Chapter 242: Senior Sister Advances, Spiritual Possession
In the Lei Chi market, in Zheng Fa’s courtyard.
The room was filled with spiritual materials, and everywhere was lush and green. The quiet room where Zheng Fa practiced was decorated like a greenhouse.
Zheng Fa sat on the couch, looking at these spiritual materials, but he was still thinking about his two senior sisters.
After the two senior sisters came back, they just told him to practice well and then left on their own - even Senior Sister Yuan, who was the most fond of food, didn't even look at these spiritual materials.
Oh, maybe he doesn’t dare to look at it, for fear that he won’t be able to walk after looking at it.
He shook his head, without thinking any more, and with a wave of his hand, a thunder vine flew into his fingers.
Zheng Fa mobilized the spiritual power in his hands and slowly absorbed the spiritual energy in the purple electric vine. His spiritual consciousness followed the spiritual energy and fell into his dantian.
There is still a square thunder field in the Dantian, and on the thunder field there is a slightly thick Fusang tree.
The hibiscus tree is red all over, and there is a faint heat coming out of it.
The heat spread from his dantian to his limbs, and seemed to strengthen his physique over time.
But this is far from enough to dispel Zheng Fa's opinion of Fuso wood...
Ever since this sacred tree moved into his dantian, it has absorbed an unknown amount of spiritual energy from spiritual materials, but it has grown extremely slowly, which has hindered the progress of his cultivation.
Sure enough, as soon as the spiritual energy of the purple electric vine was integrated into the thunder field, it was directly swallowed up by the Fuso tree.
This thing hasn't changed at all! Zheng Fa still didn't believe it - 20,000 Tian Gong was exchanged for a whole room of spiritual materials, couldn't it make this thing move a few times? ...
The sun in the sky gradually set, and more than 80% of the spiritual materials in the room had been used up.
Even Zheng Fa was a little tired, but the Fusang wood in his Dantian remained unchanged.
Zheng Fa also knew that this thing was a sacred tree, of extremely high quality, but it was too difficult to raise! Just when he was feeling a little desperate, the Fusang tree suddenly shook, and the red on the trunk gradually condensed into a hint of gold.
At this moment, a five-colored flower bud has grown on the top of the hibiscus tree.
The petals of this bud are tightly embraced together, as if nurturing some treasure.
At the moment the flower bud appeared, Zheng Fa felt the spiritual power all over his body vibrate and gather towards the flower bud.
The spirit and soul grew rapidly like the grass and trees in the mountains encountering the gentle rain.
Zheng Fa's spiritual awareness had long reached the limit of the foundation-building period - it could cover an area of 100 feet in radius.
Now with another breakthrough, he will enter the Golden Core Stage directly.
It expanded from a hundred feet to a radius of ten miles.
And from ten miles in radius to a hundred miles.
It was not until about one hundred and ten miles that the growth of his spiritual awareness slowly stopped.
Looking inside the body, the flower bud has already taken shape, and the five-colored petals are swaying gently on the branches.
Born Lei Hua...
This is the third realm of "The True Method of Divine Thunder Control", and it also symbolizes that Zheng Fa has stepped into the threshold of the late stage of foundation building. As long as he accumulates spiritual power and waits for the fruit of thunder energy - that is, the golden elixir to condense, he can form the elixir in one fell swoop.
He calculated that it only took him half a year to go from foundation building to the late stage of foundation building - not much slower than Qi training! Of course, the most important factor was the existence of the Heavenly Monument Realm, which allowed Zheng Fa to have spiritual material resources that others could not hope to obtain...
Just as he was calming down his spiritual power, a drop of water suddenly oozed out of the flower bud? Water drop?
Zheng Fa was stunned. He gently touched the water drop with his spiritual consciousness and immediately understood the origin of the water drop - this thing is called Fusang Spirit Dew, which is a by-product of the Fusang wood absorbing the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon.
This thing is not very useful to Zheng Fa.
But it is extremely useful for fire-attributed monsters, especially those with masculine fire attributes - if those monsters take this Fusang Spirit Dew, their blood will be purified and they may even be able to advance.
This is not the only drop of Hibiscus spiritual dew. In the future, the flower bud will condense a drop about every month.
As soon as Zheng Fa thought about it, the spiritual dew appeared at his fingertips.
The sunlight coming in from the window made the spiritual dew shine golden.
What also made Zheng Fa dizzy was the little golden crow that flew into Zheng Fa's house from the window.
"Give me!"
“I want to drink!”
"Just one bite!"
It stretched its neck and beak long towards Zheng Fa's fingertips as if it was crazy.
But Zheng Fa ruthlessly lifted it up by the neck with his hands, making it feel as if its beak was too long to reach it.
Zheng Fa looked Little Golden Crow up and down.
This bird... well, even though it couldn't transform into a human form, it has just as many thoughts as before.
When it first came to Zheng Fa, it seemed to be willing to tell him everything it knew.
He even helped them capture the demon.
But then he refused to say a word...
He just hangs around in the market pretending to be an ordinary crow.
Zheng Fa suspected that if it hadn't been coveting his body, the Golden Crow would have run away long ago - after all, the demon with the Qiongqi bloodline had said that the Great Sage Qingyun was coming.
This little Golden Crow probably doesn't think highly of the Jiushan Sect and has some other thoughts.
Staying here, just wanting to get my body for free! Not a good guy! Even with this, you still want to drink the spiritual dew?
It’s not like we don’t have other good guys at home! “Senior Sister Yuan!”
Zheng Fa's spiritual consciousness moved, and he sent a message to the good bird playing in Senior Sister Zhang's yard.
…
Senior Sister Yuan was originally eating snacks in Senior Sister Zhang's courtyard.
Senior Sister Zhang was sitting on a chair nearby, reading a few books that Zheng Fa had given her. Sometimes, halfway through a book, she would seem to have an epiphany and would close the book in deep thought.
When Zheng Fa transmitted the message, both of them thought something had happened. Their minds moved slightly, and they arrived in front of Zheng Fa's meditation room in an instant.
"Junior Brother Zheng, what's wrong?"
Senior Sister Yuan asked anxiously.
Zheng Fa used his hands to block the little golden crow, but the little golden crow seemed to be crazy and kept flapping towards the spiritual dew on Zheng Fa's fingertips.
In other words, it knew that it was dependent on others and did not use its spiritual power.
But it also has the foundation-building cultivation level, and the power in its body is already enormous.
It was a bit difficult for Zheng Fa to protect Linglu.
Seeing Senior Sister Yuan coming, Zheng Fa was delighted and said, "Senior Sister Yuan, open your mouth!"
"ah?"
The little golden crow seemed to understand Zheng Fa's thoughts and struggled even more fiercely. Zheng Fa was unable to explain for a while.
"I have something delicious for you!"
After saying that, Zheng Fa pointed his finger at Senior Sister Yuan.
"..." Senior Sister Yuan looked behind her and whispered, "Junior Brother Zheng, isn't this inappropriate?"
"Um?"
"Senior Sister Zhang is still here!"
“…”
…
Senior Sister Zhang had a stern face, stretched out her hand, and a talisman flew out, turning into a net that wrapped around the little golden crow, making it unable to move.
Only at this time did Zheng Fa have time to explain the origin of the Fusang Spirit Dew.
"You mean, this spiritual dew is extremely beneficial to fire-type monsters?"
Hearing this, Senior Sister Zhang's expression softened a little, and she said to Senior Sister Yuan, "So you want to give it to her?"
Hearing this, the little Golden Crow was not convinced: "I have my own bloodline inheritance in my soul. The Fusang tree and my Golden Crow clan have always lived in symbiosis. Give me this Fusang Spirit Dew. If I can cultivate the Golden Crow True Fire, it can help the Fusang tree grow!"
Zheng Fa really didn't know about this.
However, in the legend, Jinwu does have some relationship with the Fusang tree.
This little golden crow probably hid a lot of things.
On the other hand, this Fusang Spirit Dew is probably indeed the most suitable for Jinwu.
Seeing it say that, Senior Sister Yuan's face showed a conflicted and reluctant look. She looked at Zheng Fa, then at Little Golden Crow, and said, "Then give it to it..."
Obviously, she also understood that, considering only the benefits that Zheng Fa could obtain, Jinwu was probably the most suitable for this spiritual dew.
After saying that, she turned her head away, as if she didn't want to look at the spiritual dew anymore.
"Senior Sister Yuan."
"ah?"
Zheng Fa stretched out his hand and flicked the spiritual dew, which flew into Senior Sister Yuan's slightly opened mouth.
Gulp!
Senior Sister Yuan swallowed subconsciously.
Then he looked at Zheng Fa in a daze.
"I...swallowed it?"
Zheng Fa nodded with a smile.
"I..." Senior Sister Yuan looked at her belly with a sad face and said a little aggrievedly, "Say something!"
"I'm not afraid that you won't want it."
“I didn’t even taste anything…”
Senior Sister Zhang at the side shook her head, seemingly not surprised by his choice.
Little Golden Crow was very angry: "Let your emotions get the better of you, and let your mind be blinded by lust!"
Zheng Fa took a look at it and said, "If Senior Sister Yuan only thought about how to improve her cultivation and how to benefit herself, she wouldn't have given me all these spiritual materials."
Senior Sister Yuan seemed to understand that Zheng Fa was praising her, and she smiled foolishly and scratched her head.
"You said you could help the mulberry tree grow, but I only know that my mulberry tree can grow because of the spiritual materials my two senior sisters exchanged for me."
"hey-hey……"
Senior Sister Yuan looked at Zheng Fa with bright eyes, and suddenly muttered: "Junior Brother Zheng, the more I look at you, the more handsome you are..."
“…”
"But Junior Brother, please don't shake me. I feel a little dizzy!"
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang turned around at the same time and saw that Senior Sister Yuan seemed unable to open her eyes.
She seemed to be trying hard to open her eyes, with a tenacious fighting spirit on her face, but her increasingly smaller eyes proved that her efforts were in vain.
Until finally, Senior Sister Yuan's body went limp and she fell to the ground.
Senior Sister Zhang seemed to understand something, and with a wave of her hand, she moved her to the yard.
Sure enough, the next moment, Senior Sister Yuan revealed her true form—a huge blue phoenix collapsed on the ground, with golden flames seeping out from between its wings, as if it was roasting itself...
By this time, Little Golden Crow probably knew that he would not get the spiritual dew, so he stopped making noises and just looked at Qingluan with envy. He said, "Bloodline evolution... this hybrid Qingluan may be able to go one step further."
There was also a smile in Senior Sister Zhang's eyes, as if she was happy for Senior Sister Yuan.
"Junior Sister Yuan also wasted a long time in the early stage of the Golden Core. I didn't expect that the opportunity would fall on you."
Before Zheng Fa could say anything, he saw the Golden Crow suddenly spit out a golden light and landed in front of Zheng Fa.
"This is?"
"The spirit beast recognized its master?" It was Senior Sister Zhang who recognized it. She looked at the little golden crow and saw that the little golden crow's face was full of depression.
"This spiritual dew... is it so important to you?"
Zheng Fa knew very well that the little golden crow had been reserved before, but now suddenly wanted to recognize its master - it was tempted by the spiritual dew.
“What can I do…” Jinwu sighed, “It is difficult to advance the Jinwu bloodline nowadays. This spiritual dew is the most suitable spiritual object for me.”
"What's more... watching a half-blooded blue phoenix eat the most suitable spiritual medicine for itself and advance to the next level without any hesitation. Do you know how much damage this will cause?"
“…”
"This is not like your character..."
Zheng Fa was quite skeptical. This Golden Crow was obviously a relatively cautious person. Would he directly recognize his master just for the spiritual dew?
"…What do you think I'm doing in the market?"
Unexpectedly, the Golden Crow rolled his eyes and seemed a little proud of his own intelligence.
"Um?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The people in the market are all disciples of your Jiushan Sect. I can naturally find out what kind of person you are..."
Zheng Fa twitched his lips. He didn't expect that the Golden Crow would have such thoughts.
“Even Lin Bufan from the Great Freedom Demon Sect is living quite comfortably even after being captured by your Jiushan Sect.” Jinwu continued.
"He's living well as a prisoner. I came here on my own initiative. What do I have to be afraid of?"
In the Mysterious World, even birds are not stupid...
No, Senior Sister Yuan is! "Then I can't give you all of it..."
Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said.
He had already thought about it, that in the future, the spiritual dew would still have to be supplied by Senior Sister Yuan, the silly girl.
"I know, this half-blood Qingluan doesn't have such a good digestive ability..." Little Golden Crow's words sounded so humble that they made people feel pity for him. "There must be more."
Zheng Fa glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, who nodded to him. He stretched out his right hand and touched the ball of golden light.
The golden light seemed to have intelligence and quickly merged into the palm of his hand, following the meridians and straight into his dantian, transforming into a small golden crow shadow standing on the hibiscus tree.
The Fusang tree shook slightly, and actually felt a sense of joy. Perhaps the Golden Crow and the Fusang tree complemented each other, and now that the Golden Crow recognized its master, it would be of great benefit to the Fusang tree.
But it’s hard to tell the specific situation for the time being.
He looked at the little golden crow beside him and felt that the other party's life and death depended on his own thoughts.
After Jinwu recognized his master, the way he looked at Zheng Fa changed slightly - now there was probably a hint of uneasiness in his closeness.
Zheng Fa waved his hand, and the little golden crow understood what he meant. It flew to Zheng Fa's shoulder and let out a long sigh from its beak, as if it was extremely comfortable.
"Master, you are more seductive than that demon sect witch!"
“…”
In one sentence, Zheng Fa felt regretful.
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang were originally waiting for Senior Sister Yuan to advance, but it seemed that the evolution of her bloodline could not be completed in a short time.
Senior Sister Zhang simply waved her sleeves again, and Senior Sister Yuan was lifted up in the air.
"Senior Sister Zhang?"
"I'm afraid she'll need some time. Let her go to my yard."
Senior Sister Zhang explained.
As soon as the two of them walked into the courtyard and put down Senior Sister Yuan, a communication talisman flew over the courtyard wall and headed towards Senior Sister Zhang.
Senior Sister Zhang stretched out her hand and the communication talisman fell into her hand.
"A letter from Uncle Pang."
Senior Sister Zhang raised her eyebrows and said to Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa perked up and looked at Senior Sister Zhang who was reading a letter.
Uncle Master Pang had gone to ask for help from Master Tongming before. Master Tongming was the incarnation of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and it was said that he was a good person. At least Uncle Master Pang trusted him - Zheng Fa also believed in Uncle Master Pang's judgment.
After all, Uncle Pang’s judgment on the group of Nascent Soul cultivators from the Hundred Immortals Alliance was very accurate.
But Uncle Pang had been gone for more than a month and only sent back the news at this time. Zheng Fa was worried before.
After reading the letter, Senior Sister Zhang frowned, as if she was confused about something.
"Sister Zhang? How is it?" Zheng Fa asked hurriedly, "Did Uncle Pang invite Master Tongming?"
"I guess I've been invited."
Senior Sister Zhang hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Zheng Fa was even more puzzled: "Is it?"
At this time, Senior Sister Zhang's master, Senior Uncle Huang, also came in and said to the two of them, "Did you receive the letter too?"
Senior Sister Zhang nodded.
“What is said in this letter is actually something I have never heard of.” Uncle Huang sighed and frowned, “My Jiushan Sect is still missing the inheritance of the Divine Transformation.”
Zheng Fa became even more confused when he saw that the two of them were talking in a confusing manner.
Senior Sister Zhang seemed to understand his confusion and explained, "Since Master Tongming entered the Spiritual Transformation stage, he has rarely appeared in the Hundred Immortals Alliance. Even the Yuanying of Tongming Mountain rarely sees him."
"This time, Uncle Pang came to visit in person, but was stopped for a few days. If Uncle Pang hadn't insisted, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see Master Tongming - no, it should be said that I wouldn't have been able to see Master Tongming's spiritual treasure."
"Lingbao?"
Zheng Fa was stunned. The more he listened, the more confused he became.
"We only found out about this after Uncle Pang told us." Senior Sister Zhang continued, "According to Master Tongming, after he reached the state of spiritual enlightenment, he was not able to take action. He was in seclusion for almost a year, and it would take some time for him to even break out of it."
Zheng Fa nodded and said, "Just like the Great Sage Qingyun of the demon race."
"Yes, according to Master Tongming, if he breaks through the barrier rashly, it will be harmful to him. However, he will not stand idly by if something happens to the Hundred Immortals Alliance, so he lets his own spiritual treasure support our Nine Mountains Sect on his behalf."
"I don't want to kill the enemy, I just want to stop the Great Sage Qingyun and wait for him to come out."
Zheng Fa was still a little confused when he heard this.
"What exactly is this magical treasure? How could it be able to stop a god?"
The Xuanwei Realm has always had a distinction between magical instruments and magic treasures.
Generally speaking, magic weapons are probably of a lower grade and are mostly used by people below the Golden Elixir stage.
Magical weapons are much more precious, and most people’s magic weapons are their natal magic weapons.
There is a huge difference between the two in power, material, and value.
But Lingbao Zheng Fa had heard of it but had never seen it.
"Lingbao... is a treasure with its own spiritual wisdom. In layman's terms, it is a magical treasure with a spirit."
Senior Sister Zhang explained.
"I've heard before that spiritual treasures have intelligence, but Uncle Pang mentioned something else in his letter this time, which makes me a little concerned."
"What?"
"Uncle Pang said that Master Tongming told him that the current immortal sects, when they reach the stage of transformation into a spirit, need to use a spiritual treasure as a support for the transformation into a spirit - that is, the natal magic treasure is upgraded to the natal spiritual treasure, and the natal spiritual treasure can even be regarded as another self."
“That’s why Master Tongming said that letting Uncle Pang bring his own magic treasure back to help would be able to stop the Great Sage Qingyun.”
"Possession?"
Zheng Fa was stunned and looked at Senior Sister Zhang. Seeing that Senior Sister Zhang's eyes seemed thoughtful, he knew that she had the same idea as he did - the oath signed by Jiuyou.
The vows once said: "All living beings are ignorant and cannot be relied upon."
At that time, the two of them just thought that these words were just an exclamation.
Unexpectedly, the word "possession" was mentioned again in Uncle Pang's letter. More importantly, what Uncle Pang said was - possession by the spirit.
"What are you two doing with your eyes?!"
Uncle Huang on the side was not happy. He was a Yuanying after all, and he often couldn't understand what these two young people were saying. Zheng Fa glanced at Uncle Huang and said without hiding anything, "We saw a passage in the Tianbei Realm."
He spoke out that oath.
"Jiuyou... Demon Ancestor?"
Uncle Huang was also shocked by the name Jiuyou.
She looked Zheng Fa up and down, and suddenly sighed: "How could you, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, encounter these things... Why do I feel that you are more like a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator than I am?"
Senior Sister Zhang at the side shook her head and said, "Junior Brother, what do you think?"
Zheng Fa pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "There may be something wrong with what the Sword Immortal Canyang said."
"Huh? You said he lied to us?" Senior Sister Zhang frowned and said, "I don't think he has anything to hide."
"He is not lying to us, but he himself does not know what the new method of Venerable Tianhe is about." Zheng Fa walked slowly in the yard unconsciously, sorting out his thoughts as he walked.
"He knows that the current immortal sect has betrayed the Tianhe Reverend, and there is no talk of the Tianhe New Law now, so he thinks that the method we are practicing now is the magic method of the last era."
"You mean..." Senior Sister Zhang looked a little confused.
When Master Huang's face turned even uglier, it was obvious that he didn't understand.
“But after we studied the remains of that senior, we realized that the Tianhe New Method should include two aspects—one is refining the weapon into the body, and the other is the Zhuxian Method.”
Senior Sister Zhang nodded.
"So what?" Uncle Huang couldn't help but ask.
"Putting aside the statement of the Sword Immortal of the Remaining Sun, looking at this spiritual treasure, I feel that... I am afraid that the Immortal Sect has not completely abandoned the path of refining the weapon into the body, but has transformed it into the so-called spirit possession. What they gave up should be the method of killing the immortal."
"…It's possible…"
Zheng Fa had this idea mainly because of a doubt - the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm might be selfish, but they are definitely not stupid.
The times are always progressing. Although there are setbacks from time to time, good things will always be slowly accepted.
Thinking of this, he continued: "From what I have seen and heard in the Tianbei Realm, the current immortal sect methods, and the corpse of the Tianhe disciple before, I have some guesses about the development of immortal methods..."
"What guess?"
"The Shinto civilization of the Tianbei Realm represents a method of cultivating immortals - I will call it Shintoism for the time being."
"After that, there is the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, and perhaps other demon ancestors who created the magic sect together."
"Then there is the Tianhe Law created by Tianhe Venerable."
"We don't understand the Shinto method, so let's not discuss it for now. The method that the immortal sects practice nowadays is probably neither pure magic method nor pure Tianhe method, but a combination of the two, and I'm afraid the magic method is the main one."
Senior Sister Zhang was stunned for a long time before she spoke: "This is indeed more in line with the nature of the Xuanwei Realm cultivators... It's just using the Tianhe method to improve the Demon Sect's method..."
Zheng Fa was also speechless...
He didn't know whether Venerable Tianhe would be angry - you say it didn't inherit, but it did inherit. If you say it inherited, its core has changed. Not only has its core changed, it also brought its own dry food to surrender to the enemy!
They were silent for a while, and Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said, "I remembered another thing."
"Um?"
"You once said that you could use spiritual energy circuits to generate spiritual intelligence, and you also gave me a few books. Do you still remember?" Senior Sister Zhang asked Zheng Fa.
"Senior Sister Zhang, are you saying..."
"I was thinking, is this also the principle for magic weapons to generate spiritual intelligence?"
Senior Sister Zhang’s words made Zheng Fa’s eyes light up.
"No, how come you guys seem to be discussing a divine inheritance?"
Uncle Huang at the side opened his mouth and muttered.
