Chapter 17: Extraordinary Genius
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Cangyuan Continent was split into four different regions: northern, southern, eastern, and western. More than 10 countries belonged to each region.
In order to discover and cultivate talents and experts as soon as possible, the predecessors had specially placed a spiritual clock in the middle of the four regions.
The gong in the clock only sounded on birth of an extraordinary talent. The number of times it sounded symbolized the number of stars the talent achieved.
For most people, having seven or eight stars was considered being a highly gifted person already.
In fact, there had never been a seven-star expert in all of the southern region’s history. A group of elders watched on with bright eyes, all hoping they could take this person in.
The eighth gong sounded and was cut off abruptly. There was no other information provided.
“What’s going on!?”
“Could the baby have been harmed the moment he was born?”
“That’s such a pity. It’s a genius with at least eight stars!”
The elders’ hearts ached terribly.
Jun Mohuang had no idea that she’d caused such a commotion. She slept very soundly, and only woke up at almost noon.
When looked at her palm, the mark of a golden flame appeared.
With the reconstruction of her meridians and abdominal point, she could finally cultivate her skills. The purest Gold-Swallowing Beast bloodline had been recovered as well, and she could now summon the Gold-Swallowing Fire.
As she did not have the spiritual essence in her body yet, the Gold-Swallowing Fire was only about as big as a soybean. There was even a strain of contaminants.
Besides that, her appearance had changed rather drastically too.
Jun Mohuang kept the fire, and retrieved a vanity mirror from Huangyu Space.
In the mirror was a beautiful woman with lush black hair and a fair, pretty face.
Her eyes were bright and clear like gemstones, and her nose bridge was high. Even her lips were plump and seductive.
Her face was pretty as a flower in full bloom, pure and tender but ever-captivating.
Jun Mohuang’s facial features were already beautiful to begin with. Only in the recent three years did she look a little less outstanding because of the lack of spiritual essence and nourishment as well as harsh treatment from the Jun Family. After the healing bath the previous day, everything was back to normal.
Great, she could start cultivating her skills and refining materials now. She even regained her original beauty. The pain from the previous night was worth it.
The only issue was that there was a shiny gold ingot that took up the entire space on her forehead.
The gold ingot was the symbol of someone who had inherited the Jun Family’s Gold-Swallowing Beast bloodline. The larger the ingot was on the forehead and the closer it was to the shade of pure gold, the greater the purity of that bloodline.
If it took up the whole forehead, it meant that the inherited bloodline was the purest possible.
If anyone else in the Jun Family had such a huge gold ingot on their foreheads, they’d be jumping for joy right now.
But Jun Mohuang couldn’t tolerate the look of it. It was so inelegant!
She retrieved an ointment from the Huangyu Space and applied it to her forehead. Only after the ingot was concealed did she feel better.
Since this was settled, and there was nothing else to deal with, it was about time to try cultivating her skills.
Jun Mohuang sat cross-legged on her bed. She closed her eyes and regulated her breathing as she focused her energy on the spiritual essence in the atmosphere.
Having sensed its presence, she inhaled it. This was the first step of cultivation that anyone in the Cangyuan Continent had to go through.
