Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1059: Chapter 1055: Taiching

Leng Tieya smiled: ”Thank you.”

Hu Yuni shook her head: ”I didn’t put in much effort; it was the Thunder Sun Stone’s merit.”

Leng Tieya said, ”Do they really lack Thunder Sun Stone so badly?”

”Due to the celestial changes, it’s almost impossible to find Thunder Sun Stone. Their desire for it is beyond our imagination,” Hu Yuni said, her bright eyes shimmering with amusement.

Leng Tieya was lost in thought.

He understood Hu Yuni’s implication.

They could take advantage of the situation and ask for more things.

Leng Tieya said, ”We don’t have it here; does the Demon World lack Thunder Sun Stone too? What about the Human World?”

”The Demon World and Human World might have Thunder Sun Stone, but those realms are vast—when could they be found?” Hu Yuni shook her head: ”Moreover, the disciples of Fuyang Sect aren’t inclined to search for them.”

Leng Tieya slowly nodded: ”It’s too risky.”

”For those with strong cultivation, it’s unnecessary to take such a risk; for the weaker ones, they don’t dare take the risk,” Hu Yuni said, ”so they’re stuck here.”

Leng Tieya said, ”Can’t the sect provide a reward to encourage those with high cultivation to go?”

Hu Yuni chuckled: ”It seems that after losing several experts, they cancelled the reward.”

Leng Tieya frowned.

Hu Yuni said, ”This involves the internal cultivation route conflict within the Fuyang Sect, which is very complex—at times it’s the east wind overwhelming the west wind, and other times the west wind reversing the east wind.”

Leng Tieya was again lost in thought.

The greater the sect, the more complex the factions, with many internal conflicts.

A lot of it is the clash of ideologies and cultivation understanding, which cannot be reconciled.

”The Phoenix Sect’s inheritance is important for the Demon Clan, but not for them—it can be exchanged for these Thunder Sun Stones.”

Leng Tieya was unfazed: ”The human race also has the Phoenix Sect inheritance.”

Hu Yuni smiled: ”If the human race didn’t have the Phoenix Sect inheritance, how would Li Miaotan possess the Phoenix bloodline?”

Leng Tieya said, ”Do they then have the Dragon Subduing Sect inheritance?”

Hu Yuni shook her head: ”To my knowledge, other sects don’t have the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sect inheritance; perhaps the Human race does.”

Leng Tieya nodded thoughtfully.

So, the Heavenly Dragon Introduction must be the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sect’s inheritance.

...

The next morning, Leng Tieya suddenly opened his eyes.

Super Sense had already detected Hu Yuni and three young men beside the stone table under the pine tree outside the courtyard.

Hu Yuni wore flowing white robes, her expression indifferent, and among the three youths was Jing Huai.

Beside Jing Huai were two handsome young men, their expressions calm and composed, with remarkable demeanor.

Their gazes were steadfastly fixed on the pile of Thunder Sun Stone under the pine tree.

Seeing the Thunder Sun Stone casually heaped there, exposed to the elements, they felt an impulse of wasteful disrespect.

They longed to immediately move these Thunder Sun Stones back to their sect.

These are treasures that aid cultivation!

Leng Tieya pushed the door open to appear before them, clasping his fists with a smile.

”Haha... Mr. Sun.” Jing Huai stepped forward, clasping his fists with a hearty laugh: ”You are as impressive as ever.”

”The same goes for Young Master Jing,” Leng Tieya smiled: ”I didn’t expect Young Master Jing to come.”

”We’re familiar, so I was sent,” Jing Huai laughed: ”Familiar people make things easier.”

Leng Tieya smiled and nodded.

Jing Huai then introduced the other two Fuyang Sect experts to Leng Tieya.

Their demeanors were calm and amiable, with warm smiles and no arrogance, exhibiting excellent decorum.

Then they talked about this exchange.

”Mr. Sun, these Thunder Sun Stones are yours; the Phoenix Sect’s inheritance is yours for one day, and tomorrow we will reclaim this inheritance.”

”Alright.” Leng Tieya nodded readily: ”May I ask if your sect has the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sect’s inheritance?”

”Unluckily, we really don’t have it.” Jing Huai shook his head: ”It seems only Star-picking Cliff has it. By the way, we have the Ancient Taiqing Primordial Sect’s inheritance.”

Leng Tieya’s spirit instantly lifted: ”Taiqing Primordial Sect? What kind of sect is this?”

Taiching Primordial Sect, Heavenly Yuan Technique, Earth Origin Technique, Human Element Skill.

Little Outer Heaven contains fragments; unexpectedly, it’s mentioned here.

Could it be that the Ancient Strange Sect of Little Outer Heaven can be found here?

”You don’t know, Mr. Sun?”

”Forgive my ignorance.”

”Taiqing Primordial Sect indeed isn’t very famous; compared to Dragon Subduing Sect and Phoenix Sect, it’s somewhat lacking. But it’s not that their inheritance is weak, it’s just that there are too few disciples.”

”Does Taiqing Primordial Sect require very high aptitude?”

”Mr. Sun hits the mark!”

”So even if there is its inheritance, it’s impossible to master it, right?”

”Hehe... Mr. Sun is wise!”

”...How will we exchange?” Leng Tieya pondered for a moment and asked.

”We’ll give it all together.” Jing Huai said with a smile, ”Our Fuyang Sect has always been generous to friends!”

”...Thank you.” Leng Tieya cupped his fists.

Hu Yuni shook her head with a smile, ”Brother Jing, you aren’t being truthful!”

Jing Huai said, ”Our Fuyang Sect is much more generous than your Star-picking Cliff, isn’t it? Tsk tsk, look at your Star-picking Cliff, so petty!”

He had a sarcastic expression of disdain.

Hu Yuni gave him a sidelong glance but did not refute, looking at Leng Tieya, ”Sir, do not be dazzled by the inheritance of Taiqing Primordial Sect.”

Leng Tieya made a listening gesture.

Hu Yuni snorted, ”This Taiqing Primordial Sect couldn’t even complete its training in the Ancient Era, let alone now. It’s impossible to complete. That’s why they are handing it over so easily; otherwise, let them try the Flowing Wind Sword Technique, which is also an ancient inheritance.”

”Cough cough.” Jing Huai hurriedly said, ”Junior Sister Hu, there’s no need for that!”

Hu Yuni gave him a sidelong glance, ”I just can’t stand you pretending!”

Leng Tieya smiled, ”Is this Flowing Wind Sword Technique very powerful?”

”It’s not inferior to their sect’s swordsmanship.” Hu Yuni said, ”And it’s not that difficult to practice.”

”Cough, let’s put aside idle chatter, Mr. Sun, please take a look.” He took out a Dark Green Box from his sleeve.

This Dark Green Jade Box was almost identical to the one Hu Yuni brought initially, emitting a chilling cold that pierced to the bone.

He placed the Dark Green Jade Box on the stone table and smiled, ”Mr. Sun, would you like to take a look now?”

”Good.” Leng Tieya agreed promptly.

He sat beside the stone table, enduring the cold, watching Jing Huai strike the Jade Box several times.

The Jade Box opened, revealing a piece of Red Jade, like Mutton Fat Jade smeared with rouge.

In stark contrast to the Jade Box’s coldness, this Red Jade emitted heat.

Like a blazing flame, it radiated heat continuously.

This heat didn’t just scorch the skin; it penetrated deep into the bone marrow with a burning chill.

Leng Tieya couldn’t help but think of the Phoenix True Blood, scrutinizing this Red Jade.

Could this be the Phoenix Blood Jade formed from Phoenix True Blood?

”Mr. Sun?” Jing Huai noticed his expression had changed and smiled, ”Is anything amiss?”

”This jade is...?”

”Oh, this jade is quite marvelous, containing the inheritance of the Phoenix Sect.”

Leng Tieya seemed to be lost in thought.

”Why, do you find this jade appealing?” Jing Huai said with a smile, ”The inheritance within cannot be exchanged.”

Leng Tieya sighed, ”It’s a fine jade.”

Jing Huai laughed, ”If it weren’t for this, the inheritance would have disappeared in the sands of time long ago.”

Leng Tieya said, ”I wish to study this inheritance; can I leave temporarily?”

”Where to?”

”Find a secluded place.” Leng Tieya said.

Jing Huai hesitated.

Hu Yuni laughed, ”Are you afraid Mr. Sun will steal the jade and run away?”

”That’s not it.” Jing Huai laughed, ”It’s just that this jade is of great importance; it cannot leave our sight even for a moment.”

Leng Tieya sighed and said, ”Then forget it. The inheritance of Taiqing Primordial Sect...”

He originally intended to take it to Li Miaotan to see if it could be absorbed.

This jade is not as intense as the Phoenix True Blood beneath the Yellow Sands Hill. After absorption, it wouldn’t activate the bloodline as swiftly, perhaps just right.

Unfortunately, this wishful thinking won’t work.

Unless he directly gives up on everything else and steals the Red Jade to run.

With Phoenix True Blood around, it’s really unnecessary to make such a sacrifice.

Jing Huai pulled out a token from his sleeve, roughly the size of a palm, round in shape.

At first glance, it appeared to be a bronze token, adorned with copper embroidery, bearing an ancient design with faint patterns and densely packed small characters.

These small characters were obscured by green copper embroidery, making them unclear.

Jing Huai smiled, ”I’ll give this inheritance directly to you, Mr. Sun.”

”Really generous.” Hu Yuni snorted lightly.

Jing Huai chuckled, ”Anyway, we’re more generous than your Star-picking Cliff, aren’t we?”

Hu Yuni said irritably, ”No need for lip service, our sect will not treat Mr. Sun poorly.”

Jing Huai smiled and said, ”Then let’s just wait and see.”

Leng Tieya received the token; the feeling was indeed of a bronze token.

However, visible through Super Sense, the token’s surface was shrouded in a layer of brilliance, making it impossible to see clearly.

This secretly excited him, filling him with great curiosity.
