Chapter 64: Jun Tianling, You're Sabotaging Me Again!!

~8 min read 1,470 words

"Ahem." Jiang Xun coughed dryly twice and took out a medicinal pill: "Then tell Senior Sister I came to see her. This is a Nourishing Origin Pill; it can help her stabilize her internal Qi after breaking through. Please give it to her for me."

"Understood."

Li Mengqiu nodded and accepted the Nourishing Origin Pill.

"Mengqiu, you..."

"Ahem."

Jiang Xun was just intending to tease Li Mengqiu, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Yu Yan cough.

Jiang Xun was so startled he immediately turned around and ran.

"Giggle giggle giggle..."

Seeing this, Li Mengqiu also covered her mouth, unable to hold back her laughter.

"Mengqiu, give the Nourishing Origin Pill to me."

After Jiang Xun left, Yu Yan's voice came from inside the room.

"Alright, coming."

Li Mengqiu nodded and walked quickly into the room.

【Ding, Nourishing Origin Pill gifted successfully!】

【Obtained: Nourishing Spirit Pill!】

【Effect: Nourishes the soul after consumption.】

Seeing the returned item, Jiang Xun did not hesitate; he took it out and swallowed it in one gulp.

After all, a stronger soul is never a bad thing.

"What are you fussing about so early in the morning?"

Watching Jiang Xun running back and forth, Jun Tianling couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing to do, just strolling around."

Jiang Xun couldn't exactly tell her he was cashing in rewards.

"If you have nothing to do, can't you practice? Have you learned the Crimson Wings yet?"

Jun Tianling said this in a daze, but once she finished, she sobered up and was immediately filled with regret.

"I thought you weren't willing to teach me anymore; I was even feeling embarrassed!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun immediately found a spot, sat down cross-legged, set up a Barrier, and dove into the Liu Hong Sword.

Jun Tianling's face turned black as she stared wide-eyed at Jiang Xun.

Then she sighed.

"I have truly done all I can. I will teach you one last time; if you still can't learn it, there is nothing I can do to help."

Jun Tianling said, looking at Jiang Xun as if resigning herself to fate.

"Fine."

Jiang Xun also nodded, indicating he understood.

"I will explain what I said yesterday in plain language. The Crimson Wings are formed from condensed blood; it is a technique I created myself based on the second level of the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging."

"Change the blood output point from your hands to your shoulder blades on your back."

As she spoke, Jun Tianling came behind Jiang Xun and poked his shoulder blades with two fingers.

Because both were souls, they could make contact.

"The blood output point is here." Jun Tianling tapped her finger just below the shoulder blade: "It emerges from here. Circulate the second level of the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging and picture the shape of wings in your mind. Try it first; get the wings to take shape."

"If you had taught me like this yesterday, I would have learned it long ago."

Jiang Xun glanced at Jun Tianling and said.

"Go to hell."

Jun Tianling slapped Jiang Xun on the head. She really didn't want to have any physical contact with Jiang Xun, but there was truly no other way.

Jiang Xun rolled his eyes, said nothing more, and began to circulate the second level of the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the flow of blood, and began to condense it below his shoulder blades.

When he felt there was enough blood to form wings, Jiang Xun channeled his power, letting the blood begin to emerge from below his shoulder blades.

This blood did not damage his clothes; it was like individual molecules passing through the tiny spaces between the fabric, beginning to form behind Jiang Xun's back.

A moment later, a pair of blood wings about a meter long appeared behind Jiang Xun.

According to Jiang Xun's imagination, this pair of wings could change at will, and then be solidified using the second level of the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging.

"Can I continue to use the third level to harden them?"

Jiang Xun asked, looking at the wings.

"You can. The Crimson Wings are used for fast flight, pursuing, or escaping. Once hardened, they are called Black Feather Wings, used for offense or defense."

Jun Tianling nodded: "Try flying first. It's similar to Wind Control, but the difference is you must use the wings to control the wind and ride it."

"Alright, I'll try."

Jiang Xun nodded and closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, he had returned to his body.

After dispelling the Barrier, Jiang Xun manifested the Crimson Wings and leaped off the cliff!

"It's that simple?"

Jiang Xun felt himself flying and was surprised.

"Heh."

Jun Tianling sneered.

The next moment, Jiang Xun plummeted down the cliff.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He hurriedly attempted Wind Control.

But with the Crimson Wings on his back, Jiang Xun was unable to perform Wind Control normally, and he fell straight down.

Thud!

He slammed heavily into the ground.

"Ugh... my waist, my poor old waist... you damn bastard, you set me up again..."

Jiang Xun, face-down on the ground, reached back to clutch his old waist and wailed in pain.

"I told you, you have to use the wings for Wind Control, not yourself. You didn't listen, so you deserve to fall to your death."

Jun Tianling watched Jiang Xun fall until he was dazed and confused, and said with a happy expression.

"Damn it, it hurts like hell."

Jiang Xun shakily supported himself against a nearby tree and stood up.

"You didn't tell me how to use the wings for Wind Control."

"... Big brother, I'm truly impressed. It's the same as Wind Control; you manipulate the surrounding Spirit Power, gathering the airflow beneath or around your body to form an upward lifting force. You know this, right? After all, you can do it."

"I know." Jiang Xun nodded.

"Using the wings for Wind Control just means focusing that lifting force onto the wings. Can't you be a bit more flexible with your brain?"

Jun Tianling said, speechless.

"Uh..."

Jiang Xun nodded upon hearing this.

Then he began to try again.

Following the method Jun Tianling described, he applied the lifting force to the wings and then jumped; the wings caught the wind and flew high into the sky. This time, he succeeded.

Jiang Xun soared straight into the clouds.

"Use your internal energy to flap the wings to increase speed. If you want to go right, flap the left wing; if you want to go left, flap the right wing. Lean your body upward to fly higher, and sink your body to go lower. With long-term practice, make these wings a part of your own body, and only then can your speed reach its peak."

Jun Tianling watched Jiang Xun successfully take flight and added.

"Got it."

Jiang Xun nodded and began trying to get used to the wings.

It was the same as always; once he learned something, Jiang Xun's talent appeared monstrously strange.

It took him only the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to fully master the Crimson Wings.

Just as Jun Tianling said, these Crimson Wings were indeed a sharp tool for escaping and pursuing.

With a single thought, the wings flapped, and in the blink of an eye, he was ten miles away.

In ten seconds, he could fly over a hundred miles away.

For an average cultivator, flying at full speed, they would only cover ten to fifteen miles in ten seconds.

(The 'mile' mentioned here is one kilometer, one thousand meters.)

"Sure enough, as long as you learn it, you can fully master how to use it. When I first used the Crimson Wings, it took me three days to fully master them."

Jun Tianling said as he watched Jiang Xun flying wantonly in the sky.

"Is that so? That's why I'm actually a genius."

Jiang Xun nodded and laughed.

"Is that right? The Crimson Wings consume a massive amount of Spirit Power, so you can't fly for long. Does the genius not know that his Spirit Power is about to run out?"

Jun Tianling laughed softly.

"Hm?"

Jiang Xun was stunned upon hearing this. He suddenly felt that his entire body was devoid of Spirit Power, the wings vanished, and his whole person hung suspended in the air for three seconds, followed by...

"Ah!!! Ten thousand meters in the air! Jun Tianling! You damn bastard, you set me up again!!!"

At ten thousand meters in the air, Jiang Xun's screams echoed, but his figure was nowhere to be seen.

He was already plummeting toward the ground at an extreme speed; falling from this height, he would surely be reduced to a pulp of meat.
