Chapter 105: Demon Eye Silver Bear

Li Yunniang could feel the pent-up frustration in her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe. “Little Miss, do you really treat him as your fiancé? You want to waste your life for him? In the Cloud World there are so many handsome guys. Even in Pill Fountain Sect, the basic disciples are stronger than him! The cultivation technique that you are using needs to control Yin and Yang. If you marry this piece of trash, are you going to give up on it? You love refining pills, but if your cultivation stops, how will you be able to refine those pills you desire?”

Xuanyuan Yiren was startled, but she shook her head with certainty, “Sister Yunniang, I know you want the best for me. But in this world, everyone is different. Maybe other girls wouldn’t hesitate to give up on this marriage, but I pay a lot of attention to righteousness and trust. I love those handsome talents, I also dream of people wearing golden armor, legs stepping on Seven Colored Clouds to marry me. I would also like to refine all the pills recorded in the sect and see what the peak of the world is like. But if you flip my name over, it means righteousness. I remember when I was young, my father told me not to go against that. I have always kept it to heart, and don’t dare to forget it…”

Li Yunniang not only felt her head hurt, her face was twitching. She thought to herself, Old Master, why didn’t you think about the future when you taught your daughter? Will you regret these words that you said?

“Little Miss, it is important to be a trustable and righteous person… but you don’t owe that Zong Shou anything, so why do you want to waste your life?”

“How do I not owe him anything? My father was able to rise up in Donglin Cloud Continent because of Uncle Weiran’s help. If not for my father’s position, how was I able to go to the Pill Fountain Sect? Even if I don’t owe him anything, to leave him now when he’s in danger is just striking him when he’s down!”

When Xuanyuan Yiren said that her brow furrowed, “Father taught me to be kind and righteous, he himself has forgotten about the fifteen years of help Uncle gave him. Our Xuan Mountain City was able to come about because of Uncle Weiran. What is so important that knowing his best friend’s son is in danger, to turn a blind eye?”

Li Yunniang tasted bitterness, feeling powerless. The millions of people in Xuan Mountain City, the life and death of a race compared to the life of his best friend’s son, it was such an easy decision to make.

If he sacrificed the lives of millions just because of this invincible and indiscernible righteousness, wouldn’t he be going against the meaning of the word instead?

To be able to protect himself, knowing when to give some things up, to do what was needed, was what made one a truly great City Lord!

“I know what my Father is considering, and I don’t plan on forcing him. But the kindness that he has forgotten, let me remember it for him. Let me, Xuanyuan Yiren, take care of my fiancé!”

Xuanyuan Yiren’s tone changed, she said really seriously, “He is a Dual Meridian Body, but with the Meridian Spirit Pill from today, there is some hope to cure it. I’m good at pill refining and one day I will find a way to help him cultivate!”

“Will that take ten years or twenty years?” Li Yunniang laughed coldly, “Even if you were to succeed, that Zong Shou will most probably hate you. What these man hate most is being protected by women. Not only will they not be grateful, they would even treat it as humiliation. Even if he himself doesn’t think so, would he be able to stop the words of others? No matter how good his personality is, being gossiped about so much by others, it is unavoidable for him to have some heart knots…”

Xuanyuan Yiren blinked her eyes curiously, following which they shone as she looked at Li Yunniang, “Sister Yunniang, before you help people do you care what they think or what they would give you back before you help? I don’t care how people will treat me or view me. I just need to take good care of him!”

Li Yunniang instantly felt powerless as she looked at the expression of her Young Master, and a sort of shame filled her. Knowing that all kinds of persuasion would be useless, she sighed, “Forget it! Since Little Miss wants to do this, there is nothing I can do. I swore to follow you with my life, so let me go crazy together with you. I only hope that Little Miss don’t regret for this!”

“I chose my own path, so why would I regret it? He isn’t as bad as Sister Yunniang said. After being scolded by me, he could suppress his emotions to learn humbly. He is a calm and humble person who desires to learn more…”

Xuanyuan Yiren made a hand-sign and the nine red wood pillars rose into the air, reducing to finger-sized and then flew into her hands.

She thought back to how Zong Shou didn’t enter the room after she began pill-making, and helplessness flashed across her eyes. He was calm and humble but he might not desire to learn.

She asked curiously, “Sister Yunniang, you said that Zong Shou didn’t want to follow you in. So where did he go for the entire afternoon?”

Li Yunniang’s eyes flashed darkly, but it disappeared quickly. “I don’t know what happened specifically, but I only heard he went to a tea house and bought a Grade one spiritual sword for ten thousand Grade Three beast crystals. As for what happened next I am unsure. However, I heard that his Cousin Zong Ling was there and he was furious…”

“Ten thousand Grade Three beast crystals for a Grade one spiritual sword?”

Xuanyuan Yiren’s hands were trembling slightly as she took in a cold breath. The nine spiritual flames in her hands nearly exploded.

——

After eating the Meridian Spirit Pill and using blood to sacrifice to the sword, it took Zong Shou two days to recover his energy.

He recovered so quickly because he had the essence of the Lightning Phoenix egg in his body. If it was others, without ten years it would be impossible to get off the bed.

In those two days, Zong Shou either drew talismans or remodeled formations in his room.

The former was to familiarize himself with talisman techniques and also draw some talismans for future use. The latter wasn’t for pill refining, but for other uses.

As for that furnace, after the Meridian Spirit Pill was refined, he threw it into the trash.

His days were really carefree, no one coming over to disturb him. He had separated himself from all impending danger, often giving him the misconception that he had returned to his last life, to the peaceful and quiet times.

Sometimes he would be filled with emotions, that actually it was not bad if he could just continue living within this courtyard.

However, it was only an illusion. If he truly had such thoughts, he wouldn’t be far away from death.

While he drew talismans and formations, he spent some time teaching Xue’er. That was simple, just asking her to go catch sparrows.

Otherwise, he trained in the sword. Every day in his room, bundles of black sword light randomly danced around.

Not only could they strengthen the spirituality of the sword, they also improved his control over this Black Wave Sword. They helped familiarize him with the Spirit Master Instrument Driving Technique.

There was the blood seal that he had left on the body of the sword. Even tens of thousands of feet away, he could control it freely. In just several hours, his control of it reached a high level, and he could even split some of his focus to draw talismans.

—

After two days of training, Zong Shou didn’t feel satisfied.

“This sword driving in the skies is really indiscernible and unexpected, its speed is ever changing and can help to kill people from far away. However, its strength is a little too weak, unable to add martial arts intent, and can only use the spiritual sword itself to harm people. It is okay to bully those lower-ranked martial cultivators, but for Xiantians it is useless. No wonder those Out of Body spirit masters pay more attention to hammers and rope-like Spiritual Weapons, either their attack strength was shocking or they had other uses..”

He thought about those cultivators among spirit masters who focused a sword, and his heart was filled with envy.

“Those sword cultivators used their body as a sword, as their second soul. Their sword was like their body, able to instill sword intent. Unfortunately, I have no way to learn this second soul method, unless I find a legendary sword. Once I train it up, I will be able to shock the Cloud World!”

With his current situation, it was impossible to find any good sword. To use this Black Wave Sword as his second soul was also asking for his own death.

Instilling martial arts intent into this Black Wave Sword to fight against martial cultivators, one had to send the soul out of body, using the soul to control the sword.

With his achievements in sword techniques in his last life, with a sword at hand he was confident of being invincible under the Martial Ancestor level! However, that would mean a high requirement for a Protector Spirit Beast…

“The Rising Moon Lion is good at hiding and travelling quickly, killing people in one blow. If it protected me, it would be wasting its talent. Although Little Gold is good,it hasn’t grown up. If I use the soul to control the sword, I have to to search for another Protector Spirit Beast…”

After the energy within his body recovered, Zong Shou rested up for one more day. He waited for the third day and finally felt full of energy. All the formations and talismans he needed were also completed.

——

He lit up two candles on the incense table, forming a simple altar, and placed a few yellow talismans onto the table. His expression turned serious, taking out the silver beast crystal that he had obtained from Zu Renkuang.

The bear-type spirit beast within was a Grade Five Protector Spirit Beast. In actuality it was above Grade Six, and was far from what an Out of Body spirit master could tame.

The reason why he had such confidence was because Zong Shou had seen a talisman formation in the library in his last life. It could temporarily seal a portion of this spirit beast and forcefully lower it by a Grade. However, the entire process was really risky.

If it was before he had obtained the Black Wave Sword, Zong Shou definitely wouldn’t take the risk. However, at this time he didn’t hesitate at all, tossing the beast crystal towards the table;. While it was in mid air, two runes ignited off the candle and chased after it.

A ball of fire instantly wrapped up that beast crystal. In the next moment, large amounts of green smoke seeped out. When it gathered up, a sixty-foot tall giant bear appeared in front of Zong Shou. Luckily his room was big enough and built of giant wood, the ceiling eighty feet tall so the bear didn’t break apart the roof!
