Chapter 103: The Supreme Yang Flower, I’ll Pick It For You
Jar Master said, “Don’t mess around! The Tenth Spring Shenque has always been just a legend; we aren’t even sure if it truly exists.”
“That’s right, we’re not even sure if the Tenth Spring is the Shenque,” Jar Master said.
Spirit Tablet Master said, “Weiyi, you’re already very strong! After opening the Ninth Spring, you have a total of 108 Veins; there’s no one else in history with that many. It’s said that Zen Sea Observing Mist only has 107.”
Jar Master said, “Temper all your Veins into gold, and then break through to the Five Seas Realm. I guarantee that under heaven, no one in the same realm will be able to withstand even one of your moves. There’s no need to obsess over the Tenth Spring.”
Li Weiyi seemed to have taken their words to heart. He stopped researching the Shenque Acupoint and instead parted the blood mist, revealing the brilliant sea area where Tanggu Sea was located. He absorbed the light from the Fusang Divine Tree and continued to temper his gold Veins.
He thought to himself, “The more gold Veins I cultivate, the more times I can withstand the Broken Spring Needle. I must go all out to charge for this Tenth Spring.”
…
It was the fourth day since the Medicine Flag Great Ship departed from Jiu Li City.
As they were traveling downstream with full sails, their speed was like that of a galloping horse.
The wind whistled past his ears.
Li Weiyi stood proudly on the corridor outside the cabin, holding a gilded Zhanmadao Saber about 1.5 meters long, powered by Zu Tian Magic Energy. The blade’s golden light surged, shining as brightly as the great sun.
“Whoosh!”
With one swing, the golden sharpness left the saber and landed on the water surface about seven to eight zhang away.
The river surface exploded with fire.
Yin Twenty-Five, leaning against the door pillar of a nearby cabin, twitched his mouth. This strength was too monstrous. At the same Ninth Spring Zu Tian realm, he felt he would be split in two by Li Weiyi’s saber!
Ninth Spring Yang Shenjing, Ninth Spring Zuo Qiu Ling, how many moves could they withstand from him?
On the ship, the servants, guards, and maids from the Medicine Li Tribe all looked over, mistaking Li Weiyi for a Five Seas Realm Cultivator.
Li Weiyi stroked the blade and praised, “What a good saber! It would be wonderful if I could cultivate a Blade Technique at the Heavenly Law Integration level!”
This low-grade Magic Tool-level Zhanmadao Saber was obtained from the Coffin Sea Pavilion’s treasury to act as a cover.
“Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Sima, on breaking through to the Five Seas Realm.”
Zhao Zhizhuo wore a Bamboo Hat, his face covered by black gauze, concealing his true appearance.
“Who says you must be in the Five Seas Realm to unleash this strike?” Li Weiyi was high-spirited. In the past few days, he had tempered three more gold Veins, bringing the total to fifty-eight. His combat power seemed to have increased slightly again.
Zhao Zhizhuo was slightly stunned and couldn’t help but recall the widespread rumors that Li Weiyi, with a Mortal Body, had combat power comparable to the Hundred Meridians Pure Silver Immortal Body.
Could the rumors actually be true?
After all, because of these rumors, many forces were looking for him, wanting to invite him to gather herbs in some special areas within Zangxian Town.
“How is your recovery going?” Li Weiyi asked.
Zhao Zhizhuo replied, “Just about done.”
Li Weiyi brought Zhao Zhizhuo into the cabin, closed the door and windows, and handed him a black cloth bag: “Since your first Lung Leaf has healed, let’s try to restore your first Sea of Qi.”
“We’re starting now. Where is that Senior?”
Zhao Zhizhuo suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.
Li Weiyi said, “That Senior is traveling with us! With his cultivation and abilities, even if he stood right in front of you, you wouldn’t be able to see him. But some secrets are not for you to know now. You need to put on this black cloth bag and seal your senses.”
Zhao Zhizhuo naturally trusted Li Weiyi. After sitting down, he directly placed the black cloth bag over his head.
The five realms of the Five Seas Realm Martial Cultivator involve cultivating five Seas of Qi.
The five Seas of Qi are located in the five Lung Leaves within the human body.
The reason the Five Seas Realm is difficult to break through, with many Martial Cultivators needing to use Five Seas Pills, is primarily because the Inner World is difficult to expand.
The “Zu Tian” is also an Inner World. Li Weiyi was able to easily open it up because he possessed Buddha’s Sarira, a spatial Treasure.
Similarly, to help Zhao Zhizhuo expand his withered first Sea of Qi, external Spatial Power must be used.
Li Weiyi pressed his finger towards Zhao Zhizhuo’s chest, at the location of the first Lung Leaf where the first Sea of Qi was. His brow gradually lit up, and he used Spiritual Light to activate the Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish.
A gentle Spatial Power diffused from Buddha’s Sarira, forming ripples of space that traveled along his finger into Zhao Zhizhuo’s Lung Leaf.
“Whoosh!”
The Sea of Qi, which had been withered for over a decade, slowly expanded.
Zhao Zhizhuo seemed to be enduring immense pain, his body trembling violently, but he tried his best to control himself and not move or shake erratically.
The expansion process lasted for a full quarter of an hour.
The Sea of Qi within the Lung Leaf stabilized, neither expanding further nor shrinking back. The process was much smoother than Li Weiyi had imagined.
After hiding the Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish, he patted Zhao Zhizhuo’s head, and the black cloth bag was opened.
Taking off the bag, Zhao Zhizhuo’s nose and mouth were bleeding, but his expression was incredibly excited. He looked around for the Senior’s trace, and finally knelt on one knee before Li Weiyi, weeping uncontrollably, unable to speak a word.
Only by truly regaining his lost realm did he finally believe that everything was real and not just another midnight dream.
Li Weiyi helped him up: “You’ve only recovered your first Sea of Qi. You’re almost sixty years old, how can your state of mind be so poor?”
“I thought… I didn’t believe I could return to the Five Seas Realm… Please excuse me, please excuse me!” Zhao Zhizhuo said.
Li Weiyi replied, “Don’t worry, that Senior is traveling with us. The next five Seas of Qi will all be restored one by one.”
Zhao Zhizhuo nodded incessantly, “No wonder you dared to travel with Yao Yin. With that senior present, what do you have to fear? Even if she were a jackal, tiger, or leopard, what could she do to you?”
Li Weiyi said, “That senior said your first Sea of Qi is two square in size. Not bad!”
Zhao Zhizhuo wiped away his tears and laughed, “Generally speaking, the first Sea of Qi for a martial cultivator in the Seven Springs Breaking Five Seas is usually one region. For Eight Springs Breaking Five Seas, it’s two regions, so there’s nothing to be proud of.”
Li Weiyi said, “What about the First Sea of Qi of the Nine Springs Supreme Person? How big is it?”
“The smallest have at least three directions! As for those Hundred Meridians Pure Silver Immortal Bodies, it’s said they can reach four or five directions. Even within the first realm of the Five Seas, their combat power is worlds apart,” Zhao Zhizhuo said.
Li Weiyi had a rough idea, so he asked, “To heal the second lung leaf, does it cost more blood crystals?”
Zhao Zhizhuo nodded, “My second Sea of Qi is about four sides. I estimate it will require three or four Blood Crystals.”
Li Weiyi did manage to get a sum of money from the Chang Lin Gang, but he still had many expenses. Just raising seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors was an extremely troublesome matter, so he dared not spend extravagantly.
Sensing Yao Yin arriving outside the door.
Li Weiyi pushed open the door, stopped her, and asked directly: “Do you have money?”
Yao Yin was startled by him and nodded instinctively, “How much do you want?”
“How much do you have?” Li Weiyi said.
Yao Yin said, “My mother left me quite a bit of industry, which can be mortgaged.”
“Where is the blood crystal?” Li Weiyi asked.
“Wait for me for a moment.”
Yao Yin walked away quickly.
When she returned, she held a palm-sized wooden box and handed it to Li Weiyi.
Upon opening it, it contained a blood crystal the size of a fist, completely crimson. Internally, it seemed to flow with liquid blood, its quality naturally far superior to the one Li Weiyi had previously purchased.
Blood Crystals are one of the most important minerals in the world, said to be formed from the accumulation of blood underground. They are an essential treasure material for martial cultivators in body refining, alchemists in alchemy, deploying formations, drawing runes, and so on.
At some top-tier transaction levels, blood crystals are even used as currency.
70 The blood crystal in the wooden box is absolutely priceless. Li Weiyi really felt embarrassed to take it and said, “Name your price!”
Yao Yin smiled and said, “No need, I’ll give it to you.”
Li Weiyi watched her graceful and slender back disappear around the corner, closed the door, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhao Zhizhuo’s eyes filled with “profound admiration.”
“Amazing!” Zhao Zhizhuo praised incessantly.
Li Weiyi said with a dark face: “What’s so amazing, it has to be returned. You return it!”
“Okay, I’ll owe you this favor.”
Zhao Zhizhuo took the Blood Crystal from Li Weiyi’s hand and, after examining it, said with emotion, “This can already be called a city-level treasure, comparable to the Blood Crystal from ten days ago. Healing two lung leaves is no problem. To be frank, this Young Lady Yin likely has grand ambitions! Without them, why would she so easily give away such a heavy treasure?”
“Stop the nonsense. Take the blood crystal and go heal your wounds.”
After seeing Zhao Zhizhuo off, Li Weiyi’s mind was restless. He paced back and forth, and after much thought, he pushed open the door and headed towards the second-floor cabin where Yao Yin was.
As soon as I stepped onto the second-floor deck, I saw her beautiful silhouette standing against the wind, only a dark shadow visible under the distant setting sun.
“By tomorrow morning, we should arrive at Yaoguan, and Zangxian Town won’t be far.” Her voice was very pleasant and beautiful.
Li Weiyi walked over and stood beside her, his towering body a full head taller than hers.
In this quiet and beautiful atmosphere, he spoke only after the sun had completely set: “Why participate in the Hidden Sect trial?”
Yao Yin let out an inexplicable chuckle, “Seeing how difficult it was for you to speak, I thought you were going to ask for money again. It made me so worried.”
Li Weiyi awkwardly said, “I will return it. You’ll get 800,000 silver coins.”
“No need! No matter how much silver coin there is, in the moment of death, it all belongs to others. How about I transfer all my industry to you… Forget it, many people are watching; transferring it to you would be a disaster.”
Yao Yin’s emotions sank. Those sapphire-like eyes turned deep and sorrowful, and countless painful memories she didn’t want to recall surfaced in her mind.
Li Weiyi asked, “Why kill your cousin?”
Yao Yin looked at Li Weiyi, like a little girl desperately trying to hide and escape slaughter, suddenly found, her face filled with terror and fear, her lips trembling slightly.
“He must have a reason to be killed!” Li Weiyi said.
The sunset completely faded, the river was pitch black, and faint sobbing could be heard.
The lights on the ship were lit. Li Weiyi turned and left, saying, “I will pick the Flower of Supreme Yang for you. Until then, you must live well.”
Standing at the entrance of the ladderway, Yin Twenty-Five clearly saw that Li Weiyi’s chest was wet.
……
The next morning, it was the Ten Thousand Miles of Morning Glow, like a brocade dragon dancing in the sky.
The Medicine Flag Great Ship arrived at Yaoguan.
The entire Sui River was blocked here, making passage impossible. Giant ships were moored on both banks of the Great River, their masts like a forest, and wind flags stretched for a hundred miles.
Months passed, and martial cultivators from all over gathered. Yaoguan City was long overcrowded. The vast majority of martial cultivators either lived on the ship or set up camp in the mountains and fields.
Law enforcement patrols, mounted on colossal winged beasts, occasionally flew across the sky.
Yaoguan is only three hundred li from Zangxian Town.
The internal space of Zangxian Town further expanded, and the immortal radiance released had already permeated to this place three hundred li away. The mountains on both banks of the Sui River were all enveloped in mist and vapor, the soil exuded purple light, and the vegetation was as verdant as jade.
From time to time, mountain medicinal herbs would be imbued with immortal radiance, transforming into exotic medicines, triggering stampedes and slaughter.
Near the dock of Yaoguan City, an arena was set up on the shore, with war banners erected on each side.
The war banner on the left read: “Sui Sect, Lord of Li Zhou.”
The war banner on the right read – “The Jiu Li Tribe has no Supreme Person.”
A greatly burning ape sat cross-legged in the center of the arena. Its body and fur were like crimson lapis lazuli, crystal clear and translucent, exuding thick demonic energy.
The war banner was high, fluttering in the wind, visible from a hundred zhang away.
Yin Twenty-Five’s eyes revealed a cold glint: “This must be a demon race master invited by the Sui Sect to suppress the Jiu Li Tribe. It seems they have completely fallen out!”
Li Weiyi said, “That’s a harsh scolding. Why don’t you go give it a try?”
Yin Twenty-Five said, “Wouldn’t it be more stable if you went?”
Li Weiyi shook his head: “With my cultivation today, to make a move against a Spring Gushing Realm Martial Cultivator would be too undignified.”
Yin Twenty-Five had no reply and greatly wished to say that even Five Seas Realm Martial Cultivators do not possess your style.
After waiting for a long time, no challenger appeared. Yin Twenty-Five said, “This isn’t right! Logically, these two banners are extremely insulting, clearly intending to help the Sui Sect suppress the Jiu Li tribe in a place where martial cultivators from all under heaven gather. Thus, after the Jiu Li tribe is annihilated in the future, the Sui Sect can naturally become the master of Li Zhou.”
“With exotic medicines constantly emerging, it’s impossible that the Jiu Li tribe hasn’t cultivated several Nine Springs Supreme Persons. Why would they just stand by and watch these two banners remain there?”
Yin Twenty-Five went to inquire about the news.
Yao Yin walked down from the ship.
Today, she had evidently dressed up meticulously, her willow brows drawn as if like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her cheeks dusted with a light rouge, appearing as tender and pink as blooming peach blossoms against her snow-white skin, full of gentle tenderness.
Her cyan dress was also meticulously crafted, with buttons neatly fastened. A jade belt accentuated her slender waist, and her jade ornaments chimed with every step.
Not wearing a veil, she attracted many sideways glances. They only felt amazed by her stunning beauty, as if an immortal had descended to the mortal realm.
She walked to Li Weiyi’s side and asked softly, “Regarding the collection of the Sun-Kissing Flower you mentioned last night, have you made any progress?”
“Yes, but it requires money, a lot of money,” Li Weiyi said.
…
( Explain this: Jia Shou refers to the number one master under sixty years old.)
