Chapter 130: The secrets of the Five Elements Old Man! Karma!
"True Disciple Zheng, it's been a while since I've seen you."
Jiang Ye stood up with a smile to welcome him.
During these days, he could occasionally hear Zheng Hui's voice coming from Chen Lili's side, chirping like a happy little bird.
Zheng Feng must have returned and gone into seclusion for a period of time; this was the first time he had seen him.
Especially the faint fire qi around Zheng Feng's body, which was even more scorching and faintly showing signs of overflowing, clearly indicating a significant improvement. It seemed he had already absorbed most of the medicinal power of that Blazing Sun Flower.
"Elder Jiang, I didn't disturb your cultivation, did I?"
Seeing Jiang Ye sitting cross-legged on the ground of the herb garden, Zheng Feng realized that Jiang Ye should have been cultivating, and a flash of apology appeared on his refined face.
At the same time, he was secretly shocked; he was increasingly unable to see through Elder Jiang's aura.
After returning to Tianyang Peak, he had swallowed the Blazing Sun Flower obtained in the ruins, and by relying on the medicinal power of the Blazing Sun Flower, he had opened up seven regular meridians, just a line away from the late-stage of the Pill Embracing Realm.
As a result, facing Elder Jiang again, he still had a feeling of looking at flowers through a fog.
"Haha, no matter, I was just thinking of moving around."
Jiang Ye smiled faintly, took Zheng Feng into the wooden house, and brewed a pot of good tea.
The tea soup was clear, the tea fragrance was curling, and the two sat opposite each other, which had a bit of the leisure of a hermit.
After a cup of clear tea, Jiang Ye smiled faintly: "True Disciple Zheng, what news do you have again?"
He knew that this kid Zheng Feng was usually quite steady.
To make this kid look so excited, there must be some big news.
Zheng Feng drank a cup of clear tea, his expression carrying a trace of excitement and a trace of solemnity, and he lowered his voice:
"Elder Jiang, do you know which people were finally alarmed by the ruins of the previous dynasty?"
Jiang Ye shook his head slightly, "I've been cooped up in this herb garden these days; how would I know this."
In the past, he could have that little fatty Lü Ming report the news in the sect to him in time.
But the ruins of the previous dynasty involved too much, and the sect deliberately suppressed the spread of the news, so even that kid Lü Ming couldn't find out anything.
Zheng Feng showed an "I knew it" expression and continued: "The involvement of these ruins of the previous dynasty is truly too great. It is said that our Linzhou Upper Sect alone sent several Primordial Realm martial artists!"
"Primordial Realm martial artists?!"
Jiang Ye was slightly startled.
He had also seen some rough introductions in the Qi-Nurturing Methods before.
After embracing qi into a pill, a martial artist's lifespan can break through the limit and live for two sixty-year cycles without illness or disaster.
Above the Embracing the Pill Realm is the transformation of true qi into divine qi, and strength will usher in rapid progress.
However, except for martial artists who cultivate health-preserving techniques, their lifespan will not change much.
Above the Divine Qi Realm, drawing a mouthful of primordial true qi into the body is completely different.
They will enter a brand-new realm, known as the Primordial Realm, and their lifespan can reach over three hundred.
They can be called a True Person.
He had already learned from Zheng Feng how powerful the Linzhou Upper Sect was.
But he didn't expect it to be so shocking.
Most of the elders of their Tianqing Sect are martial artists of the Embracing the Pill Realm.
"Is this the behemoth sect that governs the eighteen prefectures of Linzhou..."
Jiang Ye exclaimed in his heart.
Zheng Feng took a deep breath and continued, his voice filled with a bit of emotion: "However, what is most shocking is that even the thousand-year family of the northern Feng Prefecture, the Shangguan family, was alarmed and sent the contemporary genius of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Linghua, to the ruins to find out the truth!"
"Thousand-year family? Shangguan family?"
Jiang Ye was startled again.
Zheng Feng knew that Jiang Ye must have never heard of the Shangguan family's name, so he immediately explained, his speaking speed a bit faster:
"As the saying goes, dynasties flow like water, but families last for a thousand years..."
"This Shangguan family is not simple; its existence spans several dynasties, experiencing the change of dynasties without falling, and can be called one of the families with the deepest foundation in the Zhou Kingdom!"
"It is said that the library of the Shangguan family collects martial arts classics from several dynasties; just taking out one would be enough for our Tianqing Sect to use as a treasure of the sect."
"This Shangguan Linghua is even more extraordinary..."
When Zheng Feng said this, a trace of awe flashed in his eyes, and even his voice lowered a bit.
Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask:
"True Disciple Zheng, you are also from a wealthy family in the Linzhou Great City. How does this Shangguan Linghua compare to you?"
Hearing this, Zheng Feng was directly stunned, and that refined and handsome face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, burning from his cheeks to his ear roots.
He really didn't expect Jiang Ye to think so highly of him, comparing him to that kind of genius...
Is he worthy?
"Elder Jiang... I... how can I compare to that kind of genius."
Zheng Feng shook his head with a red face, his face carrying a bit of embarrassment and a bit of self-deprecation:
"It is said that Shangguan Linghua awakened the special trait of the Shangguan family and possesses the True Thunder Spirit Body..."
Hearing this, the faces of Xu Qinghuan and Yang Han flashed in Jiang Ye's mind, and a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Another special constitution?
In this world, why are there so many people who are born stronger than others?
Immediately, Jiang Ye asked curiously: "Is it the kind of special constitution similar to Xu Qinghuan's?"
"Xu Qinghuan?!"
Zheng Feng paused, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Is it the Xu Qinghuan who is Jin Hai's fiancée and possesses the True Yin Constitution?!"
"Yes."
Jiang Ye nodded slightly.
Zheng Feng shook his head and smiled, his smile carrying a bit of emotion: "Although Xu Qinghuan's True Yin Constitution is rare, its main function is to help others cultivate, which cannot be compared with the True Thunder Spirit Body at all."
"It is said that Shangguan Linghua is born able to nourish the most violent thunder qi in the world."
"Even the true disciples of the Upper Sect are a bit weaker in front of her."
"I estimate that except for a peerless genius who can comprehend martial arts intent, or someone who cultivates more than four types of true qi..."
"This Shangguan Linghua is basically invincible among those of the same rank."
He sighed long, his tone filled with looking up:
"This is a peerless figure destined to shine throughout the Zhou Kingdom."
Jiang Ye nodded thoughtfully, looking at Zheng Feng in front of him, a flash of playfulness flashed in his eyes.
Comprehend martial arts intent?
Cultivate four types of true qi?
This old man is exactly that peerless genius.
It's just that he naturally wouldn't say this out loud; he just picked up the teacup, took a sip, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Zheng Feng looked at Jiang Ye, who was lost in thought, thinking he was shocked by this news, and continued, his tone carrying a bit of excitement: "By the way, Elder Jiang, in addition to my cultivation these days, I specifically looked up a lot of information and finally found some records about the 'Five Elements Old Man'."
"Oh?!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ye immediately became interested, put down the teacup, and looked at Zheng Feng with burning eyes.
Zheng Feng drank a cup of clear tea, moistened his throat, and then said unhurriedly:
"This 'Five Elements Old Man' is not simple..."
"There are not many records about him."
"However, the records about him... are all shocking..."
He paused, a trace of awe flashing in his eyes:
"He was active in the era before the previous dynasty, cultivated the five elements true qi, fused them perfectly, and was one of the strongest geniuses at the time!"
"According to those ancient books, even those geniuses who were born favored by heaven and possessed special constitutions were defeated by him..."
"What's even more shocking is that he acted unscrupulously and provoked countless powerful enemies..."
"The Imperial Princess, the true disciples of the Upper Sect, the descendants of thousand-year families... all seemed to hate him to the bone and issued a kill order at the time!"
Hearing this, the surprise on Jiang Ye's face grew even stronger, and his brows frowned slightly: "What did this 'Five Elements Old Man' do at the time to provoke such public anger..."
Zheng Feng shook his head slightly, showing regret: "I am also very curious about this; I checked a lot of ancient books, but there is no record of it..."
"However, I did find something quite interesting."
He changed the subject, a flash of gossip light in his eyes, "The family that issued the kill order against the 'Five Elements Old Man' at the time... was the current Shangguan family..."
"Think about it again, Shangguan Linghua, who came from the far north to the ruins, is she trying to take revenge..."
"Hatred spanning over a thousand years!!!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ye was startled suddenly.
He suddenly thought of what the 'Five Elements Old Man' said when he handed him the bead—Accept this karma, let me see your limit.
"Karma... could it be referring to this."
Jiang Ye's heart jumped suddenly.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the waves in his heart, and asked with a normal expression: "True Disciple Zheng, then... what happened after they found the ruins?"
"This is the big news I want to tell you."
Zheng Feng showed an incredible look on his face, and his voice trembled slightly:
"I... I heard..."
"The ruins of the previous dynasty in Tai'an Mountain..."
"Disappeared!!!"
"Ah???" Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then asked incredulously: "Such a big ruin, disappeared???"
Zheng Feng nodded and said: "Yes, I also felt incredible when I heard this news... but thinking about it later, I felt it was not impossible."
"Think about it..."
"That 'Five Elements Old Man' could make us fall into an illusion all at once."
"And then a gust of wind blew us all out of the ruins..."
"Such means can be called a miracle."
Jiang Ye nodded thoughtfully.
The means of that 'Five Elements Old Man' were truly unimaginable and not something he could fathom.
He was even more interested in the bead that the Five Elements Old Man handed to him.
The "Five Elements Spirit-Seizing Chaos True Explanation" in that bead might be able to solve some of the mysteries about the 'Five Elements Old Man'.
Afterward, the two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
Jiang Ye coughed softly and started: "True Disciple Zheng, I don't know if your contribution points are abundant. I want to shamelessly borrow some..."
"Elder Jiang, after this mission, I got 40,000 contribution points. I spent 10,000 exchanging for pills a few days ago, and I have 30,000 left. If you need them urgently, you can borrow them all first."
Hearing that Jiang Ye wanted to borrow contribution points, Zheng Feng very readily handed his True Disciple token to Jiang Ye.
"This old man thanks True Disciple Zheng! It is indeed urgent..."
Jiang Ye smiled and took Zheng Feng's token, sighing secretly in his heart.
He didn't expect Zheng Feng to be so straightforward, borrowing all his contribution points without even blinking.
He remembered this friendship.
In this way, he now had 50,000 contribution points, and he was still 10,000 short to exchange for two Qi-Nurturing Methods.
"For the other 10,000, I'll look for that little girl Wen Yueyao."
Jiang Ye pondered in his heart.
That girl is also a straightforward person; if she has contribution points, she will definitely lend them.
After Zheng Feng took his leave, Jiang Ye didn't delay any longer, asked about the location of Wen Yueyao's True Disciple courtyard, and walked along the mountain path at a leisurely pace.
On Tianyangfeng, the courtyards of True Disciples were located in a quiet place on the mountainside, surrounded by pines and cypresses, with a quiet environment, completely different from the residences of ordinary disciples.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Jiang Ye felt a wave of heat rushing toward him.
"What is in here..."
Jiang Ye immediately opened his Fire Eyes to take a look.
The next instant.
"Ah this..."
Jiang Ye's old face turned red immediately. ===== CHAPTER 131 =====
