signaling Ming Zhaoshuang that as a child, she shouldn’t be talking about men and sleeping around, as it was immodest and shameless.
However, he also agreed with Feng Budu’s sentiment. Ming Zhaoshuang was young and inexperienced; what if she was deceived by some scoundrel? It was better to simply scold all men as bad.
Ming Zhaoshuang immediately changed her tune, “You’ve never been in love, so how do you know that no man is good?”
Feng Budu said righteously, “It’s so dirty, I disdain it.”
Ming Zhaoshuang chuckled twice, finding her Senior Sister, despite her immense strength and unreasonable nature, to possess a certain genuine cuteness.
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “Then I can only take Senior Sister’s teachings to heart. I will not be easily deceived by any man, and I will cultivate diligently and improve every day!”
Feng Budu and Qin Du nodded after hearing her words.
Xie Yanning: “???”
Wasn’t she already deceived by Ming Zhaoxue?
But that’s true. Strictly speaking, Ming Zhaoxue isn’t exactly a man, but rather a male dragon. Ming Zhaoshuang isn’t wrong.
After her digression, Ming Zhaoshuang returned to the main topic.
She continued to ask, “Uncle Qin, do you know that I was missing an arm previously?”
Qin Du frowned, “When did that happen? I’ve never heard of it.”
Ming Zhaoshuang sighed, understanding that Qin Du could likely only know so much.
She then asked, “Do you know if Senior Brother Qin is a Spiritually Connected Sacred Body in both Talisman Arts and Artifact Refining?”
Qin Du vehemently denied, “When I was enlightening Little Dragon before, I never saw any trace of Spirit-Connecting Bone… However, Little Dragon does seem to be a Talisman Master and an Artificer.”
Moreover, he can draw talismans by Talisman Saint Wei Shuo. Such talent is enviable.
Only an Acquired Spirit Body can cultivate two paths simultaneously. Therefore, Qin Du always thought Qin Feilong was merely close to reaching the Acquired Spirit Body state. However, his cultivation was limited; seeing through the Spirit-Connecting Bone requires at least a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivation, so he couldn’t see it yet.
But when he was enlightening Qin Feilong previously, the Sword Sect had sent people down who all stated that Qin Feilong had no traces of a Spirit-Connecting Bone, and he was just an ordinary Peak Grade Gold Spirit Root.
Qin Du said, “Perhaps Little Dragon is an Acquired Spirit Body, which is why he is like this.”
Ming Zhaoshuang shook her head, “Uncle Qin, I am an Acquired Spirit Body. Senior Brother Qin is different from me. The talismans I can draw, he might not be able to draw. The formations I can see through, he might not be able to see through.”
“He is definitely not an Acquired Spirit Body.”
He is neither an Acquired nor an Innate Spirit Body, which is why he is in such an awkward position.
Ming Zhaoshuang now has an eighty percent certainty that her Spirit-Connecting Bone was taken by the Sword Sect and transplanted onto Qin Feilong.
After all, only one Spirit-Connecting Bone can exist in the world at a time.
However, what exactly was the Sword Sect’s objective in nurturing someone like Qin Feilong? Or did the Sword Sect make some transaction with the Heavenly Dao to painstakingly create an Ascender?
They knew that only the Dragon Race could cultivate two paths simultaneously, so they chose Qin Du to “borrow seeds” from.
Chunxi is the strongest female cultivator in the Upper Realm, and her bloodline is undoubtedly the strongest. Therefore, her union with Qin Du would result in Qin Feilong being anything but ordinary.
That is why Chunxi wanted to kill her the moment she saw her.
After all, she feared that if she exposed the secret of the Spirit-Connecting Bone, it would damage the Sword Sect’s image. Otherwise, according to their “Righteous Path” rules, even if she wanted to kill Feng He, she should have feigned a few words of persuasion before kicking Feng He out of her Sea of Consciousness.
The fact that she didn’t do so could only mean that she deserved to die.
After all, if Chunxi wanted to kill her simply because Qin Du liked Ming Cangsheng, it would be too weak an excuse. Chunxi did not seem like the type of person to be troubled by romantic love.
But the problem is, with the Sword Sect’s strength alone, they couldn’t have forced Zhen Hanliu into such a situation.
After all, the status of the Three Great Regions in the Upper Realm is far higher than that of the Sword Sect.
