King of Creation
Chapter 108: Chapter 106 Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s Request (Second Update)
"Ye Zhen, have you encountered any confusion in your cultivation recently?"
Atop Fairy Peak, Sect Leader Guo Qijing appeared amiable as he met with Ye Zhen.
"No!" Ye Zhen shook his head.
"Oh, with Feibai guiding you, there shouldn’t be any confusion. By the way, how is your family? Is there any difficulty, any business around the sect that needs looking after?" Sect Leader Guo Qijing asked again with concern.
"Replying to the Sect Leader, my family is in Gold City County, far from here, and there is no trouble at home," Ye Zhen answered again.
Sect Leader Guo Qijing stroked his beard, "I see, Ye Zhen, how is your cultivation progressing? Are you lacking any pills? Would you like me to provide some for you?"
Ye Zhen was completely bewildered.
The attitude of Sect Leader Guo Qijing was too ambiguous, it was as if he had never shown such concern even for true disciples like Caiyi, right?
"Sect Leader, what exactly do you want me to do? Just say it!" Ye Zhen said boldly.
Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s old face suddenly became somewhat uncomfortable.
"Yes, Sect Leader, what have you taken a liking to in Ye Zhen? Back when you asked me for Ning Shen Liquid, you looked similar," Caiyi added, supporting Ye Zhen.
Cough, cough, cough, cough!
Sect Leader Guo Qijing coughed violently a few times before saying somewhat embarrassingly, "Ye Zhen, it’s like this. Our sect has always been in great need of True Essence Secret Skills that can be used within the True Essence Realm.
This leads to our disciples below the Spirit Summoning Realm being at a significant disadvantage when they encounter counterparts from the Lishui Sect.
You see, if there are no complications, could you write down the True Essence Secret Skill True Essence Sword Finger from the Lishui Sect for our sect, and then we can select some people to pass it on, to strengthen our sect’s power?"
After speaking, Sect Leader Guo Qijing looked eagerly at Ye Zhen, full of expectation.
There was no choice, the True Essence Sword Finger was too powerful.
The elite outer disciples of the Lishui Sect had all been slain by Ye Zhen, and not only because of Ye Zhen’s cultivation, but the power of the True Essence Sword Finger played a crucial role as well.
You must know, the Lishui Sect had designated the True Essence Sword Finger as a Sect Guardian Secret Technique.
Slap!
Without a word, Ye Zhen handed over the True Essence Sword Finger secret manual he had obtained from Guoo Shanfeng to Sect Leader Guo Qijing, without hesitation.
Not just the book, Ye Zhen also took out the Soft Water Palm secret manual that he had obtained at the same time.
"This Soft Water Palm, I’ll also contribute it to the sect."
"Soft Water Palm? Good! As long as the disciples of our sect study it a bit, when they encounter disciples of the Lishui Sect who use the Soft Water Palm, they can give them a sound beating," Sect Leader Guo Qijing said joyfully.
Joyously, he stored away the two secret manuals, "Ye Zhen, you are a good child, always considering the sect. I’ll remember this in my heart. In the future, if you have any difficulties, come directly to me. If it can be solved, I will surely solve it for you."
After speaking, Sect Leader Guo Qijing got up to leave.
"Thank you, Sect Leader. I just so happen to have a difficult matter now that I want to ask you to resolve," Ye Zhen said, his eyes shifting.
"What’s the difficult matter?"
"It’s like this: These past few days, I saw Caiyi practicing the Wind Cloud Sword Technique, with sword Qi soaring far and wide. I too am very eager and would like to learn this Wind Cloud Sword Technique, Sect Leader, you see..." Ye Zhen said.
"This... the Wind Cloud Sword Technique, it is our Qiyun Sect’s Sect Guardian Sword Skill, to learn it, at the very least one has to be a true disciple..."
Sect Leader Guo Qijing hadn’t finished speaking, when Ye Zhen’s gaze lingered on the True Essence Sword Finger and Soft Water Palm secret manuals still held in the Sect Leader’s hands.
The message was simple, Sect Leader, you haven’t even warmed up these two secret manuals? I, Ye Zhen, have already without hesitation offered them to the sect, you see for yourself.
Ye Zhen’s gaze suddenly made Guo Qijing’s old face turn a shade of red, "Eh... well, it’s not impossible. Well, I can’t give you the qualification to enter the fifth level of the Scripture Storage Tower.
However, I can authorize Caiyi to teach you the Wind Cloud Sword Technique, I will explain this matter to the elders."
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
A flicker of delight passed across Ye Zhen’s lips. He had not expected to obtain the coveted Wind Cloud Sword Technique so quickly. Of course, this was largely thanks to the secret techniques from the Lishui Sect.
I wonder what the high-ups of the Lishui Sect will look like when they find out about this. Ye Zhen really wanted to laugh; when the Lishui Sect was distressed, he was happy!
"Ye Zhen, why are you deceiving the Sect Leader? I have never practiced the Wind Cloud Sword Technique in front of you?"
Caiyi’s question abruptly froze Ye Zhen’s cheerful expression, and he didn’t know how to respond for a moment. Such an innocent person, Ye Zhen was reluctant to deceive.
"Don’t worry, I won’t expose you. You definitely wouldn’t do anything bad," Caiyi said.
Ye Zhen, somewhat caught between laughter and tears, found Caiyi to be truly naive.
"Caiyi, it’s alright now, can you start teaching me the Wind Cloud Sword Technique?"
"Sure!"
Atop Fairy Peak, amidst blossoms and moonlight, with sword Qi sweeping through, Caiyi accompanied him.
No one deliberately did anything or thought about anything.
They practiced swordplay together, took care of Little Flower Weasel together, cultivating the Spirit-Control Technique together, watched the sunrise and sunset together, and roamed the mountains and fields together searching for food for the Little Flower Weasels....
With Caiyi’s careful guidance, Ye Zhen not only learned the Wind Cloud Sword Technique in a very short time, but his combat power also increased drastically.
Simply put, Caiyi was at the Spirit Transformation Realm, her insights were something Ye Zhen could not compare.
In the process of feeding moves to Ye Zhen, the flaws in Ye Zhen’s moves, in Caiyi’s eyes, were simply everywhere. Although those flaws, in the eyes of those at the True Essence Realm or even the Spirit Summoning Realm, weren’t considered flaws at all.
Caiyi was extremely attentive to Ye Zhen, pointing out every flaw meticulously. A simple sword move often required Ye Zhen to correct dozens of small errors before he barely passed the test.
And that wasn’t all, Ye Zhen also had to use the same sword move to spar with Caiyi, and only if he could execute an entire set of sword techniques without being defeated, would he pass the test.
The insight of someone at the Spirit Transformation Realm was extremely profound; even though Caiyi voluntarily sealed her cultivation, Ye Zhen still couldn’t last more than a few moves under her same sword momentum.
However, as days passed, the time Ye Zhen could last undefeated against Caiyi grew longer and longer.
Thus, a sword move genius gradually emerged.
This blissful period, however, did not last too long.
More than twenty days later, Liao Feibai sent a Talisman Communication, informing that a suitable task had appeared at the sect’s mission hall, and Ye Zhen should quickly accept and leave Fairy Peak, though he felt somewhat regretful.
If such days continued for another ten days or so, if he encountered Cao Luo from the Spirit Summoning Realm again, he could easily defeat Cao Luo using the same sword moves, even without gathering momentum beforehand.
"Hold on a second, I’ll get you something." Knowing that Ye Zhen was about to leave, Caiyi suddenly showed a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Before long, Caiyi hurried over and handed Ye Zhen a jade bottle.
"Keep this bottle of Primordial Spirit Jade Liquid safe. If ever your True Yuan is insufficient, take just one drop, and your True Yuan will recover instantly," she advised.
"Don’t worry, I will be back soon," Ye Zhen accepted it casually.
"Be careful."
The moment he stepped out of Fairy Peak, Ye Zhen suddenly turned his head and smiled at Caiyi, seriously asking, \"By the way, Caiyi, can I still come to Fairy Peak to see you when I return?"
Caiyi’s face instantly flushed red, as these past days Liao Feibai often visited, and under his teasing influence, she had come to understand a few things.
"What do you think?"
Leaving Ye Zhen with an expression that wanted to speak yet was too shy, Caiyi turned and went back.
At the Donglai Peak Training Institute, Liao Feibai carefully instructed Ye Zhen.
"After you complete the sect mission, make a detour to Pingjiang Town. By then, I will secretly send Little Yue to Pingjiang Town without alerting anyone."
"Also, be especially careful when you go to Yin Mountain Canyon. Once done, return quickly." After speaking, Liao Feibai handed Ye Zhen a jade talisman.
"I will support you from a distance, and if you encounter any insurmountable trouble, send a talisman communication right away, and I will be there within 15 minutes."
"Okay!" Ye Zhen nodded.
After giving all these instructions, Liao Feibai’s expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Ye Zhen grinning, "Honestly, when you were leaving, did that girl Caiyi give you anything good?"
"Nothing much, just a bottle of Primordial Spirit Jade Liquid for restoring True Yuan."
"What?"
The response startled Liao Feibai.
"She actually gave you Primordial Spirit Jade Liquid? And a whole bottle?"
"Good for Caiyi, whenever I begged her relentlessly, she wouldn’t even give me half a drop, yet she gives you a whole bottle in one go. Does she still consider me a good sister? I’m going to confront her right now."
While speaking, Liao Feibai stormed out of the Training Institute, intending to confront Caiyi.
Ye Zhen, however, was completely dumbfounded.
So the Primordial Spirit Jade Liquid Caiyi gave him was that precious, far more than the Ning Shen Liquid. Liao Feibai could easily take several bowls of Ning Shen Liquid every few days, but Caiyi wouldn’t give him even a drop of the Primordial Spirit Jade Liquid.
With this thought, a warmth surged in Ye Zhen’s heart.
Before long, Liao Feibai, who had stormed out of the Training Institute, returned and handed Ye Zhen three white, chilling sword talismans.
"Kid, these are three Profound Ice Sword Qi Talismans that I sealed with my own cultivation. Take them for your protection. Each one contains two parts of my cultivation’s Profound Ice Sword Qi!" After speaking, Liao Feibai’s figure soared into the sky, heading straight for the Fairy Peak.
"How powerful would the Profound Ice Sword Qi Talisman, containing two parts of Instructor Liao’s cultivation, be?"
In his murmur, Ye Zhen carefully stored the three chillingly sharp sword qi talismans, which seemed could sting one’s eyes with just a glance, in his storage bracelet.
An hour later, Ye Zhen picked up an Earth Grade sect mission at the Sect Main Hall and, mounting his newly bought Silver-horned Horse, headed straight for the mission’s designated location.
Almost as soon as Ye Zhen left the sect on horseback, news was reported back to Spirit Sword Peak.
Upon hearing the news, Fan Chuyu, who was immersed in intense cultivation, suddenly stood up, "Hmph, Ye Zhen, I thought you would never leave Fairy Peak.
This time, not only have you left Fairy Peak, but you’ve also left the Sect! Hehe."
With a few sinister chuckles, Fan Chuyu’s body flashed like a beam of light as he rushed towards the Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang’s Dingguang Peak. (To be continued.
