Chapter 335
by fanqienovelChapter 335: I Am a True Spirit!
“You have mined a total of sixteen pieces of best Demon Spirit Ore, and since one of them is only half the size, I will count it as five pills. So, you owe me a total of one hundred fifty-five of those pills!”
“Give them to me now! Don’t think about shirking your responsibility!”
Xuanqing raised its head proudly, extending its claws from inside the turtle shell to demand its due!
Ji Yang’s expression changed slightly; he hadn’t expected this turtle to remember so well.
However, Ji Yang also had no intention of breaking his word. He immediately reached into his storage bag and took out one hundred sixty Yun Ling Dan, handing them over!
Seeing the Yun Ling Dan that Ji Yang produced, Xuanqing’s eyes lit up. This was the right flavor!
Once Xuanqing had the pills in its grasp, it still felt a bit uneasy and counted carefully!
“One, two… one hundred fifty-nine, one hundred sixty!”
After half a tea time, Xuanqing finally counted correctly. But looking at the extra five Yun Ling Dan, it glanced at Ji Yang warily and said:
“Why are there one hundred sixty pills?”
Ji Yang replied lightly:
“The extra five are a reward for keeping my secret. Don’t reveal my identity before we return to the sect.”
Compared to the rebellious Ren Yuning, it was much easier to handle the obedient Ren Yuning right now!
After hearing Ji Yang’s words, Xuanqing’s eyes shifted, and it extended another claw:
“No way! Let me keep it a secret and I want five more pills!”
“Just these five. Take them or leave them! I don’t have many of these pills left!”
Seeing Xuanqing raise the price, Ji Yang said without concern, clearly indicating he might take back the pills in its hand!
This made Xuanqing hurriedly stash all the pills into its turtle shell, then it began to complain:
“You don’t know how much I’ve suffered lately because of your Tribulation Crossing…”
“Alright, alright! Here, have another five!”
Listening to Xuanqing’s lament, Ji Yang pulled out five more Yun Ling Dan and tossed them over.
Xuanqing’s joy was evident as it caught them and patted its shell:
“Rest assured, I, Xuanqing, always keep my word!”
Hearing its explanation, Ji Yang was also somewhat surprised. He hadn’t realized that his Tribulation Crossing had affected this Xuanwu. It made sense now why, with Xuanwu’s tracking ability, it hadn’t come after him once it lost track.
“So, you’re saying you can’t use your power right now?”
“Humph! Once I refine the power of lightning calamity within me, I will definitely reach a higher level!”
“When will you be able to refine it?”
Xuanqing pondered for a moment:
“Probably in a few more years!”
Though it was a True Spirit, the power of lightning calamity was not an ordinary thing and wasn’t so easy to refine.
Ji Yang didn’t say anything more.
The arrival of this turtle could only be considered a surprise, but it didn’t help him much at the moment.
However, a voice from within the fixed-point object caught his attention:
“Kid, the Xuanwu clan is skilled at hiding their aura.”
Hearing this, Ji Yang fell into deep thought.
He wasn’t truly safe right now; it wouldn’t be long before the people from the Heavens Demon Sect would catch up. Figuring out how to hide was indeed a challenge, and the middle-aged man’s reminder stirred something in Ji Yang’s heart. He then asked the Xuanwu:
“Turtle, can you block the tracking of high-level cultivators?”
“Humph! I am a True Spirit Xuanwu. This is no small matter! But right now, I definitely can’t. Once I refine the power of lightning calamity, it will be no problem!”
“And call me Xuanwu!”
Xuanqing declared proudly.
“I’m not talking about ordinary cultivators; at the very least, I’m referring to high-level cultivators of the Void Refinement stage or Unity with the Dao.”
Xuanqing scoffed at this:
“What does that matter? As long as I want to hide, even a Great Ascension stage cultivator or someone at the Tribulation Crossing stage would never find me!”
After saying this, Xuanqing added:
“Of course, not right now. Once I refine the power of lightning calamity, it will be fine!”
Anyway, boasting didn’t cost anything. With the power of lightning calamity on its side, it felt even more confident than usual!
But just as Xuanqing was basking in its bragging, Ji Yang said beside it:
“Alright, I’ll help you refine the power of lightning calamity, and you help me hide.”
“Ah?”
Hearing this, Xuanqing’s expression turned blank, and it hurriedly responded:
“I don’t think that’s necessary. The power of lightning calamity is extraordinary. What if you get hurt? I can take my time to refine it! There’s no rush!”
“Were you just boasting?”
Ji Yang asked, half in disbelief.
Xuanqing puffed up its neck:
“Of course not! I’m a True Spirit! Xuanwu! Once I refine this power of lightning calamity, it will be a piece of cake!”
But after saying that, Xuanqing felt a hint of regret. The person in front of it could treat Tribulation Crossing like drinking water. What if Ji Yang really helped it refine the power?
“Alright, it’s settled then!”
Saying this, Ji Yang didn’t give Xuanqing a chance to refuse. He grabbed the Xuanwu and began to investigate its condition.
Under Ji Yang’s check, he indeed found that Xuanwu’s body was filled with countless powers of lightning calamity—still that terrifying purple lightning. This kind of lightning was extremely powerful; an ordinary cultivator would turn into a muggle if they accidentally made contact.
However, this was not a significant problem for Ji Yang.
Especially after he had obtained the new divine ability, Thunderous Power.
These powers of lightning calamity were perfect for further enhancing his abilities.
“Forget it; it’s not like I’m rushing to this minute!”
Xuanqing twisted its turtle shell and advised.
But the next moment, Ji Yang activated his divine abilities.
Although Thunderous Power was a killing ability, it could also absorb lightning when used in reverse.
As his abilities operated, the powers of lightning calamity that had been quiet inside Xuanqing suddenly erupted.
In the next moment, purple lightning covered the entire turtle shell of Xuanqing, and once these lightning powers were stimulated, they scattered with a crackling sound.
But before these powers of lightning could fully explode, Ji Yang’s body acted like a whirlpool, sucking all the scattered lightning powers into himself.
In no time, the once erupting powers of lightning calamity were completely absorbed by Ji Yang.
Feeling his own momentum rising and his condition rapidly improving, Xuanqing was not overly happy at this moment.
Especially after seeing how easily Ji Yang had eliminated those powers of lightning calamity.
Thinking about the grandiose claims it had just made, Xuanqing felt a bit anxious and wanted to escape.
However, facing Ji Yang’s gaze, Xuanqing stopped its impulse. This person was a human-shaped True Spirit, and it worried that if it really ran away, it would end up smashing its turtle shell.
“Alright, the power of lightning calamity has been cleaned out. Show me your abilities quickly! Even if you can’t hide from Great Ascension stage cultivators, you should be able to from Unity with the Dao cultivators!”
Listening to Ji Yang’s words, Xuanqing nervously said:
“Well, what about Qi Refinement stage cultivators?”
