Chapter 391: Chapter 391
Qinglian Fairy’s eyes sharpened, revealing a look of surprise. She knew Wen Zhixing was casting a spell, assuming he was cultivating some secret skill. But now, Wen Zhixing’s sudden change led her to wonder, could he be suffering from Qi Deviation?
As Qinglian Fairy was amassing Spiritual Qi in her hand, preparing to intervene, Wen Zhixing suddenly opened his eyes wide, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and waved his hand, "I’m fine, no worries, heh-heh, there was a bit of a blockage in my blood, just had to clear it out to promote circulation."
[Your body has completely recovered.]
"How can you be fine when your aura has weakened to such a degree? You must have succumbed to Qi Deviation... Huh?" Qinglian Fairy wanted to argue, but she saw Wen Zhixing’s aura rapidly recovering, and in an instant, his pale face regained its color.
"This is...?" Qinglian Fairy was a bit stunned.
"Qinglian Fairy, what I did was ’blood circulation,’ akin to letting blood flow through the body like Spiritual Qi, completing a full cycle. It’s a method to nurture and warm the flesh, which can promote the body’s self-healing ability," Wen Zhixing said, talking nonsense as he got up with a laugh and casually took off his clothes to change into something clean.
"Blood circulation? There’s such a technique?" Upon hearing this somewhat unfamiliar term, Qinglian Fairy was truly taken aback. She even began to consider the feasibility of this method. Could it be that Wen Zhixing was really testing this secret skill just now? But somehow, it didn’t quite seem that way. Strange.
Seeing Qinglian Fairy fooled, Wen Zhixing also breathed a sigh of relief and then swiftly changed into a new robe.
"Blood is the essence energy of the physical body; how can one simply exchange so much of it? With that much blood lost, how can the body not be weakened?" Qinglian Fairy muttered to herself, head lowered. Could it require elixirs to work in conjunction? No, that’s not right...
"Qinglian Fairy, it’s been some time since we left the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land. Where shall we go now?" Wen Zhixing asked, interrupting her thoughts. He couldn’t let her dwell on the nonsense he had blurted out.
"Naturally, we’re heading to the Purple Cloud Divine Sect. Don’t you want to visit your senior and junior sisters?" Qinglian Fairy snapped back to reality, frowning as she spoke. It wasn’t that she was dissatisfied with Wen Zhixing, but rather she couldn’t make sense of the blood circulation technique. It was somewhat incomprehensible. Could this method truly be effective?
"Qinglian Fairy, I don’t want to go anymore," Wen Zhixing shook his head quietly. He had originally planned to head to the Purple Cloud Divine Sect, but now the situation was different. He had come to know that Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli had been captured and taken to the Lu Immortal Mansion. In other words, these people might be waiting for him at that very mansion.
Qinglian Fairy was immediately taken aback. "Then where do you want to go?"
"To the Lu Immortal Mansion," Wen Zhixing replied.
"You want to go to the Lu Immortal Mansion?" Qinglian Fairy found this odd, but then the token at her waist started flashing. Clearly, a message was incoming. This was obviously a secret message, and Qinglian Fairy did not let Wen Zhixing hear its content. But upon hearing only half of it, Qinglian Fairy showed a look of surprise and turned to Wen Zhixing. "You know already?"
"Mmm, I know," he nodded, not denying it.
Qinglian Fairy’s gaze flickered slightly, and then without hesitation, she said, "Alright, since you want to go, let’s make a trip to the Lu Immortal Mansion." For her, if it was just the Lu Immortal Mansion, the pressure wasn’t so great after all. The Lu Immortal Mansion was merely a clan. Even with its great reputation, its depth could not compare to that of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.
"Thank you, Fairy. However, as we approach, let’s separate and go our own ways; otherwise, my disguise will have been in vain," Wen Zhixing suggested meaningfully. How could he not guess that his movements had always been within someone else’s grasp? Staying with Qinglian Fairy might offer him some protection, but it would interfere with his plans. Moreover, Qinglian Fairy might not necessarily be able to protect him in the end.
"Hmm?" Qinglian Fairy frowned, but then she thought it over and felt Wen Zhixing was right. She had wanted to keep Wen Zhixing close to prevent him from coming to harm. But if she kept him close by at all times, wouldn’t that increase the chances of trouble?
"Alright, but you must stay in touch with me at all times and not act alone. Do you understand?" Qinglian Fairy gave Wen Zhixing a stern look as she instructed.
"Of course," Wen Zhixing nodded slightly and smiled in agreement. "I’m aware of my own strength; I won’t do anything as foolish as pitting an egg against a rock."
"Good, that’s settled then." Qinglian Fairy seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and then stood up to walk outside. Since they were heading to the Lu Immortal Mansion, she would also need to make some arrangements in advance.
A slight smile blossomed on Qinglian Fairy’s fair face. The Lu Immortal Mansion, huh? This matter is indeed more interesting than before. Having been in the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land for so long, this trip could be considered a chance for her to unwind as well. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Nove1Fire.net
[Fortune Fragment discovered. Would you like to spend one month’s life-span to randomly collect?]
Before Qinglian Fairy left, Wen Zhixing, having nothing else to do, collected Fortune Fragments five more times. After all, there was still a way to go to reach the Lu Family. The Fortune Fragments could only be collected from Qinglian Fairy herself.
[White Fortune Fragment +2, Current White Fortune Fragments: 2/2.]
[Blue Fortune Fragment +1, Current Blue Fortune Fragments: 3/3.]
[Purple Fortune Fragment +1, Current Purple Fortune Fragments: 1/4.]
[Golden Fortune Fragment +1, Current Golden Fortune Fragments: 5/5.]
[Current life-span: 966.]
"Wait a second!" Wen Zhixing had simply randomly collected the Fortune Fragments without paying much attention. But when the Golden Fortune Fragment appeared, he couldn’t help but shudder with excitement. He stood up abruptly. He had finally drawn another Golden Fortune Fragment!
[Golden Fortune Fragment (5/5) has been collected. You can spend one month’s life-span to combine and will receive one of the following fortunes:]
[One: Obtain Divine Ability: Seven Stars Divination.]
[Two: Obtain 8,000 Fortune Points.]
[Three: Obtain the fortune of Qinglian Fairy.]
Option one! Obtain Divine Ability: Seven Stars Divination. Wen Zhixing’s eyes swept over the three options, and after a brief contemplation, he made his choice directly. 8,000 Fortune Points are good, but how can they compare to a complete Golden Quality Divine Ability?
[Congratulations! You have obtained a Legendary Level Divine Ability!]
[Seven Stars Divination:] Blazing Gold Quality. This Divine Ability allows the ignition of seven life-fires within the body, granting seven lives simultaneously. Each death will be followed by a rebirth from fire. However, after the life-fires are extinguished seven times, the soul will scatter and perish.
[Disadvantage: Once a life-fire is extinguished, it cannot be reignited.]
[Spend 100,000 Fortune Points to upgrade to Yin God Quality.]
This... seven lives! Wen Zhixing’s heart began to pound fiercely. Originally, he had wanted to feed this Divine Ability to his Inborn Divine Ability. But now, he hesitated. These were seven lives. This was literally a life-saver. Having seven lives would mean he no longer needed to be on tenterhooks when taking action. But... I already have the Life Defying Blood Body... Wen Zhixing then remembered another of his Divine Abilities—the Life Defying Blood Body. This was, in essence, another life of his. It was also one of his trump cards. The most crucial point was that the Life Defying Blood Body was only of Blue Quality. If it were to be upgraded to Legendary Quality... it should be no less than Seven Stars Divination, and perhaps even stronger.
Never mind, swallow it! Wen Zhixing clenched his teeth, his eyes narrowed, making a decisive choice to have his Inborn Divine Ability consume this new one. It’s not that Seven Stars Divination isn’t good, but he wanted to take a gamble. To make his Inborn Divine Ability stronger!
[Your Divine Ability: Seven Stars Divination is being consumed, bolstering the potential of your Inborn Divine Ability...]
[After consumption, estimated potential of Inborn Divine Ability: Blazing Gold Quality.]
[Your Inborn Divine Ability has reached the pinnacle of Legendary Level and cannot be improved further.]
[The gestation speed of your Inborn Divine Ability has increased!]
[Your Inborn Divine Ability is about to be successfully nurtured!]
So soon! Wen Zhixing was momentarily stunned when he saw these panel prompts. His heartbeat sped up involuntarily. Soon, he would be able to see if his heavy investment in his Inborn Divine Ability was truly worth it.
