Chapter 874: Top Ten Divine Furnaces
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This was the second time that Tantai s.h.i.+ had mentioned the b.u.t.terfly Lady Race. Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with a trace of suspicion and started at Tantai s.h.i.+ a few times as he was silently wondering if this b.u.t.terfly Lady Race was very famous?
He was truly unaware of such things. If it had been Qian w.a.n.guan or Situ Yixiao, they might know a little about it. He spoke with a bewildered tone, “I have been devoted to my cultivation and paid no attention to outside matters. It is strange to not know about the b.u.t.terfly Lady Race? Is your b.u.t.terfly Lady Race very famous?”
Flushed cheeks appeared on Tantai s.h.i.+’s face as she took a glance at the maidservant by the side. The latter was very tactful and had dismissed herself before activating the restriction. Jiang Yi observed with cold eyes and wanted to see what this Tantai s.h.i.+ was up to. Since he could casually kill her, he wasn’t afraid of her tricks. She couldn’t possibly forcefully violate him, right?
After activating the restriction, Tantai s.h.i.+’s face got even redder as she gathered her courage and took a glance at Jiang Yi before she lowered her head and whispered, “Does my Lord not know about the world’s ten mystical ladies?”
“I do not know!” Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulder and asked, “I’d like to hear about it.”
Tantai s.h.i.+ explained with a blus.h.i.+ng face, “The Stellarsky Domain had tens of thousands of races and is full of extraordinary things. A few hundred thousand years ago, someone discovered very special ladies, and they were known as the top ten divine furnaces. No.1 in the ranking is the G.o.ddess Lady Race, and it is said that if one could obtain one of the G.o.ddess Lady Race’s woman’s… essence yin, one’s essence force could progress from the first stage of Heaven Monarch all the way to the fifth stage. Furthermore, if they were used for twin cultivation, the cultivation speed would be ten folds faster!”
“What?”
Jiang Yi had a shocked expression. There was actually such a mystical race in this world?
Jiang Yi didn’t know how difficult it was to cultivate from the first stage of Heaven Monarch to the fifth stage of Heaven Monarch, he simply knew that he had spent half a year to cultivate from the peak stage of Vajra Realm to the Heaven Monarch Realm when he had the cultivation speed of 1000 folds. Without the cultivation speed of 1000 folds, an ordinary person would require at least a few thousand years to achieve it?
Right now, Tantai s.h.i.+ was saying if one could obtain the essence yin from the G.o.ddess Lady Race, one could progress from the first stage to the fifth stage of Heaven Monarch in a single night? Jiang Yi’s essence force realm should be around the first or second stage of the Heaven Monarch. According to his cultivation, even with the cultivation speed of 1000 folds, he would need at least three years to reach the fifth stage of Heaven Monarch? How could the G.o.ddess Lady Race be so terrifying?
Jiang Yi regained his composure quickly and mocked as he looked at Tantai s.h.i.+. “You must be deceiving me, right? Is there really such mystical ladies in the world?”
“How would this servant dare to deceive my Lord? Everyone on the East Imperial Continent knows about this. If this servant has deceived my Lord, my Lord may kill this servant if you found out it is wrong,” Tantai s.h.i.+ spoke firmly.
She then spoke again when she just recalled something, “That’s right. Over a century ago, one of the G.o.ddess Lady Race appeared in Stellarsky Domain, and the Nine Thearchs Clans fought a great battle of this. Finally, the G.o.ddess Lady Race’s woman had been obtained by Xuan Emperor, and that G.o.ddess Lady Race’s woman should still be alive now…”
“Xuan Emperor? There really is such a mystical race?”
Jiang Yi was silently appalled as he asked curiously, “Is this lady from a race? Or do they appear by chance?”
“They are naturally not a race.”
Tantai s.h.i.+ smiled and explained, “They are a blessing from the heavens, and no one knows where would the next G.o.ddess Lady appear or within which race. She might even appear in an ordinary clan. For the past 100,000 years, there were only four G.o.ddess Ladies.”
“En, en.”
Jiang Yi nodded, and he gestured for Tantai s.h.i.+ to continue the explanation. Such information was exactly what he needed. In order for him to infiltrate the East Imperial Continent, he must have an understanding of the various situations and mystical happenings of the continent. Only by knowing one’s enemy would they be able to achieve eternal victory.
Tantai s.h.i.+ lifted her cup to take a sip before she continued explaining, “No.2 on the ranking is the Fragrant Lady Race. This race had an innately rare fragrance and similarly a great furnace. If one could obtain their virgin essence yin, one should be able to progress from the first stage to the third stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm. This race doesn’t have the effects of twin cultivation, but after long years of exposure to their body fragrance, one’s soul spirit would constantly get strengthened. It is said that the strengthening speed is astoundingly fast, too.”
“It can strengthen the soul spirit?”
Jiang Yi truly had an eye-opener today, and this vast world was truly filled with extraordinary things.
Tantai s.h.i.+ nodded lightly and said, “No.3 in the ranking is the Wolf Lady Race. This race’s essence yin cannot strengthen the essence force, but the twin cultivation can also increase the cultivation speed by ten folds. However… this race’s ladies have strong desires and would seek s.e.xual pleasures every single night. Normal men wouldn’t be able to handle them, not even regular Heaven Monarchs.”
When Tantai s.h.i.+ spoke about this, her face got redder as though it was burning while tears were about to drip from her eyes. She lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi rubbed his nose awkwardly and coughed before he asked, “What about no.4?”
“No.4 is the Fairy Lady Race!”
Tantai s.h.i.+ took a breath in and spoke with a mosquito-like voice, “This race possesses the no.1 tool called the Nine Bending Cloister. When doing ‘that’, the woman’s ‘place’ would be occasionally bone-chilling and occasionally fiery hot. Furthermore, the inside was just like a Nine Bending Cloister. Regular men would never be able to last longer than ten minutes. This race is the dream bed partner for all the men in the world. They are also great furnaces for twin cultivation, increasing the cultivation speed by five or six folds!”
Gulp!
Jiang Yi swallowed his saliva instinctively. He clearly knew about the ‘that’ and that ‘place’ which Tantai s.h.i.+ was talking about. Right now, a man and a woman were secluded here, and there was a superior beauty sitting opposite him. This woman was explaining softly about the miraculous things about the woman’s body. Had it not been for Jiang Yi’s evolved soul spirit and his strengthened heart, he would already have pounced over.
Jiang Yi stayed silent and closed his eyes while he silently circulated his essence force and made himself calm down. He then asked, “Is your b.u.t.terfly Lady Race one of the top ten divine furnaces?”
“Yes, it is!”
Tantai s.h.i.+ didn’t even dare to look at Jiang Yi as she lowered her head and said, “Our b.u.t.terfly Lady Race is ranked no.5, and if it wasn’t for my husband who told me, I still wouldn’t know. My Lord is also the second person to know about this… and I hope my Lord will help me keep this secret. If it was made known, this servant will have a miserable ending.”
“Why would it be miserable?”
Jiang Yi asked curiously, “Since your father-in-law is the Heaven Flame City Lord, your husband’s status must be of a certain level, right? That’s right… why is your husband not traveling with all of you?”
Tantai s.h.i.+’s expression turned dark as she lifted her head and looked at Jiang Yi. She let out a bitter smile and said, “This time, we are returning to my parents’ home in Fire Beacon Continent to visit a relative, but when we were returning to the East Imperial Continent, we encountered a powerful bandit legion. My husband died in battle and the two thousand experts that came along had been reduced to the current state. Had it not been for my wish to bring my two children back to the clan, this servant would have died along with my husband.”
“En, en.”
Jiang Yi instantly realized it and didn’t ask anything more as he was pondering. He quickly linked up all the crucial points and understood why this Tantai s.h.i.+ would mention the ‘b.u.t.terfly Lady Race’ twice.
Tantai s.h.i.+ wanted to attach herself to him and wanted to find a backer. Not only did she want to bring everyone back to Heaven Flame City, but she also wanted to help their clan to stand firmer and didn’t want her children and herself to suffer. In fact… Jiang Yi was suspecting if Tantai s.h.i.+’s husband had died in the hands of the bandits or in the conspiracy of the clansmen.
A weak woman was bringing two children back to a major clan and didn’t have the support of her husband. Most importantly, this weak woman had exceptionally good looks and could definitely suffer the l.u.s.t of many Tantai Clan’s members. If she didn’t want her two children to suffer or perish, she had no choice but to find a powerful backer.
Originally, her father-in-law was a powerful backer, but after hearing Tantai s.h.i.+ speaking like this, it was obvious that… this father-in-law wasn’t reliable.
Jiang Yi was very powerful and wasn’t inferior to her father-in-law and had saved their lives. He had even taken the risk to send them back because of a single statement from her daughter. It was undeniable in Tantai s.h.i.+’s heart that Jiang Yi was a great backer.
However, Jiang Yi didn’t wish to become her backer as he didn’t even bother to ask about the special traits of the b.u.t.terfly Lady Race. He tidied up his clothes and stood up. “Many thanks for Madam’s explanation. It is late at night, and Madam should get some rest. I will take my leave.”
Jiang Yi casually struck out his essence force to open up the restriction before walking out with large steps. Tantai s.h.i.+ looked at Jiang Yi’s straight back while her eyes flashed with a trace of sadness. Tears silently fell from her eyes and hit on the dining table, blooming with little plum blossoms.
