Chapter 064: Body Tempering
The new arrival is from one of the Six Great Sects, the Nirvana Sect. The man who spoke just now is a cultivator at the Golden Core stage. He is followed by two male cultivators in gray robes at the Foundation Establishment stage, as well as two beautiful female cultivators who are also at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Su Tingyun can’t help but glance a bit more at the woman in a plain-colored long dress. She has a beautiful appearance, with a small smile on her face. She looks very familiar.
Su Tingyun has a good memory. She recalls the conversation with Xiao Mei about repaying debts and seeking revenge. Now, she remembers that the woman’s name is Zi Yuan, the one who provided them with a Pill bottle, which saved Xiao Mei’s life. Back then, they thought this group’s cultivation was unfathomable, but now it seems they’re only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
After recognizing one of them, the rest are also familiar. Except for Zi Yuan, to whom she has a debt of gratitude, the others are unpleasant, especially the other female cultivator. Today, she wears a dark green embroidered, cloud-patterned dress, with three swirling hems. She is currently looking down with disdain at the cultivators from the Obliteration Sword Tower, exuding an arrogant demeanor.
The one in the gray robe is the guy who threw a few pieces of low-grade spirit stones on the ground. Thinking of these people, Su Tingyun feels uncomfortable. She wishes to teach them a lesson, but her strength is currently insufficient. More importantly, they are disciples from one from one of the six great sects. In comparison, the Obliteration Sword Tower is in a weak position. If their actions cause trouble for the sect, it would be a grave sin.
Su Tingyun sneakily glances at her Little Uncle, unsure of how he will handle the situation.
At a time like this, perhaps it’s best to step back and let bygones be bygones. The Sect Leader’s and the others have already stood up, preparing to leave. Even the hired Foundation Establishment cultivators have long distanced themselves from the scene.
Just at this moment, the Golden Core cultivator leading the Nirvana Sect’s group has his expression change all of a suddenly. Subsequently, he starts to dance on the spot, like a performer baring fangs and brandishing claws.
“Senior Brother Xu, what’s happening to you?” The female cultivator in the dark green dress quickly grabs the man’s hand and anxiously asks. Unexpectedly, the man she called ‘Senior Brother Xu’ turns around and directly embraces her without any regard. He then starts licking and biting her face. This behavior leaves everyone around them stunned.
Initially, the female cultivator is taken aback, but then she pretends to resist. Yet her body goes limp like a boneless creature. Her voice becomes particularly sweet, “Senior Xu, what’s wrong with you? Don’t be like this…”
Moreover, she even deliberately turns her head to glance at Zi Yuan, who looks dumbfounded beside her. After provoking her in this way, Zi Yuan’s face turns pale. She bites her lip and doesn’t say a word, instead surveying the surroundings with her eyes.
“Who’s behind this?” Zi Yuan’s voice is cool as she gazes directly at the cultivators from the Obliteration Sword Tower, “Is it you?”
“How could it be us? The one with the highest cultivation among us is in the Golden Core stage, and we’re all sword cultivators,” Zhan Yu immediately raises his hands in a gesture of innocence, “We’re giving up our spot now; don’t blame us.”
With a tearing sound, the female cultivator’s clothes are ripped, revealing a large portion of her shoulder. Meanwhile, the Golden Core cultivator’s hands are reaching into her clothes, then starts rubbing.
Upon witnessing this scene, Bai Su rubs his temples again, and Ren Jia’s forehead twitches. What on earth is Ren Yi doing?
Ren Yi looks innocent and explains through a transmission, “I just cast an illusionary formation on him. Who would’ve thought he had such things in his mind? Also, that woman could just push him away, and it’ll be over. And isn’t she intentionally make her voice sound coquettish?”
The Nirvana Sect is a major sect, and they can’t allow this madness to continue. However, the one going mad is in the Golden Core stage, while the other four are just in the Foundation Establishment stage– they can’t restrain him at all.
“Yao Huang, push him away!” Unable to attack and unable to pull him away, the one who tries to intervene is slapped away by their senior brother. Now, they can only shout at Yao Huang.
The female cultivator shows a tearful expression, “I can’t push him away!” Since the person going mad is their senior brother, they dare not use force. They can only watch in frustration as he skillfully begins to undress her. The jade-green embroidered bellyband is about to be revealed. Yao Huang, the female cultivator, starts to panic.
Although she wants to follow her senior brother, not at a time like this, when there are too many people watching around. Most importantly, there’s clearly something wrong with her senior brother right now. What if he denies everything later? She is anxious too, “Who’s causing this trouble? Our Nirvana Sect will definitely not let this go.”
After yelling, she is muffled by the other party, she could only let out whimpering sounds.
When the senior brother finally releases her and starts removing his own clothes, she sternly shouts, “What are you looking at? Keep staring, and I’ll gouge out your eyes!”
They are all in the Foundation Establishment stage, even if they set up a barrier, it won’t stop others. The other two disciples have already contacted the sect, but it’s been a long time, and they still haven’t arrived. Could it be that they’ve clashed with someone else?
…
Su Tingyun has been wondering who has the ability to play tricks on a Golden Core stage cultivator like this. She secretly observes her fellow sect members and feels that none of them seem likely. Just then, she notices that one of them, Ren Yi (Bai Su in disguise), is frowning slightly, seemingly displeased.
At this moment, the Golden Core stage cultivator, whose pants are halfway down, suddenly regains consciousness. Initially stunned, he quickly pulls up his pants and angrily shouts, “Who used underhanded tricks? I, Xu Feng, will not let this person live under the same sky. Come out!”
Yao Huang, still in tears, hurriedly puts on her clothes. Just as she pitifully calls out, “Senior Brother,” Xu Feng loudly commands, “Get lost!” Startled by his outburst, she bursts into tears.
This scene turns into a big joke for the spectators of the Nirvana Sect.
However, those who can stay near the entrance of the Immortal Palace’s main hall are all cultivators with considerable strength, mostly disciples from other major sects. At this moment, they simply sit down and start cultivating, paying no attention to his words.
Su Tingyun and her group are excluded from entering due to their relatively low cultivation level. However, because the other party wants to investigate the situation, they are not allowed to leave. Everyone decides to meditate and cultivate in place, awaiting the arrival of the cultivators from the Nirvana Sect.
“The spiritual energy here is extremely rich, a hundred times stronger than those spiritual veins and springs. Make good use of this time for cultivation,” says the Sect Leader Lingxiao.
Su Tingyun starts circulating her cultivation method. With average aptitude, her absorption of spiritual energy is not particularly fast. However, after sitting down, something feels off today. Her ring heats up intensely, causing her fingertips to ache. She struggles to focus, and even the Pill Fire within her starts to stir restlessly, burning stronger than before.
Feeling uncomfortable all over, she tries to concentrate and calm herself. After a while, she manages to ease the discomfort slightly. However, while she hasn’t been cultivating for long, a commotion arises around her. Thinking it’s the cultivators from Nirvana Sect, she opens her eyes, only to find everyone staring at her.
The spiritual energy in this Immortal Palace is quite peculiar, not evenly distributed. The areas near the main and rear gates of the palace have the most, followed by the side gates. In other words, the spiritual energy is denser near the major entrances, giving the impression that the extremely rich spiritual energy is overflowing from inside the palace.
People with higher cultivation aptitude, especially those with the legendary Heavenly Spirit Body, might induce spiritual energy whirlpools or other celestial phenomena when cultivating in such abundant energy. At this moment, however, the entire Immortal Palace’s spiritual energy is rushing toward the main gate, creating a faint green hue visible even to the naked eye.
Su Tingyun has a massive spiritual energy vortex above her head. As the spiritual energy from the Immortal Palace converges around her, not only are the people originally present in this area astonished, but even those who rushed here from other places are left in a state of shock.
—
Bai Su isn’t particularly interested in the Immortal Palace. The so-called abundant spiritual energy here doesn’t differ much from the most ordinary places of the realm where he comes from. He thinks this so-called Immortal Palace is just a little toy concocted by people from their realm for casual amusement.
However, seeing Su Tingyun in this state surprises him. With her aptitude, even the pampered elites of the upper realms might not match up.
Not even he can compare.
Yet, the other party’s bone age and aptitude are clear at a glance, showing no outstanding features whatsoever. She is plain and unremarkable in every aspect, with the only noteworthy detail being a somewhat familiar tone in her speech.
Her voice is anything but ordinary.
Whether or not she possesses high-grade magical treasures, Bai Su can discern at a glance. At this moment, he hasn’t completely figured out what has caused these anomalies.
This strange occurrence has attracted the top experts in this realm. Sensing several auras approaching rapidly, Bai Su’s brows slightly furrow, and he gently taps his hand which has been resting on his leg.
“What does M’Lord mean? Is he planning to eliminate everyone?” Ren Yi observes that hand with an anxious expression, speculating about his lord’s intentions. There are several Tribulation Transcendent experts approaching. Is it time to start tossing Immortal Treasures again?
It feels a bit hard to part with them.
The one absorbing spiritual energy like crazy isn’t Su Tingyun, but the ring in her hand. However, Su Tingyun could see that no one seems to have realized it’s because of this ring. Otherwise, everyone wouldn’t be focusing on her but on the ring.
“Master,” Su Tingyun sees the stunned expression on Zhan Yu’s face and speaks with a hint of concern.
Zhan Yu immediately regains his composure, “Let’s go!”
The disciples of the Obliteration Sword Tower naturally understand that staying here makes them easy targets. Everyone gets up to leave, with Yan Yuqing bringing up the rear, sword at the ready. As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators recruited earlier, they have long since fled.
For some reason, there is no one stopping them from leaving at this moment. However, they can only move to places with fewer people since they can only leave the Immortal Palace after the Soaring Dragon Pillars disappear.
What’s even more shocking is that the spiritual energy moves along with them. In other words, at this moment, spiritual energy has been taken away, and others are unable to cultivate.
“Could that be a Heavenly Spirit Body?” someone murmurs in the haze.
“Doesn’t seem like it,” another person speaks, “Let’s observe. We’ve been unable to crack the secrets of the Immortal Palace, and now with this anomaly, it might be a good thing.”
“Yes, let’s wait a bit longer,” a third voice says.
The spiritual energy continues to surge into Su Tingyun’s body, but it’s just an illusion. What’s truly absorbing the spiritual energy is her ring.
As the ring takes in the spiritual energy, a refreshing sensation flows from her fingertips into her body. Su Tingyun feels incredibly comfortable, almost weightless as she walks. Despite her initial worries, the soothing sensation takes over, and she can’t help but sport a faint smile on her face.
It’s like she’s so shocked that she can’t help but laugh foolishly.
As for Bai Su, the perplexity on his face deepens. His consciousness is exceptionally powerful, and his attention to detail surpasses that of others. He can even see that in a short period of time, her aptitude is gradually undergoing changes.
It’s as if these spiritual energies are giving her a profound transformation, down to her bones. How is this possible? If there were truly such spiritual energies, even in his realm, people would be competing fiercely for them.
Or perhaps, these are not simply ordinary spiritual energies?
He stares intently at Su Tingyun, and the intensity of his gaze makes her feel a shiver like there’s a thorn on her back. When she turns around, she sees a stranger with unblinking eyes fixed on her.
Oh no, he’s not a stranger.
Su Tingyun, having been a granny for over a decade, has long shed the girlish antics of her youth. For instance, now when she notices someone staring at her, her initial reaction isn’t bashfulness but a straightforward inquiry, “What’s up? Hungry? Need watering? A flower wreath? Want help?”
“What’s the matter? Is anything wrong, Ren San?” Remembering that this person is a new disciple of her Little Uncle, Su Tingyun asks amicably.
Bai Su: “…”
“I’m Ren Yi,” he calmly states.
Behind him, Ren Yi peeks out, pulling Ren Jia along, “I’m Ren Er, and he’s Ren San. Senior sister, don’t get it wrong.”
Ren Jia: “He’s addicted to playing around.”
Happy Daoist
