Chapter 278: Even His Pets Ascend to Heaven When a Man Gains Enlightenment.
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There is a saying among the common people: When a man gains enlightenment, even his pets ascend to heaven.
“Big Brother Yun, have you become a deity?” Tang Meng asked blankly.
Ling Yun shook his head, smiling as he knocked on Tang Meng’s head. “Bulls.h.i.+t, I would be in the Deity Realm if I did. How could I still be here?”
Ling Yun was still building his foundation at Qi Cultivation Stage Nine. He had only managed to pull it off because of the nine streams of Golden Dragon Qi.
The Protection of the Nine Dragons did not mean dragons actually appeared. The vision exuded from the Golden Dragon Qi was too overpowering. It portrayed a vision of nine dragons circling Ling Yun.
Ling Yun knew that all of this was because of the Emperor Brush. Everything could vanish in the next moment.
The Immortal Spiritual Energy that the Emperor Brush supplied Ling Yun with was not only real, he could even wield it however he wished.
He would not be Ling Yun if he did not fully utilize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Ling Yun released the seal on the policemen lying unconscious on the ground and told Tang Meng. “They won’t be up for awhile. Take this chance to get out of here. I will leave first. I have something to do.”
Zhuang Meifeng clung onto his arm in panic. “Hubby… where are you going? You wouldn’t disappear on me, right?”
Ling Yun burst out laughing as he stroked Zhuang Meifeng’s nose lovingly. “Rest a.s.sured and wait for me at home. I haven’t punished you for saying you will marry Sun Xing!”
Ling Yun used his invisibility technique and disappeared from sight. He leapt into the dark woods and scooped up the unconscious masked lady.
Ling Yun used his Five Elemental Vessel Seal to infuse his overflowing Immortal Spiritual Energy into her while making big strides. He was doing a thorough internal cleansing for her.
Ling Yun reached the Tiger Cliff of the Dragon Mountain before long. He pushed his divine senses to its limit and expanded its range to include the Dragon Mountain and Nancui Peak.
“I was right! There are two Yin-Yang shrubs that are perfect for the cultivation of Yin-Yang harmony balance! Oh, there is also a shrub of Longxian Gra.s.s…” Ling Yun memorized the location of the Yin-Yang Gra.s.s and Longxian Gra.s.s.
Ling Yun stopped using his divine senses and walked over to the Crater.
He wanted to use his divine sense to explore the Crater before heading in personally.
“Eh? Where are the corpses of Xuan Jiu and Di Ba? Were they devoured by those huge toads below?”
The Crater was more than four hundred meters deep. Fallen trees and broken rocks were littered all around a river that was more than a hundred meters wide.
Xuan Jiu and Di Ba’s bodies disappeared, but there were numerous huge toads. Each was the size of a basketball. They looked ugly and scary.
“That’s strange. There isn’t a single yin spirit even though it is so deep.”
Ling Yun groaned involuntarily. He wanted to explore the depths of the underground river. To his dismay, his divine sense from Qi Cultivation Stage Nine had been deterred by an invisible barrier.
Ling Yun instinctively knew that it was the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell at work. The spell formation indicated that its caster was a formidable pract.i.tioner.
“Earth is really mystifying! What is it exactly? It is not as simple as I thought it would be!”
Ling Yun’s thought went towards the Waterspout, to the nine-tailed celestial fox and then to the Emperor Brush. His heart was filled with awe.
However, it was not the time to linger on such thoughts. He flew directly to Qingshui Wharf Number Nine.
Ling Yun dismissed the thought of exploring the depths of the Crater immediately.
What if he met some strong monsters or demons and used up his Immortal Spiritual Energy? Wasn’t that just begging to be eaten?
Moreover, he was hugging a very important person and had crucial things to do!
He looked at Qingshui Wharf Number Nine in delight.
“That is the Five Elements Eight Divinatory Trigram Formation! Mum surely knows a lot! This is not bad, but it’s a tad too simple. Let me make some modifications to it…”
The stones had been placed by Qin Qiuyue in accordance to the Qimen Armor formation. Through Ling Yun’s telekinesis, they floated and rearranged themselves before settling in their new positions.
Ling Yun also made a Myriad Nine Slaughter Formation using the trees and rocks already in the vicinity around the perimeter of the house.
Ling Yun then entered the villa and placed the masked woman on the large sofa with care before sprinting upstairs.
Ning Lingyu’s bedroom room was disguised to be hidden from sight. Ling Yun pushed the door slightly and saw Lingyu was fast asleep.
She was still in the clothes she wore for dinner except for her shoes. Her delicate body was covered by a thin blanket. A dreamy expression decorated her beautiful face.
“Mum did seal her sleep-inducing acupuncture point.” Ling Yun smiled as he came to Lingyu’s side with the Emperor Brush that was still madly transferring Immortal Spiritual Energy into him.
The masked lady protecting Ling Yun in the woods was none other than Qin Qiuyue.
Only Qin Qiuyue and Ning Lingyu would transfer invaluable Immortal Spiritual Energy to Ling Yun without any reservations. It was not the ordinary spiritual energy from the s.h.i.+chiyou herb.
Ning Lingyu had an innate spiritual body, so she did not require any internal cleansing. What was Ling Yun going to do then?
Ling Yun was about to transform Ning Lingyu’s innate spiritual body into a pure immortal spiritual body.
The process was simple even though it sounded complicated. Ling Yun need only to hold the Emperor Brush in one hand and channel as much Immortal Spiritual Energy as possible into Ning Lingyu through the other hand.
Ling Yun didn’t hesitate for even a second as he poured all the Immortal Spiritual Energy in him into Ning Lingyu.
To be honest, Ling Yun was basically stealing Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Emperor Brush.
One hour, then two hours, then three hours pa.s.sed.
Ling Yun had originally thought that Ning Lingyu would not need much Immortal Spiritual Energy since she had not started to cultivate yet. He was shocked when it took a whole five hours for Ning Lingyu’s body to be filled to the brim at such a scary speed. Ning Lingyu’s body was like a bottomless pit.
Fortunately for Ling Yun, the Emperor Brush continued its ma.s.sive supply of Immortal Spiritual Energy after he remodeled Ning Lingyu’s body. He used the Emperor Brush to inscribe a large seal onto Ning Lingyu’s body and buried the seal deep into her. This way, the Immortal Spiritual Energy would stay in Ning Lingyu.
No one below Qi Cultivation Stage Nine could break this seal.
Ning Lingyu would be able to utilize the Immortal Spiritual Energy when she started cultivating in the future. Her speed of training would be absolutely terrifying once she got to the Qi Cultivation stage.
Ling Yun gently covered Ning Lingyu with the thin blanket and left Mansion Number Nine before dawn.
He reached the river bank where the s.h.i.+chiyou herb was within half a minute.
Ling Yun drew some strokes in thin air with the Emperor Brush.
“Up!”
The whole patch of s.h.i.+chiyou herb along with about two meters of soil was uprooted. A hole of the same area was left on the river bank.
“Move the Mountain!” Ling Yun unceremoniously used his Mountain Moving Technique with the intention of transplanting the whole patch of gra.s.s to Villa Number One. Ling Yun required a constant supply of spiritual energy since he was at Qi Cultivation stage Nine.
Ling Yun found the spot that was most exposed to sunlight and used the Emperor Brush to transplant the s.h.i.+chiyou herb.
Ling Yun then injected a fair amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy into the roots of the s.h.i.+chiyou herb using the Emperor Brush.
“Hehe. You will grow better and faster and release purer spiritual energy this way!”
Ling Yun created a stone barrier within three meters of the s.h.i.+chiyou herb plantation with telekinesis.
“My darling, your spiritual energy is all mine. It won’t ever be scattered again!”
Ling Yun created two formations in Villa Number One. The first was the Spirit Gathering Formation, which absorbed the spiritual energy from the antique market in Qingshui City. The other was the Myriad Nine Slaughter Formation to protect the villa.
“That’s more like it!” Ling Yun nodded before leaving for the rented house.
He could not wait to create a Spirit Gathering Formation on the Psychic Jade Box he obtained from Miracle Doctor Xue. It would enable the Jade Box to absorb and store spiritual energy more efficiently!
