The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 56 - Too Many Good Things Worries

Elder Chaoyan pondered for a moment, then offered well-meaning advice, “Next time you encounter a similar situation, do not sell it.”

“Oh, alright.”

Xie Jiuniang agreed reluctantly.

Next time, she would sell it if the same situation arose.

The main reason was that the other party offered too much…

Elder Chaoyan admonished her a few more times, telling her to cultivate diligently to strive for an early Foundation Establishment. When he left, he threw a Storage Bag to her.

Xie Jiuniang watched him leave, wondering what his visit meant today, but she still sensed his good intentions.

But her own bizarre experiences made her hesitant to easily trust a stranger.

Upon checking the contents of the Storage Bag…

Well, I’ll be!

There were ten bottles of Spiritual Liquid, suitable for the Qi Cultivation Stage.

The Spiritual Liquid she obtained from Song Baobao had nearly been used up.

These ten bottles of Spiritual Liquid came just in time.

With these openly obtained Spiritual Liquids, her increase in cultivation now had an excuse.

But what were Elder Chaoyan’s intentions with this gesture?

Xie Jiuniang, unable to figure it out, decided not to dwell on it for the time being and turned to enter her cave abode.

Immediately, she took out the broken lampstand.

She looked it over from left to right, tapped on the Broken Sword, and asked, “Little Jianjian, do you think this is really the Buddha’s Green Lamp?”

“No. It’s only its lampstand, and even that is damaged.” Jian Lingyan originally had no memories, but as soon as it saw the lampstand, memories about it emerged, “The Buddha’s Green Lamp is formidable because of its wick. The wick is the essence, while the lampstand is secondary. Now that the lamp spirit has perished…”

Jian Lingyan suddenly felt a sorrow akin to “the sorrow of the rabbit’s death is the fox’s grief.”

Spiritual bodies, as long as the main body remains intact, can be said to live eternally.

But that does not mean they cannot die.

While humans may reincarnate after death, the extinction of a spirit is utter annihilation.

Perhaps in the future, extinction will also be its ultimate destiny…

Following that, Jian Lingyan fell silent.

Xie Jiuniang focused on studying the lampstand, unable to decipher it. Remembering her father had received spiritual cultivation inheritance, she decided to ask him about it the next time they met.

Since her father had an inheritance, he should know how to use it.

Xie Jiuniang placed the lampstand on the table where she usually made talismans. Seeing that the day was about to turn dark, she poured a bit of lamp oil, which she usually threw in the corner, and even found an old wick.

The Azure Lantern was lit.

Upon close inspection, it looked completely ordinary.

Xie Jiuniang then took out the newly acquired Water-Repelling Pearl.

The finest Water-Repelling Pearls were the size of a baby’s fist.

It looked like solidified water, clear and transparent. Upon taking out the Water-Repelling Pearl, the whole cave abode was suffused with a white, soft light, dreamlike and surreal.

Xie Jiuniang’s previous life had come across a common Water-Repelling Pearl, not as large nor as pretty as this one. Wearing the Water-Repelling Pearl and entering water, the water would automatically part, allowing one to walk effortlessly on the seabed, clothes dry and untouched by water.

The higher the grade of the Water-Repelling Pearl, the larger the space of the water curtain it could extend, providing a larger area for a person to be sheltered within.

A common Water-Repelling Pearl could create a space of half a zhang, while a mid-grade one around ten or more zhang. As for how wide a superior grade could extend, she didn’t know for the time being.

Xie Jiuniang really wanted to test it out now.

After some thought, however, she refrained.

It was too eye-catching at the moment; she would wait until there was no one around to try it.

Today, within the Sect, she encountered a robbery, which served as a wake-up call for Xie Jiuniang. Even though she was penniless now, in the eyes of others, she was carrying a fortune.

She would have to be more cautious in the future.

Xie Jiuniang took out the tools for drawing talismans and began to draw a Hiding Talisman.

Deplete spiritual power completely, then cultivate again.

After cultivating just once, Xie Jiuniang noticed the difference. Entering meditation was quick, the cultivation technique operated more smoothly than usual.

Until the spiritual power in the Dantian was full, nearly half as fast as before.

And there was a big surprise…

Xie Jiuniang’s gaze fell on the tiny dancing flame atop the Azure Lantern. The difference from before was the addition of one more Azure Lantern.

Once the spiritual power was depleted again, Xie Jiuniang snuffed the Azure Lantern and continued to cultivate, discovering the speed had returned to normal.

Xie Jiuniang lit the lantern again and repeated the experiment a few times. As long as the Azure Lantern was lit, it indeed boosted the cultivation speed.

It cut the cultivation time in half for a cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Cultivation Stage.

This matter absolutely could not be spread. If people found out, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation, and the strong would be tempted.

“Little Jianjian, this Azure Lantern…” Xie Jiuniang was a bit worried.

Too many good items, what a worry!

Jian Lingyan didn’t want to deal with its dog owner but couldn’t help dousing her enthusiasm, “The lantern is severely damaged, and this is all that’s left of its usefulness. It’s evident during the Qi Cultivation Stage. It will have a little use after Foundation Establishment, but none at the Golden Core. Your worries are needless.”

Xie Jiuniang disagreed, murmuring, “Doesn’t every family have a few members with ordinary talents?”

Thus, she thought about changing the appearance of the lantern base and dug out the materials and tools used for forgery before, patching up a small broken corner of the lantern. It wasn’t a true restoration, just a cosmetic fix.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to properly repair the lantern, but she lacked the ability to do so.

After a series of operations, the lantern base looked new on the outside. Placed on the desk, it wouldn’t make anyone think of Buddha’s Green Lamp.

It was just at this moment that the Formation outside was triggered.

Xie Jiuniang suspiciously glanced towards the cave’s entrance.

Who would be looking for her late at night?

She packed up the forging tools on the table, but the Azure Lantern remained out.

Xie Jiuniang activated the Jade Token for entry and exit and stepped out from the cave, only to see a slender figure standing under the moonlight.

It was Xie Ying, who had not shown herself for a long time.

Xie Ying was dressed in the Sect’s Direct Disciple Robe.

The moon-white robe appeared even colder under the moon’s glow.

Xie Jiuniang was momentarily taken aback.

It was as if she suddenly saw Xie Ying a hundred years later, but a closer look revealed it was not the same. The current Xie Ying appeared much more immature, far from the cold, aloof, and sharpness fully revealed once grown.

Xie Jiuniang’s expression cooled down.

Xie Ying was the first to speak, “Jiuniang, I heard from eldest brother last time that you might have misunderstood me. Tonight, I found an opportunity to leave Purple Sun Peak and came to talk to you specifically. May I come in?”

Xie Jiuniang did not want to let Xie Ying in.

But she looked around.

She felt something was watching.

It wasn’t necessarily a person; it might be a Contracted Beast.

There was no need for outsiders to see a spectacle made by one’s own family. Therefore, Xie Jiuniang opened the protective Barrier and gestured for Xie Ying to enter the cave.
