Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123: Human Sentints
Green Hill, Scripture Pavilion.
On the stairs leading to the fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, a little girl in a small red jacket, dragging a fluffy tail behind her, carried a lunch box and hopped up the steps with excitent.
“Ah ya!”
As a result, she underestimated the weight of the lunch box in her hands, lost her balance instantly, and involuntarily plunged towards the floor ahead.
The little girl instinctively closed her eyes, but the awkward crash she anticipated didn’t occur; an invisible force steadied her, preventing a tragedy.
A few steps away, Wang Chen, who was seated on the floor with a Taoist Scripture in hand, looked up curiously and asked, “Little Bell, why are you delivering the al today again?”
The little girl steadied herself, her face flushed and puffed with irritation as she said, “Sister Feifei is slacking off again. She’s the best at bullying us kids. When you see her next ti, you must teach her a good lesson!”
After a pause, she added, “Just a little lesson will do.”
“Alright then.”
Wang Chen smiled, took the lunch box with a chuckle, “You’ve worked hard. Let give you a gift.”
“Really?”
Little Bell’s eyes imdiately shone with excitent.
She knew that Wang Chen was an Upper Immortal from the outside world, had a very good relationship with Sister Jiaojiao, and was even favored by the Holy Queen, allowing him to enter the Scripture Pavilion to read the Taoist Scriptures.
Such a person must be a Power Man, and his gifts would not be stingy.
The little girl was filled with anticipation.
And Wang Chen did not disappoint her; he presented her with a puppet bird.
This puppet bird was a practice creation of Wang Chen, made from scrap materials. Although it was not very valuable, it had reached the quality level of a Magical Treasure.
What was most important was that it looked lifelike, just like a real bird. Not only was it beautiful and agile in appearance, but it also possessed significant intelligence, capable of performing various low-tier spells. While its power wasn’t great, it was extrely amusing.
Little Bell was overjoyed the mont she got her hands on it, her eyebrows and eyes beaming with uncontrollable delight.
Wang Chen taught the little girl a simple thod to bond with the puppet, then let her go off to play on her own.
After finishing the still-steaming immortal al, Wang Chen continued to imrse himself in the ocean of knowledge.
Three days ago, after a brief reunion with Hu Jiaojiao, he tentatively asked the Fox Empress if he could browse the Scripture Pavilion.
Last ti, Wang Chen had read a great deal of Taoist Scriptures in the Green Hill’s Scripture Pavilion and reaped imnse benefits.
Now, having stepped into the Nascent Soul realm, he found himself severely lacking knowledge of this particular tier and hoped to draw nourishnt from this place.
Unexpectedly, the Fox Empress agreed readily and even opened up the fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion for him to read the Taoist Scriptures.
For the past three days, Wang Chen had been relentless, devoting all his ti and energy to study.
The fourth-tier Taoist Scriptures are not sothing that can simply be morized; each book contains the essence of laws, which require understanding of that tier and the capacity to grasp the mysteries within, in order to truly imprint the contents in one’s Sea of Consciousness.
This ans that attempting to learn by crude rote morization wouldn’t work – the material would soon be forgotten after one reads it!
The Fox Empress was clearly aware of this, and she gave Wang Chen one month’s ti.
Normally, if Wang Chen could comprehend one or two fourth-tier Taoist Scriptures, it would be deed very successful.
Due to his low starting point and the high difficulty of comprehension, Wang Chen first browsed through hundreds of scriptures, then selected the one that best suited him to study.
The Taoist Scripture he was currently reading was called the “Mysterious Nascent Soul To,” a book elucidating the mysteries of the Nascent Soul, tantamount to an entry-level prir for the Nascent Soul Rank.
And it was precisely this introductory scripture that truly ushered Wang Chen into the fourth-tier realm.
Through the explanations in the “Mysterious Nascent Soul To,” he gained a deeper comprehension of his own Cultivation Realm.
As the saying goes, “Nine Grades of Golden Cores, seven hues in a Nascent Soul”; for the first ti upon introspection, Wang Chen saw his Nascent Soul dwelling within the Qi Sea Dantian radiating a purple hue with a hint of blue. Although its rank was extrely high, it had not reached the most perfect level.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet; with red Nascent Souls being the lowest and violet Nascent Souls the highest, according to the standards of the ‘Mysterious Nascent Soul To’, Wang Chen’s Nascent Soul has reached the highest violet tier, but it still has its flaws.
Of course, these flaws can be eliminated and compensated for through prolonged refinent!
Such knowledge is not available to Loose Cultivators and is usually a closely guarded secret of major Sect powerhouses.
Which is why the Fox Empress of Green Hill didn’t mind Wang Chen freely learning and comprehending; after all, the cultivation practices of the Monster Race differ greatly from those of humans.
This also reflected the strength of Green Hill!
Ti flies, and in the blink of an eye, the one month period has passed.
Wang Chen had no choice but to leave the Scripture Pavilion and bid farewell to the Fox Empress.
Throughout the month, he delved into a total of four Taoist Scriptures, including the ‘Mysterious Nascent Soul To’ as well as the ‘Tianfang Sword Articulation’, ‘Five Elents Prir’, and ‘Qin Dunjia’.
The ‘Tianfang Sword Articulation’ is a fourth-tier sword scripture, teaching Nascent Soul level sword techniques and mysteries, while the ‘Five Elents Prir’ deals with the ways of the five elents spells, also at a fourth-tier level.
As for ‘Qin Dunjia’, it includes various side school and unusual techniques and tricks!
The four Taoist Scriptures Wang Chen ticulously selected from hundreds of tos all fit his needs perfectly, and if he could fully comprehend them all, then his strength and combat abilities would surely leap to a new tier.
Despite the reluctance to part, Wang Chen was very satisfied with his gains.
It’s just that he now owes the Fox Empress a significant favor.
“No worries…”
Upon leaving, the Fox Empress said with a smile: “You can owe that favor for now; there will certainly co a ti when you’ll need to repay it.”
For a cultivator as exceptionally talented as Wang Chen, as long as he doesn’t fall unexpectedly, achieving Divinity Transformation and Integration in the future is within reach.
The value of this favor will only grow more precious over ti!
The Fox Empress would never make a losing deal.
Wang Chen nodded: “Senior, we will et again in the future.”
He made a twenty-year pact with Hu Jiaojiao, who wouldn’t et with him again during that ti and would instead focus on breaking through to the Monster King Realm within the Green Hill Secret Realm.
The next visit to Green Hill will probably be in twenty years.
After bidding farewell to the Fox Empress, Wang Chen returned to the Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion.
No sooner had he stepped into the Immortal Mansion when Bai Susu caught him: “How many Spirit Stones did you bring back?”
“Uh…”
Wang Chen was at a loss for words—he hadn’t brought back a single Spirit Stone!
“Hm?”
Bai Susu suddenly sniffed, frowned, and said: “That’s not right, you have the scent of fox on you, have you been running off with a fox spirit these past days?”
Wang Chen: “…”
She could sll that?
Bai Susu gave him a glare and said: “I don’t care about you chasing fox spirits, but we’re almost out of provisions at ho. As the man of the house, do you feel no sha returning empty-handed?”
Wang Chen was truly torn between laughter and tears.
He felt like Bai Susu was the matron of the house, and he was the unfaithful husband fluttering outside flags of red.
Despite his actions being proper, there was always an inexplicable guilt.
