Chapter 503: Chapter 509: How about we make a bet? (Fourth update)
“What is the Undying Clan?” Yang Zhen asked the ignoble cat, “Is there really any immortal being?”
The ignoble cat pursed his lips, looking at Yang Zhen out of the corners of his eyes, “What immortal being? If Old Man Qian is right, the Undying Clan was killed and their entire heritage was buried.”
Having said this, the ignoble cat became excited again, “Boy, although the Undying Clan aren’t truly immortal, their Cultivation Method is extremely suitable for you, more so than any other Cultivation Method!”
“What the hell?” Yang Zhen was taken aback, asking in surprise, “How do you know their Cultivation Method suits me better than any other?”
The ignoble cat gave a smug grin, “Your Dragon Elephant Prison Shaking Body hasn’t been upgraded for a long time, right? Even if you constantly weather tribulations and absorb the power of thunder, it won’t be enough to quickly upgrade your Dragon Elephant Prison Shaking Body.”
Yang looked at the ignoble cat in utter astonishment, “How did you know?”
Practicing Dragon Elephant Prison Shaking Body and other Cultivation Methods were different, as long as the realm and talent are there, the latter could be smoothly practiced until it was fully understood, even perfecting it.
Yang Zhen had this talent. As long as he read any Cultivation Method once, he could fully understand it. There was nothing he couldn’t comprehend unless the method contained too much Heaven and Earth Great Taoism.
However, such method usually occurs at the Imperial level which Yang Zhen has yet to encounter.
As for Dragon Elephant Prison Shaking Body, the speed of practicing didn’t depend on Yang Zhen’s ability to absorb True Essence.
It was just like exercising the body. Even if one used the most effective workout methods and starved all day, nothing substantial would come out.
The worst part was that Dragon Elephant Prison Shaking Body needed to “consume” the purest energy in the world, not just True Essence.
This point truly troubled Yang Zhen. He couldn’t go looking for tribulations every day, as the ignoble cat suggested.
Yang Zhen stared weirdly at the ignoble cat. Seeing it put on a proud look but chose to not continue talking, he immediately slapped it and swore, “Damn it, stop playing coy, just say it.”
The ignoble cat dodged Yang Zhen’s hand and, after a moment of silence, said, “The cultivation method of the Undying Clan is incredibly strange. Their traditional race Cultivation Method isn’t a common one that absorbs Heaven and Earth True Essence but a special method of body tempering!”
“What?” Yang Zhen became joyous, urgently asking, “Body tempering? Is this method powerful?”
The ignoble cat nodded, “The body tempering method of the Undying Clan is the only powerful method from the primordial period that allowed a Bodily Ascension to Saint by merely depending on body tempering. Is it amazing?”
“Amazing, absolutely amazing!” Yang Zhen was so startled that his jaw dropped. Rubbing his hands, he asked the ignoble cat, “You know it so clearly, could it be that you remember how to practice this method?”
At Yang Zhen’s words, everyone present was taken aback and looked at the ignoble cat doubtfully.
It knew a race’s traditional cultivation method, a very rare body tempering method at that?
If the ignoble cat really knew this body tempering method, its background is quite terrifying.
Under the watching eyes of all, the ignoble cat gave a weird laugh, proudly declaring, “Boy, you’ve asked the right person. I… have no idea!”
“Get lost!” Yang Zhen threw the ignoble cat into the Sealed Land, then spat at it.
Everyone mutually exchanged glances. Those who had wondered why the ignoble cat and Yang Zhen had discussed so seriously and for so long suddenly felt better.
Out of ten phrases that came out from the mouths of Yang Zhen and the ignoble cat, hearing one of them was already an extraordinary event.
Although everyone was speechless, they were stunned by what the ignoble cat said.
The Undying Clan’s race’s inheritance was a tempering method that could enable a Bodily Ascension to Saint. This… was horrifying.
The ignoble cat was flung far away by Yang Zhen and began to scream out of fear. It quickly scurried back, looking at the direction of the Sealed Land with a face full of doubt.
Two mountains stood intact, but when the ignoble cat was thrown inside by Yang Zhen, there was no reaction at all. It was evident that the Sealed Land was not only impossible to leave, but now it was also impossible to enter.
“Goddamn it, kid! Are you trying to kill me? If I die, you can forget about getting your hands on this Cultivation Method!”
Yang Zhen sneered and said to the cheeky cat, “How about we make a bet?”
“Ha ha, I, your honorable self, have never lost a bet. You say it, what do we bet on?” the cheeky cat boasted, looking at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen stared at the cheeky cat and said, “We bet that even if you shut up, I, Sao Saint, can still acquire this body refining method.”
“Deal!” the cheeky cat slapped its thigh and said with wide-open eyes, “And if you fail to get it?”
“If I don’t, you can pick any one from my storage rings!” Yang Zhen looked at the cheeky cat with a playful smile.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the cheeky cat almost drooled and quickly nodded, “This sounds great, wait a minute, what if you get it, what’d you want?”
“Don’t worry, I, Sao Saint, have enough storage rings, and I don’t fancy your stuff.”
With their face full of bewilderment, the cheeky cat mumbled to themselves, “Damn it, why do I feel like I’m being ensnared in some kind of scam?”
Yang Zhen blinked and said, “It’s not too late to back out now!”
“Tch!” The cheeky cat placed its hands on its hips and said, “I, your honorable self, don’t even know what regret is, speak, if you can acquire this body refining method, what would you want?”
“Tell me about the treasure you hid on Northern Island,” Yang Zhen said playfully.
Hearing this, the cheeky cat’s face changed to disbelief as it asked in a panicked voice, “Goddamn it! How do you know that?”
Of course, Yang Zhen wouldn’t tell the cheeky cat that he found out because it inadvertently let it slip. He looked at the cheeky cat with a playful smile and said, “I, Sao Saint, calculated it on my fingers. Is there anything in this world that I can’t calculate?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless. Although they were shocked and in disbelief, they all turned their gazes towards the cheeky cat.
No one could fathom that this cheeky son of a gun had actually hidden treasure on Northern Island.
Given the cheeky cat’s greedy nature, the treasure it hid must surely be filled with spectacular items.
“No bet, I don’t bet, at all!!! I hate betting the most!” the cheeky cat protested vehemently, shaking its head like a rattle-drum.
“Two storage rings?”
“No bet, boy! You should live an earnest life. A gentleman loves money, they should gain it in a proper way! Those are your own words!”
“Three storage rings, not a ring more. If you want more, even I, Sao Saint, wouldn’t want to gamble with you.”
“Deal!” The cheeky cat slapped its thigh and burst out laughing, “Let’s bet!”
Watching the two of them settle a gamble so arbitrarily left everyone dumbfounded. Even Old Man Qian wore a bitter smile and warned Yang Zhen, “Young master Yang, think thrice before you make a decision. Not mentioning that it’s hard to get out once you enter the Sealed Land, there is a powerful beast at the Divine Transformation Stage inside! We shouldn’t rashly explore the Sealed Land, either. Add to that the numerous risks in the Black Pool and its eerie atmosphere already caused many to perish… I suggest you let this go.”
Thousand-Spirit Saintess also came to Yang Zhen, her eyes dark and deep, she cautioned, “Yang Zhen, don’t be impulsive.”
Ji Yourong looked curiously at Yang Zhen. Given the relationship between her and Yang Zhen, she didn’t delve deeper, but one could tell she was curious about what Yang Zhen would do.
Lu Tianwei sneered, mumbling to himself, “Old Man Qian, a powerful Mahayana Phase peak expert, could not withstand the Black Doll’s attack, and he didn’t manage to enter the Black Pool either. If you, Yang Zhen, are deciding to enter the Black Pool, it’s simply suicide!”
Yang Zhen suddenly burst out laughing as he looked at everyone’s expressions.
“Kid, what’s with that look?” the cheeky cat suddenly had a bad premonition.
