Chapter 57: You Are Not Fated With Me
“Cough, cough. Since Miss Jiu’er is so loyal, you shouldn’t force her, Brother Shen!”
Zhang Yunxi secretly made her perspiration on her face evaporate, using some of the Dharmic powers she had left.
She was a little worried that Shen Tian would ask her to release Jiu’er too. Unfortunately, her skills in her sect’s Rebirth Mantra were not proficient enough. It was difficult to release the Ghost Mother!
Still, Zhang Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief as when she had been releasing the souls, Shen Tian had not taken the chance to make a move and attack her. That allowed Zhang Yunxi to trust Shen Tian a little more.
Shen Tian should be a good person.
...
After releasing all the ghost babies, Zhang Yunxi returned the rosary beads to Shen Tian.
She said calmly, “I have left a cultivation technique for ghosts in the beads.
“Miss Jiu’er can train hard and convert her resentment into Dharmic power.
“Once all her resentment has turned into Dharmic power, then it will not be impossible for her to transcend the tribulation and become a Ghost Immortal.”
Shen Tian saw that Zhang Yunxi did not seem to want to release Jiu’er, and the latter did not want to be released either. Therefore, he could only nod his head without any other choice.
“In that case, thank you, Fairy Zhang.”
Never mind. Since Jiu’er is not going to be released, then just let her stay.
However, it was not easy to provide for Jiu’er.
Although the consumption was large for the First Essence Heavy Water in his kidney, if he squeezed out part of it, then he should be able to feed Jiu’er to her fill.
Shen Tian felt that everyone around him and everything he had would require a large Spirit Stones expenditure.
If it was not for the fact that he could earn Spirit Stones quickly enough, he wouldn’t be able to provide for them!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhang Yunxi also heaved a sigh of relief.
She secretly decided that she had to steel herself to be serious once she returned this time and become proficient in the Rebirth Mantra. Otherwise, how embarra.s.sing would it be if she encountered such a situation again and was unable to release the souls?
Most importantly, seeing how that female ghost was hanging around Shen Tian made Zhang Yunxi feel a little sour and uncomfortable in her heart.
Sigh... If I had been hardworking in understanding and training when Master was teaching the Rebirth Mantra, instead of not paying attention, I could definitely have released this female ghost!
...
Shen Tian put away the rosary beads, placing them into another bag with Spirit Stones.
He cupped his hands together towards Zhang Yunxi. “Sorry for troubling you today. Thank you, Fairy Zhang.”
Zhang Yunxi straightened her back proudly, but her face was calm. “Don’t mention it.”
After finishing, Zhang Yunxi stared at Shen Tian coldly, and Shen Tian also looked at Zhang Yunxi.
The two of them did not speak, so the room was silent for a while.
Cough, cough. Fairy, why are you still in my room when you already know I’m not from Evil Spirit!?
It’s late! I am going to sleep.
Shen Tian felt helpless.
What’s this Saintess thinking of doing again?
Zhang Yunxi seemed to have also sensed the awkwardness of the situation, so she coughed lightly and said, “I heard that Brother Shen is proficient in the seeking and a.s.sessing Spirit Ores?”
Shen Tian was not surprised that Zhang Yunxi would ask him that. She had already been suspicious of Shen Tian being from Evil Spirit. Therefore, before she had appeared in front of Shen Tian, she would definitely have already done her investigation.
Shen Tian helped fated people seek and a.s.sess Spirit Ores; almost the whole Myriad Spirit Garden knew it.
It would be weird if Zhang Yunxi did not know about that at all!
...
Shen Tian nodded. “Yes, I know a thing or two about it.”
Zhang Yunxi stared at Shen Tian. “I heard that Brother Shen only seeks and a.s.sesses Spirit Ores for fated people?”
Shen Tian could only nod his head honestly. “Yes, I won’t do it for people who have no fate with me, no matter the price.”
Zhang Yunxi smiled slightly. “Then, am I fated with Brother Shen?”
Zhang Yunxi’s face was filled with confidence and pride.
She was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saintess. Although her focus of cultivation was not the seeking and a.s.sessing Spirit Ores, she knew quite a lot about it since she had often been to large-scale Spirit Ore Gardens.
She had never heard of any Spirit Ore Appraiser that would leave it up to fate.
From her point of view, it was an excuse for Shen Tian to choose the people he wanted.
Zhang Yunxi thought of herself as one of the best Saintresses in terms of beauty and cultivation throughout the Eastern Wilderness.
She had also taken the trouble to help Shen Tian release the baby ghosts.
Thus, from sentiment and reason, Shen Tian should and would give her face and say, “You’re fated with me!”
...
Despite her expectations, Shen Tian was bewildered.
What? Even the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saintess wants me to help her seek ores?
You’re already Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saintess! Would you still care about this bit of ore in Myriad Spirit Garden!?
One should know that even though there were many Spirit Stones in Myriad Spirit Garden, their grades were mostly average.
The top geniuses of Sacred Grounds and Grotto-Heavens would not even look at such Spirit Stones. Only those people with ordinary statuses in the cultivation world would like to come here.
Meanwhile, those Saints and Saintesses would go to high-grade Spirit Ore Gardens.
In those Spirit Ore Gardens, all kinds of high-quality ores would be gathered.
It could be said the price of any random Spirit Ore would be at least 1,000 Spirit Ores.
If one were lucky enough, the items obtained from within would be extremely precious, such as supreme-grade Spirit artifacts, lost mystic arts, and sealed rare treasures.
There might even be a sealed ancient G.o.ddess that slept for tens of thousands of years.
Lucky individuals might obtain all of the above.
...
According to rumors, Purple Mansion Sacred Ground’s Saint had obtained half a jade slip in the Primordial Spirit Garden a few years ago.
The jade slip recorded the Nirvana Immortal Imperial Sutra.
Due to the jade slip’s cultivation technique, the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground’s oldest cultivator had managed to live a second life. Thus, the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground’s whole strength and foundation had improved greatly.
Therefore, Shen Tian thought that Spirit Ore Gardens, like Primordial Spirit Garden, were places that people like Zhang Yunxi should go.
As such, why would she take a fancy to the Myriad Spirit Garden!?
...
Honestly speaking, Shen Tian had already observed Zhang Yunxi’s halo and had seen no lucky opportunities connected to this place.
If there was no such image, no matter what her halo’s color may be, it was useless.
Thus, Shen Tian could only helplessly sigh and say, “You’re not fated with me.”
Just as he finished speaking, Shen Tian could feel that the room’s temperature dropped at an alarming rate.
Shen Tian was not sure if he was right or wrong, but from Zhang Yunxi’s gaze, he could feel that she seemed to be unhappy.
She was even a little resentful.
...
Zhang Yunxi took a deep breath and felt that she was about to explode.
I took the initiative to befriend you, but you daren’t give me face!?
This is humiliating, simply a burning shame!
Shen Tian, you’re really going too far!
When have I, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saintess, been humiliated like this!?
At that moment, a loud shout came from outside.
“Master Celestial, don’t worry!’
“The Myriad Spirit Garden Enforcers are here! Who dares to be disrespectful toward Master Celestial?”
Shen Tian looked outside the inn through the window that Eunuch Gui had broken. He saw a group of Enforcers using Sword Kinesis Flight and flying in the distance.
Their formation was sometimes in a straight horizontal line, while other times V-shaped.
The three leaders in the front were all familiar faces.
The three Golden Core Enforcer leaders were extremely excited.
Who knew that they would have the chance to curry favor with Master Celestial again in just a few days?
It could be said that they were favored by fate. Thus, they used their full abilities to reach this place fast.
“Where did this evil cultivator come from? How do you dare to make a move toward Master Celestial?”
“Gather, Evil Execution Sword Formation, attack!”
The bright golden light from their swords gathered together, and the tens of Enforcers became one with the swords.
A huge sword aura, which was tens of meters long, shot toward Zhang Yunxi directly!
