Divine Brilliance

Zong Shou smiled as he picked up Little Gold. He felt that this little fellow had already shrunk by a lot, but it was still in pain.

Gently rubbing it to console it, Zong Shou obtained some spirit liquid, mixing it with spiritual ink to draw a few calming and energy absorbing runes on its body. As expected, the little thing quieted down quickly and laid there.

Zong Shou also closed his eyes and sent his consciousness into its body. He could see that golden element Spirit Vein Pearl laying near its beast crystal.

A pattern of spiritual energy veins were being built between the two.

This little thing was born with the innate ability to change into all things, its body didn’t have a fixed shape. The spiritual energy veins in its body was the same. It could control all types of talisman weapons, Spiritual Artifacts, treasure artifacts, and even all sorts of precious items. As long as it drew out a specific spiritual vein, it would be able to completely lead out the power of these spiritual items.

Although Zong Shou was unable to use this Grade Two metal element Spirit Vein Pearl as an external pill, Little Gold could use it, using an external pill method to reach Grade Four.

This little thing could also use the spiritual vein method to inject all sorts of spiritual power over to its master.

Just like the Green Wind Spirit Bead from before. In the Black Soil Swamp, Zong Shou’s ability was definitely not enough to activate the item. However with Little Gold as a middle layer, he could use it freely.

In other words, this little thing could be considered his external pill. Although its strength was much weaker than a true external pill, it could still let him take a portion of a Xiantian Master’s ability.

A moment later Zong Shou’s brows frowned once more. The spiritual energy vein that was building up within Little Gold’s body was too simple.

Thinking about it, Zong Shou interfered without hesitation. The future god beast Wanxiang had intellect better than human, but at the current moment it was a dumb octopus. Even if it was mutated, it wasn’t that much more intelligent.

“Little thing, the spiritual energy vein isn’t built like that.”

He used soul power to draw in Little Gold’s body. It was really well-behaved as it followed Zong Shou’s soul power distribution to form channels and connect with that metal element Spirit Vein Pearl.

All the channels seemed to have no logic or planning, but if one looked from a distance, one would see that all the veins formed a complicated but precise talisman.

Once all the channels were built up, the spiritual energy that depend out of Little Gold’s body started to dissipate.

“It’s still lacking a little before it can borrow the strength of the external pill to chase Grade Four. It would at least need twenty days, just in time…”

Zong Shou calculated the date and it was coincidentally the day before he returned to Gantian Mountain. He couldn’t help, but smile slightly as he relaxed.

Although Little Gold was lacking the last step, it could already use a portion of the ability of the metal element Spirit Vein Pearl.

Zong Shou caressed the little fellow while pulling his sword out, hearing a sharp sound as sword energy stabbed tens of feet away.

He could see flames and a cold mist wrapping up with one another in a spiral structure. There were also some threads of purple lightning around it.

The sword energy flashed and instantly disappeared without a trash. Zong Shou’s brows rose as he showed a satisfied smile.

“Sword energy has reached thirty feet away, this standard is comparable to Xiantian Masters! I borrow the strength of the metal element Spirit Vein Pearl to make the sword energy much sharper. Once this little thing enters Grade Four, I will be able to reach fifty feet. Unfortunately it was a metal element one; if it was water and lighting it would be even more overbearing!”

Stowing his sword, Zong Shou waved forwards with strength. A light ringing sounded out within the carriage as the surrounding air seemed like it was trembling.

“Without using the Lightning Travelling Spirit Bone, I have eighty-five hundred kilograms of force! I’m just a step away from Xiantian!”

Just as he was about to display his light body technique, he frowned once more. A thought had Little Gold turn into a thin layer and burrow into his sleeve as he sat down beside the table in the carriage.

In a few breaths, he saw Xuanyuan Yiren who had left crying a few days ago, coming into his carriage.

Zong Shou originally thought she came over to scold him, but after she came up, she only looked at him with a complicated expression. She placed a bottle of pills in front of him without saying anything.

Zong Shou’s brow furrowed, taking that pill bottle in his hands and asking curiously, “What is this?”

“This is the modified pill refined from the recipe you gave me, the Psychic Mysterious Sense Pill! I added in Spirit Revealing Grass and Daylily Bamboo Heart. It might not be as good as the recipe you have, but I believe it’s effects won’t be too different. I modified the pill so that it can be used along with the Meridian Spirit Pill. It might not be able to reduce the pain, but it can help you last longer. You can also use the Meridian Spirit Pill to train soul power, helping to complement one another…”

Xuanyuan Yiren seemed too tired to explain, her expression were languishing. Her eyes were like red cherries; it was obvious she cried for a long time after she returned.

“So that’s why!”

Zong Shou felt warm in his heart, but his expression didn’t change. He nodded and opened the bottle. His fiancée was really rich; there were a total of hundred of this Psychic Mysterious Sense Pill. Just the costs of the raw materials used were a lot.

To refine such spiritual pills, normal silver charcoal was useless, and one needed to use rarer elite coals.

Feeling delighted, Zong Shou stashed it without any signs of courtesy. He knew that the three true talismans he needed to form for the Out of Body Realm had been solved.

Then he felt a headache. Thinking about it, he needed to reveal the reason for making her refine that Chill Spirit Mysterious Sense Pill.

His eyes shone as he frowned, “Your pill seems decent. But doesn’t it defeat the purpose? Does this pill have an icy soul effect? I read a book that said that the ice blue grass can reduce heart fire and calm the senses. That snow stem can also clear heat and clear the lungs up. Let’s hope your pill isn’t much worse than that…”

Xuanyuan Yiren was instantly furious and unhappy. Although she was a gentle and calm person, no matter how good her temper, she wouldn’t easily get angry. However, she didn’t allow people to question her pill refining skills. This new pill was one she specifically helped Zong Shou make, so how could the effects be weak?

Then her heart jumped and emotions rose up in her eyes as she grabbed his hand, asking anxiously, “You said that ice blue grass can reduce heart fire and calm the senses, snow stem can reduce fire and clear the lungs. Is that true? What book did it come from?”

Zong Shou could only feel like his wrists were being clamped down, slightly hurting. He knew that this girl had lost her bearings and her strength was above five thousand kilograms? It was enough to crush a Grade Two beast. Luckily, he had managed to train his bones; if not they would have shattered.

His brows frowned before relaxing again. Zong Shou smiled casually, “I don’t remember which book it is. Gantian Mountain has so many books, Linhai College has three big depositories, so who would remember which book it was? Would you know if you try?”

Xuanyuan Yiren was startled and dumbfounded as she pulled back her hand. After a short while she calmed herself down. Thinking back to the few needle holes in her body a day ago, she couldn’t help but look over in doubt.

Zong Shou felt guilty as she looked at him, his eyelids couldn’t help but twitch. He thought that this girl had finally found out that he was extraordinary? He was a bright pearl whose glow was unable to be hidden. Even such a dumb girl could notice…

Just as he was eagerly awaiting it, he only heard her say emotionally, “Is the prince good at acupuncture? To know the pill formulas of the Meridian Spirit Pill and the Chill Spirit Mysterious Sense Pill and also the effects of snow stem and blue ice grass, you are also good at medicine. As they say, someone who is sick for long can become a doctor, Prince must have thought of numerous methods to cure your dual meridians. You were the one that saved me yesterday, right? Yiren misunderstood you…”

Zong Shou stood rooted to the ground, laughing bitterly in his heart, speechless once more. After a short while he mocked himself; forget it, at least she stopped misunderstanding him for a pervert.

However her tone changed once more, “Although the prince was forced by circumstance, but after all, I’m a pure body. Since things have reached such a stage, when are you going to seek my parent’s approval for the marriage?”

When she said that, she stared at Zong Shou, both nervous and serious.

Zong Shou was at a loss. He wanted to speak several times, but swallowed his words. Towards this pair of eyes, he really couldn’t bring himself to annul the marriage.

Just as he was feeling depressed in his heart, like he was becoming more and more a heartless person, not knowing what to answer, Chuxue exclaimed on the outside, “Young Master, the fog here is huge! Uncle Lian has taken a few spins around here, but is unable to get out. I think we lost our way…”

Zong Shou immediately dashed out; he had been saved! When he rushed out, he only saw a fog in front of his eyes. Like being within the cloud ocean, anything after a hundred yards couldn’t be seen.

Luckily Xuanyuan Yiren’s carriage followed closely behind and didn’t get lost. Li Yunniang wasn’t allowing the Windrider Foals to guide themselves, personally driving the carriage.

Zong Shou looked around, but didn’t know where he was. He only knew that this was really vast and the ground was really flat.

The two carriages had travelled several miles in this area, and didn’t experience any climbs or falls.

“How did we get lost travelling on flat ground?”

Zong Shou’s brow furrowed, filled with doubt. Lian Fan was a Xiantian Master and be it senses or directional sense, he would exceed normal people. Even if there was a fog he should be able to see two hundred yards and basically wouldn’t be affected.

This path continued west with no turns, so how did they get lost?

Zong Shou looked up into the sky, and after a short while he revealed a serious expression on his face.

“These last few days the weather has been dry, so this fog wasn’t formed naturally. This area is also really wide, covering at least a hundred miles. If it isn’t from a formation, then it would be from spiritual techniques. Is there someone who wants to harm me?”
