Chapter 86 - 86 You Can Consider It as Retribution
86 You Can Consider It as Retribution
As the saying goes, an ordinary man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.
It was also why when Fang Jinyu obtained two magic treasures in the Lingdu Secret Realm, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster immediately summoned him to Mount Guiw.a.n.g, and helped him to close the Discipline Pearl that had been activated at that time. He also removed the images recorded by the Discipline Pearl.
The three magic treasures in the Lingdu Secret Realm were the opportunities that the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster deliberately left for the Qi Condensation stage disciples. Hence, he wouldn’t care about it.
However, it would be a different story to the other Core Formation stage and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!
The human heart was unfathomable.
Even though the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster’s cultivation base was high and he was one of the strongest cultivators in the Nine Desolations, he was helpless against the changes in one’s character.
Otherwise, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster wouldn’t have to suppress the aristocratic cultivation families and support the ordinary disciples.
It was because many ordinary sect disciples would often develop into new aristocratic cultivation families after they had achieved success in their cultivation.
At this moment, Su Yier suddenly turned around and left without saying a word.
Fang Jinyu watched her leave, then prepared to return.
Initially, Fang Jinyu wanted to find out more about the secret of nurturing spirit herbs in the Utopia Immortal City. However, he wasn’t in the mood to stay here any longer. After all, he was going against Su Yier so brazenly. His image as a villain had been completely sealed. No matter how well he disguised himself, it would be the same. After all, she wasn’t as pure as her little white lotus appearance.
Coincidentally, in the Utopia Immortal City, there was a Core Formation stage cultivator who was Su Yier’s favorite lackey!
Although he hadn’t become Su Yier’s lackey, as long as he wasn’t a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, there was a high chance that things would proceed exactly as described in the book.
Fang Jinyu boarded the stargazing flying ship and left the Utopia Immortal City.
The Qi Condensation stage disciples who had been accompanying Fang Jinyu naturally followed along. Therefore, the little girl who had run off to G.o.d knows where was also in Fang Jinyu’s room.
[Today is a day of showing off acting skills and studying the special spirit herbs in the Utopia Immortal City. Moreover, you’ve gained a little.]
[Refined the truth of Utopia Immortal City’s special spirit herb +1]
This time, there was no flood of information in Fang Jinyu’s mind, because the truth was extremely short and could be understood with a glance. Once cultivators cultivated the special cultivation technique, it would start to drain their vitality.
Since the spirit herbs had obtained the nourishment of vitality, their medicinal effects would naturally skyrocket. They could reach the level of a 500-year-old spirit herb while they had only grown for 100 years!
However, although the special spirit herbs had achieved their medicinal effect and seemed to be full of spirituality… However, since the special spirit herbs had been absorbing the cultivator’s vitality for a long time, even if they were refined into elixirs, they could still steal other people’s vitality!
If one only consumed a few elixirs, they would only lose a few years, a few months, or even a few days of vitality. Naturally, it would be impossible to tell.
After all, it was normal for cultivators to get injured in a fight or suffer a loss of lifespan due to improper cultivation.
However, if one started to consume many of those elixirs at a young age, it would naturally take away more vitality!
“No wonder Qi Mo’s lifespan is less than 60 years despite being a Core Formation stage cultivator.”
After knowing the truth about the special spirit herbs, Fang Jinyu could only think of a word in his heart regarding Qi Mo’s situation—Retribution.
Or it could be said that Qi Mo deserved it.
“You’ve been looking at these spirit herbs for half a day, did you discover anything?” A small face suddenly appeared in front of Fang Jinyu, and because of the speed, their noses collided.
Fang Jinyu, who was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and had an extraordinary physique, was convulsing in pain.
On the contrary, Qing Fu was completely fine.
“Your physique… Did Ximen Jianyi really hit you back then?” Fang Jinyu covered his nose and hesitated to speak. He thought it hurt worse than getting clawed by a late-stage Foundation Establishment spirit beast.
“What?” Qing Fu blinked her eyes, her small face looking a little confused.
“I mean, how come you’re so strong?” Fang Jinyu tried his best to make it sound simple because it wasn’t only a powerful blow but also an attack on his divine sense.
Otherwise, Fang Jinyu, who had once endured the pain of refining his spiritual fire, wouldn’t be so overwhelmed.
“I don’t know either. I just suddenly became stronger, and then I took the opportunity to understand a few good things!” As Qing Fu spoke, she raised her small chin high.
Obviously, Qing Fu was hoping for Fang Jinyu to praise her.
Thus, Fang Jinyu did as she wished.
“You’re amazing!”
Fang Jinyu’s praise was perfunctory, but the little girl enjoyed it. She waved her hand and said generously, “Then I’ll teach you something good that I’ve understood.”
“Could it be the method you used to obtain information by eating the talisman tool?” Fang Jinyu’s spirits lifted as he asked.
Fang Jinyu didn’t lack offensive or defensive techniques. Although he hadn’t successfully cultivated a technique of travel, he already had one.
Other than that, Fang Jinyu also had a wondrous technique like the fortune-telling technique!
The only thing Fang Jinyu lacked was this kind of detection technique.
“That won’t do…” It was rare for the little girl to hesitate. Although she didn’t know how amazing her secret techniques were, a voice in her heart told her that they were extremely precious. They were far beyond “I’m good at hiding,” opening up a “mystery realm,” or “I guess you can’t hit me.”
Hence, after tilting her head and pondering for a while, the little girl frowned and said hesitatingly, “If you want to learn, you have to tell me if you discovered any secrets when you looked at those spirit herbs!”
Qing Fu was curious since she had been watching Fang Jinyu intently. However, she couldn’t discover anything when she tried to look at it!
It made Qing Fu want to know what Fang Jinyu had discovered.
“Alright! It’s a deal!”
Fang Jinyu naturally agreed, but he was afraid that the little girl would go back on her words. Hence, he quickly told her the secret of the special spirit herbs.
“The spirit-vitality devour technique?”
The little girl blurted it out subconsciously.
The little girl blinked in confusion and asked Fang Jinyu, “What’s the spirit-vitality devour technique?”
Fang Jinyu pointed at himself and asked, “Do you think I know?”
It was the first time Fang Jinyu had heard of such a thing!
Moreover, Fang Jinyu had just heard it a second ago.
...
“Oh! Then listen carefully…” The little girl began to teach Fang Jinyu how to cultivate the secret technique that allowed him to obtain information by eating something.
There wasn’t much to say, so Qing Fu quickly finished. Fang Jinyu’s expression became extremely interesting.
It was because, as soon as the little girl finished speaking, Fang Jinyu’s fortune-telling technique reacted.
The reaction speed was a factor of five.
Fang Jinyu didn’t dare use his luck to figure out the origins of the secret technique. He tried to figure it out on his own and found that it could be divided into two parts.
The first part was to merge weapons into his body.
The second part was to spy on luck.
There was also a threshold to cultivate the secret technique, which was that cultivators must at least rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.
“How is it? Don’t you feel that it’s very powerful? That’s why I call it—I eat a lot, but I’m super strong!”
“It’s a good name!” Fang Jinyu said it while going against his conscience.
