Chapter 1119: A Well-Intentioned Lie
"No problem, the calming tea you drank earlier was specifically arranged by Master for suppressing the demonic Qi within you. Do you feel better now?" Wu Jian explained, and indeed, it was true.
Wu Mengting nodded; she had no reason not to trust her father’s words.
"Mengting, while you were unconscious, I discussed a pretty thorough plan with the Master. Do you want to try it?" Wu Jian asked deliberately.
"Huh? What plan? Just tell me, Father. If it’s a good plan, of course, I’ll try it." Wu Mengting replied hurriedly.
"It’s like this, the plan is....."
Wu Jian informed Wu Mengting about the entire plan in detail. As expected, Wu Mengting had no doubts. Since it could free her from the troubles of demonic Qi and allow her to hold the child, why not do it?
However, when Wu Jian was explaining, he subtly changed a crucial part: the Evil Qi of the Five Elements Extreme Realm could suppress the demonic Qi, and then after giving birth to the child, Master Void had a way to eliminate it.
What a benevolent lie!
"Alright, Dad, then I’ve decided to participate in the Celestial Pill Sect’s trial. But how can I achieve those conditions you mentioned?" Wu Mengting asked.
"That’s something I need to discuss with Master Void. After all, your physique is a bit special, and I suddenly thought that practicing other Heart Methods might cause rejection." Wu Jian said.
Indeed, he hadn’t mentioned Wu Mengting’s Heaven-defying Physique when discussing with Master Void earlier.
Wu Mengting nodded, and at that moment, Master Void came out of the room with a box in hand, inside which were two Qi Gathering Pills.
Strictly speaking, they weren’t called Qi Gathering Pills, but rather true Super Qi Gathering Pills. Of course, they’re the kind commonly circulated in the market, not those raw materials in Chen Tianlong’s possession, which are called Peak Qi Gathering Pills.
The Qi Gathering Pills in Master Void’s hand were capable of elevating one to Celestial Dao Star Rank Level 4, but their purpose was simple: to upgrade Wu Mengting to Celestial Dao Star Rank 1.
However, these items were of no use to Master Void since he had already reached Celestial Dao Star Rank 7 Great Perfection, with no need for them. Moreover, as a monk who didn’t covet wealth, he wouldn’t sell them either.
"Master, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you. My daughter, Wu Mengting, she has a Sponge Physique."
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Master Void was taken aback, knowing well the significance of a Sponge Physique.
"Hehe, Master, she does indeed have a Sponge Physique, so raising her to Celestial Dao Star Rank 1 isn’t difficult. However, the Heart Method Mantra is lacking. I wonder if your Shaolin Temple has a suitable Heart Method for this physique." Wu Jian knew that Shaolin Temple had a multitude of Heart Methods of various kinds, so if they needed one, it wouldn’t be a problem, but finding a suitable one might be hard.
"Hmm~ Sponge Physique, let me think...."
After pondering for a while, Master Void suddenly said, "Got it, come with me to the Scripture Pavilion."
The two nodded and followed behind. A few minutes later, the three stood at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion, and after Master Void opened the door, they walked in.
The air here was a bit stale, indicating it hadn’t been cleaned in quite a while.
"There are hundreds of books here, and many secret manuals, but these aren’t suitable for either of you. Wu Jian, you’ve already reached the pinnacle; these are useless to you. As for your daughter Wu Mengting, I think this one is good." Master Void said, moving towards a cedar wood box that looked exquisite but was covered in dust.
With a wave of his hand, a gust of Palm Wind swept away the dust from the box. He then opened it and took out a book with a yellow cover.
Written on it was: South Nether Technique.
"This South Nether Technique is specifically for cultivation involving absorption, akin to the Star Absorption Technique and South Nether Divine Skill. However, the beauty of the South Nether Technique is in its minimal side effects, although its absorption ability isn’t as strong as the other two. For someone with Sponge Physique, I recommend it; it’s harmless to the body and has no side effects." Master Void explained.
"South Nether Technique?"
Upon hearing the name, Wu Mengting was immediately flustered. It felt like she was about to start practicing a Martial Arts Secret Manual, which seemed quite unbelievable.
Thinking back just a month ago, she was nervously studying in the classroom, and now she was about to study a Martial Arts Secret Manual. If she hadn’t experienced all this herself, she might have thought she was dreaming.
"Yes, the South Nether Technique is easy to grasp, with a simple Heart Method Mantra. It’s a very practical secret, straightforward to learn. This Heart Method rarely suits anyone and had been left untouched for decades. Today, someone destined has arrived, so consider it a gift."
Master Void was quite generous; these things can’t be taken into life or taken out of death. The Buddhist Family believes in maximizing the use of useful items, which is a good thing.
"Thank you, Master." Wu Mengting accepted the secret manual and bowed deeply.
She never expected that not only did Master Void not drive them away, but he actively helped them, making Wu Mengting feel grateful towards the Shaolin Temple.
In the upcoming time, with Wu Jian’s assistance, Wu Mengting began cultivating the South Nether Technique and upgrading.....
Back to the present, in the South Sea City.
Chen Tianlong had already gathered the Five Elements Yinzi and was ready for the departure the next day to register at the Celestial Pill Sect. In fact, Chen Tianlong’s goals were twofold: besides participating in the trial, he wanted to rescue Mo Jing. And if he could conveniently eliminate Chen Hai, that would be even better, because how dare he touch his sister; that was simply living recklessly.
Thus, around eight in the morning the next day, a group of beauties stood at the entrance of Chen Tianlong’s villa, waiting. Since there were so many people, one car wouldn’t suffice; two were necessary.
Mr. Huang heard that Lin Wushuang was headed to the Celestial Pill Sect, so he took the time to bring Lu Xiaoyu and Lin Wushuang to Chen Tianlong’s villa. The two cars departed simultaneously, but before exiting, Chen Tianlong brought the car to a stop.
Soon, a man approached from the front; he was Chen Tianlong’s third senior brother, Wu Guangzu. Chen Tianlong had acquired a Super Qi Gathering Pill from Tan Tian and gave it to him, finally allowing Wu Guangzu to breakthrough to Celestial Dao Star Rank 1, achieving the standard, and decided to join the trial, as it was his lifelong wish.
Thus, aside from Yang Xinru, who went ahead with her family, the other five members of the Five Elements Yinzi, together with Chen Tianlong’s two senior brothers, made up seven people who boarded the plane and headed towards the Celestial Pill Sect.
The Celestial Pill Sect was located in the Five Elements Mountain Range, where several major sects resided, among which the most famous were the Celestial Pill Sect and the Sword Dao Sect.
After getting off the plane, Chen Tianlong called for two taxis to go to a nearby hotel. With four days still left before the Celestial Pill Sect’s trial and sign-up closing the night before the trial, Chen Tianlong didn’t need to rush.
