Chapter 717 - 365: Seventh Realm Divinity Opening (Part 2)

"Brother Ji, I have a younger sister..."

"Sister? Old Ba, you’ve lived over six hundred years, haven’t you? How old is your sister? Five hundred? Four hundred?"

"Chu Ming is only twenty years old, not even that!"

Wuding Sheng seized the opportunity to retort.

"It’s better than you messing up the generations!"

"Brother Ji and I speak in our own contexts! Yours is purely an old bull grazing on young grass!"

Both wanted to ally with the future Seventh Realm of the Cyan Simurgh Marquis’ Mansion. Seeing the argument continuing endlessly, Baihong Nanyou, standing beside them, spoke with a somewhat serious expression:

"Brother Ji, did Chu Xiaoyou pass the Confucius Temple test?"

Ji Wujiang nodded lightly, his heart extremely pleased as he said, "He luckily passed."

"Fortunately?" Baman Mountain didn’t grasp the real meaning behind the word ’fortunate’ and, following the conversation, excitedly said:

"Sister Nanyou, let me tell you, you need to hurry up." Saying this, Baman Mountain’s gaze fell on the aloof Yin Fang beside him.

"Hurry up?" Baihong Nanyou suspected in her heart.

"Yes! Not only did Chu Xiaoyou pass the Confucius Temple test, but he was also accepted as a direct disciple by Xuanyuan Huikong, the temple priest of the Hanmo Confucius Temple!"

Baihong Nanyou raised her dark eyebrows: "Is that the Xuanyuan Huikong who single-handedly killed three Tier Eight exotic beasts of the Ghostly Sea?!"

"Yes, that’s the one!" Baman Mountain continued, "Xuanyuan Huikong has only accepted six direct disciples in the past, and all six entered the Literary Residence."

"Three are already at the Seventh Realm, and the sixth one also entered with the first place in the big competition of the Literary Residence."

"His first and second disciples have even reached the Eighth Realm!"

"And Chu Ming is the seventh direct disciple."

"One could say, he is destined to become a Seventh Realm in the future."

Baman Mountain spoke as excitedly as if talking about the younger generation of his Ba Kingdom.

Destined to become a Seventh Realm!

Yin Fang, standing beside Baihong Nanyou, felt shock wash over her aloof face as she listened.

"That’s not all," Wuding Sheng also wanted to feel the thrilling emotion, "Chu Xiaoyou also obtained a Cyan Simurgh Order."

Cyan Simurgh Order!

Baihong Nanyou’s heart shook.

"Among the Three Dukes and Nine Marquis of the Celestial Veil Kingdom, the Cyan Simurgh Marquis’ Mansion ranks among the top three of the Nine Marquis. The Cyan Simurgh Order is something countless people fight over. Chu Xiaoyou getting the Cyan Simurgh Order is equivalent to having the Cyan Simurgh Marquis’ Mansion as a backing!"

Baihong Nanyou’s expression changed unpredictably, then she occasionally glanced at Yin Fang, inwardly chiding herself for not having Yin Fang improve her attitude earlier.

"Yin Fang." She extended her right hand, revealing three white porcelain bottles in her palm, "Give these Nourishing Spirit Elixirs to your Master Chu."

"..." Yin Fang paused, the coldness on her face lessening a bit. She took the elixirs with both hands and headed into the mansion.

After Yin Fang left, Baihong Nanyou couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Brother Wuding, Brother Ba, could you tell me in detail?" She flipped her hand, producing fine wine and dishes.

"Haha, Nanyou indeed knows how to get things done."

The group moved to the hall, toasting each other repeatedly.

"What? Brother Ji encountered the Jin Yuntang of that Shun Kingdom?"

"Did he swindle a first-class spirit treasure from Jin Yuntang?!" Baihong Nanyou was greatly shocked.

"This person once ambushed us in the Ghostly Sea, severely wounding Brother Wuding and Sister Nanyou. This grievance has been unavenged for so long. Today, we finally got our revenge!" Baman Mountain drank joyfully.

"With a first-class spirit treasure lost, Jin Yuntang’s strength is surely weakened. If we meet him again in the Ghostly Sea, I will certainly take his life!" Wuding Sheng gripped his wine cup.

"Brother Ji, could you let me see that first-class spirit treasure..."

"..."

...

In the west courtyard, in front of the house.

"Senior Brother Chu." A cold voice called out from outside the house.

"What is it?"

Having just sat down not long ago and beginning to digest the fragments of the Book collection Lake in his Sea of Consciousness, Chu Ming responded with equal indifference.

"I’m Yin Fang, Master sent me to deliver Nourishing Spirit Elixirs to Senior Brother Chu." Yin Fang stood at the doorway.

"Just leave them outside."

Nourishing Spirit Elixirs are Tier Six elixirs and have a good effect on restoring the spirit, but to Chu Ming, they are just average.

In his Collection of Golden Books, there are no fewer than ten types of elixirs for spiritual recovery, and all are more effective than Nourishing Spirit Elixir.

"..." Yin Fang was evidently taken aback for a moment, seemingly not expecting to be turned away at the door, "Senior Brother Chu, the Nourishing Spirit Elixirs are Tier Six elixirs..."

There was no response from inside the house.

"..."

Yin Fang looked at the tightly closed door, her slender white fingers clenched tightly, then slowly relaxed.

It was her first time actively talking to a man, and yet she was refused entry, naturally a bit hard to accept.

But being a direct disciple of Baihong Nanyou, her temperament wasn’t too poor.

"Leaving them by the door."

She carefully placed the valuable Nourishing Spirit Elixirs at the doorstep, then turned to leave.

Inside the house.

Chu Ming’s eyes were slightly closed, his heart and spirit immersed in his Sea of Consciousness.

Over the Book collection Lake, countless fragments floated; these fragments were his gains from the third test in the Book Wall Space of the Hanmo Confucius Temple.

Thousands of books sent fragments falling into the lake at a speed far slower than the speed at which fragments were generated.

As of now, only half of the fragments had fallen into the lake, becoming part of the Book collection Lake.

And this half had already increased the size of the Book collection Lake by more than twice.

"When all have fallen, the Book collection Lake should be able to expand to three times its original size."

"Expanding three times more, its inference ability will also significantly improve..."

Cultivation Technique Inference... Martial Skill Improvement... Divine Power Understanding... Secret Technique Evolution...

As the book fragments fell like rain, most of Chu Ming’s heart and spirit were absorbed within.

Unknowingly, night had fallen.

All the book fragments finally fell into the Book collection Lake, their descent finished, but the Book collection Lake should have been calm.

However, at this time, the Book collection Lake continued to send ripples out from its center, one circle after another.

Not only the Book collection Lake, but the other three significant lakes also had ripples, echoing each other as if heralding the arrival of some event.

"Gurgle..."

Several elixirs automatically flew into Chu Ming’s mouth, then dissolved in his stomach, circulating throughout his body.
