Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Superior Innate Defensive Treasure (Extra before Sleep)
“Mo is about to enter the Nascent Soul Realm.”
“By that count, won’t we at Qingyun Peak have the fourth Mount Shu Elder?” Second Senior Sister is so amazing.”
Lm Qingzhi, Lu Qinglian, and Shen Xiaoyao all looked towards the surging clouds above Qingyun Peak in unison, where the clouds had unexpectedly condensed into ancient seal characters.
“Zhao guest winding his Hu cord, Wu hook shining with frost and snow. Silver saddle illuminates the white horse, rushing forth like a shooting star.”
“Ten steps to kill a man, a thousand li without leaving a trace. Once the deed is done, he sweeps his clothes and hides his body and name.”
This was the first Tang poem that Lu Changsheng taught Mo Huazhi.
Mo Huazhi used this poem as the opportunity for her breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Realm.
Then, a holy sound filled the air, heaven and earth resonated as if a saint had descended to the world.
“The breakthrough method of the Body of the Literary Sage is indeed peculiar.” The disciples Lu Changsheng had taken on were so varied and strange that he was no longer surprised by anything.
“Success.”
Mo Huazhi opened her eyes, her gaze bright and clear with a surge of Magnificent Righteous Qi sweeping all directions, and her aura reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
Now, she could try her hand at Establishing Words.
Once successful, her cultivation could soar to the Dao Palace Realm.
The Body of the Literary Sage, possessed unique traits.
[Ding, your third disciple “Mo Huazhi,” has advanced from the Golden Core Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm, and you have received a disciple realm advancement reward: a high-grade Innate Treasure “Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor.”]
As soon as Mo Huazhi made her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, Lu Changsheng received the disciple realm advancement reward.
This time, the reward was a high-grade Innate defensive treasure!
Lu Changsheng was momentarily stunned.
A suit of soft armor appeared in his Dao Palace Realm.
It seemed like an ordinary soft armor, but it was woven from heavenly silkworm silk, classified as a type of passive defensive treasure.
[Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor: A defensive treasure forged from heavenly silkworm silk in the Immortal Realm, light as if weightless.]
“This is a good item.”
The ever-cautious Lu Changsheng had always been accumulating life-saving measures. °
Elixir Pills, Talismans, magical artifacts; he could procure more if he ran out, but one has only one life.
The Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor could serve as an undergarment worn beneath the Innate Spiritual Treasure Kirin Cloud Pattern Dao Robe of medium grade.
On the outside, the medium-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Kirin Cloud Pattern Dao Robe, and inside, the high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor. Additionally, Lu Changsheng had practiced the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique, tripling his defense.
It wasn’t that Lu Changsheng was overconfident, but cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm, unless they used Immortal Artifacts or Rank-8 Talismans, would find it difficult to break through his defenses.
With offensive methods including the True Martial Nine Forms and the Tiangang Sword Formation, and defensive measures with two Innate defensive treasures, Lu Changsheng even felt confident against early-stage Void Refinement Realm adversaries.
Master, your disciple has finally achieved a breakthrough.”
Mo Huazhi emerged from her cave dwelling, and unknowingly, four days had passed.
“Now that your cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul Realm and your Talent Cultivation Skills have reached Great Perfection, your master has prepared new cultivation techniques and magical artifacts for you.” With a wave of his large sleeve, new magical artifacts and techniques appeared in front of Mo Huazhi; they were the Earth Rank superior cultivation technique ”Spring and Autumn Qj,” the Profound Rank superior cultivation technique Intermediate Talisman Skills,” the medium-grade Acquired Treasure ‘’Heavenly Fox Divine Brush,” and the medium-grade Acquired Treasure “Flowing Light Moon Radiance Skirt.”
“Master is being too good to Zhi’er…”
Mo Huazhi looked in surprise at the pile of treasures her master had given her.
She had only just made her breakthrough when her master had already prepared a ‘newbie package’ for use in the Nascent Soul Realm.
It seemed her master had long been anticipating her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Mo Huazhi was even more deeply moved.
“Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple ‘Mo Huazhi’ a high-grade Profound Rank Cultivation Technique ‘Intermediate Talisman Skills,’ and received a one-hundredfold return reward: a high-grade Earth Rank Cultivation Technique ‘Advanced Talisman Refining Technique.”‘ “Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple ‘Mo Huazhi’ a high-grade Earth Rank Cultivation Technique ‘Spring and Autumn Qi,’ and received a onethousandfold return reward: a supreme Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique ‘Benevolence and Righteousness Holy Qi.’
“Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple ‘Mo Huazhi’ a medium-grade Acquired Heavenly Treasure ‘Heavenly Fox Divine Brush,’ and received a fivehundredfold return reward: a medium-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure ‘Nine- Tailed Spirit Fox Brush.’
“Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple ‘Mo Huazhi’ a medium-grade Acquired Heavenly Treasure ‘Flowing Light Moon Radiance Skirt,’ and received a one-thousandfold return reward: a supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure ‘Mysterious Lady Immortal Skirt.’
Lu Changsheng exhausted the four disciple return opportunities for the day in one go. The returned treasures were not bad, but unfortunately, there were no treasures suitable for Lu Changsheng’s use.
Not to mention the first three, the returned supreme-grade Innate defensive spiritual treasure ‘Mysterious Lady Immortal Skirt’ was clearly intended for female disciples, and Lu Changsheng certainly did not have a penchant for cross-dressing.
“Zhi’er, in three years, you and your junior brother will need to participate in Mount Shu’s Disciple Convention, and afterward, leave the mountain for a trial.”
“As your master, I have calculated that during your trial away from the mountain in three years, you will encounter tribulations.”
“In the next three years, you must cultivate diligently, trying your best to overcome the tribulations with your own strength.”
Lu Changsheng’s third disciple, Mo Huazhi, was accepted as a disciple five years ago, while his fourth disciple, Shen Xiaoyao, was admitted this year.
Just like the ceremony for accepting disciples, Mount Shu’s Disciple Convention also takes place once every ten years, and only disciples who joined Mount Shu within the past ten years are eligible to participate.
Mo Huazhi and Shen Xiaoyao, both being new disciples within the last ten years, are therefore qualified to join the Disciple Convention.
However, having joined Mount Shu for less than ten years, Mo Huazhi has already reached the Nascent Soul Realm, and participating in Mount Shu’s Disciple Convention with the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm is like child’s play.
The last Mount Shu Disciple Convention’s first-place disciple was Xiao Xiangdao of the Golden Core Realm.
And this time in Mount Shu’s Disciple Convention, Mo Huazhi will participate with the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm…
As long as she does not register as an eider of Mount Shu, Mo Huazhi is still considered a disciple of Mount Shu.
“Yes, this disciple will cultivate diligently.”
Mo Huazhi’s gaze was resolute.
She had heard her eldest senior brother and second senior sister say that master could predict the future. Since master had foreseen that she would face calamities in three years, it would definitely happen. At that time, she should try her best to overcome the tribulations with her own cultivation level, so as not to cause trouble for master.
Mo Huazhi returned to her bamboo hut and continued her cultivation practice, consolidating her state in the Nascent Soul Realm.
“Ding, you have begun to simulate the life of your disciple ‘Mo Huazhi.’
“Number of simulations for today: -1.”
Lu Changsheng ran another simulation of Mo Huazhi’s life to make sure nothing would go wrong with this disciple.
The fate of Mo Huazhi was the exact opposite of Shen Xiaoyao’s; one was plagued by misfortune, the other was a Son of Fortune.
Hence, Lu Changsheng was more concerned about the future of his third disciple, who possessed the Body of the Literary Sage.
“Simulation begins:
At 25, during her trials, Mo Huazhi encountered her family’s killer and avenged their deaths with her own cultivation. However, she is caught alive by the young sect leader of the Joyous Union Sect.”
At 26, you descend from the mountain to rescue Mo Huazhi, but fall into a trap set by the Joyous Union Sect. Mo Huazhi is killed, and as you have not yet advanced to the Void Refinement Realm, you are outnumbered and captured alive by the Joyous Union Sect.”
“Mo Huazhi, deceased.”
“Simulation completed.”
“How strange, why has my third disciple’s fate changed again?”
Lu Changsheng furrowed his brows as he saw the simulation results.
Could it be due to the trip to the Immortal Ruins, and the fact that he inflicted injuries on the Holy Maiden of the Joyous Union Sect, which led them to set a trap specifically to retaliate against him?
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.
However, from the simulation process, there were not a few solutions.
“First, intervene directly when Mo Huazhi encounters the young sect leader of the Joyous Union Sect.”
Second, break through to the Void Refinement Realm before Mo Huazhi descends from the mountain. By then, catch the Joyous Union Sect offguard.”
To be safe, both methods should be utilized concurrently.”
