Chapter 75 Seeds of Bitterness
Chapter 75 Seeds of Bitterness
Inside the martial arts hall of Qingcheng Mountain Academy, Feng Jinghu gently reached out and took a paper boat from thin air.
The paper boat drifted along his sea of suffering and landed in his hands.
It was sent by two deacons of the Ancient God Cult, saying that everything is ready and can begin at any time.
"The efficiency is not bad."
He nodded slightly, but then frowned and looked towards a certain spot in the city.
A powerful, pure Yang energy surged into the sky above Xiaoqing Kingdom, its might astonishing and undisguised.
"Which Foundation Establishment cultivator is so high-profile?"
He was filled with suspicion, wondering if he had let the news slip.
It shouldn't be. I didn't sense any targeting, but the other party's aggressive approach might affect our year-end plans.
He pondered for a moment, then restrained his own martial arts intent to avoid offending the other party.
Dongfang Dongyang's face was cold, and Wenren Yu behind him breathed very cautiously. Faced with his master's command, he still forced himself to speak in a low voice:
"Master, Chen Ren is, after all, a disciple of Shangqing Palace, and you are Zhang Yunqing, the chief disciple of Shangqing Palace. If we arrest him directly, it might be suspected of bullying the younger generation."
After saying this, he lowered his head, not daring to look into his master's eyes.
"Zhang Yunqing? Does that mean he can do whatever he wants just because he's in the Qing Palace!"
Dongfang Dongyang snorted coldly, and the entire hotel trembled, with the temperature rising by more than ten degrees.
"Since someone has been killed, let's follow the procedures and rules. There's no one in the Shangqing Palace Law Enforcement Hall, so let's send someone from our Tianshi Cave."
He was truly enraged. After cultivating for hundreds of years and reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he had never been this angry before.
"Master..."
Wenren Yu still gritted his teeth and spoke, knowing that repeatedly contradicting him would be extremely detrimental to him.
However, his studies and training did not allow him to act indiscriminately.
"Why don't you reconsider? After all, disciples of Shangqing Palace rarely injure anyone, let alone kill them. Why don't we go ask Chief Zhang?"
"She never favors anyone. She just gives us a genius like Su Rentong without hesitation. In addition, his Dao is special, so we can directly question our hearts and find out the truth before taking action."
Qingcheng Mountain Academy has always been a place where everyone prospers or suffers together, and he didn't want to see something like this happen.
In fact, he knew that after calming down, his master wouldn't do anything to Chen Ren; a Foundation Establishment cultivator still had the demeanor of one.
At most, the Enforcement Hall inside the gate will handle it.
Dongfang Dongyang had a cold face, but the rising temperature in the entire hotel gradually subsided.
This shows that he did listen.
"Then..." Dongfang Dongyang had only said two words when Zhang Yunmiao objected!
He knew perfectly well that these things couldn't stand scrutiny, and that what he had done was disgusting and outrageous. If Zhang Yunqing really came, he would probably be exposed.
"Grandmaster, Chen Ren injured my junior sister today. Countless people in the royal city witnessed it; that's an undeniable fact!"
His voice was anxious as he said, "Are we just going to give him that chance? What about my junior sister's justice? Master? Grandmaster? Are you just going to let this go?"
As he spoke, he almost began to believe it himself: "My junior sister only came down the mountain to resolve her Dao heart cultivation issues; who would have known she would encounter such a calamity..."
"Master, I...I'm not reconciled!"
Each word seemed to strike Wenren Yu's heart, but it also fueled Dongfang Dongyang's anger even more.
His cultivation path is the Purple Yang Great Dao, which is dominated by fire and is inherently not a very patient or tolerant nature.
"Then let's call him here and detain him first, and talk to him when Zhang Yunqing comes back."
This is acceptable, Zhang Yunmiao thought to himself. In the end, wouldn't he be able to easily manipulate that kid?
Once he's secretly killed, he'll say he was overcome with anger and couldn't control himself. Even if Zhang Yunqing comes back, it'll just be a matter of one life for another.
Su Rentong traded his life for Chen Ren's.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud; a major crisis had been averted.
"I know where they're staying; it's in a hotel managed by my Zhang family."
He volunteered, saying, "But that kid is very strong, so please come with me to capture him, Master."
Wenren Yu sighed, glanced at the time; it was already past four in the morning.
"Alright, lead the way."
The two headed towards the inn, but Chen Ren was nowhere to be found. They searched in vain and had to start looking again.
It turned out that Chen Ren had gotten up early, washed up, and headed out to the martial arts school.
He comprehends the artistic conception of Master Fengjinghu every day, and his cultivation speed is very fast. Each time he is enveloped by the Bitter Sea Technique, he gains new insights.
When they arrived at the martial arts school, the disciples had just gotten up.
"You're here early. It's been seven days, hasn't it?"
Feng Jinghu's gaze fell on Chen Ren's face, still showing some regret.
Seven days have passed and the Bitter Sea Seed has not yet been formed, which proves that Chen Ren's talent is not very good.
When he first cultivated the Bitter Sea Technique, it only took him one day to condense the seed. Now, seven days have passed, proving that the probability of this kid reaching the Innate Realm in the future is extremely low.
However, since he is Zhang Yunqing's disciple, he should still be taken care of, and it wouldn't hurt to stay a few more days.
"Teacher, I feel that today we should be able to gather the seeds of suffering."
Today was different. When that boundless sea of bitterness spread out again, he felt various unusual movements in his dantian.
The blood and qi seemed to collapse downwards, constantly flowing into the lower abdomen.
When the Qi and blood in the body flow, it beats like a pulse, wave after wave, constantly drilling into the Dantian.
This had never happened before, and he knew perfectly well that his opportunity had arrived and he was about to master the Bitter Sea Technique.
Once the first seed of suffering is condensed, he can refine his qi and blood into internal energy at any time and step into the acquired realm.
But Chen Rensheng managed to suppress this impulse.
The end of the year is approaching, there's no need to rush.
Moreover, he planned to cultivate all realms to their limits before breaking through them all at once, thus solidifying his foundation.
Gradually, something resembling a diamond appeared in Chen Ren's dantian; upon closer inspection, it also resembled a water droplet.
It is both soft and strong.
In the sea of suffering, Feng Jinghu knew everything, and he knew it the moment the seed condensed.
"good!"
"Having learned the Bitter Sea Technique in seven days, although his talent is mediocre, as long as he persists in his cultivation in the future, he may well be able to step into the Innate Realm if he has a great opportunity."
He had high expectations for Chen Ren; even considering the 90 million, a Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't praise him so highly.
So Chen Ren blushed and said modestly, "I am very grateful for your guidance, teacher. I will never forget it."
He was indeed very grateful. Where else could one find a celestial being to help and guide someone for a normal price of 9000 million?
Even with help from ordinary cultivators at the Acquired Realm, and with step-by-step instruction, it's unlikely they'll learn it by the end of the year, and they'll have to spend sword-drawing points to cut off their progress.
"Good, once you've learned it, head back to Shangqing Palace as soon as possible."
Feng Jinghu nodded slightly, offering a pointed remark:
"Things have been a bit turbulent lately, so be careful. It's best to buy a proper ticket when you go back."
