Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 65: Love Donation

Spirit Array Masters were quite sought after in the Cultivation World.

Especially during large-scale battles, their presence was indispensable. If utilized properly, they could dismantle the opposing forces' protective arrays without much cost.

At times, an Array Master could play a role even greater than that of a Golden Core Master.

When Jiang Ning had achieved the Nascent Soul Realm and was stabilizing that stage, he had sought knowledge in arrays from the sect's Array Master and had greatly benefited.

The Spirit Array had been successfully engraved onto the Jade Plate, the next step was to execute the Small Divinity Separation Technique.

Jiang Ning gathered all his Divine Sense at once. The formless Divine Sense coalesced into a mass, and he propelled it fiercely towards the Jade Pendant.

He also activated the array in the Jade Pendant. As the Divine Sense collided with the array in the pendant, it felt like it had smashed into a vortex. Suddenly, it stilled, pausing for several seconds before swiftly retreating.

Jiang Ning felt a wave of dizziness at his brow and looked towards the Jade Pendant, noting a small red cloud icon at the bottom right corner.

Seeing the cloud, Jiang Ning felt a wave of familiarity; it was the emblem of the Luoyun Sect.

The sect had accepted Jiang Ning, provided him with the most powerful cultivation techniques, and the best resources for cultivation. When he was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, the sect's Nascent Soul Supreme Elder had bestowed a Nascent Soul Talisman upon him.

The Golden Core Elders of the sect had also gone out in batches to personally search for Spiritual Objects for him.

Indeed, those with Heavenly Spirit Roots were treated preferentially, but not every cultivator with such roots could become a Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone achieve Nascent Soul Perfection.

Without the cultivation and nurturing of the sect, Jiang Ning might never have reached this stage.

Jiang Ning had never forgotten the grace of his sect.

The Protective Jade Pendant was light blue, engraved with various traceries on its surface. The most eye-catching feature was a red cloud at the bottom right corner, serving as a finishing touch.

Inside this cloud was a Divine Sense Point, which served to sense danger and activate the Spirit Array.

The Cultivation World had a comprehensive set of emergency avoidance regulations. Just now, Jiang Ning had implanted those regulations into the cloud icon using the small distraction method. Whenever the icon sensed similar dangers, it would automatically activate the Spirit Array to protect the wearer.

Jiang Ning stroked the Jade Pendant, feeling its warm touch.

He cast a flame that encircled him, raising the room temperature. When he touched the Jade Pendant again, he felt a hint of coolness.

He had engraved a temperature controlling array in the Spirit Array. This Jade Pendant only needed a small amount of Spiritual Power to change its own temperature, providing both warmth in winter and coolness in summer, making it very comfortable to wear.

Jiang Ning injected a bit of Spiritual Power into the Jade Pendant, strung it on a cord, and hung it on the door frame.

The Jade Pendant hovered in the air, gently swaying.

Jiang Ning picked up a fruit knife from the table and flung it towards the Jade Pendant. The knife traveled fast enough to easily pierce human flesh.

However, just as it was about to hit the Jade Pendant, the pendant trembled lightly and the Spirit Array activated. The fruit knife seemed to hit an air wall and bounced back.

Jiang Ning, with a swift motion of his Spiritual Power, caught the fruit knife and placed it by the bedside. It was Xue Yuantong's knife, used for peeling apples; he had forgotten it here.

He beckoned lightly, and the Jade Pendant flew into his palm.

"The effect is quite good. Now all I need is to fill the array with enough Spiritual Power, and I can avoid any dangers in daily life."

The Spirit Array in the Jade Pendant, though appearing mini, could accommodate a considerable amount of Spiritual Power. With Jiang Ning's current reserves of Spiritual Power, it would take filling it three times to reach its capacity.

He looked at the other three Jade Plates and began constructing Spirit Arrays to create more Protective Jade Pendants.

It was just before sunset when he finished creating all the Jade Pendants.

There were four Jade Pendants in total, laid out in sequence.

Regarding the allocation of the Protective Jade Pendants, Jiang Ning had roughly decided:

"One for each parent and one for Xue Yuantong."

"One left, but who should I give it to?"

As Jiang Ning was pondering, he heard footsteps approaching from the door. Xue Yuantong had arrived.

"Jiang Ning, it's time to eat. Hurry up!"

"Okay."

...

Fifteen minutes before the evening study session started, Jiang Ning entered the classroom.

The class was almost full. As Jiang Ning walked to his seat, Geng Lu waved a tissue:

"Jiang Ning, I wiped your desk and chair. Tell me, how will you thank me?"

"Buy you a milk tea," Jiang Ning said, cleaning the seats for him was just a matter of sweeping his spiritual power.

Hearing that Jiang Ning really wanted to buy her something, Geng Lu felt a bit embarrassed:

"No need, I just wiped it down for you as I passed by."

Ma Shicheng looked at Geng Lu sideways, feeling both amused and melancholic. Amused because Geng Lu had wiped Jiang Ning's seat before her own.

What did that mean?

With Ma Shicheng's wit, of course, he could see that Geng Lu had a crush on Jiang Ning.

Although he had never been in a relationship, he considered himself more understanding of emotions than anyone else, possessing strong logical abilities to deduce the relationship between two people.

His melancholy was because Geng Lu was quite pretty, and she was interested in Jiang Ning, while he was still there making wild guesses, feeling like a dog.

Ma Shicheng originally planned to ask about the situation, but suddenly felt his enthusiasm wane, oh well, it was none of his business anyway.

Ma Shicheng glanced around the classroom, feeling disappointed in both Geng Lu and Yang Sheng, such average girls, and decided to form a good relationship with Shen Qing'e and Bai Yuxia.

"Should I add them to the class group?"

"Should I add one or both?"

"What if both of them agree, who should I talk to?"

Ma Shicheng thought about many things, a smile forming on his lips, as if imagining a bright future.

Taking advantage of the fact that classes hadn't started yet, he ran over to Guo Kunnan and clapped him on the shoulder:

"Brother Nan, which girls from our class have you added in?"

Guo Kunnan was deep into gaming, intensely focused, and jolted by Ma Shicheng's sudden pat, his hand shook, and the game character fell into a pit and died.

"Damn, I almost broke the record!" Guo Kunnan's heart bled.

"What game are you playing?" Ma Shicheng asked him, looking quite fun.

"It's Tiantian Kupao, just released. It's really fun, and you can also see QQ friend rankings. I'm third among my friends. If it wasn't for your interruption, I would have jumped to second."

Guo Kunnan turned into a gaming enthusiast. In previous games, adding friends required searching one by one, but 'Tiantian Kupao' was directly logged in through QQ, viewing friend rankings was super convenient.

Hearing Guo Kunnan praise the game, Ma Shicheng also became interested, immediately forgetting about female classmates.

"Send me the game."

"Sure, open 'Kuaiya,' and I'll send it directly to you."

Kuaiya, a transfer software, used hotspot wifi transmission in an era dominantly using Bluetooth, ensuring a particularly fast speed.

Dan Kaiquan, who was nearby, also clamored to have it sent over.

The three of them got addicted to competing in 'Tiantian Kupao.'

During the first period of evening self-study, which was a session for self-study, they played the entire period. Ma Shicheng loved gaming and had some talent, quickly rising to first place on his leaderboard.

After class, he went to tease Guo Kunnan, "Which place am I in on your list?"

Guo Kunnan felt like losing face, after all, he was the one who pulled Ma Shicheng into this game, and he was the 'senior.' He watched, wide-eyed, as Ma Shicheng surpassed him.

"You're third on my list," he said sulkily.

"Who are first and second?"

"Yang Sheng, and another is a junior high school classmate."

Ma Shicheng couldn't believe it: "Yang Sheng plays games too?"

"Not only Yang Sheng, but Geng Lu plays too. She just sent me a heart."

Tiantian Kupao gets exhausting after a few rounds, and needs hearts from others to start again. If no one gives them, you have to either pay for them or wait for the hearts to replenish over time.

So, hearts in the game are crucial, and Ma Shicheng, a freeloader, of course, wouldn't pay, but he still wanted to keep playing.

As a surfing expert online, such a triviality as hearts didn't pose a problem for Ma Shicheng. He opened QQ and searched for 'Tiantian Kupao' heart-sharing groups.

Halfway through, a thought suddenly crossed his mind:

"Why should I join a group?"

"Isn't this the perfect opportunity to add the girls from class on QQ?"
