Chapter 171: Please Take A Look, Is This The Nirvana Holy Liquid?
Shen Tian was extremely conflicted as he had to face the Big Dipper’s Saint. He was thinking of how he should humiliate Chen Zhongtian and make it seem as if it was something natural.
Meanwhile, in Chen Zhongtian’s eyes, Shen Tian had an “indifferent and aloof” expression.
As expected of the Divine Firmament’s Saint. Not only does he have a dignified and imposing appearance, but he’s also neither conceited nor rash. He must be extremely open-minded.
Chen Zhongtian inwardly admired Shen Tian.
Although the Big Dipper and Divine Firmament were not on good terms, the sacred grounds’ evaluations of each other were basically the same. It would not be too biased because of one’s position.
In Chen Zhongtian’s opinion, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s true disciples were basically useless, and his belief intensified when he brought out the Nirvana Holy Liquid, which was a part of Qi Shaoxuan’s fortuitous opportunity.
He used a blatant scheme to suppress the Divine Firmament, and those true disciples had let their emotion get the better of them, completely unable to conceal their anger. Their mindsets could not be compared to the Sacred Leader—this sly old fox—at all!
On the other hand, this new Saint’s face didn’t betray the slightest hint of anger. He just looked at Chen Zhongtian emotionlessly. Even Chen Zhongtian, who was proficient in reading others, could not guess what Shen Tian was thinking.
More importantly, Chen Zhongtian had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage faster than those of the same age, yet he was unable to sense Shen Tian’s cultivation level when facing him.
This Shen Tian is as mysterious as a vast ocean or a black hole. I’m unable to see through him. He must be a fearsome existence, comparable to Senior Brother Shaoxuan!
No!
Chen Zhongtian shook his head forcibly.
This is a misconception, an illusion that this fellow has cast on me!
How could I question Senior Brother Shaoxuan’s authority just because this guy has a dignified and imposing appearance?
Senior Brother Shaoxuan is unique and unmatched! So what if this fellow’s cultivation level is quite strong and has a heavenly aura?
The most important thing in the cultivation world is one’s divine destiny. Only if one is blessed by providence and encounters fortuitous opportunities will they be protected by the Heavenly Dao at all times.
Senior Brother Shaoxuan obtained about 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid on a random experiential journey. Can this guy do that?
At that thought, Chen Zhongtian finally calmed himself down. “Senior Brother Shen, I’ve often heard about your great name.”
Shen Tian was still in conflict whether to offend Chen Zhongtian, so he replied out of reflex, “Where did you hear it?”
“...”
I was only making a polite remark! WTF do you mean where did I hear it? You’re taking advantage of my polite remark!
Chen Zhongtian took a deep breath. “Senior Brother Shen, I mean, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Not for me,” Shen Tian could not help but murmur upon seeing Chen Zhongtian’s bright yet fake smile.
Frankly speaking, if Chen Zhongtian was only dissing Shen Tian himself, the latter might just laugh it off as Chen Zhongtian also had a pale gold halo. There was no need to have a dispute. The problem was, the Big Dipper Sacred Ground was dissing the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, making things difficult!
The Sacred Leader had called out Shen Tian to face Chen Zhongtian one on one. If he failed to meet up to the Sacred Leader’s expectations, what if the Sacred Leader stacked the deck against him?
In the end, Shen Tian could only adjust his mindset. He had to be innovative and deal critical hits with each strike!
However, honestly speaking, it was really not easy to do it.
Just as Shen Tian was deep in thought, a drastic change occurred on White Lotus Mountain once again. A female disciple in white ran out of the secret room, her face full of panic and at a loss.
“Bad news, bad news! Sacred Leader, Martial Uncle, Master, First Senior Brother’s Golden Core started to crack once again!”
Like a boulder falling into the lake, that female disciple’s words resulted in a raging torrent.
The lightning and heavenly aura surrounding the Sacred Leader slightly fluctuated as he walked into the secret room. The old Taoist priest and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus followed closely behind.
The other true disciples saw that no one stopped them, so they also followed behind tightly.
This drastic change allowed Chen Zhongtian to heave a sigh of relief. He was under huge pressure when facing Shen Tian.
“Senior Brother Fang Chang is in danger? Senior Brother Shen, let’s get to know each other later. We should go and see Senior Brother Fang Chang first!”
Shen Tian nodded and walked toward the secret room where Fang Chang was, extremely anxious. He was about to see Fang Chang and did not wish for anything to happen to him. He also did not hope that Fang Chang’s Qi Deviation had something to do with him.
Although Shen Tian frequently deceived people to freeload their providence, he was a good person.
Everyone entered the secret room and quickly arrived at the White Lotus Mountain’s core healing ground.
The Sacred Leader and others had already entered a special array formation s.p.a.ce, which isolated everyone else. The array formation s.p.a.ce was transparent, so Shen Tian and the others could see the scenery within—Fang Chang lying on a bed.
He had become much thinner, while his face was white as a sheet and seemed to have been injured heavily. Of course, that was not the main point—the important thing was his halo had changed.
When Shen Tian had first encountered Fang Chang, his halo had been pure gold. However, now, Shen Tian could see that Fang Chang’s halo had turned to a mixture of gold and red.
Evidently, Fang Chang’s providence was decreasing, the reason obvious. Shen Tian confirmed his speculation—it was because of him!
It seemed that the people from whom Shen Tian stole their fortuitous opportunities would not only face a decrease in providence, but they might even face a calamity!
...
The Sacred Leader took out the fist-sized Nirvana Holy Liquid within the array formation s.p.a.ce. He refined the Nirvana Holy Liquid’s drops, which in turn entered Fang Chang’s body and restored the cracks.
Facts proved that the Nirvana Holy Liquid was indeed useful to Fang Chang as the hideous cracks on his Golden Core were being healed.
Although that was good news, brutal bad news followed—Fang Chang’s injury had worsened, and 500mL of Nirvana Holy Liquid were not sufficient.
After the Nirvana Holy Liquid was completely absorbed, only a few of the cracks on his Golden Core had healed. According to the number of cracks on Fang Chang’s Golden Core, this bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid was not even enough to save Fang Chang’s life.
Boom!
The door of the array formation s.p.a.ce opened. Heavenly Venerable White Lotus walked out of it in a hurry, and she stared right at Chen Zhongtian.
“Do you still have any more Nirvana Holy Liquid? I can pay twice the price to buy it and also owe you a favor.”
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was a famous expert doctor in the Eastern Wilderness, and her favor was quite valuable.
It was only a pity that Chen Zhongtian really did not have any Nirvana Holy Liquid left—that was a priceless treasure, after all.
He sighed and replied, “Heavenly Venerable, please forgive me. I really don’t have any Nirvana Holy Liquid left, so I am unable to help. If time permits, I can rush to the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground and try to ask for more holy liquid.”
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus shook her head. “It will be too late. Fang Chang cannot last without the holy liquid.”
Chen Zhongtian thought, Looks like Fang Chang is going to die today.
Fang Chang’s injury is severe, and his condition in critical danger. Without more than 25L of Nirvana Holy Liquid, it will be impossible for him to recover completely.
L of Nirvana Holy Liquid is so precious that even Senior Brother Shaoxuan will feel the pinch if he were to part with it.
In Chen Zhongtian’s mind, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground should start making arrangements for Fang Chang’s funeral. There was no need to persevere anymore.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Shen Tian’s voice echoed.
“Aunt-Master White Lotus, could you see if what this bottle contains is the Nirvana Holy Liquid?”
As he spoke, a small jade bottle appeared in Shen Tian’s hands. It was filled with a silvery-white liquid, full of vitality.
Chen Zhongtian was petrified at the sight of that!
