Chapter 248: Spreading Wings

In this nameless desolate mountain, Zhang Jian also felt some surprise in his eyes.

He had seen in the《Gui Yuan Ce》an introduction to such a marvelous acupoint; this acupoint is one of the twenty-eight superior geomantic marvels.

Its rank surpasses that of the Azure Dragon Spitting Pearl Acupoint, second only to the Fire Dragon Acupoint.

People say that if ancestors are buried in the Fire Dragon Acupoint, later descendants will surely produce emperors and kings.

Beneath the Fire Dragon Acupoint gestates a fire dragon vein, nurturing the fire dragon's spirit; obtaining it allows a certain probability of nurturing the Fire Virtue True Lord destiny pattern among the Five Virtues True Lord destiny patterns, demonstrating its miraculous power.

Likewise, the Flying Bird Spreading Wings Acupoint also possesses miraculous ability: the bird itself, with its double wings, can draw upon the power of the heavenly constellations, enabling later descendants to command the three armies.

That geomancer was not mistaken either.

Moreover, this acupoint also has a certain probability of nurturing several extraordinary stellar destinies, such as the Three Stars of Killing Breaking Wolf.

Zhang Jian pondered slightly.

If it were the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion, then he might possibly take advantage of the situation, laying another geomantic marvelous formation around to draw down the power of the Northern Dipper constellations.

The Killing Breaking Wolf stars are among the Northern Dipper constellations, also including the Literary Martial Lu Cun; perhaps unexpected gains could be had.

At the very least, there could be a guaranteed minimum.

"The Killing Breaking Wolf Three Stars converging in two is already sufficient to help my Zhang family accomplish great undertakings; thereafter, only needing to proceed step by step to become sages, we can smoothly seize this splendid land of rivers and mountains, establishing the foundation for longevity!"

Zhang Jian's expression remained calm.

"Father, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Yi at this moment did not understand what Zhang Jian was thinking; he immediately lifted his head, feeling the mound before him was bald and bare, utterly boring.

"Nothing much, merely gazing at the splendid future of my Zhang family!"

Zhang Jian gave a light smile.

Zhang Yi tilted his head, not quite understanding what "splendid future" referred to?

……

Scholar's Official Mansion, after Zhang Jian returned, he used the conch to contact Bai Laiying.

True Dragon Dao Academy interior

Bai Laiying at this moment was in the deep water spring; all around were surging dark currents, before her eyes were one after another water net restrictions.

And at the end of the water net restriction was a portion of spirit-nourished growing spirit objects; in the distance could be seen patches of vine dragon forests.

Vine dragon, heard to also be one of the dragon species, belonging to the Azure Dragon lineage.

It governs the wood-attributed wind and thunder power between heaven and earth.

The vine dragon forest before them is heard to be transformed from the blood of an ancient Azure Dragon; the forest contains abundant Azure Dragon Dao resonance; passing through the water net restriction ahead allows entry to contemplate the Azure Dragon Dao resonance within, and to collect fallen branches from the vine dragon forest for refining magical implements.

Relying on the absolute rationality granted by the《Shang Wang Qing Fa》, she had sword lights flowing in her hand, dismantling part of the water net restriction; shortly after, she entered the edge of the vine dragon forest.

By the tree, she sheathed her sword, gazing at the dim vine dragon spirit wood behind her, her jade countenance also revealing a look of joy.

"It seems finding an opportunity still requires more communication with my husband; his attainments in rune studies are truly unimaginable..."

Bai Laiying's thoughts flashed: the many restrictions below the True Dragon Dao Academy are likewise constructed from universal runes; mastery of rune studies confers great advantage.

This also allows her, within the True Dragon Dao Academy, to occupy considerable advantage in competition with fellow disciples.

The advantage is still expanding.

At this moment, her pupils moved; a faint spiritual light appeared in her hand as a small conch, within which another message at this moment flowed into her soul's depths.

"Did Yi'er awaken his first divine talent so quickly?"

After deciphering the coded message in her mind, Bai Laiying's eyes showed some undisguised delight, simultaneously accompanied by some guilt.

Since Zhang Yi's birth, she has consistently left him to Zhang Jian and Qi Yuhua; she has not fulfilled her maternal duties.

However, Zhang Yi awakening his bloodline so quickly is still somewhat beyond her expectation.

Similar to her, although she claims to be of extraordinary innate endowment, she is also an aberrant carp clan member, bearing flood dragon bloodline, yet awakening bloodline talent only occurs after a sixty-year cycle, and even then only through accidental outbreak in peril.

A half-demon body, by rights, should not awaken this quickly.

Evidently, this should be related to Zhang Jian's bloodline and teachings.

In the moment of thought, Bai Laiying immediately offered part of her advice on how to enhance and train this divine talent.

……

Scholar's Official Mansion, Zhang Jian raised the conch in his hand; a message fell into his mind.

"What Yi'er awakened should be the water vein rhythm of my Han Carp clan! This divine talent can sense changes in surrounding water flow, allowing Yi'er to often maintain soul perception, and additionally can use this method to temper the soul, aiding future cultivation of water techniques and ice techniques, but must proceed gradually, carefully avoiding harm to Yi'er's soul..."

This message was extremely detailed.

Zhang Jian even felt it somewhat nagging.

He secretly shook his head.

Bai Laiying still cannot do what she herself said, being free of worries.

This should also be Zhang Yi's fortune.

Zhang Jian immediately summoned Zhang Yi to his side, gave him some instructions, then allowed him free activity.

Zhang Yi's time for free activity is not much longer; he is preparing multiple cultivation packages for Zhang Yi next.

……

Scholar's Official Mansion, in the afternoon Zhang Jian began explaining body-forging cultivation methods to the household members.

Besides Zhang Lu listening in, other family members in the mansion also listened quietly from the side.

Qi Yuhua wore a red robe; at the side, she practices internal family health cultivation; listening in also brought her some benefit.

What Zhang Jian transmitted to Zhang Lu was a method that can directly reach the Land Immortal Demon Realm.

"Metal Lung Like Intention Decree!"

This Like Intention Decree evolved from the innate true scripture of the Tongshan White Tiger clan; successful cultivation can condense a path of extremely pure Geng Metal意境, ultimately taking this as foundation to condense the White Tiger God Aspect.

If one day Zhang Lu can step into the Land Immortal Demon Realm, he can rely on this, merging his own White Tiger Star Destiny Pattern, to condense the White Tiger Star Lord Dharma Aspect.

The future may yet hold a bright prospect; even the path of martial longevity could harbor a glimmer of hope.

Zhang Lu did not know what Zhang Jian was thinking in his heart, but upon comprehending this wondrous method, he felt it profoundly mysterious, especially its Geng Metal artistic conception—decisive and lethal in slaughter—he felt it perfectly suited to his own nature.

"Many thanks, my lord!"

He slightly cupped his fists.

Zhang Jian nodded slightly and then continued explaining to Zhang Lu the cultivation secrets of the Geng Metal Ruyi Art—how to condense the lung-metal qi force, ultimately transforming it into the Geng Metal artistic conception.

After finishing explaining all the cultivation secrets to Zhang Lu, Zhang Jian then explained part of the cultivation methods of the Nourishing Life Classic to Qi Yuhua.

Zhang Jian actually also hoped Qi Yuhua could embark on the path of longevity, but unfortunately, not everyone possesses that qualification; the will to walk the path of cultivation.

The path of cultivation is filled with dangers, and many secret arts are likewise riddled with traps; without great perseverance, great wisdom, and great courage, one may not necessarily be able to traverse this road.

Qi Yuhua does have some cultivation aptitude, but her will is merely somewhat stronger than that of ordinary women; entering the cultivation world inevitably brings unforeseen perils, and Zhang Jian may not be able to protect her completely.

Rather than let her tread the path of cultivation, it would be better to wait until he buys the residence and ascends to immortality.

……

Just as Zhang Jian proceeded step by step in his lectures, cultivation, and instruction of Zhang Yi and Zhang Lu in their cultivation.

In the depths of Dongling, yet again, deep within, an anomaly occurred.

But see, deep within the dragon veins, suddenly there emerged endless dragon roars and cries, stirring the winds and clouds above the dragon veins to change color.
