Chapter 84: Li Guang and the Divine Marquis
“Dean Liu, I have set a development goal for you: cultivate the students’ consciousness of earning money from a young age, so they never become poor wretches when they grow up.” Jiang Taixuan posted a message, calling out to Liu Qingming.
Liu Qingming’s reply was simple: “……”
“Dean Liu, I suggest you invite a great calligraphy master to write ‘Earn money! Earn money! Must earn money!’ and post it inside the academy.” Jiang Taixuan said seriously.
Liu Qingming directly did not respond. This Field Master only thought about money.
Yang Ziling and Yang Jin left the dojo and headed for Clear Moon City.
“This Field Master, really…” Yang Jin let out a bitter laugh, not knowing how to evaluate him.
“If you say he loves money, he once lent out a low-tier powerful expert to slay a Dao Fruit and save Clear Moon City from crisis. If you say he doesn’t love money, now he seems to wish the whole city would earn money for him.” Yang Ziling gave a light laugh and said, “But it’s fine. As long as we maintain a good relationship with him, we might just achieve our great undertaking.”
“Indeed, the people here all possess extraordinary talents. Especially since Divine Blood, Divine Body, and Divine Art can be sold. Their backgrounds are probably unfathomable.” Yang Jin said.
“I just fear they are fake.” Yang Ziling shook her head and sighed lightly. “The True Void Realm is so vast, but since ancient times, how many Divine Bloods and Divine Bodies have appeared? Divine Art fragments have appeared and survived, but maybe these are just facades.”
“Then why did Miss buy so many things?” Yang Jin did not understand.
“The Divine Devil Dojo has been operating for some time now. Even if they are not real, they are still some treasures, worth the price.” Yang Ziling said, then paused before continuing, “Today is a good time to take the God-Demon Pill to temper my physique. I will share two strands of the four strands of Innate Spiritual Energy with you.”
“Thank you, Miss.” Yang Jin quickly received the two jade bottles, which contained the Innate Spiritual Energy.
“Later, go deal with the death scene of the new city lord. The Divine Devil Dojo is too arrogant. They kill and leave the name of the dojo, as if they really aren’t afraid others won’t know it was them.” Yang Ziling sighed lightly and instructed.
She had also investigated the Divine Devil Dojo and was extremely shocked by their method of killing.
After killing someone, they leave a message: It was our Divine Devil Dojo who did it!
What does this mean? Asking for retaliation? Or are they not afraid of death?
“Yes.” Yang Jin replied respectfully.
After Yang Ziling left, Jiang Taixuan counted his gains. He now had over 3,500 Yuan Coins. Although he still couldn’t buy anything particularly good, as long as more clients like Yang Ziling came, he believed he would get rich quickly.
Clear Moon City must be developed; this was his base. He just didn’t know when the imperial edict for the City Lord would arrive, allowing Wang Yuan to securely take the City Lord position, and hopefully bring some resources to help this new City Lord develop.
Ximen the Fatty rolled back to cultivate. Jiang Taixuan entered the dojo; it was time to collect his free snack again.
“In the future, for the free snack, I’ll take the Divine Blood Pill. I’ll use the money I earn to buy God-Demon Pills.” Jiang Taixuan thought to himself.
He took out a Divine Blood Pill. It was still very large. Jiang Taixuan swallowed it in two bites.
A massive medicinal power entered his body. Blood beads actually seeped out from Jiang Taixuan’s skin. The medicinal power flowed inside, his blood flow speed increased, and drop after drop of scarlet blood flowed out from the pores on his body surface.
Blood Tempering!
The Divine Blood Pill tempered the blood, expelled impurities, continuously refined and strengthened the blood, aiming to achieve a powerful and pure bloodline power.
During the blood tempering, with his middle Innate Realm cultivation suppressing the medicinal power, there was no pain. Instead, he could clearly feel the impurities in his blood being expelled and continuous changes occurring.
Soon, the blood tempering was complete. Jiang Taixuan freshened up, feeling comfortable all over. “I feel my perception of the world’s Primeval Qi has strengthened a bit more.”
After contemplating the changes in his body for a while, Jiang Taixuan climbed onto the hammock and gazed at the sky.
Time passed. Late at night, just as Jiang Taixuan was getting drowsy, the System’s voice came.
“Ding. Domination of Clear Moon City completed. Reward: Divine Dao Fruit from the Ancestral Divine Demon Scripture, Divine Power chapter. Special-grade wind-attribute Divine Level Sword Art, Wind Sword Seven Styles.”
An arcane aura poured into his body. In his shock, Jiang Taixuan discovered seven sword moves appeared in his mind. Each move had the power to destroy the heavens and earth, or cut down stars.
“It’s completed already? It seems I don’t need to clear out the Demon Beasts. The System still has some conscience. But, this sword art?” Jiang Taixuan looked puzzled and asked, “System, what does ‘special-grade’ mean?”
“Ding. Special-grade means it can evolve. The lowest grade is Divine Level, with no upper limit.” The System replied.
“So, you mean, if my cultivation isn’t sufficient, this is just a low-level Divine Level sword art. But if I can surpass low-level Divine Level, the power of this Wind Sword Seven Styles can exceed low-level Divine Level?” Jiang Taixuan asked joyfully.
“Yes, Host.”
“System, I find you still have some conscience.” Jiang Taixuan said delightedly.
Li Guang returned, covered in blood. He directly sought out Jiang Taixuan. “Field Master, I’ll collect my snack later. I need to see Divine Marquis first.”
“Okay.” Jiang Taixuan nodded, then asked curiously, “What do you need Divine Marquis for?”
Li Guang didn’t answer. He strode into the Herb Field. His indifferent expression disappeared, replaced by an icy coldness. “Divine Marquis, you owe me an explanation. You clearly had the ability to resolve the Clear Moon City crisis alone. Why did you have the Field Master interrupt my breakthrough?”
Jiang Taixuan, who had followed, was slightly stunned. What was this situation? Divine Marquis Zhuge could have resolved it alone? Then why did he say there was no way?
“Field Master, Arrow God. It seems Arrow God has stabilized his state of mind and his boiling bloodline.” A green light flashed. Divine Marquis Zhuge fell from the tree, waving his feather fan. “Arrow God, this is an opportunity. Don’t you want to seize it?”
“What do you mean?” Li Guang’s expression remained icy. His Green Bow gleamed, as if ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.
“Grade.” Divine Marquis Zhuge’s expression turned serious. “Li Guang, you are the strongest. Plus, having your breakthrough interrupted, all your previous accumulations have poured into your Divine Demon Origin, tempering it. Furthermore, you are still in the Juvenile Stage; nothing is fully set yet. There’s a high chance for a re-forging.”
“Be more detailed.” Li Guang frowned.
“Mid-Rank Divine Demon!” Divine Marquis Zhuge’s eyes flashed with golden light. “Why not gamble? Break the constraints, elevate your own grade. If we slowly improve using God-Demon Pills and Divine Blood Pills, even when we all mature, we cannot evolve into Mid-Rank Divine Demons.”
“What method do you have?” Li Guang felt somewhat tempted. A Low-Rank Divine Demon, even at full maturity, is only a low-level Deity. Future progress would require a massive amount of God-Demon Pills and Divine Blood Pills.
If he could advance to Mid-Rank Divine Demon, Li Guang would be willing even if it meant one failed breakthrough, or even having his realm lowered!
“Seven Stars Reverse Destiny. Back then, Liang’s Seven Stars Reverse Destiny failed. This time, with the protection of the dojo, the success rate is as high as seventy percent!” Divine Marquis Zhuge said confidently.
“Why me?” Li Guang asked again.
“Currently, within the dojo, only you have the capability.” Divine Marquis Zhuge sighed slightly. “You are already at the limit of Foundation Establishment, and your combat power is stronger than ours. When the time comes, with the dojo’s protection, fighting against Tian, there will be a sliver of possibility for success.”
Then, Divine Marquis Zhuge continued, “Most importantly, upon stepping into the Dao Fruit realm, rule patterns will be inscribed, making Reverse Destiny even more difficult. Liang has no confidence at all. Moreover, when Liang performs Seven Stars Reverse Destiny, it will cost Primordial Source. That’s why I had to choose you, the one with the greatest chance.”
For the Dao Fruit realm, Foundation Establishment Warriors solidify their Primordial Energy. The Dao Fruit carves rule patterns onto the solidified Primordial Energy, thereby harmonizing with the world, manipulating the world’s Primeval Qi, and nurturing Divine Powers.
Such Warriors can walk on air, move mountains and drain seas, manipulate the world’s Primeval Qi; they are truly fearsome.
As for Gods and Demons, they are even more terrifying. Once they break through to Dao Fruit, not only will rule patterns be inscribed in their dantian, but rule patterns will also form within their bodies. Their entire being harmonizes with the world. If they attempt Reverse Destiny, stirring the world and causing the rule patterns to fluctuate, if they cannot suppress it, Divine Marquis Zhuge has not the slightest confidence.
“So, you are using me as an experiment?” Li Guang’s gaze turned even colder.
“Yes, and no. If you directly broke through to Dao Fruit, Liang would also attempt Reverse Destiny later, but on myself.” Divine Marquis Zhuge said, then paused and added, “Doesn’t Arrow God want to take a gamble? If you succeed, you break the constraints. If you fail, with the great accumulation from this time, you can still charge into a higher realm. You don’t lose anything.”
Li Guang fell silent. He withdrew his Green Bow, then a look of determination appeared. “Fine. I’ll listen to Divine Marquis this once. But next time, if there is such a matter, please discuss it with me.”
“That’s only natural.” Divine Marquis Zhuge said with a slight smile.
“Wait, what is going on?”
