Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 190: Chapter 141: Heavy Sky (Added for book friend 171021102948988)_2

The sky poses a greater threat to beings with Spiritual Power, yet that doesn’t mean it’s kindly disposed towards ordinary life.

The little mouse’s condition seemed to match what Junior Master Zhuge described as soul dispersal, and with the Golden Winged Beetle, not only its soul but even its body had dispersed.

One can imagine how terrifying the strong winds are, and this world is covered by them.

Li Shiming couldn’t help but look downward; the earth was still the same, but he now had his doubts about the physical laws of this world.

Having confirmed the existence and dangers of the Thirty-Three Heavens, he no longer lingered and flew downward.

When he reached a certain altitude, he switched to the Jade Flying Boat and returned in the direction of Eagle Beak Island.

Approaching Eagle Beak Island, Li Shiming saw a petite figure waiting outside the island, standing atop a paper crane.

“Fei’er?” Li Shiming recognized her as Ren Fei’er, whom he had not seen for a year.

Upon seeing him, Ren Fei’er burst into tears with a “waah”.

Confined by her mother for a year, her daily routine was cultivation, with her only living spaces being a cave dwelling, its encompassing garden, and the mountain peak where the garden was located.

Besides her mother and a few maidservants, she hadn’t seen anyone else for a year.

Forced every day by her mother to cultivate and to study various secret techniques, she felt that this year had been particularly difficult.

Especially with Li Shiming on her mind, yet unable to contact him, she felt him drifting further and further away from her.

“Fei’er, don’t cry, you’ve already reached the Qi Refining Eighth Layer; your cultivation speed is really impressive!” Li Shiming, familiar with Ren Fei’er’s temperament, consoled and praised her.

“I have been diligently cultivating every day!” Hearing the praise, Ren Fei’er’s tears lessened considerably, and glancing at Li Shiming, who was only at the Qi Refining Fifth Level, she spoke with a hint of pride.

“You didn’t sneak out this time, did you?” Li Shiming asked, somewhat concerned.

He remembered well that Ren Fei’er had a record of sneaking out several times, and it was because of her last escapade that she had been caught by her mother and locked away for a year.

“Of course not, I came to the Sky Sea Sect to see my father, and I also wanted to see how you were doing!” Ren Fei’er said proudly, raising her head.

As she spoke, her gaze fixed on the Jade Flying Boat. She compared her paper crane with the Jade Flying Boat.

Li Shiming might not have a good impression of the Holy Ice Sect, but he had to admit that the Jade Flying Boat they crafted was truly beautiful.

Although sometimes willful, Ren Fei’er wouldn’t directly ask for such a valuable Flying Boat.

“Big brother, your Flying Boat is so beautiful, how about we trade?”

But she couldn’t ignore the beauty of the Jade Flying Boat, its crystal-like shell enhanced by a special Formation, making its surface appear almost transparent, showcasing stunning beauty.

She took out a Flying Boat of her own, a classic wooden one, exquisitely decorated.

Li Shiming didn’t need to touch it; the wooden Flying Boat Ren Fei’er presented, while not as visually pleasing as the Jade Flying Boat, was of superior quality.

“Fei’er, this Flying Boat of mine was obtained from a cultivator of the Holy Ice Sect, and it might cause you some trouble if you use it. Besides, your Flying Boat is actually better than mine. It’s better not to trade!” Li Shiming gently advised.

“Big brother, you didn’t give me a present for my birthday last year, and my birthday this year is coming up soon!” Ren Fei’er still had tears in her eyes as she looked at Li Shiming.

She didn’t plead, but her intention was clear.

Li Shiming really didn’t know how to reason with her; after all, she had been locked up for an entire year, so there was no way he could have celebrated her birthday.

Furthermore, since when did cultivators value birthdays? Normally, apart from significant birthdays, regular birthdays are ignored by cultivators.

“Alright, you can use it for now, and we can switch back when you tire of it. But you must be careful, my Flying Boat was obtained from a Holy Ice Sect cultivator!” Li Shiming reluctantly shrunk the Jade Flying Boat and, while handing it over, he earnestly cautioned her.

Li Shiming wasn’t truly worried that Ren Fei’er would encounter any trouble over the Jade Flying Boat; on that day, the mere presence of Ren Fei’er’s mother had killed countless late-stage Qi Refining strength sea beasts.

Such strength absolutely belonged to the existence of a Golden Core Elder level, and with such a powerful mother, it was impossible for the Holy Ice Sect to cause trouble for Ren Fei’er over a Flying Boat.

Ren Fei’er happily handed over her own Flying Boat to Li Shiming, who carefully received the Jade Flying Boat, her small face full of the joy of receiving a gift.

After Li Shiming handed over the Jade Flying Boat, he erased his refining imprint.

When he took over the Flying Boat, he found that Ren Fei’er had similarly removed her imprint.

“Oh no, I almost forgot!” Ren Fei’er had just refined the Jade Flying Boat when she remembered something important; she handed a Jade Scroll to Li Shiming.

“It’s all your fault for coming back so late. I have to go back now, or else I’ll be confined again!” It seemed she was reprimanded by her mother once before, so she didn’t dare stay longer. While speaking, she enlarged the Jade Flying Boat, hopped onto it, and left.

Watching the figure of Ren Fei’er disappearing into the distance, Li Shiming wondered whether she was in such a hurry to ride the Jade Flying Boat and play that she made up that excuse.

He looked at the Jade Scroll in his hand and hesitated for a moment before placing it against his forehead.

The Jade Scroll recorded the complete “Devil’s Sound into the Ear” Cultivation Technique. Compared to the “Devil’s Sound into the Ear (Fake)” that he had come up with in collaboration with IBMz15, the power of this “Devil’s Sound into the Ear” was much stronger, especially the bizarre application of Spiritual Power Pattern, which was indeed extremely intricate.

Of course, the “Devil’s Sound into the Ear” Cultivation Technique was of little use to him, but it could reinforce his fused “Devil Sound Lotus,” balancing the sound of the Buddha with the devil’s sound and naturally increasing its power.

“Devil’s Sound into the Ear” was a Cultivation Technique from the Xuanming Sect, and Ren Fei’er had casually taken it out. Li Shiming became even more certain about her identity.

However, he couldn’t understand why the cultivators from Xuanming Sect could freely enter the territory of the Sky Sea Sect.

He didn’t think much of it, though. His sense of belonging to the Sky Sea Sect was limited, and while he didn’t have a good impression of the Xuanming Sect either, it didn’t affect his friendship with Ren Fei’er.

In the depths of a cave dwelling at the peak of Central Peak, Elder Yin was brewing tea for Elder Ren.

“Qian Qian, Old Monster Baili took a big loss this time; you need to be more cautious!” Elder Yin slightly adjusted his tone and whispered softly.

“What kind of loss did Old Monster Baili suffer? Wasn’t he just threatened a bit? Is he really that petty?” Ren Qianqian, enjoying the service of Elder Yin, lifted her head and spoke with some confusion.

The gazes of the two Golden Core cultivators met, sensing that something was amiss.

“Old Monster Baili was trapped near the waters of the Sky Sea Sect; not only did he lose a treasure, but he was also severely injured. He went back to Holy Ice Sect and entered seclusion. It took him over three months just to barely be able to leave his dwelling, and a full recovery will take much longer.

He said he fell into a trap you set up. Is there anyone else besides you with such capabilities?” Elder Yin said with confusion.

“So now I can only ambush and sneak attack? How about we find a place and have a battle now to see if you, in your Golden Core Middle Stage, can get the better of me!” Ren Qianqian heard another meaning in his words and said with bulging eyes.

“It wasn’t you?” Elder Yin’s handsome face broke into a smile while he poured Spiritual Tea for Ren Qianqian, carefully confirming.

“I just found out when you told me. If it was a trap I set up, letting Old Monster Baili suffer such a huge loss, how could I possibly let him leave alive!” Ren Qianqian shook her head.

“Then we need to clarify things with Old Monster Baili and make sure he doesn’t target the wrong enemy!” Elder Yin said with a frown.

He didn’t want to make a deadly enemy of Elder Baili over something he hadn’t done.

A treasure was the foundation of a sect.

To create a treasure, many different grade three materials are needed, and some even include a small amount of even more precious materials to increase its power.

Golden Core cultivators generally possess one to two treasures, the most vital being the life-bound treasure.

Considering that Elder Baili was active after only three months, what he lost couldn’t have been his life-bound treasure.

“Old Monster Baili’s Resentment Sword has been destroyed!” Ren Qianqian made a quick judgment, the smile that appeared on the corner of her mouth was definitely not out of sympathy for Elder Baili.

Elder Baili had two treasures in total, and his life-bound treasure wasn’t an offensive one, so Elder Baili’s combat power was greatly reduced. This was indeed good news.
