Divine Brilliance

Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Turning from Arrogance to Deference

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After catching up with Zong Shou’s carriage, Xuanyuan Yiren and Li Yunniang hopped onto his carriage with no trace of politeness. They didn’t even care about the carriage behind them.

What was weird was that the eighteen Windrider Foals were all really tame, not needing people to control them as they followed closely behind.

Zong Shou’s mood was really down, waiting for the two of them to enter before bothering to say, “This isn’t good, right? Miss Xuanyuan, you still are unmarried, and to share such a small space with your fiancé.. it won’t be good for your reputation...”

“The turns are troubling and we can’t care too much. As long as we can answer to ourselves, it is fine. Furthermore, with Sister Yunniang here, who would gossip?” Xuanyuan Yiren shook her head, unbothered. Her eyes were filled with eagerness as she looked at Zong Shou, “You still haven’t told me which book the formula for that Meridian Spirit Pill came from. Do you have other formulas? Although that pill is refined, it’s best if we find other pills to target your dual meridians or use acupuncture techniques or fist techniques to relax your meridians. Maybe the book you saw has other clues...”

“There’s is no medicine book I just fortunately saw the pill formula.”

Zong Shou could only feel his entire body devoid of energy. Even if his heart was filled with awe, and even though Xuanyuan Yiren was smart, he didn’t want to deal with her. When he saw the disappointment on her face, his heart was moved enough to take a brush and ink and casually write a formula, “There are a few similar formulas like this Chill Spirit Mysterious Sense Pill! Maybe Miss Yiren can use it.”

In his last life he didn’t know how to refine pills, but he had a desire to improve. He remembered many pill formulas from the future, but he didn’t know how to make a single one. It wasn’t a waste to write this formula out as compensation for her helping him refine the Meridian Spirit Pill. action

Xuanyuan Yiren’s eyes lit up slightly, when Zong Shou wrote the last line she eagerly snatched it, “Chill Spirit Mysterious Sense Pill? Ice blue grass, sweet basil, dried orange, black budworm, cold alum. What a weird formula, and it looks hard to refine. I have never heard of two of the ingredients? What’s the use of this pill? If I don’t know, I won’t know what fire to use when refining...”

Unlike before with the Meridian Spirit Pill, although Zong Shou wrote out all the required amounts, she was still unable to deduce the use of this pill. She took the formula, muttering in a trance.

Seeing the situation, Zong Shou’s confidence recovered a bit. Although her talents were strong, in the end there was still a limit.

The Chill Spirit Mysterious Sense Pill was a pill developed in the future for people after the Out of Body Realm, and was similar to the Seven Spirit Sect’s Snow Spirit Pill. It helped increase soul power and meditate to purify the soul. However, the strength of the medicine was three times stronger than the Snow Spirit Pill.

It also had another effect, which was to make a person’s body as cold as ice.

He wrote this recipe both for himself, and also to help her.

At this moment it wasn’t appropriate to directly tell her that this could help her Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method. At least when she cultivated she could wear her clothes and didn’t need to be naked. He could only let her figure that out by herself.

Still, he was happy to see such a situation. As for that Li Yunniang, he was too lazy to bother about her. He laid down on the soft mattress and continued to review all the martial art techniques in his memory.

Since he couldn’t ditch these two people, then he should just treat them as air.

—

My Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique is the base, it can accept everything and is inclusive. Doesn’t that fit my martial path, which included the pros of hundreds of paths? However, it’s best if I get rid of some of the weaknesses within. It’s better to be slightly weaker than have hidden problems. As for how to merge with the illusion art and lightning techniques, I can take a look at the combined mark of the Seven Tail Fox and the Lightning Phoenix . With that, he suddenly saw the whole thing in a big picture.

With that idea, Zong Shou let his mind roam totally free, numerous chants and words along with various energy cultivating technique essences were found by him and pieced together.

Without spending much effort a rough structure had already formed. Even the basic Body Chakra portion was thought up, and all that was left was to test it out.

“Heh! Spiral meridians, Indefinite Spirit Emperor Art, Nine Destruction Unrestrained Lightning Technique, Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion. Who knows maybe I can personally create a world shocking technique! It’s best if it can coexist and aid my spiritual technique. Oh right, my soul has reached the Out of Body Realm and needs to cultivate a Spirit Cultivation technique. Although the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique is good, it is not suitable. I need to find another set of techniques to work together with it!”

The joyous expression on his face receded a little as he started to frown once more.

——

Li Yunniang looked on in confusion from the side. The disdainful look on her face grew thicker.

He knew that his cultivation talents were worse than others and had a Dual Meridian Body, so he should be more hardworking than others. Instead he was so lazy, laying on the mattress and who knew what stupid things he was thinking about.

Even if Little Miss could help him solve his dual meridians, it would be useless. This person was a bunch of spoiled sand, unable to be built into a man.

Looking around at the carriage at the newly crafted talismans, she was slightly astonished. These talismans were really exquisite and profound.

But right after, she didn’t care much. Even Yin Yang left this person, so it shows how he didn’t have hope for this Gantian Mountain Prince. The situation he was in was predictable.

Just as she laughed coldly, she saw a bundle of smoke and dust race up behind them. It was really quick, chasing up in just a short moment.

The head was wearing a black shirt, around forty years old, but his body was dyed with blood. Behind him were a bunch of horsemen, three Xiantian Masters, twelve seven meridian Mythic Masters. At the back were two women whose cultivation wasn’t weak. They also brought tens of Windrider Foals, a few of the horses had purple-gold eyes and horns on their heads.

Li Yunniang’s brows rose. She recognized this person, it was the butler of the City Lord’s manor. She couldn’t help but find it weird. Why wasn’t he in the city, and why did he come over here?

Just as she touched her sword in caution, that black shirt man jumped in front of the carriage. He bowed, saying, “Prince benefactor, please stop for a moment, this Liancheng has some things to say.”

The eighteen Cloud Stepping Foals were all startled, standing up on two legs. Chuxue controlled them with much difficulty, forcing them to halt.

Li Yunniang was startled. Benefactor? What did that mean? Zong Shou was the only Prince here, so why did he call him benefactor? Did he get things wrong?

Zong Shou’s train of thought was broken, buthe had expected this and wasn’t annoyed. Neither did he get off, just standing beside the window, looking out, looking at the carriage expressionlessly. “What’s the matter?”

Looking at the exquisitely wrapped gifts, Zong Shou was able to guess the reason why the butler came.

Those ten martial cultivators all got off their horses and knelt down in front of the carriage, their expressions solemn and respectful.

Li Yunniang was feeling wierder and weirder. Not long ago, she heard that the Cloud Saint City Lord had treated him really coldly. Apart from ensuring his safety, he didn’t care about anything else, not even meeting him. The reason why Zong Shou left was said to be because the City Lord chased him away!

But what was happening now?

Liancheng opened up his mouth once more, his voice loud and respectful, “My master told me to spread the message to say that he won’t forget your kindness. The Prince has brought so few people on your journey to the west, which is why he send these men to protect you. These are all his servants whom he helped in the past, from now on they are yours. Apart from that there are some gifts to make your style of travel more comfortable...”

As she heard that, Li Yunniang’s expression was totally stunned. Twelve Mythic Masters and three Xiantian Masters weren’t following them, but outright given to him? The power of the Cloud Saint City Lord, was only average, but he still dared to be so generous?

What did Zong Shou do for him such that he had to give such a huge gift?

Looking at those gifts, even if they were wrapped up, just by the aura one could see how huge they were. Among them were four Grade Five beast crystals!

Zong Shou smiled, coldly shaking his head, “I don’t need the men, Zong Shou doesn’t need protectors. However I will accept the gift and horses. Coincidentally, I need these Windrider Foals.”

When Li Yunniang heard that she was filled with melancholy. You, Zong Shou, are a piece of trash, to actually say that you no need protectors? Did he really think he could return to Gantian Mountain with only the help of the two of them?

The value of the gifts weren’t small. Eighteen Windrider Foals, each was around thirty Grade Four beast crystals. Only Cloud Saint City, which was near the cloud ocean and one of the producing areas for them could take them out. There were even four of them that looked like mutated Gold Eye Wind Defense beasts, able to scare off beasts. Their combat strength was exceptional, even Li Yunniang didn’t have such steeds!

Zong Shou’s tone sounded like accepting these gifts was him giving face to Cloud Saint City!

Liancheng smiled happily, and after hesitating a while, he opened his mouth, “With the Prince’s ability you do not have need for these people. However, to control the Windriders you need a coachman. I have a person here known as Lian Fan, who is a Xiantian master. His ability isn’t bad, he knows how to keep a secret and is really loyal; his family is controlled by the City Lord, so we won’t spoil your plans!”

Zong Shou was startled, keep a secret, spoil his big plans? What plan does he have that they were afraid to spoil?

Thinking about it, he had some idea, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to explain, but was too lazy to do so, just letting these people misunderstand.

Li Yunniang’s mouth was agape as she looked at Zong Shou, for the first time she feeling that this rubbish-like Gantian Mountain Prince was deep and indiscernible.

Chuxue’s brows were relaxed and happy. With this new coachman, she would be relieved of her duties. This driving thing was so boring and annoying!
